In addition to creating a Google My Business profile, additional business citations or listings are a key factor in Local SEO. They are also a key factor in Google My Business profile's ranking. A business citation is a mention of a business' name, address, and phone number (NAP for short). It's important that your business' NAP is consistent because consistency satisfies part of Google's and other search engines' algorithm for showing your business at the top of its local results. Types of online citations are:
- Local Business Directory Listings (example)
- Business Review Pages (example)
- Social Media Business Pages (example)
- Online interviews (example)
- Press Mentions (examples)
There are 100's if not 1000's of local business directories and business review websites. Websites like Yelp act as both a business directory and a review website. There are plenty of social media websites (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc) that display a business' NAP, also. Online interviews and press mentions business citations happen organically or by reaching out.
Local Data Aggregators - Information Pushers
These companies are responsible for pushing information to Google, Yelp, Bing, Hotfrog, Manta, Superpages, Pinterest, YP, and a whole lot more. There are only a handful of local data aggregators:
- Factual
- Data Axle
- Neustar Localeze
- Foursquare
How We Setup Business Listings
We can manually build your business listings or we can put you on Yext's Local Listing Management Service or do a combination of both.
Manually Building Business Listings
We'll create an account in each local directory, review site, and data aggregator with an email address in your website's domain name (if possible).
Benefits of Manually Building Business Listings
- Own all of your business listings
- There is a one-time fee to set them up. There's no need to pay a monthly or yearly fee to keep them up once they are set up.
- We can add your business to many more directories than what Yext manages.
- We can add your business to all data aggregators.
Disadvantages of Manually Building Business Listings
- If your business information has changed, you will have to change this information one-by-one in each of these websites that your business has a listing in.
- Some websites don't immediately approve of newly created business listings, so there may be a wait time. If there is already a business listing, we'll need to verify it by an email to an address that you manage or a phone call to your business.
Building Listings With Yext
We've been a Yext Certified Partner for years. Yext's Local Listings Management Service is a recurring service. Yext manages over 70 known directories and review websites.
Benefits of using Yext:
- You only need to add your information in their dashboard and it will be pushed out to all of the sites that they manage in seconds! There is no need to set up an account in each of the directories or review sites which saves a ton of time. Quicker listings means less time to wait until your business has better local search engine rankings.
- Yext will look for duplicate listings of your business and give you the opportunity to suppress these listings.
- Yext manages 2 out 4 of the data aggregators. This means that in addition to the directories that Yext manages, your business will be listed in more than hundred more websites.
- Yext manages some niche directories.
Disadvantages of using Yext:
- You never own your business listings (unless you manually claimed them). If you decide to cancel Yext's service, they could disappear or revert back to the way they were before Yext managed them
- Your business' duplicate listings are never removed. If you decide to cancel Yext's service, these duplicate listings will return.

Biographical Note
According to their Web site, the Margaret Sanger Papers Project (MSPP) "is a historical editing project sponsored by the Division of Libraries at New York University. The Project was formed by Dr. Esther Katz in 1985 to locate, arrange, edit, research, and publish the papers of the noted birth control pioneer. Until 2014, the Project was sponsored by the Department of History. The Margaret Sanger Papers Project has published a two-series microfilm edition, the Margaret Sanger Papers Microfilm Edition Smith College Collections and the Collected Documents Series. Work on the Smith College Collections entailed the rearrangement and organization of over 50,000 Sanger documents in the Margaret Sanger collection and seventeen other collections at the Sophia Smith Collection and Smith College Archives. Work on the Collected Documents Series included a ten-year international search of over 1,500 archives and private collections, photocopying material and organizing over 9,000 documents for publication. Both series have been published with a printed reel guide that includes an item-level index by University Publications of America, a division of Lexis-Nexis. The Project completed a four-volume book edition of Sanger's Papers, published by the University of Illinois Press. The volumes are subtitled: The Woman Rebel, 1900-1928, Birth Control Comes of Age, 1928-1939, The Politics of Planned Parenthood, 1939-1966, and Round the World for Birth Control, 1920-1959.

Some sad news to report concerning one of the giants of NFL coaching.
Former offensive lineman turned legendary offensive line coach Howard Mudd has passed away due to injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident two weeks ago. Mudd was in intensive care at a Seattle hospital and unfortunately his condition took a fatal turn for the worse.
Mudd was a three-time Pro Bowl guard and a member of the 1960s All-Decade Team before a knee injury ended his playing career. As a coach, he's been nothing short of spectacular and universally respected. He's best known for his 11 years as an OL coach with the Indianapolis Colts, a team he won a Super Bowl with while Peyton Manning usually enjoyed outstanding pass protection and Edgerrin James had a borderline Hall of Fame career.
The Seattle Seahawks had Mudd on their coaching staff under Jack Patera from 1978-1982 and through the Tom Flores/Dennis Erickson era from 1993-1997. Mudd coached future HOFers Kevin Mawae and (for his rookie season) Walter Jones. Both Mawae and Jones shared their stories and condolences on social media.
My thoughts and prayers are with Howard Mudd's family. The man believed in my when he didn't have to. Always spoke so highly of me and I hope I made him proud. I couldn't share my thoughts in just a tweet, so here is some audio. RIP, Coach. pic.twitter.com/Q2qjoG79RB— WALTER JONES (@BigWalt71) August 12, 2020
This is from April 1994, the day the @Seahawks drafted me...It was @muddhoward who wanted me.....I had the privilege to play for one of the best OLine coaches in the game of football. My heart is heavy with his passing this morning.!  Loved him beyond the field. pic.twitter.com/zCiPnI4CNl— Kevin Mawae (@KevinMawae) August 12, 2020
Mudd retired from coaching in 2012 after working with the Philadelphia Eagles, then un-retired briefly in 2019 to be a senior offensive assistant in Indianapolis. Before the regular season started, he stepped down and returned to retirement.
Howard Mudd was 78 years old.

News Sentinel: Immigrants rights group asks Homeland Security to end Knox County's detention program
An immigrants rights group is asking the Department of Homeland Security to stop allowing the Knox County Sheriff's Office to detain immigrants, saying the former sheriff wasn't authorized to enter into the deal in the first place. Allies of Knoxville's Immigrant Neighbors, commonly known as AKIN, say former Sheriff Jimmy "J.J." Jones never got proper approval to participate in the federal program…. "We are hoping for a swift termination to a program that has for years targeted and terrorized communities of color in Knox County," said Meghan Conley, a University of Tennessee professor and member of AKIN.
The Daily Times: University of Tennessee Assistant Professor Amy Mundorff continues research into identifying remains after 9/11
Amy Mundorff was New York City's first full-time forensic anthropologist when she was sent to the site of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, to assess the situation after the second plane struck the South Tower. Within an hour she was buried underneath the debris when the tower fell, suffering compression fractures in her neck, a brain injury and a disease in her lungs from the ash and rubble that filled them as she fought to escape. "I was in so much pain," said Mundorff, now an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. "And I couldn't process what I saw. The sounds of the collapse. The chaos."
WVLT: University of Tennessee Professor remembered after 31 years of teaching
Dr. Bill Larson, who passed away on Tuesday, August 7, served as an educator at the University of Tennessee for 31 years. Dr. Larson, a renowned professor of English and Cinema, impacted students along his journey through education. "He never forgot a name, he never forgot a face," said Joe Edwin, a former student of Dr. Larson.

