As Donald Trump’s education secretary, Devos has made some remarks that not everyone is fond of.
For example, the answer she gave to a question concerning whether or not teachers should be allowed to bear arms in public schools was met with ridicule.
Devos’ reply was that the staff probably carried guns simply to protect against grizzly bears.
Although Devos may have had a smile on her face when she uttered these words, her statement was not taken seriously nor was it taken lightly, as she intended for it to be.
Devos began getting mocked by both the media and late night comedy shows for that remark.
Friends and family members, however, say that the statement was simply meant to be a joke.
Devos ignored all talk of her statement until she attended a meeting at the Education Department where she began joking again and described her meeting as “a bit of a bear.”
She and her husband, Dick, are both billionaires and enjoy spreading their wealth, even making more vouchers available to students who are interested in attending schools that are not public.
Aside from saying that guns can protect against grizzly bears, Devos has said and done other controversial things. One example would be when she backed Trump’s decision to repeal Obama’s federal bathroom policy.
This policy allowed transgenders to choose which gender-specific bathroom they wanted to enter.
Having a very religious upbringing and worldview, Devos never seemed to disagree with Trump on this decision.
She said in a public statement to the Conservative Political Action Conference that the bathroom policy was an overreach by the Obama administration.

The technology used in day-to-day transactions continues to create innovative solutions for problems that we may not have even known to exist. The company based in Europe has developed a new contactless payment ring that you will be able to wear on your body that can keep track of all of the financial information. The company is PSI-Pay. The originally founded with the intention of creating a specialized customer-oriented solution market for prepaid debit and credit card services. In 2006 they partnered with Kerv Wearables another technology company in order to bring the contactless MasterCard payment ring to market.
The intention behind these new wearable payments technologies is that you will never have a need to carry a wallet around anymore. You will no longer have to authenticate or validate transactions by either using a pin number or by giving your signature, and your banking information will be able to travel with you.
There has been a slow shift to this as more and more people are carrying less cash in their wallets. Already in recent years, most individuals have been using debit or credit cards instead of paper money. Many individuals believe vent paper money is a thing of the past. One of the best advances that are offered by the new technology is that it is much more secure and you will be much less likely to be a victim of fraud or identity theft.
As of right now anywhere in the world that accepts the MasterCard will also accept payment from the contactless payment ring that has been created by Kerv Wearables. This means that there are already over 38 million locations around the world that accept transactions from the new technology. It is regulated by the federal communications administration regulations to give consumers an additional layer of protection. You’re able to add funds from various sources such as credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, and even the bank. The technology is both easy-to-use and versatile in its applications. There is hope that in the future will be able to live in a world where the advances in technologies such as this will allow us to live a much more simple life.
Bob Reina has always made it a point to never disappoint the people. It is something that really matters to him and something that is really important to him. He knows he is only as good as his word, which is why he goes out of his way to make sure he delivers on his word, each and every time. He knows a lot of eyes are looking at him and a lot of people are depending on him. For Bob Reina, that is something that goes a long way in his life. He wants people to enjoy using Talk Fusion and know exactly what they are getting when they sign up for it.
That is important to him and that matters to him. Without it, he is not Bob Reina. This is a company he founded and created back in 2007. When he started the company, he had a clear vision and a clear idea for the company: allow people to have their dreams come true. Throughout all of this, that has not changed and it never will change. As a matter of fact, it is only going to grow with time. The goals are going to grow because Bob Reina knows what the people need today and he intends on giving it to them. Bob Reina wants people to know they can trust him and count on him.
For a lot of people, they have been let down by others in life. It has happened far too often and they are sick of it. They can’t take it anymore. Too many people have lied to them, misled them, and given them false information. They start to lose faith in humanity and they lose faith in people.

The Russian born, Doe Deere, is considered the “Unicorn Queen” in the beauty industry due to her striking luminous colors. She is the founder of Lime Crime Cosmetics, an online beauty brands venture that deals with makeup. She also works as the CEO of the L.A California based firm. Deere was among the pioneer women entrepreneurs to spring an online makeup firm in 2008, utilizing cruelty-free and boldly colorful cosmetics that are vegan and certified. She was raised up in the city of New York where she also went to school and majored in fashion design and illustration at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Deere stumbled upon cosmetics when working as a fashion designer and maker of her own independent online clothing line. After encountering challenges with matching bright colored makeup with her outfits, the idea of establishing a bright colored makeup popped up. She was always fascinated by fairy tales and makeup from a young age, so when this chance came, Doe Deere was convinced of a cruelty-free makeup brand that is fun and imaginative for all to wear.
