Dallas, 03/20/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Everyone who has worked on a computer knows that sometimes errors just happen. In most cases, simply restarting the machine or running some antivirus software can take care of the problem with few negative side effects save for perhaps a temporary dip in productivity.

In several cases in Alameda County, California, however, software glitches have resulted in false arrests, residents being forced to serve unnecessary jail time, and even some individuals being incorrectly registered as sex offenders.

The story, which appears on Ars Technica, states that the issues began when the Alameda County superior court switched to a new courtroom management software system in December 2016. Since then, the software, which is called Odyssey Court Manager and is manufactured by Tyler Technologies, has botched thousands of cases.

Public Defender’s Office Calls for Court to Provide Accurate Records

The report goes on to state that the county public defender’s office has filed 2,000 motions informing the court that its ongoing software errors have harmed innocent people. Because of the problems with the software, individuals have been arrested without cause, wrongfully held in jail, and subjected to searches that violated their constitutional rights.

The public defender’s office has also filed motions demanding that the court provide accurate records within 24 hours and properly mark records indicating if individuals should be arrested. The office of the public defender has also filed motions alleging that the court must return to its old courtroom management system if it’s unable to issue accurate records within the 24-hour timeframe.

Despite this pressure from the public defender’s office, the court overseeing the malfunctioning software case has denied the motions, stating, “Although the court recognizes that Odyssey has resulted in unlawful arrests and searches, clerical errors that affect a defendant’s Fourth Amendment right to privacy will occur regardless of the case management system used by the court.”

The county public defender has stated that he will appeal the court’s ruling. According to the report, courts in Maine have also experienced the same issues with the Tyler Technologies courtroom management software. There have also been nationwide reports of the Odyssey software malfunctioning.

Nationwide Issues with New Courtroom Management Software

According to a separate report, lawsuits against Tyler Technologies have been filed in several states. In one case, the plaintiff claims Tyler’s software led to a false arrest. In dozens of other cases, plaintiffs say they were forced to spend days or even weeks in jail erroneously.

As the New Year gets underway, it’s customary to reflect on the previous year. 2016 was a busy year with plenty of ups and downs. Unfortunately, it was also a bad year for aviation accidents. Specifically, there were numerous unsolved plane crashes, including Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which was lost in 2014.

New York City aviation accident lawyer Jonathan C. Reiter explains, “Aviation accidents — especially a large scale accident like Flight 370 — are devastating because they result in such a large loss of life. For many families who lose someone in an airline crash, knowing why the crash occurred is just one way to bring some sense of closure. As the crash approaches the three-year mark, these families are still left to wonder what happened, which can intensify their grief.”

A total of 239 people were killed on Flight 370. Three countries — China, Malaysia, and Australia — are in charge of investigating the crash, and all three nations have stated they will stop searching for wreckage in January 2017 unless they discover new leads in the investigation. Aviation experts, including the president of the Australian Federation of Air Pilots, have said they’re opposed to calling off the investigation, as it’s important for the global aviation industry to know why accidents happen.

Other Major Crashes That Have Gone Unsolved

There were also other major aviation disasters that remained unsolved in 2016. For example, investigators still disagree over what caused the explosion of a Metrojet A321 that killed 224 people. The jetliner exploded over the Sinai Peninsula during a flight bound for St. Petersburg, Russia. Russian investigators determined that the disaster was an act of terrorism, however, Egyptian officials dispute this.

A May 2016 crash of an Egyptian plane that claimed the lives of 66 people has also been scrutinized. The flight crashed into the Mediterranean after taking off from Paris. French investigators reject the possibility of a bomb being smuggled through a French airport, while Egyptian investigators claim that traces of explosives were found on the bodies of some of the victims.

Although the U.S. is not involved in any of these crash investigations, a representative from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) commented on the problems that sometimes occur during aviation investigations in other countries, where political motives can skew the results. He stated that the U.S. and other Western countries have laws in place “designed to keep politics out of air crash investigations. But that is not the case in much of the rest of the world.”

If you read the term “sexual predator” in the news you might assume it involves the sexual assault of children. Sexual predators also operate in Florida assisted living facilities and nursing homes, where they work. Nursing home abuse attorney Joe Osborne says rapes in nursing homes are underreported and the government does little about them.

In a lengthy and grim report CNN goes into detail about the problem of rape in nursing homes and how ineffective government regulators are to prevent it from happening. They summed up their findings this way,

…(V)ictims and their families were failed at every stage. Nursing homes were slow to investigate and report allegations because of a reluctance to believe the accusations — or a desire to hide them. Police viewed the claims as unlikely at the outset, dismissing potential victims because of failing memories or jumbled allegations. And because of the high bar set for substantiating abuse, state regulators failed to flag patterns of repeated allegations against a single caregiver…It’s these systemic failures that make it especially hard for victims to get justice — and even easier for perpetrators to get away with their crimes.

