Hillsboro police say struggle led to officer firing gun
Nearly a week after a Hillsboro police officer fired a gun during an encounter that led to two people's arrests at a Hillsboro hotel, police provided details about the incident Friday night, Sept. 20.
For days after the altercation, the Hillsboro Police Department and the Washington County District Attorney's Office were tight-lipped about what happened Saturday, Sept. 14, at Extended Stay America, 10665 N.E. Eider Court in Hillsboro. Officials said an unnamed Hillsboro police officer fired their gun after contacting two suspects at the hotel during an investigation into "suspicious circumstances," and that one of the suspects suffered minor injuries that required him to be hospitalized.
Police declined to answer questions from the News-Times about whether the suspect had been shot or the circumstances that led to the encounter, citing an ongoing investigation.
On Friday, the Hillsboro Police Department finally provided a more detailed narrative, clarifying that the suspect, Elliot Satoru Carr, was not struck by the gunshot but was injured during a struggle with officers at the scene.
Five Hillsboro police officers — including Officer Jaime Williamson, whom the police department identified Friday as the officer who fired his gun — have been placed on administrative leave pending the results of an investigation by the Washington County District Attorney's Office. That is standard procedure when a law enforcement officer is involved in a shooting.
Williamson and other officers were called out to the hotel at 8:29 p.m.
After determining that Carr and the other suspect, Nicola Elizabeth Kostov, appeared to have stolen a vehicle and checked into the hotel under false names, police attempted to detain Carr after he came out of the hotel room at 9:12 p.m., according to officials.
Police said Carr and the officers engaged in a physical struggle, and Carr produced a handgun and pointed it at two of the officers. At that point, Williamson fired his own weapon, but the shot did not strike Carr, according to the police account.
Carr was ultimately subdued, suffering what police described as minor injuries in the process. He was hospitalized, released Monday, Sept. 16, and indicted on multiple charges.
Kostov allegedly provided police with a false identity, Peacelynn Butterfly Perilloux.
Hillsboro police believe the real Perilloux is a victim of identity fraud, and Perilloux is not a subject of their investigation, they said Friday night.
Both Carr and Kostov are facing multiple felony charges, including identity theft and unlawful use of a vehicle. Carr is also charged with unlawful use of a weapon, among other weapon-related offenses.

Atsakomybė maisto teisėje: tinkamo subjekto ir jo rūpestingumo pareigos nustatymo problema
Šamulevičiūtė, Asta
MetadataShow full item record
The institute of liability in food law has been introduced in order to protect consumers' rights and health, as well as to restore their confidence in the European Union's food control system after a number of food scandals, which took place throughout Europe. Interactions between food business operators are becoming increasingly complex and involving more inter-contractual obligations. As a result, food safety of a specific food product can be affected by more than one food business operator. Taking this into account, the article examines the issue as to which food business operator in such case is responsible for the safety and, therefore, is subject to liability. Pursuant to provisions of the European Union food law, regulating the division of responsibilities in the food chain, it is not entirely clear whether food business operators are equally responsible for non-compliance with food law requirements at all production, processing and distribution stages or their responsibility is rather dependent on the exercise of control over business at the respective stage. The author concludes that it would be unreasonable and indeed unfair to apply the rules of joint liability in all cases and accordingly to hold food business operators liable for the problems that may occur off their sphere of responsibility or off their control. The joint liability should not be applied in all cases because of the fact that different food business operators have to apply different standards of due diligence (the highest standards being applicable to producers and importers). The present article suggests that in each case, when the fault is a necessary prerequisite for liability, the content and scope of due diligence of each food business operator should be clarified. This would help to avoid cases of unfounded liability and to prevent unnecessary burden to business. National provisions of the Lithuanian food law also do not explicitly define the limits of responsibility of food business operators in the food chain. Determination of the subject of liability and the content and scope of its due diligence depends on the type of the applicable liability. The article also examines the peculiarities of legal regulation and application of administrative liability, when the fault is a necessary prerequisite for liability. Therefore, the fact whether a food business operator has fulfilled his due diligence must be assessed case by case. Meanwhile, provisions regulating special tort, i.e. liability for damage caused by defective products or services, foresee strict liability. Furthermore, in the case of contractual liability, the final food business operator as a businessman is subject to liability without fault. Hence, the paper, from the perspective of consumer, discusses the interaction between provisions, regulating contractual liability, and provisions, regulating special tort.

