Home Freedom Summer Digital Collection p.4
Durinc the
time that I was trying to work my dress
down and keep the licks off my left side,
one of the white men walked over and pulled
my dress up.
At  this time I had  to hug around the
mattress to keep the sound from coming out.
Mr. Freedman. Mrs. Hamer, you referred
to the woman from the SCLC.    Is that a religious organization, as I understand it?
Mrs. Hamer. Yes, Southern Christian
Leadership Conference.
"Mr. Freedman. Is there anything that you
would like to add to your statement before
you are questioned?
Mrs. Hamer. We have a curfew In our town,
Ruleville. Also, the night police there is a
brother to J. V. Milan, that lynched Emmett
Till in Sunflower County, the boy that was
14 years old and put In Tallahatchie River.
We have a curfew only for Negroes. It was a
little before Christmas. My husband got up
at 5 o'clock to go to the washroom. As he
walked out, we heard a knock at the door,
and he opened the door. He said, "Come In."
Two policemen walked in, Mr. Milan and
Mr. Dave Fleming, and asked him, what was
he doing up at this time of night?
Not only have I been harrassed by the
police. I had a call from the telephone
operator after I qualified to run as congress-
woman. She told me, "Fannie Lou, honey,
you are having a lot of different callers on
your telephone. I want to know do you have
any outsiders In your house? You called
somebody today in Texas. Who was you
calling, and where are you going? You had
a mighty big bill." I said the bill was paid.
"Well, I wouldn't let no outsiders come Into
my house."
I said, "What do you mean outsiders?"
"Well, we are going to check on this, and
we just don't want no people from outside
your house coming in and making outside
calls."
I would like to add right now. the people I
was with in Boston had to call the doctor
to get some relief for my back that I still
suffer with.
Chairman Taylor. Mrs. Hamer, may I ask,
what was the charge on which you were arrested on the bus incident?
Mrs. Hamer. Well, during the time I asked
the Jailer, "Would you leave the door ooen so
I could catch air." During the time the door
was open, I heard discussion: "Now, what Is
we going to charge them with?" Somebody
said something. He said, "Well, you are
going to have to get up something better
than that. Man, that Is the end of the wire."
So, I actually didn't know what we were
charged with until they got ready to have
our trial, and we were charged with resisting
arrest and disorderly conduct.
Dr. Sykes. We are all concerned about
what might possibly happen in Mississippi
this summer. Can you tell us about some
things that have happened, what is going
on now? But what do you think might happen with people going to Mississippi this
summer?
Mrs. Hamer. Well, I can say there will be a
hot summer in Mississippi, and I don't mean
the weather. Because the people are really
getting prepared. They have been riding
with the guns. But Ruleville is a very small
town.   There are about 2,000 people in there.
I see now they have a tank, and they are
keeping the dog riding on the back of the
truck so if the truck stops, the dog won't
have aything to do but Jump off.
And the mayor, he would ride around
and tell folk don't let the outside people
come Into their homes, because after they
stay awhile, they would just beat them up.
But they say, "Don't say nothing to old
Fannie Lou Hamer about it."
I am not even going on that street. My
husband was fired the day after I qualified
to run as Congresswoman In the Second
Congressional District. Last week he had
gotten a second Job. The mayor went out
on this Job on which he was working, so he
will probably be fired by the time I get back
Dr. Coles. First of all, this curfew, is this
legally done, or Is this done—how is this
known that there is a curfew?
Mrs. Hamer. As long as there is a white
man says that a Negro violated, it is legal
with them.
Dr. Coles. There is no public statement?
Mrs. Hamer. No, you just get arrested, a
Negro, If you are out after 12 o'clock.
Dr. Coles. What do they say?
Mrs. Hamer. They say you have broke the
curfew hour.   Violated the curfew hour.
Dr. Coles. Is it a local ordinance? That
is what we want to know? Is there a local
law that says that if you ere on the streets
after 12 o'clock, you are violating the law?
Mrs. Hamer. It must be, because I know
you do get arrested.
Dr. Coles. Has anyone challenged this?
Mrs. Hamer. No.
Dr. Coles. The other thing I would like
to find out is. who do you pay your telephone
bills to? Is this the Southern Bell Telephone Co.?
Mrs.  Hamer. That  Is right.
Dr. Coles. Now, this Is the town telephone operator, is it?
Mrs. Hamer. The long distance operator—
they operate out of Cleveland, Miss., because I asked her her name. She told me her
name, and Bhe said that it was Just too
much. And also, they take the telephone
wire loose from the telephone post and got
It right In front of the house and clipped
on the main line.
Dr. Coles. Al) I can say Is I lived In a town
in Georgia, and no telephone operator ever
talked to me like this.
Mrs. Hamer. Well, it was the first time for
me, but it did happen. One of the other
things that happened in Sunflower County,
the North Sunflower County Hospital, I
would say about 6 out of the 10 Negro women that go to the hospital are sterilized
with the tubes tied. They are getting up
a law said if a woman has an illegitimate
baby and then a second one, they could
draw time for 6 months or a $500 fine What
they didn't tell Is that they are already
doing these things, not only to single women but to married women.
Chairman Taylor. Thank you very much.
Mr. Freedman?
Mr. Freedman. Is Mrs. Elizabeth Allen
TESTIMONY OF MRS. ELIZABETH ALLEN, LIBERTY,
MISS.    (HAVING   FIRST   BEEN   SWORN   BY    MR.
FREEDMAN)
Mr. Freedman. Mrs. Allen, would you give
your name and address, please?
Mrs. Allen. My name is Elizabeth Allen
from Liberty, Miss. My husband was Lewis
Allen, and was killed the 31st day of January
by shots.
He had applied to get a Job. He was leaving for Milwaukee on the a.m. train, the 9
o'clock train the next morning and he got
out on the gap that leads to his home and he
was shot down with buckshot. No one was
in the home but Mrs. Elizabeth Allen and
little Mary Allen, 3 years old, the mother and
the daughter, when the shots were fired.   He
wasn't a man that stays out late at night.
So after he didn't come in and I looked at
the time, I wondered what was wrong. My
baby son was 18 years old. He was out with
his girl friend. When he came in some hours
