Philadelphia, 11/28/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

The week of Thanksgiving is one of the biggest travel weeks of the year. It’s the kickoff to the holiday season, and people use this time to visit friends and family all over the country.

Unfortunately, the boost in traffic also means a sharp increase in car and truck accidents. After all, semi-truck drivers have to continue delivering their freight regardless of how many extra cars on are the road. For them, driving is a full-time job. If you plan to travel this Turkey Day, here are several things you can do to make sure you reach your destination safely, according to the American Red Cross.

Wear your seat belt. It’s true: Seat belts save lives. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) points out that wearing your seat belt is the single most important thing you can do to lower your risk of being killed in a car or truck accident.
Don’t drive drowsy. The CDC estimates that up to 6,000 fatal vehicle accidents each year are caused by drowsy drivers. Of course, turkey and the consumption of large meals are associated with sleepiness. If you plan on tucking into a large dinner at Thanksgiving, consider tucking into bed before you hop in the car.
Be cautious in work zones. Road work is inevitable if you plan on driving on the highway for a long road trip. If you encounter road construction, slow down and take your time.
Don’t speed. Speed limits are there for a reason. Excessive speed is the leading cause of traffic accidents. Staying safe is more important than shaving a few minutes off of your drive.
Don’t tailgate. Keep plenty of distance between your car and the vehicles in front of you—especially semi-trucks. Semis must often stop without much warning, which can make you crash into the trailer. Because these trailers are so much taller than the average vehicle, rear-end semi-truck collisions are usually catastrophic.
Pack an emergency kit. It’s a good idea to keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, especially if you plan to drive in snowy or icy weather. In bad storms, emergency workers are frequently overwhelmed with calls, and they may not be able to reach you right away. Having some supplies handy can help you stay safe and comfortable while you wait. Your kit should include bottled water, nonperishable food, batteries, a flashlight, flares, a blanket, and any spare medication you may need.

Dallas, 11/28/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

The last few years have been record-setting years for vehicle recalls. Most notably, the Takata airbag recall has affected over 100 million vehicles. If you have ever received a postcard in the mail, notifying you that your vehicle has been recalled, you may have wondered if semi-trucks are ever subject to similar recalls.

The answer is yes. Furthermore, because semi-trucks are required to undergo regular inspections, their owners must follow through on these recall notices. A failure to take the semi-truck in for repair or retrofitting can result in fines and even the issuance of a shutdown order from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).

FMCSA Issues Safety Bulletin for Volvo Trucks

The FMCSA can also issue safety bulletins ordering semi-truck owners and carrier companies to place recalled trucks out-of-service until they have been repaired. The agency did just that in March 2016, following a recall of Volvo trucks manufactured between 2015 and 2016. In that recall, a missing roll pin had the potential to allow the lower steering shaft to disconnect from the junction block, causing a total loss of steering.

Other Types of Semi Recalls

Fully loaded, semi-trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. It’s easy to understand why the FMCSA takes recalls seriously when it comes to these giant vehicles.

Although a semi-truck recall can be burdensome for truck operators and carriers—who depend on a functional fleet to earn a living—these trucks are massive machines with thousands of moving parts. Even a slight defect can cause a catastrophic accident. Safety is a priority—even if it means taking a truck off the road for a day or two while a defective part is replaced.

In some cases, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issues recalls. In other situations, the companies that manufacture parts for semis notify the NHTSA of a problem and issue their own voluntary recall. This type of recall occurred over the summer of 2016, when a truck part company voluntarily recalled 195,000 defective spring brake valves.

For regular vehicle owners, recalls are voluntary. You may not be required to take in your car for repair, but it’s incredibly important to do so. Although recalls can be an inconvenience, taking care of a potentially dangerous defect helps you stay as safe as possible on the road. You can check to see if your car has been recalled by visiting safercar.gov and entering your car’s VIN or make and model information.

Philadelphia, PA, USA, 11/23/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

The end of the year can be hectic, stressful but fun as well. Families and friends get together to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. Employers host office parties to end the year. You or your friends may host holiday parties. But along with the partying there is potential danger of serious injury says Philadelphia slip and fall attorney Rand Spear.

As the end of year approaches the weather can be very unpredictable. It may rain or it may snow then later melt. Darkness comes early and at night temperatures drop and ice can form. If you’re walking to or from a party the outside surface may not be properly cared for, pavement or stairs could be uneven or cracked and the lighting could be poor. A slip and fall onto pavement or cement can cause severe injuries whose impact could last a lifetime. A slip and fall could happen inside a home or apartment too. A floor may be wet, rugs or carpets could be loose, and stairs could be uneven.

