LIVE AND LEARN

“

Live and Learn is working to end this epidemic of poverty. The Phoenix-based nonprofit empowers women to achieve financial self-sufficiency, enabling them to lift themselves out of poverty and create a brighter future for their children. ince 2012, the organization has served adult women from the Phoenix-metro area whose lives have been affected by poverty, violence, and homelessness.

Live and Learn gave me the chance to write a new page of my life. - Maria G.

”

Based on research by the Bill and Melinda Gates oundation, the orld Health Organization, and the Annie E. Casey oundation, Live and Learn focuses on the five critical aspects needed to lift an individual out of poverty education, career planning, social support, life-skills development, and financial literacy. ith Live and Learn’s help, the women in the program are the first in their families to earn a high school diploma, the first to attain a secondary degree, and the first to pursue a professional career.

partners, Live and Learn brings together our community’s diverse programs and resources to address the complex needs of at-risk women. LONG - TERM SU PPORT Many organizations start a woman on the road to success, but Live and Learn supports them as they travel that road, helping them as they set goals, begin school, reach milestones, and encounter new obstacles. IT TAKES A V ILLAG E Clients of other organizations may meet and form bonds, but Live and Learn recognizes that meaningful relationships are essential to a woman’s long-term success. Each woman that enters the program joins a strong community of women who support each other, encourage each other, and celebrate each other. To learn more, and read some inspiring stories of local women, visit www.liveandlearnaz.org.

FOSTER HOPE: BECOME A MENTOR Each of us faces pressures and risks in life professionally and personally. However, many of the women Live and Learn serves face these issues alone. The organization is seeking community members to volunteer as one-on-one mentors to provide hope and support to a Live and Learn woman. A mentor helps a woman recognize her own strengths, models positive life choices, offers her encouragement throughout her journey, and assists her with developing skills along the way. Mentors come from all walks of life and all economic and educational backgrounds to create a lasting impact for women, their children, and our community. To learn more or attend a mentor training, please contact ristin Chatsworth at Chatsworth liveandlearnaz.org.

Live and Learn’s program is unlike any other in the Phoenix-metro area HOLISTIC APPROACH Live and Learn serves the whole-person. Other organizations in our community address one factor necessary to a woman’s success, such as housing, ﬁnancial literacy, or job placement, but Live and Learn address the myriad factors necessary to a woman’s success.

MAYOR’S CHALLENGE TO PREVENT SUICIDE AMONG SERVICE MEMBERS, VETERANS, FAMILIES By P hoenix M

ayor T helda W illiams

VETERANS DAY IS NOVEMBER 11, BUT ANY DAY IS A GOOD TIME TO THANK THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED AND SACRIFICED, AND TO CHECK ON THEIR WELLBEING. Across the nation, veteran suicides are an ongoing, signiﬁcant problem. In Arizona, the suicide rate for veterans is 4. per 100,000 people, with Maricopa County’s rate at 4.4, according to the Arizona Violent Death eporting ystem both much higher than the national average of 38, according to the . . Department of Veterans Affairs. One suicide is too many, and we must step up as a community to support those who have given so much to our country.

The City of Phoenix is taking action through an initiative called the Mayor’s Challenge to Prevent uicide Among ervice Members, Veterans and their amilies. An interagency team, made up of military and civilian leaders from the city and state, is developing a strategic action plan to increase support and reduce suicide. As part of the initiative, Phoenix is also a partner in Arizona’s Be Connected program, which connects service members, veterans and families to resources and support. Everyone is invited to be part of the solution. Training and support is available to all members of the community. To learn more, visit BeConnectedA .org or call 1-4A -VET (42 ) for 24 support.

DESERT TRAILS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL INSTALLS STUDENT DESIGNED ART SCULPTURE By P V S chools IN THE FALL OF 2017, SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS AT DESERT TRAILS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BEGAN WORKING ON A “PUBLIC ART” SCULPTURE PROJECT IN ART CLASS. They were given a theme, Patriotic, and began planning and building a model for a sculpture that expressed their interpretation of that theme. The models were made out of paper and stood roughly 12 inches tall. In addition, students wrote an artist statement explaining their thought process and the meaning of their model. Once complete, students voted for their favorite model, and the one they wanted to represent their class in front of the school.