later, he came in saying had his daddy come
in. He found his daddy's body at the gap,
shot down, which he had been dead ever
since 8:30.
The reason *I know it was 8:30, there is a
special program that I watch on a Friday
night, and I was watching this program, and
when the shot was fired, I switched the TV
off and listened.
Then I heard another shot and I heard
another shot. Then I saw the truck lights
at the gap, but I still didn't know that it
was my husband, and I didn't know that it
was the truck. I didn't know what was going
on until about 1:30 or 2 o'clock, my baby son
came in. I asked him. I said. "Son, where is
your father?" I said, "He don't stay out late
at night."
I have heart trouble and a bad stomach,
and he said. "Sit down, let me tell you something now."
I sat down, and he said, "Daddy is dead."
The minute he said it, I said, "Well, I heard
the shots."
I said. "He has been killed ever since 8:30."
He said, "Well, he has been killed awhile."
Then he went and got his oldest brother
which Is married and staying about 2>/2 miles
out of town with his mother-in-law, visiting
his mother-in-law.   He stays with me, but
that night he was visiting his mother-in-law.
Then they moved his body.
So the undertaker came in and said, "Mrs.
Allen, you have to bury your husband tomorrow, because we can't hold him out until
Sunday." I wanted to save his body until
They had the inquest and the undertaker
fixed up his body and came up to the funeral
home. Then the high sheriff, which is Mr.
Daniel Jones of Liberty, Miss., came in and
questioned me and asked me did I hear anything at the road.
I said. "Sure, I heard three shots, but I
didn't know It was someone killing Lewis
Allen, Mr. Lewis Allen," my husband.
He said, "What time were they fired?"
I said, "At 8:30." I said, "I was watching
my TV program when the shots were fired."
Then, during that time that I said I had
heard them shoot, he asked me did I know
it was my husband. I told him no, I didn't
know it was my husband until my baby
son came In and told me that my husband
was dead. But I knew my husband wasn't
a man to stay out at night. So I was worried, I was wondering what had happened,
but I didn't know that he was down at the
road, dead.
Mr. Freedman. Mrs. Allen, do you have any
reason to know why your husband was
killed?
Mrs. Allen. Well. I wouldn't really know
why he was killed, but they had been picking
at him before they killed him. On the Herbert Lee case, as far as I know. It was a
man that was killed at the gin, named Herbert Lee. When he testified that Herbert Lee
did have an iron—they wanted him to testify
that Mr. Herbert Lee had a piece of iron,
which he said he was ready to kill him he
said Mr. Herbert Lee didn't have a piece of
iron. He said Mr. Herbert Lee didn't have
anything. He said he didn't want to tell
them a story on his color they picked at him
and they continued to pick at him until they
destroyed him.
Mr. Freedman Where was Mr. Herbert Lee
Mrs. Allen. He was killed at Westbrook
Jail in Liberty, Miss.. 1962.
Mr. Freedman. You say they were picking
at him before they killed him. Who was
picking at him and in what way?
Mrs. Allen. Well. Mr. Daniel Jones and
different other white people. In 1962, Mr.
Daniel Jones came out there and told him
that he was under arrest, at 10 o'clock on
Saturday night—about 10:30 on Saturday
night. He went out to see what he was arresting him about. So he told him that he
was under arrest. He said he didn't know
anything, and he said, "Can I go my bond?"
He said, "No, not niggers, you can't go your
bond."
So right there, watching TV, he was bound.
Then he asked, "Can I get my hat?"
He said, "No, not you, nigger, you can't get
your hat."
So his baby son, which is this child, was
standing in the door. He looked around and
said, "Well, let my baby son bring my hat."
He struck him with the flashlight and
broke his jaybone and then carried him on
and put him in Jail.
I don't know whether they was carrying
him off to finish him off or what, and I told
my baby son, "Let's get in the car and see
what they're going to do with my husband
and your father."
We got in the car and tried to follow him,
but there was no way on earth to follow him,
because they were driving too fast. When I
got to town, Mr. Daniel Jones was coming
from the courthouse. I asked him, "What
did you do with my husband?"
He said, "I put him in jail and that is
where the hell he's staying."
He cursed me and told me if I didn't get
my so and so back across the river and
mighty quick, I would be In jail, too.
Then he said, "Where are you going?"
I said, "I'm going down to my son's
mother-in-law's to pick up my son and tell
him that his father has been brutally arrested."
He said, "You go down there and get your
son and get the hell back across that river."
So I went down there, picked up my son,
and done just as he said and went back
home, all three of us.
So the next morning, my son went up and
asked his daddy, "What do they have you
for?"
He said he really didn't know at the time.
Then he said, "I'll tell you they hit me last
night, son, and they broke my Jaw bone."
He said, "Go out to the high sheriff," which
was Mr. Caston; Mr. Daniel Jones wasn't
sheriff at that time, "and ask him would he
get a doctor for me?"
He run the children away and he wouldn't
get a doctor for him. So he stayed in jail
until Monday or Tuesday—I disremember
what day, but it was the first of the week he
got out. He still hadn't had a doctor, and
he couldn't eat anything, because what they
would carry to him. he couldn't eat because
his Jaw bone was broken. When they let him
out of jail they charged him $17.50, I think
Then he came, later on, home. Then he
went to Somervllle, Miss., to the doctor, next
day, and from there to Jackson, Miss., to
the doctor, because he is a veteran, to the
veterans' hospital and took treatment there.
They told him that for him to stay there
and they would treat him. he would have to
stay a certain amount of days.
Well, he has a family, so he couldn't stay
as many days as they wanted htm to stay, so
he came on back home the next day or two
and there he stayed until the Jaw got the
least bit better, and then he went back to
Mr. Day. You said that your husband,
Lewis Allen, was a witness to the killing of
Herbert Lee?
Mrs. Allen. That's right.
Mr. Day. Who was Herbert Lee killed by?
Mr. Allen. G. H. Hurst—E. H. Hurst, of
Liberty, Miss.
Mr. Day. What kind of
Mrs. Allen. A white man.
Mr. Day. What kind of work did Mr. Lee
Mrs. Allen. He was a farmer.

