The Truants by Lee Markham
Vampires are back on the streets of London in Lee Markham's visceral debut The Truants. Just when you thought the vampire mythology could not take another go round, Markham takes this corner of the horror genre and gives is a shake. His stated aim is to create some discomfort for readers and he succeeds.
On a bench facing east the old one waits to die. A long-lived vampire, the old one has decided to end his life by facing the sun. But before he can complete the ritual he is attacked by a street kid after money. The kid stabs him and then escapes with a broken arm but the damage has been done. The knife that is carried away is somehow infused with the spirit of the dying vampire and every person it touches absorbs that spirit. The first two of these are a two year old boy and a ten year old school boy. From there all hell, literally, breaks out.
Markham has crafted a vampire tale for modern times. His vampires are dispossessed of the streets and the tower blocks of London. The baby that the old one possesses early on is living in squalor in a drug dealer's squat so that it is almost a relief when he is given some agency even with the violence that accompanies his awakening as a vampire. Markham does not draw easy parallels between vampirism and, say drug addiction, but is keen to explore the way in which these children are empowered and the response of the adult population. As the old one observes of his growing army:
"A gang. A singular, manipulable mass. Easy enough to turn it into a cause, give it gravity, draw them in. Make them an 'us', and set them against a 'them'. The poverty and hunger and hate gifted them by the world has already done half the work for me."
There is a deeper mythology here which drives the plot. The old one is being observed by an even older vampire. She lives a life slightly removed from the world of man and does not use her power to create chaos and destruction. So that the book builds to a confrontation between her more enlightened approach and the old one's violence and rage.
Following the glut that included True Blood, Twilight, Underworld and The Originals it felt like the vampire corner of the horror genre was running out of steam. But Markham manages to breath some new life into the genre. The Truants is not for everyone. It is violent and confronting and not at all a comfortable read. But this is an original take on a long-running horror trope that is visceral, often poetic and sympathetic to many of its characters.

New Delhi - Virat Kohli on Sunday became the first international captain to hit six Test double centuries after he cracked a career-best 243 against Sri Lanka in New Delhi.
In-form Kohli, fresh from his 213 in India's thrashing of Sri Lanka in the second Test in Nagpur, achieved the feat in the first session of day two after he pulled paceman Suranga Lakmal for a couple of runs.
Nicknamed King Kohli, the prolific run-getter has also scored double tons against West Indies, New Zealand, England and Bangaldesh - and all have come as captain since early in 2016.
He joined batting greats Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag in India's list of most double hundreds by batsmen in Tests.
India declared their first innings on 536 for seven in a bizarre morning that saw Sri Lankan struggle to have a full compliment of fielders.
Nine of Sri Lanka's players wore masks while pacemen Lahiru Gamage and Suranga Lakmal left the field due to pollution, which caused play to be suspended for 20 minutes in the afternoon session.

Ghana: Main opposition party reveals its results for elections and claims for a second round
December 15, 2020 Steven Addamah News 0
After the re-election of incumbent President Nana Akufo-Addo, the opposition NDC party continues to contest the election results.
After the battle of words, the battle of numbers. The day after the announcement of the victory of his rival, the outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo, the opposition candidate John Mahama called the official results released by the electoral commission "fraudulent". He promised to take "all legitimate measures to reverse this injustice".
On Sunday, his party, the NDC, gave a press conference supposedly exposing the errors of the election commission. According to his calculations, Nana Akufo-Addo would come well ahead of the presidential election, but with only 49.62% of the vote. This would imply the holding of a second round, between the outgoing president and John Mahama.
The dispute also relates to the legislative elections. According to provisional results published by the Electoral Commission, the presidential party reportedly won 137 seats in Parliament, while the NDC won 136. However, according to the calculations of the opposition party, the NDC actually won 140 seats, the majority in Parliament.
For its part, the Electoral Commission has admitted that it made errors in its calculations but claims that this does not change the results of the presidential and parliamentary elections. Local and international observers validated the findings of the Election Commission, but regretted that the process was "less transparent" than usual.