The winning sculpture model, which was designed by Hailey Carter, currently a seventh grade student at Explore Middle chool, was then handed off to Mr. Tyson artler, a Metals teacher at Paradise Valley High chool. Mr. artler and his students enlarged the pieces to scale, cut them out of sheet metal, welded them together, and ﬁnally, painted the sculpture with automotive paint. The sculpture was transported back to Desert Trails Elementary chool and was bolted to a cement slab and permanently installed on the campus. It is the third public sculpture at the school. This collaborative project was entirely funded by the Desert Trails Elementary chool PTO.

ASK THE Permanent Makeup EXPERT

HEATHER OF VIVIFY ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS By H eather W all of Club 4 2 P ermanent Cosmetics at V ivify

Q . How long does permanent makeup last? A. Permanent makeup is permanent. o why do you need touch ups Because color fades, and chemicals treatments we use on our face effect it. Personally, I don’t like permanent makeup to be overwhelming. If people notice your eyeliner before they notice you it’s too strong. I recommend to my clients that they come in for a refresh every year. Your make up stays fresh without overpowering. Touch ups are generally less than 100, so it is very reasonable. Q . Does permanent makeup hurt? It sounds like it should, right?

A. I can’t say that it is completely painless, but if your technician takes the time to numb you, you should be just ﬁne. Ask your technician what she uses. nless she is practicing under a doctor’s license, she shouldn’t use anything that is prescription strength. I’ve done make up for 20 years and have never needed to utilize anything that’s not over-the-counter strength. Important advice Be on time for your appointment so you don’t lose any time for numbing! Q . W hat’s the difference b etween permanent makeup and microb lading? A. 0 years ago, people referred to Permanent Makeup as Micro Pigmentation. It was their way of making it not sound like a tattoo. The

same thing goes with Microblading. It sounds a lot better than slicing the skin. Microblading places small scratches or slices in the skin followed by rubbing pigment into the area and letting it stay. This can create a hairlike stroke if done properly, which stays for approximately months. Permanent makeup is done much like a tattoo, where a tiny needle is used to implant the color just above the dermis. I prefer to do mine by hand rather than machine. Hair strokes can be created, or you can also have a shaded brow. You can expect this to last many years without any touch up, although the color will fade and lighten. Permanent makeup lasts longer simply because it is deposited deeper in the skin. Microblading cannot go too deep or it would lay open the skin.

Q . Can I have lash extensions with my permanent makeup? A. Yes. Permanent makeup is a beautiful accent to lashes because it makes them look fuller and is maintenance free. You just can’t do them at the same time. If my client has already been coming to me for lashes and wants eyeliner, I simply book the appointments to accommodate healing time in line with her lash reﬁll. Q . W hat are your words of advice? A. Be conservative. You can always go bigger, thicker or darker. It would be better to add a little bit when you get all dressed up than have to use concealer on a regular basis. tick to classic colors and don’t go trendy. You can always apply trendy color over the top.

NATURAL, FANCY COLORED DIAMONDS By Indra Jhaveri O wner of AM I Diamonds

iamonds come in all colors of the rainbow. Most people know about white diamonds and maybe canary yellow diamonds. The colored diamonds are rarer in Mother Nature and some special colors (e.g., red, blue, green, pink, purple and orange) are very rare and considered collectibles. They are sold for record -breaking prices in auction houses. Browns (chocolate) and yellows are the more common fancy colors. According to the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), which established a universal diamond grading system accepted and practiced throughout the world, Only one in 10,000 carat displays fancy colors and one in 2 ,000 carats display intense colors. GIA grading reports of such diamonds (1.00 carat and above) with ﬁner cuts, clarity and intensity of color have been sold for hundreds of thousands, to millions of dollars in auction houses. o how are they created According to GIA researcher s theory

PINK DIAMONDS are caused by color centers that can selectively absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum. Color centers are the result of lattice defects or imperfections in the arrangement of atoms. The Pink tar’ diamond ( . 0ct) sold for 1 million at an April 4, 201 , otheby s auction.

BLACK DIAMONDS get their color from large uantities or minute mineral inclusions, such as graphite, pyrite, or hematite, that extend throughout the stone. A .0 ct black diamond is well known.