Page Text Durinc the time that I was trying to work my dress down and keep the licks off my left side, one of the white men walked over and pulled my dress up. At this time I had to hug around the mattress to keep the sound from coming out. Mr. Freedman. Mrs. Hamer, you referred to the woman from the SCLC. Is that a religious organization, as I understand it? Mrs. Hamer. Yes, Southern Christian Leadership Conference. "Mr. Freedman. Is there anything that you would like to add to your statement before you are questioned? Mrs. Hamer. We have a curfew In our town, Ruleville. Also, the night police there is a brother to J. V. Milan, that lynched Emmett Till in Sunflower County, the boy that was 14 years old and put In Tallahatchie River. We have a curfew only for Negroes. It was a little before Christmas. My husband got up at 5 o'clock to go to the washroom. As he walked out, we heard a knock at the door, and he opened the door. He said, "Come In." Two policemen walked in, Mr. Milan and Mr. Dave Fleming, and asked him, what was he doing up at this time of night? Not only have I been harrassed by the police. I had a call from the telephone operator after I qualified to run as congress- woman. She told me, "Fannie Lou, honey, you are having a lot of different callers on your telephone. I want to know do you have any outsiders In your house? You called somebody today in Texas. Who was you calling, and where are you going? You had a mighty big bill." I said the bill was paid. "Well, I wouldn't let no outsiders come Into my house." I said, "What do you mean outsiders?" "Well, we are going to check on this, and we just don't want no people from outside your house coming in and making outside calls." I would like to add right now. the people I was with in Boston had to call the doctor to get some relief for my back that I still suffer with. Chairman Taylor. Mrs. Hamer, may I ask, what was the charge on which you were arrested on the bus incident? Mrs. Hamer. Well, during the time I asked the Jailer, "Would you leave the door ooen so I could catch air." During the time the door was open, I heard discussion: "Now, what Is we going to charge them with?" Somebody said something. He said, "Well, you are going to have to get up something better than that. Man, that Is the end of the wire." So, I actually didn't know what we were charged with until they got ready to have our trial, and we were charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Dr. Sykes. We are all concerned about what might possibly happen in Mississippi this summer. Can you tell us about some things that have happened, what is going on now? But what do you think might happen with people going to Mississippi this summer? Mrs. Hamer. Well, I can say there will be a hot summer in Mississippi, and I don't mean the weather. Because the people are really getting prepared. They have been riding with the guns. But Ruleville is a very small town. There are about 2,000 people in there. I see now they have a tank, and they are keeping the dog riding on the back of the truck so if the truck stops, the dog won't have aything to do but Jump off. And the mayor, he would ride around and tell folk don't let the outside people come Into their homes, because after they stay awhile, they would just beat them up. But they say, "Don't say nothing to old Fannie Lou Hamer about it." I am not even going on that street. My husband was fired the day after I qualified to run as Congresswoman In the Second Congressional District. Last week he had gotten a second Job. The mayor went out on this Job on which he was working, so he will probably be fired by the time I get back home. Dr. Coles. First of all, this curfew, is this legally done, or Is this done—how is this known that there is a curfew? Mrs. Hamer. As long as there is a white man says that a Negro violated, it is legal with them. Dr. Coles. There is no public statement? Mrs. Hamer. No, you just get arrested, a Negro, If you are out after 12 o'clock. Dr. Coles. What do they say? Mrs. Hamer. They say you have broke the curfew hour. Violated the curfew hour. Dr. Coles. Is it a local ordinance? That is what we want to know? Is there a local law that says that if you ere on the streets after 12 o'clock, you are violating the law? Mrs. Hamer. It must be, because I know you do get arrested. Dr. Coles. Has anyone challenged this? Mrs. Hamer. No. Dr. Coles. The other thing I would like to find out is. who do you pay your telephone bills to? Is this the Southern Bell Telephone Co.? Mrs. Hamer. That Is right. Dr. Coles. Now, this Is the town telephone operator, is it? Mrs. Hamer. The long distance operator— they operate out of Cleveland, Miss., because I asked her her name. She told me her name, and Bhe said that it was Just too much. And also, they take the telephone wire loose from the telephone post and got It right In front of the house and clipped on the main line. Dr. Coles. Al) I can say Is I lived In a town in Georgia, and no telephone operator ever talked to me like this. Mrs. Hamer. Well, it was the first time for me, but it did happen. One of the other things that happened in Sunflower County, the North Sunflower County Hospital, I would say about 6 out of the 10 Negro women that go to the hospital are sterilized with the tubes tied. They are getting up a law said if a woman has an illegitimate baby and then a second one, they could draw time for 6 months or a $500 fine What they didn't tell Is that they are already doing these things, not only to single women but to married women. Chairman Taylor. Thank you very much. Mr. Freedman? Mr. Freedman. Is Mrs. Elizabeth Allen here? TESTIMONY OF MRS. ELIZABETH ALLEN, LIBERTY, MISS. (HAVING FIRST BEEN SWORN BY MR. FREEDMAN) Mr. Freedman. Mrs. Allen, would you give your name and address, please? Mrs. Allen. My name is Elizabeth Allen from Liberty, Miss. My husband was Lewis Allen, and was killed the 31st day of January by shots. He had applied to get a Job. He was leaving for Milwaukee on the a.m. train, the 9 o'clock train the next morning and he got out on the gap that leads to his home and he was shot down with buckshot. No one was in the home but Mrs. Elizabeth Allen and little Mary Allen, 3 years old, the mother and the daughter, when the shots were fired. He wasn't a man that stays out late at night. So after he didn't come in and I looked at the time, I wondered what was wrong. My baby son was 18 years old. He was out with his girl friend. When he came in some hours later, he came in saying had his daddy come in. He found his daddy's body at the gap, shot down, which he had been dead ever since 8:30. The reason *I know it was 8:30, there is a special program that I watch on a Friday night, and I was watching this program, and when the shot was fired, I switched the TV off and listened. Then I heard another shot and I heard another shot. Then I saw the truck lights at the gap, but I still didn't know that it was my husband, and I didn't know that it was the truck. I didn't know what was going on until about 1:30 or 2 o'clock, my baby son came in. I asked him. I said. "Son, where is your father?" I said, "He don't stay out late at night." I have heart trouble and a bad stomach, and he said. "Sit down, let me tell you something now." I sat down, and he said, "Daddy is dead." The minute he said it, I said, "Well, I heard the shots." I said. "He has been killed ever since 8:30." He said, "Well, he has been killed awhile." Then he went and got his oldest brother which Is married and staying about 2>/2 miles out of town with his mother-in-law, visiting his mother-in-law. He stays with me, but that night he was visiting his mother-in-law. Then they moved his body. So the undertaker came in and said, "Mrs. Allen, you have to bury your husband tomorrow, because we can't hold him out until Sunday." I wanted to save his body until Sunday. They had the inquest and the undertaker fixed up his body and came up to the funeral home. Then the high sheriff, which is Mr. Daniel Jones of Liberty, Miss., came in and questioned me and asked me did I hear anything at the road. I said. "Sure, I heard three shots, but I didn't know It was someone killing Lewis Allen, Mr. Lewis Allen" my husband. He said, "What time were they fired?" I said, "At 8:30." I said, "I was watching my TV program when the shots were fired." Then, during that time that I said I had heard them shoot, he asked me did I know it was my husband. I told him no, I didn't know it was my husband until my baby son came In and told me that my husband was dead. But I knew my husband wasn't a man to stay out at night. So I was worried, I was wondering what had happened, but I didn't know that he was down at the road, dead. Mr. Freedman. Mrs. Allen, do you have any reason to know why your husband was killed? Mrs. Allen. Well. I wouldn't really know why he was killed, but they had been picking at him before they killed him. On the Herbert Lee case, as far as I know. It was a man that was killed at the gin, named Herbert Lee. When he testified that Herbert Lee did have an iron—they wanted him to testify that Mr. Herbert Lee had a piece of iron, which he said he was ready to kill him he said Mr. Herbert Lee didn't have a piece of iron. He said Mr. Herbert Lee didn't have anything. He said he didn't want to tell them a story on his color they picked at him and they continued to pick at him until they destroyed him. Mr. Freedman Where was Mr. Herbert Lee killed? Mrs. Allen. He was killed at Westbrook Jail in Liberty, Miss.. 1962. Mr. Freedman. You say they were picking at him before they killed him. Who was picking at him and in what way? Mrs. Allen. Well. Mr. Daniel Jones and different other white people. In 1962, Mr. Daniel Jones came out there and told him that he was under arrest, at 10 o'clock on Saturday night—about 10:30 on Saturday night. He went out to see what he was arresting him about. So he told him that he was under arrest. He said he didn't know anything, and he said, "Can I go my bond?" He said, "No, not niggers, you can't go your bond." So right there, watching TV, he was bound. Then he asked, "Can I get my hat?" He said, "No, not you, nigger, you can't get your hat." So his baby son, which is this child, was standing in the door. He looked around and said, "Well, let my baby son bring my hat." He struck him with the flashlight and broke his jaybone and then carried him on and put him in Jail. I don't know whether they was carrying him off to finish him off or what, and I told my baby son, "Let's get in the car and see what they're going to do with my husband and your father." We got in the car and tried to follow him, but there was no way on earth to follow him, because they were driving too fast. When I got to town, Mr. Daniel Jones was coming from the courthouse. I asked him, "What did you do with my husband?" He said, "I put him in jail and that is where the hell he's staying." He cursed me and told me if I didn't get my so and so back across the river and mighty quick, I would be In jail, too. Then he said, "Where are you going?" I said, "I'm going down to my son's mother-in-law's to pick up my son and tell him that his father has been brutally arrested." He said, "You go down there and get your son and get the hell back across that river." So I went down there, picked up my son, and done just as he said and went back home, all three of us. So the next morning, my son went up and asked his daddy, "What do they have you for?" He said he really didn't know at the time. Then he said, "I'll tell you they hit me last night, son, and they broke my Jaw bone." He said, "Go out to the high sheriff" which was Mr. Caston; Mr. Daniel Jones wasn't sheriff at that time, "and ask him would he get a doctor for me?" He run the children away and he wouldn't get a doctor for him. So he stayed in jail until Monday or Tuesday—I disremember what day, but it was the first of the week he got out. He still hadn't had a doctor, and he couldn't eat anything, because what they would carry to him. he couldn't eat because his Jaw bone was broken. When they let him out of jail they charged him $17.50, I think It was. Then he came, later on, home. Then he went to Somervllle, Miss., to the doctor, next day, and from there to Jackson, Miss., to the doctor, because he is a veteran, to the veterans' hospital and took treatment there. They told him that for him to stay there and they would treat him. he would have to stay a certain amount of days. Well, he has a family, so he couldn't stay as many days as they wanted htm to stay, so he came on back home the next day or two and there he stayed until the Jaw got the least bit better, and then he went back to work. Mr. Day. You said that your husband, Lewis Allen, was a witness to the killing of Herbert Lee? Mrs. Allen. That's right. Mr. Day. Who was Herbert Lee killed by? Mr. Allen. G. H. Hurst—E. H. Hurst, of Liberty, Miss. Mr. Day. What kind of	Mrs. Allen. A white man. Mr. Day. What kind of work did Mr. Lee do? Mrs. Allen. He was a farmer. IT^M 2 - MFDP RECORDS - GENERAL PAPERS, 1963-197 I

