PDA: Q&A Patrick M. O’Keefe

June 6, 2018

As published by R.J. King, dbusiness

The E-Interview, Patrick M. O’Keefe, Founder and CEO, O’Keefe, Bloomfield Hills

DB: Where are you?
PO: At the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla., where I’m attending the 2018 Distressed Investing Summit hosted by M&A Advisor. Last night we had an opening night cocktail reception at Mar-a-Lago. Tonight, I’ll be receiving the 2018 M&A Advisor Leadership Award. Past winners have included Wilbur L. Ross and Steve Miller.

DB: How is the summit going?
PO: The presentations are geared to distressed investing in the turnaround industry. I like coming to the summit because you get the latest data of what’s going on in multiple industries; you hear about the winds of change that are coming but (you) might not normally see. There’s an international perspective, (and) you hear from professionals who are working in the trenches.

DB: What are the highlights?
PO: I’m learning about the effect that growing digital usage will have on physical stores, what that means for landlords, and how they may adapt in terms of future leases they sign for their centers. You also get information you normally might not think of, such as how important good weather is for restaurants. When there’s bad weather, people don’t go out to eat as much — so more restaurants are providing delivery service to boost sales as are gourmet markets. People are eating out more, but they want better food, smaller portions, and lower prices, so that’s slowing sales of entrees that are priced at $30 or more.

DB: How about labor trends?
PO: Everyone has issues finding and keeping workers. Some restaurants are finding that it’s better to hire younger people who have student aid to pay off, which is more important to them than health care. In general, they turn out to be better performers, too. You also see a lot of changeover at restaurants. The people in the front of the house typically stay, but behind the scenes, in the kitchen, there’s a lot of turnover.

Appeal Hearing: R. v Raghip and others (1991)

A man accused of leading the murderous attack on a police constable during the 1985 Broadwater Farm riot has received £50,000 from the Metropolitan Police for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.
BBC News
Keith Blacklock. Forensic tests suggested evidence against him may have been fabricated by police officers. Former Detective Chief Superintendent Graham Melvin and ex-Detective Inspector Maxwell Dingle were cleared at the Old Bailey in 1994 of fabricating evidence.

Court of Appeal

The Court of Appeal heard the case and took just 90 minutes to quash all the three convictions, delivering their 74-page decision on the 5th December. R v Raghip and others is now regarded as a landmark ruling because it recognised that ‘Interrogative suggestibility’ might make a confession unreliable.

The lawyers representing the three defendants argued that Silcott’s interview notes were contaminated, and that Raghip’s suggestability and Braithwaite having been denied a lawyer rendered their confessions unreliable too. The Crown prosecutor, Roy Amlot, conceded that the apparent contamination of the evidence rendered all three convictions unsafe. It has been said that Roy Amlot’s statement to the court was ‘one of the more sensational speeches in English Legal history.’ Amlot said, ‘we would not have gone on against Braithwaite, against Raghip, against any other defendants, having learned of the apparent dishonesty of the officer in charge of the case. I will say that because the Crown has to depend on the honesty and the integrity of officers working on the case…. The impact is obviously severe.’

Braithwaite and Raghip released

Braithwaite and Raghip were released on the 25th November 1991. However, Silcott remained in prison for the 1984 murder of Anthony Smith. He was awarded a total of some £17,000 in compensation in 1991 for the conviction he received in the Keith Blakelock case. He was offered up to £200,000 in legal aid in 1995 to sue the police for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. In the end the Metropolitan Police settled ‘out of court’ in 1999 and awarded Silcott £50,000 for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. He was released from prison on licence in October 2003, having served a total of 18 years for Anthony Smith’s murder.

Detectives acquitted in 1994.

In July 1992 Det. Ch. Supt. Melvin was charged with perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, and Det. Insp. Maxwell Dingle with conspiracy. None of the three people present during the disputed with Winston Silcott – Melvin, Dingle and Silcott himself—gave evidence during the detective’s trial at the Old Bailey in June and July 1994. The prosecution alleged the notes of the fifth interview with Silcott had been altered to include the self-incriminating remarks. Silcott had refused to answer any questions during the first four interviews. However, during the fifth interview, after being told that he struck Blakelock with a machete or something very similar, the notes show him saying that  that no one will believe the ‘kids’ who have spoken to the police and ‘those kids will never go to court. You wait and see. No one else will talk to you. You can’t keep me away from them.’

Then, the detectives’ lawyers produced 14 undisclosed witness statements from the taints Keith Blakelock murder inquiry, one of which said that Silcott had been carrying a knife with a two-foot-long blade on the night of the murder, and that he had attacked Blakelock. The detectives were acquitted on the 26th July by a unanimous jury verdict. After the verdict they told reporters that they had been through a ‘terrible ordeal.’ Both officers had been suspended during the case. Melvin returned to work afterwards, while Dingle took retirement.

Students prioritize college at younger ages

Mackenzie Coughlin, Staff Writer

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Email This Story

Ever since elementary school, students are asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” There’s pressure to plan out everything and know what path to take, however, most people’s answer to this daunting question is, “I don’t know yet.”
College is a subject that is discussed and encouraged in all grade levels, for many teachers say that the purpose of high school is to prepare you for college. If college is this important and this talked about, students should have an ample amount of planning time to prepare for such a thing.
In high school, senior year is the main year where college becomes a big deal. This is where students begin to fill out applications, write essays, get letters of recommendation, etc. When senior year comes quicker than expected for most, some do not even know where they want to go to college. This leaves a very small window for the preparation process and readiness to go to college the next fall season.
Although junior year is also important to get into college, it focuses more on transcripts. This includes GPA, class rank, grades and, most importantly, ACT scores. Encouraging juniors and even lower grade levels to think about college in a more serious way will lead to less stress during senior year.
A way for this to happen is to expose lower grade levels to the same opportunities that seniors have in order to prepare for college. Many college visits held by the school are prioritized to seniors, but making them guaranteed for juniors, and possibly even sophomores, would make students more comfortable with the idea of college when it really matters.
College is the time to plan out life and decide what to do with it. It is an important time to grow learning experiences and begin following a career path. Because of this, having the proper planning for college is just as important as going to class every day. Having more time and resources at younger ages would promote earlier thoughts about college and excitement about the future.

