A First Time For Everything: Pros Of Moving Into A New Apartment

Dallas, 11/18/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

The Brickyard Shares the Experience of Renting New

At first thought, some of the biggest benefits of moving to a new property may be living in a brand new space where everything from appliances to carpet are being used for the first time. But Billingsley Company’s new multifamily property, The Brickyard, is proving that new properties offer a renting experience that goes beyond new paint.

The excitement of moving into a new property has been likened to that of freshman year of college in a dorm – residents are open to meeting new people and forming new friendships, and everyone is taking this fresh, next step at the same time. The Brickyard is now moving in the first round of renters on the property. Among the benefits of living at a brand new property:

·       Living in a community where everyone is there for the first time builds a sense of community faster because everyone is new and experiencing the property together.

·       High volume of residents moving in on one weekend creates a bond in each specific building.

·       Because the property and amenities such as the pool, gym and clubroom are brand new, renters are exploring them together and taking pride in the space.

·       The Brickyard promotes regular gatherings and resident events, from pizza on moving day to brunch by the pool, all providing opportunities for residents to continue get to know their new neighbors.

“With every new property, we strive to give residents a unique and easy move-in experience,” says Sumner Billingsley, managing partner on The Brickyard project. “There is something so special about being the first person to live in a space, and we ensure they have opportunities to connect with others that are also experiencing this community for the first time.”

New residents at The Brickyard are not only offered a clean slate in a unit, but a community-centric property.

“The minute I stepped foot on the property, I knew this was home for me. What I like most and more specifically to The Brickyard is that because it is new, you get to watch the community evolve,” says LaVita Gill, a Brickyard resident. “It’s exciting to see new neighbors move in and know they get to experience the same thing I did on my first day here.”

Breaking in a new property with neighbors who are also new to the grounds allows for a unique community dynamic. With the holidays approaching, neighbors have an opportunity to share experiences and create “new” traditions in their very own community.

The Brickyard is the first phase of apartments and townhomes in Mercer Crossing, the newest multi-use Billingsley development, located at the crossroads of Interstate 35E, Interstate 635 and President George Bush Turnpike. The Brickyard is a blend of one- and two-bedroom apartments and townhomes that embody romantic industrial architecture with abundant use of brick, metal-framed windows and old-style painted signs on building walls. Residents have been moving into the community since May 2016.

Soulman’s Bar-B-Que Launches North Texas Franchise Initiative

Dallas, 11/17/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

Brett Randle, CEO of Soulman’s Bar-B-Que, has just announced the company will roll out the first phase of a national expansion plan for the treasured barbecue concept early next year. In the past decade, the 40-plus-year-old brand has seen booming growth in the 14 owner-operated locations throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. They will expand that opportunity to a limited number of franchisees within a 100-mile radius of DFW beginning in January 2017.

Randle said, “We have been preparing for this highly anticipated program for some time. Soulman’s Bar-B-Que is a unique brand that was created in 1974 by combining traditional family recipes and exceptional Texas-style barbecue. Our franchisees will not only be supported with great Soulman’s foods, but with outstanding leadership and field support along with the opportunity for potential growth. Collectively, our executive leadership has more than 100 years of experience that we will confidently use to propel our franchisees into success with our brand.”

To that end, Soulman’s is announcing the hiring of Randall McGee, a veteran operations management executive, to serve as the company’s Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Franchising. McGee comes with more than 20 years of experience conceptualizing, developing and implementing innovative and strategic solutions for franchise operations including Bob Evans Restaurants, Valvoline Instant Oil Change and SportsClips, Inc. Notably, McGee led and strengthened store performance for Long John Silver’s and A&W Restaurants with new programs in efficiency and functionality during his tenure as Senior Vice President of company and franchise operations at YUM Brands.

McGee believes that Soulman’s Bar-B-Que is ideally positioned for success for future franchisees who have a passion for the Soulman’s brand.