Ohio Motor Vehicle Company war ein US-amerikanischer Hersteller von Automobilen.

Unternehmensgeschichte
Das Unternehmen entstand am 6. Oktober 1919 als Nachfolger der Ohio Trailer Company. Der Sitz war ebenfalls in Cleveland in Ohio. Charles A. Riegler war Präsident und William E. Ferris Sekretär und Schatzmeister. Die Produktion von Anhängern wurde fortgesetzt. Außerdem fertigten sie ab 1920 Automobile. Der Markenname lautete Ferris. Im Juni 1921 begann die Insolvenz. Die Produktion lief noch bis 1922. Am 1. März 1923 wurde das Unternehmen offiziell aufgelöst.

Fahrzeuge
Viele Teile wurden zugekauft. Dazu gehörte der Sechszylindermotor, der von der Continental Motors Company kam. Die Fahrzeuge hatten ausgezeichnete Karosserien und waren relativ teuer.

1920 gab es das Model C-20. Der Motor vom Typ 9 N leistete 50 PS. Das Fahrgestell hatte 330 cm Radstand. Als Aufbauten sind ein sechssitziger Tourenwagen, ein ebenfalls sechssitziger Sport und eine viersitzige Limousine überliefert.

1921 änderte sich nur die Bezeichnung in Model C-21.

1922 standen zwei Modelle im Sortiment. Sie unterschieden sich nur in der Motorleistung und im Neupreis. Das Model 60 hatte den bisherigen Motor mit 60 PS und das Model 70 einen Motor vom Typ 6 T mit 70 PS. Der Radstand blieb unverändert. Zur Wahl standen ein Roadster mit zwei Sitzen, eine Limousine mit vier Sitzen und ein Tourenwagen mit sechs Sitzen, jeweils auch in Sportausführung.

