Monero Addresses Cheatsheet
By: Andrea Barontini
Tags: Cryptonote, Infographics, Cheatsheet, Ed25519, Monero

Monero’s commitment to privacy makes studying it very instructive regarding advanced cryptographic basics, techniques, primitives. Apart from the nowadays ubiquitous Elliptic Curves algebra, you can find a number of “trendy” or “foundational” topics:

Zero Knowledge Proofs (I guess lately it’s a cool topic even if you aren’t a Zcash guy ;-) ) in Bulletproof flavour, to avoid XMRs creation “from scratch”

Pedersen Commitments for Confidential Transactions to hide amounts, at the core of Mimblewimble as well

Ring Signatures to obfuscate payer among a set of UTXOs

One-time Stealth destination addresses built by payer’s initiative through a Diffie-Hellman-like non-interactive exchange with the payee

Stealth addresses… yes, addresses, the contact point between user experience and inner details, a natural starting point to go deeper. Coming from Bitcoin experience Monero addresses are not an easy topic, so I have tried to summarize them. My schema doesn’t permit to see the “big picture” you can get reading Mastering Monero and it’s not so mathematically detailed as Zero to Monero: its strength, if any, is its focus on relations between the various keys, addresses, scopes (private/public, spend/view, on-chain/off-chain, payer’s/payee’s)… all on a single page cheatsheet. I think it could be a virtual closing table after reading the books I have cited earlier, to put together all the things you have learned about addresses and consolidate their knowledge.

10 Tips For Better Infographic Designs
By: Irreverent Soul

info-that

Infographics are a great way to share information and data with readers. They’re fun to look at and can be a great way to communicate information quickly.

Here are 10 essential infographic design tips:

Design for the web

The first thing we need to establish is that infographics are for the web. We’re not designing for print. Print infographics can be beautiful and clever, but they tend to include a lot of unnecessary information. Leave out information to help the design work better online.

Use a grid system

Use a grid system to organize the design, but don’t be too rigid. The grid makes it easier to see the infographic as a whole and see how all the elements fit together.

Space things out

Even though the design is going to be seen online, make it easier to digest by giving it some breathing room. The infographics will be seen on a variety of different screens, so be cautious when spacing elements out.

Keep it simple

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Here are some examples of infographics that get the point across in a simple way.

Use contrast

The color scheme plays a huge role in the design of an infographic. Contrast and color of the text and background are important to keep in mind when designing an infographic.

Keep it consistent

Consistency is key with infographic design. Make sure there’s a uniform color scheme, font, and font size throughout.

Add texture

Adding texture to the infographic will make it more interesting. Add a texture overlay to a background to create an interesting effect, or add texture to an infographic element like a chart or diagram.

Keep it simple

While you can use a bunch of different infographic styles, keep it simple. Don’t make things too complicated and overcomplicated.

Test it

This is the most important infographic design tip. Test it. Use the infographic on a variety of different screens to make sure it works on different devices. A lot of infographics look great on a desktop screen but don’t translate well on mobile.

Keeping Concrete At Good State In Winter (Infographic) — Ram Jack OKC Cindy Stacy ·Nov 6, 2020

Concrete lifting is a process for modifying a concrete surface when that is uneven. When you want to protect the concrete surface, do not pile snow on the same spot as it may cause frost wedging as well as erosion. Do not use rock salt on the concrete to melt snow but you must use de-icer. Cracks can be risky for winter weather as snow accumulation and melting can only expand the cracks. If the cracks are repaired by concrete lifting, costly repair ahead can be prevented.

Modern Slavery as understood through interactive data visualizations
By: Chase Merwin
Tags: Idvs, Human Trafficking, Infographic, Databases, Aggregators

For my IDV analysis, I chose a database of international anti-human trafficking organizations dedicated to combatting what people today consider “modern slavery”.

The Interactive Map for Business of Anti-Human Trafficking Organizations offers the reader multiple choices in narrowing their search for anti-human trafficking resources, ranging from types of institutions involved in identifying and reducing human trafficking to specific issues different institutions specialize in. Listed below are the four categories offered and what each of these categories mean:

Type — “Search for organizations based on type of institution” Issue — “Search for organizations based on the type/s of issues they work on” Geography — “Search for organizations according to their geographical focus” Industry — “Search for organizations according to their industry of focus”

Clicking through the various categories, one can easily and quickly identify specified resources without having to search exhaustively through the Web.

