Fashion Foul

APC_logoNothing separates a fashion show from the mundane during fashion week like controversy. Ask Jean Touitou. During A.P.C.’s AW 2015 collection, the provocative laced designer was asked to describe his inspiration behind the presentation. Never one to run his thoughts through conscious filter, Touitou explained plainly to the unexcited media the collection was a “mix between the Watch the Throne (the 2013 Jay Z + Kanye album collaboration) single N***** in Paris and the famous Marlon Brando film Last Tango in Paris.” And as if those few comments didn’t spark a charge to the raging, out-of-control flames of current racial tension and discrimination, Touitou, often a walking figurative of inserting foot in mouth, looped Timberland into the charring by stating the brand, “is a very strong ghetto signifier.”

Fail. When asked to further explain those comments, Touitou immediately cited his friend/workship with Kanye West as a source of endorsement. Momentous fail. West, a like sufferer of inserting his foot in mouth publicly, hasn’t been very successful in his attempt to ascend to the glorious realm of fashion royalty. In fact every attempt West has made in designing has been met with either mixed or poor reviews, including his collaborations with A.P.C.  Mixing West into an already disastrous elixir coupled with Touitou’s larger than life attitude led Timberland to sever their working relationship with A.P.C.

“We have chosen to immediately terminate our involvement with the A.P.C. brand. Simply stated, this kind of language and approach is in complete contrast with our valves. Timberland seeks to collaborate with designers and brands who are at the forefront of lifestyle trends, equally important, they must also share our values. We will not tolerate offensive language or racial slurs of any kind being associated with the Timberland brand.”

Designers like Touitou create in the dark. Gone are the days when the French ruled the fashion universe, dictating unanimously the what, how & why of fashion. Long gone is the era of a trickle down theory in fashion, where the upper echelon of society decided acceptable wear and then over a period of time was slowly adapted by the lower classes. Today, the instantaneous realm of social media, the fashion blogger extraordinaire, street style & Instagram stars heavily influence and determine what design houses are sending down the runway. CoCo Chanel, a visionary and creative force, understood this, adopting it well before its time. “Fashion is not something that exists in dress(es) only, Fashion is in the sky, in the street…”

Maybe Jean Touitou should hire a good publicist. Then again, not even the best of publicists can dislodge his foot out of his mouth if he’s so insistent on keeping it in there.

*Touitou issued a standard statement exclusively to GQ on January 29th:

“When describing our brand’s latest collaboration, I spoke recklessly using terms that were both ignorant and offensive. I apologize and am deeply regretful for my poor choice of words, which are in no way a reflection of my personal views.”

Spring 2014 Wishlist

     Spring is the season of new beginnings, it is when we shed off our wintery skin (wardrobe) and layers and replace it with lighter fabrics and more vivid selections. The fashions gods in New York, London and Paris have spoken and since I have a direct line to said gods (yes I do, in my mind lol) here is a quick recap of Spring 2014 RTW. Draw inspiration to create your own original version of spring’s wishlist!*

New York:

Prints, prints and more prints! Whether tribal or mixed, prints were splattered all over the runway as designers found new and innovative ways to showcase them. Other great color combos were: pastels+neutrals, white+black and white+metallics.

bibhu spr donna spr dvf spr zac spr

It was all about bold, modern and sleek fashion in the City, think hipster cool kid with chic sophisticate. Most designers stuck with a contemporary white+black palette, mixing in a splash of color as a personal signature, while others went wild with lustrous fruity colors.

casasola erdem spr olowu tom spr

Bring on the seductive lady of fashion! Designers here turned the volume all the way up on femininity and were not afraid to show some skin! The collections kept in mind the effortless construction and delicate balance that makes a Parisian woman the ideal style tutor.

I recently wrote a post about seeing God’s goodness in the Land of the Living. It’s true! I am seeing God moving in amazing ways: on college campuses, in schools, in churches, and in neighborhoods.

The nightly news can be depressing. However, I want to encourage you to focus on what God is doing. Make no mistake: Good things are going on right now.

For that reason, I wrote When God Gives a Dream: Reaching Your Impossible Dream in God’s Power,” … and I’m giving it away right now. Why? Because I want to encourage you to step out in the God-sized dream that the Lord has given you!

Know this: Whenever God gives a dream, it won’t be easy to achieve in your own power. That’s because God gives impossible dreams that require His supernatural assistance.

You can get the book on Amazon Kindle e-readers here: Get the Book for Amazon Readers

or, you can get it for Nook, IPads, Kobo readers, and PDF here: Get Other Formats – Still Free!!

Know this: God has a purpose and a plan for your life. This book will help you:

  • Discover the characteristics of a God-inspired dream;
  • Learn how to determine if a dream is from God;
  • Be encouraged to press on when a dream seems lost;
  • Learn why we can trust God with our dream;
  • Discover the secret to reaching an impossible dream; and
  • Learn how to ask God for help to achieve a dream;

Yes, God is moving in wonderful ways. Go where you see Him moving!

Many blessings,

Kelly Langston

Danum Valley

At 5am on 11th July 1996 just after the first sunlight filled into the sky;my friend George Chew and myself left our hotel in Lahad Datu town mountain biking to Silam.The weather was not favouring us and it was raining.

We reached Silam,rain stopped but not completely.Our mountain biking journey got into offroad with lot of mud sticking onto the wheels making it difficult to pedal but that did not stop us. The beautiful rainforest by our sides kept us pedalling with light shower and at Taliwas Recreation Area,we filled our hungry stomuch with some dry foods.Then we proceeded our mud mad mountain biking journey.

At a point after mountain biking for about 60 kilometer,we encountered perhaps could be a nightmare to us;we heard some loud noises made by elephants in the nearby thick jungle along the roadside!!
Without thinking twice to wait to have a look at these Borneon pygmy elephants;it made our speed faster to leave that area.Our iron horses seemed like flying into the sky…..

We reached Borneo Rainforest Lodge at about 6.30pm and was so pleased to have Mr Heldi Angkangon welcoming us……….

In the space of 2 verses, Paul uses “love” as an adjective, a verb, and a noun. Here’s the passage:

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you…” (Eph.5:1-2)

We are “loved” children (adjective), “loved” by Christ (verb) and instructed to walk or live in “love” (noun). You might think Paul is trying to tell us something about love. Especially when you consider the prayer he wrote earlier in the chapter, that his readers would seek to know how much they are loved.