In these situations there could be any number of parties who may be responsible for your injury and potentially liable for compensating you for your injuries. It could be the host who’s the homeowner, the owner of the apartment building you’re visiting or the company hired by the apartment building owner to maintain the safety of the sidewalk and common areas.

If you find yourself in this situation, get medical help. You won’t want to spend the evening in the emergency department at the local hospital but if you don’t feel right and fear you’ve been injured, get help. Get yourself checked out so if you are injured you can get prompt treatment to help you recover. Not getting help could worsen the injury and prolong the problem.

Make sure that  either you or someone else takes photos of the area where you fell. Try to show in the photo what the problem may have been and the location. While you’re being examined if you’ve suffered any bruises or cuts or worse, take photos of them as well. The next step is to contact a lawyer for slip and fall accidents.

If you’re the one hosting the party, control how much alcohol gets served. Don’t be afraid to cut people off. Not only are they a danger if they drive home they may lose their balance and fall on your property. Make sure you don’t drink too much so if an emergency situation arises you’ll be level headed about it. Make sure outside surfaces are clear and well lit. Look at your floors to see if there are any dangerous conditions that could trip someone up or cause them to fall.

If you or a loved one has been injured because of a slip and fall in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, contact Philadelphia slip and fall attorney Rand Spear at 888-373-4LAW today so you can set up a free consultation to discuss the accident, how the law may apply in your situation and what you should do next to protect your rights to compensation for your injuries.

Dallas, 11/23/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Michelangelo’s frescoes at the Sistine Chapel are considered a masterpiece without precedent, most famously featuring The Last Judgment, executed on the altar wall. The Last Judgment vividly portrays The Second Coming of Christ. Surrounded by numerous saints, Christ judges and sends human souls to their final judgment.

Work to prepare the altar wall began in 1535; the fresco took four years to complete between 1536 and 1541. Michelangelo started working on it 25 years after he finished the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

“We know that the theme of the Last Judgment is extremely important in the Catholic Church,” says Martin Biallas, CEO of Special Entertainment Events Inc., producer of the exhibition. “Often, a church will have a fresco or mosaic of the Last Judgment on the back (western) wall, so that the faithful, as they leave the services, are reminded that they will be judged by what they do during this earthly life. We have brought this iconic imagery to Dallas for many to see firsthand.”

On display through Jan. 8, 2017, at the Women’s Museum at Fair Park, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition features 16-foot brilliantly illuminated panels, with outstanding resolution, clarity and color, including The Creation of Adam and the 40×41-foot rendition of The Last Judgment.

Dallas reviews have called the exhibition “enjoyable … it’s bright, bold, and overwhelming” and “an innovative interpretation of the timeless masterpieces.”

Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition, co-produced by Beau Ioana of Giobeau Productions and Dallas-based Rafael Luna of Strategic Events, makes available a fully narrated audio tour (available in English and Spanish) that provides insight behind each and every panel on display.

Additional photos available here

Future programming will include lectures, cafe conversations and holiday-themed events. Unique gifts and merchandise will be for sale on-site throughout the engagement. More information is available at www.chapelsistine.com.

Hours and Pricing:

Now through Jan. 8, 2017 – Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Tickets for adults – $16 each

Children 7+/Students with ID/Seniors – $12 each

Family 4-packs – $45 per family

Groups of 10+ – $10 per person

All Children 6 and under – free admission

Audio guides available at Box Office for $2 per person *

* School and faith-based group pricing will include audio tours free of charge.

The one-of-a-kind exhibit offers fun for the entire family, showcasing 34 life-size photographic reproductions of Michelangelo’s ceiling frescoes, exhibited on 16-foot panels brilliantly illuminated, with outstanding resolution, clarity and color. Highlights of the exhibit include an intimate look at The Creation of Adam and a 40×41-foot rendition of The Last Judgment, as well as a fully narrated audio tour (available in English and Spanish) that provides narrative and insight behind each and every panel on display.

“Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition offers a chance to see these masterpieces in a unique and comfortable setting at a distance physically impossible to achieve in Vatican City,” says Martin Biallas, CEO of SEE Global Entertainment and producer of this exhibition that recreates one of the world’s greatest artistic achievements. The exhibition is co-produced by Beau Ioana of Giobeau Productions and by Dallas-based Rafael Luna of Strategic Events.