Need a Fun Fall Off-Roading Vehicle? The 2016 Jeep Renegade is your Choice
Looking for a fun and festive off-road vehicle for fall? Well then, the 2016 Jeep Renegade in Keene, NH is the vehicle for you! Why? Multiple reasons! Apart from the starting MSRP, which is extremely affordable, the Renegade also features the fun design (on the inside and out) that you're looking for. Part of that whimsical flair includes bright and shiny exterior colors, and vibrant color schemes for the interior. It also has best-in-class 4×4 capability for a small SUV, and is home to the Uconnect 6.0 NAV screen – a touchscreen that has plenty of fun and useful features for your off-road adventures, including the ability to connect to a premium sound system.
With a hard top and an optional dual-panel sunroof available, the Renegade is the perfect modern choice for the chilly fall days that are ahead. Because before you know it, it's going to be a little too cold to have the top of a vehicle down when maneuvering through the woodland trails.
A Fun Design – Inside and Out
The fun design isn't just limited to its color choices, but also in the engineering choices that were made. It's a smaller vehicle, which automatically makes it fun and hip according to the unspoken law of 2016. It also takes a different approach than any other Jeep we've ever seen before when it comes to the shape of the vehicle. It's still boxy, but instead of having rigid edges, they are softer since they're rounded. The result is a vehicle that initially looks rugged, thanks to the Jeep badging, but on closer inspection it's clear this vehicle is meant to be more fun than serious. The unique X-shaped tail lights also help portray it's fun nature when viewed from the back, along with entertaining exterior colors like Solar Yellow, Colorado Red, Omaha Orange, Jetset Blue, and five others.
On the inside, the fun is expressed by the shape, textures, and materials used in the cabin. More importantly, the various color schemes help portray the nature of this vehicle. You can get some pretty unique color combinations, like Bark Brown/Ski Gray with Tangerine Orange accents, Black with Light Frost accent stitching, Black/Sandstorm with cattle tan accent stitching, or even Black with Ruby Red accents. As far upholstery goes, it can either be had in cloth, premium cloth, or leather trim. All of which are comfortable enough for off-road travel, and durable enough to handle any dirt or mud that might get in the cabin.
Best-in-Class Off-Road Performance
But, the comfort of the vehicle means nothing unless it's able to adequately perform off-road. Which is why Jeep made sure the Renegade Trailhawk trim landed the best-in-class 4×4 capability in this particular segment.
The Trail Rated badge branding the Renegade is more than just empty bragging. Jeep takes each and every one of their vehicles out onto the Rubicon trail to put them to the ultimate test. For those who don't know, the Rubicon trail is regarded as one of the most difficult — if not the most difficult — trails in the nation. It has every type of off-road challenge imaginable, such as rocks, mud, steep grades, dirt, and even sand. If a vehicle does make it effectively through the trail without breaking or damaging anything, then it gets its badge.
Apart from having the legendary engineering that gives all Jeep models such exceptional off-road performance, what else allows the Renegade Trailhawk to land best-in-class 4×4 capability?
Unique to the Trailhawk trim, Jeep Active Drive Low 4×4 System comes standard. This system provides the Jeep with a rear axle disconnect system that seamlessly switches between two and four-wheel drive to increase efficiency when 4×4 capability isn't needed. A 20:1 crawl ratio provides more control when off-roading at lower speeds.
The Selec-Terrain System is also on board all Renegade models, and provides a modern and easy way to fine-tune the traction settings based on the road condition. Every Renegade model comes with Auto, Snow, Sand, and Mud settings, while the Rock setting is exclusive to the Trailhawk trim for more serious off-roading situations.
Obviously, a proper engine and transmission are both needed in order to provide capable and reliable off-road performance. Therefore, Jeep outfitted the Renegade Trailhawk with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. It's paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission, which allows plenty of gears for the torque to smoothly transition between. The fuel economy is decent enough for a 4×4 vehicle, which is 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. So even if you need it as a daily drive along with an off-roader, then you won't suffer at the pump.
Uconnect 6.5 NAV
Unlike Jeeps from a decade ago, the 2016 Renegade is loaded with plenty of technology features to keep you entertained, safe, and help you out. The Uconnect 6.5 NAV is the center of attention inside the cabin, mainly because it's a 6.5-inch touchscreen that has good user-intuitiveness. It's loaded with plenty of features, including the basics, such as: AM/FM radio, Aux/USB media hub for iPod or mobile device integration, along with an integrated center stack that has audio controls. If you aren't satisfied with an iPod or basic radio, then SiriusXM Satellite Radio with over 160 channels will help curb your musical appetite. A sensor-assisted GPS is tagged on (GPS navigation) to help you find your way out of the woods if you get turned around on a trail, or can't find the location of that next business meeting you need to go to.
While there are two lesser-variants of the Uconnect system, the 6.5 NAV is certainly worth the extra money, thanks to all of its extra features.
A hip design, comfortable interior, powerful 4×4 capability, and a Uconnect system that does everything and anything. Sounds like an ideal off-road vehicle for the impending fall weather.