When large amounts of data are aggregated in one spot without visualizations and graphics, sifting through information can be daunting at best. Databases are best suited to interactive data visualizations because of these large amounts of data and sources.

IDVs can also benefit storytellers by serving as digestible sources for their readers because it does the heavy lifting of singling out specific information for them. It is then on the storyteller and in turn, the reader, to read and internalize the information they need.

IDVs are great resources, especially for organizations involved in combatting human trafficking worldwide. Information surrounding the sex trade can be difficult to aggregate, given solutions to these pervasive issues are oftentimes debated and not universally agreed-upon. Utilizing IDVs, global anti-trafficking organizations are better able to offer their resources to people in need as well as educate those who are unaware there is a wealth of information available at their finger tips.

This database is a great example of interactive data visualizations done right. Though not as flashy or “visual” as some IDVs can be, this IDV gets the job done by making the search for information simple and intuitive. Due to the nature and widespread presence of human trafficking, this website demonstrates the news values of impact, proximity and prominence.

Millions of people worldwide are affected either directly or indirectly by human trafficking. Thus, having this resource to quickly identify available resources and organizations specifically involved in combatting human trafficking is instrumental in doing just that.
Colour Psychology Quick Reference Cards
By: Colin Shanley
Tags: Colour, Colour Psychology, Reference, Infographics, Psychology

Show me the green, because I’m down and feeling blue. If you do, I will be in the pink. If you don’t — either because of that streak of yellow down your back or because of your black heart — I’ll see red. And by the time I’m done with you, you’ll be waving the white flag.

Did you know that wedding dresses used to be green and not white? Why? Because green is associated with fertility and growth. And back in the day — that being the 15th Century — procreation was considered more important than chastity, which is symbolised by the purity of white. And black has always been associated with funerals, of course. In the West, that is — in Arabic countries the colour is white, and in some countries in the Orient purple is the colour of mourning.

Colour psychology is an expansive subject and far from a definitive one. Everyone in history, from Aristotle to Jonny Ive, has pontificated on the meaning of colour. Freud believed in the relevance of colours in dreams, and Jung believed they were psychic inclinations of our subconscious.

There are many contributory factors involved in associating colours and meanings — from neurology, to our own cumulative life experience. Colour also plays a role in art, religion, ceremony, politics, tribalism and war. There are clear cultural divisions — culturally significant colours are by no means universal. That said, the global economy is flattening those differences at a rapid rate. For example, white wedding dresses are now commonplace in China (as opposed to the orthodox red). Cultural differences flatten still further in the digital world.

In this article I present some ready-reference infographics of the main traits and associations for the 11 colours of the Basic Colour Terms (BCT), covering:

Warm colours (red, orange, yellow)

Cool colours (green, blue, purple)

Neutral colours (pink, brown, white, grey, black)

If you keep these to hand you will certainly be in a position to better target an audience with your designs, evoke the desired emotions in them, and even improve conversion rates.

3 ideas

Weed

While evidence pointing to mourners on a remote mountain plateau in Central Asia that burned cannabis for its intoxicating fumes on a remote mountain plateau some 2500 years ago. Today, more than 150 million people regularly smoke cannabis, making it one of the world’s most popular recreational drugs. And while its psychedelic enchantment is well known, Its medical benefits are just recently coming to light.

In fact most common use for medical marijuana in the United States is for pain control, alleviating the chronic pain that plagues millions, especially as they age with no side effects.

Another area of research on its use is for PTSD. Most veterans who return from combat zones are usually plagued with this disorder, and many veterans and even their therapists report drastic improvement after treatments.

With so many practical uses why cant it be legalized completely and regulated

Black Power

The term black power isn’t a new found term , it actually dates back to 1954 when Richard wright’s non-fiction Black power was published, and also in 1965,when the Lowndes County Freedom Organization (LCFO) used the slogan Black Power for black people for its political candidates.

It is usually used by, but not exclusively by people of African/African American decent. It is a revolutionary movement that was birth from the wanting of safety and self sufficiency while celebrating culture and emphasizing racial pride.

Cheetah Extinction

It seems that even the fastest land animal on earth, the cheetah can out run extinction. Once running free on the plains of much of Africa and most of Asia, they are now confined to 6 African countries i.e Angola, Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and just an isolated pocket in Asia.