“We are seeking candidates who may have restaurant operation experience or franchisees of other brands. Prior food experience is helpful but not essential. Soulman’s offers a comprehensive training program for its franchisees. It is our goal as a franchisor to provide service and training to our franchise partners that exceeds industry standards. Our franchisees will have complete access to our systems and more than 100 years of combined barbecue and restaurant experience.”

Soulman’s Bar-B-Que will limit the number of opportunities centralized to North Texas. These locations, once approved by Soulman’s, can be a ground up building or possible second generation building that can be remodeled to Soulman’s design specifications.

In May of 2016, Soulman’s opened a pilot franchise at 1567 West Main St. in Lewisville, Texas, in a former Pizza Hut location. The conversion, opening and operations proved smooth and successful.

McGee added, “Historically, a good portion all of the Soulman’s locations have been second generation, as it is absolutely one of the most economic ways to maximize value in opening a new restaurant location. We are committed to the success of our franchisees, their individual businesses and ultimately the successful growth of the Soulman’s brand.”

RemoveSlander.com CEO Says Trump Election Could Mean More Mugshot Websites

New Orleans, La, United States, 11/17/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

On Wednesday following the epic election of Donald Trump RemoveSlander.com CEO released a statement regarding the Mugshot Industry, and the online publication of Public Records. In a statement CEO Tyronne Jacques said “Candidate Trump ran on a promise of less government regulations in every facet of industry, therefore the mugshot industry just like every other industry, could have free reign for the next 4 years.“

Mugshot Websites like many consumer protection sites exist under the protection of the communication Decency Act of 1996 which basically say sites like mugshot website, cannot face lawsuits for publishing public records or content posted by a 3rd party. This bill passed into law not only provided the pathway for the internet to flourish, but also for unwanted websites like those that post mugshots from local sheriffs Departments to continue the practice.

With the Election of Donald Trump (his hands off industry regulation mandate) the CEO of RemoveSlander.com saysthat he doesn’t see any adjustment to the Communications Decency Act even with a majority in Congress, and Republican President.

The Mugshot Problem

Over the past 4 year years several states like Texas, Florida, and Georgia have passed state laws in an attempt to either eliminate or ban mugshot websites from charging fees for mugshot removal, and to some degree that has altered how the sites do business.  Since many of the laws have gone into effect, the mugshot websites have complied, but also have retaliated by providing no options to have a mugshot photos removed from their website.

RemoveSlander.com says that is where many of their clients find themselves permanently trapped on mugshot websites like Whopostedbail.org, for arrests that were either dismissed or expunged. Spokesperson for RemoveSlander.com went on to say that the mugshot websites are no obligated to remove a public record for free – because the actual arrest took place – regardless of the outcome of the case.

“When a person is arrested they’re subjected to a booking process that includes finger printing, and taking a mugshot photo. Regardless of the outcome of that case – a mugshot website like WhoPostedBail.org has the right to publish that mugshot photo under the protection of Transparency Laws. President Elect Trump has said on many occasions that it is not the role of Government to interfere with industry – and unfortunately the mugshot publication business has become a full fledge industry.”

The Solution To Mugshot Industry

Spokesperson for RemoveSlander.com went on to say that the core of the problem in States like Florida and Texas is the mass online publication of mugshot photos and how easily those booking photos can appear in search engines like Google Yahoo and Bing. Several of those sights have agreed to remove the photos for clients of RemoveSlander.com at no charge, but larger more costly mugshot websites like Mugshot.com still require a removal fee.

RemoveSlander.com 3 Ways To Remove A Mushot For Free!

Listed below are three possible ways arrested individuals can get their mugshots removed for free or prevent their mugshot photos from appearing in Google.

1. Contact the arresting Sheriff Department and ask them to block your mugshot on their website from ‘Public View’ for safety reasons. Many of the mughot websites like Arrests.org has an active policy of publishing the arrested person’s home address, and in some cases the Google street view of their home.

