Gavel crime file

Years after their last night in a jail cell, many Louisiana residents are trailed by arrests and convictions. Homes and jobs stay out of reach because of a $550 fee to wipe their criminal records clean as well as what advocates say is an overly complicated process to do so.

Now, a new lawsuit is aiming to upend the state’s process for expunging old criminal records. Indigent plaintiffs want a federal judge to order the state to create a streamlined process for the poor to apply for fee waivers.

The lawsuit, filed Dec. 13 in federal court in Baton Rouge, is the latest courtroom attack on Louisiana’s “user pays” criminal justice system, which relies on fines and fees from defendants to balance the books. Two advocacy groups, the First 72+ and the Washington, D.C., nonprofit law firm Equal Justice Under Law, brought it on behalf of a 40-year-old Baton Rouge waitress, a 49-year-old New Orleans hotel worker and a 55-year-old Jefferson Parish man on disability who argue they can't afford the fees.

Phil Telfeyan, the executive director of Equal Justice Under Law, said the litigation aims to place a clean record within reach for people of modest means.

“We aren’t asking for damages. We want the district attorneys to waive expungement fees for those who can’t afford them,” Telfeyan said. “The state has stated that old convictions that are more than 10 years old, that are nonviolent offenses, should be expunged. So this is really simply a matter of the processing fee.”

Expungements are free for people who are trying to clear arrests and don’t have felony convictions, and there’s also a provision under state law to file a request as a pauper. But the lawsuit claims that the process for pleading poverty is rife with “shortcomings and confusion.” The First 72+ and the Justice and Accountability Center of Louisiana, another advocacy group, said that district attorneys around the state seem to have a hodgepodge of policies and practices.

Most states allow people who have been arrested for or convicted of certain crimes to “expunge” their records, or block them from public view. The expunged records remain accessible to law enforcement and government agencies, but they no longer appear on employers and landlords’ background checks.

Generally speaking, Louisiana allows people to expunge misdemeanor convictions and some nonviolent felony convictions after 5 or 10 years. Arrests that don’t lead to convictions are also eligible.

Vanessa Spinazola, the executive director of the Justice and Accountability Center of Louisiana, said most people seek expungements in order to land a job or get an apartment, "and then a close third is people who just want to move forward with their lives."

But moving forward comes at a cost.

An expungement costs just $30 in Maryland, but in the Bayou State it comes with the $550 price tag. Advocates say Louisiana charges the nation’s highest expungement fee. Moreover, that fee only covers a single “record event,” like one day in court.

Since one contact with the criminal justice system often leads to others, the cost of a fully clean slate can quickly rise, according to Kelly Orians, the co-director of the First 72+, a nonprofit for the formerly incarcerated.

Sarah Whittington, a staff attorney at the Justice and Accountability Center, said that only about one out of every ten clients that attends her group's free expungement clinics has enough money to file. The clinic’s lawyers tell the others to hold onto their paperwork until they’ve saved up the cash.

The three plaintiffs in the lawsuit say that to clear their records they'll need between $2,200 and $4,950 — money they don't have.

The suit, which has been assigned to U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles, lists Attorney General Jeff Landry, East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court Doug Welborn and East Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore as defendants. It aims to add all of the state’s clerks and prosecutors. Neither Landry nor Welborn responded to requests for comment.

Moore declined to comment on the lawsuit. But he acknowledged that the expungement process is "onerous and burdensome" and said he has been working on reform. He has proposed shifting Louisiana to a no-fee, automatic expungement process. Pennsylvania already has such a system, which uses computer software to identify and expunge eligible offenses.

Moore also backed a bill for a “clean slate” program in the Louisiana Legislature’s 2019 session that was eventually pulled.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for prosecutors across the state said that processing expungements is labor-intensive and critical work.

District Attorney Hillar Moore III speaks at a press conference on Tuesday Oct. 15, 2019, in Baton Rouge, La.

“It is important to remember that in many instances the background checks conducted by employers such as educational institutions, financial institutions, public safety agencies and other entities who employ persons with access to our children and sensitive information is an intended safeguard against victimization of innocent persons,” said Loren Lampart, executive director of the Louisiana District Attorneys Association.

Still, advocates say the process needs reform. For his part, Moore has been meeting with a committee of district attorneys, clerks of court, judges, sheriffs, police and public defenders in recent months to come up with a plan for automatic expungement and eventually craft new legislation.

“We’re all together on the need for some change,” he said. “We want everyone to eventually be able to have their records clear, except for those that should not, that public safety would demand their record must be there.”