Dogs have been accepted as the friendliest animals from the ancient times. During the hunting period dogs accompanied hunters in the forests and helped them to get a bigger bag of games by chasing and flushing out small animals from the shelter of bushes and trees. As the time passed dog became familiar and acquired many roles in the lives of mankind, it was a trusted friend, a watchdog that protected the home and family and a hunter that helped in the hunts; dogs also became a part of families as pets. They were invited to live inside the house. When they started living inside the house they needed to be trained to follow the rules of living in the interior, particularly rules that are related to hygiene. However, very soon people discovered that it was not possible for everyone to train dogs, a specific type of skill was needed to train them, and owners were incapable of acting tough to discipline their dogs to follow the rules. Dog trainers were needed to train and discipline pets. Some dog trainers use tough methods with a soft touch and Cesar Millan is an expert in using the tough and soft touch method to discipline dogs. Cesar Millan is a famous television personality and dog trainer, who is self trained, and he calls his method of training dogs 'calm assertive energy'.
Millan, lived his whole life looking after and taking care of dogs. He spends his early years in Mexico and used to take care of dogs on his grandfather's farm. He was so good with dogs that the local people called him 'dog boy'. When he was twenty he slipped across the border into America. As he was an illegal immigrant, he had to take any type of job that was offered to him and he started working in a store that groomed canines. He had no visa and his English language skills were practically nonexistent. From a semi skilled daily wage earner to the most famous dog trainer in the USA and in the world, the story of Cesar Millan is an extraordinary saga of hard work, specific skills and an ability to understand dogs and work with them.
Behind Millan's successful lies in the theory that it is not enough to love your dog and give it good food and safe place to live, it is also necessary for the owners to establish their role as leaders in order to discipline their dogs, set a limit between permissible behavior and non permissible behavior. Set boundaries and clearly communicate that a certain kind of behaviour is acceptable and if there is a deviation from the set rules the dog needs to be told in no uncertain terms that this behaviour is unacceptable. In other words, along with food, shelter, affection, exercise the dog also needs to be disciplined. Millan believes that some owners shower too much love, but hesitate to discipline their pets, even when they needed to be disciplined. Millan specializes in training aggressive dogs, and he always advises their owners what methods to adopt when they are training their dogs. He uses sounds to train them, and advises the owners to develop their own sounds and train their dogs to follow them as commands.
Millan has his own series of television shows called 'Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan' that was regularly watched by the viewers. Through these series, he explains his method of training dogs. The series also featured Millan's dog Daddy, the original dog that used to appear in the serial died of old age and Millan replaced it a dog of similar breed. However, there were whispers that Millan uses excessive force to train dogs and the series lost its dedicated segment of viewers. Millan has written three books on the topic, his books were translated into other languages and were sold all over the world, in the USA alone nearly two million copies were sold. He tours other countries and conducts workshops, advising people how to use his method of creating relationships that are balanced between owners and their pets. Millan is a self trained person, he is not professionally trained. In 2014 his serial called 'Cesar' went into the air.
Recently, there were whispers against the training methods used by Millan, professional dog trainers questioned his method of training and said that sometimes he uses excessive force to discipline and train dogs. There were articles and news items in many newspapers against his way of training dogs. Millan maintains that he does not use excessive force and whatever methods he uses to train dogs are legitimate. However, the spate of articles and blogs still continue to appear online and in print disputing his claim.
Millan became the permanent citizen of the USA in 2000, in 2009 he was declared a citizen of USA officially. In 1994, he married Illusion Wilson and has two children. His wife filed for divorce in 2010 and asked for sole custody of children and support. Millan, tried to commit suicide, but failed in his attempt. He is now in a regular relationship with another person, Jahira Dar.
Millan's method of disciplining dogs is still popular and many people swear by the claim that 'calm aggressive' is the best way to train dogs. His popularity with the television audience continues and his documentaries are watched by thousands in all parts of the world. Presently Cesar Millan, though self trained continues, to be the favorite dog trainer of many people and his word is law that is strictly followed by people.


The treatment of a rigid flatfoot depends on its cause. Congenital vertical talus. Your doctor may suggest a trial of serial casting. The foot is placed in a cast and the cast is changed frequently to reposition the foot gradually. However, this generally has a low success rate. Most people ultimately need surgery to correct the problem. Tarsal coalition. Treatment depends on your age, extent of bone fusion and severity of symptoms. For milder cases, your doctor may recommend nonsurgical treatment with shoe inserts, wrapping of the foot with supportive straps or temporarily immobilizing the foot in a cast. For more severe cases, surgery is necessary to relieve pain and improve the flexibility of the foot. Lateral subtalar dislocation. The goal is to move the dislocated bone back into place as soon as possible. If there is no open wound, the doctor may push the bone back into proper alignment without making an incision. Anesthesia is usually given before this treatment. Once this is accomplished, a short leg cast must be worn for about four weeks to help stabilize the joint permanently. About 15% to 20% of people with lateral subtalar dislocation must be treated with surgery to reposition the dislocated bone.

Q: How to get histogram data in measuring the performance I am trying to measure the performance of our service by putting the data in a HashMap like-
X number of calls came back in Y ms. Below is my code which is very simple. It will set the timer before hitting the service and after the response came back, it will measure the time.
private static void serviceCall() {

    histogram = new HashMap<Long, Long>();
    keys = histogram.keySet();
    long total = 10;
    long runs = total;

    while (runs > 0) {

        long start_time = System.currentTimeMillis();

        // hitting the service
        result = restTemplate
                .getForObject("Some URL",String.class);

        long difference = (System.currentTimeMillis() - start_time);

        Long count = histogram.get(difference);
        if (count != null) {
            count++;
            histogram.put(Long.valueOf(difference), count);
        } else {
            histogram.put(Long.valueOf(difference), Long.valueOf(1L));
        }
        runs--;
    }
    for (Long key : keys) {
        Long value = histogram.get(key);
        System.out.println("SERVICE MEASUREMENT, HG data, " + key + ":" + value);
    }
}

Currently the output I am getting is something like this-
SERVICE MEASUREMENT, HG data, 166:1
SERVICE MEASUREMENT, HG data, 40:2
SERVICE MEASUREMENT, HG data, 41:4
SERVICE MEASUREMENT, HG data, 42:1
SERVICE MEASUREMENT, HG data, 43:1
SERVICE MEASUREMENT, HG data, 44:1

which means is 1 call came back in 166 ms, 2 calls came back in 40 ms and same with other outputs.
Problem Statement:-
What I am looking for now is something like this. I should have range setup like this-
X Number of calls came back in between 1 and 10 ms
Y Number of calls came back in between 11 and 20 ms
Z Number of calls came back in between 21 and 30 ms
P Number of calls came back in between 31 and 40 ms
T number of calls came back in between 41 and 50 ms

....
....