Public aquariums are supposed to protect animals and promote conservation. This sad news from the Taraporewala Aquarium in Mumbai, India is the antithesis of all that public aquariums stand for. Currently, over 270 fish and 38 turtles who were previous residents are now at the Versova fisheries center, without any handler or appropriate care.The animals were moved to the fisheries center in March 2012, when the Taraporewala Aquarium underwent renovation work. While the renovations were supposed to be completed in 2013, leaky tanks and other structural inadequacies delayed the project. It is still unclear when the renovations will be complete. In the meanwhile, these poor animals are being held without anyone to care for them. To date, more than 30 animals have died and the conditions reported, included fish being attacked by crows in open ponds, are grave. MORE

Unattended burn pile starts brush fire
Sun | Local
LITTLE BOSTON -- A small brush fire, apparently caused by an unattended burn pile, scorched light brush Monday afternoon about 30 feet from several homes, fire officials said.
North Kitsap Fire and Rescue crews went to a smoke investigation shortly after 4 p.m. near Boston Lane and discovered more than 1,200 square feet of light brush scorched.
Firefighters spent an hour and about 500 gallons of water and foam extinguishing the fire.
Unattended outdoor burning is the leading cause of brush fires, fire officials said, and authorities have warned West Sound residents to use caution when burning because conditions are ripe for a severe wild fire season.

Curacao Online Casino
You can easily bump into the best Curaçao e-gaming casinos with ease if you know your way around the internet well enough. The casinos with the Curaçao license have some of the most amazing collections of games and titles. Curaçao is already famous as an idyllic island in the Caribbean and has been a hot tourist attraction with its sandy, palm-lined beaches. These are only one side of the island. Its licensed casinos are a league of their own, and they offer the best games and bonuses at par with other licensing organizations. They, too, take their work seriously and take all the steps to find the best and trusted sites before giving them the license too. At Red Dog, you will come across these sites to bet on and take home jackpot rewards too.
What Is Curaçao eGaming?
Curaçao eGaming has been providing the Curaçao gambling license and IP Compliant services to casinos fulfilling all the eligibility criteria. The Curaçao license has been held with the highest regard and respect in the world for many reasons. The organization ensures the prestigious license to casinos that have been giving top quality products and services. The organization provides data centers to support across the world for the casinos to run with care and within the regulatory guidelines.
The best reason for the casinos to go for the eGaming services from Curaçao is the way it customizes the products. All the casinos have to work as per their jurisdiction. The license guarantees that the casinos are operating in all fairness and that the customers' personal information is safe.
Also, Curaçao's online casino license has a lot of regard from the operator as well as from the country of origin. The licensing authority has earned this position after being in the industry for long.
They offer a host of other customizable services, all of which comply with legal and geographic regulations, thereby making the casino reliable. This license and compliance play a major role in making a casino reliable, and thus, the player prefers this site over others.
A big reason for the casinos to opt for this license is that it is enough for the casinos to use this type of eGaming license for all the forms of eGaming. This means whether you are going for a sportsbetting or casino games based website, you just need this one type of license. It also includes the license for games of skill and chance. This is a hassle-free aspect that many casinos prefer going for as it solves their long-term goal.
Along with that, you can even avail of the special IP program for software providers too. One looks at various emerging names in the network operators in the business, and you will see the rise of these firms.
History of Gambling in Curaçao
Since 1996, Curaçao has been a reliable licensing organization and rewarding the casinos that comply with a set of regulations and standards. It all started when the online gaming sector was still taking baby steps. There was a time when the casinos working in the European Union began to mushroom but were not sure of their limitations. That was when a need for a reliable organization was a priority. Curaçao Licensing organization founders were the ones to observe the gaming world rising rapidly and posing more challenges along the way. Over time, there was a lot of money at stake, and it also forced some casinos to resort to illegal methods. One bad casino experience alone was enough to tarnish the impression of the game forever.
Also, casinos were operating from various countries illegally and even accessible to countries where gambling was not allowed. These prompted the authorities to come up with the Curaçao License. Today, after these 26 and more years, the respect for a Curaçao licensed casino online is massive. Why? To become a prestigious flagbearer of the license, casinos have to be financially transparent, honest, and fair in their dealings.
In 2001, the Curaçao Internet Gaming Association (CIGA) was set up. It was set up to ensure the country's Curaçao gambling operations meet all the licensing requirements. This CIGA takes care of the online gaming industry in Curaçao and provides all the members to agree and abide by the code of conduct regulations. The casino operators also prefer the organization for its low tax of just 2% on a net profit. This is something wonderful because it works in favor of the casinos that aim to gain a lot. Another highlight of casinos opting for this is the way this licensing authority audits without being too restrictive.
Online Gambling Laws and Regulations in Curaçao
Casinos may opt for the All-in-one package where they can avail of the consulting, online gambling license, and compliance supervision. Along with these primary services, the casinos may also get support in the formation of Curaçao and EU-based companies. The services, worldwide data center collocation, advanced DNS Hosting services, and access to payment processing and safer banking are worth mentioning. These are all part of the package you can expect as you sign up for the license.
All said, there are specific regulations and laws the license aims to cover in the long run for a Curaçao gambling site. You need to apply for the IP Compliance Services Guide, which will give you a clear idea of the guidelines for defining the eGaming Services.
The entire process of application takes 2 to 4 weeks. It depends on the time you revert after filling up the application form with the necessary documents for verification. The original documents should be sent by courier or in person. However, to speed up the process, mail the documents scanned copies via electronic medium. The IP application should get approval, and the compliance services should meet all the requirements. What you can get as you become a member of the Curaçao licensed casino is what we discuss now:
- A Curaçao Gaming sub-license
- Offshore corporation
- EU Contracting company
- Direct online Gaming Merchant accounts for payment like MasterCard and Visa to help you receive and make payouts from customers.
- Payment processing via Alternative payment method worldwide, including Bitcoin wallets
Here are the steps to follow by a Curaçao online casino to get the license.
- The casino needs to request for the Curaçao eGaming to get the license and compliance guide. Look through point 7 in the guide manual to know about the necessary documents and the eligibility criteria to see if your casino fits the bill.
- The applicant must submit all the necessary documents in hard and soft copies. The original copies must be sent with the documents via courier.
- While sending the documents, you will also need to make the payment of the fees for application processing. Make sure to have copies of the submission of documents and the payment with yourself for easier follow-up.
- The fees include a one-time fee and the eGaming IP License and compliance services. Whether you are looking for Curaçao online slots or Curaçao online roulette, the license and fees will be one. The turnkey package price includes all these costs, and you need not worry about spending anything extra.
- After you submit the proof of payment, the compliance team will begin the process.
- While submitting, the applicants will have to go through the elaborate checklist and see if they are going with the IP compliance.
- Upon approval, the applicants will get a list of things they need to do to get the casino's license. They would have to go for making the one-time payment of the fees and other deposits, too, while complying with the regulations. During this time, they will get domains and URL's and registered IP's. However, this application process is just one aspect worth notice. The other big challenge is the way you have to consistently comply with all the regulations as it is in the guide book. If there are discrepancies, the auditors from Curaçao would penalize the site or even suspend the services.
Curaçao Gambling License Requirements
All said and done, Curaçao casino has to ensure in following the rules before even applying for the same. To get the license, all the partners and stakeholders or business heads will need to submit their documents. The documents include:
- CV or Resume
- Certified copies of passport of the pages with the photo and signature
- Police clearance certificate assuring of no criminal record
- Original and certified copy of the latest Utility bill
- Proof of domain purchase
- Original Banker's reference
- Original reference letter from an accountant or lawyer
- Elaborate letter of the software agreements and 3rd party auditing firm attesting the use of RNG while also claiming the site's use of fairness.
- Terms and conditions with Responsible gambling page and gambler's KYC
- Finally, on getting the license, the sites have to display the official seal on their home page for the visitors to see.
The gambling site licensed by Curaçao e-Gaming has to assure all these steps to start the license processing. A license from this reputed organization is going to add your casino to a value-add. With hundreds of casinos already functioning under it, the reputation is only going higher with every season.
Players are now cautious of playing a poker game or even baccarat when they look for casinos online. They look for the best Curaçao online Baccarat site and know that they are in safe hands. This trust is built over some time. The casinos also consider this as an investment because the cost of getting the license is not that high and the overall maintenance of this license does not burn a hole.
If you get the All-in-one or Turnkey package, the rates are even more reasonable. Red Dog has a license from Curaçao and ranks as the best Curaçao online casino. Moreover, the regulator also insists on the casinos to perform strictly by being fair towards their customers at all times. Curaçao has its auditing happening to ensure the site is transparent and fair. They have positive vibes in them that urge the players from across the EU or even beyond to venture into it fearlessly and earn big money.
Is there an opportunity to be a Curaçao online Blackjack partner if the casino belongs to another country?
The Curaçao license is available for a vast number of jurisdictions, and hence, getting a license for a casino specially dedicated to the Blackjack or others is possible. The fact lies in the organization's ability to offer IP license and global compliance services with a dedicated team supporting them round the clock. It is, therefore, quite an achievable plan for Curaçao online poker or Blackjack.
What are the services the best Curaçao online casino can get?
For any firm offering licenses across different jurisdictions, stable worldwide infrastructure and support need to be top-class too. The Curaçao compliance services include private cloud servers, customized IT solutions, high capacity private racks, network hardware, and more. There is also a superior customer and technical support and full hardware maintenance and warranty replacement on play here.
What to expect from the Hosting and Collocation services of Curaçao eGaming?
There are dedicated servers and private cloud servers to look forward to while going for the license. It comes with private racks and single unit Rackspace. Besides these, the Curaçao online Baccarat casino can get the GEO IP services from across the world.