And while they are poached for bush meat, the major reason for their gradual decline being Repurposed lands. People have repurposed the land that cheetahs used to prowl for agriculture and livestock uses. They are also killed by farmers if perceived as a threat to their livestock, it is rare that they go after domesticated animals though.

Big Idea: What is Black Power?

This will serve to inform people of other races the story and importance of the Black power Ideology to a person of color.

5 sentence draft

Black power is knowing who you are. Its about rising above disparities. Its about knowing where you come from and being proud of it. Its about standing tall. And it is about looking out for each other.

I’ve got many shoes, tights, pants, and skirts, but I’m never keen on how to match everything together. For example, can you wear fishnets with flats and jeans? What about fishnets and a miniskirt? Any recommendations on how to match the right pair of heels, stockings, and pants (or skirts) is appreciated.

Thank you,

Lydia F.

INFOGRAPHIC: How COVID-19 has affected researchers in Japan and Korea
Tags: Infographics, South Korea, Japan, Covid 19, Research

By Mriganka Awati

We have now spent more than half of 2020 dealing with the COVID-19 crisis and are still trying to assess its full impact and long-term implications. In scholarly circles, as elsewhere, an atmosphere of uncertainty seems to prevail. It has been difficult to keep a finger on the pulse when it comes to the effect of the pandemic on researchers and their work.

So, Editage undertook an initiative to find out how the pandemic has affected researchers in two important research-producing countries: Japan and Korea. They disseminated survey questionnaires on the impact of COVID-19 to researchers from both these countries who had used our services in the months preceding the survey.

The infographics below show the findings from each country. The results represent 241 responses from Japan and 299 responses from Korea received over 4 to 5 days from the date when the survey was disseminated.

Finally, to understand how we can support researchers in a crisis situation like this, Editage asked respondents to share views on what they expect from us. This is what some authors said: (1) continue to offer the same support and same service quality and (2) provide discounted author services

Here is what we have done in response to this:

Continued support: As an organization, we ensured that pandemic-induced chaos and lockdowns did not affect our ability to serve researchers at a time when they would appreciate our support most. Even with nearly our entire workforce being compelled to work from home, our robust systems have helped us continue business as usual so far. Pro-bono editing for COVID-related research: Early this year, we began to offer author services free of cost for researchers working on manuscripts related to COVID-19. Read more about this here. A large research repository on COVID-related research: Finally, a few researchers told us that they would like a place where all information and latest developments relevant to the pandemic are made available. We have good news on this front too. We launched a one-stop platform for all researchers who need access to literature and other resources relevant to COVID-19. Check it out!

There were other suggestions on multiple other topics that we plan to consider carefully in the near future.

We understand that our surveys may not capture all possible situations researchers worldwide are facing at this time. Nevertheless, we would like the global research community to know that however COVID-19 has affected them, we will be around to understand their challenges, listen to their needs, and offer all the support we can.

Big Idea

The topic I am deciding to move forward with is “How to Succeed at Zoom University.” Based on statistics and personal experience, the fast and forced change to online college learning has been difficult for a lot of people and has even seemed impossible to some. My position on this topic is that online college education does not have to be impossible. It can be made easier with organization and a few tips that I’ve come up with. My intended audience for this infographic would be current and incoming college students. The transformation that I’d like viewers to go through is one of determination. I want my audience to gain confidence from my infographic and I want them to feel inspired to use my tips to make the most of their schooling!

Script

First Draft:

Let’s be honest… college doesn’t look the same as it used to be, and for a lot of students, it seems impossible — but it doesn’t have to be! First, invest in some organizational tools to keep track of the work or try setting reminders on your phone so you don’t miss class or a deadline! When you’re in class, try keeping your camera on — it’ll keep you accountable. Finally, to help you focus, set up a work space separate from where you relax. Try these tricks and they might just help you succeed at Zoom University!

Second Draft:

Let’s be honest… college doesn’t look the same as it used to — it’s challenging but NOT impossible! With online learning there are 2 big obstacles: timeliness and focus. If you struggle with timeliness… invest in organizational tools to keep track of your work. You can also set reminders on your phone so you don’t miss class or a deadline. If you struggle with focus… set up a work space separate from where you relax. And remember, keeping your camera on keeps you accountable! Congratulations! You’re on your way to success at Zoom University!