Clinton's Pro-Free Trade Policies Lead to Wider Illegal Money Laundering in Panama

Reprinted from Reader Supported News

An Interview With Lori Wallach

  Details   DMCA

In 2011, President Obama and Hillary Clinton, then Secretary of State, sold the U.S./Panama Free Trade Agreement as a fix for Panama's secret tax haven and money laundering operations. Obama asserted at the time: "Thanks to the leadership of President Martinelli, there have been a range of significant reforms in banking and taxation in Panama. And we are confident now that a free trade agreement would be good for our country."

Last week, President Obama appeared to be singing a different tune. Obama said that activities like those exposed by the release of the eleven million plus Panama Papers were a result of poorly designed laws. However, some analysts say that the relevant regulations were not exactly poorly designed, but were skillfully concocted to facilitate certain privileged interests.

Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, said this week that the Panama Papers show, once again, how entirely cynical and meaningless are American presidents' and corporate boosters' lavish promises of economic benefits and policy reforms from trade agreements.

Dennis Bernstein: Lori Wallach, you actually say that those actions in 2011, strongly supported by Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, made it safer and easier to launder money?

Lori Wallach: Absolutely. It's important for listeners to understand the history of Panama and how outrageous it would have been for the United States to even contemplate a free trade agreement with the country. In the 1970s the Omar Torrijos dictatorship was eager to pursue a new industrial policy. All they had were some banana exports. And so he literally recruits some University of Chicago-trained economists to come down to Panama and design laws that can make the country's comparative advantage a financial crime. They take the Swiss version of banking secrecy, and they cook up what are called "bearer" shares stock certificates, where the corporate entity is issued paper. So I can subscribe as a lawyer as the official owner of those shares and now I sell them to whomever. And they are never tracked. The tracks are not tracked. So whoever has the paper is actually in charge of the companies, so you have no idea what the company is.

And then they have a dual taxation system, where all of these foreign, fake, double-hidden companies can have secret banking and secret ownership, plus there are foreign registered companies that are subject to no reporting, no taxation, in no country or any place else. And that designed program was what we were saying to the Bush administration that the free trade agreements were. Not surprisingly, the majority in Congress in 2009 said, "We're not going to pass that, that's ridiculous."

So the Obama administration came in and instead of actually setting out to fix the Panama disaster, and actually make some demands of Panama about really changing things, they set out on a mission to figure out what to do to pass this free trade agreement. They did a lot of talk and not a lot of action and ultimately had a list of important improvements, as President Obama said, that now made it worthwhile to pass the agreement.

Meanwhile the agreement itself makes it safer and easier for particular U.S. companies to use Panama to hide their money from taxation, to basically obscure who owns what. And the specific rules are Chapter 9 of that agreement. You can see that online at tradewatch@ustr.gov in the investment chapter. It guarantees things like inflows and outflows of capital without limitation. Compensation from the government of any policies that an investor relied on to make an investment were changed, i.e., incentives not to clean up any of those criminal laws that drive the investments. And, moreover, compensation from the government if anything happens with your money, against the rights given in the agreement.

That provision serves like a risk-free insurance to offshore your money to Panama. So the chickens have now come home to roost, with the Panama Papers. Because you can see, number one, nothing's changed and number two, the extent of the criminality.

DB: Well, just help us understand the extent of the criminality referenced in these papers. And it's just beginning to unfold. We haven't heard a lot about the U.S., and I'm going to ask you about that in a moment. Explain how people use this stuff and how it works against us common folk.

Wallach: Well, there are a couple of different things that happened. There are legitimate U.S. businesses creating offshore tax haven shells to move money through and have profits earned through the companies that are incorporated in those shells, just to simply avoid taxes, and avoid paying their fair share. That's the least nefarious. There are individuals who hide income and assets by creating various shell corporations that become the earners of assets that would otherwise be subject to U.S. taxation.

But then there's the even more nefarious stuff. Panama is the financial nerve center for Colombian narco-traffickers and paramilitaries. They pass freely across the unguarded border between the two countries. And because they can very easily register a foreign subsidiary in someone else's name " you have Pablo Escobar, who is actually holding the paper for some of these bearer shares. The first time it gets registered, whoever is the first issue, could be a Panamanian lawyer who gives it to whomever. And then the entity suddenly can be doing banking in secrecy.

There are so many layers of non-transparency. That's a great place for money laundering. It's a great place to basically wash money. When the FTA was put into place there were somewhere between 350,000 and 400,000 offshore corporations, which is the highest number of subsidiaries of foreign investors outside of Hong Kong.

DB: Say a little bit more about what these corporations are doing in Panama.

Wallach: Some of them were doing some of the run of the mill tax evasion. Some of them were laundering drug money, weapons running money. There was a period where people thought there was a lot of terrorism-related money getting washed through Panama. And that is the country where, like the TPP we now face, promises of "Oh, if we do a trade agreement, that's all gonna get cleaned up, and this is our leverage." And you're hearing the same kind of thing about Malaysia and their horrible human trafficking and human rights abuses. Or Bruni, and their policy of stoning to death single mothers and gay people. "So this agreement is going to fix those things, don't you worry."

