Proposition 65, more formally known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a California law passed by citizen initiative with 63% of the popular vote. The statute reads:
"No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly discharge or release a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity into water or onto or into land where such chemical passes or probably will pass into any source of drinking water…" (CA Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.5)
"No person in the course of doing business shall knowingly and intentionally expose any individual to a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without first giving a clear and reasonable warning…" (CA Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.6)
Proposition 65 provides that the Legislature may amend the law by a two-thirds vote and only "to further its purposes."
List of chemicals: Proposition 65 requires the Governor to publish a list of chemicals that are known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, and to update this list at least once a year. The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) maintains the list of chemicals regulated under Proposition 65. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 27, Section 27001)
The most recent list can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/files/P65single062212.pdf.
Businesses that expose individuals to listed chemicals, or discharge listed chemicals, must comply with the following requirements:
Clear and reasonable warnings: A business is required to warn a person before "knowingly and intentionally" exposing that person to a listed chemical. A business must be aware that it is causing an exposure, and the exposure must result from a deliberate act, like the sale of a product. There is no requirement that a business is aware that the exposure violates the law, or intends to violate the law or cause harm. The warning given must be "clear and reasonable" and must effectively reach the person before exposure. Warning requirements take effect 12 months after the date that a chemical is added to the Proposition 65 list.
Pre-approved ("safe harbor") warnings: The Proposition 65 regulations provide for certain warnings that, if properly transmitted, are deemed to be clear and reasonable. These are referred to as "safe harbor warnings." A discussion of the regulatory requirements for "safe harbor warnings" can be found here:
https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/proposition-65-warning-regulations-and-recent-amendments#warning
https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/businesses#warning
A business need not use the "safe harbor warning," and can provide an alternative warning as long as it is "clear and reasonable" under the statute.
Prohibition on discharges into drinking water: A business must not knowingly discharge or release a listed chemical into drinking water, or onto or into land where it passes or probably will pass into a source of drinking water. This prohibition takes effect 20 months after the date that a chemical is added to the Proposition 65 list.
Yes. The following are exempt:
Governmental agencies and public water utilities: All federal, state and local government agencies, as well as entities operating public water systems, are exempt.
Businesses with nine or fewer employees.
Exposures that pose no significant risk of cancer: A warning about listed chemicals known to cause cancer ("carcinogens") is not required if the business can demonstrate that the exposure occurs at a level that poses "no significant risk." This means the exposure is calculated to result in not more than one excess case of cancer in 100,000 individuals exposed over a 70-year lifetime. The Proposition 65 regulations identify "no significant risk" levels for certain carcinogens. The most recent list of no significant risk levels can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/getNSRLs.html.
Exposures that will produce no observable reproductive effect at 1,000 times the level in question: A warning is not required for chemicals known to the State to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm ("reproductive toxicants") if the business can demonstrate that the exposure will produce no observable effect, even at exposures 1,000 times the level in question. This is known as the "maximum allowable dose level." In other words, the level of exposure must be below the "no observable effect level (NOEL)," divided by 1,000, as required by the statute. The NOEL is the highest dose level that has not been associated with observable adverse reproductive or developmental effects. The most recent list of maximum allowable dose levels can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/getNSRLs.html.
Exposures to listed chemicals that occur naturally in foods: Listed chemicals can occur naturally in certain foods, as an inherent part of the food's composition, because chemicals that occur naturally in the soil are taken up by food crops, or for other reasons. To avoid excessive warnings on common food items, OEHHA regulations allow an exemption for listed chemicals in food that a business proves to be "naturally occurring" and reduced to the "lowest level currently feasible." The term "naturally occurring" is defined in specific and narrow terms in the regulations. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 27, Section 25501) These "naturally occurring" chemicals in food do not count toward the exposure under Proposition 65.
Discharges that do not result in a "significant amount" of the listed chemical entering into any source of drinking water: There is an exemption for businesses that can demonstrate that the discharge will not cause a "significant amount" of the listed chemical to enter any drinking water source, and complies with all other applicable laws, regulations, permits, requirements, or orders. A "significant amount" is any detectable amount, unless the business can prove that the discharge does not exceed the "no significant risk" or "maximum allowable dose" levels.
Enforcement is carried out through civil lawsuits brought by the California Attorney General, or by a district attorney or city attorney of a city with a population exceeding 750,000. Private parties acting in the public interest can also bring Proposition 65 lawsuits, but only if they have provided at least 60 days notice of the alleged violation to the business, as well as to the Attorney General and the appropriate district attorney and city attorney, and the Attorney General, district attorney or city attorney has not taken action. The notice must provide adequate information about the alleged violation and comply with the requirements specified in the regulations. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 27, Section 25903, and Title 11, Sections 3100-3102)
If a business is found to be in violation of Proposition 65, a court may order the business to stop committing the violation. The business is also subject to civil penalties of up to $2,500 per day for each violation.
Proposition 65 is a "right to know" law based on the notion that members of the public have a right to know when they are being exposed to listed carcinogens or reproductive toxins. The law was designed to allow individual consumers and their families to decide for themselves whether to assume the chemical exposure risks of purchasing particular products or frequenting particular premises.
A Proposition 65 warning informs a consumer that s/he is being exposed to carcinogens or reproductive toxins that exceed certain threshold levels. This is not the same as a regulatory decision that a product is "safe" or "unsafe." A consumer can seek information about the actual levels of exposure from the business that produces the product or causes the exposure in order to decide whether to accept, avoid, or take measures to mitigate the exposure risk.
Tenants should ask their landlords for information about a Proposition 65 warning in their apartment building. A fact sheet for tenants with common scenarios that prompt landlords to provide Proposition 65 warnings can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/P65ten.html.
Yes. Proposition 65 has motivated businesses to eliminate or reduce toxic chemicals in numerous consumer products. Products that have been reformulated as a result of notices of violation or litigation include ceramic tableware, artificial turf, household faucets, children's jewelry, potato chips, candy, and vitamin supplements. Proposition 65 has also resulted in significant reductions in toxic air pollution – both outdoor (diesel school bus and grocery truck emissions) and indoor (salon worker exposures to formaldehyde, toxic solvents in nail products, and formaldehyde gas release from the building materials in portable classrooms). Proposition 65 has induced "quiet compliance" without the need for litigation, in which manufacturers voluntarily take steps to comply by providing their suppliers with specifications so that the ingredients in their products avoid or significantly limit exposure to listed chemicals. The law has also educated the general public about exposures to specific toxic chemicals in consumer products, buildings, and the environment, creating both demand and market reward for less-toxic products. Finally, Proposition 65 litigation has identified specific chemical exposure concerns and led to regulatory reforms to benefit public health at the state and national level. For example, the California Legislature adopted strict standards for lead in jewelry that were based on a Proposition 65 settlement over the failure to warn about lead in jewelry, and state and federal restrictions on lead in candy are based on the level established in a Proposition 65 case.
How do I know if I need to provide a Proposition 65 warning for a product?