Payment Ecosystem

Tags: Payments, Infographics, Venture Capital, Fintech

My name is Anh Nguyen. I have 10+ years of experience in finance from FP&A, operation finance, corporate VC, corporate finance advisory and audit at Big 4. I’ve worked and studied in three continents. A proud dual citizen without any internal cultural conflict.

I’m fond of business news and conducting primary due diligence on companies for personal investment portfolio; because I find most of news and research reports tend to provide favorable news to the management. Companies that are discussed unfairly favorably, without critical analysis, attract my research. Learning and understanding dynamics of both credit and equity markets drive me; usually credit analysis is more conservative and thus would shed a fair view on companies and economies (that, however, is different from credit rating business!).

I happened to love infographics as a way to quickly grab new knowledge and also to visualize my flow of understanding of certain topics. Writing down in words helps me sort and form thoughts in a logical flow. Once done so, I like making visuals on certain topics, esp. work flow, ecosystem, to summarize the key elements I have to retain on the top of my head given the vast knowledge out there I want to capture.

There are already many posts detailing the significance of payments. Here, I want to capture my understanding of payment ecosystem in one infographic page.

Over the last two years, I have shifted my focus from consumer to TMT. I particularly was fond of researching brokerage and payment industries. I find there is a commonality across these fields and marketplace and retail, especially in the times of Big Data. My experience with which I conducted several studies on banking and financial products definitely helped me with analyzing financials and incorporating compliance requirements into these regulated industries; it equips me with a view at 30,000 feet. I will share some of my research results in following posts.

How Rujuta Diwekar Started
By: Vaishali Verma
Tags: Rujuta Diwekar, Infographics, Nutrition, Food, Visualization

Rujuta Diwekar is one of India’s leading nutritionist. She has been working hard to bring plant grown foods on our plates rather than those manufactured in plants. She is also continuously shattering some of our concepts about the right and wrong of eating foods.

As a child, she wanted to take the road less traveled ans so she did. How did such a person come to be?

How Rujuta Diwekar Started

How did she start? Just by having deep rooted beliefs into the traditional way of eating foods that she inherited from her family. Her grandparents further cemented this concept so much so that in spite of all current food and dieting trends she chooses to rely on her database about the right and wrong of foods.

Rujuta and Studies

At a very young age she showed massive interest in sports. She decided to make this her career and did not let her graduation in Chemistry mess with it. She did a teachers training course from a yoga academy and went on to study Sports and Nutrition.

It was while studying there that she realized how we choose to blindly follow the Western concepts throwing our own teachings and heritage out of the window. And she decided to reverse it. It meant re-teaching the younger Indian generations about the culture and heritage that this country has to offer.

Rujuta and her Gym

Urja — started as a local gym down the corner. But her value add was nutrition and lifestyle counseling.

The simplicity and the easy-to-follow plans made her famous which in-turn gave her her first influential contact — Anil Ambani.

Rujuta and Bollywood

Her work also made David Dhawan’s wife — Karuna Dhawan — come to her for counseling. And this marked her beginning in Bollywood. Coaching a few budding actors — Kareena came her way to ask help to loose weight. And the rest is history.

Rujuta and Books

She understood the need to reach out beyond influencing people to the general public. She choose book as a medium — partly her idea and partly Kareena Kapoor’s who convinced her to pen all her works, diet plans and bring them to the general public. With the number of books she has authored, we know she has done a good job there.

Rujuta is tirelessly doing her bit to promote Indian Foods and make us healthier and fitter. She also has big names and big results to her name.

Now we can ponder if getting in touch with our own foods and health was ever a good idea.

Tags: Influencers, Influencer Marketing Tips, Infographics, Influencer Marketing

I couldn’t find an up-to-date infographic on influencer marketing, so I went ahead and created one with a bunch of stats and metrics. I hope you find it useful for your marketing mix consideration.

It’s one of the most effective marketing channels if executed right. It’s cost-effective since you can re-share it in almost any other channel and it delivers direct impact for your brand awareness and engagement.

If you break down social media engagement, it consists of four elements that build on each other:

Validation Sharing Asking & Answering Questions Exploring

So if the ultimate goal is to achieve sales, you first need to boost engagement, which in return turns users into brand advocates who not only purchase your product, but ideally convince others to buy as well — on your behalf.

So without further due, I’ll present you my infographic below. Please share your thoughts and let me know what’s missing.