Chris Kiersch on Best Practices for Choosing and Implementing a Marketing Automation Solution
An Act-On Conversation
Chris Kiersch is the CEO of myBusinessIntegrated. Chris is a serial entrepreneur and Internet marketing specialist with over 23 years of technology, marketing, and sales experience. He has started, sold, and partnered with digital agencies aimed at integrating sales and marketing platforms for a variety of businesses. Chris and Leo Merle, Act-On's Program Manager, had a conversation about Chris' success with marketing automation. This transcript has been edited for brevity.
Listen to the podcast:
LEO: Chris, I'd like to get started with a question I think is at the top of everyone's list. Tell me why you decided to implement marketing automation, and what specific issues needed to be addressed.
CHRIS: In 2008, I started myBusinessIntegrated as an integrated communications company. Over the next couple years, we actually tried integrating several… I'll call them "lower cost" solutions for creating custom email platforms, forms, CRMs. And for us, it was very difficult to get support for each individual product. We'd do something in one platform and it would break in another.
Back in around 2011, I had a client from a jet charter company. It was a really complicated implementation, and I knew that we couldn't be successful trying to cobble together those solutions. I spent some time assessing the different options out there; it was still relatively early in the market. I felt that Act-On would be the most flexible, affordable, and scalable solution. And what was the real deciding factor for us was the support component. I think if you have the right support – and what I mean by that is that when you call, somebody picks up the phone when you need them – that's really a differentiator, especially when it comes to integrating some of these complicated and powerful platforms.
LEO: I agree. Customer support is really the "day-to-day" connection you have and that perspective can really be overlooked when considering a solution. That's definitely one of the important items, but what were some of the other criteria you used to evaluation systems?
Marketing automation before sales automation
CHRIS: Well, there's the fact that it needed to be able to function on its own. Certainly integration with salesforce.com was critical for us. But in many cases we felt that we first needed to implement the marketing automation platform and then move into the CRM integration. So the solution had to be able to stand on its own as well as providing immediate access to support. You know, I actually called all the potential players we were looking at and acted as though I was a customer in order to see what the response time was like, what their attitude was like.
For me, being humble is probably the most important characteristic in a person. There's nothing better than working around smart people who are humble, and there's nothing worse than working around smart people who are arrogant. So that access to support, and the attitude behind it, was important. Affordability was important, too. I didn't feel we needed to have the most expensive solution, and I knew we didn't need the least expensive, but we wanted something that would allow me to get in and grow – that was scalable. And the company needed to be profitable, or at least showing trends towards profitability.
LEO: Completely agree. CRM integration is really important as well as scalability. Knowing what issues need to be solved today is one thing, but having a solution in place that grows with you should be just as important. Shifting gears a little bit, what were your most critical or most stubborn marketing challenges prior to implementing?
CHRIS: Making sure the customers understood their data. There was a lot of data cleansing that had to be done. In many cases, people just don't look at their data. They don't know how messed up it is, and we really underestimated the amount of time that's involved in dealing with that. We had to take it on the chin and go in there and do it ourselves. The thing about data, especially disparate data, is you have to keep tabs on it.
Some people only react when something is wrong, so for us, our job was to help people understand the data and what to do about it. Like what's the value of that asset, or how can we put a value to a new contact form being submitted, or a new email sign-up, and really thinking about an ROI model that we could build a dashboard to. That way we could validate how they spent every dollar, and make sure they got fifteen dollars back for it. In many cases, people don't understand how to pull that together. And I thought we did, but you know when you're pulling a bunch of different tools together, it's time-consuming, and sometimes it can be hard to validate. So, I'd say the biggest challenge was clearly communicating that and then failing forward and learning as we went forward.
Failing forward
LEO: Failing forward…I really like that term, especially in the context of working with your customers to help them uncover and understand their data. It's noble to see someone "take it on the chin" as you mentioned, and really do it yourself. After implementing, did marketing automation address those challenges?
CHRIS: I think marketing automation provided us with some containers where we could manage the challenges. Initially, it's a little bit overwhelming because these tools have a lot of features, and anybody who has worked with this level of software knows they probably only used 10% or 15% of what the solution actually does. But with marketing automation, we made these big maps of what we were going to do. We got together and narrowed it down to some simple stuff and decided to become very efficient with a couple of these modules and get a campaign out. Because I've had a number of implementations where we'd have the platform in place for a couple of months and the campaign still hasn't gone out.
LEO: Well, I'm glad to hear that the implementation met your expectation. And I like the approach you take of huddling up to get everyone in-sync, identifying what is good and what might be in the way. Which is really a nice segue to my next question about adoption and what has changed at myBusinessintegrated.
CHRIS: We have implemented processes in our own organization that are implemented for companies who are big and small. And 80% of what we do is pretty much the same for everyone, even though everyone thinks their situation is different. Sure, 20% of it is a different kind of message or a different kind of list, but really, the processes of engagement and nurturing are pretty similar. So in our case, we use Salesforce as our CRM, we have all of our opportunities in there now and we implement workflows and scale these implementations.
So for example, we take an automated program that we did for one client's customers – it sent out a birthday notification. Now I have something that I can reuse and tweak a little bit and it allows us to go faster. I've heard people say, "You've got to walk before you run." Well actually, in real life it's easier to run first. You just need to know when to take a breath. And now it's just about looking at how we can take what we've learned and scale it. We have a huddle every day at 7:30 a.m. and we meet for 15 minutes to talk about where we are, what happened today, personally and professionally, what do you have in your way, and how you're doing on your number one thing. Each quarter, everyone has a number one thing that they have to focus on. And weekly, we get together for two and a half hours and we go over our projects and make sure that we're all in sync. I think that check-up is critical, because this stuff changes so quickly, it's easy to get distracted, there are lots of shiny objects in the marketing automation world.
LEO: Such a great point you raised about creating processes and then being able to apply them to other companies both large and small. As you mentioned, it seems true that 80% of what we do is pretty much that same for everyone. So, you don't have to rebuild for everyone, you can just focus on that unique 20% to get your work done. Can you attribute ROI to the system? If so, what results have you experienced?
Continual learning
CHRIS: We've probably doubled the number of marketing automation clients that we've brought on board, our sales cycles have been reduced down to two to four weeks now. Most of our business comes from referrals, and I believe that's because we decided to be the best at integrated communications, which involves marketing automation and search and many other things, but specifically we're known as the marketing automation team. I don't think we have any big secrets – it's all about continually learning and being willing to share successes. And certainly, our success depends on expensive experiences. I won't call them failures… just call them expensive experiences, because I think that's what gets people talking about you. All we are really doing is trying to help people buy things and hopefully being a good steward of their business, because they are trusting us with some massive change.
LEO: Chris, great perspective on sales and that whole concept of helping people buy things rather than selling them things. And your sales cycle time cut in half is awesome. You've covered some great content and I'd like for you to provide any advice to other marketing professionals evaluating marketing automation.
CHRIS: When you're evaluating automation platforms – or really any software solution – you're trying to harmonize. It's cacophony of things you try to put together, and you're trying to create a symphony of solutions. So the best thing to do is to call their support staff, and call in as different people as possible to see who is going to be there when you need them. Find somebody that's willing to chart hell with a water pistol for you, or with you, because you are going to be there and you're going to be making commitments and you are going to be fighting for the company, trying to get them to invest in your vision. And of course, you'd better make sure that you love what you do, that you're having fun, and that you have people that can count on when you need them.
LEO: Thank you Chris, for joining us in today's Act-On conversation.