Are Ohio's licensing rules out of whack?

By Katie Wedell • Jan 7, 2018 at 6:00 AM

It takes nearly a year of training to become a licensed barber in Ohio, but one can become an advanced emergency medical technician — with the ability to administer narcotics — in less than six weeks.

Ohio is the only state in the U.S. to license social work assistants, who are not able to do actual counseling but perform tasks such as intake assessments, screenings, record keeping and case management.

Ohio also licenses several professions that are licensed by fewer than half the states in the nation — including upholsterers, wildlife control operators and opticians.

While very few people would want to get on a plane flown by a unlicensed pilot or have surgery performed by a unlicensed doctor, the necessity of having licenses for upholsterers, auctioneers or makeup artists has been questioned.

Professional licensing boards dictate training requirements for more than a quarter of the state’s workers.

Ohio lawmakers are considering changes to some requirements amid concerns that over-regulation is keeping some people — including many from the generation most apt to leave the state — from gaining employment.

“Ohio’s licensing requirements have prevented more than 7,000 people between the ages of 25-45 from pursuing licensed occupations in the state,” says a new study by the Buckeye Institute, a conservative think tank.

The group says it derived that figure using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data and a computer model that calculates potential benefits from reducing requirements.

Industries that have created licensing requirements argue such regulation is needed to ensure workers are adequately trained and to protect the public from fly-by-night operators who could make the profession look bad.

Potential auctioneers in Ohio, for example, must attend auction school, serve a full year as an apprentice and act as a bid caller in 12 auctions before they can apply for a license. The state is one of 30 to require auctioneers to have a license.

“With the program, consumers can feel confident that auctioneers in Ohio are properly trained and tested, are on a level playing field with one another and are held to standards,” said Brett Gates, deputy communications director for the Ohio Department of Agriculture, which administers the program overseeing the state’s more than 2,500 auctioneer licensees.

How much training is enough?

Arguments over how much regulation is necessary — and when regulation becomes over-regulation — are occurring in state after state and at the federal level. After passage of the tax bill last month, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell praised President Donald Trump for tackling the “over-regulation of the American economy.”

But some of the battles over licensing requirements are not just between Democrats and Republicans, or constituent group against constituent group. There is disagreement in some cases even within the same industry.

Take the battle brewing over proposed changes to cosmetology licenses in Ohio.

Two bills — Senate Bill 129 and House Bill 189 — would reduce the number of education hours needed for various cosmetology-related licenses, including lowering from 1,500 hours to 1,000 hours the training needed for a basic cosmetologist license.

The Ohio Salon Association is in favor of the changes because states like New York are already licensing after 1,000 hours of training. That’s also the number of hours required of students attending career technology schools.

“Currently public school students get 1,000 (cosmetology) hours,” said OSA Executive Director Elizabeth Murch. They make up the remaining 500 hours with other high school subjects, but are passing the licensing tests at the same rate as students who attend private cosmetology schools for 1,500 hours.

“Being in school longer is not the answer,” Murch said. Private cosmetology school for one year can cost as much as $28,000, she said, leaving workers making $12 to $15 an hour with a lot of debt coming out of school.

“We don’t have enough licensees to fill the jobs that are available,” she said. “We don’t want to be deregulated as an industry, we want to be properly regulated.”

But others in the industry have expressed concern that lowering training requirements will lower the standard of service.

Sue Carter Moore, president emeritus of Salon Schools group in Columbus, called the bills “devastating” to small salons, which are usually women-owned, and do not have the resources to train new employees to a level necessary for professional salon services.

“Proponents of these bills are nationally franchised hair-cutting chains that we believe have over-sold franchises and now face a labor shortage,” Moore said in a Change.org petition against the bills.

‘It definitely creates a real problem’

The Buckeye Institute study — titled “Still Forbidden to Succeed: The Negative Effects of Occupational Licensing on Ohio’s Workforce” — argues that Ohio’s licensing laws disproportionately impact middle-aged and low-income workers, and those without a college degree.

The group worked with lawmakers to introduce House Bill 289, which would create a standing committee to review each professional licensing board every five years. Each board would have to argue for its continued existence by proving there is a public health or safety need for the professional license it oversees.

In examining each board, the proposed committee would consider whether other states regulate the same occupation and what amount of training other states require. The committee would also consider whether the professional license has inhibited economic growth, reduced efficiency or increased the cost of government.