“I pray that you may be able to comprehend … the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ’s love for you, so that you may be filled with al the fullness of God.” (Eph.3:18-19).

Paul is most certainly not talking about some kind of forensic love — something that gives us a ticket to heaven but never touches us personally. He is praying that we would experience God’s love for us in all its depth and wonder. I suspect Paul knew how trusting God’s love could truly fill the void in his soul and fill him “with all the fullness of God.”

Zoflora Kitchen Wipes

Shit you’ll need:

  • One roll of Regina Blitz.
  • A lidded plastic tub.
  • Tap water.
  • Yer chosen Zoflora scent.
  • Scissors.

I thought I’d share this alternative to making wipes – this is not to say it’s better, it’s simply another method. If you’re wondering what the alternative IS, well basically folks have been adding Zoflora to cheap baby wipes which I’ve not tried personally, because this write up is how I’ve been doing it.

Regina Blitz is massssiiiive sheet wise. I love the stuff and use it to make these wipes and also face wipes. Make a pile of RB, cutting each piece in half and stacking it in your plastic tub. Add ONE CAPFUL of Zoflora to roughly half a pint of water. Add it slowly so the wipes are at optimum saturation – you might use a bit less or a bit more depending on how big your pile is. RB is perfect for this because it’s very very strong, and the pieces are much larger than typical kitchen paper.

If you use a full roll of RB, you will get an absolute shitload of wipes because it will go really far. Keep the lid on your tub to make sure they don’t dry out obviously.

That’s yer lot. You can use this method to create any type of wipe – face or baby wipes using appropriate ingredients, multi surface cleaner wipes etc. A splash of neat Flash in the water instead of Zoflora works. DO NOT MIX THEM. You don’t want to accidentally melt your lungs out creating chemical fumes. Yes folks will say that they have been doing it for a while with no issue – but the fact is that chemical toxicity can build over time, and before you know it, you’re wheezing like a forty-year-chain-smoker after attempting to run to the offy before closing time for a packet of cigs.

Kitchen Experiments: Face Wipes 🌱

I have a few of these home made personal products up my sleeve, so I’m putting them here because they’re not going to find their way to anyone sitting in the journal I have hidden in my kitchen.

You can pretty much buy dirt cheap face wipes these days since supermarkets realised that we can make them for much less than they can sling them, but they can be a bit crap and dry up easily, and be shit to folks with really sensitive skin (like me for example).

When it comes to making wipes of any kind, I use Regina Blitz, mainly because the pieces are MASSIVE, and so you can cut them in half and they won’t be tiny. Whenever I see a vendor describing a packet of wipes as large, I often think “in what fucking universe is that even CLOSE to large!?”

Shit you will need:

  • Strong kitchen roll – it doesn’t have to be the stuff I use, just make sure it’s a decent strong roll that doesn’t fall to bits when wet.
  • A rectangular tub with a lid.
  • Half a pint of water, warm but not boiled.
  • One tablespoon of baby lotion, or baby oil.
  • One tablespoon of baby wash, or baby shampoo.
  • I use about half a roll of Regina Blitz whenever I am making wipes. Make a pile of them, and cut each piece in half. Dump the pieces into your plastic tub, it doesn’t matter if the pile looks too big, when you pour the solution on them it will shrink down.
  • Before you add it to the water, combine the baby lotion/oil with the baby wash/shampoo. You can use other lotions and oils, it’s just if you’re using these to remove eye makeup, anything other than baby products is going to make you wish you don’t want your eyes anymore.
  • Pour the water into that combination, stir well and pour over the pile of kitchen roll in your tub. Depending on the absorbency of your chosen paper, you may need to adjust the amount of water you use, but if they’re waterlogged you know you went too far, you utter muppet. The warmth of the water will help the ingredients melt nicely.

  • Only make enough for a week as they don’t contain preservatives obviously.
  • DO NOT FLUSH THEM DOWN THE LOO YOU ABSOLUTE TURNIP SHEPHERD. Do you not remember the great London fatberg that lurked in the sewers and threatened humanity as we know it?
  • You can substitute baby oil or lotion for things like olive oil or aloe vera gel if you prefer it. Don’t use coconut oil however, as it will set things badly and nobody wants that. Be aware that if you add anything that might irritate your eyes, not to use the wipes to remove eye-makeup.
  • You can store them inside a resealable plastic bag if you want to take them with you anywhere.
  • You can experiment with essential oil combinations – mint and tea tree oils make refreshing face wipes for oily skin, but you HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. I would only ever use five drops of each of those oils maximum because you really don’t want skin burns. Once you add oils, the wipes have to be kept away from your eyes.
  • If you stick to baby products, that means you’ve essentially got baby wipes for your little ones too.
  • Avid recycling folks could replace the kitchen roll with muslin squares. This would make the wipes reusable as all you would have to do is wash them after. In fact any soft cotton material would work just as well if you want to produce less waste.

Here’s to clean faces and not feeling like a filthy bugger. 😎

Steroids For Sale in France

Background on Steroids Available for sale in France

Steroids For Sale in FranceOne of the most pressing inquiries by those which are exploring anabolic steroids for the initial time is “where are anabolic steroids offer for sale in France?” or “what are some things I need to know when trying to find steroids offer for sale in France?”.

There are various other inquiries that occur too, but generally, various concerns relating to the promotion of anabolic steroids are so numerous as a result of the fact that these are medications and elements that are in such higher need that there should be basic details available to those that are searching for anabolic steroids available for sale.

Anabolic steroids, despite what may be represented in the basic media or thought by the average individual, are very popular medications in quite high need. With a high need for anything, there will be an adequate supply, and also there will certainly be those which step in in order to offer that supply.

click here to buy Anabolic steroids in France

This is where the concept of anabolic steroids offer for sale comes into play. Anabolic anabolic steroids available for sale are offered in lots of various types and in numerous various methods. The existing legal status of anabolic steroids has a huge prominent impact on supply as well as need system for these medications, specifically taking into consideration exactly how different and also diverse the regulations are throughout the world.