2. Email the mugshot website directly and ask them for a courtesy mugshot removal for professional or personal reasons. With State Laws preventing payment for mugshot removal, there is no longer the financial incentive to keep the mugshot photos on their servers other than low profit ad impressions. If approached correctly  a few of the website owners will honor those requests – but if the person threatens to sue mugshot website then forget about the photo coming down.

3. Perhaps the best way says RemoveSlander.com to remove a mugshot from a site like WhoPostedBail.org is to have the arrest the resulted in the mugshot photo expunged. Expungements act as a Court Order, and remains the best weapon for a company like RemoveSlander.com if the mugshot websites still refuses to delete the photo. Not only does expungement of record help with the existing mugshot problems but can also help in preventing future mugshot websites from republishing the same booking photos and details of that arrest.

“The mugshot business is here to stay” spokesperson for removeslander.com went on to say “but if you’re diligent and urgently address the problem, there is hope at the end of the mugshot website nightmare.”

About Mugshot Websites

According to RemoveSlander.com, they received their first request for mugshot removal service in 2010, since then they have witnessed hundreds mugshot websites come and go. A few of the sites that have remained active in publishing mugshots since 2011 are Mugshots.com, Arrest.org, Arrests.files.org, and WhoPostedBail.org. The only mugshot that still accepts payments directly on their website is Mugshots.com and according to RemoveSlander.com very few request for free mugshot removal are honored.

In 2013 The New York Times with the assistance of RemoveSlander.com published an investigative report on the Mugshot Website Industry – that was instrumental in several reforms within the industry – and caused Google to black list mugshot websites thus banning them from participation in their ad revenue platform Adsense. Despite losing a major revenue source like Google Adsense (which paid the website owners on a pay per ad clicked commission) the mugshot websites still managed to generate revenue from removal cost and other ad platforms.

About RemoveSlander.com

Since 2010 RemoveSlander.com has helped clients remove everything from Cyber Bully Attacks to the publication of humiliation photos like Mugshot Websites. Based out of New Orleans Louisiana, all of RemoveSlander.com incoming phone calls are always answered by in house staff, and their clients information is never sold to 3rd party marketers. RemoveSlander.com retainer costs are flat rate and backed with a money bank guarantee, therefore there is zero incentive to resale their clients information.

Dallas Criminal Immigration Attorney Weighs in on Trump Presidency

Dallas, TX, USA, 11/17/2016 /SubmitPressRelease123/

If you or a loved one has been charged with illegal reentry into the United States after a prior deportation, you are probably wondering what Donald Trump’s election as President will mean for the sentence you or your loved one could receive if there is a conviction says John Helms Dallas criminal immigration attorney. After all, a key part of Mr. Trump’s campaign has been hostility to those who come to the United States illegally. Does Mr. Trump’s hostility mean that people convicted of illegal reentry will be punished more harshly than before?

I believe that the answer is, “no.” To be clear, I am only talking about the punishment someone convicted of illegal reentry will receive. It is certainly possible that a Trump Justice Department will make prosecutions for illegal reentry a higher priority, meaning that some cases that would have only resulted in a deportation in the past will now also be prosecuted criminally. But as far as the criminal PUNISHMENT that someone would receive, I think it will stay about the same, believes criminal and immigration lawyer Helms.

The reason is that the one thing that most affects the harshness or leniency of punishment for illegal reentry cases is the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, and it is unlikely that President Trump would affect them. The Guidelines are a set of standards that apply to every federal criminal case in the United States. They are designed to give federal judges guidance about the range of punishment, in months, that should apply for a given crime committed by a person with a given criminal record. The idea of the Guidelines is to try to make sure that federal judges across the country give similar sentences in similar situations. Federal judges are not strictly required to follow them, but they usually do.