No biggie. He was only asked to play one of the most iconic characters in modern cinema. And sing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" with Beyoncé. And Quip lines with Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner's Pumbaa and Timon in the studio. It's just another day in the life of Donald Glover, I'd assume.
In an interview on the Blu-Ray extras for The Lion King hitting shelves and online stores on Tuesday, Donald Glover explained the exchange. He also shared his initial thoughts about the massive role:
As it turned out, he didn't record his duet with Beyoncé live in the same room. Due to their other responsibilities around the world, they collaborated together by sending recordings back and forth to one another. Glover has expressed some relief because of her goddess-like status, saying it was a tad less intimidating to throw pieces of paper in the trash at home rather than play with Michael Jordan on the court.
Donald Glover's portrayal as Simba certainly brought about interest in audiences to revisit the movie years later, along with the rest of the star-studded cast.

The cameras started recording and Alberto El Patron began cutting a promo right on cue as if he were still with the WWE.
"Let's make MMA great again!" he said, his arms crossed, wearing a President Trump-like wig. "That's what we're doing in Combate Americas. Titio Ortiz … you and I are going to be facing each other inside la jaula (the cage in Spanish) December the 7th."
Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year
We are doing MMA great again in @combateamericas and this week...it's fight week in #dallastexas go and witness why we have the best ratings, the best live events and why everybody talks about Combate Americas around the world 🌎 #sisisiseeyouthere . . Amigos es Semana de Combate Americas con #combatedallas y nosotros seguimos con la misión de hacer el deporte del #mma grande otra vez y al mismo tiempo seguir dándole al peleador latino el lugar que se merece en nuestro deporte. Los esperamos este viernes 1 de noviembre para que vivan una noche de Mucha Más Acción 👊🏻 . . #albertodelrio #albertoelpatron #doscarasjr
The promo was El Patron's way of plucking at both the 45th Commander-in-Chief and Ortiz in one shot … and for good reason.
The former WWE superstar and first Mexican WWE champ doesn't appreciate Trump's divisiveness, especially in accordance to the portrayal the president paints of Mexicans entering the U.S.
"I was born in Mexico, but I was made in America," El Patron told Sporting News. "I've had the privilege of becoming American this year on the day of my birthday, May 25. Of course, I'm proud of being Mexican, I'm proud of being brown, but I love this country. Just like me, there's millions and millions of people coming to this country to work hard and live the American dream.
"But the moment you start pointing fingers and saying this country is this, this country is that, these people are this, these people are that, you make people fight," he continued. "When you say Mexicans are this and that, you put the people, not just the country, but the people in a really bad place."
The fact that Ortiz, whose father is Mexican, is a proud and open Trump supporter makes El Patron cringe even more. He's aware of Ortiz appearing on Trump's former reality show "The Celebrity Apprentice," but can't believe that the former UFC champ agrees with the president's ideals.
"I don't understand why he's wearing that red hat saying Making America Great Again," El Patron said of Ortiz donning the MAGA hat. "America has never stopped being great.
Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year
"The last time we saw each other, he was wearing a Border Patrol hat," he added. "He said it was to pay respect to those heroes defending our borders. But why are you doing this when you're in front of a Mexican that was born in Mexico?"
Those political differences helped pave the way for El Patron to face Ortiz in a Combate Americas pay-per-view Saturday night in what has been billed "Tito vs. Alberto: Which side are you on?" The clash will take place at the Payne Arena in Hidalgo, Texas, right at the U.S.-Mexico border for good measure.
While Saturday is a jam-packed day for combat sports, with Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Anthony Joshua 2 happening in Saudi Arabia and the UFC in Washington D.C., Combate has been able to generate plenty of interest with this politically-driven card. Jorge Masvidal, the UFC's newly-crowned BMF champion, will reportedly be part of Combate's broadcast booth offering what's bound to be colorful commentary on Tito vs. Alberto.
While El Patron is part of Combate's front office, he couldn't pass up the opportunity to pull a Triple H-like move and fight on one of the cards he's helping to promote.
"We're committed to make this company grow even more," El Patron said.