In the Usa, which takes place to be one of the nations where the highest need for anabolic steroids alreadies existing, anabolic steroids are classified as Routine III drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, which was included in this act through the Anabolic Anabolic steroid Control Act of 1990. This efficiently made anabolic steroids unlawful to buy, make use of, or have without a legitimate medical professional’s prescription, along with unlawful to sell without a valid pharmacy permit.

Other Western countries such as the Uk as well as Canada have actually imposed more lax legislations, where property as well as usage for individual factors are legal, yet the trafficking of them are not. For much of the rest of the world, there are either no regulations or extremely lax regulations in regards to these materials.

There alreadies existing just a handful of nations worldwide that enforce meticulous prohibitive regulations. The inquiry that is for that reason asked is: if anabolic steroids are unlawful in the United States, where can anabolic steroids available be found? And also exactly what sort of steroids offer for sale are there? Where do they originate from if they are prohibited? Etc, etc. These inquiries will be taken care of right here.

Anabolic steroids available in France in Several Different Ways

The first thing to recognize for any person trying to find steroids offer for sale in the Usa is that given that these are controlled substances of the Schedule III type, they are most plentiful and also mainly sold by means of the black market. Anabolic steroids in the Usa (or any sort of country with similar legislations prohibiting the investment, possession, or use) are just lawfully offered for sale with a prescription provided through an accredited doctor (a medical professional).

Without a valid prescription, it is unlawful for any sort of pharmacy to dispense anabolic steroids of any type legally. Consequently, the two valid choices for those seeking steroids available for sale is to either land within the valid criteria for the obtainment of a prescription, or adhere to the avenues of the black market.

In order to get anabolic steroids for sale by means of prescription, the guidelines are very strict and also narrow. Anabolic steroids can not be recommended for any objectives besides for healing functions for the treatment of a marked condition or ailment. This leaves the objective of sports performance and body enhancement to be unknown by the clinical establishment, as well as consequently unobtainable for this purpose. If gotten for this objective, it would certainly be illegal.

The DEA keeps an eye on all prescriptions of Testosterone (as well as various other anabolic steroids) supplied by physicians with a data source, as well as audits are not unusual. There is for that reason hardly any aberration by doctors to prescribe anabolic steroids for efficiency boosting objectives because of the meticulous and also tight regulations.

The most usual diagnosed ailment that warrants the prescription of Testosterone or other anabolic steroids is for the purpose of TRT (Testosterone Substitute Therapy), for a problem specifically known as hypogonadism, which is the not enough manufacture of Testosterone in males.

Various other conditions which necessitate the legitimate prescription of Testosterone do exist, but nonetheless, performance or physique improvement is not recognized as one of them. Provided an individual lands within the needs for a legal and also legitimate prescription of Testosterone, he or she could obtain these steroids for sale from any sort of drug store, offered the prescription is still valid as well as offered to the pharmacologist.

Steroids For Sale in France

Where to buy Anabolic steroids in France?

For those that do not struggle with a health problem, illness, or condition that would certainly land within the needs for a legal prescription of anabolic steroids, the only viable choice is that of the underground market. The anabolic steroid black market is a metaphorically underground market that gives steroids available for sale that are of the beginning of either diverted pharmaceutical grade products, or underground laboratory (UGL) beginning items.

The difference in between these 2 qualities of anabolic steroids offer for sale is quite clear: pharmaceutical grade investments are those that are drawn away from drug stores (either locally or overseas) or perhaps from the source of manufacture available on the black market, and also UGL investments are anabolic steroids produced in clandestine research laboratories typically run by body builders that produce these items for the specific purpose of promotion on the black market as well as usage by the end customer, normally for efficiency as well as body enhancement.

There are threats and also benefits to both, with pharmaceutical grade items being of considerably higher quality whilst being priced quite high, and also a high possibility of fake or imitation products too. UGL items are typically much cheaper and also much more cost effective (and also much more usual and also offered for purchase), however due to the attributes of their manufacture, the top quality varies greatly between labs and/or also batches made by the exact same laboratories.

Using UGL steroids for sale at the existing time is the most proliferated of all products on the market at the moment, reaching regarding 85 % of all anabolic steroids available for sale on the underground market with the continuing to be 15 % being either pharmaceutical grade steroids available for sale, and/or counterfeits as well as counterfeits.

Hindi is an Indo-Aryan language with about 545 million speakers, 425 million of whom are native speakers. It is the main language used in the northern states of Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar. Itis spoken in much of north and central India alongside other languages such as Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi or Bengali. In other parts of India, as well as in Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Hindi is understood, and there is a significant number of Hindi speakers in South Africa, Mauritius, Fiji, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago and Nepal. In Fiji people of Indian origin speak Hindi, and in some areas the Fijian people also speak it.

Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, is one of official languages of the government of India - the other official language is English. Both languages are used in parliament, in the judiciary, in communications between the central government and state government, and for other official purposes.

कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल | कविता - रामधारी सिंह दिनकर | Ramdhari Singh Dinkar
जो अगणित लघु दीप हमारे,
तूफ़ानों में एक किनारे,
जल-जलाकर बुझ गए किसी दिन,
मांगा नहीं स्नेह मुँह खोल।
कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल।

पीकर जिनकी लाल शिखाएं,
उगल रही सौ लपट दिशाएं,
जिनके सिंहनाद से सहमी,
धरती रही अभी तक डोल।
कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल।

अंधा चकाचौंध का मारा,
क्या जाने इतिहास बेचारा,
साखी हैं उनकी महिमा के,
सूर्य, चन्द्र, भूगोल, खगोल।
कलम, आज उनकी जय बोल।

Several people, including two young children, an American military veteran, and a retired football player, all of whom are medical marijuana patients, have filed a suit against the Department of Justice in federal court in New York city. They allege that they have been discriminated against by the Federal Controlled Substances Act. They claim that the classification of marijuana as a schedule I drug violates a number of their constitutional rights. A schedule I drug has no medical use. Drugs like cocaine are classified as schedule II because it can be used medically (specifically, there are medicines that can be derived from it).

They allege that their right of due process, their right to travel, and the commerce clause have been violated. One commentator suggests they might also allege that their 8th Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment is being violated as well.

This suit comes at a time when the Attorney General of the United States, Jeff Sessions, is striking out against any marijuana use wherever he can. We are interested in what our readers think about this lawsuit.