I number of calls came back in more than 100 ms

And any way to configure the range also. Suppose in future I need to tweak in the range, I should be able to do it. How can I achieve this thing in my current program? Any suggestions will be of great help.

A: A histogram is a set of data arranged into "bins" of equal size.  You should convert your time measurement to a bin and use that bin as the map key.  This can be done simply by dividing your time value by the bin size.  For example:  time / 10L.

The injury absence of center Ryan Kesler could have a far-reaching impact on the fantasy value of multiple Anaheim Ducks forwards.
Kesler, who finished 36th in standard Yahoo leagues last season, will miss the start of the season while recovering from hip surgery June 8. The Ducks hope Kesler will be back by Christmas, but there is no timetable for his return.
The 33-year-old was one of two players (Brad Marchand) with at least 55 points (58), 20 PPP, 80 penalty minutes (83) and 185 SOG (186). Kesler had added fantasy value in leagues that count hits (146 last season) and blocked shots (75; sixth among forwards). He was among NHL.com's top 100 fantasy assets prior to this injury update.
Because of his top-notch coverage, Kesler is worth drafting in one of the final rounds of a multi-category league and stashing on injured reserve. That said, his Yahoo average draft position (136.9) was low to begin with and should plummet leading up to the start of the season.
Kesler's injury could open the door for dual-eligible forward Rickard Rakell (C/LW in Yahoo), who could be moved to center and play on the first power-play unit with center Ryan Getzlaf, right wing Corey Perry and defenseman Cam Fowler. Rakell led the Ducks in goals (33), was fifth in even-strength goals (28) and had respectable totals in plus/minus (10), power-play points (12) and shots on goal (177). He doesn't cover hits quite like Kesler (1.8 per game last season), but is still a solid contributor in that category (81 in 71 games; 1.1 per game).
Rakell was already a prime keeper-league target, but now warrants earlier consideration than his ADP (102.5) in other fantasy formats. With a greater opportunity for first power-play usage and experience centering Perry at even strength, you can justify reaching for Rakell among the top 75 overall.
Prior to this news regarding Kesler's injury, there was one spot up for grabs on the Ducks' first power-play unit, with Rakell and wings Jakob Silfverberg and Patrick Eaves being candidates to see time in those situations. Now, there are two available spots up for grabs. Although Kesler will be severely missed on both ends of the ice for the first few months of the regular season, his injury gives Anaheim's other forwards a chance to blossom.
Silfverberg (RW in Yahoo; ADP: 151.4) and Eaves (RW; ADP: 162.8) each become more attractive as late-round picks. Silfverberg, who finished 115th in Yahoo last season, was tied with Rakell for second on the Ducks in even-strength points (39) behind Getzlaf (50). Power-play production has been the only category separating Silfverberg from top 100 territory to this point (NHL career-high nine PPP last season). Silfverberg has been a fixture with Kesler at even strength and has had strong Stanley Cup Playoff showings in each of the past three seasons, so he certainly warrants more power-play usage.
It remains to be seen whether Silfverberg's even-strength production will decline at all without Kesler, but having either Getzlaf or Rakell as his center for the first few months of the season could see him maintain similar 5-on-5 production and finally break out on the power play.
Eaves, who played most frequently with Getzlaf at even strength after being traded to the Ducks on Feb. 24, should remain on that line and could also see more power-play time than initially expected. The veteran right wing had NHL career highs in goals (32), assists (19), points (51), PPP (18) and SOG (209) last season with the Ducks and Dallas Stars. Eaves had 14 points (11 goals, three assists) in 20 games with Anaheim and thrived on the top line and first power-play unit in Dallas with Jamie Benn.
Ducks left wing Nick Ritchie can also emerge as a deep fantasy sleeper in the event that Rakell moves to center, potentially opening up a left wing slot with an elite distributor in Getzlaf. Ritchie, 21, scored four goals in 15 postseason games and covered goals (14), PIMs (62) and hits (247) well last season.