JAPAN - THE AWAKENING Business Promotion Symposium - 7th November 2013
Oct 10, 2013
Capitalising on New Opportunities in the Japanese Market.
The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Cabinet Office, Government of Japan and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) will host the Japan Business Promotion Symposium on November 7th, 2013, showcasing the opportunities and potential now available in doing business with Japan.
Marriott Sydney Harbour Hotel, Henry Lawson Room - from 2:30pm.
Japan has recently received a good news story in the form of the successful 2020 Tokyo Olympics bid. This has energised Japan, which has finally awoken from twenty years after the economic bubble burst in the early 1990s. The Japanese government has firmed up its platform and policies since the Abe administration took office last December. Through greater deregulation and reform, more attractive prospects for foreign business within the country are emerging. The Japanese government has already begun taking action by laying the framework for this economic revitalisation.
If you are interested in developing business ideas for the Japanese market, or capitalising on new opportunities with the new policies behind Abenomics, this event will provie you with valuable presentations, discussions and networking opportunities.
Please join us as we explore the new business opportunities that are arising from this economic turning point and what it means for Australian companies.

Canton First Friday: Arts, Food, Music & More
When we first moved to Canton 14 years ago, I recall driving around with my hubs on a warm mid-August night to explore the new terrain, only to find downtown Canton…..completely dead. Had we missed an evacuation order? Of course, we quickly discovered that, yes, everyone had 'evacuated'……to eat and shop in the Belden Village/Strip area (aka retail heaven). I'll admit it – during those first years in Canton, we didn't venture downtown much at all.
What happened in Canton's "urban core" since that summer night, however, borders on the miraculous. Drive (or bike – we have bike lanes now!) downtown and you'll find live music venues, restaurants serving everything from Pan-Asian to Tapas (coming soon!), hipster dive bars, a top-notch deli (where I eat weekly), a martini bar (where I drink weekly…kidding), three coffee shops, all sorts of small businesses, and last but not least, an ever-growing arts community.
Speaking of the arts (and this is point of my post) I can't talk about our city's downtown revitalization without mentioning Canton First Friday, a monthly party on (you guessed it – the first Friday of each month) from 6-10 PM in the Canton Arts District, with a First Stop at Canton Museum of Art at 5:30 PM. It's a hodge-podge of street party, art walk, music fest, food fest, and more. Each month there's a unique and fun theme, from 'Icy Resolutions' (works of art carved in ice) in January to 'Chalk the Walk' (sidewalk chalk art using pastels) in July – all created by local artists.
The great thing about Canton First Friday is that it works for all ages and types of party goers. Want an outing with the fam? There's plenty of crafts, live music, street performers, public art exhibits, and family-friendly restaurants to enjoy. (Our family go-to is Napoli's on Market. PIZZAAAA!!!!) My kids loved getting to "chalk the walk" last year with their own creations (free chalk provided) and devour ice cream from Almost Heaven. Want a date night? We've done that one, too – strolling through some of our favorite galleries on 4th St., eating dinner at one of our downtown favorites like Basil, and enjoying drinks afterwards at George's. Want a party night? Plenty of people come solely for the music and bar-hopping and stay well after FF officially ends at 10 PM. Buzzbin, Picciano's, Imperial Room and Conestoga are good stops for that.
If you just want to come down for dinner and forgo the art scene, you'll find all the restaurants buzzing and usually some FF specials. If you're only interested in the arts, you'll find busy streets filled with friends, couples, and families exploring various local galleries. And really, that's the part of Canton First Friday I love most – businesses and streets full of people seeing what Canton has become and is still becoming.
A few fun FF bonuses:
- The Palace Theater offers a FREE family-friendly movie just about every month on FF
- Thirteenth Floor Gallery opens their Speakeasy every month on FF (good & strong artisan cocktails in a very cool space). Also, that pic of Lisa and I in the sidebar? That's at the Oct. 2013 FF at the Speakeasy.
- Elemental Arts and Colette Wasdahl Fashion Studio (just outside the 'official' arts district on Walnut) open their doors for business (you don't want to miss this furniture + fashion stop!)
- Wander the streets of the arts district and you might find freebies — like fire pits and all the ingredients for s'mores at the January FF.
Where is the Canton Arts District?
Officially speaking, it's between Cleveland Ave. and Market Avenue, and 6th St. NE and Tuscarawas St.
Where can I park?
Free metered parking after 5, plus a couple of paid garages in the area, and free parking at the Stark County Library.
Is it EVERY First Friday?
Yep, year-round – rain, snow, sleet, or shine! And in Ohio, you're sure to get all four, maybe in the same night.
Where can I get more info?