YELLOW DIAMONDS are caused by the presence of nitrogen. Yellow diamonds are considered to be fancy when they fall outside the D to color range (colorless to light yellow). BLU E DIAMONDS are caused by boron impurities presence and are very rare. Color can also be caused by radiation exposure or associated with hydrogen (enhanced and not rare). Most famous is The Hope Diamond’ which at 4 . 2ct is a fancy, deep grayish blue and was examined by GIA in 1 . RED DIAMONDS are most rare and only a handful of red diamonds over .00 carats have been found. GIA still have not determined what causes the red color. G REEN DIAMONDS get their color when radiation displaces carbon atoms from their normal positions in the crystal structure. This can happen naturally (rare) when diamond deposits lie near radioactive rocks or artiﬁcially as a result of treatment by radiation. Dresden Green’ (41.00ct) is the largest known natural green diamond.

TIPS FOR PLANNING YOUR EMPLOYEE HOLIDAY PARTY

hanksgiving is just ahead of us and many employers are already stressing and focusing on end-ofyear holiday parties for their staff. hy stressed imple company parties involve a lot of planning, they’re expensive and due to the holidays, many employees have other commitments – so attendance is never a guarantee. However, that shouldn’t be a discouragement. Below are three simple reasons you should have a holiday party. 1. It b uilds culture. Most companies in this day in age are working on establishing, growing or reinforcing a culture within. The holiday party is a fun and low-key way to demonstrate to staff members what you are really about. Bring out key elements of your company culture within the party and hone in on employee recognition. Having a company party shows your staff that you value their happiness and want to create a fun place for them to work. 2. Allow employees to get to know each other on a personal note, not just business. More importantly, it allows them to get to you know, the boss, on a more personal note – which builds trust. 3. Shows gratitude. By incorporating some type of employee recognition into the holiday party, employees feel valued and grateful. Throwing a party shows them they are valuable as people, not just something you throw a check at for a year-end bonus. o now that it’s settled to have one steps

BEWARE OF FLOOD DAMAGE WHEN BUYING A USED VEHICLE

ecent storms have given Arizonans in the market for used cars even more reason to pay close attention to a vehicle’s condition and history, especially in private sales. Cars damaged by floodwaters such as those resulting from Hurricane lorence can sometimes find their way to Arizona to be sold. If a vehicle is flood-damaged, the title should say salvage or flood damage. But scammers can and do fraudulently remove flood history from vehicle titles. e want to make sure potential buyers remain vigilant when looking at used vehicles and not sign anything until the vehicle has been checked over bumper to bumper, said illie Hall, detective sergeant with ADOT’s Office of Inspector General, which investigates fraud involving titles and vehicle sales. lood-damaged vehicles that have been repackaged and dressed up are a common scam after major weather events like what we’ve seen recently. Potential buyers should closely inspect vehicles and be prepared to walk away if things don’t smell right – uite literally in some cases. • Check out all of the vehicle’s nooks and crannies. Look inside under the carpet and floor mats and examine the

trunk for dirt, silt and mold. Check under the dashboard and other hard-toreach places as well. Criminals usually don’t clean all of those places. inally, take a good whiff in those areas. ater damage leaves a distinctive smell. • Check the electrical and mechanical components. ater wreaks havoc on electrical systems, so check to see if any of those systems aren’t working uite right. Also check the engine for signs of rust or even random new parts. Get under the vehicle and check the suspension for water damage. Any of those things could be a sign that you’re in danger of buying a ﬂooddamaged vehicle. It’s always a good idea to have any used vehicle you’re looking at buying checked out by a trusted auto mechanic. A vehicle identiﬁcation number can be used to obtain the vehicle history through an online service that may charge a fee. This check can uncover a vehicle’s status as salvage or nonrepairable, as well as maintenance problems, collisions, insurance claims and titles issued in other states. or more information azdot.gov CarBuyingTips, 24-hour fraud hotline at 02-2 4 or . 12.2 0 (outside Phoenix) or email fraud azdot.gov.

Though more and more markets are set up to take credit cards, carrying cash is a must. 3. TALK TO THE G ROW ERS. Ask the grower what’s new and how do they use their product (any recipes ). In fact, a farmers market is probably the best environment to chat with your farmers and ranchers. They want to share their stories and

4. ASK ABOU T SAFETY PROTOCOLS. Ask the growers you meet if they have employed any safety practices to ensure the safety of their produce. Many growers have engaged what is known in the industry as best management practices. 5. BRING YOU R OW N BAG S. ome growers also recycle shopping bags. emember to wash your bags regularly. 6.

