A Sudden Awakening: A Cautionary Tale for Today’s Youth!

admin

It was a hot and humid night on July 11, 2002. My friend Craig Boogie was driving me through Manhattan, New York City, in my white Mercedes Benz CL600 two-door, when we pulled up outside on a busy night. club.

“Jamila, come with me for a moment.” Craig said jealously as he jumped out of the car and walked to the passenger door, waving me out.

“No Craig! I’m not going to any clubs tonight.” I answered firmly, leaning back in my seat and covering my lean, toned face with my big black designer glasses.

Craig proceeded to beg me to come in, but I waved him off, rolled up the window, and turned up the volume on the radio. Seeing that it was a lost cause, Craig entered the club without me. I assumed he was just going to make a quick stop, but several minutes passed and Craig still hadn’t returned. I called his phone several times, no answer.

Shaken, I got out of the car, closed the doors and angrily proceeded to make my way to the packed nightclub. As I entered the building, I heard loud familiar voices yell, “SURPRISE, happy birthday!”
I was greeted with hugs and kisses from my friends, who were mostly celebrities and music industry executives. I felt honored and distinguished because everyone treated me like a queen that night. He was 25 years old and a billionaire. I had achieved what I perceived to be true success. I went from being a small time girl from the suburbs of Jamaica Queens, New York, to being a highly sought after and respected business woman. He lived in a prestigious gated community in northern New Jersey. She had a lavish collection of luxury cars and enough diamond jewelry and fur coats to fill a store. In my mind I was prepared for life. Unfortunately, my success was short-lived.

On July 16, 2008, just six years later, I stood before Judge Jose Linares in Newark Federal District Court in New Jersey waiting to be sentenced on bank fraud charges. My past had suddenly caught up with me. What I perceived as a common business shortcut ruined my life and destroyed my business.

My heart began to race as I waited for the judge to impose his sentence on me. It had been 5 long years since my federal investigation began. He anxiously wanted to end the 5 year nightmare he had encountered. In a few minutes this long saga will be over, I thought as I quietly recited Psalm 23.

“I hereby sentence you to 151 months in federal prison and 5 years probation.” Judge Linares, a plump, middle-aged Cuban-American (who could pass for White) testified as he pounded his wooden gavel.

Inside I instantly went numb. I tried to put it together to figure out how many years equaled 151 months. “Twelve and a half years, oh, that’s crazy!” I said as the bailiff came over to stop me.

I was given a few minutes to remove my 4 carat diamond ring, diamond tennis bracelet and matching chain, and diamond bezel watch. I packed my expensive jewelry into my oversized Louis Vuitton bag, along with the keys to the new Escalade I had recently purchased. I had driven to court myself, definitely not expecting to be sent to federal prison. As I handed over my belongings to my attorney, along with the valet ticket for my car that was parked in the municipal courthouse lot, his face turned beet red. It was clear that he too was caught off guard and couldn’t believe the judge had sentenced me to over a decade behind bars.

In a matter of moments I made a huge transformation. I was forced to remove my designer clothes and shoes, and was given a khaki prison jumpsuit and worn blue sneakers to change into. This can’t be like this, I thought to myself. In the blink of an eye, I went from being a free woman to federal prisoner #59253-053. I was indeed living my worst nightmare!

Stripped of all the worldly accoutrements I used to hide my insecurities, I looked at myself in the small rusty mirror in my prison cell. Instantly, I hated the reflection of the image I saw. Packed with pounds of guilt and shame, I was overwhelmed and disheartened. When the prison gates closed behind me, I felt like my life was over!

Day after day, I wallowed in my negative thoughts, thinking about my funeral arrangements in my mind. Confined to a 5 1/2 x 9 prison cell, I had no one to lean on or turn to. Was caught! Sobbing from anxiety and pain, my life flashed before my eyes. I thought of all the things I’d done and all the people I’d tried my best to please. Even more disappointing, I was abandoned by those who I thought were really my friends. The sharp pain of hurt and disappointment kept repeating itself, forcing me to realize how unfounded the superficial things I pursued so passionately were.

