The Law in NYC
Posted here with underlined sections relevant to the cause, are the Laws of the City and State of New York regarding Graffiti.
The intent is to educate as to the specifics, to dissuade the public from the practice and to ultimately one day provide enough of an influence through an endeavor such as Graffitti Park to make changes to the law itself.
City and State Anti-Graffiti Legislation
New York City Graffiti Laws
§ 10-117. Defacement of property, possession, sale and display of aerosol spray paint cans, [and] broad tipped markers and etching acid prohibited in certain instances.
a. No person shall write, paint or draw any inscription, figure or mark of any type on any public or private building or other structure or any other real or personal property owned, operated or maintained by a public benefit corporation, the city of New York or any agency or instrumentality thereof or by any person, firm, or corporation, or any personal property maintained on a city street or other city-owned property pursuant to a franchise, concession or revocable consent granted by the city, unless the express permission of the owner or operator of the property has been obtained.
b. No person shall carry an aerosol spray paint can, [or] broad tipped indelible marker or etching acid into any public building or other public facility with the intent to violate the provisions of subdivision a of this section.
c. No person shall sell or offer to sell an aerosol spray paint can, [or] broad tipped indelible marker or etching acid to any person under eighteen years of age.
d. All persons who sell or offer for sale aerosol spray paint cans, [or] broad tipped indelible markers or etching acid shall not place such cans, [or] markers or etching acid on display and may display only facsimiles of such cans, [or] markers or etching acid containing no paint, [or] ink or etching acid.
e. For the purpose of this section, the term "broad tipped indelible marker" shall mean any felt tip marker or similar implement containing a fluid that is not water soluble and which has a flat or angled writing surface one-half inch or greater. For the purpose of this section, the term "etching acid" shall mean any liquid, cream, paste or similar chemical substance that can be used to etch, draw, carve, sketch, engrave, or otherwise alter, change or impair the physical integrity of glass or metal.
§2. This local law shall take effect 120 days after enactment.
Title 10 § 117.1 establishes an Anti-Graffiti Task Force that assesses the scope and nature of the City's graffiti problem, examines the effectiveness of existing provisions of law aimed at curbing graffiti vandalism and proposes amendments to strengthen such legislation. Furthermore, the Task Force reviews current law enforcement activity and suggests ways to augment enforcement capability, identifies existing anti-graffiti programs in the City, surveys the efforts of other jurisdictions to combat graffiti and considers the replication of such programs in New York City, and proposes a comprehensive anti-graffiti program.
Title 10 § 117.2 of the New York City Administrative Law Code allows the Mayor to offer and pay a reward, not exceeding $500, to any person who provides information leading to the apprehension, persecution or conviction of any person who vandalizes property.
New York State Graffiti Laws
§145.00 of the State Penal Law states that a person is guilty of criminal mischief in the fourth degree when he or she, having no right to do so, intentionally damages property of another person, intentionally participates in the destruction of an abandoned building or recklessly damages property of another person in an amount exceeding $250.
§145.05 of the State Penal Law states that a person is guilty of criminal mischief in the third degree when with the intent to damage property of another person, and having no right to do so, he or she damages property of another person in an amount exceeding $250. §145.10 states that a person is guilty of criminal mischief in the second degree when, with intent to damage property of another person, and having no right to do so, he or she damages property of another person in an amount exceeding $1,500.
In New York State a misdemeanor is defined as a crime punishable by less than one year in jail. There are three categories of misdemeanors in New York: (1) Class A misdemeanors, such as Petit Larceny (Penal Law § 155.25) and Assault in the 3rdDegree (Penal Law § 120.00), which are punishable by up to one year in jail, three years probation, or a combination of jail time (up to 60 days) and three years probation; (2) Class B misdemeanors, such as Criminal Possession of Marijuana in the 5th Degree (Penal Law § 221.10) and Criminal Trespass in the 3rd Degree (Penal Law § 140.10), which are punishable by up to 90 days jail, one year probation; and (3) Unclassified misdemeanors, which often fall under the Vehicle and Traffic Law, such as Driving While Intoxicated (VTL § 1192(2), et seq.) and Driving with a Suspended License (VTL § 511(1), et. seq.). These offenses can be punishable by up to one year in jail as well.
New York also has numerous violation-level offenses, such as Disorderly Conduct (Penal Law § 240.20, et. seq.) and Harassment in the Second Degree (Penal Law § 240.26), which are not considered "crimes" per se but can be punishable by up to 15 days in jail.
Like a felony, a misdemeanor conviction becomes part of a person's permanent criminal record, which can be accessed by law enforcement, government agencies and civilian employers. If you have been convicted of a misdemeanor offense, you have been convicted of a crime.
Often those charged with a misdemeanor offense are arrested and brought to a police precinct or station where they are "processed." A person must be fingerprinted for all felony and most misdemeanor cases and this is typically done as part of the arrest processing. In addition, pedigree information will be taken by the police officer processing the arrest, and the defendant may be questioned about the incident unless the defendant has invoked his right to counsel or an attorney has appeared on his behalf.
The arrest process itself can take several hours. Depending on the time of arrest a defendant may have to spend a night in police custody before being brought before the court to be arraigned (OR DAYS IF COURT IS NOT IN SESSION, AS ON WEEKENDS).
The arraignment is the initial step in the prosecution of a misdemeanor case. At the arraignment the defendant is brought before a judge where he is advised of the charges he is facing and asked to enter a plea, which should almost always be "not guilty". The prosecutor may also ask the court to require the defendant to post bail to ensure his return to court. Additionally, in certain cases, such as driving while intoxicated, the court may suspend a defendant's driving privileges at the arraignment. Having a criminal defense attorney present at the arraignment to deal with issues such as the sufficiency of the charges, entry of plea, and bail applications is always advisable.