If you haven't purchased a car recently, you may not be familiar with all of the various types of automotive keys that are available today. There are now transponder keys, key fobs, smart keys, VATS and more. These types of keys are designed with only one or two cutting methods, traditional mechanical cut and laser cut. The most widely used keys are the mechanical cut keys. A standard cutting machine, commonly used by locksmiths, is used to make mechanical automotive keys. Laser key cutting began at the end of the 20th century. There are security advantages offered by the laser cut key, which do not exist with your standard mechanical cut key. You will find that new cars are designed with the use of a laser cut key in mind. A lock cylinder makes it difficult for a laser cut key to be picked and the software used, make it hard for them to be duplicated.
One of the most commonly used types of keys, in addition to the standard key, is the transponder key. This key has a microchip in it, which helps motorists avoid key fraud. This type of key can be cut mechanically or with a laser. The cut of a transponder key is determined by the make and model of the car. A smart key is another popular option offered today. With this type of key, motorists are able to unlock and even start their car, from wherever they are. No physical key needs to be inserted in the door or ignition in order to work. The smart key has a microchip and sensor in it, which enables you to access your car.
Benefit of an Automotive Locksmith
Some people may insist on going to the dealership if they lose their key or need an additional key made. The biggest advantage of using an automotive locksmith is cost. Locksmiths will come to your location to replace your key. This minimizes the expense of having your car towed to a dealership. Also, going into a dealership often means waiting for someone to attend to you. When you rely on a locksmith, you do not have to wait, since you are the only person they are attending to at your location.

Pastor Maldonado: Lotus driver stays with team for 2016
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1
Lotus have extended Pastor Maldonado's contract, keeping the Venezuelan at the team for a third season.
The 30-year-old brings with him significant sponsorship funds from the Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA, which paid £30m a year for him to drive at Williams between 2011 and 2013.
Maldonado, who won the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix, is currently 14th in the drivers' championship with 12 points.
"It is positive to know that my future is confirmed," he said.
Maldonado has earned the nickname 'Crashtor' after being involved in a series of on-track incidents, including a coming together with McLaren's Jenson Button during Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix.
After the incident, in which Button's front wing was damaged, the 2009 world champion said: "I don't know what he was trying to do - maybe put me in the grandstands. He gave me no room. You can't do that in F1, especially around a circuit like this - but it's not the last time he'll do it."
French manufacturer Renault is currently in the process of trying to negotiate a takeover of the cash-strapped Lotus team.
Lotus F1 team principal Gerard Lopez said: "Everyone at Enstone will testify that Pastor is a terrific person to work with and we all know the performances he is capable of on track.
"We hope to be able to make further positive announcements regarding the team in the near future."
BBC chief F1 writer Andrew Benson on Maldonado:
"Jenson Button called him 'mental' during the Singapore Grand Prix - a view to which many in Formula 1 would subscribe - but Maldonado's millions in Venezuelan sponsorship have kept him in a grand prix car for at least one more year.
"'Crashtor'. 'Malfunctionado'. Take your pick from any number of disparaging nicknames Maldonado has earned through his antics during his five years in F1. There is even a satirical website dedicated to him.
"Why have Lotus signed him? The answer is almost certainly to do with money, rooted in the team's well-documented financial struggles this season.
"Quite what Renault - who will take over the team assuming a deal that has been in the offing for months can be finalised - make of it remains to be seen.
"Who will be Maldonado's team-mate? Renault/Lotus are short of options.
"Romain Grosjean is under contract to stay but seems to be heading for the exit to join the new US-based, Ferrari-linked Haas team.
"If that is confirmed, contenders include McLaren reserve driver Kevin Magnussen, ex-Toro Rosso driver Jean-Eric Vergne and possibly even Force India's Sergio Perez, despite his and his team's insistence he will stay."

Every homeowner knows that pest management is something to consider carefully and take seriously. Pests can quickly go from being a minor annoyance to a severe problem, but there's no need for your home to ever suffer from a major infestation. With proper care and attention, your home can remain pest-free all year long. An Integrated Pest Management approach could be what makes the difference.
Prevention and Correction
Prevention is definitely preferable. It's always recommended that you simply avoid having a pest problem in the first place if at all possible. Regularly scheduled inspections and treatments can keep your home safeguarded against ants, roaches, and other nuisances. With Integrated Pest Management (IPM), you don't have to rely solely upon chemical applications. Plants and structural adjustments can be incredibly beneficial for deterring pests.
That's where corrections come in handy. Improper drainage, pools of water, and other environmental factors can encourage certain insects or arachnids. Allowing pests to have favorable breeding areas or sources of food makes your home very inviting, which is something that should be avoided. Certain plants can even deter specific species. Correcting any such issues helps to keep invaders out of your home.
Healthy and Sustainable
Homeowners are more concerned about sustainability than ever before. Lessening reliance on chemical systems is a good step in that direction. Integrating vegetation and household features into your pest-management plan is a great way to ensure that you have multiple measures in place. This multi-pronged approach strengthens your household's defenses, and those safeguards continue working even without the constant attention of a pest-control specialist.
Many parents and pet lovers are concerned about pesticides. Exposure is always a point of concern, and that may be one of the most common questions that technicians receive from homeowners. Babies and toddlers are prone to crawling just about everywhere, and they're not shy about putting things in their mouths. Pets have similar proclivities. While any exposure should generally be minimal, it's understandable that parents and pet owners tend to worry.
Protection and Reduction
It probably seems odd to promote reducing reliance on pesticides from a pest-control company, but increasing spraying isn't always the most effective way to combat pests. In fact, pests tend to develop resistances over time, and bombarding ants, termites, and other invaders with insecticides can actually lessen the impact of those chemical treatments. Keeping chemical remediation to a minimum actually preserves its effectiveness. That means chemical applications can continue to be potent when needed, while not being something that's implemented in every situation.
As you probably already know, chemical treatments aren't always cheap. The pesticides themselves tend to be costly, and they need to be applied by people with the proper training, experience, and protective gear. Plants and mechanical systems tend to be more cost-effective. The result is that a multifaceted approach like IPM is generally a more cost-effective methodology. For termite pest control in Atlanta, GA, Integrated Pest Management is a smart, potent, and reliable approach.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) last week launched its new Facebook Home, a smartphone skin that overlays an Android operating system. The new feature will be pre-loaded on the new HTC First handset and is available for download on several other HTC and Samsung phones that run Android 4.1 or later versions.
Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), in some parts of the world, is very addicting – some users admit to checking the site several times to a dozen times a day, while in other parts of the world (like in South Africa, like we mentioned here) there are signs of "Facebook fatigue."
But Facebook has gained quite a reputation (well-founded) for being a haven for advertising thanks to its massive store of information about all of its 1 billion users. While Facebook may have a lot of information about us, can Facebook Home be used as another platform – this one more omnipotent – to gather even more information for the social network and its advertisers?
While it's not quite a Facebook phone, which was rumored for months, this certainly puts Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) front and center on an Android-based smartphone. Facebook Home places a feed on a smartphone's home screen, providing a slideshow of the most recent posts, photos and messages from friends. There is also upgraded notifications, and "chat bubbles" that pop up when a friend contacts you via Facebook Messenger.
Seems pretty slick, huh? While this seems like a great way for Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) to have its social network available even more readily to Android smartphone users, but can this also be an opportunity for Facebook to gather even more information about the smartphone user? After all, Facebook does track information for those who use Facebook, and Facebook Home (unless you manually change the settings) will be on all the time, so it will likely be able to track everything you do on your phone – and can allow the social network to grab even more information about users, their behaviors and preferences.
Thus, while Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) has an interesting concept that certainly can improve communications and social interactions among users, there certainly could be some privacy concerns. "(Home) will allow Facebook to track more of a user's behavior on devices and present more opportunities to serve up advertising, which is Facebook's main business model," said Jan Dawson, an analyst at Ovum, a tech consulting firm. "And that presents the biggest obstacle to success for this experiment: Facebook's objectives and users are once again in conflict. Users don't want more advertising or tracking, and Facebook wants to do more of both."
In response to this, Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) privacy officers Michael Richter and Erin Egan weighed in on four privacy issues that may be concerns for users of Facebook Home. We'll explore all four of these issues here, and how these privacy officers say that Facebook handles the issues.
Let's check out the list:

