How do you get a complete Bradford Exchange catalog mailed to your home?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only way I'm aware of how to get any Bradford Exchange catalog mailed to you is to send in the (inside magazine) order card for an item that you like - that's how I got started. I don't know if a complete catalog is available, as they have so many offerings, and some series/items have a limited offering time, and are no longer offered.

Is Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School in Townsend Georgia accredited and how to contact them?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not an accredited school. IT does not meet government standards and the diploma will not be accepted by any state colleges, universities or military service.

The Diploma issued by Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not valid for entry into the Military Services - this school has been reviewed over the past year and was evaluated to not be equivalent of even a GED and placed on a "Not Valid for Entry" list.

Address: Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School, 3149 U S Highway 17, Townsend, GA 31331 Phone (912) 832-3834 or (912) 832-6663

Website URL: Cornerstonechristianschools.org

Many diploma mills claim to be "accredited," but the accreditation is from a bogus, but official-sounding, agency they invented. Some diploma mills have slick websites, and a "dot-edu" Web address doesn't guarantee legitimacy

You can use the Internet to check if a school is accredited by a legitimate organization at a new database of accredited academic institutions, posted by the U.S. Department of Education at ope.ed.gov/accreditation.

From other contributors:

  • No it is not an accredited school, I work for a University and the Department of Education does not recognize their HS diplomas, so a college can not use it as a proof of graduation.
  • It may be accredited according to them, but according to the Department of Education it is not and they are the ones who need to recognize it to be eligible to attend a college.
  • This high school diploma is not accepted in my county either, they said there's no one monitoring you when taking this test so it is not accepted.
  • I got a diploma from Cornerstone back in 2003. I was so excited that i was the first person to graduate high school from my family in a long time. Now I'm in college in California. The college has a list of schools they won't accept diplomas from and Cornerstone is on that list. Imagine how upset i was, right? Well now the school says if the diploma has an impressed seal on it they might accept it, if not, I'll have to go get my GED. Not something i'd like. The point is that to the best of my memory Cornerstone is accredited BUT that doesn't mean that if you outside of Georgia YOUR school will accept it. The laws and rules of what they will or won't accept are VERY different from state to state. And I've learned that now. So if I were you I would be cautious before assuming that the college you want to go to will accept it just because it's accredited or says diploma. A lot of the people graduating from Cornerstone are not even in Georgia.
  • NO their diplomas may be accredited but they are not recognized by the Department of Education. So a University doesn't acknowledge this as a proof of graduation and you will not be able to enter college. I work for a University and one of the individuals that tried to apply here told me he knows others who are having this same problem. Schools, even colleges, can be accredited but that doesn't guarantee that the DOE recognizes the schools credentials.
  • After two semesters,with Kaplan university they pulled me out of classes because my diploma with Cornerstone was not acceptable. Now the university wants me to repay grant money because of it. What now ?
  • Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not a real diploma. Cornerstone is not even an accredited school. Some colleges like the community one will accept it but a university will not accept it. I have a cornerstone but I went back to school and graduated from Marshall High School. So try to get your GED. Or if you not too old go back to school because that cornerstone is worthless!
  • It is not valid as in accredited high school diploma for admission to most colleges.
  • If Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School is not accredited how come it is that the state of Michigan paid for my cousin to get her diploma through this school and then the a college accepted it as a diploma. (It probably hasn't been caught yet)
  • The school does not have the appropriate accreditation.

Teen Jobs in GeorgiaMost employers won't hire you full time because of your age and if you had a degree in something and was legal age you would make good money. There are jobs working on farms during the summer. some jobs are mowing yards, doing odd jobs like building storage houses, barns, planting ,etc. some guys make good money doing yards in the summers. but they have to have so many yards to do and on a regular bases. good luck.

I happen to be in your exact same situation, and here's what I'm doing:

  • Chick-Fil-A can hire you
  • Many of your local grocery stores will hire you as bagger (Kroger, Publix, etc)
  • Many rec centers are looking for teen counselors, especially during the summer, so contact your local YMCA's and boys and girls clubs, or big brother big sister
  • If you like kids ( or if you're like me and just want some income) contact your local nurseries or childcare centers, as well as local churches and even some rec centers to see if you can get hired for a position
  • Find some local business like your local movie theater or coffee shop and contact them. you can do a search on yelp.com to find whats in your area and call them up. Bowling Alleys, Skating rinks, or summer camps are good too.
  • If you know how to swim, a lifeguard position at these local places are a really good idea.
  • AMC movie theaters can hire you
  • SnagAjob.com is a really good resource as well
  • start your own home business; i know it sounds cliche, but it works. I made some huge bucks last summer selling sodas and chips form my house, and candy apples in the winter.
  • If all else fails, look around for an internship or volunteer work; it not only makes you look better, but they may hire you later on. Try some places like Hands On Atlanta or VOX teen communications.
  • hope this helps and best of luck.

What is something unique about Georgia's animals?

The Civil Rights Movement

Martin Luther King Jr. moved back to Atlanta in 1960. Independently, black college students began lunch-counter sitins in southern cities, leading to the creation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), also headquartered in Atlanta. In 1962, the SCLC unsuccessfully battled segregation in Albany; the campaign taught activists the importance of national media attention. They got plenty in the Birmingham campaign, which helped win President John Kennedy's support for the movement. King's "I Have a Dream" speech electrified the March on Washington on 28 August 1963. Often at odds, SCLC and SNCC both participated in the climactic 1965 voting-rights campaign in Selma, Alabama, with many Georgians, including Atlanta's Hosea Williams, in the lead.

Atlanta's white leaders, eager to look progressive, tried to stave off racial conflict and bad publicity, whether they believed in the movement or not. Mayors William B. Hartsfield and Ivan Allen Jr. worked with black leaders to make the transition to desegregation. Atlanta's Georgia Institute of Technology quietly integrated in fall 1961, the first public university in the South to do so without court order. Local tensions ran high, though. When King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, Atlanta's stunned elite reluctantly hosted a biracial banquet in his honor.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (outlawing segregation) and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (ensuring voting rights) revolutionized Georgia society and politics, but change outside Atlanta proved slow. Black voters soon liberalized Georgia's Democratic Party. Civil rights stalwarts Julian Bond and Andrew Young of Atlanta won election to state and national offices. Maynard Jackson became Atlanta's first black mayor in 1974.

Angry white Democrats, mostly rural and working-class, sent archsegregationist Lester Maddox to the governor's mansion in 1966; Atlanta's leaders cringed. Maddox was Georgia's last openly racist governor. Many white-supremacy Democrats defected to Georgia's Republican Party, which included suburban conservatives who viewed race as a secondary issue. Other Democrats, notably Jimmy Carter, forged biracial coalitions with populist undertones. These coalitions made him governor of Georgia in 1970 and president in 1976.

Is there a way to see public records for free?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many agencies do make public records available for free, you just need to visit your local city hall.

Now days each government agency makes their own policy on what public records they make available to be searched online for free. Many State, County, Cities and Towns have their own websites that allow users to search land deeds, vital statistics, court records and forecloses. Its all up to the agency and the type of public record you're looking for.