CNN found it’s difficult to learn the extent of the problem because state regulators lump allegations of sexual abuse with other forms of abuse. When these claims are investigated it’s rare that allegations are substantiated. Of 386 sexual abuse cases in Illinois since 2013, 59 were substantiated. In Texas 11 of 251 sexual assault complaints in the 2015 fiscal year were substantiated. Wisconsin informed CNN it didn’t substantiate any reported sexual abuse in the last five years.

Federal data from the Administration for Community Living shows that there have been about 16,000 complaints of sexual abuse reported in long-term care facilities since 2000. Agency officials told CNN that number represents part of the problem because they count only cases where state long-term care ombudsmen got involved.

CNN reports that facility inspection reports filed nationwide between 2013 and 2016 and an analysis of actions taken against long term care facilities show:

The federal government cited more than 1,000 nursing homes for mishandling or failing to prevent alleged cases of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse at their facilities.

Nearly a hundred of these facilities were cited multiple times.

At least a quarter of the reports included allegations that assaults were allegedly perpetrated by aides, nurses and other staff members, while a small portion involved facility visitors (including family members) or unknown assailants.

Most citations dealt with cases of residents abusing other residents, accusations against caregivers and other workers tended to be far more serious.

More than 500 facilities were cited for failing to investigate and report allegations of sexual abuse to authorities or for not properly screening employees for potentially abusive pasts. One nursing director told a state inspector that “if the facility reported all allegations it would be numerous and the State Agency wouldn’t want that either.”

CNN found this epidemic of sexual assault of the elderly and disabled couldn’t happen without the negligent or intentional actions of nursing home management.

Allegations by residents are often questioned or dismissed because victims have cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s.

Workers often lack training needed to spot sexual abuse so abuse that should be found and reported is not.

The reputation and continued operation of the facility may take priority over resident safety. Staff may fear investigators looking into a facility may expose other issues, threaten a nursing home with closure or open the door to costly lawsuits.

There are also instances where administrators and employees actively impeded investigations.

CNN’s investigation shows that government regulators are not equipped to handle this problem for many reasons. The reality is that lawsuits filed on behalf of sexual assault victims in nursing homes may be the most effective way to hold a negligent nursing home accountable for allowing these crimes to take place.

If a family member living in an assisted living facility or nursing home in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach Counties is the victim of a sexual assault, contact Boca Raton nursing home abuse attorney Joe Osborne at (561) 800-4011 or fill out this online contact form. We can talk about the situation, how the law could apply in your case and the best legal options to protect your rights and obtain compensation for your loved one’s injuries.

New Jersey, 03/20/2017 /SubmitPressRelease123/

One of the most common fears that people have about going to an alcohol or drug rehab for drug addiction treatment is what their friends and loved ones will think about them. While the stigma associated with drug and alcohol addiction has decreased over the last several years as more people have come out and talked about it, it does still exist. Some people believe that people suffering from substance abuse are unfit morally, victims of their own bad choices, or lacking in self-control. None of those things are true, and chemical addiction affects people from all walks of life, but unfortunately, it still prevents many people from seeking help.

For more information about the stigmas associated with drug or alcohol addiction read: Substance Abuse Experts on Understanding and Reducing the Stigma of Addiction

All that said, if you have taken the difficult step of seeking treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, you have made a courageous decision. It takes a strong person to ask for and accept the help that drug or alcohol addiction treatment offers and you have already accomplished that.

Now that you are out of addiction treatment, you may be wondering if you should let people know. Ultimately, the choice of whether or not to tell is yours. You certainly don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to, or if you think there will be negative consequences if you do. Should you decide to, there are some points that it is important for you to remember if you don’t get the responses you want.

Some people will not be accepting. No matter who you are, what you do, or how much you have overcome, there will be people who will not be accepting or supportive of your recovery. They may try to dissuade you from talking about it or ignore it altogether. The thing to remember is that you really don’t need anyone’s acceptance. When you get into recovery, you will find out who your supporters are – stick with them. You don’t need the people who don’t accept your recovery.

You can’t control what other people think. There is a saying in the recovery community that says, “What other people think of you is none of your business.” And it’s true. You can’t (and shouldn’t try to) control what someone else thinks. Attempting to will only cause them frustration and cause you disappointment. When you are able to accept that, you will be able to decide whether what they think is something you can live with and continue the relationship, or if it’s best to end it.