HRW: Unprecedented Government Crackdown in Azerbaijan
The Azerbaijani government's unrelenting crackdown is decimating the country's once vibrant community of independent nongovernmental organizations and media, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2016.
Courts have sentenced leading human rights defenders and other government critics to long prison terms in politically motivated, unfair trials. Dozens more face harassment and prosecution, and the authorities have denied entry to international human rights monitors and journalists. The crackdown escalated in 2015 and continued as Baku hosted the first European Games in June. Azerbaijan's international partners struggled to find a unified response to the crackdown.
"The government's crackdown in Azerbaijan is unprecedented in the country's post-Soviet history," said Giorgi Gogia, South Caucasus director at Human Rights Watch. "Although the government is opening the country for international sporting and other events, it's closing the country to human rights scrutiny."
In the 659-page World Report 2016, its 26th edition, Human Rights Watch reviews human rights practices in more than 90 countries. In his introductory essay, Executive Director Kenneth Roth writes that the spread of terrorist attacks beyond the Middle East and the huge flows of refugees spawned by repression and conflict led many governments to curtail rights in misguided efforts to protect their security. At the same time, authoritarian governments throughout the world, fearful of peaceful dissent that is often magnified by social media, embarked on the most intense crackdown on independent groups in recent times.
Among those handed prison sentences ranging from six to eight-and-a-half years are the human rights lawyer Intigam Aliyev, the veteran human rights defenders Leyla and Arif Yunus, the prominent investigative journalist Khadija Ismayilova, and the human rights campaigner Rasul Jafarov. Others imprisoned on politically motivated charges include the Azadlig columnist Seymur Haziyev, opposition party activists Siraj and Faraj Kerimlis, and Murad Adilov. Taleh Khasmammadov, a human rights activist, was sentenced to three years.
In December, an appeal court released the Yunuses on five years' probation because of their serious health ailments.
But Ilgar Mammadov, a political analyst, and Tofig Yagublu, a journalist, remained in prison, despite the European Court of Human Rights finding that their detentions are unlawful. Anar Mammadli, who headed an independent monitoring group, is serving a five-and-a-half-year sentence.
In addition to banning several international monitors and journalists from entering the country during 2015, the government forced the closure of the Organization for Security and Cooperation's (OSCE) Baku office. The OSCE for the first time refused to send an observation mission to Azerbaijan's parliamentary elections, citing the restrictions on the mission.
The European Union continues to negotiate a strategic partnership with Azerbaijan without preconditioning the talks on fundamental improvements in human rights or the release of jailed human rights defenders and journalists.
Several Council of Europe institutions spoke out strongly about the crackdown, but failed for the most part to impose any consequences. Finally, in December, the Council of Europe's secretary general, Thorbjørn Jagland, announced an inquiryinto Azerbaijan's implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights. He said it was triggered by European Court of Human Rights findings on "an arbitrary application of the law in Azerbaijan, notably in order to silence critical voices and limit freedom of speech."
"The absence of serious international response to Azerbaijan's draconian crackdown undermines European human rights standards," Gogia said. "International entities, in particular the EU and its members, should develop a consistent strategy to get the Azerbaijani government to carry out its human rights obligations."

Want to be a successful boss? You need to work as boss' eye sight. SHIH-JING Co-Working Space
During this COVID-19 outbreak period, many industries have been severely affected, and we are glad to see the partners in the office still working hard. Also, we deeply feel that the entrepreneurial boss really needs extraordinary courage and execution. Do you also want to have your own company? Let's get start as follows!
Being a boss seems easy?
While you are drown with tons of work every day, and you also complaint that the boss are only out of a mouth? It's so easy to be the boss!
Give yourself an inspiration to make a decision to be a boss in some day. hold on~~ Think clearly before you make a decision. Have you prepared the basic money, resources, business model strategy? If you start your own business, you have to think about where the money comes from 24 hours a day. It's like setting up a stall at a night market. You won't get paid if you don't go to work today. As in the case of the recent outbreak, all the losses and responsibilities must be for the boss. We believe that the boss is definitely the most stressed person in the whole company.
Characteristics of being a boss?
The boss may not be the most capable person, but he must have the biggest vision.
Finding talent and to lead them even the management personnel. Take advantage of the opportunity to see things from a different perspective when you're still an employee and learn with minimal risk.
First, cross-functional communication, generally speaking, because of the position, after the boss is actually a department. The employee's mind believes that because you were employee, you know best. Understand the problem points to solve each one. Then there is the marketing business and logistics management thinking. Many bosses have strong business or marketing attributes to do marketing, sells for products or themselves. But the management that often neglects logistics and buries hidden trouble, such as administrative process customer management data confidentiality, and so on, all kinds of trivia could become a stumbling block for development. So if you want to be a boss, you have to make your job your own with boss thought.
What risks of being a boss?
As mentioned above, In addition to their own accumulated a lot of practical management experience, the external environment is full of opportunities and risks.
An enterprise is likely to be carelessly ignored by the reality. For example, the recent COVID-19 which caught the public's attention, bosses have to worry nervously about the operation of their companies while employees are glad to be back at work. As a result, SHIH JING Co-Working Space had also been flexible in offering short-term rental services, hoping to reduce the burden on entrepreneurs. It is a risk of management, which requires marketing sensitivity and experienced capacity.
Think about it now. If the policy from manager is the same to us, think about their point of view. Practice in different positions. I believe that as long as I am prepared and adjusted to my physical and mental state, I can do a good job both as an employee and as a boss.

60,000 Chevy Volts To Be Produced For 2012? It's Looking Like It0
Sponsored Links
30,000…45,000…60,000…Despite the Chevrolet Volt not even having its official EPA mpg ratings out, let alone selling a single unit, General Motors is still making the bold prediction that the plug-in specimen will sell so much units that they once again changed their future plans of production, for the third time.
According to The Detroit News, Vehicle Line Executive (VLE) Doug Parks speculates that the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant has the ability to birth up to 60,000 Volt's by 2012. Though nothing is set in stone, Parks notes that the plans are still "flexible." Currently, GM plans on producing just "10,000 or 15,000" Volts for 2011.