Help Savage Brands Get To SXSW
Vote for Jackie Dryden's presentation submission for SXSW 2020!
Savage Chief Purpose Architect to Speak at IABC Conference
Jackie Dryden on The River of Ideas: A Plunge Into Inspiration
How Consensus Kills Innovation
You know the feeling: You've just left a meeting in which everyone has discussed a pressing issue, considered the pros and cons, and arrived at a plan for moving forward that everyone can agree with.
When to Ask: Why Not?
As a company, Savage has been reading thought-provoking books and discussing them together, talking about how their insight might apply to our work. We recently finished Start with Why by Simon Sinek, which encourages people to take a step back to understand why we do what we do.
Great design is not just beautiful – it's purposeful
Design is everywhere – and in more places than you probably realize. You recognize it in billboards and book covers, but it's also in the architecture and décor of your favorite coffee spot, along with the napkins, coffee packaging, in-store signage and even what the barista is wearing.
Seeing Savage's future: A vivid vision for the new year
What does your company's vision look like? Can you picture it? Can you hear and taste it?
Ask the Expert: What Does Committing to Purpose Look Like?
What does it mean for a business leader to be truly committed to purpose – and to lead a company that brings its purpose to life every day? We asked Savage President Bethany Haley: What does it look like when a CEO believes in purpose and walks the talk?
Ask the Right Questions to Get the Right Budget
When writing an annual budget, many people want to start by brainstorming the strategies and tactics they want to act out over the year. They ask themselves, "What do I want to do?" and they compare their expectations for the coming year to what they did the year before.
Online Inspiration: Links to Feed the Savage Mind
We asked a handful of Savages (yes, that's what we call our group of talented employees) to share some of their favorite online resources. What you'll see here is an eclectic set of links that reflect our interests – branding, design, web, strategy and a bit of fun thrown in. We hope this sparks some new ideas for you.

Linchpin: Are you indispensable? by Seth Godin
Reviewed by: Glain Roberts-McCabe
The Premise: The capitalist factory-orientation towards work is fundamentally broken. There used to be two teams… management and labour. Now there is a third team: linchpins. And so begins Seth Godin's latest thought-provoking contribution. Thanks to the industrial age, we have been trained through school and corporate systems to be a replaceable cog in the wheel. Many of us are glorified factory workers with credentials. As corporations downsize MBA's, CGA's, BA's and "solid performers with 25 years tenure", Godin's book challenges you to think about job security differently. True security comes from being unique. And to be unique (and indispensable) you need to bring your best self to the marketplace. Linchpin explores how you can turn your "job" into "art" and enrich every interaction you make by changing people for the better. Godin dives into the internal barriers that hold us back and inspires the reader to make some bold choices about how to engage more fully in their careers. Although not a "how to" manual, Linchpin does provide a few tips on how to make yourself indispensable and – as with most of Godin's books – gives you lots of brain candy to chew on.
The Bottom-line: I am a self-professed Seth Godin junkie. What I love about him (and other writers of this genre – Gladwell, Pink, Buckingham) is that he's a thought provoker. Linchpin is a bit of a rambling read but filled with insights and observations about the state of today's workplace that are worth paying attention to. Given last years economic meltdown, most people would agree that the motto for most organizations is "what have you done for me lately". Godin encourages readers to think beyond the job description and look closely at the value they can bring to the table. Just doing your job well doesn't cut it anymore. To ensure your job security you need to standout from the crowd, you need to become a linchpin. This book is about being brave. It's about overcoming your fears and bringing your greatest talents to work. After reading books like this, I always wonder how many people will actually embrace the message. Books like this challenge the status quo which can make them both scary and exhilarating at the same time.
Roundtable Rating: Highly recommended for individuals who are looking to "go big" with their lives.

