Home › Utah DUI Attorney › Arrested for Utah DUI!
So you have been arrested for a DUI in Utah. You are embarrassed, mad, depressed, and wondering what happens next. This is an overview of the what the process when you are arrested for a DUI in Utah.
Arraignment: The Court schedules an initial appearance. This is a gray area. Sometimes you need to call the Court to find out when you need to show up. Sometimes a court date is set up by the time you get released from jail. Sometimes, you just show up on certain days. It is advisable to talk to a lawyer before this hearing so the lawyer can advise you how to proceed. Many times if you hire a lawyer before this first hearing, the lawyer will cancel this hearing by entering his appearance with a document, enter your plea of not guilty with a document, and request that the case be set for the next hearing.
Pretrial Conference: The next step is a pretrial conference. This is a meeting with the prosecutor to discuss a possible resolution or plea bargain. If the prosecutor does not make an offer that the citizen can live with, then the case is set for further proceedings. Many times, the case is resolved at this point.
Suppression Hearings: Many times a lawyer will file a motion to suppress evidence at this point. If the lawyer feels there is a legal reason that some evidence (i.e. the breath test result, certain statements, etc.) should not be heard by the jury, he files a motion to suppress that information. Usually, there is a hearing and testimony of witnesses can be taken. The Court rules on those motions at the hearing, or he thinks about and takes under advisement issuing a decision at a later date.
Trial: If there has been no resolution, the case will be heard at a trial. In Utah, for a DUI, a person has the right to a jury trial or to have the trial heard before the bench, which means the judge. I almost always request a jury. In Utah, for a Class B Misdemeanor DUI, four jurors are selected to hear the case.
Not Guilty: If you are found Not Guilty, the case is over.
Sentencing: If you are found Guilty of DUI, then you are sentenced. Sometimes it will be the day of trial, but you have a right not to be sentenced in less than two days, and not more than 45 days. I believe the idea of this is a cooling off period and sometimes the court requests information to determine the proper sentence.
Appeal: If you are in a justice court, you have a right to a whole new trial in the District Court. If you are already in the District Court, you have a right to appeal to an appellate court, which is done in writing, not by another trial.
These are common questions that many Utah DUI clients ask me when they are arrested about the procedure. It is important to hire the right attorney as early as possible in the process so the attorney can prepare the case as soon as possible. It is very difficult in calendaring and in preparation when the attorney gets hired half way through the process.


Why Dentist Recommended Teeth Whitening in Wayne, NJ?
Not everyone is blessed with healthy and white teeth that are shiny and dazzling at the same time. The people who possess them are capable of hypnotizing people with their pearly whites. But what about the people who do not possess those shiny white pearly whites have to live with the embarrassment of covering their mouth whenever they in social circles with our palms because we cannot put on display our teeth that have been stained and been discolored.
There is no denial in the fact that having whiter teeth is so significant these days. The whiter our teeth are, the better enhanced our confidence and esteem is. The confidence to face the world rises more and more as soon as we get our teeth whitened.
Teeth can be discolored and stained due to various reasons. People who drink coffee, wine, carbonated drinks, and alcohol regularly, or even smoke regularly, have more chances of getting their teeth stained as compared to those who do not. These drinks and other food items can potentially cause visible and embarrassing stains. But with the help of the teeth whitening treatment at our clinic, you can easily and surely get rid of those stains.
The dental health of a person and the whiteness of their teeth are directly proportional. Once a person starts maintaining their dental health by taking good care of their teeth, their dental aesthetics, and by regularly brushing, flossing and visiting the dentists for regular check-ups, the whiteness level of their teeth rises at the same time. In fact, maintaining a good dental hygiene is one of the most motivational factors for getting your teeth whitened. Similarly, the other way around, if you get our revolutionary teeth whitening treatment from our clinic in Wayne, you will sooner or later realize the importance of maintaining your dental health.

Artell: "Carlisle Have Edged It Twice Against Us"
David Artell believes that his Crewe Alexandra side have been unlucky to have been on the receiving end of two 1-0 defeats to Carlisle United this season. The Cumbrians defeated us 1-0 at their Brunton Park home back in late August and they also knocked us out of the FA Cup in November when Ben Garratt's last minute clearance struck Jamie Devitt and deflected in for the only goal at Gresty Road.
Crewe have a third meeting with Carlisle this evening albeit with the visitors having a new manager in the dugout after Steven Pressley recently replaced the Chesterfield-bound John Sheridan.
Ahead of tonight's fixture, David told us: "I think it is two good teams and they it edged it twice in the previous games. There hasn't been an awful lot between the two teams and we have done okay.
"The game will be another difficult game and probably a different one. They are on a good run and their tails will be up but so are we.
"It should be a good football game and it is another chance for us to make that step into the top half of the table.