Justia › US Law › Case Law › Federal Courts › District Courts › Pennsylvania › Middle District of Pennsylvania › 1994 › Smith v. Holtz
Smith v. Holtz, 856 F. Supp. 227 (M.D. Pa. 1994)
Jay C. SMITH, Plaintiff,
John J. HOLTZ, et al., Defendants.
No. 4:CV-93-1428.
*228 Leslie M. Fields, Lemoyne, PA, Gerald J. Williams, Williams & Cuker, Philadelphia, PA, for plaintiff.
Calvin R. Koons, Gregory R. Neuhauser, Atty. General's Office, Litigation Section, Harrisburg, PA, for defendants.
*229 MEMORANDUM
McCLURE, District Judge.
Plaintiff Jay C. Smith filed this section 1983 action[1] alleging the violation of his civil rights by defendants in connection with his murder conviction. In April, 1986, plaintiff was convicted of murdering Philadelphia school teacher Susan Reinert and her two children, and was sentenced to death.[2]
Plaintiff remained on death row until September 18, 1992 when his discharge was ordered by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.[3] The state Supreme Court held that, due to the prosecutorial misconduct which led to plaintiff's conviction, the law required that Smith be discharged, because a retrial would violate his right against double jeopardy under the Pennsylvania Constitution.
Plaintiff brings this action against the state investigators responsible for reviewing and preserving the evidence against him. He alleges that defendants knowingly and deliberately concealed from plaintiff and his attorney, William Costopoulos, Esq., exculpatory evidence which would have bolstered Smith's theory of the case.
Plaintiff names as defendants: John J. Holtz and Ronald F. Colyer, both of the Bureau of Technical Services of the Pennsylvania State Police; Victor Dove, John J. Purcell and William J. Lander of the Central Regional Office of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation of the Office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General; and Paul Yatron, Executive Director of the Attorney General's office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶¶ 10-16)
It was Smith's contention at the trial that Reinert and her children were murdered at the New Jersey shore by William Bradfield and/or his associates who then conspired to "frame" Smith for the murders. Bradfield had previously been convicted of the murder of Reinert and her children.
At trial, Smith's counsel cross-examined the prosecution's witness on the existence of physical evidence found during the autopsy of Reinert's body, which evidence supported the defense theory that the murders had taken place at the shore. During cross-examination, prosecution witness John C. Balshy, a former state policeman who had been present during the autopsy, testified that he observed a grainy substance between Reinert's toes, which substance appeared to be sand. Balshy testified that he had preserved this evidence by pressing it onto rubber "lifters." (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶¶ 20-21). The "lifters" were not produced at trial, and their actual existence was never disclosed by the prosecution during, or at any time prior to, the trial. Smith states that his counsel learned of their existence through independent means in 1988. (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶ 31).
Plaintiff alleges a series of acts by the various defendants intended to conceal the existence of the lifters from plaintiff and his counsel in violation of his right to exculpatory evidence established by Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S. Ct. 1194, 10 L. Ed. 2d 215 (1963), and in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 3.8. (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶ 38). Plaintiff alleges that the defendants and the prosecution knew of the significance of this evidence to his defense but willfully concealed it with the effect of denying him a fair trial. (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶¶ 23-29 and 34-35).
Plaintiff alleges that defendants acted out of a desire to: 1) "avoid public embarrassment of the state police and the office of the attorney general because of the conduct of their investigation;" 2) "avoid confirmation of plaintiff's allegations of prosecutorial misconduct in his post-conviction petitions; and to `cover up' a persistent, consistent pattern of misconduct and incompetence throughout the *230 investigation of the Reinert murders;" and 3) on the part of defendant Holtz, to receive compensation for his story on the investigation. (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶ 36).
Plaintiff asserts a cause of action under section 1983 based on alleged violations of his Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. He alleges that he has been deprived of the right to: a) freedom from the deprivation of life, liberty or property without due process of law; b) a fair trial in a criminal prosecution, and the right to be free of malicious prosecution; and c) the right to equal protection of the laws. (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶ 40). As redress for these alleged violations, plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages and attorney's fees pursuant to section 1988.
Defendants moved for partial summary judgment[4] on plaintiff's due process and equal protection claims on the ground that there are no material facts in dispute on those claims and that defendants are entitled to judgment on them as a matter of law.
Defendants' brief in support of their motion addressed a different issue entirely: their contention that all plaintiff's claims (except that for malicious prosecution) are barred by the two-year statute of limitations applicable to such claims, since plaintiff cannot dispute that he knew of the lifters' existence more than two years prior to filing this action. That is the issue which plaintiff refuted in his opposing brief and will be the issue we address here. We interpret defendants' shift in focus as an abandonment of the original argument stated in their motion.
For the reasons which follow, we find that summary judgment in defendants' favor is appropriate on all claims asserted and will enter an order to that effect.
Summary judgment standard
Summary judgment is appropriate if the "pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)
... [T]he plain language of Rule 56(c) mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery and upon motion, against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial. In such a situation, there can be `no genuine issue as to any material fact,' since a complete failure of proof concerning an essential element of the nonmoving party's case necessarily renders all other facts immaterial. The moving party is `entitled to judgment as a matter of law' because the nonmoving party has failed to make a sufficient showing on an essential element of her case with respect to which she has the burden of proof.
Celotex v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24, 106 S. Ct. 2548, 2552, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265 (1986).
The moving party bears the initial responsibility of stating the basis for its motions and identifying those portions of the record which demonstrate the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. He or she can discharge that burden by "showing ... that there is an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party's case." Celotex, supra, 477 U.S. at 323 and 325, 106 S. Ct. at 2552-53 and 2554.
Issues of fact are "`genuine' only if a reasonable jury, considering the evidence presented, could find for the non-moving party." Childers v. Joseph, 842 F.2d 689, 693-94 (3rd Cir. 1988), citing Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 249, 106 S. Ct. 2505, 2510-11, 91 L. Ed. 2d 202 (1986). Material facts are those which will affect the outcome of the trial under governing law. Anderson, supra, 477 U.S. at 248, 106 S. Ct. at 2510. In determining whether an issue of material fact exists, the court must consider all evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. White v. Westinghouse Electric Company, 862 F.2d 56, 59 (3d Cir.1988).