Are small businesses exempt from Proposition 65?
Are out-of-state manufacturers of retail products exempt from Proposition 65?
If a product meets a federal standard for a listed chemical, do I still need to provide a warning?
If my product complies with standards in an existing consent judgment governing the same product, is it possible to "opt in" to that judgment? Will this offer protection from Proposition 65 litigation?
Am I allowed to reformulate a product rather than provide a warning?
Where can I get the Proposition 65 signs that businesses are required to post, or find out what information needs to be included?
Am I allowed to use warning language that differs from the safe harbor language? Is it possible to add an explanation to the warning?
I have just been served with a 60-day notice by a private attorney. What should I do?
What should I do if I receive a notice for something that I don't think is in violation of the law?
What are my rights with respect to paying plaintiff's attorney's fees if I settle with a private plaintiff?
What type of release can I obtain if I settle with a private plaintiff? Can I be sued again, by either a private party or a public prosecutor?
Does Proposition 65 prescribe what testing method to use?
When will the Attorney General's Office file suit based on a notice from a private party?
First, you should check to see if chemicals in the product, or created through the use of the product, are on the Proposition 65 list. The current list can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.html.
Next, you should determine whether the manufacture or use of the product is likely to expose individuals to listed chemicals. If the product causes an exposure to a listed chemical, you should determine whether OEHHA has identified a regulatory safe harbor level for the chemical. The safe harbor levels, or levels of exposure that are exempt from the warning requirement, can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/getNSRLs.html. If you can show that the exposure you cause is below the regulatory safe harbor level, you need not provide a warning.
If there is no regulatory safe harbor level for a listed chemical, a business that knowingly exposes individuals to that chemical is generally required to provide a Proposition 65 warning, unless the business shows that the exposure to a listed chemical falls below the threshold levels specified in Proposition 65 and its accompanying regulations, i.e., the "no significant risk level" and the "maximum allowable dose level." Determining the threshold levels for a listed chemical and the exposure caused by the product is complex. It is recommended that any business that uses a listed chemical in its products, but believes the level of exposure does not exceed the applicable threshold(s) consult with a scientist who has experience in risk assessment.
Yes. Businesses with 9 or fewer employees are exempt from the requirements of Proposition 65. A"'person in the course of doing business' does not include any person employing fewer than 10 employees in his or her business." (CA Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.11 (b)) Generally speaking, an employee is "a person who provides services for remuneration," including full-time employees and part-time employees. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 27, Section 25102 (h))
No. The requirement to provide a consumer warning applies regardless of whether a business is located in California or out-of-state, as long as its products cause exposures to individuals in California.
It depends. The Proposition 65 warning requirements are independent of federal chemical use or composition standards. The warning requirements are tied to exposure levels from a product rather than the amount of the chemical that it contains. A product might be in compliance with a federal composition requirement because it contains no more than a certain percentage of lead, but not in compliance with Proposition 65 because it lacks a warning that consumers who use the product will be exposed to more than 0.5 micrograms of lead per day. Regardless of whether your product meets a federal use or composition standard, you need to conduct an exposure assessment to determine whether the level of a listed chemical leads to an exposure requiring a Proposition 65 warning.
There is no inherent right to join a settlement between other parties. But a private settlement or a settlement with a public prosecutor will sometimes include an "opt-in" mechanism to allow qualifying entities to become parties to the agreement. In such cases, the settlement or another related public document will describe the requirements and process to opt in. More often, settlements do not include the option to opt in. Voluntary compliance with the terms of an existing settlement (e.g., providing specified warnings, or reformulating a product to the agreed-upon specifications) may or may not afford some protection against Proposition 65 litigation, or against penalties in the event of litigation.
Yes. Businesses often reformulate products to remove a listed chemical, or to reduce its concentration so that any exposure is below the threshold. If a business does this, it does not need to provide a warning for the reformulated product. As a result of Proposition 65 litigation, manufacturers, including the makers of Mexican candy, artificial turf, and calcium supplements, have removed a listed chemical from a product, or greatly reduced its concentration.
Government agencies do not create or provide Proposition 65 signs or labels, but they are commercially available and can sometimes be acquired from trade organizations. The form, content, and suggested language for some Proposition 65 warnings can be found here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/pdf_zip/RegsArt6.pdf. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 27, Sections 25601-25605.2)
Yes. Warning text may differ from the "safe harbor" language, as long as it clearly warns people that they are being exposed to a chemical or chemicals that cause cancer or reproductive harm. You are allowed to add language to explain the warning and inform consumers about how to lessen or avoid the exposure. However, you are not allowed to include language that contradicts or dilutes the force of the warning.
The Attorney General's Office cannot provide legal advice to private parties. A business that has been served with a 60-day notice should consider locating defense counsel to help evaluate the matter. Other prudent steps to take upon receiving a 60-day notice include: (1) promptly contact the noticing party to discuss the claim(s) of violation and obtain any testing or data the noticing party is willing to provide to evaluate whether the claim is justified (note: the plaintiff is not required to provide this information); (2) conduct laboratory product testing and/or obtain an exposure assessment to assess the validity of the plaintiff's claims; and (3) if you believe the claim may be valid, cease sale of the product, instruct retail customers to stop selling the product, recall the product, and/or provide proper warnings for the product.
You can contact the private party who sent the notice of violation or their attorney to try and ascertain their basis for sending the notice, or to supply them with information to demonstrate there was no violation. They may request information in return, which you are not required to provide, however the informal exchange may facilitate a prompt resolution of the alleged violation.
If there is an award of attorneys' fees in a Proposition 65 settlement, the trial court must determine that the award is "reasonable under California law" to approve the settlement. (CA Health & Safety Code, Section 25249.7, (f)(4)(B).) The Attorney General's settlement guidelines describe some of the factors considered in the evaluation of a fee award in private Proposition 65 settlements. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 11, Section 3201)
The "release" in a settlement agreement refers to one or more provisions that preclude certain individuals or entities from bringing another lawsuit over claims that have been released. Parties to a settlement must agree upon the scope of any release. An attorney may be able to help you determine what claims can and cannot be released.
As a rule of thumb, if a settlement is completed out of court (i.e., before a complaint has been filed and without judicial approval), the plaintiff can release claims on its own behalf, but not "in the public interest." In other words, the same plaintiff could not sue you over the same violations, but a different private plaintiff or public enforcer could sue you over those violations. If the settlement is approved by a court, then the release may preclude other private plaintiffs from bringing additional lawsuits in the public interest. The Attorney General's legal position is that a private release cannot prevent a subsequent lawsuit by the Attorney General or other public enforcer. To the extent that a settlement is approved by the court, a private plaintiff acting in the public interest can release only the violations identified in the notice(s) sent to the settling party. And, to the extent that a private plaintiff is releasing claims "in the public interest," the release language should be consistent with the following:
Plaintiff acting on its own behalf and in the public interest releases Defendant [and other specified entities] from all claims for violations of Proposition 65 up through the Effective Date based on exposure to [Covered Chemicals] from [Covered Products or Covered Facilities] as set forth in the Notice(s) of Violation. Compliance with the terms of this Consent Judgment constitutes compliance with Proposition 65 with respect to exposures to [Covered Products or Covered Facilities] as set forth in the Notice(s) of Violation.