"Serengeti shall not die" is the title of Bernhard and Michael Grzimek's academy award-winning 1959 documentary. And it is our goal and vision to this day. The Serengeti remains at the core of our conservation work in Africa.
We are continuing our engagement in close collaboration with Tanzania National Parks and provide critical financial and logistical support and know-how for resource protection, ecological and threat monitoring and park management to the Serengeti National Park.
The Serengeti ecosystem is a world-renowned natural landscape. The Great Migration of the wildebeest, zebras and Thomson's gazelles is the largest ungulate migration on earth. With resilient populations of predators and iconic wildlife such as elephants, giraffes and rhinos, the Serengeti National Park is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
To help ensure effective long-term protection of elephants, rhinos and other wildlife, we support the Park authorities in coordinating anti-poaching and monitoring activities and in improving intelligence gathering capability to counter wildlife crime. We engage with stakeholders to secure sustainable funding for a de-snaring programme. And we support the management of the adjacent Maswa Game Reserve.
Ever since Bernhard and Michael Grzimek set out to count the wildebeest of the Serengeti, zebra-striped aircraft have become a trademark of our conservation work. Aerial support to the Serengeti National Park includes a dedicated spotter plane, an Aviat Husky, which is used for regular aerial patrols with the park wardens, and a Cessna 182 for logistical support.
Our workshop maintains the Serengeti National Park's anti-poaching car fleet, as mobility is key to deploying ranger patrols throughout the park. Keeping service time down, and the patrols out in the field is an essential contribution to protecting the ecosystem. The workshop also assists the park with improvements and maintenance of the extensive digital radio system.
As in many other areas in Africa, the Black Rhino was almost poached to extinction in Serengeti in the 1990s. Because rigid protection measures were put in place, the population of this endangered species grew again. We continue to support monitoring and protection of the Serengeti rhinos as the poaching threat persists. We provide training, equipment, logistical support and vehicle maintenance to a specialised ranger unit.
Empowering the local communities is a key component of our conservation strategy. The Serengeti Conservation Project works hand-in-hand with our community projectSerengeti Ecosystem Management.

Five charged with child abuse after 11 emaciated children found in trailer
Posted 11:40 am, August 6, 2018, by Tribune Media Wire, Updated at 11:15AM, August 6, 2018
TAOS COUNTY, N.M. – The message, forwarded by a detective in another state 1,500 miles away to the Taos County Sheriff's Office in New Mexico, was to the point: "We are starving and need food and water," it said in part.
It came, apparently, from someone inside a makeshift compound hidden in Taos County, and made its way to the sheriff's office through someone else who received it and got it to law enforcement in Georgia.
It was enough to trigger a raid Friday by Taos County sheriff's deputies who discovered a "filthy" trailer hidden underground beneath plastic sheets. Inside were 11 emaciated children ranging in age from 1 to 15, along with three women who authorities believe are the children's mothers, Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said.
Two heavily armed men, identified by authorities as Lucas Morten and Siraj Wahhaj, were arrested at the scene. They and the three women all face 11 counts of child abuse.
Wahhaj, 39, was wanted for the abduction of his 3-year-old son Abdul Ghani Wahhaj in Georgia, authorities said. However, the boy was not at the compound when police executed a search warrant there. The Sheriff's Office said Abdul Ghani was due turn 4 on August 6.
'Saddest living conditions'
"The only food we saw were a few potatoes and a box of rice," Hogrefe said after the police operation at the compound.
"But what was most surprising and heartbreaking was when the team located a total of five adults and 11 children that looked like third-world country refugees not only with no food or fresh water, but with no shoes, personal hygiene and basically dirty rags for clothing."
The children were taken into protective custody and later turned over to the New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department.
"We all gave the kids our water and what snacks we had — it was the saddest living conditions and poverty I have seen," Hogrefe said.
Amid the many questions swirling for authorities about the children, the adults and the situation, one looms over all the others: Why?
The raid
Eight members of the TCSO's Sheriff's Response Team and four members of the State OSI unit were involved in executing the search warrant on the compound Friday, Hogrefe said.
"The 'all day' operation went without major incident or any injuries, but when encountered both men initially refused to follow verbal direction and Wahhaj who was held up inside the compound was heavily armed with an AR15 rifle, five loaded 30 round magazines, and four loaded pistols, including one in his pocket when he was taken down," Hogrefe said.
Police arrested both men. Wahhaj was booked with no bond because of a warrant related to his missing son, while Morten was charged with harboring a fugitive.
Abuse charges
In a release Sunday, the Taos County Sheriff's Office said investigations had continued over the weekend. It said Hogrefe had sworn "an affidavit for arrest warrants charging 11 counts of child abuse for all five adults related to the neglect and abuse of the children involved. Each count is a third-degree felony."
The office said Morten and Wahhaj had been charged while at the Taos Adult Detention Center. It was not immediately clear either had attorneys. They have not yet made their first appearances in court.
The Sheriff's Office named the three females as Jany Leveille (35), Hujrah Wahhaj (38), and Subhannah Wahhaj (35). "All were arrested without incident in Taos and were later booked in the Taos Adult Detention Center," it said.
"I believed this would most likely be the path that we would take and stand by my original decision to bring charges after CYFD investigators had an opportunity to conduct their independent investigation, which included interviews and obtaining information such as health and medical needs of the children from the three mothers," the statement quoted Hogrefe as saying.
2-Month investigation
The search warrant executed Friday followed a two-month investigation with Clayton County, Georgia, investigators and the FBI into the whereabouts of Wahhaj's son, Hogrefe said.
The Sheriff said the FBI had "recently provided information and surveillance on this location, but they (FBI) didn't feel there was enough probable cause to get on the property."
After seeing the message apparently sent from someone at the compound asking for food and water, Hogrefe said he felt he needed to act.
"… it had to be a search warrant and a tactical approach for our own safety because we had learned the occupants were most likely heavily armed and considered extremist of the Muslim belief," he said.
In the affidavit for the warrant, the sheriff said that he reasonably believed Wahhaj and his son were inside the compound along with Morten. Police later said that the missing child was not found at the scene.
Missing child
None of the adults would give a statement as to the boy's whereabouts, Hogrefe said after the raid, but "it was reasonably believed he was there a few weeks ago."
According to CNN affiliate WGCL-TV, Abdul-Ghani's mother reported him missing on December 17, saying that she had last seen her son December 1, as he left to go to the park with his father.
No criminal charges were filed as there was no custody issue, WGCL-TV said.
The father and son were last seen together December 13 after the vehicle they were in was involved in an accident in Alabama, WGCL-TV reported. The station said the vehicle was registered to Morten and that according to policed five additional children and two adults were traveling with Wahhaj and his son.
Alabama police said they were told the group were going camping in New Mexico, the station said.