Why We Fight; A Mother's Guide to Civil Disobedience

While my son is fighting for his life in Fallujah, under some false pretense that we are "defending democracy" or "killing terrorists", I decided to take up the fight at home. Very few here are left defending our Constitutional rights. Those who are trying are getting exhausted. We have a march after a rally and, then, march again. Five years later, the war gets worse and the Middle East is on fire. There is extreme rendition, Hurricane Katrina "survivors", spying on U.S. citizens in the name of preserving our freedoms, domestic economic failures and disasters, higher gas prices, and the global cowboy foreign policies that we have to listen to and witness on a daily basis.

Well, being a true patriot who flies the American Flag and the Marine Corps. Flag outside her home in suburban Staten Island, New York, I decided to fight against the rapid whittling down of our rights to free speech. I made plans to get arrested at the United Nations when the liars and crime bosses were visiting. I'm talking about those from our own Government.

The planning started a few weeks before, and it was done quietly but with great determination. I spoke to only those I knew felt the same hopeless feelings I had. Too many issues to just have a rally and go home. When the world was visiting New York City, we would strike. And so we did. Sixteen determined citizens from all walks of life, all ages and backgrounds, decided to perform an act of non-violent civil disobedience in front of the United Nations on September 19th when the General Assembly was meeting to decide the fate of the world.

It was the scariest thing I had ever undertaken in my life, including my 3 marriages. Being married to a retired police lieutenant, and having 2 sons who are NYPD officers, I asked myself what in the world was I doing. But seeing the smirk on the face of George Bush when he visited the site of Ground Zero and using it as his backdrop for a photo op once again, I decided I was doing the right thing. If he could stand there and humiliate me and this Country, I could walk into the fires of hell to stop him.

The morning of the event came and I had gone sleepless the night before. I showed up at our meeting location and all I could see was my heart pumping right out of my shirt. I kept telling myself "You can't do this, you can't do this!" But then I looked at my son's picture which I carry with me, and I thought of all those funerals I had attended over the course of his deployment, the sadness in those mothers' eyes and the questions they had as to why this happened, and I grew calm.

I was no longer afraid of the big bad wolves surrounding the UN in their black suits and earpieces, or the hundreds and hundreds of uniformed officers from every single police unit that could possibly incur overtime on our tax dollars. I marched down to the gate on 1st Avenue and 44th Street and walked right between the police gate and a police van. The next thing I knew I was flying through the air, picture of my son in hand, and landed on my back about 10 feet from the gate I was trying to get through. From my viewpoint, I could see a huge melee breaking out. My friends had succeeded in walking through the barricade. I could see camera crews, uniforms, my friends, black suits, visitors, and onlookers just running into the crowd. There I was lying on the street with people jumping over as I thought, "I can run away and no one will ever know!" But I couldn't. My friends, who I have the utmost respect for, were being overwhelmed and abused by the law enforcement types that were there. Cameras were right in the middle of the crowd filming, so I jumped back up and joined in. I looked to my right and couldn't believe what I saw. My friend, Father Luis Barrios, was kneeling on the ground with 4 uniformed police officers holding him down on his shoulders and head. For a moment it looked like he was praying. But as soon as I saw the force with which they were holding him, I knew he was in pain. So I joined the line of our group of protesters and we locked arms. We were all shaking and hurt but we stood firm and chanted "ARREST BUSH", "PEACE NOW", "BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW", and some other things I don't even remember. It seemed to me that at that point the police and secret service just totally backed-up. I couldn't understand it. I was expecting them to immediately cart us off as the "insane criminals" that they thought we were, but they let us chant. And we did. A man from the onlookers joined us and locked arms in solidarity. We smiled at him. We faced a sea of uniforms, suits, cameras and people watching. They looked as shocked as we were.

All the time I was standing there I thought of my son fighting on little sleep, few rations, somewhere out on the Euphrates River and it made me stronger. Our voices were heard loud and clear. We accomplished our goal, however tiny a step we took towards the massive movement needed in this Country to stop the fascism. We did it!

We were then arrested and carted off in a paddy wagon. Eleven women and 5 men. The women were in one wagon, with cuffs and dirty clothes. Relief and contentment that we did what we set out to do filled up that old dirty wagon. Here we were, 11 women, ranging in ages from 20 to 78, different in so many ways, spanning many generations but sharing the same goal, and having the time of our lives! Boy, the NYPD was very sorry they kept us locked up for 5 hours. We did more talking and laughing then I have ever done in my life. We bonded and shared the experience of defiance. All 16 of us decided that afternoon into the evening that we were the core of the underground movement that would spread out and continue to push back against any fascist government that would deny us our First Amendment rights, and any other rights that we have all fought for long and hard over hundreds of years.

So I say to you, when given no other chance to express yourself, don't feel hopeless or helpless or afraid, get out there and demand to be heard! It is your right as an American citizen, and don't ever let anyone take that away from you.

If you just won the lottery, have the urge to splurge or are simply loaded, knowing the top 10 most expensive suburbs in Brisbane is a good place to start. The good news is that you get a lot more for your money in Brisvegas than if you were investing in Sydney's most expensive suburbs.

There you would need a cool $7.7 million or thereabouts to nab a home in Darling Point - the most expensive place to live in Sydney.

How much more? You are looking at a four bedroom house for under $2 million in the Queensland capital, which is why more than a few Sydneysiders and Melbournites are packing up and heading north.

Affordability coupled with an improving economic outlook and more job opportunities have all helped to make Queensland Australia's favourite destination for internal migration - and the weather also helps.

This is partly why BIS Oxford Economics forecasts Brisbane house prices will grow 20 per cent by 2022, with units performing a little softer at 14 per cent growth over the same timeframe.