Defendants argue that, with the exception of plaintiff's claim for malicious prosecution,[5] all claims asserted are time-barred.[6] Federal courts apply the state personal injury statute of limitations in section 1983 actions, Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 276-80, 105 S. Ct. 1938, 1947-49, 85 L. Ed. 2d 254 (1985). Pennsylvania's statute of limitations applies here, and under it, the time limit for filing a section 1983 claim is two years. Smith v. City of Pittsburgh, 764 F.2d 188, 194 (3d Cir.1985), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 950, 106 S. Ct. 349, 88 L. Ed. 2d 297 (1985) and 42 Pa.Cons.Stat.Ann. § 5524. Smith's complaint was filed with this court on September 15, 1993, barring claims which accrued more than two years prior to that date.
Although the state statute of limitations applies to section 1983 claims, when the cause of action accrues is a question of federal law. Albright v. Oliver, ___ U.S. ___, ___ n. 6, 114 S. Ct. 807, 813 n. 6, 127 L. Ed. 2d 114, 128 n. 6 (1994) (Ginsburg, J. concurring). Under federal law, a section 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows, or has reason to know, of the injury that constitutes the basis of the action. Deary v. Three Un-Named Police Officers, 746 F.2d 185, 193 (3d Cir.1984) and Sandutch v. Muroski, 684 F.2d 252, 254 (3d Cir.1982) (per curiam).
In this circuit, a claim for the denial of fair trial based on the conduct of the prosecution accrues on the date of conviction provided the plaintiff knew, or reasonably should have known, of the violation of his rights at that time. Sandutch, supra, 684 F.2d at 254.[7] See generally: Rose v. Bartle, 871 F.2d 331, 351 (3d Cir.1989) (A section 1983 claim of false arrest accrues on the date of the arrest.) and Deary v. Three Un-Named Police Officers, 746 F.2d 185, 197 n. 16 (3d Cir.1984) (same).
If the plaintiff could not have known of the violation on the date of conviction, the cause of action accrues on the date when he discovers, or reasonably should have discovered, the violation. The date when "the plaintiff becomes aware, or should have become aware, of both the fact of injury and its causal connection to the defendant," triggers the limitations period, even if the plaintiff did not realize that defendant's conduct was tortious or unlawful. Sowers v. Bradford Area School District, 694 F. Supp. 125, 136 *232 (W.D.Pa.1988), citing, inter alia, United States v. Kubrick, 444 U.S. 111, 100 S. Ct. 352, 62 L. Ed. 2d 259 (discovery rule applied under Federal Tort Claims Act); Plain v. Flicker 645 F. Supp. 898, 901 (D.N.J.1986) (applying Kubrick discovery rule to section 1983 claim); and Hauptmann v. Wilentz, 570 F. Supp. 351, 396 (D.N.J.1983), aff'd, 770 F.2d 1070 (3d Cir.), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 1103, 106 S. Ct. 887, 88 L. Ed. 2d 922 (1986) (also applying Kubrick discovery rule to section 1983 claim).
The Third Circuit applied the discovery rule in Sandutch, supra, which involved the alleged violation of Sandutch's federal rights based on the state prosecutor's use of a fraudulent incriminating statement obtained from an alleged co-conspirator. Id. at 253. The Third Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's civil rights claim as time-barred. The co-conspirator's statement was introduced at Sandutch's preliminary hearing. Its falsity came to light before Sandutch's trial commenced, when the alleged co-conspirator recanted and stated that he had been coerced into giving a statement implicating Sandutch.
Sandutch's civil rights action was filed beyond the one and two year statutes of limitations applicable, respectively, to his claims of false imprisonment and false arrest. On appeal, the Third Circuit assumed, without deciding, that Sandutch did not have actual knowledge of his right to bring a federal action against the state prosecutor until 1980. It held, however, that he "had reason to know of the alleged conspiracy to secure false testimony ... when he ... [learned] of ... [the informant's] recantation" four years earlier, in 1976. Citing the fact that Sandutch "attacked ... [the informant's] incriminating statement, at both his 1976 trial and on appeal, as fraudulent and obtained by duress", Id. at 254, the court held that "[a]lthough at that time Sandutch may not have known all the facts necessary to establish that the defendants conspired to deprive him of his rights, his 1976 knowledge of the alleged falsity of ... [the informant's] statement ... should have led, by the exercise of due diligence, to the awareness that he had a cause of action. The statute began to run then." Id.
The discovery rule was also applied by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Drum v. Nasuti, 648 F. Supp. 888 (E.D.Pa.1986), aff'd without published opinion, 831 F.2d 286 (3d Cir. 1987). Drum filed a section 1983/Bivens action alleging the existence of a conspiracy between his attorneys and federal prosecutors in a criminal action. Id. at 895. Drum alleged that his attorneys had misrepresented the terms of a plea agreement which he accepted, and that he relied on their misrepresentations in refusing to testify before a grand jury. Drum's refusal to testify caused criminal contempt proceedings to be filed against him.
The district court dismissed Drum's claim as time-barred, holding that the cause of action accrued during his trial on criminal contempt charges. Drum knew at that time, the court held, of the alleged conspiracy which formed the basis for his section 1983/Bivens action. The court rejected plaintiff's argument that his claim was not ripe for filing until the conclusion of his direct appeal in the state courts, stating: "[T]he last act which Drum complains of causing his injury would have been during his criminal contempt proceedings ... when he `knew' from [defendant's] testimony of the conspiracy he claims. It was then that the statute of limitations accrued." Id. at 903 (emphasis deleted). The pendency of state court proceedings challenging the validity of the plaintiff's conviction does not toll the statute or defer the start of the limitations period on a federal civil rights claim arising out of the arrest or conviction. The limitations period begins to run despite the pendency of a habeas corpus action in federal court or a direct appeal in state court. Bagley v. CMC Real Estate Corp., 923 F.2d 758, 761 (9th Cir.1991).
To rule otherwise would delay indefinitely the start of the limitations and permit the filing of a section 1983 claim years, or even decades, after the conduct giving rise to it took place. In the case of a habeas petition in particular, there is no time limit. A habeas petition can be filed at any time while the *233 petitioner is incarcerated or awaiting incarceration.[8] Permitting a section 1983 claimant to cite the pendency or possible pendency of a habeas petition as a ground for deferring his section 1983 action would subject the individuals sued to the possibility of defending claims brought long after critical evidence has been discarded or lost and the memories of key witnesses faded the very risks which the statute of limitations exists to eliminate. See: Kubrick, supra, 444 U.S. at 117, 100 S. Ct. at 356-57 and Bagley, supra, 923 F.2d at 762.