Rekindling The Old Ways
The Amah Mutsun and the Recovery of Traditional Ecological Knowledge
by Mary Ellen Hannibal on April 06, 2016

In late October 1769, a group of bedraggled Spanish soldiers arrived overland in the territory of the Quiroste Indians on the San Mateo coast. Motivated by news of the encroaching Russian fur trade, the King of Spain had directed Captain Gaspar de Portola to head north from his base in Baja California to secure a base for colonization of the California coast. Portola's specific charge was to find Monterey Bay, sighted from sea some 150 years earlier by Sebastian Vizcaino. However, Monterey Harbor seemed too small to fit Vizcaino's grandiose description, so Portola kept heading north. By the time he reached the Whitehouse Creek watershed, about a mile inland from the coast at Año Nuevo Point, Portola and his men were exhausted and running low on supplies. Expedition diarist Padre Juan Crespi wrote: "Here we stopped close to a large village of very well-behaved good heathens, who greeted us with loud cheers and rejoiced greatly at our coming." He further documented a "very large grass-roofed house, round like a half-orange," and large enough to contain the whole village. There, the men were fed and given native tobacco.
Forum: Restoring Our Relations with Mother Earth
The Quiroste people restored Portola's flagging troops—a magnanimous gesture and highly consequential in California history. Led by Indian guides, Portola and his men continued up the coast and, a few days later, "discovered" San Francisco Bay from a ridge above present-day Pacifica. "The Spaniards were lost, at the end of their rope," California State Parks archaeologist Mark Hylkema told me. "The Quiroste head man could have turned them away. Instead he decided to host them." Within a few years, the Spaniards began to establish missions along the coast, disrupting an Indian way of life that had evolved with the California landscape for thousands of years.
As a long-time archaeologist specializing in the California coast, Hylkema was interested in locating the remains of what Crespi called Casa Grande, the large roundhouse structure where the Quiroste hosted the Spaniards. Working from the expedition diaries, Hylkema knew the site must be near Año Nuevo Point. He listened to stories of local tribal people, studied the landscape, and scrutinized historical documents, motivated, as he put it, because "this is where pre-history met history." First he searched along the Gazos Creek watershed in Pescadero. "But I realized the landscape there couldn't have supported such a big building. It's too wooded and there isn't enough even ground." Hylkema eventually located several sites on the valley floor of nearby Whitehouse Creek that evidenced historical Indian presence, so he zeroed in there.
Next, Hylkema turned to Chuck Striplen, then a UC Berkeley doctoral candidate and a member of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, for help exploring the site. While there are no known living descendants of the Quiroste people, the Amah Mutsun trace their lineage to historical polities in the area. Striplen, now an environmental scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute and a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley, assembled a multi-disciplinary team, including UC Berkeley archaeologist and California Indian scholar Kent Lightfoot, to begin the on-site investigation. The ongoing collaborative research at Quiroste includes the Amah Mutsun, researchers in disciplines such as ethnobotany and fire ecology, and state agency professionals.
Tall and gently authoritative, Chairman of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Valentin Lopez has more than once reminded me that today's California Indians live in two worlds. After working for the state of California for 28 years, including five years as commander for recruitment and testing for the California Highway Patrol, today Lopez is "retired" and focused on Amah Mutsun affairs. His right eye drifts, as if keeping tabs on another dimension. "In 2005 tribal elders came to a tribal council meeting and said, 'We have to get back to caring for the land. Creator never rescinded our obligation to do that.'"
A traditional healer helped keep the Mutsun language alive for tribal members to re-learn today.
"The Amah Mutsun and other coastal Indians were impacted particularly hard by colonialism," Kent Lightfoot explained to me. In the Mexican period, the missions were closed by new colonial masters, and so-called Mission Indians were sent to work on large ranchos, even farther removed from their original land base. Today's Amah Mutsun Tribal Band is composed of approximately 600 people who are direct descendants of several Mutsun-speaking tribal groups dispersed to the San Juan Bautista and Santa Cruz missions. Because they have been separated from their ancestral lands for so long, and their treaty with the federal government never ratified, the Amah Mutsun are not recognized as a sovereign tribe by the United States. Nonetheless, Lopez took the injunction from Amah Mutsun elders seriously and set about looking for ways to reinstate tribal stewardship of the land. When Hylkema and Striplen invited the tribe to participate at the Quiroste site, Lopez saw an opportunity.
On a sunny, clear July morning in 2015 I joined members of the Amah Mutsun Native Stewardship Corps and the research team from UC Berkeley at Quiroste. The corps consists of younger tribal members who are learning their heritage by doing, which in this particular case meant removing invasive plants from the valley floor. To the untrained eye the landscape looks as Portola might have found it, lush, green, and wild. But this is misleading. Ironically, one of the ways we know something about the pre-contact California landscape is from the expedition journal fastidiously kept by Padre Crespi. Crespi carefully inventoried the elements of the natural world he saw: plentiful bears, redwood forests that seemed to go on forever, fields carpeted with wildflowers, and numerous wildfires burning along the coast.
But after the Spaniards arrived they prohibited native burning. No longer cultivated by tribal people's use of controlled fires, the populations of native plants and wildlife were vastly reduced. Here at Quiroste, woody vegetation, including native coyote bush and Douglas fir, encroached on native grassland species like purple needlegrass. Grazing and farming further converted the species composition here, with invasive plants arriving either inadvertently with imported livestock or through intentional introduction as browse. Both native and nonnative species are included in the mosaic of Quiroste Valley today. As UC Berkeley archaeologist and Quiroste team member Rob Cuthrell told me, "Grasslands are now only a minor part of the landscape. We want to bring back the open coastal prairies that were described in the earliest historical documents."
Restoring a native landscape is not entirely possible but it represents a goal to move toward. Even this definition is complex. We tend to think of today's native plants as having evolved and grown in an area without human intervention. One of the central assertions of the findings at Quiroste turns this assumption on its head: California's "native" ecosystems had in fact been actively managed by the native people for a very long period of time.
In her landmark 2005 book Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California's Natural Resources, cultural historian and ethnoecologist Kat Anderson describes how California Indians used an array of sophisticated ecosystem-engineering techniques to manage their environment in order to sustainably provide for the survival needs of their clans and tribes. Along with burning, they pruned, coppiced, sowed, and weeded to intervene in the life cycle of plants and animals and to direct their growth and reproduction. Anderson's work is largely based on oral histories, ethnographic sources, and historical records. The Quiroste collaborative is building on her research to quantify scientifically assertions about what is frequently referred to as "traditional ecological knowledge."
"We have done three summers of excavations at Quiroste Valley," Cuthrell told me. "Our purpose was to investigate the resources people were using and how they were using them." The team used noninvasive geophysical techniques—including magnetometry, ground-penetrating radar, and electrical resistivity—to look into the soil without disturbing potential ancestral remains. "We created a three-dimensional model of what is underground," Cuthrell explained. "You can slice out a profile of an area and estimate, for example, how far a pit goes down." The team used a technique called flotation to collect small plant and animal remains. Lighter materials in a soil sample, like burned seeds, wood charcoal, and fish scales, float up and are collected in a chiffon screen, leaving behind denser bone and stone remnants.
Learn more about California Indians' uses of four native plants at Quiroste: redwood, wild cucumber, tanoak, and clover.
Significantly, the work at Quiroste has unearthed multiple strands of evidence of indigenous burning practices to manage species composition and abundance. Archaeobotanical research shows a high proportion of woody plants—particularly redwood and California lilac (Ceanothus)—compatible with low-intensity landscape fire. Lightning strike fire is relatively uncommon on the California coast so the evidence points instead to frequent human-instigated burning. High proportions of grassland-associated food-plant remains are a further indication of intentional burning to prevent encroachment by shrubs and trees, and contrast with the scrub and Douglas fir woodlands that characterize the valley today. Archaeofaunal data shows small mammal populations consistent with open grasslands that would have been sustained by fire. And wind-borne charcoal particles found in wetland sediments provide direct evidence of landscape fires.
