Senate Unanimously Passes Bill Allowing Families of 9/11 Victims to Sue Saudi Arabia

May 27, 2016 – – Parker Waichman LLP, a national law firm that has long fought to ensure that the heroes and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are never forgotten, continues to fight for the rights of these heroes and survivors and comments the United States Senate unanimously passed a bill in May 2016 that would enable families to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged role in the 9/11 attacks, according to a Reuters report dated May 17, 2016.

The bill would allow neither Saudi Arabia, nor any other country that has alleged associations with terrorist groups, from invoking legal immunity in U.S. courts, noted HuffPost. Currently, the 1976 Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act does grant such immunity to countries that are not designated state sponsors of terrorism.

The bill followed the continual dismissal of claims in New York courts that were filed by the families of 9/11 victims and brought against Saudi Arabia. Allegations include that Saudi Arabia assisted in financing the 2001 terrorist attacks.

Senators John Cornyn (Republican-Texas) and Chuck Schumer (Democrat-New York) brought their Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, seeking a quick vote, which stalled for months. Neither Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Republican-Kentucky) nor House Speaker Paul Ryan (Republican-Wisconsin) have expressed interest; however, the Act made it through the Senate chamber this week on a voice vote.

“The bill is very near and dear to my heart as a New Yorker, because it would allow the victims of 9/11 to pursue some small measure of justice by giving them a legal avenue to hold foreign sponsors of terrorism accountable,” Schumer told the HuffPost. “These courts are following what we believe is a nonsensical reading of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.”

The White House is seeking to stop the bill as administration officials warn that it would put Americans overseas at legal risk, leave the U.S. susceptible in global court systems, and perhaps put Americans in jeopardy over threats made by Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has denied any role in the 9/11 attacks and threatened retaliation by selling hundreds of billions of dollars in American assets should Congress pass the bill, according to HuffPost.

“September 11th responders selflessly answered the call for help during and following the attack. What’s more, survivors may not know for years if they have developed a life-altering, even deadly, condition as a result of the attacks,” said Mathew McCauley, Senior Litigation counsel at Parker Waichman. “We will continue to fight for what is best for these survivors and for what is best for our country.”

Parker Waichman vows to continue its efforts to safeguard these heroes and survivors, while also not endangering innocent Americans. Please visit Parker Waichman’s website or call 1-800-LAW-INFO (1-800-529-4636) for additional information and assistance.

The website aims to provide a place where people can connect with East Asians internationally for free. The site can be accessed through http://www.east-asiandating.com.

A representative from East-AsianDating.com says: “We hope that our website is the place where you will find your soulmate. We believe that you cannot put a price on love, which is why using and chatting to singles on our website is completely free.”

The site now enables anyone from any country to create a profile, post photographs, and chat to singles online. Within a very short space of time, you will be able to communicate with some incredible people all over the world.

The inspiration for the website started when the founders realized that there are significant differences between East Asian and Western cultures. These include differences in values, traditions, upbringings, and even food. Therefore, it can be very difficult for an East Asian to relate to someone of Western culture. As a result, there are significant obstacles to overcome for them to find a suitable partner or friend, particularly if they were born in different countries.

“Our website has joined the Dating Pro Network,” adds the representative. “This allows us to exchange users with a community of independent dating website owners, thereby bringing people more options to help them find an East Asian date and their perfect partner.”

East-AsianDating.com is designed to be the perfect site to connect with East Asian singles from all over the world so that you can find an asian date. The site makes meeting people online a fun and exciting experience. The services enable people from all over the world to connect and communicate in a completely unique manner.

Construction Accident Lawyer Makes Statement About Construction Deaths Nationwide

May 27, 2016 – – LipsigLawyers.com’s Thomas Moverman recently commented on the death of an Iowa man who was killed doing construction work in Denver earlier this month. Moverman stated that deaths such as these are all too frequent across the U.S. and that action should be taken to improve workplace safety.

The Iowa man had been doing construction on a wall at 102 W. Main Street in Denver when a portion of the foundation wall tipped over and trapped him, according to reports from KWWL 7. The man was freed by emergency personnel but sadly, had died at the scene.

There are several types of construction accidents that affect workers on the job. Among those are scaffolding accidents, slips, trips and falls, and ladder accidents. Common injuries associated with construction accidents include lacerations, broken or fractured bones, severe bruising that can lead to blood clots, spinal injuries, and brain injuries. According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), there are about 2.3 million construction workers in the United States at any given time and in 2013, more than 20% of all work-related fatalities were employed in the construction industry.

Lawyers at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman are currently looking to assist individuals who have been injured in a construction accident. The New York based firm is currently offering free consultations to those individuals injured in a construction accident. Mr. Moverman has represented hundreds of victims involved in these accidents and, in some cases, has helped those individuals receive the compensation they deserve. One victim represented by Moverman was awarded $2.6 million following a fall from defective scaffolding that injured his knee and back.

For more information on construction injuries, to ask questions, or for a consultation, contact an attorney with Lipsig Shapey, Manus & Moverman at any time by calling (646)-846-4496.

Bariatric Surgery Clinic In Mexico Encourages Eating Mindfully After Weight Loss Surgery

May 27, 2016 – – Bariatric Mexico Surgery, in Tijuana, Mexico, has released a new blog post to encourage people to eat mindfully after their weight loss surgery. With increasing numbers of people seeking bariatric surgery in Mexico, the clinic is committed to not just offering a quality service, but to also making sure that people receive appropriate aftercare. This includes paying attention to what they are eating.