They say that butterflies are free
to roam and wander
only to return to their birthplace.
As the butterfly is free,
so too are we
Free to roam and wander in spirit
Only to return to each other
For you are my birthplace, and I yours.
And our hearts are linked eternally
Bound by love, freed by love
Our linked spirits may rise
free as the butterfly
To explore life and all of its offerings
Together, forever.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if making money was easy? If it was something that you could do at the click of a button without selling anything and without putting any work in. That idea is, of course, far too good to be true. Yet, 'people' like Emily Young use scam sites to try and convince you that making money really is that simple.
More than anything, these sites prey on the way that people really want there to be an easy way to make money online. After all, if you are struggling to make money the traditional way, online can seem like an idea option.
In all seriousness, the internet really has become a good way to make money. But… you have to be very careful in how you go about it. There are so many different sites out there that try to mislead and manipulate, all to make money off you. Sometimes their tricks are very obvious, but other times, the sites do a pretty good job of deceiving.
The "Earn At Home Club" And The "Work At Home Club"
There are two very similar sites online, both promoted by someone called Emily Young. Additionally, there are a number of other 'review' sites that point to them. For example, one site promoting Earn at Home Club is this one here:
Hold up. Do you want to see exactly how I make money online? Here's how I build my affiliate sites that earn over $10,000 USD per month.
PS. If this is all too new to you, here's an FAQ on making money with affiliate marketing.
The WAHC logo is never explained, but it probably stands for Work at Home Club. Regardless, the site does a good job of looking professional. Appearances can be deceiving though. In reality, all of those menu links simply take you back to the promotion page for the site!
On this promotion site, and on the site for Earn at Home Club, there are so many concerning factors.
For example, both sites heavily promote the potential to make money, but neither offer any real information about what you are supposed to be doing. This should be a really big red flag. If you don't know how the system is supposed to work, you have no way of knowing whether it actually will work.
Here's another interesting thing:
Meet Emily Young. This is apparently the person behind the entire program. The image is far too perfect. It doesn't look like someone who actually runs a site. As someone that runs a business online, I would never let a kid play with my $2000 computer. Am I crazy?
Instead, it looks like something from a photoshoot. In fact… that's exactly what it is.
This is the same image, just flipped around – and it comes from the stock photo site Dreamstime. Stock photos are often used in this way. They help to make you think that there is a real person behind that site.
I'm sure there is a real person there. But, they aren't actually promoting an effective way to make money. Instead, they are using a fake name and fake story to get you to buy into their product.
Now, in this case, it doesn't seem like there is too much risk. After all, it only costs $4.97 to give it a try. Right?
Actually, no.
This site is a really big lesson in reading the fine print. The upfront cost is $4.97, but that doesn't actually buy you anything. That's just for a three day trial of the product. After that, you get charged $77 for the program, then an additional $57 each month. At the same time, you're signed up for a 'free' ten day trial of the site's Facebook training. If you don't cancel that, it will bill you $29 per month.
So, the site ends up costing $86 per month. That's a pretty heavy price, when the site doesn't even tell you what you're getting into.
My biggest issue is that this information isn't obvious. The image below is the only time where that information is presented. A lot of people will glance at that information without actually reading it. In general, far too few people read the fine print and in this case, not reading this information can be an expensive lesson.
The program also has a number of upsells that try to get you to spend even more money.
Can You Make Money?
The system itself appears to be some type of training for making money online, along with a website that is supposed to do it all for you. Training is important, but with this site you don't even know what approach they are supposed to be training you in. At the same time, you have no idea about the quality of what they offer.
You can't know if you actually want to make money in the methods they show, if you will have time to do it, or how much money you can make. So, why take all that risk?
There are safer ways to earn money, where you can know what you are getting into long before you put any money down. My own experience has taught me that however you do it, making money is going to take work and it's going to take time. I offer many free resources here on my website including video and training tutorials, plus access to membership websites and free ways to get your business started.
After reviewing more than 500 "make money" products and running my own successful affiliate websites for almost ten years, I'm really sick of buying stuff that doesn't work. Aren't you?
Wanna see how I make money? It's not fast. It's not easy. But it freakin' works.
Here's how I do it. I've been running my affiliate websites for a decade based on this exact system. Can you say the same?! If you are not making money online yet, or aren't making enough, you gotta check it out.
What's up ladies and dudes! Great to finally meet you, and I hope you enjoyed this post. My name is Nathaniell and I'm the owner of One More Cup of Coffee. I started my first online business in 2010 promoting computer software and now I help newbies start their own businesses. Sign up for my #1 recommended training course and learn how to start your business for FREE!
I'm so glad I came across this page! I ordered the product today as I figured what the heck, it's only $4.97!! I didn't do any of the upsells, as I knew I couldn't at this time. I never saw any of the fine print that you mentioned above!
I had written down all the contact info that they had provided when I signed up, so I just called and was able to cancel the subscription instantly. The woman that answered the phone was quite nice and answered my question about the recurring charges that you mentioned. YES…there would've been a $77 charge in 3 days!! Oh boy!! She cancelled it right away for me and gave me a confirmation number!
I don't even care about the $4.97 at this point! I'm looking at how much I saved by reading this and cancelling in time! Lesson learned……if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is….sigh!!
Desperation to find something that actually makes money has led me to making a few spontaneous mistakes. I feel doomed to stay poor…sigh.
THANK YOU for the info of charges on the fine print portion.and I will call my bank. HK
I wish I would have seen this last night, because I spent $97.00 to be a Link Poster for WAH. It wasn't $4.97. When I first read Emily Young's story last night, it had at the top of the page that a Young Mother that's out of work from Montpelier, Ohio, it got my attention, because I'm from the next town, so I thought that maybe this would be for real. I don't know what to do about getting my money back because the technical support line from WAH, nobody is answering. I need my money as I am disabled and can't afford to lose my money !! Can you give me any suggestions ??? Please ???
You should contact your bank. That's probably the only route at this point since the product seller will not answer your phone calls.
If it has stock imags and a lot of dollar bills then it's probably a sign that is a scam.