You probably won’t change anyone’s mind about it, but time might. If you have friends that think negatively about you being in recovery, or having had a drug or alcohol problem in the first place, it isn’t likely that you will be able to change their mind by explaining it to them. What may change their mind is seeing you working your recovery over time. When someone can see what recovery is all about, rather than just hear about it, they are more likely to change their thinking.

No one has walked in your shoes. Remember that only you know what you have been through. There is no one else in the world who has walked in your shoes. Your situation and experiences are your own. Even if you know someone has been through similar situations, his or her reactions and feelings are not the same as yours. In that, you can take heart when dealing with unsupportive people. It is easier for you to be accepting when someone just doesn’t understand, rather than believing that they don’t care or are being malicious.

Tell yourself the truth. Along with the last point, you have to tell yourself the truth about your recovery. You know your own story and your progress in recovery. You know that being in recovery is a very positive thing, despite how hard it can sometimes be. Hold onto the fact that you are moving in the right direction in getting your life back, you’re brave and strong, and have a lot of perseverance.

You Can Only Control You

Being in recovery is difficult enough without worrying about what other people’s perception of you is. You have control over whether you tell friends about your addiction and recovery or not. But if you decide to, you have to be prepared to hear their opinions. The thing to keep in mind is, that their opinion doesn’t matter and you have to do your best to not let their negative thoughts affect your recovery. Whether you accept that you have differing opinions is up to you, as is whether it’s a deal-breaker or not.

Early recovery is a vulnerable time and you don’t want to make it harder on yourself than it already is. If that means not telling someone that you are in recovery from drug addiction, or waiting until farther down the road to tell them, then so be it. As you grow in your recovery, to tell or not to tell will not be such a big deal. It will get easier; you just have to stay on the right path.

When it comes to airline safety, most people naturally think about pre-flight checks, pilot training, and technological advances. It’s probably safe to assume that few people think about the airline crew’s uniforms as a potential safety hazard.

Yet that is exactly what seems to be happening, as reported in a recent USA Today story. According to numerous American Airlines employees, the company’s new uniforms are making crew members sick—and not over the fashion choices.

American Airlines recently debuted an entirely new set of uniforms for over 70,000 employees. Apparently, workers’ response to the new look was mostly positive. However, complaints began to trickle in. Soon, workers began complaining of headaches, rashes, and hives. Others have reportedly suffered eye irritation and respiratory problems. Over 1,600 American Airlines employees have claimed the new uniforms are causing health problems.

The complaints have become so widespread that the collective bargaining unit for flight attendants sent a formal memo to its members saying it is asking American Airlines to recall the uniforms to determine what is causing the health issues.

Not the First Time for Defective Airline Uniforms

Interestingly, this is not the first time the vendor responsible for making the uniforms has come under fire for producing uniforms that caused health problems. CNN Money reports that the company, Twin Hill, supplied uniforms for Alaska Airlines in 2011, but the airline had to recall the uniforms after flight attendants complained of similar health issues.

Twin Hill’s parent company, Tailored Brands, also owns Men’s Wearhouse (intentional misspelling part of the company name). In 2012, a group of Alaska Airlines flight attendants lost a class action lawsuit that claimed Twin Hill’s uniforms caused an allergic reaction due to the inclusion of a chemical known as Disperse Orange 37/76.

Disperse Orange 37/76 is a dye and a known skin irritant that is banned in apparel clothing in the United States.

An internet search for Twin Hill uniforms also turns up numerous complaints posted online from UPS drivers, who wear uniforms manufactured by the apparel company. Photos posted on UPS employee forums show individuals with red, irritated skin and hives, with workers claiming their health problems were caused by Twin Hill uniforms.

Currently, American Airlines says it is running more tests on the uniforms to determine what is causing the irritation and other ailments. In the meantime, many workers have been allowed to return to wearing their old uniforms.

New York City defective products lawyer Jonathan C. Reiter cautions, “Employees should report any health problems they believe to be caused by defective uniforms. Many of the chemicals and dyes used in apparel have been known to cause health problems. When you wear an item of clothing for hours each day, it can cause serious concerns. Employers who require their employees to wear a uniform at work have a responsibility to provide safe uniforms, and they need to address complaints when they arise.”

March 21, 2017 – – Philip Jepsen, the CEO of award-winning Amazon seller software, ManageByStats, announced today that they will be launching a new series of informative Tips emails and blogs designed to help their customers and other Amazon sellers. The tips will focus on areas of selling on Amazon, and will cover topics specific that activity, while also instructing on areas where ManagebyStats can help. The idea is to provide suggestions and ideas for improving Seller success.