Top 10 most expensive suburbs in Brisbane

richest suburbs in Brisbane
View from Macquarie Street home in Teneriffe | Source: Luxury List
Current holder of the title, Brisbane's most expensive suburb, goes to inner city Teneriffe which has shed its industrial past and made the most of its views and proximity to the city centre.
A median house price of $1,862,500 is understandable given the small number of houses that come onto the market, and it can't be too long before the median passes the $2 million mark. Don't think you can grab any house in this price bracket - premium homes on Teneriffe Hill or Macquarie Street can sell for as much as $4 million.
The median unit price is currently $550,000 and the average rent for a unit is $520/week. All this makes it relatively affordable for Sydney/Melbourne buyers, as you get a lot more for your money.
  • Median house price: $1,862,500
  • Median unit price: $550,000
  • Average house rent: $650 per week
  • Average unit rent: $520 per week
If you love living by the water then put Hamilton on your list, but be prepared to pay for the privilege of living near the river - the term 'sought after' springs to mind. In terms of performance, Hamilton houses have grown 9.0% over the last five years to a median of $1.5 million, while the median for units currently sits at just under half a million.
In reality, in-demand properties sell for a lot more than the median, with a desirable three bedroom unit in the suburb fetching in the region of $700,000.
  • Median house price: $1,500,000
  • Median unit price: $495,500
  • Average house rent: $750 per week
  • Average unit rent: $420 per week

"Hamilton houses have grown 9.0% over the last five years to a median of $1.5 million."

New Farm
New Farm has vied with its riverside neighbours for the title of Brisbane's most expensive suburb, but misses out with a median house price of $1,437,500.
Thanks to its mix of heritage homes, including iconic Queenslanders and blocks of Art-Deco units, demand for homes in the 4005 postcode is strong, with recording 674 visits per property for listings in New Farm, versus an average of 374 for Queensland overall.
The median unit price of $537,500 is an indication of the strength of the market there as the median house price for the state is $552,000.
  • Median house price: $1,437,500
  • Median unit price: $537,500
  • Average house rent: $770 per week
  • Average unit rent: $400 per week

Moving away from the river, Chandler is only slightly cheaper than New Farm with a median house price of just over $1.4 million and an average house rent of $560 per week.
Here the big drawcard is the leafy surrounds and large blocks, some as big as four hectares. For this reason you will struggle to find a unit and the high demand for houses is expected to keep prices growing for some time and the postcode near the top of the pile in terms of price and exclusivity.
  • Median house price: $1,400,750
  • Average house rent: $560 per week
Back to the river, this time in the east and just across the river from Teneriffe and Hamilton, Bulimba is another postcode that consistently attracts. Why? Waterfront charm, proximity to the city and quaint cottages are all drawcards for young professionals and families.
All this translates into an average of 432 visits per property listing - way above the state average for a median house price of $1,350,000 and median unit price for $572,500. In reality this means that you could pay in excess of $2 million or more for a house in a prime waterfront location, and more than $700k for a three bedroom unit.
  • Median house price: $1,350,000
  • Median unit price: $572,500
  • Average house rent: $698 per week
  • Average unit rent: $495 per week

"Bulimba properties have an average of 432 visits per property listing - way above the state average of 374."

Another in demand suburb - though it has dropped in our rankings - Ascot has historically been the most expensive suburb in Brisbane and has only been dethroned fairly recently by younger contenders to the throne.
Here the historic homes and old world charm are the main drawcards, as is the Ascot state school catchment. Median house prices in Ascot are currently $1,218,750 for houses and $460,000 for units. You can expect to bank $760/week for a house, and $395/week for an apartment.
  • Median house price: $1,281,750
  • Median unit price: $460,000
  • Average house rent: $760 per week
  • Average unit rent: $395 per week

Fig Tree Pocket
With views of the Brisbane River from three sides and just eight kilometres from the CBD, leafy and evocatively named Fig Tree Pocket is exclusive and as laid back as the river it sits on.
Here large blocks, abundant greenery, proximity to golf courses and a rural feel give it a median house price of $1.2 million, though you will need to save for properties on larger acreage. Homes have been known to sell for $4 million and close to $10 million for a large riverfront property - making this enclave some of the most sought after property in the city.
  • Median house price: $1,200,000
  • Average house rent: $620 per week
If you are looking for large acreage then best put Brissie's Pullenvale on your list, as the postcode is reputed to have the Sunshine state's largest average land size. This means you won't be shopping for a unit, but a house with a median price in the region of $1.1 million.
This suburb sits in the city's middle ring, which is leafy and has good schools, with a robotics innovation centre also in development. You won't find many units here but a house will earn you $770 per week in rent.
  • Median house price: $1,160,000
  • Average house rent: $770 per week
Another riverside gem, Hawthorne recently saw a home on Aaron Avenue sell for $9 million, though the median house price is a more affordable $1,100,000.
A sign of its desirability are the average 747 visits properties get in the suburb, double the state average. If you are in the market for an investment unit then the median price here is $492,500, though a three bedroom apartment is likely to cost closer to $560,000 currently.
  • Median house price: $1,100,000
  • Median unit price: $492,500
  • Average house rent: $650 per week
  • Average unit rent: $390 per week

"Hawthorne recently saw a home on Aaron Avenue sell for $9 million, though the median house price is more affordable $1.1 million"

St Lucia
St Lucia is not only home to the University of Queensland but it also sits on the river, is leafy and just four kilometres from the CBD. Here you will find a mix of properties, from heritage listed Queenslanders and Federation era homes to a mix of newer and older apartment blocks.
All this translates into a median house price of just over $1 million, while units sit just above the half a million mark. In terms of medium term growth houses have appreciated a respectable 4.7% over the last five years, with units up 1.2% over the same timeframe.
  • Median house price: $1,067,500
  • Median unit price: $500,000
  • Average house rent: $580 per week
  • Average unit rent: $430 per week
Suburb Median house price
Teneriffe, 4005 $1.9 m

Ireland's 'No': a European View

The prospect of a two-speed Europe could turn the Irish back to Europe
John Palmer
13 June 2008

John Palmer (London, author): This time it really is serious. The rejection by a majority of Irish people voting in the referendum to ratify the European Union Treaty of Lisbon has thrown not merely the fate of the treaty but the longer term prospects for European integration into the unknown. At the very least it will mean that most of the elementary reforms the EU needs to manage its affairs with an ever growing membership and an ever expanding array of global challenges will have to be put on hold – maybe for years.