Development Engineer, 3D Systems - Geomagic Solutions

People like shiny things; we all know that. And technically-minded people like technically shiny things. We also know that different people see different things, even when they are looking at the same thing.

Case in point: We recently received a couple of Cube 3D printers to take a look at and get familiar with, etc. The Cube 3D printer is a 3D printer that anyone can use to print out custom items such as toys, jewelry, mugs, etc., and it's supported by the web site, where you can download designs or buy 3D prints. But while printing pretty custom jewelry is all well and good, I was seeing the technical details. I was more interested in investigating and understanding the following:

  • What software format does it use?
  • What should I print first to explore the above?

Off I go, geeking out

To answer the above questions, I decided to print the Stanford Bunny, a classic 3D model that can be used to test many graphics algorithms such polygonal simplification, compression, and surface smoothing and servers as a benchmarking for 3D modeling algorithms. (I got that from Wikipedia).

From my perspective in development, I was most interested in the STL file format and how it works. Most CAD and 3D modeling packages can produce a text-based .stl file, containing a text representation of a 3D model by list vertex information x, y and z for each triangle in the model. A single triangle in .stl will look like the following:

facet normal 0.8122427343086 0.5101974818760 -0.2827724704604

outer loop

vertex 38.0982011600000 32.0786014200000 58.9726008500000

vertex 37.2748002400000 32.6444022400000 57.6283000400000

vertex 37.5229008500000 33.0267995600000 59.0308979200000

  • Normals are perpendicular lines to the face of the triangle
  • Vertex is the corner point of a polygon

Although the above format has held up for more than three decades, one major drawback of the .stl format is that an .stl file only describes the surface of a three dimensional object. Expression of color, materials and texture, and other CAD model attributes are not supported. Wouldn't it be great if something on the horizon that did just that?

Enter AMF (aka STL2)

Questions like this are not exclusive to me, and that's why the Additive Manufucturing Format (AMF) is being developed. AMF is an open standard for describing objects for additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing. (Again, wikipedia.) AMF supports those other attributes of a model that we seek, such as color, texture, material and print constellations ( physical print layout ), in a standard XML format.

Much work has been done in this area, including the drafting of the AMF standard doc, reference code and an AMF-ready application that imports the properly formatted AMF/XML formatted files.

For more information on the AMF standard see

Bunny is printed!

Okay, back to our bunny. After reading up on the Stanford Bunny (and its 69,451 triangles), loading the model into 3D Geomagic Studio 2012 and generally just experimenting with the model, I had a 3D-printed bunny in my hands. The printer was very simple to use and fun to tinker with. I was gaining an understanding of STL, and easy 3D printing - just what my developer-nerd brain was pursuing.

The epiphany

To finish up the 3D print, I had to remove the bunny from the printing plate with water, and as I was at the kitchen sink, Angie from Accounting walked in and said,"Oh how cute, a little bunny wabbit! Just in time for Easter! What other colors do you have? Can I get a couple?"

Polygonal Easter decoration. Go figure.

Boom. There it was. It dawned on me: The little bunny rabbit was more than the classic Stanford 3D model used by 3D modelers to test their algorithms. As I was looking at the 3D printer and the resulting 3D-printed bunny from a technical point of view, a fellow employee was looking at it from an aesthetic point of view: a timely holiday decoration!

Wow. I'm not sure I would've made the connection, given my head was buried in sea of vertices and normals, but Angie did. Even as a developer of software, I have never before been so struck by the realization of how different people view the same thing from vastly different pespectives and views. This is a lesson all of us can take back to our development work and just hold in the back of our minds: What I might regard as a great new feature in our software might not have the same result when viewed by someone from a different perspective.

There. Simple lesson over. Not very long after this epiphany, our 3D Geomagic office in RTP was hopping with colorful 3D printed bunny rabbits.

///Nitrogen generators
Nitrogen generators 2018-07-09T11:04:16+00:00

Nitrogen generators

Nitrogen generators manufactured by Airpol are designed to obtaining pure nitrogen from atmospheric air. The Airpol company manufactures two types of generators, which differ in the way nitrogen is extracted from the air. In generators based on the adsorption method (NGS-A), nitrogen is obtained by passing of air through carbon molecular sieve, making nitrogen molecules separated from the other components of the atmospheric air. Working component of the membrane generator (series NGS-M) is a membrane which also performs the function of separating the nitrogen molecules.

NGS Nitrogen generators can be designed according to the individual requirements of the customer if we are talking about the purity of obtained nitrogen, the destination (the container installation of the generator is possible). This allows you to optimize investment costs and, at the same time replacing the traditional methods of nitrogen delivery in the cylinders or in liquefied form.

Who’s Behind the ‘BLS Weblearn’ Credit Card Scam?

A new rash of credit and debit card scams involving bogus sub-$15 charges and attributed to a company called “BLS Weblearn” is part of a prolific international scheme designed to fleece unwary consumers. This post delves deeper into the history and identity of the credit card processing network that has been enabling this type of activity for years.

onlinelearningaccess.com, one of the fraudulent affiliate marketing schemes that powers these bogus micropayments.

onlinelearningaccess.com, one of the fraudulent affiliate marketing schemes that powers these bogus micropayments.

At issue are a rash of phony charges levied against countless consumers for odd amounts — such as $10.37, or $12.96. When they appear on your statement, the charges generally reference a company in St. Julians, Malta such as BLS*Weblearn or PLI*Weblearn, and include a 1-888 number that may or may not work (the most common being 888-461-2032 and 888-210-6574).

I began hearing from readers about this early this month, in part because of my previous sleuthing on an eerily similar scheme that also leveraged payment systems in Malta to put through unauthorized junk charges ($9.84) for “online learning” software systems. Unfortunately, while the names of the companies and payment systems have changed, this latest scam appears to be remarkably similar in every way.

Reading up on this latest scam, it appears that the payments are being processed by a company called BlueSnap, which variously lists its offices in Massachusetts, California, Israel, Malta and London. Oddly enough, the payment network used by the $9.84 scams that surfaced last year — Credorax — also lists offices in Massachusetts, Israel, London and Malta.