“During your visit, we allow you to take all the photos you desire, which is not permitted at the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City.

Philadelphia, PA, USA, 11/22/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Daniel Gallatin was a father, grandfather, veteran and fireman for nearly 40 years when he was killed in 2013 when his motorcycle was struck by a driver who was texting while driving in Hickory Township in Lawrence County in western Pennsylvania. Those who cared about him took action and helped pass Daniel’s Law which was signed by Governor Wolf earlier this month. This new state law imposes jail time for texting while driving in some situations. Philadelphia car accident lawyer Rand Spear says drivers are needlessly distracting themselves with cell phones and causing serious injuries and deaths.

Under the new law drivers distracted by their cell phones could be sentenced up to five years in prison if a motor vehicle accident results in a fatality. If texting while driving causes serious bodily injury it could result in a two year sentence. Under past law the highest fine for texting while driving, a primary offense in Pennsylvania, was $50. The driver who killed Gallatin served sixty days in jail, seven months of work release and house arrest on manslaughter charges, according to the Philly Voice.

More than 14,800 crashes were caused by drivers distracted by cell phones in 2015 in Pennsylvania, resulting in 66 deaths, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Nationwide distracted driving contributed to the deaths of 3,328 people in 2012 and about 421,000 people were injured in accidents involving distracted drivers.

William Van Camp was distracted by texting while driving in Bucks County in 2011 when his Volkswagen collided with a pickup truck, causing severe injuries to the two men inside. As part of his criminal sentence he needs to speak to young drivers about the dangers of texting while driving, according to NBC10.

Anthony Arminio and his father were in the truck. Arminio suffered broken legs, a broken pelvis, a broken hip and bleeding to his brain because of the accident. His father’s neck was broken. After three years the two have gotten more than $400,000 in medical treatment but both are still in pain due to their injuries.

Van Camp sent or received 13 text messages in the 12 minutes leading up to the accident. He admits to texting to three different people while behind the wheel. Van Camp can’t remember what he was texting about or who he was texting with at the time of the accident but he’s not forgetting the consequences. He spent nine months in prison, had to complete fifty hours of community service and pay restitution.

If you have been injured in a vehicle accident caused by a driver distracted by his or her cell phone whether you were in a vehicle or as a pedestrian in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, contact Philadelphia car accident lawyer Rand Spear at 888-373-4LAW today so you can set up a free consultation to discuss the accident, how the law may apply in your situation and what you should do next to protect your rights to compensation for your injuries.

If you have never been arrested or charged with a crime, there is no way your face is in a police database, right?

Think again. According to a new report released by Georgetown Law’s Center on Privacy and Technology, an astounding half of all American faces are in police databases.

If you have been charged with any type of federal crime, it’s important to speak to a Texas criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. These are complex cases that require the skill and experience of a knowledgeable federal criminal defense attorney.

Police Databases May Have Your Image

As reported by NPR, around 50 percent of Americans’ faces are on file in police databases around the country—regardless of whether they have ever been suspected of a crime. In some cases, police can even run searches of faces in real-time video surveillance footage.

How do the police obtain these images? Driver’s licenses, according to the co-author of the Georgetown Law Center report. He explained that an individual’s fingerprints are unlikely to end up in a police database unless the person has been arrested or charged with a crime. But in 26 states, simply going to the DMV and getting a driver’s license means your face automatically gets included in a criminal database. He went on to say that these systems have little transparency and no audits. Furthermore, the DMV is not required to disclose that it is turning your image over to the police or federal law enforcement agencies

Databases Yield Inaccurate Results

In an FBI study, the FBI ran sample tests in its own database and discovered that one out of every seven searches turned up between two and 50 innocent faces. The study also revealed that facial recognition software tends to make more mistakes in young faces, female faces, and African-American faces. Experts say the software’s algorithms are less accurate with darker skin tones, faces with makeup, and smoother faces—which means people in these demographics have a higher chance of being wrongfully identified as a suspect in a criminal case.

Texas is one of 26 states that cooperates with the FBI by submitting driver’s license photos to nationwide law enforcement databases.

Dallas, Texas, United States, 11/22/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

One of the most challenging parts in public relations (if you are a startup or a small business) is on how much money you are willing to spend in PR activities to encourage people to talk about your products or services. Since the budget in a PR is often limited, you have to find other alternative ways to create awareness about your brand. Fortunately, social media is easy to acquire and has been proven as a very effective PR tool if you are on a budget. In this blog post, I’ll enumerate a few ideas on how to make people talk about your brand in social media.