Can You Count On A Bountiful Investment “Harvest”? We’re officially in autumn – the season when we reap what we planted. As an investor, what can you learn from those who work the land and bring in the harvest? First, plant good “seeds”, choose investments designed to help meet your goals. Next, nurture your “crops”, add money to your existing investments over time. The larger your investment base, the more growth potential. Also, plant a "variety" of crops, diversify your investments. One type of asset, and a market downturn hit that asset class hard, your portfolio could take a hit. Keep in mind, diversification can’t protect against all losses. Finally, when it’s time to “bring in your harvest “ – tapping into your investments to support your retirement. You’ll want to stick with an appropriate withdrawal rate, so that you don’t outlive your resources. Take good care of your investment harvest – it can help provide a bushel of benefits.

THE BATSON TEAM – FROM OUR VIEWPOINT By Al and Jean Batson

t’s always a good idea to ask your Realtor and/or friends to recommend moving services. But there are things you can do to make the process easier and estimates more accurate. • Get at least two estimates • The #1 procedure to following in getting moving estimates - be sure to request a home-visit when calling a moving company. We say that because most movers offer to estimate over-thephone. There is no way to get an accurate estimate until the movers put eyes on everything you’re moving - from the closets to the rafters. Garages, kitchen cabinets & pantries, closets, wall art, televisions, crawl-space storage, underbed storage boxes…those forgotten items can make a big difference in your estimate. The number of rooms you have is the tip of the iceberg.

• Be sure to specify if TV’s, ﬁne art, large mirrors, delicate lamps etc. will be packed by the owner or the moving company. Packing those fragile items takes a great deal of extra time and packing materials so it’s wise to be sure your mover knows exactly what they’re providing. • If you pack your own fragile items (i.e. ﬂatscreen, TV’s art), ask the mover if these items are covered by the movers’ insurance replacement program in case of damage. • Be sure you clearly understand how your moving company’s insurance works; you may want additional private northtatumtimes.com

coverage. And check your personal homeowner’s insurance. • If you follow these suggestions as a standard procedure in obtaining estimates, you’ll be comparing apples to apples. • Preparation for moving (packing and sorting) takes longer than you think. Plan ahead on packing materials and time.

W h eth er y ou are ab out to buy your first home, or are planning to make a move to your next home, it is critical that

you inform yourself about the factors involved before you buy. In answer to this issue, Industry I n si d ers h av e p rep ared a F R E E special report entitled “6 Things You Must Know Before You Buy”.

• Boxes can be very expensive. Often, you’ll see notiﬁcations on websites such as Nextdoor from people who offer them free after their move– or you can buy them at Home Depot and at Storage companies. Packing materials for glassware can be purchased as well and is a good investment in keeping your fragile items safe. • Label every box as to 1) which room it will go into and 2) what it contains. If the contents are FRAGILE, mark the box accordingly. • Once you know you’ll be moving, begin the packing process. Even if your home isn’t yet sold. Start going through items – dispose of items you no longer want (gift, charity donation or sale). Begin packing up things you rarely use but plan to take with you. If you don’t have space to stack boxes in your garage, it’s worth it to rent a temporary storage unit. Making it a smooth process is in your hands.

7 Ways to Save for Retirement if You Divorce Later in Life 5

Ending a marriage can be emotional and full of decisions or challenges at any age. When couples over age 50 divorce, they often face the additional task of supporting two separate retirement plans using the assets intended for their combined nest egg. If you find yourself in this position, the following steps can help you boost your savings so that you have enough money to last what could be decades in retirement:

SAVE YOUR ALIMONY DOLLARS. Spousal support is more likely to be awarded when long-term marriages end. If you are awarded alimony as part of your divorce, consider using it to boost your retirement fund. Alimony is often granted with conditions, including the possibility that the payments will stop if you remarry, so keep those in mind as you plan for your future.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CATCH-UP CONTRIBUTION RULES. If you are employed and age 50 or older, current tax laws allow you to save additional money in your workplace retirement plan or IRA. Check IRS.gov or contact your financial advisor to learn the annual contribution limits for each account you own. WORK AN EXTRA YEAR OR TWO BEFORE RETIRING. Every additional year you spend in the workforce means you have one more year to save for the retirement you want to have – and one less year to pay for. Many Americans are spending 20 to even 40 years in retirement, so the extra money you save can make a big difference on the amount you have to live on.