A private plaintiff is free to release whatever claims it deems appropriate on its own behalf.
No. The determination of whether an exposure poses a significant risk or has an observable effect must be based on evidence and standards of comparable scientific validity to those that form the scientific basis for the listing of the chemical.
The Attorney General decides whether to file suit on a case-by-case basis. Among the factors that are considered: the seriousness of the violation and whether it presents a risk to public health; how widespread the violation is; and whether the case presents new issues of law and/or science that should be resolved on a statewide basis.
Why do I have to fill out the electronic reporting forms for my Proposition 65 cases?
If some or all of the documents in support of a certificate of merit were previously submitted, do I need to resubmit them?
Do public prosecutors accept electronic service of 60-day notices?
Can I see the electronic reporting forms filed with the Attorney General?
Does the Attorney General's Office report on its cases?
What are the requirements for private party settlements?
Can I enter into a private confidential settlement?
What is the Attorney General's role in reviewing settlements?
In addition to paying a penalty, is it possible for a defendant to settle a case by making a payment to be used for an environmental purpose?
Private enforcers must provide the Attorney General's Office with copies of 60-day notices and supporting documents. In 1999, the Legislature adopted SB 1269, which modified Proposition 65 to require that any person who brings a private enforcement action must notify the Attorney General when the case is filed, and of its outcome. The bill also requires the Attorney General's Office to make this information available to the public. Private enforcers must also serve copies of 60-day notices and supporting documents on the Attorney General and can do so either with hard copies or electronically, through the Attorney General's website.
No. However, you need to list the documents supporting each certificate of merit and identify the original notice that you submitted by its date, notice recipient, and AG Notice Number.
Yes. The Attorney General's website includes a list of public prosecutors that accept electronic service of 60-day notices and instructions for electronic service that can be found here: https://www.oag.ca.gov/prop65/electronic-service. The Attorney General also accepts electronic service of 60-day notices: https://oag.ca.gov/prop65/add-60-day-notice.
Yes. The reporting forms and instructions for filing are available on the Proposition 65 Home page.
Although SB 1269 only applies to private enforcers, the Attorney General's Office makes complaints and settlements available to the public upon request, and posts frequently requested items to its website.
Major requirements for private party settlements include:
The terms of any settlement must be submitted to the Attorney General's Office within a specified time period, even if the settlement is contingent on judicial approval.
If the plaintiff has filed an action in court, the parties must submit the settlement to the court for approval. The only exception is if the plaintiff voluntarily dismisses the action with no consideration (injunctive relief and/or payment) from the defendant.
In approving the settlement the court must determine that:
Any required warning complies with the law;
Any award of attorneys' fees is reasonable under California law;
Any penalty amount is reasonable.
The plaintiff must produce evidence sufficient to support the above determinations and must serve all papers on the Attorney General at least 45 days prior to the hearing for judicial approval.
The requirements for private party settlements can be found in CA Health and Safety Code, Section 25249.7(f) and CA Code of Regulations, Title 11, Section 3003. The Attorney General has set forth non-binding settlement guidelines at Title 11, Section 3200 et seq.
No. All Proposition 65 settlements must be provided to the Attorney General and are posted on the Attorney General's website.
Private parties must report Proposition 65 settlements to the Attorney General and submit supporting documents to the Attorney General at least 45 days prior to the date of the hearing of the motion for judicial approval. The Attorney General may appear and provide comment or objection without intervening in the settlement action. The parties shall notify the court that the fact that the Attorney General does not object to a settlement shall not be construed as an endorsement of or a concurrence in any settlement.
In addition, the Attorney General has set non-binding guidelines on the review of private party settlements to assist the parties in fashioning settlements to which the Attorney General is not likely to object. (CA Code of Regulations, Title 11, Sections 3200-3204).
Maybe. The Attorney General's guidelines recognize that the penalty amount may be "offset" by payments in lieu of a civil penalty, but these payments are required to meet certain criteria. In particular, funded activities must have a nexus to the basis for the litigation, and the recipient must be an accountable entity that can demonstrate how the funds will be spent. The Attorney General works to insure that money is not over-diverted from statutory penalties to payments in lieu of penalties, and to assure accountability in the use of payments in lieu of penalties.

Information Notice No. 99-20: Contingency Planning for the Year 2000 Computer Problem
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS
NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 99-20:
CONTINGENCY PLANNING FOR THE YEAR 2000 COMPUTER PROBLEM
All material and fuel cycle licensees and certificate holders.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information notice (IN) to encourage addresses to develop Year 2000 (Y2K) contingency plans. It is expected that recipients will review this information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid potential problems. However, suggestions contained in this IN are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action nor written response is required.
On June 14, 1999, NRC issued IN 99-18, "Update on NRC's Year 2000 Activities for Materials Licensees and Fuel Cycle Licensees and Certificate Holders," to licensees and certificate holders to update addressees regarding NRC's Y2K activities and provide sources of Y2K information. IN 99-18 provided a detailed description of the Y2K problem and addressees should refer to it for a listing of available information sources concerning Y2K issues.
The Y2K problem pertains to the potential inability of computers to correctly recognize dates beyond December 31, 1999. This problem results from computer hardware and/or software that uses two-digit fields to represent the year. These systems may misread the year 2000 and cause the systems to fail, generate faulty data, or act in an incorrect manner. The Y2K problem has the potential to interfere with the proper operation of any computer system, hardware that is microprocessor-based (embedded software), software, or database.
The Y2K problem is urgent because it has a fixed, non-negotiable deadline that is quickly approaching. This matter requires priority attention because of the limited time remaining to assess the magnitude of the problem, assess its associated risks, and implement programs that will achieve a satisfactory resolution of the Y2K problem.
Existing reporting requirements under 10 CFR Part 21 provide for notification to NRC of deficiencies, non-conformances, and failures, such as the Y2K problem, in safety-related systems.
NRC has placed a Y2K website on its homepage. The website contains information on NRC Y2K activities, Y2K information notices, and links to other webpages useful for helping licensees implement their Y2K readiness program.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has published IAEA-TECDOC-1087, "Potential Vulnerabilities of Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities to the Year 2000 Issue and Measures to Address Them." This document provides helpful information for fuel cycle facilities.
NRC staff has several concerns associated with the potential impact of the Y2K problem on materials licensees, primarily because of the variety and types of computer systems and software in use. Licensees need to be aware of Y2K effects on health and safety, as well as regulatory requirements such as record-keeping. Although licensees are working to remediate the Y2K problem, they should be developing Y2K contingency plans. In an effort to encourage and help licensees develop Y2K contingency plans, we are providing answers to the following frequently asked questions:
Q: What is a Y2K contingency plan?