“It definitely creates a real problem for the folks who don’t have higher education degrees. It hurts people that are usually at the lower end of the income spectrum as they are trying to get into the labor force and move up,” said Greg Lawson a research fellow for the Buckeye Institute. “In many of these cases licenses have less to do with real public safety concerns and a lot more to do with raising the barrier to entry for folks and making it harder for folks to get working.”

‘The market works’

Ohio requires licenses for fewer occupations than the average state, according to the Buckeye Institute report, but the state’s requirements for many licenses are more burdensome than others, with average fees of $137, average required training of 341 days, and at least one exam.

More than one-quarter of U.S. workers now require a state-issued license to do their jobs, according to a 2015 White House report.

Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta addressed the issue last summer at the annual meeting of the conservative group, the American Legislative Exchange Council.

“The growth of occupational licensing is part of a nationwide trend where we regulate, and regulate, and regulate,” Acosta said. “Excess licensing hinders the American workforce.”

While licensing can help ensure high-quality, professional services, studies have also found it makes it harder for workers to enter a profession and can increase costs for consumers, according to Lawson.

It’s not just the cost of tuition for professional license programs that’s a hindrance, he said. It’s also the time out of the workforce to attend training. To get a shampooer license in Ohio, an individual needs to complete 30 weeks of training.

In contrast, he said, police academies in Ohio typically offer 16-week training programs.

“High fees and training requirements reduce an occupation’s job growth by 20 percent, as prospective workers who cannot afford to enter the occupation remain unemployed or underemployed,” the Buckeye Institute’s report says.

Lawson also argues that the regulations in Ohio don’t take into account the abundance of information available to today’s consumers, who can use social media and other means for seeking out quality businesses.

“The market works,” he said. In the past, a government license for a barber or pest control service was like a stamp of approval that the individual was well trained and could be trusted to do a good job.

“Because you didn’t have the information about who was good and who was bad,” Lawson said. “Today, there’s tons of information. There are tons of reviews. You’ve got Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s List.”

‘Licenses exist for a reason’

Some worry the movement to deregulate occupations will go too far.

“Licenses exist for a reason,” said Holly Ross, legislative agent for the Ohio Society of Professional Engineers, which opposes House Bill 289. “Engineers are the people we depend upon to build our bridges and our roads and our sewer systems… and to call into question the agencies that regulate those licenses calls into question the whole institution.”

Not only are licensed engineers needed on public works projects, Ross said, but the board that oversees professional engineers — the Engineers and Surveyors Board — shouldn’t have to prove its worth every five years.

“They are extremely qualified at what they do,” she said.

Joe Warino, vice president of legislative and government affairs for the OSPE, said the movement to limit requirements shouldn’t be directed at occupations that impact public safety.

“I don’t believe that there’s a need to justify our existence,” he said.

Piercings - Ancient Practice or Latest Fashion Statement?

multiple eyebrow piercings

The art of body piercings has been practiced from ancient times and today, it is the ultimate for men, as well as women, to have multiple-piercings carried out on any part of their body, to modify and enhance it by using jewelry to cover the opening. While some people may pierce their ear or nose for religious reasons, it has become culturally fashionable to pierce any part of the nose, lip, tongue, eyebrow, navel, nipple, genital and well! You name it - almost any part of the body. The reason could be spiritual, sexual or to look and feel fashionable.

Safe Piercings Ear Piercing Video

As far back as in the 14th century, nipple pircing was the fashion statement for men as well as women, most of whom were celebrities and models that popularized this type of body modification. Starting from the base of their nipples, women have had piercings done, to enable them to wear jewelry one on top of the other. The healing process ranges from about four months to a year. They claim that their sensitivity and feelings of arousal are heightened with nipple pierce.

Piercings and Kamasutra

It is difficult to gauge the inception of genital pierce, though mention has been made in the “Kamasutra,” which is an ancient Sanskrit text. There is mention of the male organ being adorned with jewelry in this book that spells out the rules of sensuality and love in the Hindu society. However, in the 1970s, evidence is clear of the popularity of genital piercing was started in America, when the Prince Albert piercing became a common phenomenon that entered mainstream society. It is possible that sexual implants in the genitalia can increase stimulation for the partner. This is the reason couples go through “compatible piercings,” to ensure that they gratify their loved one. The pieces of jewelry that are used to adorn certain parts of the genitalia are seen only by people who are involved with each other.