Fire wasn't just used to encourage grasslands. Cuthrell hypothesizes that Native Californians also burned in conifer forests to promote growth of desirable understory species, such as hazelnut, which is rare at the site today. Left to its own devices, hazelnut may fruit only sporadically and sparsely, and "we suspect that some form of management would have been needed to make it abundant and productive enough to show up in the archaeological assemblage as much as it does in our sampling." Taken together, the data points to a conservative conclusion that burning was practiced on this landscape for at least 1,000 years prior to Spanish colonization. And that fire regime had a significant impact on "the structure, diversity, and vitality of local terrestrial communities," according to Lightfoot (California Archaeology, December 2013).
The Quiroste findings are of historical significance. As Kent Lightfoot and Otis Parrish put it in California Indians and Their Environment (2009): "They are not farmers." California Indians don't fit into the typical paradigm whereby prehistorical hunter-gatherers evolve to become agrarian producers. California Indians evolved a complex food economy without cultivating domestic crops. For example, Indian pyro-techniques did not sever the ties between the species they cultivated and the landscapes those species grew in. The people availed themselves of the adaptive capacities of wild plants and animals. Using a complex system of low-intensity staggered burns, they provoked new growth of plants for food, medicine, and material goods, including baskets, tule boats, and houses. They maintained different patches of land at different stages of succession. Newly burned fields attracted specialist bird species; freshly sprouted fields drew deer and other prey animals within striking distance. Shrubby growth appearing a year or so after a burn was home to small mammals that were hunted and trapped. Mature forests were kept healthy with low-intensity burning of duff and other natural debris. California Indians, in effect, molded the native species and landscapes to sustainably provide for all living things, including food and fiber for people.
Chuck Striplen gave me a specific example of how California Indians' traditional management of resources worked on willows. "Willows were harvested for all kinds of reasons," he said. "Some were managed to cultivate very thick stems for housing. Thick, strong sticks with wide distances between the nodes would be cultivated for basketry." Managing willows for different purposes led to creation of diverse habitat for species. "The act of clipping exposes inner plant tissue to a whole host of insects that are then fed on by birds. This goes on for hundreds and thousands of years, until you've created a habitat that is more a reflection of culture than it is of the plant itself. Because if those plants were just allowed to live and die on their own, they would go through big boom and bust cycles and not necessarily support a stable cascade of wildlife and plant species associated with them."
This is the context behind the Amah Mutsun elders' injunction to care for the landscape. Particularly in the face of climate change, it is more important than ever to understand how to restore the landscape to support native species. As Striplen told me, "We have this gaping chasm in our understanding of form and function in historical ecosystems. It makes sense to look back in time, to understand how ecosystems worked, in order to better understand how they are going to change. And to also understand how we might adapt and mitigate around those changes."
Could fire once again be introduced to this landscape and used to restore both its native diversity and its ability to sustain human existence? The answer isn't simple. It turns out that a fair amount of work must be done before controlled burning can take place. Members of the Amah Mutsun Stewardship Corps were in the midst of their second summer of this work at Quiroste Valley Cultural Preserve when I visited the site in July to see the transformation of the landscape first-hand.
Prior to commencing the workday, Chairman Lopez led tribal members into a shielded green space to smudge the site by burning dried sage. Prayers offered, the team members started their work. Whooshing machetes opened up new spaces of sky as towering stalks of poison hemlock were felled. The hemlock has been crowding out a potentially healthy population of coast tarplant (Madia sativa) , a member of the sunflower family with ethnobotanical significance for the Amah Mutsun. Tribal members would like to manage the tarplant as their ancestors did, most particularly for the seeds, which were roasted, crushed, and mixed into pinole, a porridge-like staple of coastal California tribal diets. There is still tarplant at the site, but with hemlock prevalent, there is a danger of collecting the toxic hemlock seeds along with the tarplant.
The long-term plan is to revive the practice of burning the landscape here to restore a diverse suite of plants used by California Indians, including hazelnut, red maids, California lilac, and white root sedge (a basketry material) as well as purple needlegrass, California oatgrass, blue wild rye, and native barley. But Cuthrell says that burning now could perversely increase the number of invasives rather than knocking them back. "So we're pulling out 20,000 hemlock plants," he told me, "and we'll do that year after year until we eradicate the seed bank." As Lopez explained, "It took generations for this land to come unraveled and it will take seven generations to heal it. We don't expect to get this done immediately but we must fulfill our obligation to Creator."
The Amah Mutsun's work at the Quiroste Valley Cultural Preserve has been a jumping-off point for a range of partnerships aimed at restoring the tribe's connections with its traditional practices. These include work with Pinnacles National Park, the University of California at Santa Cruz Arboretum, and the nonprofit Pie Ranch in Pescadero.
Five years ago the Amah Mutsun took another big step toward reclaiming their role as environmental stewards by entering into an historic agreement with the Sempervirens Fund, the nation's oldest conservation organization. Sempervirens was founded in 1900 to halt the destruction of the magnificent redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. "We were used to working with other natural resource management groups to protect ecological functioning here," Reed Holderman, executive director emeritus of Sempervirens, told me. "But we didn't really think about the cultural resources inherent in the landscape," until Lopez and Amah Mutsun tribal members brought Quiroste to their attention. Organizations like Sempervirens have traditionally focused on acquiring land, but not on managing it once it is protected. "We desperately need to figure out how to take care of the land," Holderman told me, "and the Amah Mutsun are poised to do it."
Attempts at collaboration between tribal people and conservation groups have often been fraught and unproductive. But, Holderman recounted, "We spent three days in lockdown, asking ourselves how we could do things better," and eventually the idea of an Amah Mutsun Land Trust emerged as a way to empower Mutsun authority on ancestral land despite the lack of federal sovereignty. "These people had everything taken from them," says Holderman. "And yet they are restoring themselves and the land. This is an amazing story."
The Memorandum of Agreement between Sempervirens and the Amah Mutsun includes provisions for descendant communities to access, manage, and restore the landscape, and Sempervirens pledges to work cooperatively with the tribe to develop educational programs to help the public understand the history and current-day situation of the land and the people.
Subsequent to the formation of the land trust, Sempervirens and the American Land Trust helped transfer into Mutsun hands a 90-acre easement on the Costanoa Lodge property just west of the Quiroste Preserve in the Whitehouse Creek watershed. As an easement, of course, the land is not "owned" by the Mutsun, but as Lopez said, "We don't need to own the land to steward it," and on this property they will be able to reinstitute tribal practices more directly than they are able to through partnerships.
In 2015, Sempervirens asked the Amah Mutsun to participate in planning for a burn in San Vicente Redwoods, a tract of second-growth redwood forest west of Boulder Creek. "When we purchased these 8,500 acres with the Peninsula Open Space Trust in 2011, it was the largest parcel of private property in the Santa Cruz Mountains," Laura McLendon told me. McLendon is Director of Land Conservation at Sempervirens.
It was obvious to McLendon that fire would have to be part of the prescription for restoration of this heavily logged property. "It's a landscape that's hungry for fire," she said. "Some of the plants there need fire to germinate or grow more robustly." The area includes stands of oaks that may have been historically cultivated by Native Californians. "We went to Val Lopez and Rob Cuthrell and asked for their help in how to approach this," she said. The resulting plan to burn 20 acres was thwarted by weather conditions in late 2015, but has been rescheduled for late fall 2016. "When we conduct a successful burn and quantify the benefits," she told me, "we'll help establish that this is an effective management tool."
In his expedition journal from Portola's 1769 voyage, Padre Juan Crespi duly documented mind-boggling fields of wildflowers, not realizing that the expedition he accompanied would lead to the demise of these blooms. Fire ecologist Richard Minnich, a professor at UC Riverside, told me that we could restore great beauty as well as better ecological functioning by reinstating fire practices on the land. "The wildflowers Crespi saw are still there," he said. "They are waiting for fire to revive their seed banks." Ultimately the science plus the history plus the traditional ecological knowledge uncovered at Quiroste will cohere when the Amah Mutsun can burn the landscape again. "Creator never rescinded our obligation to the Creation," Valentin Lopez reminded me. He seemed to look off into the distance, and there was fire in his eyes.