Auto Painting in Hudson, FL
Step 1 - Body Repair
Concerned about dents or scratches that are diminishing the appearance of your vehicle's paint job?
No need to worry! Our body repair technicians can perform a complete MAACOVER to eliminate any imperfections. Our trusted professionals use a Five-Step Process to make sure your new finish is perfect.
Step 2 - Surface Preparation
What's the importance of surface repair? You know those chips, scratches, cracks and excessive peeling on your vehicle? If left untreated and exposed to the elements over time, these conditions could ultimately ruin your paint job. Repairing such issues will help your vehicle receive the smoothest finish and highest possible gloss.
At Maaco of Hudson, our estimators examine your vehicle and suggest condition repairs. We offer affordable surface prep options that ensure your MAACOVER looks great. A little surface repair before the paint goes on can ensure it holds that gloss and shine for years to come.
Step 3 - Surface Sealer
You may have noticed that some paint jobs just can't seem to hold their shine. This may be from the uneven color and gloss that sometimes comes from mixing old and new paint. Sealer performs the important task of providing a barrier between old and new paint.This allows for even color application and more gloss throughout the paint job.
Maaco of Hudson offers three different grades of sealer. The choice of which grade of sealer to use depends on desired durability and the amount of prep work your vehicle needs. Sealer will help your vehicle keep a shiny finish long after the paint job is done.
Step 4 - Paint Services
The three different paint packages that Maaco of Hudson offers are the Basic, Preferred and Premium packages. Each is tailored to your vehicle's specific needs and your budget. Each service is unique in their degree of longevity and appearance. Longevity of the paint includes warranty/durability and appearance includes gloss, color match and metallic appearance.
Paint Services
Basic #MAACOVER
Our Basic #MAACOVER includes an application of a single-stage enamel paint to revive your vehicle's paint job. This service also includes a one-year warranty, along with a glossy finish and accurate color match.
Preferred #MAACOVER
Need to keep your paint job at a reasonable price but want better durability?
The Preferred package is for you! It even comes with a three-year warranty. It consists of a single-stage paint application that utilizes urethane. This ingredient resists chipping and is more resilient than enamel finishes.
Premium #MAACOVER
When it comes to the best look and performance, there is no topping our two-stage Premium service. Complete with a five-year warranty, this service offers the highest level of durability, best possible glossy finish and superb color match that you will want to show off for years.
Step 5 - Protection & Finish
After investing in a quality paint job, make sure to take the steps to protect it. AT Maaco, we often apply clear coats after painting to not only protect the fresh paint job, but to also ensure gloss match and an overall seamless repair.
Step 6 - Proper Car Care
Making sure the durability and appearance of your new paint last a long time requires proper car care. Proper maintenance will enable your car to better hold its color and shine and provide protection from the environment.
Try to do the following:
- Avoid driving on sand, salt or loose gravel;
- Park in the shade, but avoid trees;
- Wash your car regularly.
Remove unwanted contaminants that may be damaging your finish by washing your car regularly. Elements such as tree sap, bird droppings or bugs can damage your car's finish. We recommended that you hand wash your car twice a month with mild automotive detergent. Avoid scratching the surface of the paint by using a soft cloth or sponge.
Also make sure to rinse underneath your car to remove salt, dirt, or other chemicals that can cause rusting.
Four to six weeks following your paint job, we recommend that you start waxing your vehicle every 3-4 months to protect the new finish. Make sure to use an automotive wax that does not contain abrasive cleaning agents, such as silicone.
Apply a thin coat of wax to the entire car using the provided applicator and with short, circular motions. Allow the wax to dry completely before removing it. Apply firm pressure and use the same circular motion with a terry cloth towel to wipe the wax off.

Morsi Given Ultimatum as Protests in Egypt Escalate
Egyptian protestors ransacked the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood (President Mohamed Morsi's party) Monday morning, as mass protests which began on Sunday continued to rage. Recent protests—which are the largest since the 2011 revolution—have left at least 16 people dead, and over 700 injured.
Eight of the sixteen deaths occurred in Cairo during clashes outside the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Moqattam, where protestors ransacked the building and set parts of it ablaze.
Three more protesters were fatally shot on Sunday in Egypt's Assiut region, in violent altercations between Morsi's supporters and his opponents, while similar clashes in Alexandria, Kafr El-Sheikh, Beni Suef, and Fayoum killed another four.
Millions of demonstrators marched through the streets across Egypt on Sunday to demand that President Mohammed Morsi resign, in some of the largest protests the country has seen since the 2011 revolution.
Morsi, who is accused of failing to deal with both security and economic problems in the country, has been given until Tuesday to leave by protesters.The ministers of tourism, environment, communication, and legal affairs are already said to have resigned.So far, Morsi is sticking his ground, and maintaining that demonstrators shouldn't be allowed to remove an elected president lest the same tactic be used to force future presidents out as well.