Desperate for despair, I reached for the Bible given to me by a woman in the next cell. For countless hours I read. With each page that ended, the stronger I seemed to become. In the darkest place of my life, through the word of God, I was able to see the light. For the first time in many years, I was still enough to listen to the calm inner voice that attended me. Instantly, I was doomed. I knew that in order to survive the long journey ahead, I had no choice but to change my ways and follow the path that God intended for me.

This journey has not been easy, but I can say that with the grace of God I made it. Today, six years later, I see things very differently than I did before. Through my mistakes I realize the importance of education and hard work. My experience has taught me that what we think is a short cut always turns out to be the wrong long route!

Behind bars, I have had to raise my children in a prison visiting room. My son was 11 years old when I was first incarcerated. Last June he graduated from high school, which was one of many memorable occasions that I missed. Not only have I had to suffer, my family has also had to bear the pain of my mistakes.

Having paid a heavy price for my actions, I realize it was never worth risking my freedom! I am sharing my story with you so that you pay attention to my message and learn from my mistakes. No matter how desperate you may seem or how easy you think it is to make something up, avoid crime at all costs! Whichever way you cut it, you’ll get caught in the end! So, stay in school, get your education, and passionately follow your dreams. Hard work will pay off in the end and no one will take that away from you. Trust me, crime just doesn’t pay, so DON’T DO IT!

Basic woodturning: what tools do you need?

admin

One of the strange things about woodturning compared to most other forms of woodworking is buying equipment to get started. If you were buying a table saw, it would come with at least one blade. Most drills come with a sampler of bits these days. Lathes almost always come alone. Oh, there will probably be a tail center and a spur center and a face plate to hold the work on the machine, but there won’t be any tools for the most basic cuts. In other words, there is still a lot to be done besides the lathe to get the most basic jobs done.

One of the best ways to get basic wood tuning tools is to buy a starter kit. Some turners will advise buying tools one at a time to get only what he needs, but that only works if you know which tools he likes best or needs most and that comes with time and practice. A starter kit is likely to have everything you need for basic cutting.

Woodturning is roughly divided into spindle turning and faceplate turning. Some think of it as spindles and bowls, but the diversity of objects far exceeds these categories. For spindle turning, a roughing gouge is needed; a pair of spindle gouges, one larger than the other; a sharing tool; a bias chisel and maybe two of different sizes; and possibly a scraper. Faceplate work requires a bowl gouge. It will be longer than spindle gouges and stronger in construction. High speed steel tools are the norm these days and are what the beginner should buy for both beginners and long term crafters.

Each type of these tools has a different profile and different sharpening requirements. Fortunately, there are many sharpening jigs on the market for lathe workers. In the past, circumstances in basic woodturning required newcomers to the trade to learn the art of sharpening tools as well as making the basic cuts and some would argue that sharpening was the most difficult to learn. Good jigs coupled with high speed tools that hold a much longer edge than the old high carbon steel tools make life much easier for the beginner and the advanced practitioner as well.

By the way, the basic sharpening tool for a woodturner is a grinder with an extra-fine aluminum oxide wheel and you may need to purchase that as well.

Perhaps as intrinsic as the tools is the need for safety on the wood lathe. While it is one of the safest tools in the shop, it still throws material in a person’s face at twenty-five or more miles per hour. A full face mask is needed. Lung protection during sanding can be taken care of with a good sanding mask. Hearing protection for those times when the lathe is turning, a power drill is being used for sanding, and the dust collector is running should be on every turner’s must-wear list.

Basic woodturning requires more than the woodturn itself, but the enjoyment is more than worth it for most stand-up crafters. A beginner’s high-speed steel tool set, a grinder and sharpening jig, and the lathe itself will last for years of amazing, creative woodturning fun.

Mom! Get a life!

admin

A day in the life of a mom is not always a pretty show!! For those moms who have babies and have chosen to stay home with them, it’s a day full of diapers, crying, accidents and laundry.