And, just like with the $9.84 scam, this latest micropayment fraud scheme involves an extremely flimsy-looking affiliate income model that seems merely designed for abuse. According to information from several banks contacted for this story, early versions of this scam (in which fraudulent transactions were listed on statements as PLI*WEBLEARN) leveraged pliblue.com, formerly associated with a company called Plimus, a processor that also lists offices in California and Israel (in addition to Ukraine).

The very first time I encountered Plimus was in Sept. 2011, when I profiled an individual responsible for selling access to tens of thousands of desktop computers that were hacked and seeded with the TDSS botnet. That miscreant — a fellow who used the nickname “Fizot” — had been using Plimus to accept credit card payments for awmproxy.net, an anonymization service that was sold primarily to individuals engaged in computer fraud.

Apparently, the Internet has been unkind to Plimus’s online reputation, because not long ago the company changed its name to BlueSnap. This blog has a few ideas about what motivated the name change, noting that it might have been prompted in part by a class action lawsuit (PDF) against Plimus which alleges that the company’s marketing campaigns include the “mass production of fabricated consumer reviews, testimonials and fake blogs that are all intended to deceive consumers seeking a legitimate product and induce them to pay. Yet, after consumers pay for access to any of these digital goods websites, they quickly realize that the promotional materials and representations were blatantly false.”

Olympic Medalist, High School Coach Arrested on Suspicion of Contacting San Gabriel Student With Sexual Intent

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

Police arrested an Olympic track star on Friday after it was suspected he had initiated contact with a minor with the intent of committing a sex crime, officials said.

Danny Harris is seen in a booking photo released June 2, 2017, by the San Gabriel Police Department.

Danny Lee Harris, a silver medalist at the 1984 Olympics, was taken into custody around 12:20 p.m. by San Gabriel police detectives, according to a release from the agency.

Harris, 51, worked as an assistance track coach at Gabrielino High School, according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

The police department only said it had been working with the San Gabriel Unified School District to investigate a report of inappropriate contact between a walk-on athletic coach and student.

The alleged communication was in an electronic format, the Tribune reported.

The district removed Harris from his position on May 17, officers said.

In addition to placing second in the 400-meter hurdles at the Los Angeles Olympics, Harris is known for unseating undefeated 400-meter hurdle champion Edwin Moses at a 1987 meet in Madrid.

Moses still held the world record, however, and put Harris back in second place at the 1987 World Championships in Rome.

A documentary film released last year, “Crossing the Line,” chronicled the athlete’s struggle for success after becoming an orphan at age 14 and later battle with drug addiction.

Harris is currently being held on $150,000 bail, according to inmate records.

He is scheduled to appear in court on June 6 in the Alhambra branch of Los Angeles County Superior Court.

San Gabriel police continue to investigate the case.

In 2018, Resolve to Keep Employment Records Secure

Contributed by Noah A. Frank, February 8, 2018

Though hacked systems are alarming, too often, data breaches come from much more obvious sources, such as computers without passwords (or weak ones), files left sitting out on desks, and even briefcases left on airplanes (like Department of Homeland Security analysis of terrorist threats at the Super Bowl). An employer’s exposure for data breaches can be significant. At minimum fines, civil suits (including class actions), lost trust and bad publicity, and remediation costs.

Data breach 2

Lock on a computer keyboard

In 2017 alone, some of the major headline data breaches include the Paradise Papers and Panama Papers scandals (two data breaches totaling 3.9TB of data and 24.5M documents), a credit reporting agency, a telecom provider and a wholly owned web service provider. As we previously discussed, employers are obligated through various statues and regulations to keep and maintain many types of employment records containing significant personal, confidential, and highly sensitive information. Such records range from job applications and resumes, to tax forms and benefits applications, to medical records stemming from workers’ compensation, disability, and FMLA claims. These records contain employees’ (and their dependents’) addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, dates of birth, banking and financial information, and highly sensitive medical information. Other internal files may contain client information, usernames, and even passwords that employees keep the same across work and personal accounts. In short, employers maintain all of the information necessary to completely hack sensitive information exposing all employees to possible identity theft, or other adverse use of their private information.

Data Security in the 21st Century

The significant data breach risks require companies to practice good record maintenance hygiene. Some important and simple steps to follow in 2018 include:

  • Secure electronic systems: restrict access to necessary programs, folders, and files, with employees using unique, memorable passwords/passphrases. Perform a physical “audit” to ensure employees are not storing passwords beneath keyboards (yes, it still happens!).
  • Utilize protection: lock offices, install privacy screen filters, keep files secured. Remember, a data breach can be as simple as one prying employee looking in another’s file left on a desk – or the cleaning service pocketing an entire file.
  • Keep communications confidential: avoid unintentional disclosure through speakerphone and group printers.
  • Enable remote wipe capabilities in case portable devices are lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised.
  • Plan for the unexpected: establish protocols to secure systems and maintain data integrity should it be necessary to terminate an employee, including the chief technology officer, and how to handle a data breach should it occur.
  • Engage legal counsel as necessary to perform audits of policy and practice, address high risk situations to ensure legal compliance, and shepherd remediation and handle concise communications if and when a breach occurs.

Through strategic planning and implementation of security policies and protocols, companies can be prepared to efficiently address situations in a fluid and dynamic manner without impeding operations.

Hello again.. It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I think it’s because I couldn’t find a layout with polka dots before; I just adore polka dots.

Polka dots aside, in the past three years or so I have been a busy lady.  Went through three promotions at work, had another baby, and became a stay at home mom.  Crazy how staying at home with the kids is more exhausting than working a full 40 hour work week and then coming home to care for the hubby, babies, and home.  Basically, the grass isn’t always greener.  But, while the grass may not always be greener on the other side; the side you spend more time on and with is going to be the better grass.  It was a hard decision to stay home: I had been with my company twice the amount of time that I have been a wife, let alone mother.  I worked hard for my promotions, salary, and reputation.  I spent a lot of time on that grass.

Now I am home with two kids everyday.. by myself.  But God is faithful.  I could look longingly at the other side of the fence; where my decisions were respected and obeyed (or, at least where those under my authority had the decency to pretend they respected the decisions), where I had authority at my place of work, where I was the person to go to for answers.  Now, my minions try to boss me around.  They want to be the teachers when they have yet to master the art of bathing.  This grass looks brown-oh it’s beautiful, but sometimes it’s crunchy on my feet where I want comfort.  I’m not allowed as much caffeine as I feel I need since I’m nursing the mini minion; yet there is no sleeping in or turning in early.  Corporate America is beginning to look like a vacation.  Did you know that a three year old will expect you to kiss a boo boo, even when they got it while being willfully defiant (I got that phrase from my mom-she loved it)?  You told them a million times not to jump off the couch, they bump their head, and all of a sudden now they need your support.  Back at my old job, that would have been a write up.  At this job, it’s a kiss and half a box of junior mints.  But I digress.