What Is GIF By SOCIFI?
Unlike other ICOs what makes SOCIFI different is the fact that it is a pre-existing company which provides free WiFi to people all across the globe. Socifi with their ICO wants to create a decentralized, blockchain-based marketplace which will provide free cellular data to users. They have already partnered with some big companies, you can find out more details about their sponsors and partners in the company's Whitepaper.
The aim of SOCIFI is to raise 47.9 million USD in the ICO to buy bulks of mobile data. Companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Uber, and Microsoft are already willing to provide free data in exchange for free sponsored advertising.
How Will GIF By SOCIFI Work?
In order to use free mobile data, the users will have to download the SOCIFI application on their phones so that they can interact with these large companies. Since it's a sponsored data ICO the companies will be pushing advertisements and surveys to attract the maximum number of users and offer them the best deal to avail the free mobile data usage offer. The user doesn't have to pay anything it will be absolutely free.
Future Prospects of this ICO?
Advertisement: If SOCIFI ICO is successful they will be able to provide a new outlet to large companies which will enable them to connect with their consumers directly. By doing so not only the companies will be building a stronger relationship with their consumers but they will also be able to do more effective marketing which will be much better than the traditional forms of marketing.
Free Mobile Data: This service might turn out to be revolutionary since the idea that they are proposing will be beneficial for common people (providing internet access to the masses in developing countries, where the cost of mobile data is really high.
This is a tried and tested idea as SOCIFI is already providing free WiFi to over 50 Million users in 67 different countries worldwide, Now they want to try the same idea with free cellular data since the number of mobile users is much higher.
In developed countries, we already have access to the internet and we have to pay small subscription fees every month and same goes for cellular data. However, In other parts of the world where internet services are not only expensive but are also available in only certain regions. Cellular data is the only solution to provide internet access on a massive scale without having to spend a fortune on building infrastructure, these large companies will compete with one another to build cellular towers in remote areas so that they can attract more consumers by spending less amount of money on marketing and taking a positive approach instead of having to spend money on Billboards, TV Commercials or Social Media anymore.

- Consider technical details. Car trackers consist of a wireless transmitter, cellular technology and a satellite system. Pay attention to specific parameters to make sure you won't have troubles with dead spots.
- Consider your budget. Similarly to other electronic devices, the cost of car tracker in Nigeria varies depending on a model. Some come with the features you won't actually use, some with monthly subscription fees. Set a budget to avoid paying more than you can afford.
- Consider circumstances. Accuracy, frequency of reports, and complexity of software define the functionality and price of a car tracker.
- Consider a type – cellular, wireless, satellite-based; whether it should be compact or size doesn't matter. If you don't know how to install car tracker, make sure a manual is included in a kit or you can consult an assistant.
- Consider a place for purchase. You can check out deals in a number of online and regular stores, but most likely you'll find the best deals for a car tracker in Nigeria on Jiji.

Rayshawn Hailstock, the 21-year-old who died after a fight in Southeast D.C. Sunday, testified in the Davon Holmes murder trial three days prior to his death. Metropolitan police are conducting a death investigation in the case and have not declared Hailstock's death a homicide.
Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said in an email Wednesday afternoon that the Holmes trial and Hailstock's death are not related.
Holmes was convicted around noon Wednesday of second-degree murder while armed in connection with the death of 24-year-old Marcellus Bailey.
Hailstock testified last week that he was one of the last people to see Bailey alive.
Hailstock said that on the morning of August 3, 2011, Bailey and Holmes were arguing on the corner of 8th and Jefferson Street Northwest and at some point Holmes made a "slapping motion" at Bailey. Hailstock testified that he didn't see a weapon in Holmes' hand, but Holmes immediately ran off and jumped in the rear passenger seat of a nearby vehicle. The car then "screeched out of the neighborhood," Hailstock said.
After the vehicle sped off, Bailey paced up and down the sidewalk a few times, while holding the side of his neck and bleeding profusely. Hailstock said that Bailey pulled his cell phone out his pocket and placed it near his ear, then placed it back in his pocket and asked Hailstock for a cigarette. Hailstock didn't have one, so the two walked to Bailey's truck.
Bailey found a cigarette and then sat in his truck for about five minutes holding his neck, which was "squirting and oozing blood." And Hailstock lit Bailey's cigarette because he couldn't do it himself. Bailey took "three pulls," Hailstock said.
Bailey later died at Washington Hospital Center. Holmes was convicted Wednesday of second-degree murder while armed; he is scheduled to be sentenced August 30.
Hailstock was found dead in the 2300 Block of Alabama Avenue SE around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. An MPD press release says that Hailstock died following a fight that evening, but it does not make clear the manner and cause of Hailstock's death. Beverly Fields, Chief of Staff for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in DC, said Wednesday that Hailstock's case is "pending."
This story has been updated to reflect the comments from Chief Cathy Lanier.
A press release from the US Attorney's Office has been added to this post below.

Research Handbook on International Banking and Governance

Chapter 13: Market Discipline for Financial Institutions and Markets for Information
Apanard P. Prabha, Clas Wihlborg and Thomas D. Willett
Apanard P. Prabha, Clas Wihlborg and Thomas D. Willett 13.1 INTRODUCTION Under ideal conditions competitive markets should induce firms to adopt good governance procedures that lead to the maximization of shareholder value. Firms that do not approximate such behavior will face penalties in the form of lower profitability and higher costs of financing. Ultimately the wayward firms will be forced out of business or at least shrink or be taken over. Ideally market discipline would begin to come into play as soon as a firm begins to go astray, and markets would provide early warning signals and incentives in sufficient time for management to take corrective actions well before bankruptcy or financial market disruptions occur. The recent global financial crisis has again shown that once concern arises in the markets they place enormous pressure on public as well as private sector entities. As we will document in sections 13.4 and 13.5, however, financial markets generally failed in the run-up to the crisis in terms of giving strong warning signals in a timely enough fashion for disaster to be avoided. A major purpose of this chapter is to analyze why such early warning signals were not forthcoming and consider what, if anything, can be done to help induce financial markets to provide early warning signals that provide corrective discipline in advance of the generation of crisis conditions. We also consider theoretical arguments and empirical evidence on whether some types of financial instruments have tended to be better than others at providing...
