We are not alone in this universe.

The existence of extra-terrestrial life is one of the most captivating debates in science.

This theory has intrigued the minds of humanity since the beginning of our existence. The more advances we make in scientific exploration, the more we learn about what makes life possible here on Earth.

NASA believe that we will find signs of alien life in the next ten years.

Many people believe that there is not only life on other planets but that these life forms have visited Earth and, in some cases, helped to populate it. There have been many UFOs spotted in the skies throughout human history, which has often been documented in art and hieroglyphics.

There are many unanswered questions regarding aliens visiting our planet, many believe that is what the U.S. government has truly been studying at Area 51 in Nevada.

Jerry Reuss is a former left-handed pitcher who enjoyed a 22-year career (1969-90) in Major League Baseball. The native of St. Louis was a two-time All-Star selection (in 1975 and ’80), was named National League Comeback Player of the Year in 1980 and was a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 1981 World Championship team. 

He won 220 games with a career earned run average of 3.64 and 1,907 strikeouts while pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals (1969-71), Houston Astros (1972-73), Pittsburgh Pirates (1974-78 and 1990), Dodgers (1979-87), Cincinnati Reds (1987), California Angels (1987), Chicago White Sox (1988-89) and Milwaukee Brewers (1989).  He pitched a no-hitter for the Dodgers on June 27, 1980 against the San Francisco Giants. He is one of only two Pirates to have played for Danny Murtaugh, Chuck Tanner and Jim Leyland (John Candelaria is the other). He was the third oldest active player when he retired at age 41 in 1990.

He was one of only 29 players in Major League history to play in four different decades.

He was later joined by Frank Tanana, Charlie Hough, Dennis Martinez, Chuck Finley, Mike Mussina (Mussina won 20 for the first time after recording his 200th win), Kenny Rogers and Tim Wakefield.

After his playing career, Reuss worked as a broadcaster with ESPN (1991-93) and the Angels (1996-98). He served as a pitching coach with the minor league Iowa Cubs before returning to broadcasting with the Dodgers in 2006 as a color commentator.

LiviRae Lingerie, is a brand that has become well known and respected among women around the world.  Although the boutique opened its doors in 2006; the owners, Cynthia Decker and Molly Hopkins collectively boast over 20 years of knowledge and experience. The knowledge and experience that these ladies have, provided the fuel needed to transform their dreams for the boutique into reality. While LiviRae Lingerie specializes in custom bra fittings, mastectomy bras and prosthetic accessories; the boutique is home to many products that service and support both men and women.    

Cynthia and Molly gained popularity on a national level in 2013 as the stars of Lifetime’s reality series Double Divas. This allowed the southern belles to share their voice with women around the world, but it didn’t stop there.  Cynthia and Molly continue to use their voices and be catalyst for change by promoting body positivity. 

In a world in which women are discriminated against because of size, disabilities, race and age; there is LiviRae Lingerie. A brand that believes in the inclusion of all women and who understands the importance of diverse representation. Nothing exhibited their beliefs more than the ambassadors they selected to represent the brand; black, white, plus size, standard size and wheelchair bound women were all selected. These women were placed in the windows of LiviRae Lingerie with pride and when body shamers and negative people came for them, they started the #NOSHAMELIVIRAE campaign. 

The #NOSHAMELIVIRAE campaign provided another moment for these fearless women to speak up and out. With national media outlets such as Allure, The Curvy Fashionista, The Today Show and CNN supporting the Double Divas; this incident presented them with an opportunity to show the world just how ignorant discrimination is and how they refuse to take it sitting down.