Leveraging the Power of Music to Connect With Asian Americans & Beyond

Asian Americans have a deep connection and appreciation for their culture that transcends generations. Asian American culture is hard to define since this group is so diverse, but they come together in their shared love of food, fashion, and one universal cultural connector: music.

“There is no doubt that the power of music can offer comfort, inspiration, and create community. Pandora conducting the Asian American User Study with Intertrend further reinforces that. As we continue to see people of all ethnicities groove to the beat of K-Pop, Bollywood, C-Pop and Japanese Techno, it is hard to find a more powerful cultural connector than music that transcends all racial barriers.”

Today was the hardest day for me. I am a young 17 year old girl. I get hurt very easily and take everything to heart. I love my family and I try so hard to get that love back. But today I had to say goodbye to my dads house. I am really sad because all I want him to do is care and he doesn’t and I care so much. I packed all of my stuff ended up being a whole garbage bag and two smaller bags I was packing up all of my stuff and then all of a sudden I dropped my lotion and broke my glass vanity and it make him mad. I didn’t mean to and I feel bad. Well I got my stuff and drove home and did redid my stuff at my house.

CINDY BAKES THROUGH A DIVORCE

The Most AMAZING Banana Bread Recipe

I recently had the most intense hankering for good old fashioned banana bread. Sure it’s not the fanciest dessert, or the prettiest, and it’s made from old, rotting fruit, but guess what, Keith? Just because something’s gotten old doesn’t mean you throw it away! Just because the bananas don’t look as good as they did when you and the bananas first met doesn’t mean you get younger bananas, Keith. You think you’re the only banana that I could get? Oh, let me tell you something, I could have had plenty of other bananas. But I settled for your weird curve.

This banana bread recipe will make you say “yum” out loud, even if you do find yourself suddenly living alone. It’s the perfect amount of moist, a word my ex-husband hated and a sensation with which I was unfamiliar for MOST OF THE MARRIAGE, KEITH.

So throw on your apron and let’s get messy!

INGREDIENTS:

2 C flour

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

½ tsp ginger (shoutout to the 27-year-old redheads who steal husbands, no I don’t have one specific person in mind)

1 tsp cinnamon (should be strong and present, like Keith’s halitosis, which I promised him I wouldn’t mention in the blog, but, well, we both made some promises that we never intended to keep, didn’t we?)

1 tsp vanilla (ok to sip if you’ve run out of wine)

½ C butter at room temperature (finally I’m allowed to touch the fucking thermostat)

2 eggs (meanwhile menopause is knocking at my door)

¾ C brown sugar (I’m not even mad you were at the strip club those nights you said you were working late — I’m mad you lied to me about it.)

⅓ C Greek yogurt (I figured out eHarmony and matched with a man who looks like John Stamos, by the way)

1 C chocolate chips

4 ripe bananas (bananas who know what they want and how to advocate for their own pleasure.)

DIRECTIONS:

In one bowl, mash the bananas. Pretend it’s his face. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon together. Realize that you’ve been compartmentalizing your entire life, that you were never really fully yourself in front of him. How can he be blamed for never seeing all of me, when I never showed him? In the banana bowl, add the butter, eggs, brown sugar, yogurt, and vanilla. Mix together until it’s a mess that even the most expensive couples therapist can’t fix! Add the dry to the wet. Add half the chocolate chips. Deeply identify with the other half left behind. Pour the mixture into a greased bread pan. Sprinkle the top with the rest of the chocolate chips and bake at 350 for an hour. Enjoy! And don’t be afraid to say, “YUM!”
In Denial…

In Denial…

The first few months after my divorce were spent in denial. I couldn’t imagine that I, Adedoyin was back in my parents' house. It all felt like a dream, from the moment my ex father in law drove me to the park on that faithful Thursday in the month of February, 2019, up to the time I got to Ibadan and went to meet my mother in her school.

It was a bit surreal when my own mother told me that I had put her to shame and that I was not allowed to stay in her house - my whole life crumbled right in front of me. I didn’t even remember that my son, strapped to my back, hadn’t eaten all day. Hot tears trickled down my eyes, I managed to talk, amidst the tears, I remember telling my mother that the people that I know being called mothers would protect their children before anything and how this was different in her case. Her eyes were red and dangerous, I knew right there that I was on my own.

The week after my ex parents in law came to give the final dissolution, I didn’t feel divorced, I denied it. Mum had finally agreed to house me at this point and our neighbours thought that I had come to visit, I’m sure that they were surprised because the visit was getting longer.