For those moms who have babies and work outside the home, it’s all of those things AND a rushed morning of trying to find the dress that doesn’t have the spit-ups and putting the car seats in the car to get the babies out. to the playgroup.

For others who have children in school, it’s a whole different set of crazy, exhausting routines that leave the mother feeling unappreciated and utterly drained.

Many moms expect their husbands to appreciate them and feel a bit empty because men have their own set of needs that go unmet and find it hard to fill you when they are empty themselves.

If you hold your breath waiting for your kids to appreciate you, you’ll turn blue and die long before you get the much-needed “Thank you, Mom!” that many of us yearn for.

So is there any hope? Can you find appreciation in this life or do you have to wait until you cross over to glory for God to say, “Well done”? Absolutely not! There is hope in the here and now, but it takes a little effort on your part! No more waiting for someone else to appreciate you. You need to get yourself a life!! Before you get mad at me, let me explain!

Two and a half years ago, I was at the lowest place in my life. She had been a teacher for 12 years in the public school system. My husband had been a homemaker and a part-time actor and pastor. We decided it was time to follow the dreams that God had placed in his heart, which was to move to Los Angeles so he could pursue acting as a full-time career and possibly be in television or film. In other words, he needed to get a life for himself. I was going to do it!!

So we rented our house in Oregon and moved into a very small apartment in Los Angeles. After a few weeks, when he didn’t get the lead role in a major movie, we got hungry, so he needed to get a job. He found a great job at a very large car dealership and started working 70-80 hours a week as a salesman to support us in very expensive Southern California.

This is where the depressing part comes in. I was a stay-at-home mom to three little kids for the first time in a huge new city where I was scared to drive and didn’t know anyone and my husband was never home because he worked long hours. I didn’t want to get out of bed and take a shower every day. I cried all the time and my children were also beginning to reflect my bad mood and attitude. As the old saying goes, “If Mom ain’t happy, then nobody’s happy.” This went on for almost two years! Yuck!!

My friends started telling me that I needed help and even my mother in law suggested that I find a life for myself and seek help. They said I needed to go to the doctor and get medication to improve my mood. So I did. I went for my annual physical, at which point I asked my doctor if he could give me antidepressants for my depression.

First he asked me a lot of questions about my life and about my past. He soon found out that it was an isolated incident and told me that he didn’t need medication, he needed to have a life! ahh!! The nervous ones!!! He wanted a quick fix and he wanted it NOW! (Note: Many people suffer from chemical imbalances in their bodies and need medication to correct them. I’m not against antidepressants. It just wasn’t the right diagnosis for me.)

Get a life! How do you do that?

Well, I wasn’t going to let this doctor tell me that I needed to have a life. I had a life and it was depressing and boring and I was never appreciated for my efforts!! But, I went looking for what “Get a life” meant anyway. In my search, I realized that God intends our lives to be wonderful and fulfilling.

So how do you get a life? Here are the steps I took to find my amazing new life:

1. Write down all the things you love. I really like being on the internet meeting and emailing people. I also love to sing. I really like teaching, but not with little kids anymore. Don’t think too much during this exercise. Just write what comes to mind and don’t be convinced of what you love. Only YOU know what you’re passionate about and it’s okay to feel the way you do!

2. Research your top 5 passions. Go online and search for those 5 areas that you are most passionate about and see what comes up. Go to the library and check out books on each of those topics. Look in the phone book to see if there are any lessons you can take, etc.

3. Choose an area to follow RIGHT NOW! Why wait?? On a piece of paper in large, bold letters, write what you want to accomplish and set a goal to do three things a day to move toward your goal. It doesn’t matter if the goal seems too big to achieve today. Remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. I decided I wanted to start my own internet business where I could help other moms find their own lives and financial freedom as well.

4. Share your goal with someone who supports you. Make sure you don’t share your sweet new goal and pursuit of a fulfilling life with those in your family and friends who might trample on and belittle your goal. There will always be dream crushers in our lives and you need to stay away from those people right now. I have a dear friend who cheers me on no matter what I’m doing. I told him about my desire to start a business. Not only did he cheer me on, but he hosted my first candlelight party!