In the Battle of France in 1940, the German main tanks, the PzKpfw Mk III and some early Mk. IV did not enjoy total supremacy. The French actually did have tanks that could defeat these German tanks in the shape of the Char B1 bis. The B1 was large for its time with thick armor and a heavy 75mm hull mounted howitzer that could demolish German armor at close combat. The tank battle at Stonne on the morning of May 16th 1940 saw the B1's destroying many German tanks in the village and shocked the German field command with the rate of destruction of the vaunted Panzers. It was an isolated incident of what might have been if the French had taken an integrated approach of combining infantry and artillery to support their tank thrust. Instead, these tanks were lost in small uncoordinated actions that did not affect the overall German advance. Most B1's in France were lost from mechanical breakdown and running out of ammunition or fuel.
Construction Notes
I picked up this 1/72 scale kit of the French Char B1 bis at the 2019 High Plains IPMS show. What attracted me to this model was its steampunk appeal with large rivets, big tracks, and the unusual early WW2 tank design that seemed like a carry-over from the WW1 British Mk.1 with a small turret added. The molding by Trumpeter is crisp and the fit was generally good. The detail level was pretty good but there are several key details that needed to be added to showcase this heavy tank.
The turret was molded without any openings for hatches. Since I wanted to show the tank with the commander sitting at the side hatch (the B1 did not have a top hatch on the commander's cupola). I started by marking the door that will be removed. Using cellophane tape, I make a trace of the door and transferred to plastic card. Then the replacement door was cut out and shaped to match the original. After that, the side of the turret is cut open carefully to create the opening for the hatch. To facilitate the painting of the turret, the replacement hatch is attached to the turret with Blu Tack.
The massive upper hull was molded as a single large shell and did not require any assembly. Here, I have trial fitting of the turret onto the upper hull.
Preparation for building the chassis starts with building the sprocket and follower wheels.
The chassis is then fitted with the molded road wheels. I like this arrangement where Trumpeter saves me a lot of time by molding these large number of wheels into single molded strips so instead of 128 parts, I only have to contend with two! These wheels are ultimately hidden behind the hull shields anyway.
The next section to be built is the swivel assembly for the 75mm howitzer.
The rear fender and end caps for the upper hull are installed.
The kit did not have the chain hooks that could be seen prominently at the rear of the B1's. I added these using .015″ silver solder wire.
I primed the all the separate hull parts (I have not joined the upper hull to chassis up to this point) with Tamiya XF69 NATO Black. I then installed the howitzer mounting, and painted that region with Tamiya XF-58 Olive Green since the access is limited once the hull is joined to the chassis.
The fit of the gun shield onto the hull was problematic. I had to file away some parts of the shield, and shave away some of the hull walls to make a snug fit.
The soft tracks are joined using Loctite 770 primer, and then with Super Glue. The tracks are painted with Tamiya X-10 Gun Metal, and then given a wash of "rust" using diluted Tamiya XF-68 NATO Brown.
The complex camouflage pattern separated by a hard black outline is done carefully with brushes. Three colors were used over the black primer, mainly Tamiya XF60 Dark Yellow, XF-68 NATO Brown, and XF-58 Olive Green.
After the area under the hull has been painted with camouflage, I added the large U-shaped exhaust pipe over the engine section.
The camouflage pattern is then re-instated onto the added sections.
Once the camouflage pattern is completed, I apply the decals after prepping the local panels with Micro Gloss, and then setting the devals with Micro Sol.
I did not chip the paintwork as part of the weathering as the French tanks were operating close to their bases and were relatively new when they were sent into battle. Instead, I just applied a thick oil wash of 50:50 Lamp Black/Burnt Umber.
The commander's hatch is then removed and positioned in the open position.
French 1/72 scale tank crew figures from the early period of WW2 are rare, and so I converted one with a suitable seated pose from the Soviet 1939-41 tank crew set from Red Box. The details weren't great, but the uniform was close enough for me to paint with French colors.
The figure is the installed at the commander's hatch.
I used about 6 inches of micro-chains dipped in Tamiya XF-68 NATO Brown for rust effect.
A final dusting of Tamiya XF49 Dark Earth on the lower sections of the tank and chassis completes the tank itself.
The display base starts with a ceramic coaster 4×4 square base. For the slope on one side of the base, I use 1/2″ square balsa wood to raise the elevation, and then shave it down to form a sloped contour. Plaster and railway talus of different grades form the soil, followed by trees, static grass and bushes to form the idyllic French tree-lined country road about to be rudely awakened by the German Blitzkrieg.

Last April, I started on a vintage basketball card project. The basic idea was that an old-school basketball set would be more interesting to me than whatever Topps and Upper Deck were (and are) churning out in the baseball and hockey realms. I decided to tackle the 1971-72 Topps basketball set, but only got as far as posting my first two cards before I lost focus.
Well, I did actually make some progress on this project at the Columbus Day card show I attended last year. This will probably end up being the last show I attend in quite some time, as I only made it up there every couple of years even before the word pandemic was added to our daily vocabulary.
Anyway, that day I found a seller with seven cards from the release in really great shape, and I took them all home for a combined price of $8. Let's see the new additions that I hauled in for just a hair over a dollar per...
So, that wraps up the haul from my last card show, and gets me up to 9 cards total in my lone vintage basketball quest. It'll be some time before I make much more headway here given the circumstances, but I'm patient and this was going to be a long-term project anyway.
Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back with something more in my standard wheelhouse for my next post!
1971-72 Topps Basketball Progress - 9 / 233 (3%)
Cardboard convincing - I was looking through cards recently when something drew my attention and I thought, "that's a post." Maybe it wasn't a great post, but it was something...

A Quick Look At Grant Green's Failed Audition
By Joseph Lopez
Jul 22, 2013; Houston, TX, USA; Oakland Athletics second basemanGrant Green

A few years ago I published a story about Grant Green and how he was going to be a face of the future for the Athletics. The former USC short stop did not immediately impress many fans during his short stint with Oakland this past week or so.
As Oakland's No.1 pick from the 2009 draft, Green represented, at least, initially, a sense of hope for the future at short. That hope has faded with each passing year and Green's defensive problems have definitely been partially responsible for his demise. Green is a solid hitter, but his defense has been shaky, at best, for much of his professional career.
He committed three errors over the course of five games and currently has nine errors to his credit with Triple-A Sacramento. The A's have moved him all over the diamond in hopes of finding a spot in the field where his defense becomes less problematic, but they are finding that Green's glove just isn't major league ready.
For the A's, Green's drop in value does not help. Jed Lowrie, who was brought to Oakland this past offseason, is playing exceptionally well for the team, but his defense at short has been tough to watch at times. Lowrie has committed 12 errors at short and two at second for 14 total errors on the year so far. Shaky defense does not bode well for a team looking to capture their second consecutive division title.
The A's handed Green a shot to prove something, albeit in a short period of time to do so. He wasn't able to prove much other than his defense has some glaring holes in it still. With the trade deadline approaching, the thought that the A's called Green up merely to showcase him to other teams does start to seem like a reasonable possibility. The A's have been linked to various trade rumors revolving around 2B Chase Utley and SP Jake Peavy in the past week or so.
In any deal including a guy like Utley, however, the A's would need to cough up more than a former top prospect in Green. Perhaps someone like a Michael Choice. It is difficult to imagine the A's giving up such a talented player like Choice, given the A's visible problems on offense, but stranger things have happened.
Oakland could very well give Green another chance at the big leagues this year and use him as a utility infielder. His initial audition to showcase his talents not only to the A's, but to the rest of the league, did not impress, however.