“We’re switching gears here a little,” says Mr. Jepsen. “Or I should say, adding a parallel track. We’re going to continue with our usual announcements of features and updates, but to that we’re now branching into tips that will be instructive for more than just using the ManageByStats program. Our goal is to provide knowledge that will help anyone selling on Amazon.”

ManageByStats is a suite of online software tools for Amazon sellers that includes tools for sales, customer and inventory management, automated email notifications, email campaigns and review, feedback and keyword features. ManageByStats also provides an email and phone appends service, and offers an appends option that does not require an Amazon account.

“Our first article will focus on ways to use customer emails to build lists in Facebook,” says Mr. Jepsen. “Direct emailing is not as effective as it used to be, and complimentary or even alternative methods of reaching your audience are becoming key. Facebook is a great way to do this, and MBS offers solutions for getting the real email addresses that will help you build the best possible audiences.”

ManageByStat’s new Tips emails will be going out to their user base, and the Tips blog will be available on their website for anyone. If interested parties have further questions, the company may be contacted directly by email.

March 21, 2017 – – The Strategic Edge, a business in New York, NY, is proud to announce that they are offering a new coaching program for executives and the development of their leadership potential. This program focuses specifically on high potentials and on how this links to emotional intelligence. These enhancement programs are designed for people who have high-functioning leadership ability and need to improve their already evident capabilities.

Meredith Gardner, Ph.D., from the Strategic Edge says: “I often work with geniuses… They are people who are remarkably perceptive about everything but their own personalities. The most effective leaders are great communicators who adapt their communication style in order to influence others, but they need enhancement training to climb the corporate ladder.”

All organizations understand that they have a number of high potentials within their midst. These are the people that have the most potential to become true leaders and to drive the company to great heights. Unfortunately, these high potentials are often overlooked, due to two main reasons. First of all, HR executives generally feel that everybody has potential, and it is therefore not fair to invest heavily in one person, but not in an other. Second, since only a very small percentage of the entire workforce is a high potential, companies are quite secretive about this, so as to not demotivate others.

Interestingly, in a recent survey, it was shown that 50% of companies state that only 10% of their time is spent on leadership development. Yet, 93% also feel that high potentials are more likely to get promoted. Dr. Gardner wants to balance these two figures, thereby ensuring that more of the right people can get the same opportunities.

Those who have worked with Dr. Gardner in the past and have used her services have been very happy about the results. “Meredith,” says Henry L. on The Strategic Edge’s website, “you are more than a leadership guru – it doesn’t fully incorporate everything you are. You are part leadership consultant/life coach/spiritual advisor/out-of-the-box solution finder/holistic/emphatic/evolutionary (helps you grow organically)/revolutionary (radically different approach to coaching)/visionary (sees beyond the obvious).”

People are encouraged to visit the website for further information on Dr. Gardner’s executive coaching tools.

March 21, 2017 – – Best Seller Publishing CEO and Founder Rob Kosberg was able to benefit from his own best selling book, which prompted him to do the same for others. The Pasadena, CA company is now considered to be a leader in publishing and business growth strategies. In one of his interviews, Kosberg relates how after he lost his previous financial service and real estate business due to the financial crisis, he was able to turn this around into a success by using the principles he discussed in the book.

Kosberg has been interviewed numerous times on his ability to turn a crisis into a success. One of those interviews, with CBS SF Bay Area, can be seen on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPC7EydjYeU&index=2&list=PLx_yr7m1W4SkDi6gn5hM07r0PneZPVwmS. In this interview, he shares the story of how he successfully reinvented himself when he lost it all, in the hopes of showing others and inspiring them to do the same. He declares, “If I can do it, anyone can.”

“I am one of the thousands, if not millions, of people who literally lost it all during the financial crisis,” says Rob Kosberg himself. “Just like with many other people, I had a family to support and times were tough. However, I decided to use my knowledge and experience in the real estate and financial service, and write a book about that. The book became an almost overnight best seller, and this is what prompted me to turn all of it into a service, ensuring others are able to do the same.”

In his interview with Business Rockstars’ Mark Lack, he discusses how it is possible for anyone to write a best selling book, to launch it, and to create authority around it. Best Seller Publishing is there to inspire and inform people on how they can become bestselling authors. “We help coaches, consultants, brick and mortar business owners to write a book, and then launch that book to best seller status, and then help them to use that to profit from it,” says Kosberg in the interview.