When California became a state in 1850, the persecution of Native Californians intensified, in some places to the point of genocide, and many tribal people suppressed their identities simply to survive. Successive waves of displacement resulted in a significant loss of cultural knowledge for the Amah Mutsun, among others.

I belong to this tribe the lopezes are my cousins I'm glad to see our generation trying to learn about our ancestors and their ways thanks for posting
Thank you for publishing this article. It is important because it explains to your readers that the landscape of grassland found by Europeans when they arrived in the Bay Area in 1776 was the result of thousands of years of active land management by Native Americans.
As the article explains, Native Americans used fire to encourage the plants they ate, used in basket making and other functional uses, and to facilitate their hunting. These fires prevented natural succession from grassland to shrubs and ultimately to climax forest. Grazing of wild animals and then the domesticated animals of early settlers maintained the grassland until the mid-twentieth century, when succession began to encroach on grassland.
Native plant advocates have selected a particular landscape that existed at a particular point in time without sufficient understanding that it was not a more "natural" landscape than the successional landscape that exists today.
Unfortunately, the tool that is used most often today to destroy shrubs and trees is herbicides. Prescribed burns are rarely permitted in urban areas because they pollute the air and frequently cause wildfires. The public is increasingly concerned about the widespread use of herbicides to create a landscape that many believe is not inherently superior to the existing landscape.
Although I applaud the engagement of Native Americans in the cultural practices of their ancestors, it is not realistic to expect the small population of Native Americans to maintain a landscape that no longer feeds and houses them.
This is a great article! Very informative
Excellent article.
A good place to work on Coastal Prairie restoration is at Point Reyes National Seashore.
Amah Mutsun recently put out our first newsletter. There's some good articles if you would like to know/learn more. It directs you to our website. Hope you take the time. Thank you
As a tribal member and a steward I'm proud of the accomplishments of our tribe and those groups who have helped us!? As for those who say that it is unrealistic that we tend land that was the land of our culture because we have been forcefully removed and disenfranchised. Not long ago people tryed saying we didn't exist! And that we would never get our culture back. Unrealistic is expecting me or our youth who care about our culture to just let it go!
Oh and by the way though grazing kept some grasslands it brought invasive plant that have reeked havoc on the ecosystem. And as for untouched forest built up by fire suppression is not a natural part of the regions Eco succession due to the natral fires that occurs when a built fuels and fire susceptible doug fir! So sorry if my opinions may not be popular with inexperienced conservatives but my opinion is base on experience education and science.
great insight to California's true ancestors