Arthur Kill Road
This tag is associated with 3 posts
Scouring the "South Pole" of New York
Posted by Will Ellis ⋅ 1-24-17. ⋅ 9 Comments
Rotted pilings beneath Outerbridge Crossing, with views of Perth Amboy, NJ.
From St. George, ride the Staten Island Railroad to the end of the line and you're only a short walk from the southernmost point in New York State, at the mouth of the Arthur Kill. The name of the waterway stirs the imagination, but its Dutch origins are benign. Achter kill means back river or channel, in reference to its location at the "back" of Staten Island. Intriguingly, the route was carved out by an ancestral iteration of the Hudson River. Glacial activity altered the course to its current position, but the vestigial strait remained, isolating a sneaker-shaped land mass. Staten Island was born.
The Conference House
A stone's throw from the so-called "south pole" of New York State, there's an impressive bit of Revolutionary War history known as The Conference House. The name refers to a peace conference held there on September 11, 1776 between British commander Lord Howe and representatives of the Continental Congress, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams among them. Over the course of the three hour meeting, Howe urged the men to put aside their little rebellion. (They declined to do so.)
True to its contrarian nature even in revolutionary times, the borough was a loyalist stronghold, warmly greeting British troops upon their arrival. Hundreds of islanders enlisted in the British army as the conflict escalated. George Washington himself called the Staten Islanders "our most inveterate enemies." John Adams was less generous, labeling them "an ignorant, cowardly pack of scoundrels, whose numbers are small, and their spirit less."
Low tide in the Arthur Kill reveals the remains of wooden ships.
The borough is home to several lesser-known "boat graveyards" in addition to the famous Rossville salvage yard.
Tracing the Arthur Kill past the quaint historic houses of Tottenville, we enter into wilder territory and arrive at the base of Outerbridge Crossing, which spans the Arthur Kill between Charleston, SI and Perth Amboy, NJ. New Yorkers could be forgiven for assuming the name refers to its status as the most remote bridge in New York City, but it's actually named for Eugenius Harvey Outerbridge, the first chairman of the Port Authority of New York and a resident of the borough. "Outerbridge Bridge" wouldn't do, so they deemed it a "Crossing."
Wandering these regions can be treacherous if you don't plan ahead. As the tide ebbs and flows, open shoreline gives way to mud and water, leaving you with no way out but the head-high reeds of the marsh. In nesting season, geese are liable to attack (speaking from experience here). But for those willing to brave the wilderness, there are rewards. The fabric of the city dissolves on the outermost edges of Staten Island, and the ground is a layer cake of archaeological finds.
The remains of the Atlantic Terra Cotta Company factory line the shores of the Arthur Kill at the end of Ellis Street.
One area of interest at the foot of Ellis Street marks the site of The Atlantic Terra Cotta Company, which made colorful architectural ornaments for many notable city buildings, including the Flatiron and the Woolworth. It closed down in the 1940s and was demolished soon after, but much of the old factory is still there in the form of rubble. Enterprising beachcombers can still find Atlantic Terra Cotta tiles if they hunt long enough. (The old adage "leave no stone unturned" applies here, as many of the most intricate pieces are one-sided.) I managed to find a beautiful acorn-themed tile with an ATLANTIC stamp, but plain bricks were more readily available.
Many of them are inscribed with the names of long-gone manufacturers, resembling fragments of time-worn tombstones. Thanks to these markings and a devoted online community of brick collectors, it's a simple matter to pinpoint their origins. The "RICHMOND" and "ATLANTIC" bricks were made in Staten Island, but others trace their ancestry to Brooklyn or New Jersey. Some are from much farther afield—"RELIANCE" Bricks hail from Texas; "MO REX" from a town called Mexico, Missouri. How all of them ended up here is a bit of a masonry mystery.
Manufacturer's marks on the bricks point to a wide range of origins.
Just inland, marshes give way to roving woodlands that hold secrets of their own. If you look into any patch of untended forest, and many of the front yards, you'll find a wealth of rusty relics of the one man's treasure variety. While there isn't much history to glean from them, they are fascinating to look at. A natural area known as Sharrot's Shoreline was once filled with mountains of scrap metal and scores of abandoned cars. Only a few remain today after cleanup efforts by the city. What's left is a serene nature reserve that would thrill most bird-watchers, though they might have a hard time finding a way in.
Nearby, a deserted graveyard of auto parts marked one of my most surprising finds to date. Chief among the relics was a group of corroded buses, apparently from the 1960's. While the scene has an ancient air, the plot was the site of a multi-generational family business until quite recently, according to a neighbor who gave me a stern warning for trespassing on private property. (For that reason, I wouldn't advise seeking them out for yourself.)
This has been the second installment of a series of posts on the edges of Staten Island. Next up, we'll continue our trip down Arthur Kill Road, delving deeper into the history of Charleston and the "haunted" Kreischer Mansion. See more photos from the project here.