The argument for deferral based on the pendency of habeas proceedings or an appeal in state court was considered and rejected by the district court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in Drum, supra. Drum argued that his direct appeal tolled the federal statute of limitations. The district court disagreed, stating that in such cases, the plaintiff is required to file a section 1983 claim to toll the running of the statute, even though the federal district court will most likely stay the section 1983 action pending final disposition of the underlying state proceedings. Id. at 903-04. See, e.g., Offet v. Solem, 823 F.2d 1256, 1258 n. 2 and 1261 (8th Cir.1987) (Inmate's section 1983 action for the alleged unconstitutional deprivation of good time credits should be stayed until the inmate has satisfied the exhaustion requirement for habeas petition on the underlying constitutional issue) and Bailey v. Ness, 733 F.2d 279, 283 (3d Cir.1984) (When a section 1983 claim is filed challenging a state conviction still on direct appeal in the state court system, the "proper course" is "to stay ... federal court proceedings until the state court proceedings have run their course.")
Accrual date of Smith's claims
Smith alleges multiple claims based on the prosecution's failure to disclose the existence of exculpatory evidence.[9] Although Smith alleges claims for the denial of due process and equal protection, the gravamen of his complaint is the alleged denial of the right to a fair trial due to prosecutorial misconduct.
The parties disagree on when the cause of action on this claim accrued. Defendants argue that undisputed facts establish that plaintiff's defense attorney knew as of February, 1989, at the latest, that the prosecution team had concealed the lifters from Smith and his defense counsel. It is as of that date, defendants argue, that plaintiff's cause of action accrued.
Smith argues that his cause of action did not accrue until the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered his discharge. That occurred in September, 1992, bringing his September 15, 1993 filing before this court within the two-year statute of limitations. Plaintiff bases his argument in part on the contention that only one claim, a claim for malicious prosecution, is pled and in part on the contention that defendants' actions constituted a continuing course of conduct. Plaintiff does not, and cannot, convincingly dispute that he knew of the prosecution's violation of the Brady rule by February, 1989 at the latest.[10]
Alleged continuing violation
Plaintiff's continuing violation argument is an attempt to invoke a doctrine which originated in the context of Title VII claims to permit employees or ex-employees to assert a claim for discriminatory acts which predate the limitations period on the theory that such acts constituted a pattern of discriminatory treatment which became apparent only in light of ensuing developments. Bronze Shields, Inc. v. New Jersey Department of Civil Service, 667 F.2d 1074, 1080-84 (3d Cir.1981), cert. denied, 458 U.S. 1122, 102 S. Ct. 3510, 73 L. Ed. 2d 1384 (1982) (Title VII case) and Jewett v. International Telephone and Telegraph Corp., 653 F.2d 89, 91-93 (3d Cir.1981), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 969, 102 S. Ct. 515, 70 L. Ed. 2d 386 (1981) (Title VII case). Under such circumstances, the courts reasoned, it would be unjust not to permit the employee to show the pattern of discrimination which emerged over time.
Other section 1983 plaintiffs have invoked the continuing violation doctrine in this context, with varying degrees of success. Federal *234 courts have, for the most part, rejected such efforts. To bring their claims within the ambit of the doctrine, plaintiffs generally attempt to cast their claims of prosecutorial misconduct as a vendetta, carried out from beginning to end solely with the object of obtaining plaintiff's unlawful conviction. See, e.g., McCune v. City of Grand Rapids, 842 F.2d 903, 906 (6th Cir.1988) and Corbitt v. Andersen, 778 F.2d 1471, 1474 (10th Cir. 1985).
Application of the continuing violation doctrine in this context runs into two obstacles. In cases, such as the one at bar, in which the alleged wrong is trial-related, such as the failure to disclose exculpatory evidence or reliance on perjured testimony, the doctrine applies only if the wrong is deemed a continuing one based on its continued effect, i.e. plaintiff's continued incarceration. That is not correct. The real injury complained of is the denial of a fair trial. The result of that injury is conviction and possible incarceration. Permitting the plaintiff to cast the result of the illegal act as an illegal act itself is inconsistent with the requirement that a plaintiff invoking the continuing violation doctrine demonstrate that an illegal act occurred within the limitations period, not solely that he or she has felt the continuing effects of an earlier illegal act within that period. Supreme Court precedent clearly holds that it is the wrongful act, not its effect, which triggers start of the limitations period. See, e.g., Delaware State College v. Ricks, 449 U.S. 250, 258, 101 S. Ct. 498, 504, 66 L. Ed. 2d 431 (1980) ("The proper focus is upon the time of the discriminatory acts, not upon the time at which the consequences of the acts became most painful.") (emphasis in original); Davis v. Louisiana State University, 876 F.2d 412 (5th Cir.1989) (for a claim of discriminatory expulsion from a state university, it was irrelevant that student remained expelled within the applicable statutory period, since claims accrued when student was expelled); and Pike v. City of Mission, 731 F.2d 655 (10th Cir.1984) (refusal to reinstate plaintiff and maintenance of employment records reflecting plaintiff's discharge were insufficient to establish continuing violation). For that reason, courts have rejected application of the doctrine in this context. See, e.g., Martin v. Nannie and the Newborns, Inc., 3 F.3d 1410, 1415 n. 6 (10th Cir.1993). Cf. Robinson v. Maruffi, 895 F.2d 649, 655 (10th Cir.1990) and Heller v. Plave, 743 F. Supp. 1553, 1571 (S.D.Fla.1990) (In keeping with the allegations of a continuing conspiracy, the object of which was to wrongfully convict civil rights plaintiff, the court held that plaintiff's claim accrued "not with the wrongful act, but with the `primary injury.'")