SECURE A NEW OR PART-TIME JOB. If you’re retired or ready to leave your current role, re-entering the workforce in another capacity could help you generate additional monthly income. Whether you’re pursuing a dream job, side gig or consulting work, keep in mind that earning an income in retirement could affect your taxes or government benefits. Check the rules before returning to work.

DELAY CLAIMING SOCIAL SECURITY. Claiming Social Security benefits after divorce can be tricky. Bottom line: it’s worth exploring your options and choosing the best claiming strategy based on your full financial situation. If your former spouse earned a higher income, you may be eligible to receive benefits based on his or her employment record starting at age 62. In most cases, you may qualify if you were married for at least 10 years and you are still single. If you remarried, check the Social Security website to see if you are eligible (SocialSecurity.gov). If you decide to claim benefits on your ex-spouse’s record, keep the following in mind: • You may claim benefits even if your former spouse is still working. To do so, you must be divorced for at least two years.

KEEP YOUR RETIREMENT DOLLARS INVESTED. Amid a complex situation, it may be tempting to use your retirement savings to meet immediate financial needs. However, doing so could jeopardize retiring when and how you want to. Premature withdrawals from retirement accounts are an expensive short-term solution that triggers tax penalties and fees while reducing future retirement income. SEEK ADVICE. Assemble a team of professionals who can provide guidance on how to best divide assets and plan for your future. If you have friends or family who have gone through a divorce, consider asking for a referral. Enlist an attorney who can help you navigate the legal system (keeping in mind laws vary by state), advocate for your interests and update your estate plan. Also, consult a financial advisor and tax advisor for advice on crafting your retirement strategy. Emotional turmoil brought on by divorce can make it hard to prioritize your finances, but there’s never been a more important time to make sound decisions. Even if you’re eager to move forward with your life, take the time to evaluate your retirement plans thoroughly.

MOVIES MOVIE REVIEWS By A.D. Beal

A STAR IS BORN

A country singer reflects on his life and career after meeting a woman who quickly rises in fame. The two leads of A Star Is Born surprised me. We all know that Bradley Cooper is a great actor, but this film shows that he really can sing. Meanwhile with Lady Gaga, she sings wonderfully of course, but absolutely kills it with her performance. The pair have amazing chemistry, and we get to see them at their lowest and their highest. I love the contrast in the ways their performances are shot, with Cooper’s grittier concert film-like style and Gaga’s larger production aesthetic. Lastly, you can’t talk about this film and not mention the songs – all of which are amazing, especially Shallow.

VENOM

A former journalist is possessed by an alien parasite on the run from a megacorporation. I’m really confused as to whether the filmmakers behind Venom were trying to make a serious sci-fi thriller film or a comedy. To give you an idea on the tonal problems this film has, within just a few seconds we can go from Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and Venom exchanging buddy comedy-like dialogue, to a Cronenberg-esque horror scene. Speaking of Hardy, his performance is absolutely bizarre, because Eddie Brock never acts like a real human. He basically just accepts the fact that he has a parasite controlling him and seems cool with what it can do. The same goes for most of the supporting cast, though Riz Ahmed does do a decent job with the little material he has to work with. For a start to a possible cinemat-

ic universe, this is very strange and makes me wonder what the producers are intending to do with it.

THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS A young boy moves to his uncle’s house after the death of his parents, where he discovers that it has a mysterious past.

Compared to other YA films, House has much more to offer when it comes to its visuals. The production design is very creative and there is some creative visual comedy in the film. Plot wise, it hits the same beats as normal with other books, only this doesn’t take place in a future dystopia but rather the 1950s. Most of the performances are serviceable, but Jack Black, Cate Blanchett and Kyle MacLachlan are the standouts. Overall the film was enjoyable, but nothing memorable.

THE SISTERS BROTHERS

Two bounty hunter brothers search for a chemist that has created a revolutionary formula during the gold rush of the 1800s. Somehow, I could not get into this, or at least not the main story despite the talents of John C. Riley and Joaquin Phoenix. I’m not sure if it was the pacing, the style or the all-around plot of their story, but something didn’t click. Thankfully, Jake Gyllenhaal and Riz Ahmed’s part of the story was much more exciting and interesting, mostly from the dialogue they share, and the filmmaking done in certain sections. There were several parts during the film that felt like they could have been cut out, especially in the last 20 minutes. There was simply an unengaging feel to the film overall, which made it a big disappointment for me.