A: Y2K contingency plan is a set of procedures to deal with difficulties that might be caused directly or indirectly by a Y2K problem, or difficulties in which the severity of the problem is exacerbated by a Y2K problem. Brand new contingency plans do not have to developed for Y2K. Existing emergency procedures or disaster recovery plans can be adjusted for Y2K.
Q: Why should I worry about Y2K contingency planning?
A: Contingency planning is important for continued protection of workers, the public, and the environment, as well as to maintain business continuity. Even licensees that have remediated their systems for Y2K should consider developing Y2K contingency plans. The most extensive Y2K remediation program may not have found all Y2K problems. Y2K contingency plans will allow licensees to cope with internal Y2K problems as well as Y2K problems of business partners and external influences such as electric power, telecommunications, or water.
Q: What do I need to consider?
A: Y2K could affect licensees' internal systems such as hardware, software, embedded systems, and networks. Y2K could also affect external systems including electric power, telecommunications, and suppliers (national and international). Y2K contingency plans should consider internal risks, external risks, and possible interaction between the two.
Q: What is involved in Y2K contingency planning?
A: There are four basic phases in contingency planning: initiation, impact analysis, contingency planning, and testing.
In the initiation phase, licensees should develop a master schedule, for development of the plan, and include milestones to keep contingency planning on track. Existing disaster recovery plans or emergency procedures should be reviewed for applicability to internal and external Y2K risks. In the impact analysis phase, the Y2K internal and external risks and the effect of these risks on mission-critical and safety systems should be identified. Also, licensees should assess the potential impact of mission-critical and safety system failures on workers, the public, the environment, and business continuity.
In the contingency planning phase, the contingency plan is developed and documented. As part of this phase, the licensee determines how and when the plan will be implemented. Finally, individuals who will implement the contingency plan and fix Y2K problems as they occur should be identified.
In the testing phase, the team ensures that the contingency plan will provide adequate protection to workers, the public, and the environment, as well as ensure business continuity. Tests of the contingency plan are developed and conducted. Finally, disaster recovery plans and procedures should be updated to include the Y2K contingency plan
Q. Where can I receive help?
A. The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) has published a contingency planning guide, "Year 2000 Computing Crisis: Business Continuity and Contingency Planning," dated August 1998. The guide describes four phases of Y2K business contingency planning structure: initiation, business impact analysis, contingency planning, and testing.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, has developed a contingency planning document, "Patient-Focused Y2K Contingency Planning Guidebook."
In an effort to provide the public with Y2K information, the President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion website has information regarding Y2K and the Federal Government's efforts to prepare its computer systems, links to information on Y2K compliance for critical sectors of the economy, and other Y2K resources. In addition, the Council has established a Y2K consumer information line at 1-888-USA-4-Y2K which provides free Y2K information. The information at this website or through the information line may useful in determining external Y2K risks and developing contingency plans.

Hey alls. So, I've been on a sort of natural beauty kick lately, trying to buy better beauty products where I can. This is an expensive quest of trial and error. Do not try this at home. Let me repeat, do not try this at home. My skin has also been like, "bish, stop changing our routine all the time. We are breaking out in defiance." My skin RARELY breaks out so this has been another rude side effect. Yet, I persist.
Here are my favorite finds of late, some natural, some naw.
First, up Sephora face masks in these wine-in-a-box type bags. Now, the mask is as nice as the next one, but what's so great is the packaging. You can use as much as little as you like. Have you ever bought a face mask and there is SO much in there. There's enough product for a face and a half or a giant's face. I don't know, but you can't exactly save it for next week, so you waste it or layer it on so thick that it doesn't dry well or ends up in your hair and ish. NOT ANYMORE.
Next up is a natural one. Fresh's eye cream, Creme Acienne. I am OBSESSED with this stuff. It is certainly a splurge item, but worth every penny in my opinion. This is my first eye cream I'm fallen for so hard. It's thick and creamy like butter. But warm the tiniest bit up between your fingers and tap it into your poor, tired eyes and wake up feeling fresh AF. I've been wearing Burt's Bees eye cream during the day and that feels like a total waste of money in comparison. It didn't doing any type of magic on my eyes. Next, please!
This single, tiny container has made me explore other products in the Fresh product line, but nothing compares to this. There is also a Creme Acienne moisturizer that I may have a stab at this winter when ish dries the f*ck out.
The next item that has change my life and the only other member of my nighttime routine, is Vitner's Daughter serum. Again, Holy Ish, this is unreal. Another splurge, but it will solve all problems in your life. Breakouts? Check! Dry skin, yup! Brighter skin in the am, ugh huh! Boy problems? Whatever, don't waste this on them! The really great news is that this comes in a smaller sample size so you can travel with it or hang out with it for a little bit before committing to a bigger bottle.
I have found myself jade rolling this into my skin at night and it seeps into my soul even better that way. Life hack.
Another fun summer find is Tom Ford's mini lipsticks. These are about an inch and a half tall, perfect for clutches or small summer bags. The colors are vibrant, but the finish is glossy and bright. Thus, it looks like a tube of aggressive red lipstick, but the finish is more, I just ate a cherry popsicle. A really moisturizing one.
Stay tuned for more great finds as fall and winter rear their betchy heads!

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X
Martin Luther King Junior and Malcolm X were key figures who went down in history of the United States due to their unprecedented efforts in fighting for civil rights and elimination of racism in America. Each of them had a different method and view of struggling against the social injustices against the blacks. Martin Luther King was a Christian, while Malcolm X was a Muslim, that is why their views were based on their religious backgrounds, and the way they had been brought up by their parents.
Martin Luther King originated from a bourgeois class family, thus he was an educated person, while Malcolm X had been brought up from a humble background, which made him drop out of school and engage in drugs. Martin Luther King Jr. had a peaceful approach towards fighting against social injustices as he believed that they could be eradicated through a dialogue. On the contrary, Malcolm X had a different view, which could be traced back to his upbringing.
He acquired a bitter attitude towards the whites who he believed were the source of his problems. While Martin Luther King insisted on nonviolent resistance or integrationist philosophy, Malcolm X had a strong believe in nationalist and separatist doctrines. Their philosophies resulted in forming contrasting views in the people's minds in terms of sensibility. Martin Luther King's philosophy of nonviolence appealed to Americans of the 1960's the most.
Martin Luther King's philosophy of handling the social injustices was aimed at bringing together blacks and whites as a union. This doctrine had six underlying principles, which guided it. One of them stated that nonviolent protestors should not discredit the opponents but instead look for their understanding and friendship.
He had a strong believe that the only way to overcome a devil was by befriending him. Fighting, according to his view, could not solve the problem but would intensify hatred between the two parties. Violence might murder the murderer, but it would not murder the murder itself; it could kill the liar, but it would not eliminate lie, and violence may murder the dishonest person, but not dishonesty (King, "I Have a Dream Speech").