This was the conclusion reached by the Third Circuit in Sandutch, supra. Confronted with the plaintiff's argument that "his continuing incarceration is a continuing tort, because as long as he continues to be incarcerated, he continues to suffer the injury of false imprisonment," the Third Circuit held that plaintiff had not alleged a continuing tort. Citing Ward v. Caulk, 650 F.2d 1144, 1147 (9th Cir.1981) for the proposition that a "`continuing violation is occasioned by continual unlawful acts, not continual ill effects from an original violation,'" the Third Circuit held that Sandutch had "not alleged unlawful acts ... with the limitations period; rather he ... [had] alleged continuing ill effects from pre-conviction acts."
We see no distinction between the argument rejected in Sandutch, supra, and that pressed here. Smith is arguing, essentially, that so long as defendants continued their concealment of the lifters, theirs was a continuing wrong. Sandutch, supra, compels us to reject that argument as inconsistent with Third Circuit precedent.
Smith's attempt to cast the misconduct alleged as a single, continuous wrong which continued through the date of his discharge from state custody also conflicts with the facts of this case. The concealment of the lifters did not continue through the date of plaintiff's discharge from state custody. Again, it is undisputed that plaintiff's defense attorney knew of the lifters' existence, and the prosecution's failure to disclose their existence to the defense, at least as early as 1989. Defendants' deception ended when plaintiff and his counsel learned the truth, albeit through independent means.
*235 The pendency of plaintiff's state appeal also had no effect on the start or running of the limitations period. The limitations period began when plaintiff learned of the prosecution's violation of the Brady rule. The pendency of his appeal before the state courts had no effect on plaintiff's obligation to toll the running of the statute on his section 1983 claim by filing a civil action within two years of that date. The fact that plaintiff's section 1983 action may have been stayed by the federal courts pending final disposition of his state court appeal does not excuse his failure to file the action or render the filing a meaningless act. Plaintiff's filing within that period would have placed the defendants on notice that their conduct toward plaintiff was the subject of a civil suit filed against them personally. They would, thereby, have been given the opportunity to preserve evidence, locate witnesses, etc. As the case now stands, if the action is not declared time-barred, defendants would be compelled to defend a claim for conduct which occurred eight years before this action was filed, even though plaintiff had all the information necessary to initiate the action several years before it was filed. That is the exactly the type of result which the statute of limitations is intended to prevent.
Tolling of the statute
Under the circumstances, it is clear that Smith's cause of action on any claim[11] stemming from the prosecution's alleged concealment of the lifters, whether cast as the denial of a fair trial, the denial of due process or the denial of equal protection, accrued on the date he learned of the concealment.
His claim can, therefore, be rendered timely only if the statute was tolled for some reason. State tolling provisions apply to section 1983 claims. Hardin v. Straub, 490 U.S. 536, 538-39, 109 S. Ct. 1998, 2000-01, 104 L. Ed. 2d 582 (1989) and Board of Regents v. Tomanio, 446 U.S. 478, 100 S. Ct. 1790, 64 L. Ed. 2d 440 (1980). Any basis for tolling must, therefore, be found in Pennsylvania law. Unlike some other states, Pennsylvania law does not toll the running of the statute during a period of incarceration. 42 Pa. Cons.Stat.Ann. § 5554. Sandutch, supra, 684 F.2d at 254, citing Jones v. Bombeck, 375 F.2d 737, 739 (3d Cir.1967) (per curiam) and Hooper v. Guthrie, 390 F. Supp. 1327, 1331 n. 6 (W.D.Pa.1975). The fact that he was incarcerated until 1992 does not, therefore, afford Smith a basis for tolling the running of the statute.
In summary, it is clear from the undisputed facts that plaintiff's causes of action for the denial of a fair trial, equal protection[12] and due process accrued no later than February, 1989, the date he knew that the prosecution had failed to turn over exculpatory evidence. Nothing delayed the start of the limitations period or tolled it once it began. Plaintiff, therefore, had two years from the date of accrual to file a section 1983 claim against those members of the prosecution team allegedly responsible for concealing the lifters. This action was filed in September, 1993, well beyond the limitations period.
Smith's constitutional claim for malicious prosecution[13] is the only claim remaining. We examine it separately from the others, since it has a different accrual date.
The statute of limitations did not begin to run on plaintiff's malicious prosecution claim until the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered his discharge from state custody and ruled any retrial barred by the doctrine of Double Jeopardy. It was not until that time that plaintiff could establish all four elements required to state a cause of action for malicious prosecution. In this Circuit, proof that the underlying proceedings *236 terminated in the plaintiff's favor is essential to stating a claim for malicious prosecution.[14]
Although plaintiff's malicious prosecution claim is timely, it is clearly barred on other grounds. After briefing on defendants' summary judgment motion was concluded,[15] the United States Supreme Court decided Albright v. Oliver, ___ U.S. ___, 114 S. Ct. 807, 127 L. Ed. 2d 114 (1994) (Rehnquist, C.J., plurality opin.).[16]Albright, supra, abrogates the right to proceed on a malicious prosecution claim under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. While there was no majority consensus on the rationale for the Court's holding, a majority of the justices agreed, for various reasons, that there is no substantive due process right under the Fourteenth Amendment to proceed on a claim of malicious prosecution. The Supreme Court left open the possibility that such a right may exist under the Fourth Amendment, a right not invoked here. See plaintiff's complaint.
The only basis cited by Smith for his malicious prosecution claim is the Fourteenth Amendment, a basis eliminated by the Court's holding in Albright, supra. Judgment will, therefore, be entered in favor of defendants on plaintiff's malicious prosecution claim on that ground.
While we are not suggesting that plaintiff was not done a grave injustice if the facts alleged are true, the delayed filing of his action bars this court from hearing the claim. The facts indicating what was known by plaintiff and his counsel and when it was known, are not disputed. We, therefore, have no choice but to grant summary judgment in defendants' favor on all claims, and an order will be issued to that effect.