The Importance of People Talking About Your Brand in Social Media

Since social media is very popular and almost all those who have internet access often use it, the need to get your brand in the very center of where the action happens should be in your top priority. The good news is, in social media you can do PR activities within your budget. Because traditional PR is very costly, social media websites are now the best places to make people talk about your products or services.

When people talk about your brand in social media the probability of increasing its visibility is higher because anything that is hot and trending can always spark interest and discussion. It’s just like, when a social influencer talks about your brand and his followers talk about it as well, in no time, you’ll realize that your content can become viral and everyone starts talking about your brand.  And, you know that this kind of buzz can help you a lot in building your PR.

How to Encourage People to Talk about Your Brand in Social Media

Now, the important question is, how to encourage people to talk about your products or services in social media if you are not a well-known brand? This is probably quite challenging because you can’t force people to create a buzz about your business just by asking them. This is where a bit of strategy and understanding your target audience come in a handy.

1. Create a compelling and controversial content. Compelling in a way that it has the power to grab people’s attention and stick in their thoughts and prod them to talk about it to others. Controversial in a good way that it would encourage them to discuss about it for days. A good example is featuring current hot and controversial issues that are highly relevant to your target audience. If you are a SEO company, creating and publishing an Infographic that features studies that show how Fortune 500 businesses managed to earn billions through search engine optimization is definitely a winner.

2. Blog about a very famous person most of your target audience love. Have you ever asked why entertainment websites are quite popular? It’s because their main topics revolve around very famous celebrities most people love and idolized. Featuring a very famous SEO celebrity such as Matt Cutts and letting your target audience know the most surprising facts they haven’t known about him yet is a good example.

3. Start a social media contest and encourage influential users to join. This is quite popular and very effective as well. You can start by listing social media influencers whose interest are within your niche. You can start by tapping influential bloggers to join a contest that would measure their online popularity through total number of likes on Facebook. In the entire duration of the contest, people would surely talk about your brand and will become curious that even their favorite bloggers are patronizing the contest you organized.

4. Pioneer a social cause that is highly relevant to your brand. A social cause such as a campaign for “free internet everywhere” is highly regarded by many and would surely catch the interest of your target audience. Pioneering social causes is a way of reaching out to them and make a good impression. In your campaign, you should encourage social media users to use your official brand hashtag every time they mention about your cause.

5. Promote the use of your official brand hashtag. People won’t talk about your brand if you remain invisible. In social media, hashtags are very powerful features that would allow users to become more familiar with your brand’s name. For example, every time you share a status, a tweet, or a post, always make sure to include your official hashtag and encourage your existing customers to use it as well.

Encouraging people to talk about your brand is no easy task. It would take more effort and time and there’s no absolute formula to do it right the first time. The tips above are not direct solutions but just a few ideas on how you do public relations even with a very limited budget. Good luck!

Radio Legend Michael Benner Headlines Anniversary Show

Tony DUrso, the self-styled “Dream Business Maker” is celebrating an all-star cast of recent guests on his weekly podcast series, Revenue Chat. Taped over the past month, here is a preview of upcoming show guests and topics, beginning with a true radio airwaves legend, Michael Benner. Benner was the honorary guest of DUrso’s one-year anniversary special show.

Benner is Los Angeles radio royalty, hosting his own telephone talk show every Friday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. on KPFK (90.7-FM in Greater Los Angeles and 98.7-FM in Santa Barbara County for 15 years, plus KABC-AM and KLOS-FM for over a decade). In the business since 1977 throughout Southern California, Benner is the owner of Personal Development Strategies and strives to bring out the qualities of greatness and leadership in his own guests.

“What an honor it was to host Michael Benner on Revenue Chat,” said DUrso. “His programming is well known throughout the region as a positive and uplifting message on character building. It’s a subject this entire country should be focusing on now.”

Other featured guests in October, whose podcasts were released each Friday of this month, include Mike Saunders, president of Marketing Huddle, Matt Egelhoff, co-founder of Fire Breathing Penguin Media and Marty McDonald, co-founder and CEO of Bad Rhino. All of the recent Revenue Chat episodes have keyed in on relevant topical subjects such as cutting-edge sales tactics, growing businesses through mobile app reach and following the money on social media brand outreach campaigns.

Revenue Chat averages 5,000-10,000 podcast downloads each week and DUrso’s website adds another 100,000 unique visitors monthly. The show is available on iTunes, YouTube and there’s even a mobile app as well.