Violence will never be a way out as it will only intensify the problem. Malcolm X believed in the doctrine of separation as a solution to social injustices. In his speech, he said that by working separately, the sincere white people and sincere black people would actually be working together. He proclaimed, "Let the sincere whites go and teach nonviolence to white people" (Malcolm X "The Homecoming Rally of the OAAU").
He further put more emphasis on the doctrine of separation by saying that when money was taken out of the neighborhood in which one lived, the neighborhood in which a person invested his/her money became wealthier and wealthier (Malcolm X "The Homecoming Rally of the OAAU").
Therefore, in order for the blacks to control their economy, money should be spent within the neighborhood. Furthermore, according to Malcolm X, dialogue was not the solution to the injustices because the enemy would not hear what you were saying.
He said that, 'You know you can't communicate if one man is speaking French and the other is speaking German, his language is brutality' (Malcolm X "The Homecoming Rally of the OAAU"). He even advocated for different institutions for the Afro-Americans (Malcolm X "The Homecoming Rally of the OAAU"). He saw the only way to know the enemy's language was by studying his history.
Philosophy of nonviolence advocated by Martin Luther King Junior relied on another principle stating that nonviolent resistance was disposition to undertake suffering without revenging. He believed that one day he would see blacks and whites together. "Let us march on segregated schools until every vestige of segregation and inferior education becomes a thing of the past and Negroes and whites study side by side in the socially healing of the classroom" (King, "Our God is Marching On").
In his speech "I Have a Dream" he said that, "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character' (King). He also had a strong faith in achievement of freedom without violence.
Although Malcolm X did not favor violence, he had a strong objection on the subject of nonviolence philosophy on the blacks. In his "Interview with Young Socialist Alliance Leaders", he said that, "nonviolence is only preached to black Americans and I don't go along with anyone who wants to teach our people nonviolence until someone at the same time is teaching our enemy to be nonviolent" (Malcolm). According to him, this could only work if it was done by both parties.
The philosophy of nonviolence by Martin Luther King Junior was the most sensible for this case. His method of addressing social problems was not biased. He looked at both sides equally, and he knew that even if they resorted to violence, the blacks would be outnumbered by the whites. "
The Negro would face the same unchanged conditions, the same squalor and deprivation – the only difference being that bitterness would be more intense" (King "Our God is Marching On"). In comparison to Malcolm's separatist philosophy, the King's one would be most effective because it advocated for bringing the warring parties together.
Malcolm X presented his arguments in favor of the Negros (Malcolm X "Twenty Million Black People in Political, Economic and Mental Prison"). As a result, the gap between them became even wider. Martin Luther King produced an impression that he was peaceful and idealistic while most of his speeches encouraged the spirit of togetherness between blacks and whites.

Ten of the 11 pregnant nurses ham it up before or after their shifts in the Family Birth Center at Beaumont Hospital, Troy.

Eleven pregnant nurses deliver care in labor and delivery unit in Troy
By: Terry Oparka | Troy Times | Published January 29, 2019
TROY — Eleven nurses helping mothers, brand-new babies and families in the Family Birth Center at Beaumont Hospital, Troy, are in the family way themselves.
Delivery dates begin in February and continue through Aug. 1. Hometowns range from Ferndale to North Branch.
Jennifer Buccellato, the administrative nurse manager for the Family Birth Center, said that in October she had "a little bit of anxiety" as 11 nurses advised her of their pregnancies. She started a spreadsheet to work through the staffing.
"There's no issue," she said of keeping the staff levels up.
For three of the nurses, this is their first baby. Two nurses have scheduled their C-sections on the same day. One is expecting twins.
Buccellato said she guessed it was difficult for the pregnant nurses to keep it a secret at first, before they disclosed their pregnancies.
"We had three baby showers within one week," she laughed. "It's a lot of fun."
"It was harder at first, having nausea," said nurse Katie Hoenle, of Macomb Township. Her due date is April 17. She and her husband, Patrick, have a son, Luke, age 2.
Hoenle works midnights. She's worked on the labor and delivery floor for eight years.
"We helped each other out and to cover our patients and made sure we all took care of each other," Hoenle said.
It's been a little bit easier for her now that the morning sickness has passed. Her morning sickness was actually very early morning sickness and usually kicked in during her shift at around 4 a.m. "Your body has been up too long, and it's confused (by the time)."
She said the patients have been supportive of their pregnant nurses. "It's funny how much they empathize with you when they find out you're in the same situation.
"The hardest part now is the fatigue and exhaustion," Hoenle said. "Coffee is your best friend. I only drink it at work. We ask each other, 'Do you need coffee? I'm going,'" she laughed.
"It's a really good group of ladies," she added. "It's cool to share the bond we have and see the differences how everybody reacts and feels."

A number of interviews were conducted for the project on Michael Klinger. In the majority of cases they exist both as an audio file and as a transcript - in the case of Linda Hayden this is an edited transcript and there is no transcript for the interview with John Hamilton. The interviews with Mike Hodges, Moshe Mizrahi and Michal Bat-Adam are in written version only as these were conducted by e-mail.
With the exception of the first interview with Mike Hodges, conducted by Tony Klinger, all the interview were conducted by Andrew Spicer and Anthony McKenna.
We intend to interview Tony Klinger again on 12 December 2011 and this will be added to the archive as an audio file and transcript in the new year.
This interview with Mike Hodges was by Tony Klinger based on questions suggested by Andrew Spicer. Spicer then e-mailed Hodges with some supplementary questions.
Mike Hodges is the director of numerous highly regarded television programmes and feature films. He adapted and directed Get Carter (1971) and wrote and directed Pulp (1972) for Klinger.
These two interviews were conducted by email. Moshé Mizrahi the director of Rachel's Man and his partner Michal Bat-Adam responded to questions they were sent by the interviewer, Dr Andrew Spicer.
Moshé Mizrahi was the most famous of the new Israeli directors emerging at the end of the 1960s. He was the director of Rachel's Man (1975), a Biblical love story produced by Klinger.
Michal Bat-Adam starred in numerous films by Mizrahi and went on to become Israel's first female film director. She played Rachel in Rachel's Man.
Tony Klinger is the son of Michael Klinger and worked closely with his father from the early 1970s onwards. Tony is also a successful producer, director and screenwriter in his own right.
Gerry Arbeid has been a producer, production manager, assistant director and editor in both the British and Canadian film industries. He was a close friend of Michael Klinger and worked with him during the 1960s.
John Hamilton is the author of Beast in the Cellar: The Exploitation Film Career of Tony Tenser (FAB Press, 2005). Tony Tenser was Klinger's partner at Compton Films from 1960-1966.
Linda Hayden starred in Klinger's production of Baby Love (1968) when she was only 15. She starred in two further films for Klinger: Barcelona Kill (1971) and Something to Hide (1972) and appeared in some of the 'Confessions' films.
Tony Williams worked for the Rank Organisation in the 1970s, including acting as Executive in Charge of Production for Rank's in-house film production unit, Rank Film Productions (RFP).