The point is, this grass I’m spending time on won’t be getting too green if I don’t meet it’s needs.  So, I water with the Word, sow in prayer, and sun it in worship of the Son.  I may not get the accolades that I in my selfishness wish I would receive (the bonuses in this job are not monetary. no shopping spree at Coach for me in the near future!); but this is the grass I want to have flourish and grow.  I’m not perfect in my efforts, but I am making the effort and am willing to learn and be trained.  My time on this earth will not be for long: I want each moment and memory to count.

I leave you with two verses today in regards to grass, and just who makes it to grow.  If the Lord would favor me in my work outside my home; then He will certainly favor me in my work within my home.

“Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.”                                                                                Psalm 147:8

“Ask ye of the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.”                                                                 Zechariah 10:1

Rain on my household Lord; rain on us with your mercy, justice, friendship, healing.  Let your Spirit fall on us like rain and grow us in grace.  My trust is in you, this is the time of rain Lord: provide the rain.  Lord, grow this grass, make it green, something of beauty, something to reflect your goodness, something to lead those who spend time on it to You.

Dragon by Dragon – November 1981 (55)

Getting back on the blogging track means getting back into the Dragon by Dragon articles.

This week, I’m going to take a look at Dragon #55, from November 1981. This one has a really good beginning – a cover by Erol Otus. The best thing about the cover – I have no idea what that monstrous thing is. This, to me, lies at the heart of old school games – the freedom to invent something new every game, or to add all sorts of fun details to things old and well-known without the need to invent new mechanics.

I think one of the downfalls of 3rd edition D&D was the attempt to standardize fantasy. Standardization may be important for “branding”, but it’s terrible for creativity. I think many corporations these days are cutting their own throats by pushing “branding” over creativity.

On to the review …

First, a moment of righteous anger from the letters page:

“A lot of people seem to have a warped view of how to create a character. Some think you start off at 20th level with all the magic you can carry. Others have the strange notion that you get experience from taking damage. (A character in my world was nearly cut in half by a weapon hit and demanded he get experience for it: Why didn’t he just beat his head against a wall until he achieved godhood?)”

I enjoyed that bit – well said Greg Fox of Scotia, New York

Second, a note of the beginning of the end of Old School in Ed Greenwood’s review of the Fiend Folio

“The beauty of the AD&D rule system is its careful attention to detail, “serious” (i.e., treating monsters as creatures in a fantasy world, not as constructs in a fantasy game) tone, and consistency. The FIEND FOLIO Tome mars this beauty. In its pages this DM finds too much lack of detail, too many shifts in tone, and too many breaches of consistency.”

Here we see the cleaving of the playership – one side needing a “serious” imaginary world and the other just needing a fun place to play for a few hours. I’m in the latter group, and of course love the Fiend Folio. It’s probably not a surprise that I don’t much are for Mr. Greenwood’s Forgotten Realms setting – though I mean no disrespect to Mr. Greenwood. He’s a hell of a creator, and deserves great respect in the gaming world. It just sounds like we’re looking for different things from our gaming.

I’ll note one more line from the review:

“Perhaps it should have been a D&D® book, not one for the AD&D™ game.”

Guess that’s why I always liked the D&D rules better than the AD&D rules.

I will indulge my sense of humor for reviews one last time here, with this peach from a second review of the Fiend Folio.

“First, the names of the dragons are given in the wrong order. If you look in the Monster Manual under the entry indexed as “Dragon: White” you would see at the top of the description, “White Dragon (Draco Rigidus Frigidus).” The Latin name of the dragon is put in parentheses after the English name. But in the FIEND FOLIO under “Dragon, Oriental” a subtitle will read, “Li Lung (Earth Dragon),” with the Chinese name first and the English name in parentheses. Now, who is going to call this dragon “Li Lung” when “Earth Dragon” is much easier to remember? The names should have been given in reverse form (Oriental name last) for the sake of convenience, if nothing more.”

The joy of writing for nerds. At least the reviewer was focusing on the big picture, and not nitpicking.

Now to the feature articles:

Dinosaurs: New Theories for Old Monsters by Lawrence Schick raises the problem we still face with these creatures that we don’t face with fantasy monsters – we don’t know enough. We know more now than we did then, of course, which means we could well be revising monster stats for these beasts forever. This is why I prefer using dinosaurs in my games as though they were fantasy monsters based on what you got in old movies … with just a dash of what we now know (the potential for brilliant plummage, for example) to make them weird.

Gary Gygax has a nice article covering some of the peoples of Oerth. This was reprinted in the old Greyhawk boxed set, and I remember reading it there and thinking “Wow, I didn’t realize you could make this kind of thing up.” It was one of those “unknown unknowns” to me as a kid. I mean, the world is full of people, so I guess people in a D&D world will look like people in our own world, so you don’t really need to describe them. I had a lot to learn about the joys of fantasy.

Katherine Kerr has a nice piece on Robin Hood (he has a price of 200 gp on his head, you know). She makes him a 12th level fighter, Chaotic Good, with some pretty high ability scores. This brings up a thought – that D&D is actually better at depicting cruel reality than heroic fantasy in some ways. After all, when we try to model heroes of fantasy literature in D&D, we have to make them very high level and usually give them very high ability scores. Much of the “evolution” of D&D over the years seems to have been an effort to make it more amenable to fantasy heroes than the original game. Sounds funny to say this, given the presence of “heroes” and “super-heroes” in OD&D.

Oh – I should add that Will Scarlet is an 8th level thief, Little John a 10th level fighter, Friar Tuck a 7th level cleric and the evil Sheriff (lawful evil, to be precise) a 6th level fighter.