As a highly embarrassed Irish prime minister, Brian Cowen, publicly accepted the verdict of the Irish referendum, a total of 18 of the 27 EU Member States had already approved the Lisbon Treaty through their national Parliaments. All the other countries – seemingly including the British – have now pledged themselves to continue with the ratification. By the end of the summer there is every prospect that 26 of the 27 will have approved the Lisbon Treaty.

So why did the Irish people – traditionally one of the most-European in the EU – decide to blow up the train just as it was approaching the station? This question is easier to ask than to answer. Even the organisations which led the Irish “No” campaign were careful to proclaim themselves strongly in favour of Ireland remaining “at the heart” of a more united and stronger European Union.

To judge by the questions which were raised during the brief referendum campaign, many Irish voters were worried that the Lisbon Treaty would lead to Irish young men being “conscripted into a European army” and Ireland being required to abandon its long standing policy of military neutrality. The fact that there is no such provision anywhere in the treaty for a European army or for conscription or any requirement for Ireland to abandon neutrality was pointed out – but either not understood or not believed.

Others expressed concern that Ireland would lose the right to fix its own levels of corporate taxation (an important instrument in the Celtic Tigers recent growth strategy). To head off these concerns the Irish government secured legal language reinforcing its right to fix its own tax rates in this area. But again this was either not understood or not believed.

There were other more “cultural” issues. Radical right wing Catholic groups claimed that the treaty would enforce abortion, prostitution and a host of other sins on the faithful. Even some of the Catholic bishops pointed out that this was rubbish. Some chose not to hear or not to believe. What is plainly the case is that opposition to the treaty was linked in the minds of large numbers of working class voters with fears that privatisation of public services, anti-trade union legislation and new “neo-liberal” economic policies would follow. Those who pointed out that none of these policies were part of the Lisbon Treaty and, indeed, that the Lisbon Treaty strengthened workers rights and policies for social cohesion were either not heard or not believed.

The nearest thing to a coordinating centre for the “No” campaign was “Libertas” run by Declan Ganley, an English born millionaire businessman with close business connections with the US military. But other parts of this broad popular front included Sinn Fein and sections of the far left as well as the ultra-Catholic right. There is no doubt that they tapped into a rich seam of inchoate but strongly felt alienation from the Irish political establishment (ALL the Irish political parties except Sinn Fein were in support of the treaty.)

The one slogan which united this disparate anti-treaty coalition was the need for far greater democratic control of the institutions of EU governance. The fact that the treaty provides for more powers both for national Parliaments and the elected European Parliament was either dismissed or felt to be insufficient. But perhaps EU governments now accept that they should have accepted the ideas floated in the original Convention on the Future of Europe which drew up the original but ill-fated Constitution which included not merely an elected Commission President (still in the treaty) but also an elected President of the Council.

For the “Yes” side the referendum campaign was a predictable disaster. Complacent establishment politicians were too often ill-briefed and lethargic in making a case for a stronger and more effective Europe to confront the challenges of globalisation, insecurity, climate change and – now – economic turbulence. Almost from the start of the referendum campaign the “Yes” politicians were reduced to merely responding to ever wilder allegation and charges from the “No” side, who also benefitted from the wholehearted supported of the euro-sceptic British press which has a growing circulation in Ireland. But the cleverest ploy of all was when the “No” campaigners said “If you have not read or understood the treaty it would be safer to vote “No.”

What now? Next week EU heads of government meeting for their quarterly summit in Brussels will have to jettison much of their planned agenda and discuss what on earth can be done. The European Commission and other EU governments have, understandably, thrown to ball back into the Irish government’s court. It will be for Cowen and his colleagues to explain first, why the referendum was lost and second, what the Irish people want changed in the treaty. As matters stand the Dublin government hasn’t a clue what to propose.

For the time being the EU will manage its affairs under the complex and out-of-date provisions of the Nice Treaty. Plans to implement more effective policies on climate change, energy security, justice and the fight against crime will have to be suspended. So too will plans to strengthen EU decision-making on foreign and security policy. This at least is welcome to the neo-cons in Washington. John Bolton – Bush’s former UN ambassador – has already warned that the EU was showing too much independence of NATO on these issues.

Some technical changes to the conduct of business – maybe even the planned Presidency of the European Council – might agreed anyway since they do not need to form part of a treaty. It is unlikely that new wording can be found to satisfy the Irish “No” voters on existential issues like neutrality or taxation which add anything to the guarantees already in the treaty and could justify a rerun of the referendum.

The next scheduled stop for a new treaty will probably come when Croatia is admitted to the EU around 2010 – 2012. By then it might be possible to restructure the most important elements in the Lisbon Treaty in a new treaty to approve Croatia’s accession. The trouble is that the problems and looming crises with which the EU is faced cannot also be put on hold. For example the loss of the provisions on climate change will make it harder for the EU to get the kind of global post-Kyoto deal from the US and China which had been planned.