TIP! Create a list of items that you are going to need to bring along to college. It is time to take responsibility for what you need.
It is not easy to adjust to college. It is a big transition from high school to college life. Many students have a little trouble adjusting to their new life in college. If you fall into this category, this article is for you. Use the tips and advice to help ease your transition into the world of higher learning.
TIP! Always maintain a healthy diet. There is no myth behind the freshman 15.
Be sure to take lots of toiletries along to college. These are very important and will run out quickly with all of the times that you will be using them. When you can, purchase these in bulk to save more money over the long term.
TIP! Bring all of the materials that you need to the test site before the exam. Forgetting things such as a calculator during a big math test could place you at a big disadvantage.
Create a list of items that you are going to need to bring along to college. It is time to take responsibility for what you need. You can no longer rely on your parents help for everything. This is especially important if you'll be far from home.
TIP! Locate the admissions office and pay it a visit. Here is where you can find out about school-specific scholarships that might be appropriate for you.
Learn all you can about what grants and scholarships you can get that can assist you financially. A lot of people do not think about the extra help they can get! There are also many federal and state grants that do not need to be repaid.
TIP! Locate the gym on campus and make regular visits there or just take a daily walk and explore the campus. Both are great ways to get exercise and to meet new people.
As you prepare for an exam, take a few moments to double-check that you have all the materials you need. Forgetting things such as a calculator during a big math test could place you at a big disadvantage. There are various times when the instructor will not have extra writing utensils, so remember to pack what you need beforehand.
You can always purchase used books to save money. The cost of new books is high. Tuition is also very expensive, so you'll want to save money in any way possible. Search for used bookstores and online options. Used textbooks can often be bought at a considerable discount.
TIP! To avoid gaining a ton of weight while at college, pay attention to the type of foods that you eat. Avoid eating too many snacks, sweets and fast foods.
Be courteous and friendly with your teachers. Professors are intelligent and can guide you in the right direction. Don't be afraid to ask question or help out whenever possible. A positive relationship can help your grades and improve your learning capability.
Pick out classes that are challenging and interesting to you instead of the ones that people think are very easy. Putting yourself to the test can be fulfilling indeed. You learn more from harder classes and you make more ambitious friends.
TIP! Make sure you are aware of the campus security number. This ensures you can get help if you need it.
Make time each day for studying. There are many ways to fill your time in school, but you must focus on your education as well. Promise yourself that you'll free up an hour in order to study every day. Follow a schedule even if it is hard to remain motivated. It will ensure that you establish a routine.
Become familiar with the phone numbers for campus security. You can call campus security if you need a ride home, if someone is bothering you or if you are hurt. It's better to be safe than sorry.
TIP! Your classes aren't the be-all and end-all of college. Being proactive on campus can help to expand your horizons and interests.
Take detailed notes in all your classes. Taking notes helps cement the information in your brain. You will be more likely to recall the information come study time. Even if the things you're hearing are something you already know, make a habit out of writing everything down.
TIP! Never submit the first draft of a paper. Edit it over and over again.
Participate in an internship while in school. An internship provides you with real-life experience and a real chance to see what you can do after college. As an added bonus, you may get offered a job after you graduate from college. Check with your school's office to find out how you can get an internship, and then do it!
TIP! It takes time to make friends. Try arriving to class early on your first day.
As you can now see, college is a challenging transition. It's not always easy to start a new life, but the tips in the article above will help you accomplish your goals.

The "Death of Paper Coupons" Will Have to Wait
in Coupons In The News — March 15, 2017
Stop us if you've heard this one before – a revolutionary new technology will change couponing forever and make paper coupons completely obsolete!
In reality, the road to a paperless future is littered with defunct digital startups that promised to do just that. And now, another company's dreams of changing the way we use coupons have ended in disappointment.
Mobeam is no longer promising to "bring consumers one step closer to phasing out paper coupons entirely," as it once did. Instead, it has now sold off its technology to Samsung, and has left the coupon industry trying to make something out of the new mobile couponing standard it helped to create.
Mobeam launched back in 2010, pitching a complex solution to a problem that most couponers didn't know exists: Most retail scanners can't read a bar code off a mobile device. Camera-based scanners, like the ones at Target, can. But most retailers use red laser scanners, which can't.
That's left us with digital coupons that have to be loaded to loyalty accounts, or linked to your phone number, and can only be used at one specific store. Wouldn't it be better to be able to scan your phone at the checkout, to redeem mobile versions of paper manufacturer's coupons, that you can use anywhere you shop?
Some have tried. But the actual, legitimate solution turned out to be awfully complicated.
Waiting around for every retailer to upgrade to camera-based scanners wasn't an option. "Good luck getting every last mom and pop store to take on that kind of cost," Mobeam explained, "much less a chain with 7,000 stores!" So Mobeam reversed the process – instead of displaying a visible bar code on your cell phone screen for a scanner to read, Mobeam would send beams of light in a bar-coded pattern from the phone to the scanner.
Turning that concept into reality required a whole lot of infrastructure. And, to paraphrase Mobeam, "good luck getting every last cell phone manufacturer, consumer brand and the entire coupon industry to take on that kind of project."
First, Mobeam struck a deal with Samsung to embed its technology into Samsung cell phones. Then, it got brands like Procter & Gamble and General Mills to test mobile coupons using the new method. And it launched an app called Beep'nGo, to serve as a platform for delivering the new coupons.
Finally, in what it hailed as its biggest breakthrough last year, it worked with GS1 US, the administrator of the bar coding system, and the Joint Industry Coupon Committee (JICC), a group of retailer and manufacturer representatives who oversee coupon programs, to create a brand new category of bar codes for mobile devices. That would allow store scanners to differentiate between paper and paperless coupons, in order to ensure proper validation and reimbursement.
And with everyone on board – it all kind of fell apart.
None of Mobeam's manufacturer partners came up with concrete plans to offer coupons using the new method. Mobeam couldn't get past the hurdle that its mobile coupons had to be scanned individually – so if you had a lot of coupons, you would have to scroll through each bar code and swipe your phone for every one. Beep'nGo consisted mostly of store coupons and load-to-card coupons – the very types that Mobeam was looking to replace.
And dueling announcements from Mobeam and its new industry collaborators hinted at some tension between them. A month after Mobeam claimed credit for pushing through the new mobile couponing bar code standard, GS1 US and the JICC issued their own news release announcing that they had created the new standard – pointedly failing to mention Mobeam in their statement at all.
A few weeks ago, it all ended with a stark notice posted on Mobeam's website: "We're announcing that after 7 years of helping our customers and users create true mobile wallet experiences, we will be discontinuing Mobeam's services… We're very thankful for having the rewarding experience of sharing Mobeam with the world and are excited about the opportunities ahead."
Any opportunities to make something out of the groundwork that Mobeam had laid, now belong to its former industry partners. "We have agreed to acquire specific assets of Mobeam and plan to leverage the company's technology to further enhance our mobile payment services," a Samsung spokesperson said in a statement to Coupons in the News.
And now that the new bar code standard is out there, it's available for anyone to use. So the JICC is working on a set of industry guidelines before anyone starts running amok with mobile coupons that are ripe for abuse.
The last thing the industry needs, for example, are mobile bar codes that are easily replicated, abused or counterfeited, as at least one retailer has discovered. So the JICC "will continue to strongly discourage the presentation of coupon barcodes, physically displayed, on a mobile phone," the group says. Mobeam turned bar codes into beams of light without actually displaying them on the screen. A visible bar code, in contrast, could allow users to get a screen grab, save the coupon, share it, manipulate it, and use it again and again.
So "please do not apply the new standard until the standard is fully developed," the JICC is pleading with anyone looking to pick up where Mobeam left off.
Creating mobile coupons that meet industry standards is only part of the challenge, though. A mobile coupon provider would still need to come up with a way to ensure their bar codes can be read by all retail scanners, and improve upon Mobeam's method of scrolling through them one by one. And then they'd need to get major brands and retailers on board, when many are just fine with paper coupons and load-to-card digital coupons as they currently exist.
It's such a complex challenge, it almost makes you wonder what's so bad about sticking with the way things are now.
"Consumers and marketers continue to express a need and desire for more options," the JICC says. But with one potential revolutionary having fallen by the wayside, and the industry and consumers stubbornly clinging to their paper coupons, it appears that predictions of their imminent demise have once again proven to be premature.