Ghosts of Kreischerville
Posted by Will Ellis ⋅ 1-9-17. ⋅ 7 Comments
Kreischer Mansion
At Kreischer Street, Arthur Kill Road verges sharply right and branches into a tangle of dead-ends, hemmed in by woods and wetlands. The route winds into the heart of Charleston, Staten Island, a sensible industrial district given to sudden flights of fancy. Out here, stables and shooting ranges rub elbows with haunted mansions and sunken ships. It's equal parts Wild West and Gothic Horror.
In this corner of the borough, street names and gravestones echo with the same few family names, but one name—Kreischer—rises above the rest. It's written on the very building blocks of the oldest structures, etched into the walls of the local tavern and stamped into the sidewalks. Because the town was built of Kreisher bricks, by Kreischer bricks, and for Kreischer bricks. And before it was Charleston, it was Kreischerville.
The Kreischer Fire-Brick Works, pictured in the late 19th century.
Born in a small Bavarian village, Balthasar Kreischer emigrated to New York City in 1836, a year after a great fire destroyed much of Lower Manhattan. He quickly found employment rebuilding the burned district, taking a special interest in the construction of baker's ovens. With a business partner he opened a brick works on the Lower East Side in 1845. His fire-proof bricks were made to withstand high temperatures in chimneys and furnaces, and required a specific type of raw material known as "fire clay." Following the discovery of rich clay deposits in southwest Staten Island in the 1850s, he relocated his business to be close to the source.
The new location was a secluded section of the borough called Androvetteville, after a prominent local family. Balthasar bought up the clay pits and the waterfront on which to build his factory, and within a few decades the sleepy community of oystermen and mariners grew into an industrial boomtown, producing 20,000 bricks a day. As the brick works prospered, the neighborhood came to be known as Kreischerville.
A row of worker's houses sits frozen in time on Kreischer Street
Kreischer took a paternalistic approach to leadership, providing housing for his workers and monetary aid during periods of sickness or financial distress. In return, he expected his employees to maintain appearances, keeping their yards and houses tidy for the benefit of all. Four of the original worker's houses are still standing today, designated New York City landmarks in 1994. Some appear to be unoccupied, with rusted out cars from a bygone era parked in the driveway. The scene is startlingly out of step with the present, right down to the sidewalks. (They were paved with Kreischer bricks over a century ago.)
Kreischer retired in 1878, ceding control of the company to his three sons. Edward and Charles stayed in Staten Island and a third brother took the helm of the company's headquarters in Manhattan. Shortly before his death in 1886, Balthasar gifted the town a new church edifice, which is still in existence, and commissioned a pair of mirror-image Victorian mansions on a hilltop overlooking the factory, intended as residences for Charles and Edward. Only Charles' house remains today—a fire claimed Edward's in the 1930s.
The church was a gift to the community from Balthasar before his death.
Edward himself met a tragic end in 1894, when he was found dead not far from the factory of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Publicly, his brother George was at a loss for what had led to Edward's decision. But friends of the deceased told a different story, pointing to friction between the two brothers. After Balthasar's death, the business was divided equally between his five children, but Charles had moved quickly to acquire a controlling stake in the company by purchasing the interest of his two sisters.
Diminishing returns at Kreischer and Sons may have been another factor. The factory was sold in foreclosure in 1899 and closed in 1906. (Many workers found employment at the nearby Atlantic Terra Cotta Works, outlined in a previous post.) As time wore on, "Kreischerville" was renamed "Charleston" in response to anti-German sentiment during World War I. Nature gradually reclaimed the old clay quarries, transforming them into small ponds which became the namesake of Clay Pit Ponds State Park. Meanwhile, Kreischer House stood watch on Kreischer Hill, becoming a New York City landmark in 1968.
Only one Kreischer Mansion is extant today. Edward's (on the left) was destroyed by fire.
As the building aged and a gulf of time distanced Edward's untimely end, the house gradually ripened into the "haunted mansion" it was always destined to be. But it wasn't until 2005 that its status was cemented into the public consciousness. That year, Kreischer Mansion gained notoriety as the setting of a real-life horror story—a gruesome mob murder perpetrated by none other than the house's caretaker.
The man was paid $8000 to carry out a Sopranos-style hit of a Bannano crime family associate who'd run afoul of the group. The New York Times reported the grisly details in 2006: "The victim was lured to a secluded landmark, a Victorian mansion on a hilltop on Staten Island, but he proved hard to kill. When an effort to strangle him failed, he was stabbed, then dragged to a nearby pond and drowned. His body was dismembered with hacksaws and incinerated in the mansion's furnace."
The drowning actually occurred not in a pond, but in a small reflecting pool in front of the mansion, lined with yellow Kreischer bricks.
Unaware of the incident, the estate's owner moved forward with renovations that were already underway at the time of the murder. By the time the F.B.I. got wind of the killing and moved to search the mansion for evidence, the furnace had been replaced. The Ohio-based developer had planned to build a community for the elderly called "Kreischerville" with the mansion as its centerpiece. But the plans were scrapped in 2012 and the property was put on the market for $11.5 million, with the house accounting for $1.6 million of the overall value. The 5-acre property is currently back on the market for $12 million.
For now, the house sits empty as ghost stories swirl around it, concentrating on Edward's grieving widow, despite the fact that she never actually lived in the house. There are signs that the mansion is starting to embrace its reputation. In 2015, it opened its doors on Halloween night for an interactive theater piece. Last year, the house closed out the first season of a ghost hunting show called "Paranormal Lockdown". The claims are dubious, but ultimately harmless. After all, a sordid history is a remembered history. Kreischer Mansion may stand for another hundred years, or longer, as one of Staten Island's most compelling links to its 19th century past.