There are a variety of life insurance policies designed to meet different needs. These are some of the most popular.
Long term life insurance
Long-term life insurance pays a fixed amount of money, for a specific period of time, that you choose when purchasing. It can help cover debts like a mortgage. If you die within the chosen time period, the policy pays a lump sum to the beneficiaries. But if you die after this period, you won't pay for the policy.
Reduction of life insurance.
Reduced term life insurance is a type of term insurance policy aimed at people whose financial obligations decrease over time, for example, if you are paying a mortgage. Because payments decrease over time, this type of life insurance is generally cheaper than long-term insurance.
Whole life insurance
Whole life insurance, also called whole life insurance, is a policy that lasts as long as you always pay for it in the event of death (as long as you keep up with your monthly payments). This type of policy is often used to offset inheritance tax payments.
Joint life insurance
Shared life insurance is a life insurance policy that covers two people (usually a married couple), but is paid only once. Typically, this payment will be a lump sum to go to the survivor if the first person dies during the life of the policy. When the policy ends with the first death, the survivor will not have coverage for life and will have to find another policy if they still want coverage.
Over 50s life insurance
Life insurance plans for more than 50 years tend to offer smaller payments to cover things like funeral expenses. The amount you pay for your premium is guaranteed, so it won't go up or down. If you live for a long time, you may end up paying more than the policy pays.
Do i need life insurance?
Although it is not necessary for you to have life insurance, many people choose to purchase life insurance because it provides a form of financial insurance for their family in the event of death. Losing your income or family contribution can cause financial hardship for your family and dependents. Life insurance can provide a cash safety net to help your family pay bills and help ease the burden of worrying about money in tough times. If you have a mortgage, the mortgage provider may insist that you have life insurance so they know that the mortgage can be paid off if you die.
How much life insurance do I need?
The appropriate level of life insurance coverage for you depends on your personal circumstances. In general, the more coverage you get, the higher your premium. However, if you are underestimating the amount of money you will take out of a dependency, it can leave your loved ones at a disadvantage.
Think about the income your family or dependents will need to cover their living expenses without your contribution. Consider the amount to cover:
- Funeral
- Mortgage or rent
- Any outstanding debt
- Living and household expenses
- Child care costs and expenses, including your children's education.
Calculate how much money your dependents may need to continue their current lifestyle and cover their future expenses. Remember that you will not be in the equation, so there may be additional expenses. For example, if you are a parent who is not working or works part-time, additional costs may accrue because you are not present to care for children or an elderly parent. If your partner has a full-time job, you may need less work if you die to be there for your children or dependents.
how much does life insurance cost?
The average cost of life insurance varies, depending on the type of coverage you are looking for. There are several things that can affect the cost of your policy. These include:
- Age
- height and weight
- Medical history (along with your family history)
- Lifestyle (for example, drinking and smoking)
- The amount of coverage
- Duration of the policy
- Salary

Result: DMV License Suspension Set Aside
Documentation: images/dmv-wins/April_2021_set_aside.pdf
Client was detained for speeding and arrested for DUI after Officer Hawkins noticed objective symptoms of impairment. This was a case where the video, combined with cross examination of the arresting officer, revealed that Client was never properly admonished about the consequences of failing to complete a chemical breath or blood test. After Officer Hawkins informed Client that he was required to take a test, Client chose a breath test. At the police station Client failed to complete that test because he was not blowing hard enough into the machine. At this point, the Officer asked Client if he would take a blood test and Client responded that he was afraid of needles. Instead informing Client of the mandatory suspension period and other consequences of failing to complete a test, the Officer simply proceeded to book the Client as a "refusal" DUI. This was not a valid refusal. The law requires an officer to admonish (warn) the accused about the consequences of failing to complete a chemical test and then, after the accused is informed of the consequences of refusal, an opportunity must be given to the accused to complete the chemical test. Many officers seem to not understand that a DUI refusal (with its mandatory hard suspension period) only occurs if an accused fails or refuses to provide a test AFTER being properly informed about the consequences of a refusal. Since this Client's refusal DUI was set-aside, he did not have any hard suspension imposed on his driver's license.

Client was arrested for a first time DUI after a collision in which multiple cars were damaged. Officers claimed defendant was impaired and exhibited all the objective signs of impairment. At the station, Client blew a .14/.14 BAC. Due to the length of time of the collision investigation, Client's breath test was conducted more than 3 hours after the time of driving. DMV was therefore required to present a toxicologist to testify that Client was still above a .08 BAC at the time of driving. This is required because the law does not allow the DMV to presume a driver was driving a vehicle with a BAC of .08 percent or more unless there is a chemical test that was conducted within 3 hours of the time of driving that shows a result of .08 percent or more. The toxicologist who testified at the DMV hearing had to admit that she did not have enough evidence to conduct retrograde extrapolation because the Client's drinking pattern was deficient. The hearing officer had to set aside the suspension.

This was a first time DUI with an accident. This case was a lucky example of a technicality winning the day. The officer wrote both his name and his partner's name on the signature lines on the sworn portion of the report (DS367). DMV only subpoenaed one of the officers. As it turned out, that officer did not conduct the arrest and did not fill out the DS367. I objected to any continuance for the DMV to subpoena the other officer since they were on notice that two officers' names were written on every signature line. Hearing Officer was fair and set aside the suspension. Since client's DUI was reduced to a wet reckless in court she had no suspension and did not need to obtain a restricted license.