UEFA Champions League Preview: Real Madrid Vs Liverpool
By Olamidotun Adeniyi On Apr 6, 2021
Real Madrid is set to welcome Liverpool for the first leg of their two-legged Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night at Alfredo Di Stefano stadium.
Spanish giants, Real Madrid will be looking to secure an advantage at their home ground ahead of the reverse fixture at Anfield on April 14.
Madrid are comfortably the most successful team in the history of the European Cup, winning the competition on 13 occasions, including four times in the last seven years, but they have been knocked out in the round of 16 in each of the last two years, losing to Ajax and Manchester City respectively.
Los Blancos (Real Madrid) were not regarded as one of the favourites for this competition at the start of the season, as they were not at their best in the group stages of this season's competition, winning just three of their six Group fixtures, but they managed to claim 10 points to finish at the top of the group.
The 13-time champions were tied with talented Italian outfit Atalanta BC in the round of 16, but it proved to be a relatively routine tie for Spanish side. They recorded a 1-0 away victory in the first leg before winning 3-1 in at home, to progress to the final eight of the competition courtesy of a 4-1 aggregate scoreline.
Real Madrid players celebrating after scoring a goal.
Real Madrid were 2-0 winners over Eibar on Saturday afternoon in the Spanish La Liga, extending their winning run to nine of their last 11 matches in all competitions. They are now within three points of La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid, who lost against Sevilla on Sunday night.
Zinedine Zidane's side beat Liverpool 3-1 in the final of the 2017-18 competition, where Egypt Forward Mohammed Salah was forced off with a shoulder injury in the first half. Los Blancos also overcame the English giant home and away in the group stages of the 2014-15 tournament.
Meanwhile, Liverpool put in one of their finest performances of the season away to Arsenal on Saturday evening, with Diogo Jota scoring twice in a 3-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.
The result at Emirates Stadium moved the Reds (Liverpool) into fifth position, just two points off the top-four, and they appear to be back on track, winning three straight games in all competitions.
Like Madrid, the Premier League Champions were drawn against dangerous opposition in the round of 16, with the Reds beating RB Leipzig 2-0 home and away to comfortably progress to the final eight of Europe's leading competition.
Liverpool celebrating a goal.
Liverpool have actually won 15 of their last 23 European fixtures but have only been victorious in two of their last 12 matches against Spanish opposition, suffering eight defeats in the process.
Only Real Madrid (13) and AC Milan (seven) have won more European Cups than the Reds, who are level with Bayern Munich on six, just above Barcelona, who have lifted the trophy on five occasions.
Sergio suffered an injury during the International break.
Meanwhile, Madrid will be without the services of inspirational captain, Sergio Ramos on Tuesday night due to a calf problem, while the match is also expected to come too soon for Dani Carvajal and Federico Valverde
Eden Hazard has made huge steps forward in his recovery from a muscular problem, though, and the Belgium international is expected to be a part of the squad for the Champions League fixture.
Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp will largely have the same squad available from Arsenal's match, with Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk all out.