Approaching the "Forgotten Borough"
Posted by Will Ellis ⋅ 1-2-17. ⋅ 10 Comments
Seagulls follow in the wake of the Staten Island Ferry.
Hello friends, its been a while. I've been on a bit of a hiatus from poking around abandoned buildings, but I'm back now with something a little different. This is the first installment of a series on Staten Island—an area of the city that tends to go unnoticed, but is very much worth exploring.
For the unfamiliar, Staten Island stands with Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens as one of the five boroughs that make up the city of New York. It is the third largest and least populated of the five. Its identity has always been somewhat distinct from the city at large, due in part to its geographical isolation. Prior to the construction of the Verrazano Bridge in 1964, no crossing existed between Staten Island and any other borough. It remains something of an outlier today, with a suburban nature and right-leaning political tilt. A record of neglect from city government has earned it the oft-repeated title "the forgotten borough," and the name has stuck.
The Staten Island Ferry departs from Lower Manhattan.
From a Manhattan-centric point of view, a trip to Staten Island begins with a ride on the Staten Island Ferry. Over 21 million passengers embark on the 25-minute journey from Lower Manhattan to St. George each year. With dramatic views of the Statue of Liberty and the surrounding harbor, it's a well-known attraction for New York City tourists. The ride is offered free of charge by the city's Department of Transportation, but that hasn't always been the case.
An engraving of the 1871 "Westfield" disaster.
Back in the 18th century, sailboats manned by private individuals competed for fares between Manhattan and Staten Island. In 1817, the first mechanically powered ferry service went into operation, under the direction of Captain John de Forest of the Richmond Turnpike Company. His brother-in-law Cornelius Vanderbilt took over in 1838. Existing ferry service proved inadequate as Staten Island developed, and accidents were common.
In 1871, a boiler explosion on one of the ferries claimed the lives of more than 85 passengers. Jacob Vanderbilt, the president of the Staten Island Railway at the time, was charged with murder, but never convicted. In 1901, a ferry operated by the Staten Island Rapid Transit Company collided with a Jersey Central ferry and sank into the harbor soon after departing the port at Whitehall. Though the disaster was far less deadly than the 1871 episode, city authorities used it as justification to seize control of the service by 1905.
The iconic orange color of the ferries was adopted in 1926, to increase their visibility in heavy fog and snow.
Leaving Manhattan.
A nickel fare was the rule through most of the 20th century, but was increased in 1975 to a quarter, and in 1990 to 50 cents, causing an uproar among borough residents. Coupled with mounting grievances over the Fresh Kills Landfill on the island's west shore, the fare hike gave rise to a secession movement, which culminated in the passage of a non-binding referendum to make Staten Island an independent city in 1993.
Efforts to secede were subdued by the election of Mayor Rudy Guiliani, who rode to power due in part to overwhelming support from Staten Island voters, many of whom had been won over by his promises to close the landfill and do away with the fare. He followed through on both, abolishing the fare in 1997 and closing the landfill in 2001.
The Verrazano Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world at the time it was built.
While the ferry has played a significant role in the history of Staten Island, the construction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge has arguably had the greatest impact on its development. The story of Staten Island can generally be understood in terms of two epochs—before and after November 21, 1964, the day the bridge first opened to traffic.
Long-time residents speak longingly of Staten Island before the bridge—when country roads meandered through sweeping forests, quiet beach communities, and open expanses of farmland crawling with nanny goats. In the 19th century, full-time islanders lived side by side with some of the city's wealthiest residents. As the industrialized city minted new millionaires, many of them looked to the rolling green hills of Staten Island as a scenic escape.
The nature of the borough was permanently altered as the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge prompted a mass migration of newcomers from overpopulated Brooklyn. The influx covered farms and forests with mile upon mile of tract housing, plaguing the island with traffic problems that persist to this day.
The official name of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge includes a misspelling of its namesake, Florentine explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano.
As much as the borough has transformed over the years, it has retained its essential otherness. Crossing the harbor by ferry or bridge signals a psychological detachment from the urban environment of New York as we know it. In the hum of traffic, or the roar of surf, the city melts away and you enter a new frontier. Beyond and in-between the strip malls and cookie-cutter houses, scattered remnants of an older, more pastoral Staten Island await. There, Times Square feels a million miles away.
Over a series of upcoming posts, I'll be examining the many artifacts and oddities that litter the far-flung edges of the borough, and sharing the history behind them. In the meantime, you can visit my website to see more photos from the project, "Arthur Kill Road."