5. Reward yourself often. As you reach small milestones, be sure to reward yourself. I told myself that when my business reached a certain level I would buy a new wedding ring. My first wedding ring broke due to all the weight gain during my pregnancies and I hadn’t had a ring for over 5 years. I deserved a ring and when I reached my goal I went to the jewelry store and picked out my favorite ring and walked out with my reward shining on my finger! It was also Valentine’s Day. What a perfect day to say to myself, “Job well done, Kari!” Every time I look at that beautiful ring on my finger, I smile because I know I worked hard and made a difference for so many to earn that reward.

6. Start the process again! You don’t need to stop after achieving your first goal. Take a look at your Passion List again, add it and choose a new search! I enjoy speaking motivationally and sharing what I have learned to help others have a life. So one of my new goals that I set for myself last spring is to speak at conferences across the country. Since then, I have spoken in Pennsylvania, Kansas, Las Vegas, and Cleveland. I will speak again in PA in August. I use humor to help others see their own potential and learn how to be successful. I never dared to dream that I could do something like this until I set out to GET A LIFE!

So, what are you waiting for? Take the steps TODAY to get a life and if you need help, contact me! I would love to help you! This is how I found my life… helping others find theirs!

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett – Estate Plan Wake-Up Call

admin

Following the sad and tragic deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, we are all reminded of how fragile our lives can be and how quickly things can change. The death of these two iconic figures should be a call for many to get their estate plan in order. It should be noted that the reality is that most people die without a will in our country. Some really smart and famous people, Abraham Lincoln, Howard Hughes, and Pablo Picasso, die without taking the time to draw up a will.

Many of us procrastinate, downplay our personal need or the legal importance of drafting wills, trusts, living wills, and durable powers of attorney. The complexities of combining and coordinating diverse assets, such as individual assets, jointly owned assets, retirement plans, life insurance, annuities, and business interests, seem too daunting for some. For others, they don’t realize the importance of seeing all of their assets from a big picture perspective; that is, when all is said and done, who ends up with what. Is the division of assets fair and equitable for all concerned after payment of taxes, debts, and estate administration costs?

For many, the untimely death of Michael Jackson has raised these and many other estate planning issues. At this time, no one knows if he had a will and/or a trust for his children, or if his estate plan was current. But by looking at his situation (and speculating a bit), some important estate planning considerations for the rest of us can be explored:

Guardianship: It is unclear what provisions Mr. Jackson had in his will (assuming there is a valid will) for his children. The first word from the media is that this will be a messy court battle over the issue of guardianship of his children, even if his will indicates his preference for guardianship. Even if contested, the appointment of guardian in a will would still be a very important factor in any legal challenge and in any event it is always wise to state the wishes of the guardian. The object lesson is clear: Parents with young children must clearly see the need for a will indicating their choice of guardian for their children.

Trusts: No one knows if Mr. Jackson had established trusts for his children. Although it appears that his estate is now insolvent, this situation will likely change with post-mortem sales of his music someday providing assets and wealth for his children (think post-mortem income from Elvis’s estate). Presley). Hopefully, he established trusts that will protect and manage his assets. To increase the chances of becoming competent adults, he may have drafted provisions in his trust in a way that develops his sense of personal initiative and responsibility and still meets his basic needs. Experienced estate planning attorneys explore this type of forward planning when it comes to dealing with children and their anticipated needs if parents die prematurely.

Specific legacies: The media has speculated that a large part of his estate (his rights to Beatles songs) was donated to Paul McCartney. This generosity may be commendable, but from an estate planning perspective, this legacy can pose problems. First, if your estate is indeed insolvent, this legacy asset would not be available for your estate to be sold and the proceeds used to pay off the estate’s debts and/or benefit your children. Second, in general, bequests such as these are often given in ways that do not generate estate taxes. This could distort the way assets are divided among beneficiaries. The point here is that this bequest may have made sense when the will was originally drawn up when Mr. Jackson was wealthy, but this bequest could be quite problematic in the current situation. The lesson here is that an estate plan should be reviewed periodically as family needs and financial situations change over time.