On the other hand, sports activities cars are most frequently designed with only two seats. The differing needs for passenger potential and their luggage or cargo space has resulted in The supply of a big number of entire body models to fulfill person buyer necessities that come with, amongst Other folks, the sedan/saloon, hatchback, station wagon/estate, and minivan.
Based on exploration executed by Julian Allwood in the College of Cambridge, global Electrical power use could be greatly reduced by using lighter cars, and an average excess weight of five hundred kg (1,a hundred lb) continues to be explained for being perfectly achievable. In a few competitions including the Shell Eco Marathon, normal car or truck weights of 45 kg (ninety nine lb) have also been attained. These cars are only single-seaters (nevertheless falling throughout the definition of an automobile, While 4-seater autos tend to be more popular), Nevertheless they Nonetheless demonstrate the quantity by which car weights could continue to be minimized, and the following lessen fuel use (i.e. around a fuel usage of 2560 km/l).
The automotive industry patterns, develops, manufactures, marketplaces, and sells the entire world's motor cars. In 2008, more than 70 million motor vehicles, including cars and professional autos have been produced around the globe.
, In 2007, a complete of 71.nine million new vehicles were being sold worldwide: 22.nine million in Europe, 21.four million within the Asia-Pacific Location, 19.4 million within the United states of america and Canada, four.4 million in Latin The usa, 2.four million in the center East and 1.four million in Africa. The markets in North The united states and Japan have been stagnant, even though These in South America and also other portions of Asia grew strongly. Of the most important markets, China, Russia, Brazil and India saw quite possibly the most immediate development.
. About 250 million autos are in use in America. Throughout the world, there have been about 806 million vehicles and light vans about the highway in 2007; they burn more than 260 billion US gallons (980,000,000 m3) of gasoline and diesel gas yearly. The numbers are growing promptly, especially in China and India. From the view of some, city transportation methods based mostly within the automobile have proved unsustainable, consuming excessive Vitality, impacting the well being of populations, and providing a declining volume of service Even with growing investments. Lots of of those negative impacts tumble disproportionately on Individuals social teams who can also be least likely to very own and generate vehicles. The sustainable transport motion concentrates on methods to these difficulties.
In 2008, with swiftly mounting oil selling prices, industries such as the automotive market, are experiencing a mix of pricing pressures from Uncooked material expenses and alterations in purchaser purchasing habits. The field is additionally struggling with increasing exterior competition from the general public transportation sector, as customers re-Appraise their non-public motor vehicle usage. Approximately 50 % in the US's fifty-a single mild automobile vegetation are projected to completely shut in the approaching many years, with the lack of A further 200,000 Work within the sector, on top of the 560,000 Work opportunities dropped this ten years. Coupled with sturdy progress in China, in 2009, this resulted in China getting to be the most important automobile producer and market on this planet. China 2009 sales experienced greater to thirteen.six million, an important enhance from a million of domestic motor vehicle gross sales in 2000. Considering that then even so, even in China and various BRIC countries, the automotive creation is once again slipping.
. Cars are usually fitted with multiple sorts of lights. These include things like headlights, that are applied to illuminate the best way forward and make the car obvious to other consumers, so that the vehicle can be used during the night; in a few jurisdictions, daytime jogging lights; purple brake lights to point once the brakes are used; amber flip signal lights to indicate the transform intentions of the motive force; white-coloured reverse lights to light up the world at the rear of the vehicle (and show that the motive force will likely be or is reversing); and on some motor vehicles, added lights (e.g., facet marker lights) to boost the visibility of the vehicle. Inside lights on the ceiling of the vehicle are generally equipped for the motive force and travellers. Some vehicles even have a trunk light and, extra not often, an engine compartment mild.

It's very important to keep educating yourself to stay up to date and knowledgeable. Join home inspection organizations and meet other inspectors. Some home inspection associations have Errors and Omissions insurance offered to their members. Errors and Omissions insurance is not to be used as a safety net. Don't think that you can do bad inspections and not have to worry about paying any losses from lawsuits because you have E and O insurance. The purpose of E and O insurance is only in the event that you accidentally miss something on an inspection. It's also used in the event that you get an unreasonable client who sues you for no-good reason. It only takes a small number of bad and dishonest inspectors that get a few really big lawsuits against them to cancel the E and O insurance program for everyone. ASHI had this problem in the past with a prior insurance company that offered E and O insurance to ASHI members. Due to some really big claims against a few inspectors, the insurance company canceled the program. So don't ruin Errors and Omissions insurance for everyone else. Do good, thorough and honest inspections.
I'll give you a perfect example of what you don't want to do concerning E and O insurance. There was some Bozo in my area who jumped into the home inspection business without knowing anything about it. Anyway, this new home inspector must have figured that he could learn the business overnight. He was telling potential customers, while giving them price quotes over the phone, that they should hire him because he had insurance which guaranteed they wouldn't have to pay for any problems in the house that he missed. These customers would call me and ask me if my company carried E and O insurance. I said yes but then I asked them why. When they told me what this other inspector was telling people, I was amazed at the absurdity and ignorance of this new inspector.
Just because someone has Errors and Omissions insurance doesn't mean that their insurance company is going to send checks out to anyone who wants one! If an inspector or appraiser gets slapped with too many lawsuits, his insurance carrier will drop him like a bad habit. If that happens, then who is going to compensate all of his other clients who had totally useless home inspections or appraisals from this clown for their time and aggravation? Also, who would want to buy a house and then find out later about some major problems that should have been identified during the home inspection or appraisal? If the problems are overwhelming, then you wouldn't want to buy the house anyway, regardless of whether an insurance company was willing to compensate you for damages.
The best insurance policy and client referral potential is to do good, honest and thorough inspections. Each of your inspections should be about two to four hours long. The time will vary depending upon if it's a condo or a house and whether there's a septic and a well system on the property. I did an inspection once on a condominium, and the client told me that he was calling around for price quotes before hiring me. He told me that he actually had several inspectors tell him that their inspection would only take about fifteen to twenty minutes!! I could not believe it when I heard that. I couldn't even check the heating and electrical systems properly in that amount of time, let alone the entire interior and exterior! So don't be a "Walk-Thru" inspector by taking people's money and running. Do yourself and your clients a favor. Spend enough time to check everything out properly at the job site.
Home inspection organizations have annual national seminars. They also have classes and home inspection exams that are very good for keeping you on your toes and up to date. Your local home inspection association probably has monthly meetings with educational speakers and a newsletter that will help to keep you up to date. You can get education credits for taking home inspection classes and by going to the seminars and monthly meetings. Education credits are required for continuing membership in leading home inspection organizations to keep them professional associations of top-notch inspectors.
I highly recommend you take some of the appraisal courses needed to obtain a State appraisers license. They have a class called The Standards Of Professional Practice that they require appraisers to take. This class will really open your eyes to the ethical and honest conduct that's required and expected of anyone in the real estate profession. (Unfortunately, some people who take the course are either asleep or daydreaming when they're in the classroom! This you'll see from the war stories I mention in this book).
I became a State Certified Appraiser, as well as a full member of a leading home inspector organization. That's something you may want to consider. Being a State Certified Appraiser gives you much more credibility in a potential client's eyes. You will have an edge over the competition when a client is calling around for price quotes and comparing the inspection company services in your area. There are very, very, few people that are good home inspectors and appraisers. I mean top-notch home inspectors and State Certified appraisers and not some guy who tells you that he does both but has no extensive training in either.
Read books and talk to local builders, contractors and building department inspectors to keep informed and educate your mind. There are constantly new technologies being applied to housing construction that you need to keep on top of.
Take some knowledgeable local contractors out to lunch occasionally. This will enable you to find out about the new trends and technologies being used in new housing construction and operating systems. You may even be able to deduct it as a business expense! You'll be amazed at what you can learn from a contractor who specializes in a particular field. There are times when I come across something new that I haven't seen before during an inspection. When this happens, I'll call a contractor who installs or repairs that item and ask questions about it. People love to share their expertise with someone who's interested and willing to listen.
Take continuing education classes at local colleges. You may want to take a local building inspectors licensing course or test. This isn't required but it will give you more credibility and education. BOCA, which stands for the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, has a monthly newsletter if you join their organization. The newsletter may provide some helpful information.