They also exist all along the Pacific Coast and are found on the Hawaiian Islands (Fig. They move faster than Norway rats and are very agile climbers, which enables them to quickly escape predators. Roof rats are prodigious breeders. Other rodenticides. Tracking powders are used much less often for roof rats than for Norway rats because roof rats frequent overhead areas within buildings. They may live in trees, such as palm, or in attics, and climb down to a food source. These tactics have been ruled fraudulent by the FTC, and they DO NOT WORK. The Norway rat is also called brown rat, house rat, sewer rat, and wharf rat.
Nests inside and under buildings, or in piles of rubbish or wood. Only construction grade materials are used. Rats contaminating food or food preparation surfaces can transmit food poisoning. A rat does not want to be exposed to danger outside for very long! If you think you can just seal shut the entry holes into the house during the daylight when they are outside, that is incorrect. Rats can also transmit rat bite fever through bacteria in their mouth. For professional rat control services from the rat control officers at rat removal experts, please contact your local rat removal experts office by calling. It is best to contact pest management professionals for an inspection and evaluation. Unless the suitability of the rat's habitat is destroyed by modifying the landscaping, improving sanitation, and rat-proofing, control methods must be unrelenting if they are to be effective.
The older rodenticides, formerly referred to as acute toxicants, such as arsenic, phosphorus, red squill, and ANTU, are either no longer registered or of little importance in rat control. METHOD OF CONTROL: First of all, mothballs or ammonia won't make them leave, nor will ultrasonic sound emitters or strobe lights. Rat removal expert's rat control technicians are properly trained in how to get rid of rats and the elimination of rat problems using a variety of rat control techniques. Rub Marks As rats move from one location to another, they stay close to vertical surfaces in their environment that they use to assist in their nightly navigation. A preferred categorization would be "anticoagulants" and "non-anticoagulants" or "other rodenticides. If you think that you might have rats on your property or inside your home then call for a Rat Exterminator rat control expert or contact us online to set up an appointment. Since roof rats rarely dig burrows, burrow fumigants are of limited use; however, if they have constructed burrows, then fumigants that are effective on Norway rats, such as aluminum phosphide and gas cartridges, will be effective on roof rats. Because roof rats are fast and agile, they are not easy prey for mammalian or avian predators.

Complex construction litigation can be very expensive and time-consuming; suing for retainage or final payment can also be expensive and postpone payments. Fortunately, several alternatives exist including arbitration and mediation, and our attorneys have the experience to represent any claim before a construction mediator or arbitrator. In fact, we regularly represent our clients, but two of our staff are also certified third-party neutrals which mean we can serve as the mediator or arbitrator for any construction or local government dispute.
Many construction contracts require arbitration or mediation, and when we draft contracts for our contractors or subcontractors, we typically include an arbitration or mediation provision as an alternative to litigation. Even if a contract does not specify that the parties must arbitrate or mediate their dispute, alternative dispute resolution can still be a very useful and efficient mechanism to resolve disputes and avoid costs and delays associated with traditional litigation. Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") gives our clients options in dispute resolution that maximize their own control and minimize the impact of an inevitable conflict. Cobb Law Group attorneys assist businesses and individuals in avoiding protracted litigation and its resulting costs and burdens.
Since the Cobb Law Group works hard to solve our clients' problems before they occur, we regularly counsel our clients on dispute reconciliation provisions in their contracts and subcontracts. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to the various methods of contracts disputes. Needless to say, each anticipated situation is unique. For those involved in the construction industry, the speed of the dispute resolution is often more important than the costs of the solution. Critical path delays, for example, can disrupt an on-going project subjecting the owner and developer, the general contractor, and the subcontractor to potential damages ranging from costs of completion, damages for delays, and liquidated damages. Thus, the sooner a solution can be reached, the sooner the project can get back on track and the damages mitigated.
As a part of a dispute resolution contract term, parties may want to consider an escalation from informal, good-faith problem-solving which then moves to immediate mediation, and, in the event that mediation was not fruitful, the situation is submitted to arbitration. During each of the steps, there are terms which should be decided by the partied in advance. For example, the American Arbitration Association has specific rules governing construction disputes; furthermore, there are specific rules for smaller claims (usually under $1 Million in dispute). Also, parties can establish time-tables and even agree to a specific third-party neutral in advance. Having thes decisions addressed in the prime contract or subcontract can save parties time in the event of a problem.
Through the mediation process, we assist the parties in arriving at mutually beneficial resolutions to their conflicts. Our mediation can be effective at any stage of litigation, from its initial stages to an appeal following trial. Construction mediation can foster trust and collaboration through strict confidentiality in a controlled environment. Typically, mediation is not binding; thus, when a resolution is reached, it is valuntarily agreed to between the parties. When voluntarily undertaken, mediation gives the authority back to the parties to quickly and can satisfactorily resolve disputes.
Mediation can be the least expensive method to resolve a dispute. Although an attorney must prepare for mediation, most of the evidence regarding the claim is introduced to the meditor very informally–often it is from direct testimony from our clients' or their project managers. The other parties involved are usually in a separate room and the mediator conducting the proceeding is able to keep confidential information from the other party.
Mediation is frequently scheduled within a few days or weeks of the parties agreeing to mediate their disputes; since the resolution is ultimate voluntary, the resolution is rendered quickly and allows construction projects to move forward or require payment to be made.
Businesses and other institutions often find it helpful to retain individuals to investigate problems who are trained in conflict prevention and who can assist in the resolution of disputes before litigation arises. Acting as neutrals, our attorneys review situations for equity, fairness of process, and compliance with policy and procedure. We can then aid the business or institution by suggesting approaches to managing conflict, opening channels of communication between the institution and its employees, offering recommendations for policy changes, or acting as third-party neutrals in conflict resolution.
Construction attorney Mark Cobb and Paralegal and Georgia elected official James Eubanks are registered third-party neutrals for the State of Georgia, and they can be available to assist you in managing your dispute. As problem-solvers, they both are committed to achieving a fair, just, voluntary resolution to disputes. Mark has decades of experience representing construction professionals in all manner of disputes including mediation, arbitration, as well as litigation. James, as a sitting Mayor, brings a unique problem-solving technique to his hearings; with years of successful government service, he understands public works projects, bidding disputes, and disputes between municipalities.
When greater intervention is desired, entities often turn to arbitration to resolve disputes short of litigation. Whether binding or non-binding, arbitration offers parties the opportunity to competitively present evidence to an independent decision-maker and obtain a prompt result.
Construction arbitration is similar to litigation; however, it typically occurs more quickly and easily. The rules governing how the arbitration proceeds impacts the length and the costs of the proceeding. Frequently, there are opening arguments and then the party who moved for arbitration proceeds with their attorney leading the proceeding with witnesses and documents; then, the other side has an opportunity to present its case for the arbitrator's consideration. Ultimately, the arbitrator renders a decision which, if binding arbitration may be enforced legally if necessary.
If you are seeking to avoid litigation in Georgia through alternative means, please contact the attorneys at the Cobb Law Group to review your ADR options and opportunities.