That said it would be a mistake to under estimate the determination of the great majority of EU governments to find a way forward. Perhaps the key lies in the UK. If the Irish rejection of the Lisbon Treaty were to be followed by a new Conservative government in London seeking a root and branch renegotiation of its relationship with the EU, the result might be a decision by the great bulk of Member States to proceed to a closer Union on their own. This might satisfy the hard line euro-sceptics in Britain. It would cause immense alarm in Ireland which might then be asked to finally choose between its links to Britain and those with Europe as a whole.

Expose the ‘dark money’ bankrolling our politics

US Christian ‘fundamentalists’, some linked to Donald Trump and Steve Bannon, have poured at least $50m of ‘dark money’ into Europe over the past decade – boosting the far right.

Perhaps the greatest thing about the Web is that you don’t have to be a big company to publish things on it.

UCF head coach Scott Frost won't answer a reporter's question about whether he's leaving UCF for Nebraska following  the American Athletic Conference Championship Game of UCF versus Memphis at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando on Saturday, December 2, 2017. UCF won the game at the conference title 62-55. (Stephen M. Dowell/Orlando Sentinel)

Daytona Beach Mainland safety Johnathan Huggins said last week that UCF was near the top of his list of possibilities as college choices. That, of course, came with one caveat: Scott Frost remaining as the Knights head coach.

Frost is headed to Nebraska, which is now where Huggins’ interest lies after hearing from the new Cornhuskers’ coaching staff Saturday night.

“Yeah, I would say they’re my top school right now,” said Huggins, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound safety who decommitted from his pledge to FSU last week amid the Jimbo Fisher chaos. “Top three right now would probably be Louisville, Nebraska, Florida State and I’m open to others, but Nebraska is pretty high up there.

“I’m excited for it, really. It sounds good.”

Frost, who is taking several members of his former UCF coaching staff with him to Nebraska, is now coming after players he was targeting as Knights’ prospects. Saturday night, just hours after hoisting the winner’s trophy from the American Athletic Conference championship game, Frost’s staff was already on the phone with recruits.

The first player defensive coordinator Erik Chinander called was Huggins, and the former UCF assistant will also be meeting with Huggins later today. Huggins also confirmed that he was told defensive backs coach Travis Fisher will join Frost in Nebraska

“He said I was the first person he called and he wants me to be a part of the new recruiting class and they’re really interested in me being a top target still and he wanted me to be a ’Husker,” Huggins said. “It feels really good because I love that coaching staff and it’s something new. It’s Nebraska, good facilities, good fan base, good football background … one of the best in the country, really.”

Huggins, who could even end up playing linebacker at he next level said he will discuss his official visit date with Chinander. Huggins said he also will take his scheduled official visit to Louisville next weekend.

Mainland is the same school from which Frost plucked his first UCF recruit, speedy running back Adrian Killins.

Huggins is the No. 11-ranked player in the Sentinel’s 2018 Central Florida Super60. He is the No. 88-ranked safety in the country according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

Quadrigacx scandal is causing concerns for Bitcoin owners and gambling companies

Another problem with a Bitcoin wallet draws concern from users and gambling companies.

The decline in value coupled with scandals have made many skeptical of Bitcoin

When bitcoin became popular, most people kept their funds in wallets at Mt. Gox. The Japanese bitcoin exchange was said to have handled over 70% of transactions and stored close to 1 million bitcoins for customers. In 2014 a hack into Mt. Gox computers resulted in the company filing for bankruptcy and customers losing access to all their coins. At the time bitcoins were only worth a couple hundred dollars each, but the hack was still significant and showed the dangers of holding bitcoins anywhere but in your own private wallet on personal computers, flash drives or other devices that were designed to keep the currency close at hand. Aside from Mt. Gox, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Etherdelta and some other smaller exchanges have been victims of hacks over the years as well.

Quadrigcx Bitcoin scandalSo, it came as a shock to many when Quadrigacx, Canada’s largest cryptocurrency wallet, filed for creditor protection after its founder apparently died in India and didn’t give the security codes to access the coins to anyone else. And it was really a shock when it was learned that Quadrigacx held almost 1 million coins, mostly ETH and LTC for its customers. Some crypto long timers couldn’t fathom why so many people didn’t learn from the Mt. Gox fiasco and kept their coins at the exchange rather than in a personal wallet. Yet others aren’t surprised at all and say that keeping coins offline is easier said than done and really not practical.

"It’s easy to criticize in hindsight, but most people look for ease over practicality and the majority of bitcoin owners aren’t computer experts and really don’t know how to store coins locally," one bitcoin writer told me about a year after the Mt. Gox fiasco. "If you’re going to use the logic that it’s a mistake to keep coins anywhere but at home, then you should also be criticizing everyone who has money in bank accounts rather than under their mattresses at home. To most bitcoin owners they viewed Mt. Gox as the bitcoin bank."

I reached out to a colleague who I’ve known for over 15 years and who has a Quadrigacx account and asked him for his opinion on this scandal. He told me that he never really considered keeping his crypto in a personal wallet on his computer because he believed that the security features at Quadrigacx, such as two-way verification, made it safer to keep coins there than at home. He said in hindsight he probably should have known better given that he was indirectly involved in the 2007 Neteller scandal, but he added, he is also a realist.

"He believed it was as safe as Bank of America."

"I love to gamble online and when the accounts of Neteller were frozen I was fortunate that as a Canadian I was able to get my money out. But even if I couldn’t, I only had a few hundred dollars there and it was just easy to move money to and from gambling sites via Neteller. Losing it wouldn’t have caused any hardship and the hassle of moving money to my own bank and then back and forth to gambling sites was more of a pain than it was worth. But, I also have American friends who had thousands of dollars at Neteller and one who had much of his life savings there. He told me at the time that he always viewed Neteller as his bank that he could easily use to transfer money to himself when need be, transfer to books when he wanted to gamble and transfer to friends to pay for debts or items he wanted to buy. He said he believed it was as safe as Bank of America. It never even once came to his mind that the company could go under."

