Q: Evidence in race discrimination cases can be hard to come by. A lot of times you will not know why an employer made the decision they did. However, you should generally look for the following:  Race-related statements made by the employer. These statements may be overt racial slurs or may be hidden code words. Comparative treatment evidence. This is any evidence that helps you show that you were treated differently than similarly situated people of a different race. Relevant background facts. Racial discrimination does not occur in a vacuum. Look for evidence of how the employer has treated other employees. You might find a pattern of race-related attitudes or a poor work environment. An example of this may include evidence that the employer allows their employees to make racial jokes without repercussions. Relevant personnel policies. If the employer follows a relevant personnel policy, it may be evidence that there was no racial motive. However, if that employer did not follow an applicable policy, it may be evidence there was a racial motive. The decision maker's race. Statistical evidence. To find the evidence you are looking for, start by contacting potential witnesses. These people could be current employees, friends of the employer, or the employer herself. When you talk with witnesses, especially the employer, you and your attorney need to gauge their credibility. If the employer's explanation does not seem believable, the evidence of racial discrimination is much stronger than if the employer is believable. Credibility can be undermined if an explanation does not match the facts or if it is vague. Request documents or get access to documents that you think will help your case. You should, at the very least, obtain the following:  Your personnel file. These documents will include your application and any notes the interviewer took; any internal documents discussing your application; your employment contract; your job description; performance reviews; award; and letters of reference. Documents relating to damages. Get your salary information, including fringe benefits, so you can calculate the amount of damages you should be awarded. Try to find W-2s, 1099s, 401(k) plans, and health insurance information. Party statements. These documents may take the form of emails, internal memoranda, notices of termination, meeting notes, and exit interview notes. Rules, policies, procedures, handbooks, and manuals. You will use these documents when the employer tries to justify their actions. For example, if an employer justifies their actions saying your performance reviews were sub-par, you will want to know what procedure they have in place for performance reviews, and whether those procedures were followed. Other charges and suits. You may be able to find evidence of past lawsuits against the employer you are investigating. If there are cases out there, you may be able to get information from those cases. One great example would be copies of depositions.
A: Determine what to look for. Contact witnesses. Collect documents.

Q: A bombshell blowout is characterized by its voluminous and sleek, yet effortlessly wild and imperfect appearance. Use a comb to divide your hair into at least four manageable sections.  Part your hair down the center of your head, from the top of your forehead to the nape of your neck. Part your hair horizontally from the top of your left ear to the top of your right ear. Twist and secure the two top sections of your hair with a duck bill clip. In addition to a blow dryer, you will need a medium or large round brush. Beginning with the left or right bottom section, grab a subsection of hair near the roots with a round brush. As you pull the brush down through the hair, the blow dryer follows over the brush. Repeat this process throughout your mane until each section is completely dry. Always point the blow dryer's nozzle down to prevent frizz and promote shine. Squirt a few drops of shine serum onto your fingertips. Comb your fingers through the ends of your hair to distribute the serum. Do not apply the shine serum to your roots—this will cause your hair to appear oily. Blend the sections of your blowout by rough drying your hair. Point the nozzle of your blow dryer up towards your head. As you blast your hair with heat, comb through your hair with your fingers. Complete your effortlessly wild and voluminous blowout by smoothing out and separating the ends of your hair.
A: Divide your hair into sections. Blow dry your hair. Apply a smoothing serum. Rough dry your hair.

Q: Many attackers look for individuals who are distracted and not aware of what’s happening around them. Avoid staring at your phone while you’re walking or on the bus, and instead, keep your eyes on the landscape and people around you. This can help you identify any potentially dangerous situations.  It’s okay if you have your phone out or nearby—that could even be helpful if you need to call for help. Just don’t use it to the detriment of not knowing what’s going on around you. Pay attention to how people are acting, if someone is following or staring at you a lot, and any potential escape routes you could take in case something were to happen. Even if the person in the car seems kind, confused, or lost, don’t step up to an open window. If you can, cut across the street or behind some houses to get away from an unknown person who is trying to talk to you.  Common ruses that would-be-abductors use are asking for directions or pretending to be looking for a lost pet. They assume that people, children especially, will take pity on them and want to be helpful. If this car circles back around to you again, try going to a neighbor’s house or calling your parents or the police. If you can, take note of the license plate number. You could also turn and walk in the opposite direction if you think a car is following you. If they also turn around, you know there is a potentially dangerous situation at hand. When someone is following you on foot, it’s important to get to the safety of other people or to at least get far enough away from them that they can’t easily grab you. The main goal is to prevent them from getting close enough to touch you or to coordinate an abduction with a second person waiting nearby in a car. Generally, there is more safety in numbers. Try ducking into a store or crossing over to a busier street. Abductors are less likely to strike when their victim is surrounded by other people. If you’re out shopping after dark, park as close to the front of the store as you can, and try to get a parking spot beneath a lamp post. If you are walking somewhere after dark, try to stay in well-lit areas where there are other people around.  If you’re at a store, you could also ask an employee to escort you to your car. If you carry mace with you, make sure you know how to use it. If it lies forgotten at the bottom of your bag, it won’t help you if you’re attacked. Have an agreed-upon phrase that only you and your family members know. If someone approaches you and says they were sent by your parents to give you a ride home for whatever reason, they must be able to give you the code word. If they don’t know it, run away and find other adults.  This code word or phrase should be something simple, yet unique, to your family that a stranger couldn’t easily guess. Even if the person approaching you knows your name and the names of your other family members, you still need to ask for the code. It’s possible they learned your names some other way and don’t actually know your family. If you feel that a person is off or they’re giving you weird vibes, trust that feeling. If you feel uncomfortable in any kind of situation, it’s okay to leave or ask someone to come get you. Attackers can use the promise of people being polite or afraid of being rude to their advantage, so resolve that you will trust your gut and keep yourself safe, even if that means you have to be “rude.” Our intuition often comes from a primal place that is meant to identify potential threats to our safety.
A:
Look up and around while you walk so you aren’t distracted. Move away from slow-moving cars that come up alongside you. Cross the street or go up to another person if someone is following you. Walk and park in well-lit areas when you’re outdoors at night. Ask for your family’s “code word” if the person claims to be a friend. Trust your intuition and don’t put being polite above your own safety.