Indian actress with nose piercing

In India, when a child is born, it is common to pierce the ear of the girl baby, before she is three years of age. While we attribute this reason to religious and spiritual sentiments, acupuncturists believe that the ear lobe is the acupunctural point for vision and therefore, therapeutically beneficial. This sort of pierce is best done by an experienced practitioner under sterile conditions.

Understand the risks and complications that can occur when you decide to get percings on eyebrows, nose, lips, tongue and/or the navel. It is true that some people pierce their bodies because they revel in the pain caused. Use cold compresses made of sea-salt and water solution during the healing process. Leave the area alone as you can rip the skin by rotating jewelry or picking at the scabs. Once it has healed, you can enjoy wearing stunning pieces of jewelry to enhance the area. Care should be taken to prevent any form of infection or “stretching.” Celebs and models have no qualms of displaying their nipple piercing and jewelry Try not to add weight when you select your gems or shimmery baubles.

 Four Ways to Keep Your Workplace Safe - Noviqu | Next Level Metrics

Four Ways to Keep Your Workplace Safe

Safety in the workplace is a top priority, regardless of the company. Every industry is exposed to a number of safety risks and by knowing, understanding, and ensuring against these risks, not only will the daily operations go smoothly and without any unforeseen interruptions, it will also cut on costs, increase morale and productivity, and it will inevitably save lives and prevent injury. Below are four ways to help keep your workplace safe.

Safety Training over Budget

It’s not uncommon for certain companies to restructure themselves or trim the budget due to financial restrictions. Unfortunately, often the first things to go are usually safety training and other safety systems in place. This managerial decision is not only shortsighted but also potentially dangerous.

When employees do not receive sufficient safety training or are not required to adhere to certain procedures or use proper safety equipment, it is only a matter of time before they are involved in a serious accident that can lead to property damages, injury, or even death. In the event something like this ever happening, the employee may be out of work for good and the employer will need to find a replacement.

Besides an immediate dip in overall morale and productivity across the company, the turnover cost of hiring someone new can range anywhere in between 5.8 to 213 percent of that employee's salary. In other words, replacing an $8 per hour employee can cost upwards of $4,000, which defeats the purpose of saving costs.

Working with the Right Subcontractors

When working with independent contractors, it is advisable that their employees also adhere to safety precautions. Even though they are not your employees, one such partnership can and will affect your own reputation. Likewise, untrained or ill-equipped personnel can put your own employees at risk of injury. The FTC has provided some guidelines when hiring subcontractors that can greatly decrease your risk factor when working with independent contractors.

Promoting Communication

The effectiveness of any team depends on its capacity to communicate. Many accidents in the workplace occur when there is a break in communications, both on a horizontal or vertical level. Employees should be encouraged to report any errors or potential safety issues instead of trying to fix them by themselves or hide it from their colleagues or superiors. They should also be allowed to speak their mind and offer suggestions on how to improve safety or streamline operations. The more open and honest communication a team can encourage, the safer and stronger that team will be.

A Clean Workspace Is a Safe Workspace

Keeping the workspace clean and clutter-free should go without saying. It isn't a stretch of the imagination to see how a chaotic worksite is an accident waiting to happen. Poorly stored tools and containers can fall and injure someone, and workers may trip over debris that isn’t picked up properly. These seemingly benign slips, trips, and falls are, in fact, the leading cause of serious accidents in any workspace.

In short, maintaining safety in the workplace boils down to proper training, safety equipment and procedures, adhering to the safety rules, a good internal communication, and an organized work site. Safety isn’t just a feel good thing to implement: it’s an investment that pays for itself many times over.


text: Within the framework of SafetyNet, an EC co-funded research project, the objective of this research is the analysis of road safety parameters related to children inEurope by the use of the EU CARE database with disaggregate data on road accidents as well as of other international data files (OECD/IRTAD, Eurostat, etc.). Data for ten years and 14 EU countries on road accidents involving children are correlated with basic safety parameters like the mode of transport, the casualty person class road network type, as well as the day of the week, the time of the day and the season. This comparative analysis revealed a decrease of more than 45% in children fatalities in traffic accidents from 1995 to 2004, considerably better than the respective decrease of 26% in the total number of fatalities.  It was also shown that children are, on average, at less than a quarter of the risk of dying at a road accident than the average person. Additionally, children in passenger cars account for more than two-fifths of child fatalities, whilst child pedestrian fatalities account for just over a quarter. Specific countries with higher children accident fatalities for particular accident types were also identified. The results of the analysis allow for an overall picture of the safety level of children in Europe, providing thus useful support to all decision makers working for the improvement of safety in the European road network.