Securities Fraud in Texas
As most people know by now, Texas state Attorney General Ken Paxton was indicted in Collin County for two counts of Securities Fraud in Texas and one count of Failing to Register. Further, as is the case in every significant political prosecution, discussions of whether the cases are bona fide prosecutions or politically motivated hatchet-jobs swirl with many people on both sides weighing in.
However, for the neutral citizen who is trying to form his or her own opinion as to the seriousness of Mr. Paxton's actions and his fitness to serve in such a high office, this question becomes more complex than a typical prostitution, DWI, or even bribery charge. This is because securities fraud cases involve somewhat foreign terminology and details of investment activity that are not necessarily in the scope of most people's daily lives. With a couple definitions and a look at the indictments, however, the case can become a bit clearer.
First, the term 'security' is a 'term of art' under the law and within businesses. In most cases, the term simply means either an ownership interest in a company, such as a stock, or loaner's interest in either a company or a public project, such as corporate or municipal bonds. There are also securities relating to the right to collect revenue from a mine or oil rig.
Second, the term misrepresentation means just what it sounds like. That is, when someone sells any type of security that person has a duty under the law to avoid misleading investors. This is because the law acknowledges the complexity of securities transactions as well as the lack of familiarity persons have in this arena.
Third, a broker is simply someone who arranges the sale of securities to customers.
Fourth, the terms customer and investor are virtually identical in this area of the law.
So how does this apply to the case against the Attorney General?
Texas Securities Law
Specifically, the Texas Securities Act requires brokers to ensure that their license to sell securities does not lapse. This is cited under section 29(i) of the Texas Securities Act. Further, the Act also requires brokers to avoid misleading investors. This is cited under 29(e) of the Act. This means that Texas treats the discussions, representations, promises, and written materials within the sale of a security as secularly sacrosanct. That is, such conversations should not include deception or ambiguity. Also, under TEX.REV.CIV.STAT. ANN. art. 581–29(C) it is illegal to (1) engage in any fraud or fraudulent practice; (2) employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud; or (3) knowingly make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
Federal Securities Law
Federally, deceptive conduct regarding securities is also prohibited. Under 18 USC 1341 and 1343, it is illegal to deceive persons using mail or wire systems. While mail and wire fraud are not exclusively used to prosecute deceptive securities transactions, they certainly could be. Also, the Securities Exchange Act under 15 U.S.C. § 78j(b) states:
It shall be unlawful for any person, directly or indirectly, by the use of any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce or of the mails, or of any facility of any national securities exchange…(b) To use or employ, in connection with the purchase or sale of any security registered on a national securities exchange or any security not so registered, any manipulative or deceptive device or contrivance in contravention of such rules and regulations as the [Securities and Exchange] Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors."
Kent Schaffer, one of the special prosecutors on the cases against Paxton, said Paxton is accused of encouraging others to invest more than $600,000 in a company called Servergy Inc. without telling them he was making a commission and misrepresenting himself as a fellow investor. The grand jury also charged him with failing to register with state securities regulators for soliciting clients for Mowery Capital Management in return for fees.
In a nutshell, the Attorney General is accused of telling investors he owned stock in a company called Servergy when he was soliciting sales for that company. Such a representation would presumably signal confidence on the part of the Attorney General. Prosecutors will argue that this representation led two separate investors to buy stock in the company. Obviously, the prosecutors will also argue that this representation was not true.
He is also accused of failing to tell investors that he stood to make a commission if they bought Servergy stock. Once again, prosecutors will argue that this omission misled investors by failing to inform them of the Attorney General's interest in the sale because people often distinguish sales conversations from objective advice.
If these allegations are proven to be true, they are crimes in Texas. How serious are they? In Texas and under federal law, the sentence and penalty range is dictated by the level of investment. That is, how much money was transacted as a result of the fraud. In Mr. Paxton's case, he is accused of soliciting two investments each of which were for more than $100,000. As that amount is the threshold for a first degree felony in Texas, he faces two counts of first degree Securities Fraud.
With respect to his failure to keep his license current, the Attorney General faces a third degree felony charge which carries a range of probation up to 10 years imprisonment.
All of these charges carry a fine of between $0-$10,000.
Obviously, the trial has not happened and Mr. Paxton is presumed not guilty under the law.
Nonetheless, a quick understanding of securities law can hopefully bring more clarity about the nature of the charges.

iceSheffield's Olympic-standard competition pad was replaced by dry, hard flooring for the International Street and Ball Hockey Federation (ISBHF) 2016 World Junior Championships.
Eighteen teams and 600 players and coaches took part in the tournament held over seven days at iceSheffield, which is operated by SIV.
Every year, SIV hosts more than 1,500 events contributing over £30m to the Sheffield economy.
Ball hockey, a team sport played all over the world, is a variation of ice hockey played on a non-ice surface with a ball rather than puck.
Founded in 1993, the International Street and Ball Hockey Federation has provided international competitions since 1995. The World Junior Championships were brought to Sheffield by governing body, Ball Hockey UK.
George Gortsos, President of the International Street Ball Hockey Federation, said: "iceSheffield and the staff of SIV served our 18 national teams and 600 coaches and players a world-class hockey event providing an amazing ball hockey platform and growth platform for our athletes.
"Our ISBHF family is still talking about the wonderful hockey facilities, and professional and keen staff of SIV who went out of their way to welcome our hockey world. For us is was the perfect venue, city and platform to host our 2016 ISBHF World Junior Ball Hockey Championships.
"SIV, iceSheffield, Ball Hockey UK and the city of Sheffield served our players a golden event that is one of the most memorable, and world-class events we have ever held."
Canada were crowned under 16 and 18 champions at iceSheffield while Slovakia won the under 20 event. Great Britain finished in sixth place at under 16, 18 and 20 level.
Dominic Stokes, Head of SIV Events – the events arm of SIV, said: "It is the first time the World Junior Championships have been staged in the UK so we were extremely proud that the ISBHF and Ball Hockey UK chose to bring this event to iceSheffield.
"The value in terms of venue hire, bed nights and additional spend in the city was significant for a single event bringing more than £750,000 to the local economy.
"The sport is played on a dry surface so, ahead of the event, our team removed all the ice from our competition pad and added markings to the concrete floor below, demonstrating the flexibility of the venue as an event space.
"It was a great seven days of competition and we look forward to hosting more ball hockey tournaments in the future as this sports gets ever more popular."

I remember how problematic it was to get the most beautiful and stylish wear for my twins as every store was offering exactly the opposite of what I was looking for. This is what has been making me look out for the perfect wear which could make my cuddlesome look more adorable. I knew that this was not an easy task and I needed to work on this with more passion attached to it. One day I went to my sister-in-laws place as I was invited to her son's birthday party. There I saw her kids wearing the most wonderful clothes which didn't let me stay behind from asking her that from where I should get these dresses for my babies. She suggested Mothercare promo codes which was a little shock for me as I have been to the store for buying pram for my kids. Get More coupons at supersavermama.
I was quite at loss as why I didn't pay attention to the store and its offering in spite of being there and even purchased few things from there…
The very same day when I came back home I looked out for the online store and found quite hefty offerings on the most wonderful pieces of clothes which were my need. I was able to find girl and boy's clothes with a class attached to them and they had high quality attached to them along with the reasonable pricing which could have made my kids look more awesome than they already were.
The selection of beautiful clothing I got was something I would have definitely vouch on and made new wardrobe for the babies as everything I found at the store was worth each penny I was about to pay for. The store gave me advantage of availing the best possible discounts which could make me have the savings on my hand to buy something good for myself as well.
Mothercare with the deepest concern for the babies and kids paved a way for me to the good quality clothing line which can make things a very fascinating one for my kids. The store is my partner from now one and will keep on making my kids look super awesome for rest of their lives.