Watch The Prayer That Made Democrats & Muslims Lose Their Minds (Video)
Tim Brown March 30, 2019
Islamic totalitarianism reared its ugly head this past week as an opening prayer of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives cause Democrats and Muslims, particularly the first Muslim woman to be sworn in to be offended and act completely inappropriately.
Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, D-Philadelphia, the first Muslim woman member of the House was to be sworn in on the same day the prayer occurred.
Of course, freshman Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, R-Clinton County, offered the opening prayer that day. Here it is.
There is nothing controversial about the prayer for any red-blooded American. It is documented history that America is a Christian nation, though she has departed from her God.
One simple look to the first governing document establishing the people here was the Mayflower Compact and it was just as explicit as Ms. Borowicz's prayer.
IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, &c. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts of Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the Presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid: And by Virtue hereof do enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions, and Officers, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general Good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due Submission and Obedience. IN WITNESS whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape-Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, Anno Domini; 1620.
Notice, it was the advancement of the Christian Faith, whose head and king is Jesus the Christ. We were not established as a Muslim nation, but a Christian one. The only people who are offended by a prayer mentioning Jesus are antichrists, and that's the only people who were offended.
"Jesus, you are our only hope," Borowicz said, before going on to pray for the House Republican leaders, Gov. Tom Wolf, and President Trump.
She invoked the name of Jesus some 13 times during the prayer, exalting Him as "the King of Kings; the Lord of lords; the great I Am; the One who's coming back again; the One who came, died and rose again on the third day."
She also prayed for forgiveness for the nation's sins and ended her prayer declaring, "At the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus, that you are Lord."
Of course, she took a position about modern-day Israel, which is unbiblical. Nevertheless, her prayer caused quite a controversy, something that would never have been a controversy just 20 years ago.
Johnson-Harrell, as well as other Democrats, denounced the prayer.
"I knew I was going to receive some discrimination because of my religion," Johnson-Harrell said, according to WHYY radio in Philadelphia. "Because I'm a hijabi woman. And I am the first … but I did not think it would come on the actual day of my swearing-in."
Johnson-Harrell said the prayer was "highly offensive to me, my guests, and other members of the House."
"It blatantly represented the Islamophobia that exists among some leaders — leaders that are supposed to represent the people," Johnson-Harrell said in a statement. "I came to the Capitol to help build bipartisanship and collaborations regardless of race or religion to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the Commonwealth."
Democratic House Minority Whip Jordan Harris claimed that the prayer was weaponized to "intimidate, demean and degrade."
No, ma'am, that's what Islam and totalitarians do and her comments are evidence of that.
"Let me be clear," Harris said in a statement. "I am a Christian. I spend my Sunday mornings in church worshiping and being thankful for all that I have. But in no way does that mean I would flaunt my religion at those who worship differently than I do. There is no room in our Capitol building for actions such as this, and it's incredibly disappointing that today's opening prayer was so divisive."
There's her problem. She leaves her "religion" at the door of the church. She doesn't actually practice any of it and you watch, this professed Christian, given enough time, will convert to antichrist Islam. She's already openly denying Christ by blasting the prayer mentioning His name.
Additionally, WND reported:
The Daily Caller noted an Islamic prayer called Takbir was recited before the legislature during Johnson-Harrell's swearing-in.
The Islamic prayer ended, however, before its last line, which denounces the central Christian doctrine that Jesus is the Son of God.
House Minority Leader Frank Dermody condemned Borowicz's prayer, PennLive.com reported.
"It was not meant to bring us together. It was not meant to inspire us. It was beneath the dignity of the House," he said to the applause of members.
But the state's legislature applauded Muslim Democratic Pennsylvania State Rep. Jason Dawkins' invocation Tuesday in which he recited from the Quran.
The reality is that if the Church would repent and start getting its doctrine and practice right, it would once again influence the politics of our land properly. Until God grants such repentance, we can expect to see the enemies of Christ and His Church rise to power to be used in judgment by God against His people (Deuteronomy 28).

Armenia & KarabakhArts & CultureInternationalArmenian Historybook reviewBooksHistory
Tsagikyan's Unsung Heroes
Aram Arkun
Albert Tsagikyan has published a 43-page booklet titled Unsung Heroes: Our Forgotten Heroes, Artashes Galust Gevorkian, Torgom Galust Gevorgian, Onik Yanikian, Gurgen Yanikian, Asatur Melik Hasan-Jalalian. This is not an academic study but a work prepared with passion from a unique personal point of view. Tsagikyan is able to provide some insights concerning the assassination of Ahmed Cemal Pasha in 1922 via his maternal grandmother's older sister, Arpenik Rostomian (born Melik Hasan-Jalalian), whose husband Artashes Galust Gevorgian was one of the leaders, as well as on the earlier assassination of a Tsarist governor. These events are linked together not only through history but through family connections for Tsagikyan, along with the more recent act of Gourgen Yanikian, which helped lead to the creation of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA).
Artashes and his younger brother, Torgom, held Cemal Pasha responsible for the destruction of their native village of Khodorchur. They formed a group of guerrilla fighters and engaged in partisan tactics behind the Ottoman lines, and later joined General Andranik Ozanian's irregular forces. After Andranik withdrew from Armenia, Artashes, his brother and others returned to Tbilisi but kept searching for Cemal and worked with the Nemesis group of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, which located Cemal in 1922. Artashes and his friend Petros Ter Poghosian planned the assassination and carried it out on July 25 of that year.
Earlier, the author's great-grandfather's brother, Asatur Hasan-Jalalian, he claimed, assassinated a Tsarist governor, Prince Grigory Golitsyan, in 1903 in response to the latter's anti-Armenian policies and the confiscation of properties of the Armenian Church. He was a priest in a small church who stabbed Prince Golitsyn in the neck after a failed assassination attempt by the Hnchakian Party organized by Paramaz (Madteos Sarkisian) earlier the same year. Golitsyan died later in a hospital from his wound. This attempt as far as I know has not been attested to elsewhere. The extant literature only mentions the Hnchagian Party's attempt organized by Paramaz in October 1903, which left Golitsyn wounded but able to recover.
Albert Tsagikyan
Gourgen Yanikian's father was the brother of Khodorchur village chief Vartan. Vartan's son, Onik Yanikian, married the author's grandmother's oldest sister. Gourgen, born in Karin (Erzerum), saw his older brother murdered in front of him by Ottoman soldiers. His family escaped to the Ukraine and later to Russia. During World War I he volunteered in General Drastamat Kanayan's battalion in the Russian Tsarist army. He was wounded but survived to return to Russia and graduate university as an architect. After working in Iran as a sculptor for some time, moved to the United States. During a visit in 1973 to Armenia he met with some relatives and told them to look for news about him over the next three months. In fact, he did shoot and kill a Turkish diplomat, and was imprisoned, but his act inspired the founding of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia, with the goal of compelling the Turkish government to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, pay reparations and cede territory to Armenia.