Partnership Limited by Shares (KGaA)

The partnership limited by shares (Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien, KGaA) combines the structures of a stock corporation (AG) and a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft). It connects the entrepreneurial commitment and personal standing of the individually liable shareholders (general partners) with the function of the AG as a public company and source of capital. The KGaA can be described as a stock corporation having individually liable shareholders (general partners) instead of a management board.

The KGaA is not a frequently used legal form in Germany. It is liable to corporate income tax, solidarity surcharge and trade tax.

Liability of Partners

The KGaA can have an unlimited number of capital investors (limited shareholders), whose liability is limited once they have paid their subscribed capital contribution. The minimum share capital of a KGaA is (in total) EUR 50,000. The limited shareholders have more or less the same legal rights as shareholders in an AG. At least one partner of the KGaA, the general partner, has to be liable for debts and liabilities of the KGaA without limitation.

The KGaA must be entered into the commercial register and registered with the local trade office.

The Nationals in Government have continued to argue for more drought relief measures, and now the latest funding to combat the drought’s impact is ready to flow.

Since the budget earlier this year The Nationals in Government have secured an additional $355 million to step up the drought response. This announcement triples this to more than $1 billion since the election, as well as more than $1 billion in new interest free loans, to see people through.

This is money into the pockets of all those farmers and graziers who know they have a future, but are currently struggling to keep their operations running as the crippling effects of this drought continue to bite that we’ve heard from out on the ground. They are backing themselves and we are backing them to make it through to the better days that will be ahead.

It’s not only farmers doing it tough in drought. Our next step in drought support also has an eye squarely on those communities feeling the strain as work dries up and spending in local stores slows down.

Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Nationals Leader Michael McCormack said the latest initiatives would deliver an extra $709 million worth of direct support.

“Communities across Australia are suffering the effects of the prolonged dry spell and today’s announcement is the next step in the measures to help ease the burden of the drought,” Mr McCormack said.

“This suite of measures go to the heart of what matters to these communities. From small businesses to primary producers, we are working with communities to take the pressure off one of the worst droughts in history.

“Not only is the Government continuing to respond as the drought progresses, but we are working on measures to assist in the recovery when the rains come, which includes the Government’s billion dollar investment in water infrastructure.”

“We’re getting local projects and infrastructure work underway to keep finance flowing, trades in work and money rolling through local stores.”

Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Nationals Leader Michael McCormack

Nationals Agriculture Minister Bridget McKenzie said a new loans program for small businesses and making existing drought loans interest free for two years would deliver immediate support for everything from buying fodder to transporting stock and agisting cattle through to paying staff and purchasing new equipment. The Regional Investment Corporation’s mandate sets its interest rate just to cover administration and borrowing costs.

“These loans mean farmers and small business owners can do what they need to, right now at zero cost,” Senator McKenzie said.

“Farmers will not have to pay a cent for the next two years and we’ll keep assessing the program if the drought runs longer than that to ensure repayments are affordable.

“With $200 million worth of loans committed already, we estimate the new small business program and the changes to the Drought Loans for farms will see around $1.2 billion issued over the next three years that they can put to their priorities.”

The Nationals in Government will continue to listen to drought-affected Australia, respond and step up.

Planting Instructions for Queen Palms

 Search Culture
Healthy Queen Palms have dark green lacy fronds that appear lustrous in canopies of feathery plumes. The trees have showy flowers that emerge from pods in summer that are followed by hanging clusters of date-like fruits that appear in mid-winter. The trees do not generally require pruning, although it may be necessary to remove dead fronds by hand.

Pale green leaves and a lack of robust growth indicate a need for more nitrogen. Translucent yellow or orange leaf spots means the palm needs more potassium. Potassium deficiency is a common condition that affects all kinds of palms and not just the queen palms. Magnesium deficiency shows up as a yellow band on the outside of older leaves, while the middle part of the leaf stays green. Scorched or frizzled leaves indicate a manganese deficiency. These conditions are prevented with a good fertilization program.

Palms may be able to manage with 2 applications but less is not recommended. For palms under 8 feet tall, 2 to 5 lbs. is an adequate amount. Newly planted palms receive less, generally 1 to 2 pounds, depending on size. Spread the fertilizer by hand under the canopy. Avoid allowing the fertilizer to touch the trunk, because it may damage newly emerging roots.
Queen palms are easy to care for as long as they are planted in well-drained soils that keep the roots aerated. Queen palms grow in USDA planting zones 9 through 11, areas that often have sandy soils.