Cloud ERP vs on-premise ERP: an objective comparison
Which method of accessing your ERP is best? The answer…it depends. Here are several key areas to consider when deciding between cloud and on-premise deployment for your software.
Cloud ERP systems are deployed on servers managed by your ERP provider. You rent space for your data and the provider keeps it safe and secure. Your data is on the same servers as another client's but they are kept separate.
With on-premise ERP, your data is kept on your servers. Your IT people keep them running and manage security and backups. Only your data is on that server.
There's also an in-between choice. You can own the software license but keep the ERP and your data on a third party server. Amazon and others will rent you disk space and they manage much of the security. This cloud deployment is therefore not on the provider's server.
Covering the key issues faced by businesses selecting and implementing ERP.
If you choose a cloud ERP, you will agree to regular payments, usually monthly. Often there is no upfront payment required. Your payments go on as long as you use the cloud ERP.
Guide: Five common cloud ERP mistakes
If you choose on-premises, you will purchase a license to use the ERP and pay a single upfront payment. You will also pay annual support fees that cover system upgrades, bug fixes, etc. Access to the provider's help desk is included too.
There is a break-even point where the higher initial cost of on-premise ERP becomes cheaper than an ongoing monthly subscription fee. Do the math yourself and make your choice. ERP providers that offer both types of deployment will always convert from cloud to on-premises and the license cost will be reduced. This could be a good choice for your business.
Customization and Integration
These options are available with cloud systems but can be limited in some cases. Talk to your provider and talk to partner businesses as well. The provider might want to provide the needed connections and limit outside links. Often there are third-party integrators available but they might not be easy to find.
For on-premise systems on the other hand, integration and customization are as available as the money you want to spend. Your data is under your control in your own server. The potential downside is that as the ERP provider improves their core system, some of your customizations might be incompatible unless you also rework the software you added.
Your cloud subscription fee will include easily available help desk support. Your ERP provider will keep your system at the most current revision at all times so you see immediate bug fixes and software improvements. You also will get a copy of your data for training or experimentation that is regularly refreshed.
If you choose on-premise ERP, and choose to maintain your annual support agreement, you will have access to the same improvements and bug fixes, but your IT staff will need to load those upgrades. You can, however, defer revision upgrades when you find nothing in that upgrade applies to your business or there could be a problem with some customization.
Both cloud and on-premise ERP are excellent choices in the right circumstances. Understand those choices and how they apply to your business and you will have the power of ERP helping you.

"No doubt that he is a slide guitar master. He is the business" – Roots Magazine
"Awesome" – Johnnie Walker, BBC Radio 2
"Quite simply a great live act" – Time Out London
Martin Harley is a supremely talented acoustic roots and blues guitarist, singer and songwriter with a burgeoning global reputation.
Live at Southern Ground, his eagerly anticipated new album, was recorded in Nashville in collaboration with Daniel Kimbro (Jerry Douglas, Larkin Poe) on upright bass.
As Martin explains "I wanted to make something representative of where I'm at musically at the moment with an album that reflects on the last year solo and duo touring. Daniel and I met in Knoxville through a mutual friend… he handed me his card which read… 'alright guitar player… good upright bass player' … an understatement on both parts!"
A mixture of retrospective solo and duo arrangements recorded during an afternoon at the esteemed Southern Ground studio in Nashville, Live at Southern Ground features Martin on Weissenborn… a traditional Hawaiian acoustic guitar played across the lap, resonators and archtops, and of course Daniel Kimbro on upright bass.
"It's a simple, honest and direct album with no overdubs in a warm sounding room with some great microphones and two new friends playing a few songs over a cold beer or two" says Martin. "There's a great feeling when you click with someone. It frees you up to experiment with the arrangement and the dynamic of a song."

text: After the big success and the cheering crowds of the very grateful BHW community I present you part 2 of subster's Conversion Rate Optimization course ( Please find 101 here ): subster's Conversion Optimization 102 Today we will take look deeper into the word "conversion". I decided to make the course a bit smaller and easier to snack for you. Our programm this evening: 1 - What means a "GOOD Conversion Rate" 2 - The tells us the conversion rate and what not? 3 - How to measure the CR correctly. 1 - What means a "GOOD Conversion Rate" For many marketers the CR is the holy grail of online marketing. This is stupid ( but to be honest, much more intelligent then the point of view that backlinks are ). There are case studies that compare conversions rates. A US online shop claims a CR by 40% within one of those example. Things like this and other ridiculous things can be found if you dig into the topic called "Conversion Rate". I worked with many. I worked with SEM agencies that showed reports with a 10% adwords conversion rate. I 've talked to ecommerce colleagues who used webalizer data to calculate their conversion rate and often, very often I saw business owners faking the numbers just for themselves. Yeah, for the warm and fluffy feeling inside the stomach. There is no general thing like a good conversion rate. Stop searching for it. Keep watchin it. Long term! If it grows while you do changes you are doing something right. There is nothing like a good conversion rate in general - it all depends: Buying very targeted traffic from Adwords as main traffic source? Will most likely result in a good CR. Have big organic traffic from Reddit, StumbleUpon, Instagram and other sites? Most likely trash traffic that lowers your CR. So you understand there is nothing like a general GOOD conversion rate. A high conversion rate is the goal. NOT. Sure you want it, but it is not the goal of all of our efforts when we start a Conversion Optimization. Let's see why... 2 - What tells us the conversion rate and what not? UVs * Conversion/100=Conversion Rate This is a formular, but nothing more. It is an analytical metric, which tries to make something "invisible" touchable, it is an indicator, something to throw eyeballs continiously on, but not permanent. This metric gives us a number to measure if the amount of actually converting visitors grows or decreases. Period. CR shows us just a relation between visitors and their behaviour. A conversion rate does not show you how satisfied your customers are and if they would purchase again from you, if you build a loyal customer base and last but not least it even does not say anything about your revenue - the most important vitality factor of every business. 3 - How to measure the CR correctly My guess is that 80% of all measurements are wrong. And the most of them aren't knowing it. Example Amazon: How dies Amazon Partnerprogramm calculate the conversion rate? Purchased products / Clicks * 100 = Amazon-Conversion-Rate This is stupid! Not the amount of purchase products, but unique visitors that have purchased in general are counting. If a visitor purchases 3 products means not that there are 3 conversions like amazon tells its affiliates. - Only UVs are counting in bound timeframe (1Day, 1 Week, 1 Month) - Only one conversion per UV counts! You can only persuade a visitor once. If the UV purchases a few times more, or like amazon has a few items in the shopping cart are this not all single conversions! This will mess up the validity of your data! We want to measure how often our websites are persuades FRESH visitors to buy something or do a defined action. This is what we want to do with conversion optimization. Counting every article or multiple purchases by the same UV says nothing about the performance of your property. - Measure multiple KPIs - conversions are not enough! For example the shopping cart value is a very important KPI Factor. RpV (Revenue per Visitor) has much more meaning about your overal success in terms of money - the goal we are behind actually. And in the next part we will take a look at the 55th Rule of Acquisition by the Ferengi Always sell at the highest possible profit

Also if you're a very parent and also have eyes in the rear of your mind, kids will often get lost and have minds of their very own. While it's difficult to picture this occurring, it's important for the household to really have a strategy in the event you must respond immediately to locate a lost kid, whether it's to, or a family excursion, field trip the kid's way home from college. When the kids start driving you can track their cars too.
One option comes in the shape of technology that is modern. Nowadays there are light-weight; place apparatus that are wearable developed especially for children. Security wearables today come in various layouts that are suitable, from a throw-away plastic group into a re-chargeable view which doubles as a mobile telephone.
With a lot of choices that are fantastic, it may be difficult to get the wearable security system that's ideal that meets your financial plan and for the fam's demands. Here are our top competitors, in no specific order:
1. AngelSense
This device that is wearable is the very first of its type. AngelSense was created after Doron Somer's a caretaker had mistreated an autistic child. It's the just wearable GPS monitor in the marketplace created for special-needs kids, now.
AngelSense includes several characteristics and is totally unique common GPS devices don't. For starters, you need to use the program notice what's occurring around them and to "listen for your kid's apparatus in". It's also possible to place margins and get alarms in case your kid moves outside of bounds, observe what your kid did through the duration of the evening (at 30-second periods), and magnetically connect this device to wear in case your child has sensory problems. For parents with special need children, this can be a system that is ground-breaking.