“It has been recorded, in the lost scrolls of Caractos the Scribe, of which only fragments now exist, that… from the ice-world of Northumbria, many ages ago, there came a youth named Niall, son of Thorkon the Mighty, who was destined to roam the world as he knew it, and to whom was to be given the appellation, the Far-Traveler…”

So begins another tale of Niall by Gardner Fox.This is good, old-fashioned pulp barbarian stuff, so worth a read for old school sorts like myself.

Speaking of old school, this issue has a Basic D&D adventure called The Creature of Rhyl by Kevin Knuth (could this be him?).

The adventure scores one old school point with reversed names – King Namreh (Herman) and Prince Laechim (Michael). It involves treking into the wilderness to hunt a giant monster and rescue the prince from an evil magician.

My only quibble with this dungeon is the presence of some pretty decent magic items on the upper level without too much guarding it. This may be because there are a couple tough monsters lurking in the lower levels that have to be dealt with. There is a nice puzzle room here, and overall it seems like a good rescue mission sort of adventure.

Pat Reinken (perhaps this fellow?) has a nice article on the tactics of escaping danger, mostly covering magic items that help you get away from danger in one piece.

The Dragon’s Bestiary features the Devil Spider with awesome Erol Otus artwork, which makes sense since Otus invented the monster. The monster is predicated on trying to escape from sticky webs, in such a manner as to make for an exciting fight. It’s a tough monster, so don’t play with it unless you’re high enough level not to end up spider food.

Jeff Brandt introduces the Surchur, which is quite a horrifying thing, humanoid with a mass of tentacles in place of a head. It’s a mid-level monster that doesn’t have many tricks up its sleeve, but which could still give a party lots of problems. Kind of a good Lovecraftian thug.

Ed Greenwood presents the dyll in this issue, essentially a swarm of flying leeches.

The final monster is Craig Stenseth‘s poltergeist, the spirit of chaotic gnomes from Limbo and Gladsheim sent to the Material Plane to spread chaos. Nice origin idea for them.

Speaking of monsters – the magazine reviews a cool miniature called the “gorillasaurus”, which is actually a hybrid of gorilla and rhinoceros (so maybe gorillaceros would have been a better name). The image is terrible in the magazine, but I found a good shot at the AD&D 2nd Edition Holdout blog that tells a good story about using it in-game.

For comic fans, this issue has an early Snarfquest, a nice Wormy entry and a What’s New?.

As always, I’ll leave you with some Tramp and his wonderful little tree trolls …

God bless – be kind to one another – and have some fun for crying out loud!

China Accused of Hacking Cambodian Government Institutions

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA — Cyberattackers have been caught hacking key Cambodian government institutions in what is strongly believed to be a coordinated Chinese government attack ahead of elections set for this month, a U.S. cybersecurity firm has alleged.

Cambodia’s National Election Committee, Senate, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior, and Ministry of Economy and Finance have all been breached, along with computer systems of foreign diplomats, media institutions and opposition figures, an investigation by FireEye Inc. concluded.

“We expect this activity to provide the Chinese government with widespread visibility into Cambodian elections and government operations,” the firm said in a report issued Tuesday. “Additionally, this group is clearly able to run several large-scale intrusions concurrently across a wide range of victim types.”

Cambodians head to the polls on July 29 in elections that follow last year’s dissolution of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), the only viable contender to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).

FireEye discovered that a suite of malicious software, or malware, that they had tracked since 2013 had been deployed against Cambodian political targets since at least April 2017, including numerous members of the CNRP.

The malware suite — TEMP.Periscope — was carelessly left on publicly accessible servers, allowing FireEye to observe its logs, which revealed “objectives, operational tactics, and a significant amount of technical attribution-validation.”

The information included evidence that attackers operated from locations in China using local-language computer systems, as well as behavior consistent with known Chinese cyberespionage practices, FireEye said.

It further strengthened FireEye’s long-held belief that the software, which it said has previously been used against maritime targets related to China’s sensitive claims over the South China Sea, is being deployed by Beijing.

Benjamin Read, senior manager of cyberespionage analysis at FireEye, said China could just be conducting traditional espionage to keep tabs on a strategically important partner but might also be orchestrating something “a little bit more concerning.”

“Obviously in the United States, in France, you saw these sorts of information operation campaigns that followed after hacking,” Read said.

Russia has been accused of trying to rig elections in both those countries by hacking the private data of candidates, leaking it, and then using it as the basis of large, targeted social media campaigns against them.

Read said FireEye had not attributed coordinated campaigns of that nature to China before.

“But the broad targeting of Cambodian institutions, both government and opposition leading up to the elections, raised that possibility,” he added.

FireEye’s report said the same software tools were used against commercial targets, including what it described as a defense industrial base in the United States and a chemical company in Europe.

The Chinese Embassy in Phnom Penh declined to comment and the Cyberspace Administration of China did not reply to VOA inquiries.

Cambodia has fallen under the orbit of Beijing in recent years, becoming a key supporter within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations of China’s claims to the South China Sea. China, in turn, has showered Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has ruled for 33 years, with investments, infrastructure loans and political support.

Calls to officials in the Cambodian government bodies identified in the report have gone unanswered, while Ou Phannarith, director of the Department of ICT Security, could not be reached.

FireEye has not been able to provide any detail on what information was stolen from those targeted in the attacks — whom they were able to identify from logs on the malware servers.

In-Q-Tel, a nonprofit CIA-funded venture capital fund, has a less than 1 percent stake in FireEye, according to a 2014 post on its website.

Spearphishing incident

The malicious servers in question were discovered after FireEye began investigating a suspicious email that was sent to Kem Monovithya, the daughter of jailed CNRP leader Kem Sokha.

Kem Monovithya, who was also the CNRP deputy public affairs head, received what appeared to be a perfectly normal email from the respected Cambodian human rights group Licadho.

“I’ve been receiving a lot of phishing emails for the last year or so, but a lot of them are very obvious, but this one wasn’t. It was very personal,” she said.

The deceptive email, sent in the name of a real Licadho staff member, implored her to contribute to an article for The Washington Post on human rights through an attached list of questions, which she realized was a suspicious document.

FireEye was called in and its investigation of malware attached to the email led unexpectedly to familiar territory: servers running TEMP.Periscope software.

Licadho director Naly Pilorge said her organization appeared to be a victim of its own integrity, although in this case it wasn’t the target.

“Because of the nature of the work we do, and in this case and it’s really quite unfortunate, but part of the reason that there was an attempt to impersonate us was because of our reputation,” she said.