Sandy soils are porous and problematic because nutrients tend to leach out easily. Provide the best care for a queen palm tree by making sure it receives the recommended amounts of fertilization.

TV casting

4 Ways Movie Casting is Different From TV Casting

With television’s creativity and talent blossoming in recent years, it’s becoming more usual to see A-List actors and big budgets gracing the small screen. In terms of production value, there’s not a lot to distinguish a show like Game of Thrones from major theatrical releases. Even so, casting for film and television can make different demands on an actor. Just as on-camera acting differs from stage acting, television acting (and hence casting) is different from that of casting for film … and even within television, there is a are a variety of factors casting directors have in mind.

We’ve created this list to help you make intelligent decisions when you get called for your next big audition.

  1. In film, the script is complete.

Sure some films will demand improvisation and require some rewriting during production, but in general the outcome of the film is determined long before an actor is called to audition, which means that the director and producers have a good idea of what they want for the part.

  1. Television scripts are waiting to be written.

On the other hand, television — and in particular television pilots — are an opportunity for actors to create a role, and your personality will at least in part determine the arc of the character as the show enjoys years of success! The viewers will be tuning in to see you, and the writers will be writing for you, so your personality needs to shine through in the audition.

  1. Not all television casting is created equal.

Of course, even casting for pilots in prime time shows is different than for a recurring role in an established show and different again for casting for a guest in a single episode.

Casting director Marci Phillips lays it out in The Present Actor: “One And Done Episodic roles are trickier. When we’re casting Series Regulars, we’re looking for Stars. This usually isn’t so when we’re looking to cast the rest of the episode. With an Under-5 or small Co-star TV role, you are usually there for exposition. You are there to serve and support the story, so they don’t necessarily want someone unique or fascinating unless that’s what the role specifically calls for.”

  1. Network casting vs. cable.

Cable shows have become increasingly filmic in recent years, and hence the performances of the actors more nuanced. Scenes are allowed to unfold without regards to commercial breaks, so it’s important to think about the kind of show you’re auditioning for: network or cable.

As this article at Cast It Talent suggests, network performances tend to be more condensed: “Television programs are built around commercial breaks, and to make sure you don’t change the channel, that’s when the victim tells the detective they know who the killer really is. A dramatic pause, music cue, and the camera slowly inches closer to the detective’s astonished/puzzled/worried face. Cut to commercial.”

Sound confusing? The only way to really grasp the differences is to perform many scenes and practice auditioning for a variety of roles. The New York Film Academy (NYFA) is a great place to learn the subtle and not-so-subtle differences in technique required for film and television acting, so that, when you get to your big-break audition, you will nail it.

Lease with Option to Purchase, NY

A Lease with Option to Purchase is a Lease that contains a method for the tenant to elect to purchase the property on or before a certain time period. There are usually payments, in addition to rent, that need to be made in order to keep the option open. These payments are used towards the ultimate purchase price, but are forfeited if the option is not exercised. An option to purchase is considered “time of the essence”, meaning that if the tenant doesÂ not exercise the option strictly, it will be forfeited, along with the option payments made. There may be some leaway for a tenant if the time delay is de minimus, and no prejudice has inured to the landlord.

Options to Purchase can be dangerous for both the landlord and the tenant. What a landlord needs to be concerned about, is that if the tenant is in breach, and a summary proceeding is necessary, the tenant may try to hold it up by claiming the option to purchase was breached by the landlord. the tenant brings an action in Supreme Court, it could stay the summary proceeding. In the meantime, the landlord may not be able to collect rent if the tenant is refusing to pay. A Supreme Court action could take many months. The tenant could also attempt to file a notice of pendency with the County Clerk, which would prevent the owner from selling the property to anyone else while the action is pending. On the tenant’s side, if they do not strictly comply with the lease, they may forfeit the sometimes substantial option payments.

A tenant may wish to have a Lease with Option to Purchase to give them the opportunity to build up credit, and make payments towards the purchase price over time. They may not have the ability to purchase outright. A landlord is being compensated for giving this option, because if the option is not exercised, he or she will be able to keep the extra payments as compensation.

I have seen parties craft their own Option to Purchase, without either side consulting an attorney. This is most likely to lead to problems, because the law of options is very specific, and needs to be known before entering into such contracts. Both the landlord and tenant would be wise to have their own separate counsel to advise them of the responsibilities, benefits and risks in entering into such contracts.