"Fortunately for him he was able to transfer his balance to me via a p2p payment before Neteller suspended those transfers and I withdrew the money for him and sent him a PayPal payment for his withdrawal amount. I remember saying to him afterwards "did you learn your lesson? E-wallets aren’t a bank. They aren’t safe."

"He said he did and the following year many Americans were threatened with losing their savings when AIG and Meryl Lynch went under. So even 'the safe choice' has risks. But life involves risks. That’s why I didn’t look to keep currency outside of Quadrigacx, I just viewed it as a safe risk but obviously I was wrong. If anything, what this Quadrigacx thing has done is it makes me wonder if there is really any true value in crypto and whether we’re all being taken in with a scam."

That comment made me wonder whether many of the web sites that rely heavily on cryptocurrency for payments are really going concerns. Obviously gambling sites like Pinnacle or The Greek will survive any future cryptocurrency scandals since they only use bitcoin as a courtesy, but sites like 5Dimes and certainly the crypto only gambling sites may not be able to survive many more scandals. Rumor has it that some sites who have held bitcoin the last couple of years are in dire straits since the value of bitcoin has declined from over $15,000 to less than $3,000 in a year and they have never cashed in coins for fiat.  But even more concerning is a comment by one crypto casino company who said that they have seen a big drop in their customer base the last year as people who were so gung-ho about bitcoin when it was soaring no longer want any part of it, most likely because they bought high and sold what they had at a big loss. It’s like the stock market. In a bull market everyone is happy but in a bear market everyone is looking for the exit.

I also reached out to another colleague who said that what this Quadrigacx scandal taught him was to never keep money anywhere online or at gambling companies for long periods of time.

"It perplexes me when I hear about people who have massive balances in PayPal or other e-Wallets or who have large balances at places like Bookmaker or Bovada. I’ve been following developments for a long time and I know that what goes up will come down. I remember people saying Aces Gold and WSEX were as safe as could be and we know the outcome. And I know people who swore by eGold only to find out it was a scam operation. And we know anything can be hacked. If Russians can hack voting systems surely they can hack gambling sites and steal information. And who can forget when Russians shut down major sportsbooks with DDOS attacks. I don’t keep my money under my bed or in a lock box, but I spread it around so if there is an issue only a small amount will be at risk. And with my gambling accounts I always take money back after a large win and I never keep more in my account than the amount of 5 bets. I would rather pay the small fee for a new deposit than find out that a gambling site owner skipped town with my funds. Lately I was questioning whether all these safeguards were really necessary but now, after Quadricacx, I know they are."

So, the Quadrigacx debacle has made many people in both the cryptocurrency industry and the gambling industry uneasy. Most crypto owners know it’s probably best to keep cryptocurrency outside of the exchanges and most gamblers know it’s best not to keep funds outside of the companies, but human nature makes most want to just do the easy thing and that means keeping it online, where it’s accessible and usable when necessary. Scandals make people pause for a second, but in the end, it rarely makes them change their ways. The Quadrigacx scandal is unfortunate, but it likely won’t change much. A writer for a crypto web site penned "it’s a good thing this was just a smaller Canadian exchange because if the same thing happened at Kraken or Coinbase you might as well just shut the whole (cruptocurrency) industry down."

Is he right? Probably not.

Past, Present, Future

Are you your experiences or are your experiences a part of who you are?

Most people tend to hold on to past experiences and pull them into their present as they go into their future. They are living their lives in the rear view mirror. Even though they may exchange old characters for new, the storyline is still the same.

Some people live a life based entirely on their future.They are organised, goal oriented and aspiring achievers. They tend to forget about the lessons they learned through experience and don’t have time to notice the smaller significant opportunities in the here and now.

However, there are those who live in the present, not worrying about tomorrow as long as there is enough for today. Yesterday was yesterday and today they can start anew.

So, which of these ways of living is the best way to live?

My answer is none of them. On their own, they do not serve our greater purpose. Life is like an ocean, broad and deep. In order for us to be fulfilled we need a little of all three ways of living in our own unique balance. That is what keeps us moving forward in a way that works for us and serves us. As the saying goes, the past is where you learn the lesson, the future is where you apply your learning, so don’t give up in the middle.

To learn more about how you can balance your past, present and future contact OVP Coaching and book your consultation today.

View FAQs

Finding a Job

Q. How does the job search work?
A.If you search by a job title and a city, the search results will include all jobs with the job title within 25 miles from the city center. Example:  Search by 'Nurse' and 'Harrisburg'.  The search results could include nurse jobs in Harrisburg, but also Camp Hill because Camp Hill is within 25 miles of Harrisburg's city center.

If you search by a county or state, the search results would include only jobs within that county or state.

If you search in two different locations, such as  Philadelphia (PA) or New Jersey and your search criteria is city of ‘Philadelphia’ and state of ‘New Jersey’, you will receive no results because the City of Philadelphia is not in the State of New Jersey.  To get the best results for a dual location search, we suggest you make sure that the city is in the state that you are searching.

If you search by a zip code and a radius of miles around the zip code and that zip code is near a bordering state, the search results could include jobs in another state if they are within the radius.

If your search is by zip code and any other option, the search results returned will be for the zip code only. Example:  Search by zip code of  ‘17110’ and county of ‘Dauphin’  the search results will only include jobs in that zip code (which is in Dauphin County), the rest of Dauphin County would be excluded.

Note:  Radius search considers a specified distance around a point on a map.

Susan Powell AUS Leads CyclingTeam Australia has finished as the most successful country with 17 medals, including five rainbow jerseys, at the 2014 UCI Para-cycling World Track Championships in Mexico.