Licadho has also been on the receiving end of such attacks.

In May, FireEye reported that software inserted into the website of The Phnom Penh Post, which attempted to trick Licadho staff members into giving up their passwords, was planted by a Vietnamese state-linked hacking group.

“Recently, these two incidents show that the attacks are much more sophisticated and complex and targeted,” Pilorge said, adding she was surprised to see Cambodian government institutions had been targeted.

Don’t worry about your major, it’s bad for your health

John Bricker, Opinions Editor

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Email This Story

While college students should be encouraged to choose a major and make the most of their education, students at De Anza College should do their best not to obsess over their major.

Your major will most likely not directly determine your career.

According to a 2013 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, only 27.3 percent of college graduates work in a job directly related to their college major.

For example, my father earned a creative arts major from San Jose State and ended up working as a project manager at Apple. That job was not anything close to what he envisioned during college, but has supported him and his family well.

Plans change, and you can be exposed to opportunities that you would never expect.

Even on the off chance that your college education will determine your career, the average student does not have choose a major while they work on their GE courses, especially with the less expensive tuition at De Anza.

If you take more than two years to figure out what you want to do with your life, you will still only spend a fraction of what you would at a four year university. Community college is a safe space to experiment and find a feasible career you can excel in.

Of course, if you have a grasp on what major you want to pursue, go for it. But don’t panic if you decide to change majors. Just adjust your education plan and keep going.

If you don’t know what major you want to pursue, start working on GE courses, declare a placeholder major to keep priority registration, and keep your eyes open for something you might love.

And if you have college figured out, don’t pressure your fellow students into committing to a major.  Students don’t need even more stress.

According to the American College Health Association, 34.5 percent of college students felt so depressed that it became difficult to function at some point in 2015.

Queen of Latin Music

Musical Notes — Celia Cruz

Produced by Lawrence Standifer Stevens

Written by Joseph E. Casanova

Legendary Cuban songstress Celia Cruz made the entire world want to dance and yell “¡Azucar!” (Sugar) with salsa classics, Oye Como Va and La Vida Es un Carnaval (Life Is a Carnival).

Spanish network, Telemundo, recently premiered a new drama series entitled Celia based on the singer’s early life, focusing on the birth of her career in the midst of the Cuban revolution.

Celia also traces the Guarachera de Cuba’s enduring relationship with her husband, trumpet-player Pedro Knight.

“The Queen of Latin Music,” as she was often called, was born in 1925 in Havana, Cuba, and passed away in 2003 at age 77 in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Knight died four years later in California.

The six-time Grammy winner scored international club favorites with La Negra Tiene Tumbao (The Woman Has Swagger) and a cultural version of I Will Survive called Yo Vivire.

Celia Cruz’s music inspired me to sign up for Friday night salsa lessons at one of the local universities.

I had been out with friends and saw how much fun they had grooving to the tropical beats.

“I can do this!”

“Of course, you can!” I saw one or two of them rolling their eyes.

I was about to prove them wrong.

But. . . the class wasn’t what I expected. The music should’ve been more contemporary instead of that old school material. However, I asked this attractive, older lady to dance. She eyed me up and down “Oh, sure. Why not?!”

I took her hand and thought “I got this.”

However, after a couple spins around the dance floor, she hobbled away and said, “Umm. I think I’ll go salsa with someone who actually knows how!”

I had accidentally stepped on her feet, nearly ruining her new pair of heels. I’m surprised she didn’t send me a bill.

Despite it all, I took Celia Cruz’s advice and decided to live my life as a carnival. Well, at least one of the sideshows.

Image of Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole

Natalie Maria Cole (February 6, 1950 – December 31, 2015) was an American singer, songwriter, and performer. The daughter of Nat King Cole, Natalie rose to musical success in the mid–1970s as an R&B artist with the hits "This Will Be", "Inseparable", and "Our Love". After a period of failing sales and performances due to a heavy drug addiction, Cole re-emerged as a pop artist with the 1987 album Everlasting and her cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". In the 1990s, she re-recorded standards by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable... with Love, which sold over seven million copies and also won Cole numerous Grammy Awards. She sold over 30 million records worldwide. On December 31, 2015, Cole died at the age of 65 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, due to congestive heart failure.

Reading Between the Lines: Wedding Licenses , Counseling, etc.

Ok great! You’ve got the guy and the ring and now all you can think about is planning the wedding of your dreams. While this is absolutely normal you also need to consider the other things that come along with planning a successful wedding and marriage.

Simply saying “I Do” is not all it takes to be married these days. The first thing you need to do after you’re engaged is to start looking into marriage licensing laws where you live. The requirements and fees for obtaining a marriage license vary from state-to-state .  Once you are aware of the laws in your state then it will be time to proceed with applying for your license, this process will require both of you to be present as well as a witness such as the maid-of-honor or best man. Though most license’s are granted within 48 hours of the application it is important that you choose to obtain the license closer to your wedding day because they are only valid for a few months.Once this is done the person who will be marrying you two will have to also sign the license after your ceremony and mail it to the proper offices to be filed.

Another thing to check off while planning your big day is pre-marital counseling. Though most couples feel that they do not need counseling so early on it will help the two of you for many great reasons. For example, The counseling will help you strengthen your communication skills this will allow the two of you to properly discuss issues rather than arguing pointlessly for hours on end, it will also prevent the two of you from going to bed mad at one another. Counseling can also help the two of you develop goals for yourselves as a family , this way you both know what the other is working towards and what you need to help your spouse reach that goal.

Nothing can kill the happiness of wedding planning faster than a prenup. But with one in three first marriages ending in divorce , a prenup is the best way to protect yourself and your finances if things were to ever go downhill. Though it is not very romantic more and more couples find themselves discussing prenuptial agreements as a way to put all of their financial cards on the table before proceeding to marriage . You do not have to be rich however to have a prenup drawn up for the two of, it is just a way for the two of you to discuss in writing what you will do in the event of a divorce. Contrary to popular beliefs this does not mean that you two are planning for a divorce so don’t think of it that way.

Once all of the paper-work has been signed and counseling has been done you two will find that the rest is easy sailing. Though marriage is not easy it is a partnership that the two of you should want to build on every single day. ENJOY!!!