UK's late payment 'crisis' risks future of 440,000 small firms
Federation of Small Businesses urges ministers to improve payment issue that has long dogged the sector
More than 440,000 small firms could be forced out of business by the late payment "crisis", according to the Federation of Small Businesses, which has called for urgent government intervention to improve the way firms are paid.
Almost a third of small businesses (30%) surveyed told the FSB that they had seen the late payment of invoices increase over the last three months, with at least 8% warning that the problem has become so bad that it was threatening the viability of their business.
For years the problem of late payments – often by big FTSE firms – has dogged the small business sector. Firms are often forced to pay their suppliers, wages and other bills on time, but face long waits to be paid themselves.
The FSB said more than 400,000 small firms have shut down since the start of the pandemic for various reasons, and that the future of a similar number is now threatened by this problem alone.
"Late payment was destroying thousands of small businesses even before the pandemic hit – the pandemic has made matters worse," said the FSB national chair, Mike Cherry. "In the past, the government has rightly identified greater board accountability as key to spurring change in this area, but delivery has been slow."
Cherry said small firms, which employ more than 13 million workers in the UK, are facing battles on almost every front, including new customs checks on imports from the EU and a looming energy cost crisis.
"Today, it's a fresh wave of admin for importers and exporters – in three months' time it will be a hike to the jobs tax, that is national insurance contributions, a rise in dividend taxation, business rates bills and an increase in the national living wage. On top of that, operating costs are surging – many will soon be trying to strike energy deals without the clout of big corporates or the protections afforded to consumers."
The FSB has said every big business and government organisation should be abiding by the prompt payment code arguing that 30-day payment terms should be "the norm for those who are committed to environmental, social and governance best practice".
It wants every big UK corporation to have a non-executive director on its board with direct responsibility for payment culture.
The other findings of the FSB survey of more than 1,200 members will concern ministers. More small firms now expect their performance to worsen over the coming three months than expect an improvement. Pessimism is especially pronounced in the retail, accommodation and food industries, as many UK consumers adopted self-imposed lockdowns in the face of Omicron.
Pictures of deserted high streets in the run-up to Christmas, fears over spiralling energy costs and concerns that staff will not be able return to work on Tuesday have not helped matters. Spiralling energy bills have already forced some firms to close. Businesses are not protected by the price cap imposed by the regulator Ofgem.
Companies importing goods from the EU also now face new, onerous paperwork. Regulations require businesses (in most cases those receiving goods in the UK, but in some those sending them to the UK) to notify the customs authorities of precisely what is being sent to Great Britain from the EU, and from where. The rules were in effect waived throughout 2021 but now apply for the first time.
A government spokesperson said: "The government is making significant reforms to help small businesses get paid on time, including halving the payment period in the prompt payment code and consulting on fines and other new powers for the Small Business Commissioner."
"There is plenty of support available to ensure small businesses are well positioned to comply with UK border processes, including one-to-one advice through the Export Support Service."

Harvest Coaching & Consulting
Lee began in pastoral ministry in 1998 as a youth pastor in South Bend, IN. Shortly after getting married, God began to stir in his heart the idea of church planting. In 2004, Lee took a job as an associate pastor at Red Mountain Community Church (a large church in the Phoenix Metro area) that shared his heart and vision to plant more healthy churches. After serving five years on staff, it was time to fulfill this vision; Lee and his wife, along with a small group of risk takers from Red Mountain, launched Harvest Community Church.
With a strong foundation from Red Mountain and Converge's Vision Arizona church planting network, Harvest opened its doors for the first time on August 23, 2009, in a Mesa movie theater with 356 people in attendance. Over the next five years, Lee led Harvest through two local moves, the acquisition of land and a building, and to over 1000 people in attendance. During this season, Lee and Harvest were significant players in the Vision Arizona church planting network where Lee served on the leadership team, as God continued to fan the flame of his passion for church planting. While leading Harvest, Lee helped launch several churches in Arizona, and coached many local church planters and pastors in the process.
In March of 2015, Lee became the Executive Director of Church Planting for Converge, a leader among church planting movements. Despite a heart wrenching decision to leave Harvest, Lee and Melissa knew God was calling them to focus on church planting at the national level for Converge. Over the years, despite changing ministry roles, hardships and moves, Lee's heart continues to beat strongly for the local church, pastors and church planting. Lee and his wife Melissa reside in Orlando, Florida with their two crazy kids.