This book is important not only for passing down some orally preserved information about 20th century Armenian history, which will no doubt be helpful for historians, but also for providing information on the fate of the Khodorchur Armenians who had left their homeland and anecdotes about the Stalinian oppressions in Armenia. Writer Aksel Bakunts makes a brief appearance, as he supported the creation of a new Khodorchur community in the USSR and wrote a novel about the Khodorchur Armenians.
There are a number of typesetting and typographical errors (e.g. Kavayan for Kanayan, Aretashes, Melick, Hammid, etc.).
The author at the end of this book makes clear his goal: "I hope this book will help people understand how important it is to fight for their own rights, no matter what; it should become an awakening call for humanity against any type of genocide in any corner of the world." In addition, aside from being a call for young Armenians to continue their predecessors' struggle for justice for the Armenian Genocide, Tsagikyan hopes that the booklet will "help reconnect the American descendants of the Yanikian family to their Armenian relatives," and perhaps find some long-lost relatives in Europe.

S&Ds push for transparency and sustainability chapter in trade deals with Australia and New Zealand
S&D - Socialists & Democrats in the European Parliament
Strasbourg, 26 October 2017
The European Parliament will vote today on recommendations for the trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand. The Socialists and Democrats are especially pushing for transparent negotiations and enforceable environmental and labor standards.
Karoline Graswander-Hainz, MEP and S&D spokesperson for trade relations with Australia and New Zealand, said:
"We say no to trade deals negotiated in backrooms. The public has a right to be fully informed. We Socialists and Democrats have been pushing for transparency in trade deal negotiations for a long time. It was a great victory for our group when the Commission published the draft negotiating mandates on both agreements. We now call on member states to follow the Commission's good example and to also publish their negotiating mandates once adopted.
"We want to see robust enforceable sustainability chapters with the possibility of sanctions included in the trade deals. Social partners and civil society should be empowered to participate in any dispute settlement mechanisms. Whenever there are violations of labor law and environmental standards, there must be consequences.
"Any trade deal with New Zealand and Australia must be ambitious, modern and progressive."
Alessia Mosca, MEP and S&D spokesperson on trade, added:
"We support the opening of negotiations with Australia and New Zealand not only because this will benefit the European economy, but also because we are convinced that with two like-minded partners we can set golden rules to uphold the respect of our standards globally.
"Australia, New Zealand and the EU have a common history. Both countries have similar levels of consumer and worker protection to us. A trade deal will strengthen our common approach and values.
"The S&Ds have always supported the European Union being a global actor. Now that the current US administration has left a vacuum, the trade deals with Australia and New Zealand would strengthen the position of the EU as a leading actor in the very dynamic Pacific region."
Note to the editor:
Investment, including investment protection, will not form part of a future trade agreement; a position supported by the European Parliament. There could be a potential future agreement on investment protection, which would be of mixed national and EU competence and would thus require a separate authorisation for the negotiations.

Nintendo Direct 2022: The first big Switch reveal dates are coming
Nintendo Direct 2022 news (Image: NINTENDO)
Nintendo Directs are important events for Switch gamers as they provide the best source of news about what's coming next to the handheld console.
So finding out when the next live stream will be hosted is a big deal for those hoping to find out this year's big plans.
Highlights include a new Mario Kart game and footage from Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, which is expected to release sometime in 2022.
And the good news is that the first reveal of 2022 could be in a few weeks for those eager to learn more about the next Nintendo Switch games.
A well-known Nintendo insider has shared information suggesting that the first Nintendo Direct of 2022 will take place before February 17, and that something could even drop later this month.
However, Samus Hunters on Twitter also points out that there is still a lot of news to share before we get the full picture.
The full Samus Hunter leak reads: "I know there are a lot of people eager to know when the next Nintendo Direct is scheduled. Well, I'm hearing some announced announcements and a game launch window now that I'm confident I can say it should arrive right before last February.
"In the coming days I will go into more detail to explain some announcements and motivations, but I do not rule out the possibility that it could also arrive in January.
"There are announcements that are usually scheduled two months before launch, which fall at the end of March.
"I see several articles going around about lineups for Nintendo this year, there are games that I don't see mentioned or titles that come out later. It has now been confirmed by the news outlet that there will be Legends previews this week, as I mentioned yesterday.
As mentioned above, one of the biggest games arriving on Nintendo Switch this year is Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, which could boost Switch sales even further.
As the name suggests, the next Link adventure will be a direct sequel to the best-selling hit that helped cement the Switch's place in the current gaming landscape.
Nintendo has left fans guessing about the upcoming sequel and revealed very little about how the game will differ from the original Breath of the Wild.
At the time of writing, fans don't even know the game's official title, with the Nintendo website listing it as "The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".
This could be one of the first things we learn about the new Zelda game, though it's unclear if Nintendo will wait until closer to the release date to share the big details.

The Inner Game of Tennis shows us how letting go of ego and trusting your innate abilities is key to your improvement and success. Stop telling yourself what to do! Just let yourself behave how it thinks it should. Observe yourself nonjudgmentally. In order to improve, one must be able to observe how they are currently functioning. It's okay to not be perfect (no one it) or make a mistake (everyone does).. but you must be able to observe and evaluate your own imperfections and mistakes to change them.
Reflections in the Mental Side of Tennis: People play best when in the zone, not affected by over thinking or even thinking at all. Mastering the art of effortless concentration is invaluable in whatever you set your mind to.
Quieting Self 1: non-judgemental awareness. The first step is to see things as they are, not judged as good or bad. Acknowledgment of and respect for one's capabilities Support trust and self 2. Self 1's judgments, on the other hand, attempt to manipulate and undermine that trust.
Games People Play on the Court: GOOD-O: perfect-o how good can I get? Compete-o To Win against others. Image-o so I look good? FRIENDS-O: status-o where and who you play with us important. Togetherness-o to make/have friends. Husband-o/wife-o to be with significant other. HEALTH-O/FUN-O: health-o to be healthy. Fun-o to only have fun. learn-o to learn.
The Meaning Of Competition: competition can drive people to do great things but also pit people against each other. One wins and one HAS to lose. Competition is more overcoming the obstacles an opponent throws at you to prove your true potential. Your job is to bring the best out in them too.
The Inner Game Off The Court: the Inner Game can help in every part of life. Trust yourself and tap into your bodies innate ability to learn and perform.

At Divvy, we understand that buying a home is one of the most exciting and important steps you will take in your life. That is why seeking out a well-trained and respected real estate agent is so important! An agent will be your guide, confidant and chief advisor throughout the home-buying process. From finding the right home, to ensuring the home quality, to negotiating with the seller, your real estate agent will quickly prove to be an invaluable resource on your home-buying journey.
Divvy has worked with an extensive roster of amazing agents and have been able to distill the top 6 qualities to look for in the perfect real estate agent.
The process of purchasing real estate requires an unbelievable amount of moving parts. If any one part goes wrong, it could lead to losing the deal and ultimately saying goodbye to your dream home.