She says that they use a unicorn as Lime Crime’s mascot to signify individuality, uncommon beauty, and tender affection towards all animals. Moreover, the purple color of the brands shows creativity. The firm produces products such as nail polish, loose pigments, primers, eye-shadow palettes, “criminally coveted” lipsticks and glittery lip gloss, rainbow-colored liquid liners, and fine brushes.
Doe Deere is a hardworking entrepreneur who is daring and bold as signified by his choice of bright. She ventured first in online clothing designs in 2004, making a steady income on eBay and later launched Lime Crime in 2008. She tried her luck in fashion design but was not convinced about it as a career until she fell in love with makeup.
She used online makeup demonstration and explanation sessions to promote Lime Crime creating a publicity platform that made her the success she is today. To market her brand, she has a blog that majors in showing makeup tutorials, including fun ways of using Lime Crime products. There were even online contests and makeup giveaways which resulted in a substantial fan base.
To come up with new business ideas, Doe Deere advocates for being attentive to feedback one gets in all the available platforms. She says criticism can be molded into a tool for brand growth and development. Deere observes that people talk about what they want, and it is vital to respond accordingly whether on social media or advisement campaigns. She believes that people should air their concerns about areas they care about, and for her, it is about female entrepreneurship as she expressed on Vegas Nay’s Stardust Tour and PHAMExpo.
She believes business for her is making people happy as in the case of her unique fantasy twist in her vegan-cosmetics. She is glad that her business has allowed her to make charitable contributions to children, animal-rescue operations, and women. Currently, they have supported Sanctuary For Families, the Red Cross, Adopt NY, Girls Inc., the Bideawee animal shelter, and HOLA for kids in LA. With the current full-digital generation Z, Doe Deere is inspired to come up with more mythical and fantasy things to enlarge her “Unicorns” philosophy.
Event planners have to devise a system for successfully throwing a great party. Usually, a plan must be enacted that has several steps covering the planning, the party itself and the party’s ending. This is a standard used by every event planning company in NYC. It works for both formal and informal gatherings.
Party Planning Primer
Start the planning early, so that everything gets remembered and completed for your party. When everything is prepared in a timely manner, you, the host are more relaxed and better able to enjoy the event. Plus, you have plenty of time to get ready for the affair and you looked relaxed when your guests arrive.
Start planning early. Create a party checklist.
Stay organized. Mark off everything you complete. Keep track of your guest’s food dislikes and allergies. Keep track of contact information for your guests and their RSVPs.
Throw a party with a unique theme. It makes the festivities more interesting when it’s centered on a Mardi Gras, Great Gatsby, St. Patrick’s Day or a Beatles theme. It makes the decorating fun and gimmicky so the guests can be drawn into the fun using drinks that are reminiscent of the theme, like the grasshopper or a mojito or other green drinks for St. Patty’s Day and the Vieux Carré Cocktail for Mardi Gras parties.
Allow your guests to be their own mixologists with a self-serve bar set up to include several different liquors along with a few choices of festive mixers. Be creative with decanters and glasses to create a pleasant looking table. Serve your guests the moment they walk in the door with a party themed drink. They will immediately feel a part of the festivities.
Make that first drink a special concoction with a glass or garnishes that reflect the theme such as four leaf clover favors dropped into the drink or sitting on the lip of the glass.
Keep it simple with food. Don’t do a sit down dinner; instead serve hors d’oeuvres that can be made from prepared foods, like toasted pita wedges, special cheeses, hummus and other prepared dips.
Set up a kids table that encourages the kids to be creative. A table with craft paper cover and crayons or coloring pencils will engage the children. Add donuts or cupcakes and they will be happy.
Keep place settings simple if you do decide to serve a meal. Incorporate the theme in a simple manner, using it to create place settings, napkins and silver ware holders.
Stay relaxed. Your comfort level will be picked up by your guests. At the end of the party, send your guests home with a party themed favor.