Another year, another day of social media full of outrage about something the World Fantasy Convention has done. How tiresomely predictable.
For those who are late to the party, Sarah Pinsker has a lot of inside track on what went on, having tried to save them from their stupidity. Mike Glyer has a round of of Twitter reactions. And Foz Meadows has a lengthy blog post. An earlier blow-up about this year's convention is reported by Jason Sanford.
You may also want to refresh your memory of some of the previous drama, because this convention sure has history.
I have much sympathy. We've been here before. I don't doubt that we'll be here again. Some people, however, are bravely trying to do something about it.
Some people have been busy contacting the up-coming WFCs in San Antonio (2017) and Baltimore (2018). This has some promise. The San Antonio event is being run by the people who run Armadillocon which does at least have a harassment policy. I'm hearing some good things on Twitter about the Baltimore event. However, this is only a short term solution. The World Fantasy Board appoints a different group to run each year's event. They can, and will, continue to give that job to people who produce the sort of convention that they want, rather than the sort of convention other people might want.
Over on Facebook, Tempest Bradford has suggested boycotting the convention. Again this has some merit. The problem is that, as a high profile professional networking event with a membership cap, WFC generally has no trouble attracting attendees. People, and especially aspiring young writers, feel that they need to be seen there. If going to WFC is important to people's careers, and the only people who go are people who are comfortable at an event aimed primarily at straight cis white men, well I think you can see the problem.
Tempest suggests ghosting the convention (i.e. not buying a membership, but getting a hotel room and joining the bar conversations). She's absolutely right that this is where all of the action happens. WFC programming has been crap for as long as I can remember, so most people don't got to it. As a con-runner I'm always a bit nervous about ghosting because it can cause financial problems for the organizers, but if the event is sold out that's a different matter.
Other people have been suggesting having an alternative convention, perhaps online. I'm certainly interested in that, but the networking really on happens at meatspace events. If you want networking and can get to US events, the Nebula weekend seems to have been going from strength to strength since people with an eye on the future took over SFWA. The Locus Awards weekend is also chock full of leading industry folks. Personally, of course, I would like something more international. Sadly this year's Eurocon in Barcelona is sold out, otherwise I would suggest y'all come over here instead.
The only way we will get real change, I think, is if the people at the top of the field stop supporting WFC. The convention can only be good for your career if people you want to network with are going to be there. That means publishers, their editors, top writers and so on. We need those people to stand up and tell WFC that they will stop attending unless the event stops being an embarrassment to the industry.
I'm with you that editors and publishers have to put a stop to it, but I have no qualms whatsoever ghosting this convention, and have done so in the past. The organisers are out of pocket? Poor mites. They might think about putting on a convention people might want to support, instead of having to attend gritting their teeth.
Point taken, but having being involved in running a WFC I know how much pressure is put on the organizing group to run the sort of convention that the Board wants rather than what they want. That's clearly not the case this year, indeed the current convention seems to be trying hard to be more conservative than the Board, but might be in other years.
Also I'm reluctant to encourage ghosting as a general principle, because if people think it is OK for WFC they may think it is OK for all conventions.
I would say that I'll stop attending WFC but first I'd have to *start* attending.
A lot of people like me can't afford to attend WFC because it's expensive and exclusive. Membership is capped and it's pricey, so I feel it's not cost-effective for me to go to a limited convention when I'd have a chance to see more people at the worldcon. There's always someone to have a drink with in the bar.
But maybe it would be a better solution if *more* people went to WFC, rather than stayed away—more people, and more different kinds of people. And not ghosting, but participating, getting right into the centre of things and making their voices heard and their presence felt. I think that's a more positive way to bring about change.
You've not been to WFC, Pat. I have been to several. I have even helped run one. I can tell you from bitter experience that trying to work with them does absolutely no good at all.
Worldcon has some democratic traditions. You can get people to vote for the changes you want. With WFC the only people who have a say are the Board, and the only way to get on the Board is to chair a WFC.
If you try to make your voice heard as an ordinary member you get made to feel very unwelcome. If you do ever manage to get to run the convention you have to put up with an enormous amount of Board interference on petty issues, you'll have the Board undermining your efforts publicly before the event, and after it they will spread lies about what you did.
The WFC that I was involved in running was 7 years ago. In the intervening time things have only got worse. They are so set in their ways that I don't think they are likely to change even if their business model does collapse.

Q: Spark Streaming Iterative Algorithm I want to create a Spark Streaming application coded in Scala.
I want my application to:

*

*read from a HDFS Text File line by line

*analyze every line as String and if needed modify it and:

*keep state that is needed for the analysis in some kind of data structures (Hashes probably)

*output of everything on text files (any kind)

I've had no problems with the first step:
val lines = ssc.textFileStream("hdfs://localhost:9000/path/")

My analysis consist in searching a match in the Hashes for some fields of the String analyzed, that's why I need to maintain a state and do the process iteratively.
The data in those Hashes is also extracted by the strings analyzed.
What can I do for next steps?

A: Since you just have to read one HDFS text file line by line, you probably do not need to Spark Streaming for that. You can just use Spark.
val lines = sparkContext.textFile("...")

Then you can use mapPartition to do a distributed processing of the whole partitioned file.
val processedLines = lines.mapPartitions { partitionAsIterator =>
  processPartitionAndReturnNewIterator(partitionAsIterator)
}

In that function, you can walk through the lines in the partition, store state stuff in a hashmap, etc. and finally return another iterator of output records corresponding to that partition.
Now if you want share state across partitions, then you probably have to do some more aggregations like groupByKey() or reduceByKey() on processedLines dataset.