The final stage of button building is adding the actions. Actions are activities that are produced in the program in response to some event generated by the user, such as clicking a button or link, or by the program, such as displaying a page. Although you can add actions to individual buttons as you build them, there isn't much value to doing that in a project like this because you need to see the button names when configuring the actions—it's hard to select a name for a button that hasn't been built!
The only buttons that need actions attached are the six hotspot buttons. Acrobat contains a number of mouse actions that apply to buttons. Buttons can produce different actions based on where the pointer is in relation to the button or based on the mouse action itself. These mouse movements are called triggers.
As you'll see shortly, there are a number of mouse actions you can choose in the Button Properties dialog, listed in the Select Trigger pull-down menu on the Actions tab of the dialog (Figure 4.16). These triggers include
Mouse Up—when the mouse button has been depressed and released
Mouse Down—when the mouse button is depressed
Mouse Enter—when the pointer moves over the button
Mouse Exit—when the pointer moves away from the button area
There are other triggers used specifically for forms and media, such as the On Blur and On Focus triggers for form fields, and Page Visible/Invisible for media clips. Other document elements, such as pages, can also have triggers.
The most common button trigger is Mouse Up, and that is set as Acrobat's default trigger. The action is initiated when the user clicks a button with the mouse and then releases the button. Since Amanda's project uses images that appear and disappear in response to mouse actions, she'll use separate actions attached to two triggers—the Mouse Enter and Mouse Exit triggers. First you apply an action to the Mouse Enter trigger, and then you repeat the process for the Mouse Exit trigger. Each trigger is a separate type of interaction, so each needs its own action.
Follow these steps to add the actions to the first hotspot button, b_cruise:
To add the first action, click the Select Trigger pull-down arrow and choose Mouse Enter (the list is shown in Figure 4.16).
Click the Select Action pull-down arrow and choose Show/hide field (Figure 4.17).
Figure 4.17. You can choose from a wide range of actions to apply to a button.
Click the Add button—hidden beneath the pull-down list in Figure 4.17—and the Show/Hide a Field dialog shown in Figure 4.18 opens.
Figure 4.18. Select the field you want to show in response to the mouse action.
Click the i_cruise field in the list, and click the Show radio button. Click OK to close the dialog and return to the Action tab of the Button Properties dialog.
Click the Select Trigger pull-down arrow again, and choose Mouse Enter again.
Click Add to open the Show/Hide Field dialog and choose the t_cruise field.
Click the Show radio button—which means the field will become visible when the user mouses over the button—and then click OK to close the dialog and return to the Actions tab of the Button Properties dialog.
Each time you add an action, make sure to check the trigger shown on the Actions tab. It defaults to Mouse Up, so you have to repeat the selection of the trigger each time you add another action.
Choose the Mouse Exit trigger from the Select Trigger pull-down list, and click Add to open the Show/Hide Field dialog.
Click OK to close the Show/Hide Field dialog and return to the Actions tab of the Button Properties dialog.
Again, choose the Mouse Exit trigger from the Select Trigger pull-down list and click Add to open the Show/Hide Field dialog.
Select the t_cruise field, and leave the default Hide radio button selected.
Click OK to close the Show/Hide Field dialog and return to the Actions tab of the Button Properties dialog.
To check that the actions are all recorded, read the listing in the Actions section of the dialog. You see four actions—two Mouse Enter and two Mouse Exit actions (Figure 4.19).
Figure 4.19. Each hotspot button uses a set of four actions to show and hide its corresponding pop-up images.
Click Close to dismiss the Button Properties dialog.
Repeat the entire process with the remaining hotspot buttons in the project. When you have finished, click the Hand tool on the Basic toolbar to test the buttons. If you prefer, you can test each button as you add it. Move the pointer over a hot-spot button to show the image and its corresponding text; move the pointer away from a hotspot button and the images disappear (Figure 4.20).

Summer Vibes in 2017 Fashion Trends! What You should have in your Wardrobe?
Published: 21st June 2017
Runways shows & Celebrity Styles. We have the perfect Selection for your desire Trends right now. What you need is to have at least one of the fashion must have selection this Summer and just dive…Lets be creative!
Cupid is in the air. Mixing colors will be a refreshing change in Summer 2017 as opposed to monochrome like these past seasons. This theme was very popular in the Valentino Spring RTW collection. Most of the time however this color trend was broadcasted throughout runway shows this season.
A glance at the summer 2017 fashion month and it's just clear-cut that the designers fired on all cylinders to kick-start a wide scale pink revolution in the fashion circuit. Ranging from amaranth and brink pink to raspberry and ultra-pink, the runway had them all in droves. Yet it was Pink Yarrow along with Pale Dogwood that came out on top to be included in the Pantone's list of the spring/ summer 2017 color trends.
Standing so close to magenta, Pink Yarrow can be rightly dubbed as the most attention-grabbing and luxuriant shade among the summer 2017 color trends. It's so bold and rich, having all traits to produce an adrenaline rush.
2. Bold contrasting stripes
Although there have been some accusations about polka dots and floral being the prints of Spring/Summer, we can see that stripes are what to pay attention to. Some online sources suggest they will be more nautical, however, based on Missoni, Fendi, Proenza Schouler, Adam Selman and Chloe, I think they will be more of a bold statement. SS17 is all about color!
3. Metallic
We can't be the only one who has been seeing this influx of metallic shades everywhere. These shiny fabrics have been made into fun jackets, shoes and dresses.
It is more of a color trend, but we are adding it here as well because that metallic look and feel is very much in right now and even without sequins, it is simply something from the '80s that has been adopted for 2017. It is not just silver we see either, but a good amount of bronze as well, something Cynthia Rowley seems to excel in using for her collection.
it is Primrose Yellow that shapes up one of the spring/ summer 2017 color trends and for good reason. This invigorating and uplifting yellow is bound to warm the cockles of our heart, so sunny and joyful. We surely lay blame on that lovely flower primrose to light up the spring/ summer 2017 runways many a time and oft.
At Gucci, Alessandro Michelle presented Primrose Yellow from a more dramatic perspective on a ruffled dress with poetic sleeves, while Alexis Mabille used this shade on a couple of eveningwear and laid-back blouses, let alone those car-wash-pleated skirts creating black + yellow color blocks.
And if you just can't get enough of this vigorous shade, make a beeline for Chloé or else stop by Damir Doma to catch a frayed and tattered version of Primrose Yellow. If you are scared to wear this striking color, I suggest taking inspiration from the runway shows and incorporating an orange handbag, hat or belt to add this trending color to your wardrobe.
5. Off The Shoulder
At least once in every collection there appeared to be the one sleeve trend. This trend was an obvious reoccurring theme throughout ALL the collections. We did not imagine this coming but with the popularity of it shows that this will be a must have style this warm months.