Special Needs Trusts: Farrah Fawcett died leaving behind a son who is in jail with addiction problems. Issues for people with children with special needs are often downplayed, overlooked, or not fully considered. As her only daughter, did she leave all her wealth to her son? Did his will of hers provide that he would receive her inheritance upon her death or did he provide a trust for her benefit? If she set up a trust, what kinds of provisions and conditions did she make to provide benefits to you? These difficult questions arise not only for children with addiction problems, but also for children with cognitive deficits, physical disabilities, and emotional problems. Also, special needs trusts may be necessary when children receive public assistance from state and local governments.

The bottom line: Protect your family and protect your hard-earned wealth. Take time to plan your affairs with an experienced estate planning attorney. Remember, if you die without a will or trust, your state’s intestate laws will control who gets your assets and how they get your assets. When it comes to young children, courts generally place children’s estates in trust according to what the judge deems appropriate. In addition, the judge will determine who will be the trustee of any trust placed on your children and will determine who should be the guardian of your children. These and other important considerations should be determined by you and not by a court of law, so do it and do it now so you don’t leave problems like the ones Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett may have left behind.

Why transforming IAM to CIAM is an asymptotic fantasy

admin

It has been more than half a decade since people have tried to understand the concepts of IAM and cIAM. There is very little awareness of identity management and it can be difficult to understand the difference between eIAM (enterprise identity and access management) and cIAM (customer identity and access management). It’s been quite a while since people are trying to clarify the difference between eIAM and cIAM, but all efforts seemed futile. So let’s clear things up and be on the same ground. The writing on the wall is bold and clear.

“It is difficult to transform eIAM to cIAM”

You want to know why? There are a few facts that I’m going to show you, but before that, let’s go over some identity management concepts.

Identity: Defined

Anything that helps identify oneself in a physical world can be called an identity. Generally, government identification cards are used to serve the purpose. Therefore, an identity card is issued for the purpose of allowing privileged access to a legitimate person and can be used in various segments of society.

Digital identity: defined

Digital identity is your recognition online. It helps to identify as a person in the real world. A person can have multiple digital identities depending on their needs. But, digital identities are only considered for a particular website or network, which means that a Gmail email address can only be recognized on the Google network. Thus, a digital identity (an individual) gets approval to access the website. This is how a website performs the authentication process.

Access: Defined

When you enter a facility to use its resources, it is called gaining access. Also, the sensitivity of the data decides the degree of permission provided. Therefore, public data, such as data on websites, is easy to access, while private messages, such as emails, require special authorization (called a login). A successful login is proof of a person’s validation.

Introduction to enterprise identity and access management

Enterprise Identity Access and Management is a technology used throughout the organization for internal employees, contractors, and partners. The process is to provide identities, authenticate identities, and then provide them with access to resources. As its name implies, the technology focuses on internal employees and other members related to an organization. The technology addresses security aspects in an organization, such as restricting resources to internal employees, providing access to employees and other members according to their profile, and helping them collaborate to work with each other. Therefore, Enterprise IAM promotes security in an organization.

Introduction to customer identity and access management

Customer identity management focuses primarily on end users. They are intended for consumers, which are totally based on a different architecture, i.e. consumer-centric. Many other aspects are added to cIAM to make it capable of handling challenges in real time. It strikes the perfect balance between satisfying the needs of consumers and the prospects of a business. Let’s review these insights briefly to learn more about cIAM.

customer perspective

Customer always prefer user friendly environment and cIAM offers excellent user friendly environment resulting in good customer experience. Many services like single sign-on, social login and secure environment in terms of handling your personal information win the trust of consumers. Furthermore, the technology is device and geographically independent. It is highly responsive and available. These features make cIAM easily acceptable, as no company can survive for long without these factors. Therefore, it leads to a poor customer experience and ends in lost revenue.