When finding your agent, look for someone with a keen eye for detail. From the initial paperwork to the final closing, you want someone meticulously working through all of the specifications and avoiding careless errors. Find a real estate agent with excellent organization skills and strong attention to detail and leave those worries to them.
Real estate moves fast! You need a real estate agent with the gumption and the drive to get the work done efficiently. A good real estate agent ensures that all parties have every document in hand ahead of time, without having to be asked for it. They know that back and forth only slows deals down, and therefore they ensure that all their ducks are in a row before beginning the process. They follow up; when they go too long without an answer on a query, they offer professional and courteous reminders. They are masters of communication, and they understand that a fast answer will always keep the process moving and ultimately serve your interests best.
Your real estate agent will also serve as an advisor as you look into the various financing options. You, therefore, want a real estate agent who comes with a comprehensive understanding of traditional mortgages and non-traditional forms of financing, such as Divvy. You also want a real estate agent who can navigate the qualification process so you can apply for and receive the best possible loan for your specific circumstances.
A qualified real estate understands how to determine and assess quality during the home visitation process. This foresight can preemptively knock out large issues early on and ultimately save you serious time, money and frustration.
A qualified real estate agent should also possess a strong understanding of the your area's market as a whole. They understand the value of individual properties in relation to other neighborhoods and can, therefore, help you make the best offer with your region's market in mind.
Let's face it – the real estate industry is all about hustle. A strong real estate agent has the energy and the enthusiasm to get things done! Deals don't just get done on their own in this business. Your real estate agent is a spark lighting the fire to motivate and move processes along and ultimately, get you a home!
All that hustle, however, must be paired with a strong sense of integrity and honesty. Your real estate agent should always have your interests at heart. Integrity also means telling their clients the hard truth. Often, these may be truths that you will not want to hear, but a good real estate knows that brutal honesty is sometimes what it takes to see your dream realized. Remember, they are representing YOU and you alone.
By keeping an eye out for these six qualities, we know that you will find a real estate agent perfectly equipped to help you find your forever home!

American Zombie: The Wisner Trust - How deep do the conflicts run?
The Wisner Trust - How deep do the conflicts run?
If you've followed the Wisner story here on AZ, you know that some members of the Plaintiff Steering Committee for the BP settlement also serve as a team of joint venture (JV) attorneys for the City of New Orleans and The Wisner Trust Advisory Committee in their litigation against BP for economic and environmental damages sustained by the 2010 oil spill.
The JV attorneys that are also on the PSC are Stephen Herman, Calvin Fayard Jr., Walt Leger and James Roy. A fifth attorney, Fred Herman, is also a member of the JV group representing CNO and Wisner but he is not on the PSC.
These JV attorneys were initially hired by Mayor Landrieu to represent the City's interests in their claims against BP. They subsequently took over The Wisner Trust Advisory Committee's case through what amounted to a hostile takeover of the Committee's board members thanks to Mayor Landrieu's back room maneuvers. The Trust was initially being represented by the environmental law firm Waltzer and Wiygul but Landrieu claimed they should be replaced because they had a conflict of interest due to a lawsuit they had pending against the City regarding the Old Gentilly Landfill.
The Wisner heirs, wanting to remain with Waltzer and Wiygul, filed a complaint stating that the JV attorneys were themselves conflicted due to their role as the City's attorneys and even their role as PSC attorneys.
"The mere fact that the city and the donation may have different types of claims does not create an actual conflict. Consequently, the court will grant the motion to substitute counsel. If at some future time an actual conflict arises, the court can address the matter at that time."
Perhaps that time is upon us regarding JV firm Herman and Herman.
Turns out senior partner, Russ Herman, has a pending lawsuit against the City of New Orleans over the proposed Tracage residential development in the Warehouse District. Herman first filed a complaint with the City back in November of 2013 objecting to the height of the building among other grievances.
Since then he's filed a lawsuit against the City of New Orleans, his own client, (as well as the Tracage developers) in an attempt to block the building's construction. The suit is Herman v. City of New Orleans and the docket # in Orleans Parish Civil District Court is 2014-896.
This is the exact reason the Mayor used to justify the removal of Waltzer and Wiygul as the Trust's attorneys against BP. I would expect the Mayor is going to remove Herman and Herman as the City's counsel and Wisner's council any day now? I ain't holding my breath.
As luck would have it, City Council moved to waive the conflict back in April of this year. Jump to about 02:10:18 in the video.
That's convenient but what say Judge Barbier?
It's become brazenly clear in the past few months that the conflicts of interest with these guys are numerous and detrimental to both the City and the Wisner Trust. It's also become brazenly clear they are not environmental lawyers and were not properly vetted to handle the Wisner case which at its core is an environmental lawsuit.
In a recent memo regarding complaints against BP for abandoning the clean up on Wisner Beach, BP seems to be keenly aware to the bogus claim the JV attorney's filed on behalf of the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office for damages incurred to Wisner property from the oil spill. As I pointed out in this post, OPSO has no interest in Wisner land and could not have incurred any economic loss in respect to Wisner.
BP recently referred to the claims mentioned in that post on page 5 of this legal filing.
Let us also consider that one of these JV firms serving on the PSC turns out to be the firm mentioned on page 60 of the first Freeh report....the firm that allegedly filed fraudulent seafood claims with the DHECC. If that surfaces, does it become ammunition for BP and how would it affect the City and Wisner's claims against them?
Take it one step further and consider if these conflicts are possibly being used by BP to squeeze the JV attorneys on the City's case, Wisner's case or even in their role as PSC attorneys.
I don't have a law degree but I understand there's a damn good reason why potential conflicts of interest in litigation should be taken with the utmost scrutiny. The conflicts that exist here could have a staggering monetary effect on both the BP settlement class the PSC/JV attorneys represent as well as the City and Wisner's litigation.
As I understand it, W&W just sued the city on behalf of a client. The Herman conflict is much more direct.
Oh..wow! That's a damn good point.
"As luck would have it, City Council moved to waive the conflict back in April of this year. Jump to about 02:10:18 in the video."
Admittedly, the audio portion of the recording is not very loud on my computer, but, I thought I heard a motion made by Councilman Gray to "reserve the city's right to object" to the conflict created by the Russ Herman personal suit against the City. Do you interpret "reserve the city's right" to mean they waived the conflict?
I wonder how much money and other resources Herman's suit has already cost the City in attorney time, paraprofessional time, staff time, experts, possibly outside counsel, etc. Not to mention the loss of income to local workers and the loss of sales tax revenue associated with stopping a sorely-needed construction project.
I got a better sound reproduction and the motion by Councilman Gray was "the City Council asserts its right to object to a conflict of interest in the case Herman v. City of New Orleans, Civil District Court No. 2014-896." He goes on to explain the purpose of the motion was to assert the Council's right to object to an attorney who represents the City and Council also representing an opponent to the City and the Council.
Although they may have missed the point made above by Anonymous, it's still a great motion by Councilman Gray and adopted by the Council.
I'm trying to find out if the CC reserved the right to object.