The United States Sentencing Commission is in charge of studying and modifying the Guidelines. The Sentencing Commission’s members are experts in all areas of criminal law and are appointed for six-year terms. The Sentencing Commission studies trends in crime and sentencing in order to make adjustments to the Guidelines.

The Sentencing Commission has extensively studied illegal reentry over the years and has amended the illegal reentry Guidelines many times to take into account needed changes. For the most part, over the last 15 years, the amendments have reduced the punishments for those without extensive criminal records. This responded to the feeling among many federal judges that the past Guidelines requires unnecessarily long sentences for those who were not dangerous criminals.

Because the Sentencing Commission has carefully studied illegal reentry and made so many adjustments in recent years (including a new set of changes that just took effect), it is very unlikely that there will be any push to overhaul them any time soon. Essentially, the Guidelines have been improved gradually over time and do not need an overhaul.

Even if President Trump wanted to make illegal reentry punishments harsher, he would have a hard time doing it. The Sentencing Commission and federal judges across the country have dealt with and studied illegal reentry sentencing for many years now, and I believe there is a general consensus that the Guidelines are getting it right.

Finally, federal judges are the ones who decide what a sentence will be. They are appointed for life and are therefore largely unaffected by the way that political winds blow. Although President Trump will be appointing some federal judges to fill vacancies or to replace those who retire or die, the turnover is relatively small, and it takes a long time for appointments to have a substantial effect. And because new judges would look first to the Sentencing Guidelines for guidance in a particular case, and as an experienced immigration defense lawyer I do not foresee major changes in illegal reentry sentencing, even from newly appointed judges.

Again, President Trump may try to increase enforcement of the immigration laws by trying to deport more people or by prosecuting more people for illegal reentry who would have simply been deported in the past, but I do not believe that the typical punishment for an illegal reentry conviction will be significantly changed.

Illegal reentry is a serious crime, and it can have serious consequences—not just to the accused, but also to the family and loved ones of the accused. It is critical that anyone accused of illegal reentry have an attorney who is skilled and experienced with illegal reentry cases. My experience handling illegal reentry cases, both as a federal prosecutor and as immigration defense lawyer shows that effective counsel can make a huge difference in the outcome of a case.

If you, a family member or someone you know has been charged with illegal reentry in the Dallas area, contact Dallas criminal immigration attorney John Helms at (214) 666-8010 or fill out the online contact form. You can discuss your case, how the law may apply and your best legal options to protect your rights and freedom.

About Risk Based Security

Risk Based Security (RBS) provides detailed information and analysis on Data Breaches and Vulnerability Intelligence. Our products, Cyber Risk Analytics (CRA) and VulnDB, provide organizations access to the most comprehensive threat intelligence knowledge bases available, including advanced search capabilities, access to raw data via API, and email alerting to assist organizations in taking the right actions in a timely manner.

VulnDB is the most comprehensive and timely vulnerability intelligence available and provides actionable information about the latest in security vulnerabilities via an easy-to-use SaaS Portal, or a RESTful API that allows easy integration into GRC tools and ticketing systems. VulnDB allows organizations to search and be alerted on the latest vulnerabilities, both in end-user software and the third-party libraries or dependencies that help build applications. A subscription to VulnDB provides organizations with simple to understand ratings and metrics on their vendors and products, and how each contributes to the organization’s risk-profile and cost of ownership.

Cyber Risk Analytics (CRA) provides actionable threat intelligence about organizations that have had a data breach or leaked credentials. This enables organizations to reduce exposure to the threats most likely to impact them and their vendor base. In addition, our PreBreach rating, the result of a deep-view into the metrics driving cyber exposures, can be used to better understand the digital hygiene of an organization and the likelihood of a future data breach. The integration of PreBreach ratings into security processes, vendor management programs, cyber insurance processes and risk management tools allows organizations to avoid costly risk assessments, while enabling businesses to understand its risk posture, act quickly and appropriately to proactively protect its most critical information assets.