I remember people asking me about my husband and I would confidently tell them that he was fine, I even told some that he was out of the country (I wish him well and do hope that he gets that PHD scholarship he’s always wanted, maybe that would give him peace).

For months, I had nightmares, I would even pick my phone to call the man I married just to ask if that was what he wanted, of course he never picked. Ademola was probably angry or he felt that there was nothing for us to talk about.

I can’t remember the first time I openly admitted to an outsider that I was divorced, stupid me even had one of my wedding bands sitting pretty on my finger at a point, maybe it was my way of dealing with what life had thrown at me. I was in total denial, very few family knew how bad I was hurting, the few that knew I was divorced were surprised at how ‘strong’ I was.

‘Strong,’ the word that he always used to qualify me anytime I complained about being choked. ‘Mariam is strong, she will understand,’. I am far from being strong, I am human and I know what it is to have your world stripped away from you.

I think that the day I stopped being in denial and finally accepted that I am divorced and a single mother of one was when I replied to that Zikoko’s thread. I remember that Goodman was the first to call to ask if I was fine, I was panting, I was scared, very scared that I had let out my little secret out there.

Getting to finally admit that life had happened to me came with a big relief, it meant that I no longer had to tell any lies about my ‘abroad husband' or scared that people would see me as less. It still feels strange that I can now boldly tell people that there is no husband anywhere and that I have a boy that I absolutely adore. I am out of denial and I am at peace with myself.

7 Steps to Make your Finances Feminist

Did you know the fastest growing population of people experiencing homelessness are women over 50?

I started taking my finances seriously after my parents split up. My mum and dad had one asset between them. One house and not enough room for all their frustration and anger to reside. Two super accounts and not enough money to survive living in Sydney.

That moment was a wake up call.

I did not ever want to rely on someone elses’ good graces to live. I never wanted to be at the mercy of social security (if that even exists when my generation retires). I certainly never wanted to stay in a loveless, miserable marriage simply because my financial security was at stake.
The #1 thing divorce judges want people to know.

If you’re thinking about a divorce, then you probably want to know what the judge is going to think. That’s natural, of course. It’s your divorce, and you are focused on your own needs.

But when you go to court, the judge is looking down on you — literally.

Cloaked in an anachronistic robe, and likely sitting behind an equally anachronistic mound of wood known as the “bench,” the judge has the power to determine you future.

As you sit there, you might be wonder how often you will get to see your kids, how much child support you will pay (or receive) and — of course — how much your lawyer will cost.

As a divorce lawyer who handles dozens of cases per year, I’ve noticed that there is one thing that judges really want you to know. And it’s the following:

Judges do not want to decide your case.

In other words, they don’t want you to fight your case in court. They want you to come to an agreement. In fact, I’ve heard various judges flatly tell both spouses, “If I decide your case, both of you will be unhappy.”

But why?

To understand more about this, I’d like to explain a bit about my background, and the major categories of cases I handle.

As an Illinois divorce lawyer, I’ve handle complex cases involving psychiatrists and millions of dollars. I discuss topics for those types of cases at my firm website. . . topics like financial disclosure, cross-examination, and dividing marital assets.

However, early on in my career I realized that vast majority of people could probably benefit from an uncontested divorce. As a divorce lawyer in Illinois, I know that the vast majority of cases are “uncontested;” in other words, those cases are amicable and the parties are in agreement from the beginning.

So as much as I like cross-examining people — and making them sweat on the stand — I knew that I should devote substantial efforts to representing people in uncontested divorces (in Illinois, where I practice). I even published a website focusing on this area, where I offer to represent clients for a flat fee (to make the cost affordable, and predictable).

In an uncontested divorce, the spouses decide the terms of the divorce — not the judge.

Because an uncontested divorce is by agreement, it is the fastest way to get divorced.

And an uncontested divorce is relatively affordable — even using a divorce lawyer — because the scope of the divorce is limited.

Here’s one thing I’ve noticed about people who want to fight in their divorce — they often change their minds once they find out how much it will cost.

So, what do divorce judges want you to know?

You will be better off if you and your spouse agree upon the terms of your divorce — instead of letting the judge decide.

So if you are thinking about starting a divorce in Illinois — or any other state — you might want to give real thought to what I think is the number one thing judge’s want you to know: instead of fighting, you may very well be better of if you can come to an agreement with your spouse.