I love competition as long as I win.  I don’t like competition when it makes me compete on price.  That’s not good for either of us.  When you are competing on price you’ve been commoditized.  Yuck!

With a great marketing strategy, you can differentiate yourself from the competition and never compete on price again.  A great marketing strategy requires 4 things that, when done well, will allow you to stand head and shoulders above the competition. Your marketing strategy is an important part of your strategic plan.

We use The Vision/Traction Organizer™ (VTO) as our ultimate 2-page strategic plan as part of our business operating system.

A Clear Marketing Strategy Starts with an Avatar and a List

When I started my first company my ideal client was very clear.  It was all the people who attended company picnics when I was a kid.  It just so happens that my father was in the same industry I started my first company in.  You could say the business is in the blood.  His friends started other companies and ended up dominating the industry.  They were my target market and that’s where I started. However, as the company grew my target market had to shift.  We tried all manner of marketing strategies to get new leads and wasted a ton of time talking to people outside of our ideal psychographic, demographic and geographic profile.  It wasn’t until we created “The List” that we were able to focus on who our real clients were.  Once we created “The List” we obsessed over the names every single day.  Here’s what you need to include when creating your own list.

  1. Geographic – We were looking in the 8 industry hotbeds in the United States.
  2. Psychographic – The idea client was appreciative, open and honest, needed help, interested in teamwork, and was a fast decision maker.
  3. Demographic – Age 30-55, college educated, Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical Devices, 500+ Employees, Manager and above, member of ISPE, PDA

This creates a great way to search LinkedIn and other databases that you can use to create your list of idea clients.  Start creating your list today.  You won’t regret it.

What’s the Message?

Once you’ve created “The List” you need to determine what is the message that they find most valuable AND is unique only to you.  This can take some time, but in the end it will be worth it.  If you can’t find 3-4 things that when taken together eliminates your competition you will compete only on price.  That doesn’t sound like any fun.  Think about what you do, what can you do that no one else can?  Some may do 1 or 2, but not a single competitor can do all 3 or 4.  Once you are clear on what makes you unique you need to make sure all your sales and marketing efforts are communicating these unique selling points. Don’t forget your employees in your marketing messaging.  Having a few uniques that differentiate you isn’t good enough, you have to let your employees in on the secret.  It will help them be crystal clear on how they should be delivering the product/service.  It will help them make better decisions and you will ultimately sell more.

What’s the Process?

Next, you need to let customers know what the process is when they are working with you.  I have The EOS Process™ that lets my clients know what to expect and when to expect it.  You want to create a graphical representation of what your customer experience will be.  This goes beyond touch-points and should indicate an on-going relationship with you.  Keep your avatar in mind from “The List”.  What is an experience they will appreciate?  Is it easy to work with you?

What’s the Guarantee?

A great marketing strategy has a guarantee that proactively reduces the risk of clients working with you will help you sell more and create a better relationship with your clients.  For example, my guarantee for a session day is “if you don’t get value, you don’t pay me.”  It’s simple and powerful.  It also keeps me on my toes ensuring that all expectations are met every session.  I always use Costco as my example for this.  The company’s return policy is so powerful and so simple I purposely buy there because I know I can return just about anything without hassle.  If you make a great guarantee, you won’t regret it.  You’ll end up providing better service than you do now and you’ll differentiate yourself putting your money where your mouth is.

4-Steps to a Great Marketing Strategy

  1. Create “The List”
  2. Decide on your 3-4 uniques
  3. Create your proven process
  4. Communicate a guarantee and stand by it

Enhanced drivers' education boosts risk awareness in teens

According to a new study, taking a supplemental drivers' education program that includes a trip to a hospital could help teens in Florida better understand the consequences of risky driving. However, the study, which was conducted by researchers at Baylor University, was unable to determine if the program caused teens to adopt safer driving habits.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that car crashes are the top cause of accidental deaths for American teenagers. In order to better understand the issue, Baylor researchers surveyed 21 young drivers who took part in the Texas Reality Education for Drivers, which is also known as RED. The teens who took the course were either enrolled by their parents or referred by a court, school or community group. Before completing the RED program, the participants were asked to fill out questionnaires regarding their awareness of risky driving behaviors and the types of risky behaviors they had recently engaged in.

The six-hour RED program includes lectures, discussions and videos about safe driving habits. It also includes a visit to a hospital emergency room where nurses and other health care professionals talk about their experiences treating car crash victims. After completing the program, the teens expressed greater awareness of certain risky driving behaviors. However, researchers conducted a follow-up two months later and said it was unclear whether the teens' increased awareness led to safer driving habits.