Police investigating the Sunday night stabbing of a Macon teen are getting conflicting accounts of the incident.
At about 10 p.m. Sunday, officers from police Precinct 4 went to 2556 Robin Hood Court in response to a call about a person being cut. They found 19-year-old Jequavion Devonte Jordan, who had a non life-threatening stab wound in his left leg, according to a release from police spokeswoman Jami Gaudet.
Jordan told police he was walking when "an unknown number of black males dressed in all black jumped out of the bushes and cut him," the release said. Jordan was taken by ambulance to the Medical Center of Central Georgia.
Officers also were dispatched to Blair Court where they interviewed 18-year-old Devontie Williams and his brother, Shawn Williams. Devontie Williams told police that Jequavion Devonte Jordan, the man stabbed in the Robin Hood Road incident, had come to 4050 Blair Court with several "unknown black males" and challenged the brothers to fight, the release said.
Devontie Williams said that when the group dragged Shawn Williams to the street, he stabbed Jordan in the leg to protect his brother, the release said.
Police ask that anyone with information on the stabbing call 751-7500 or call Crimestoppers at 1-877-68-CRIME.

This year more than ever I have had a very difficult time with the weather. I am convinced that this is occurring because I am aging( the older you get, the more problems). California has better weather conditions in comparison to the other states, however it's still feels very extreme to me. It's come to the point that I avoid going outside by all means, which became boring real quick. I came to realize that, perhaps I am not wearing the proper fabric! Ding, Ding, Ding! I went out and bought thermals in many colors to help me cope with the cold. So far, these thermals have been a "game changer" and nothing compared to what I remember them as growing up. The new advancements in the technology used to create thermals have an insulation system that traps heat, which is why something so thin can keep you warmer than perhaps a fleece or wool.
As I was walking to my internship, I noticed a lot of eyes on me. It wasn't until later on in the day that I realized that I was wearing my extreme distressed denim on a very chilly day, some air to the knees can't be too bad for you, right? I honestly didn't even realize the cold coming from the holes because of how warm I was from the top. The cardigan I am wearing is baby doll pink & super soft. I have never been a big fan of the traditional cardigans, but I have no problem with an oversized and/or unique cardigan.
Rainboots are very convenient to wear in the rain, it eliminates wet socks ( ew!) and the soles of your shoe to ruin. Now let's talk about my belt... thank you Soraia and Ali for bringing me this very generous gift from New York. I get so excited when my sisters plan trips because they can have some R&R, plus I will get a great gift! I have wanted an Hermés belt for a while now because H is the first letter of my name, technically speaking. My name is Humaira in Farsi and Arabic, but my father decided to change the spelling to Omaira to avoid me getting teased in school. I am a little confused as to how to spell my name, so I switch it up. Sometimes I go by Omaira, Humaira or Mai. Hermés does make it appealing to go by Humaira.

Varicocele – is a disease that is characterized by varicose veins of the spermatic cord as a result of failure or absence of valves. The disease is not life-threatening, but can cause infertility in men. The disease is very common and frequently diagnosed in teens during preventive examinations. In the majority of cases it develops from the left side (due to anatomical features). To the right is extremely rare and more often a sign of other diseases (tumor of the right kidney, etc.).
In the case of failure or absence of valves and due to high blood pressure counter will fall out of the system left renal vein in the left testicular vein. This compensatory will be stagnation of blood in the veins of the spermatic cord. Circulatory disturbance in the testicle and raising its temperature (due to the accumulation of large amounts of blood) leads to inhibition of its function, and subsequently to its loss.
Causes of Varicocele
The main complaints in varicocele are an increase in the corresponding half of the scrotum, pain in the groin, in the scrotum, worse during physical exertion. In the initial stages of the disease, patients no complaints. With the progression of the disease increases the left half of the scrotum, the skin contoured veins of the spermatic cord, there are periodic aching pain, aggravated by physical effort.
Varicocele is not a difficult disease to diagnose. In most cases, diagnosis is based on clinical data.
In difficult cases to diagnose shown ultrasound to determine the scrotum varicose veins of the spermatic cord, retrograde blood flow and testicle size. The methods show how to use modern medicine today. Nowadays overlaps the internal spermatic vein and this leads to the restoration of retrograde flow. Very important is the preservation of the homonymous artery that supplies the testicle.
In order to determine the dysfunction of testicular sperm study shows.
Varicocele can develop at any age. And in any period, it requires treatment. Of course, first of all think about the operation that is the most radical and reliable way to fix the problem, it is necessary if the patient – is a child.
Treatment of Varicocele
However, and in adulthood is required to correct the impaired blood flow to relieve the patient from discomfort. Conservative treatment only makes sense, if diagnosed at an early stage. In this case, a special bandage is worn, warning further expansion vessels. In all other cases, a much easier and more reliable is to do the surgery.
Its essence lies in the ligation of varicose veins and off them from the bloodstream. As a result, the vessels are fallen down, and varicocele ceases to exist. The medical center offers operation – ligation using micro surgical techniques. It is performed with a minimum cut under special loops, and after 1-2 days the man is completely restored. This operation is suitable, including, for children. Pediatric surgery is no different from an adult, but it has a great influence on the essence. This will help quickly to recover and heal.
Today, it is the gold standard treatment of varicocele in Europe, which gives almost absolute guarantee of results:
- painless surgery;
- rapid recovery;
- daily check of a condition;
- postoperative care;
- check out in the near term;
- the period of resignation.
Varicocele – is not just a cosmetic problem. The expanded veins do not look too good, but the more serious the consequences of the disease without treatment.
Infertility in advanced forms is almost cannot be corrected and that is why it is so important to consult a surgeon in time for operations and treatment of sensitive male problem.