Therefore, cAM meets the need for companies to adopt a customer-centric approach. The transaction and the service are treated equally with the quality of the product. Therefore, cIAM is more than a customer database. It really strengthens ties with customers.

commercial aspect

When it comes to business, cIAM remains an undisputed champion. Aside from getting customer information from cIAM, it increases the probability of providing customers with a unified customer experience. Personalized attention to clients and the promotion of the brand-client relationship are some of the advantages of cIAM. In addition, CRM, segmentation, and CMS technologies gain an advantage by working in collaboration with cIAM technologies.

know the difference

Being a cIAM, for an IAM company is almost impossible. And these are some presentable factors.

  • Created an enterprise identity management solution to manage comparatively minor identities with respect to cIAM. An enterprise IAM can only manage a few thousand identities. But, with cIAM, the number can reach the billions.
  • The user experience of your users is defined in enterprise IAM through the level of access provided to users. In other words, the permissions granted to the user determine the ease of their online experience. cIAM promotes the user experience based on personalized data received as inputs through clients. Users voluntarily provide information when registering on your website. Additionally, users are assisted by various touch points to log in to your website.
  • An enterprise IAM needs to focus on its security aspects while tuning its performance. An enterprise IAM does not see the service and the transaction as important factors for the business. cIAM fully supports a customer-centric environment that is beneficial to business. Self-management services in cIAM, such as password recovery and other account-related options, are the best examples of cIAM’s customer-centric approach. Unfortunately, Enterprise IAM does not come with these facilities.
  • Enterprise IAM is designed for internal organizational activities and does not support cross-channel interaction or cross-device deployment. It means that customers cannot interact with your business through multiple channels (social networks) or using different types of devices. Support for cross-device and cross-channel interaction is one of the USPs of the customer identity management solution.

Therefore, there ARE problems with the transformation from eIAM to cIAM. It is nearly impossible to redesign an entire architecture, and eIAM lacks some of the key features of cIAM. Also, an eIAM design is not intended to foster customer relationships. So transforming an eIAM into a cIAM is an asymptotic fantasy.

A Guide To Live Dealer Online Casinos

Live Dealer Online Casinos

There are plenty of advantages to live dealer online casinos. They offer social interactions and fast slots, while providing players with a more realistic gambling experience. In addition, live dealer games offer lower house edges, meaning you can place bets as low as $1. For more information about live dealer online casinos, read our guide to this type of casino. It will help you decide if live dealer casino games are for you and your gaming style.

Before you start playing, you’ll want to check out the lobby of the casino. Look for a tab labeled live casino. There are often several tables per game, separated by stake level. Select a table and select a dealer. If the casino doesn’t have a live dealer in the lobby, check out the other live casino options. Some live casinos offer customizable layouts for table and big screen promotion. You can also select the language of the dealers, allowing them to ingratiate themselves with players and earn their trust.

A Guide To Live Dealer Online Casinos

Aside from these benefits, live casino games also provide a greater sense of security than virtual games. Because players can see the dealer, there’s no possibility of manipulation or cheating. Baccarat has long been played and is one of the most popular casino games. In addition, you can play baccarat at a single or multi-player table. It’s also possible to choose a multi-player table for even more interaction.

Another advantage of live casino games is that they bring the thrill of a land-based casino into the comfort of your home. Live dealers use video streaming across the internet to show the dealer’s area. You can view the dealer’s face in real time, and other players can also play the game at the same time. Despite this, live dealers are still the preferred option amongst many players. And if you want to play the best casino games online, live dealers are a great option.

In the United States, live dealer games are a great option for players who prefer the atmosphere of a brick-and-mortar casino. Although the United States has strict gambling regulations, it’s becoming increasingly common for states to regulate their online casinos. Several states, including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, have legalized the industry. These states have already provided a substantial market for live dealer games. Currently, operators in the US market are limited to the basic selection of games. Additionally, they need to locate their studios in their own state. This can quickly add up.