A victim injured in a car accident caused by a teen driver could file a personal injury lawsuit to collect damages. An attorney could help prepare the claim and work to negotiate a settlement that covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other crash-related damages.

Octorara Soccer Club LanChester United

About Us...The Octorara Soccer Club (OSC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization located in the Southern Chester County Area serving boys and girls between age 4-18. We are dedicated to not only developing young soccer players, but also to providing our youth with a positive environment in which to develop the positive attributes that team sports provide. Thanks for visiting our site and please check out other pages within our site by clicking on the links on the navigation bar on the left side of this page.

Our Mission...The goal of the Octorara Soccer Clubs is to provide an opportunity for all interested youth to play soccer in a safe and fun environment while instilling in them the highest standard of sportsmanship, leadership and fair play on and off the field.

Our History
... The Octorara Soccer Club (OSC) started off with a single adult team in 1964 founded by Gene Davis that played in the Delco Soccer League. In 1969, that team morphed into multiple teams and a summer league was created by OSC consisting of both adult and high school teams. This league ran until 1997.  Along the way, Gene found time to create OSC’s first intramural program for the ’78-’79 season.  He felt that the High School program needed better support at the youth level and intramural program was the way to go.  After the success of the intramural program, OSC fielded its first travel team in 1983. Unfortunately, it only lasted one season, but the travel team concept wasn’t gone for good. In the Fall of 1991, the travel program came back with a bang as soccer across the country was exploding. The travel program still produces a quality product to this day.  To quantify this explosion the intramural program player participation jumped from 50 players in 1992 to 200+ kids in 1993.   A tribute to Gene’s vision of get’em when they’re young and keep them together came to fruition when the Octorara H.S. Men’s Soccer Team won the PIAA Class AA state title in 1999 for the first time in the schools 49 year history.  The Mens Team also went on to win the PIAA Class AA State Title in 2009.  The H.S. team is now a part of the Lancaster Lebanon League, joining in the fall of 2018.   Presently OSC is going through another metamorphosis with numerous changes just as the soccer world is changing. One of the changes was the creation of our travel specific program, LanChester United. This program includes players from multiple local school districts and players from Delaware & Maryland.

So don’t sit back and enjoy the ride, help drive us into the future by volunteering and be a part something special!!

Govt missed chance on alcohol: article

Doug Sellman

Another government has missed an opportunity to curb excessive drinking and reduce harm, upset University of Otago mental health experts say.

Four psychiatrists and a psychologist from the university have outlined their concerns about the Government failing to act on the key recommendation relating to alcohol in the recent inquiry into mental health and addiction.

The recommendation was to increase regulation of alcohol.

Prof Doug Sellman, Associate Prof Simon Adamson, Dr James Foulds, Dr Ben Beaglehole and Prof Roger Mulder, of the Department of Psychological Medicine at the University of Otago, Christchurch, wrote an article published yesterday in the New Zealand Medical Journal.

Prof Sellman said the recent report of the inquiry was the fourth government-initiated report in the past decade that recommended stronger regulation of alcohol.

The recommendation was: "Take a stricter regulatory approach to the sale and supply of alcohol, informed by the recommendations from the 2010 Law Commission review, the 2014 Ministerial Forum on Alcohol Advertising and Sponsorship and the 2014 Ministry of Justice report on alcohol pricing."

The experts said stricter regulation of the sale and supply of alcohol was one of the easiest and most effective ways a government could improve the nation's wellbeing and reduce misery.

"Dismantling all alcohol marketing, raising the price of alcohol and curbing alcohol sales are three of the most effective specific elements of stricter regulation, each of which has featured in the unheeded advice to governments in recent years.

"We remain hopeful that a government in the near future will show the necessary leadership to act boldly on alcohol, in similar fashion to the government which acted in the public's best interest on tobacco 30 years ago and in fact in similar fashion to this current government's recent action on guns," they said.

Alcohol was the drug doing the most damage to New Zealanders' mental health and wellbeing, the group said.

"It is the cause of widespread damage and suffering, and costs the country an estimated $7.85billion per year," the editorial states.

"Apart from various emotional and mental health sequelae of injury, violence and chronic disease including carcinogenicity, alcohol can directly cause clinical depression, is associated with a number of anxiety syndromes and is a significant factor in causing about a third of completed suicides."