Alma Orozco from Bariatric Mexico Surgery says: “A lot of people come to Mexico for bariatric surgery because it is of such high quality and because it is more affordable. We welcome this and have a team of committed professionals on board to ensure the procedure is a success. However, because people do not live in Mexico, they often have less aftercare than they would if they had the procedure nearer to their home. We want to ensure our patients are equipped with all the knowledge they need to avoid complications further down the line.”

Eating mindfully after surgery is vital to the overall success of bariatric procedures. However, it is more than simply eating the right foods at the right time in the right amount. Mindfulness is a practice in which people learn to live in the moment. By eating mindfully, people can break through the unhealthy relationships they have with foods, teaching them to actually enjoy each individual bite as it happens.

“Many people who have had bariatric surgery see food as both their best friend and biggest enemy,” adds Alma Orozco. “They have forgotten that food is there to nourish us and keep us healthy, as well as to be enjoyed in the right amounts. What we want to teach people is to break the cycle of having an emotional attachment to food, making sure that they eat what they should, when they should, and that they really enjoy it in that very moment as well. It teaches them about the different types of hunger, and how to differentiate between them as well.”

The service encourages everyone to follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/bariatricmexicosurgery/, where various other pieces of information are shared.

Bayside Pet Resort Dedicates Itself To Pet Services, Excellence, And Community Causes

May 27, 2016 – – Bayside Pet Resort Of OspreySarasota, Florida Bayside Pet Resort with locations in Sarasota and Osprey, Florida continues activities that establish it as a five-star pet resort with a special commitment to support causes important to local communities. The new Bayside logo conveys the spirit of a pet resort with a heart.

As a pet resort, Bayside’s services and facilities are second to none, featuring sparkling clean pet suites, webcams, in-ground doggy pools, cats-only play areas, and more. You only have to glance at their online customer reviews, or visit the web page, You Tube Channel, or Facebook page, to see the love poured into every day at the resort by the trained professionals responsible for the well-being of their furry guests. But, that’s not the full story.

Underlying Bayside’s excellent facilities and services is the clear, quiet, mission of owners Bob and Lynne Huff to make a positive difference in the community in which they serve. They work hard to provide their dog and cat guests with excellence, and enrich the community along the way. They’re clearly not just another pet boarding, training, or grooming facility. A few recent examples put their mission on display:

Bayside is actively involved in using and supporting the Bradenton Bridges of America program, a work-release transition program that allows inmates to get work experience. Angie Pantazis, director at Bayside Pet Resorts, says there are six Bridges inmates working there. Bayside and a few other local employers took an active role in successfully encouraging the state to keep the Bridges program open, despite the threat of a state funding cut.

Angie believes doing the right thing for the program also benefits Bayside, and its clients. “Our staff has written letters about how each one of these women impacted their lives…we can all agree that they’ve been a contributing part of the Bayside family and we are forever changed by their presence. Because of their outstanding performance, upon completion of the program, our hope is that they stay on as Bayside employees.”

In the spirit of families helping families, Bayside hosts special Easter Seals events, and is a continuing supporter of the youth training program, helping special needs youth prepare for the workplace. Bayside has hired two young adults from the program who have become an important part of the Bayside team.

The fun Bow Wow Luau event held at Bayside’s Osprey location, raised $11,000 for the nonprofit animal rescue, Satchel’s Last Resort. Bayside supports this organization because it provides lifelong shelter to dogs and cats deemed unadoptable, nurtures and trains borderline dogs, and offers temporary shelter to adoptable dogs and cats whose owners can no longer care for them.

Judging by the seventy-five, five-star client reviews earned by their newest facility in Osprey, Bayside loves to care for their dog and cat guests, and the betterment of the community is just as much a part of their purpose for being in business.

Custom College Visits and YOUniversityTV.com Join Forces to Enhance the College Visit Experience

May 27, 2016 – – Custom College Visits, the world’s leading expert in planning personalized, multi-day college tours and on-campus visits for college-bound teens and their families, has entered into a partnership with YOUniversityTV.com.

As part of an effort to provide additional college-related information for their website visitors and clients, Custom College Visits is now collaborating with Youniversitytv.com to make available their college tour video content.

Janice Caine, CEO of Custom College Visits remarks, “We want to make each student’s on-campus visits as personal and in-depth as possible, and having easy access to Youniversitytv.com’s virtual tours will allow families that more immersive experience. While these virtual tours do not take the place of in-person visits with student and faculty interaction, a virtual reality tour offers a preview of what to expect and can help families determine who and what they want to see when they get there.”

Having access to these videos will also be very valuable for students that are just beginning their college search, as well as for those students who cannot travel to see all of the colleges on their list. According to Steve Conklin YOUniversityTV.com’s Senior Producer, “It’s a natural fit for YOUniversityTV’s college video tours to be showcased on Custom College Visit’s website. Our videos will serve as a good first step for college-bound students to see what a campus looks like and hear directly from students, faculty, and admissions representatives from colleges – before they visit them in person.”

As an initial step, Custom College Visits will be creating a collection of website pages, each highlighting a sample college tour itinerary—to be accompanied by one or more relevant videos and related college information. These pages will be available on Custom College Visits’ website at the beginning of July.