This was a refusal case where client was looking at a one-year hard suspension. She was in a bad accident where she injured herself. At the hospital, while being attended to by doctors, the arresting officer asked her to consent to a blood test. She was in a lot of pain and crying and said she rather not. She confirmed to the officer that she was refusing the test. Later, the same officer came back to her hospital bed and told her that she had to read the client a refusal admonishment. The officer read the DUI refusal admonition in full. The police officer stated that because she already refused a blood test earlier, that she was going to "get a refusal". The Officer was required by law to give the client an option to take the test AFTER knowing the consequences (after being read the refusal admonition). This was never done. The Hearing Officer set aside the refusal suspension.
Result: DMV License Suspension Set Aside
Documentation: images/dmv-wins/PDF 3.pdf
This was another accident case, but Client blew a .085/.083 BAC on the breath machine. Luckily, he had not incriminated himself by telling the officer how much he had drank and when he started and stopped drinking. We presented a toxicologist at the DMV hearing who testified that Client's BAC was going up (still absorbing alcohol) at the time of driving and therefore he would have been below a .08 BAC at the time of driving. Client also testified to his drinking pattern. The DMV hearing officer set aside the suspension, because we were able to rebut the presumption that Client was driving with a .08 or higher BAC.
For the past twelve years I have helped over a thousand clients get through one of the darkest times in their life. Being criminally accused affects a person's livelihood, reputation, family, and sometimes one's freedom. I appreciate the kind words many of my clients felt comfortable posting publicly online. Please visit my Yelp, Google and AVVO pages to see what my previous clients thought about my service.
She is a sweet caring woman who worked hard to help me. I could not have asked for a better outcome on my case. Ann knows her stuff and took the time to explain things to me. I am lucky I found her and forever thankful.
I will forever be grateful & thankful for all her hard work ,time & dedication... She saved me!!
Thank you so much Ann. Words are not enough to express my gratitude and appreciation…
She saved my license and my job. I highly recommend Ann to anyone looking for a good criminal defense lawyer!
She got my sentence reduced to a wet reckless I will forever be grateful! (2nd DUI with Child Endangerment)
I would recommend her services to anyone and she would be representing me again if I ever needed legal assistance.
Amazing criminal defense attorney who fought for me and really showed caring for my case and ME as a human being!
Her compassion for her clients really shines! Her knowledge of criminal law far surpasses that of most California attorneys.
Ann is very attentive and will go out of her way for her client.

Praying, wailing and collapsing to their knees, devastated Thais poured out their grief on Thursday as they struggled to process the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the only monarch most had ever known.
"What will the country be like without the Father? Father!" bellowed a distraught Patcharapol Piamsaad, one of hundreds of Thais who had held hopeful vigils for days outside his Bangkok hospital.
The revered Bhumibol, the world's longest-reigning monarch, died Thursday at the age of 88 — depriving the perennially divided nation of a towering, unifying father figure.
The king had been in increasingly poor ill health for years but his inevitable demise was too much for many to take.
Well-wishers had stood quietly below the Thai king's hospital room praying, as they had for days, when news of his passing suddenly rippled across the crowd, turning quiet prayers into agonised wailing.
Stunned Thais clasped their hands in redoubled prayer, with some throwing themselves to the ground.
Others stood to sing his personal royal anthem, wiping away tears.
Many in the surrounding area flocked to the riverside hospital, clutching portraits of Bhumibol and crying, while other parts of the capital appeared in an eerie calm.
Waiting for a miracle
After the news filtered in, crowds of Thais packed into the courtyard beneath his hospital window continued to chant "Long live the king!".
"I want the king to hear us in case he will come back to life," said Sukit Tanaboonsombat, 46, one of those leading the chants and never taking his eyes off the hospital windows.
Sukit said he raced over to the hospital after hearing the news of the king's death, which he refused to believe.
"I'm waiting for a miracle to bring the king back to life because he said he wanted to live until 120 years old."
Across the board, Thai television turned its programming over to glorifying the revered king, broadcasting images of him at his 1946 coronation, patrolling in military fatigues, and overseeing programmes aiding the poor.
His worsening health has raised concerns over the country's political future.
Most Thais have known no other monarch and though the king officially took no part in politics, he has been portrayed as a guiding light through decades of turmoil, coups and violent unrest.
"We are waiting for a miracle but it's likely impossible," said Panaree Thanawirachotikul.
"We're shouting to heaven and angels to tell the king that Thais will always have very strong loyalty toward him.
"The king passed away but he will always be in all the Thai people's hearts."
Out of respect, Bangkok's notorious red-light districts also quickly shut up on Thursday evening, with images posted on social media showing usually buzzing bars completely empty.

Paintball History: When Paintball Was Invented
Paintball is a popular game in the U.S., and across the world, but it hasn't always been a game. If you've been wondering how it started out – here's the evolution of paintball.
How was the Notion of Shooting Paintballs Conceived?
Paintball is a game that involves using paintball guns. It is a game equipment that tags everyone else with splats of paint on the game field and is the last player standing.
The idea of shooting balls of paint from a gun was first conceived by Charles Nelson. He is one of the founders of the Nelson Paint Company.
In the 1970s, the company was approached by the U.S. Forestry Service. It is to find an easier way to mark hard-to-reach trees destined for removal. The traditional squirt guns used by foresters had a limited range.
With the needs of the foresters in mind, Charles Nelson invented a tree-marking gun. It was in partnership with Daisy, an air gun maker. It is also useful for ranchers looking to mark stray cattle a significant distance away. The paintball gun was called the Nel-Spot 007 marker.
When was Paintball First Played as a Game?
The idea of playing paintball was initially contemplated by Charles Gaines and Hayes Noel. These two buddies thought it would be fun to invite other friends to play a game of "Capture the Flag". If you don't already know what this game entails, here's a better description.
Team members are required to seize the other team's flag while trying to avoid being hit by their opponents' bullets (paintballs).
The inaugural game of paintball
In 1981 when Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel, and ten other men, equipped with Nel-Spot 007 markers, shot harmless, oil-based paintballs at one another as they played a version of "Capture the Flag."
The game then quickly gained popularity.
As a result, Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel, and Bob Gurnsey (one of the twelve men who took part in the first ever competition) went on to obtain a license to use the paintball guns for leisure activities from Nelson Paint Company. Thereafter, they formed a company known as National Survival Game.
And, that's pretty much what's to know about the first paintball competition ever!
How Paintball Has Evolved as a Game
A lot has changed in paintball history since the first paintball competition was held by Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel, and company.
Here's a look at some noteworthy milestones:
1. Manufacture of Specialized Game Equipment
As the game's popularity increased, the need to use specialized equipment became more and more obvious. It became apparent that there was a need to move from the traditional, mass-produced paintball markers to sophisticated guns specially designed for the recreational sport.
Modern versions of paintball guns shoot more accurately, are easier to handle, and can fire at further range than ever before. This makes them ideal for use on larger battling fields.
Aside from this, several manufacturers have come out to make personal protective equipment specially designed for paintball. Hence, paintball team players use protective face masks, headgear, knee pads, and safety gloves that are designed for paintballing and paintballing only. This has improved the overall safety of the sport.
The sport's competitiveness has increased in intensity as equipment advanced.
2. Use of Washable Paintballs
Another notable change in paintball history is the invention of paint pellets used to hit competitors that are washable for easy removal from clothing.
Originally, paintballs were oil-based paint meant to create permanent marks on trees and cattle. You can see why a change was needed. The paintballs we use today comprises of highly visible, non-toxic, water-soluble paint, which is easy to wash off (woohoo!).
3. Increased Interest in the Sport
The first time paintball was played, it was merely a matter of twelve friends trying to test who had the best survival skills. Yet, later competitions shown that more people are getting interested in the sport.
The game is now getting the attention it deserves. The game has grown bigger than ever before. From indoor, outdoor field wars to collegiate competitions, and nationally-televised tourneys.
Modern Paintballing Has Come a Long Way
The next time you and your friends are looking for something to do – grab your gear and hit the paintball fields. The games you can play are only limited by your imagination!