The final two days of competition were headlined by Sue Powell’s tremendous performance to win the women’s C4 3km individual pursuit, plus Jayme Richardson’s second gold medal of the Championships in the C1 category.

Powell (3:56.969) broke her own world record in qualifying by seven seconds, with fellow Australian Alexandra Green (3:57.393) also going under the old mark to set up an all-Aussie final.

Powell went even faster in the final, eclipsing her new mark by almost one second, crossing the line in 3mins 56.135secs to take the gold over Green (4:00.06).

Jayme Richardson claimed her second rainbow jersey in as many days after posting 4mins 43.152secs to win the women’s C1 3km individual pursuit.

In the Tandem sprint events, the Australian pairings of Keiran Modra and Jason Niblett (Pilot) broke the world record in flying 200m qualifying after posting an amazing 9.877secs.

However, in a mirror of the time trial event from the second day of competition, their time was pipped by Great British combination of Neil Fachie and Peter Mitchell (pilot) (9.711).  The British pair then took gold over the Australians in the final in two straight heats.

It was an almost identical result in the women’s event, with Australians Brandie O’Connor and Breanna Hargrave (Pilot) setting a new world mark with 11.112secs in their qualifying ride.

However it was short-lived with Great Britain’s Sophie Thornhill and Rachel James (Pilot) bettering their time by .3 of second (10.854).  As per the men’s result, the British duo went on to take the gold in straight heats.

Victoria’s Alistair Donohue claimed the bronze medal in the Men’s C5 1km Time Trial (1:03.788) and the men’s C-1-5 scratch race exhibition final, while Simone Kennedy took bronze in the women’s C3 3km individual pursuit.

In other events, David Nicholas finished sixth in the men’s C3 1km time trial (1:08.949), Powell finished fourth in the Women’s C1-5 scratch race and Paul Kennedy and Thomas Clarke (Pilot) finished fourth in the men’s sprint.

Australia’s 17-member team battled over 100 of the world’s best cyclists from 30 nations during the Championships will be held at the Aguascalientes Velodrome from April 10-13.

Keeping students safe on and off the bus is a job for the entire community

Diagram of Bus Stopping Procedures February 3, 2020

Each day, as the wheels on the school bus “go ‘round and ‘round,” keeping students safe in the Parma City School District becomes the important job for approximately 100 bus drivers from the Transportation Department.

However, keeping students safe each school day is really a responsibility for all of us on the road and in the community.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 25 million children nationwide take about 472,000 school buses to attend school each day. In Parma, 107 buses throughout the district safely deliver about 3,500 children to school, covering 30 square miles.

School buses are specifically designed to be safe for children, and according to the NHTSA, they are “the most regulated vehicles on the road.” In fact, school buses are the safest way to get a child to school, with students 70 times more likely to get to school safe in a school bus than traveling by car, according to the NHTSA.

Yet, each year, students nationwide are placed in harm’s way when loading and unloading off the bus. And recently, that’s garnered the attention of local authorities and school districts, who continually strive to get children safe to school each day, no matter what.

According to PCSD Transportation Supervisor Angelo Caputo, the rules in Ohio are pretty straight forward for motorists when school buses stop to load and unload students.

On a road with fewer than four lanes, all traffic approaching a stopped school bus must stop at least 10 feet from the front and rear of the bus. Traffic must remain stopped until the bus begins to move, or the driver signals other drivers to proceed. This includes two and three-lane roads, including a road with a center turning lane.

On a road with four or more lanes of traffic, only traffic moving in the same direction of the bus must stop.  This includes a four-lane highway with a center turn lane.

“If you’re behind the bus you always have to stop, no matter what,” Caputo explained. “But if you’re on the opposite side of the road and maybe you don’t know, be prepared to stop. If you don’t know - and that’s the problem - a lot of people don’t know. Some people stop and some people don’t. Just use caution and be prepared to stop.”

According to Caputo, many times motorists run through the flashing red lights for two reasons, either from distracted driving or from being in a hurry. Each day, Caputo says he gets “several” reports of motorists running past established student bus drops.

“Often times we get concerns from citizens about a bus taking too long at a bus stop,” Caputo expressed. “Sometimes people need to understand that we do need to provide special needs transportation for students that take a little extra time getting on and off the bus. Whether that is because they are in a wheelchair, or because they need more assistance using the steps, or they’re having a bad day and not want to get up out of their seats right away…I know sometimes it can be inconvenient or frustrating, but our job is not to stop and block traffic all day. Our job is to make sure our students are safe and sometimes they just need a little bit of extra time.”

In Ohio, consequences are severe for drivers fail to stop for a school bus. Motorists can have two points added to their license, along with possible fines up to $500. In addition, a judge may suspend a license up to one year. Penalties become even more severe if an injury is sustained by a pedestrian during a bus stop.

Bus drivers will write down license plate numbers, along with makes and models of vehicles that violate the law. In addition, the department almost daily receives tips from other drivers in the community who are concerned about students’ safety.

In either case, PCSD Transportation works closely with local law enforcement to pursue charges against the driver. According to Caputo, each week, the PCSD has enough information to send to police to convict at least five to seven offenses.

“Since all of this has been so visible in the community, we have community members that will call in and provide the make and model of vehicles, or even their license plate,” Caputo added. “So, one good thing with all of this publicity about school bus safety in the last year and a half is that the community is more aware of it. If they see something that happens, they will definitely report it.”

Caputo encourages drivers just to have patience and caution the next time they are out on the roadways and especially near school buses.

“If everyone stops and maybe they didn’t have to, that’s okay,” Caputo said. “It just means people took a little bit of extra caution to make sure everybody was safe.”