Construction work is set to begin on the site of the former Bryn Awel hotel in Mold.
Anwyl Partnerships is building a development of 23 high quality apartments for housing provider Wales & West Housing.
It is under a 10-year contract partnership between the builder and housing association.
The partnership has enabled both teams to work together to successfully establish the local housing need and identify, purchase and develop the land, inclusive of design and planning, up to the point of construction.

Works to demolish the existing Bryn Awel hotel took place earlier in the year, whilst further site clearance works have been completed in preparation for construction work to start in January 2021.
The new apartments will be a welcome replacement for the dilapidated hotel, which had been left as an eyesore in the town.
In addition the construction work is set to bring employment and apprenticeship opportunities for people living within the community.
Tom Anwyl, managing director at Anwyl Partnerships, said: "It's rewarding to see work begin following an extensive period of careful planning and negotiation.

"Our relationship with Wales & West Housing is a true partnership in every sense of the word. We have discussed, scrutinised and analysed every element of the scheme with our partner, from concept to delivery.
"This is a fantastic development that creates much needed homes for local people, whist making use of brownfield land and bringing regeneration to the town."

Joanna Davoile, director of development at Wales & West Housing, said: "We are proud to be transforming this prominent site in Mold into much-needed affordable housing for the local community.
"The apartments are in a convenient location close to the town centre and will provide families with high quality, warm, energy efficient new homes."


For people in Singapore with eyesight disturbances, undergoing an eye surgery can help regain perfect or close-to-perfect vision. Among the most performed eyesight correction procedures in Singapore are Epi-LASIK and LASIK.
Epi-LASIK is a newer form of eye surgery and involves lasers much compared to LASIK. The new procedure was developed mainly to solve or avoid some complications involved in traditional eye surgery. Here are some more differences of the two eye surgery techniques.
1. The cornea is not cut. In Epi-LASIK, only the topmost layer of epithelium is removed and the cornea is preserved and uncut. Since cornea flap is not needed, and laser reshaping is done only at the corneal surface, there's no risk of flap dislodgement, cornea infection, flap wrinkles or inflammation. On the other hand, LASIK has to cut a layer of the cornea to create a flap, which is the number one cause of complications in post-operative period.
2. Preserve cornea structure. Since the newer method does not require corneal incision, less damage is done and no cornea weakening will happen after healing. Also, the excimer laser is applied only on the topmost surface of the eye. Because of the method's less invasive procedure, the strength, structure, and healthy tissues of the cornea are preserved and cornea-related complications are kept at bay.
3. Preparation for next operation, if needed. Unlike LASIK, where the cornea is cut to create a flap, Epi-LASIK causes less damage and doesn't waste healthy corneal tissues. The newer method also preserves the structure of the cornea which is necessary in case of a second upgrade or for any eye-related surgery, such as that for presbyopia.
4. Suitable for most patients. Epi-LASIK doesn't require cutting of cornea; therefore, even Singapore patients with thin corneas and rejected to undergo LASIK surgery can now have the chance to regain perfect eyesight. The latest method sculpts the curvature of the cornea only at the surface, therefore it is suitable even for people with very thin corneas.
5. A better option for Singapore people with high myopia. For people with high myopia, more corneal tissue will have to be used for laser sculpting, and because of this, many Singapore patients with high myopia are rejected or denied from taking LASIK by Dr Tony Ho in Singapore surgery.
However, in Epi-LASIK, creating a cornea flap is no longer needed. Reshaping of the cornea with the use of excimer laser can be done right at the topmost layer of the cornea, leaving the eye with healthy cornea tissue after the procedure. This simply means that people in Singapore with high level of myopia can now have a chance to correct their vision.
6. Enjoy active lifestyle after surgery. With the new eye surgery technique, many Singapore patients with active lifestyle have resumed their activities weeks, or even just days after their surgery. There's no need to worry about flap dislodgement when rubbing the eyes or engaging in physical contact activities, such as martial arts and boxing. Sky diving and scuba diving can even be performed without any more worries or hold backs.


There seems to be a pattern of clinics attempting to fluff their results by posting wet before pics on the board, and then posting the after results with dry pics, and at misleading angles .
» with dry pics, and at misleading angles .
i agree, i doubt hairsite has time to monitor that though.
if enough people call them on it with BIG BOLD FONT everytime they do this i think they'll get the picture. maybe copy and paste the same message as to why it's misleading.
nobody likes to be duped…it's already hard enough by only judging by pictures themselves without seeing it in person.
Hey Hangin, be careful, lol, some clinics shills will report you to hairsite moderator to try and get you banned for pointing out the inequities of their photos.
The reasons are clear to anyone with half a brain why the clinics post before wet and after dry pictures; and in addition, the reasons are clear why the before pictures are at many times taken from a birds eye top view, and then the after photos are not taken from that same view.
It's kind of hilarious that those shills think people are that stupid.
Well said hangin. I hold the better clinics to a higher standard. I can appreciate when photos are taken by patients Vs. Taken by the clinic.
It's not only the issue with posting DRY before-pics. So many pics and videos I see here that make me want to puke! The pics look like they're taken in the back room dungeon with candles lit…wtf…these are multi-million dollar clinics and they can't afford some lights or a decent camera? Same with videos. I can show more lighting with a $90 cell phone. What do they do, do they actually turn off a few lights? Same with the angles photos are taken, to someone who knows the difference it clearly shows deception.
The list goes on forever. It's NOT only where photos are wet in the before pics. It's 90% of the photos from EVERY clinic that shows some sort of trickery. At least with wet before photos you can say "oh hang on here, the before pics were wet. Obviously". What about the dim lighting, angles, and other tricks where most people would not be able to tell of the "tricks" used. Nobody can ever stop these pictures or videos from being produced the way they are, but it's important to be informed about them. That being said, I'd rather see a a wet before-photo than any other "hard to detect" methods used. Atleast I'll know what's up.
Actually, they should post wet as well dry pictures before and after + video of wet after. Thats the best way.