[6] Plaintiff takes issue with defendants' separation of the claims pled into distinct causes of action and argues that only one cause of action has been pled, that claim being for malicious prosecution.
Plaintiff argues, in his opposing brief, that defendants' acts were part of a continuing course of conduct which began in 1985, just days after the conclusion of plaintiff's trial, when state authorities first discovered, and decided to conceal, the lifters, and continued through plaintiff's discharge from state custody in 1992. He argues that defendants' acts must, therefore, be considered and analyzed as a single, continuous wrongful act.
This argument is at odds with the complaint, which plainly asserts no less than four distinct causes of action. Plaintiff alleges claims for the: 1) deprivation of life, liberty or property without due process of law; 2) denial of a fair trial in a criminal prosecution; 3) malicious prosecution; and 4) denial of equal protection of the laws. (Plaintiff's complaint, ¶ 40).
Presented with this curious inconsistency between the claims pled and plaintiff's subsequent interpretation of his own pleading, we will consider all of the claims pled in the complaint. We decline to adopt defendants' contention that plaintiff's failure to argue the viability of any claim other than one for malicious prosecution constitutes a waiver.
[7] Although other circuits, principally the Fifth and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal, hold that an action challenging the conduct of the prosecution may be brought at any time during the period of resulting incarceration, (See: Burge v. Parish of St. Tammany, 996 F.2d 786 (5th Cir.1993) (Statute of limitations on plaintiff's section 1983 claim for witness tampering and presenting false testimony to the jury deemed analogous to a common-law malicious prosecution claim such that the limitations period did not begin to run until plaintiff's conviction was reversed by the state Supreme Court); Serio v. Louisiana State Bd. of Pardons, 821 F.2d 1112, 1117 (5th Cir. 1987); Venegas v. Wagner, 704 F.2d 1144, 1146 (9th Cir.1983); Cline v. Brusett, 661 F.2d 108, 111-12 (9th Cir.1981); and Heller v. Plave, 743 F. Supp. 1553, 1571 (S.D.Fla.1990) (alleged conspiracy to wrongfully convict civil rights plaintiff "continued through two criminal trials based on false testimony," such that the statute of limitations on plaintiff's claim did not begin to run until his convictions were reversed on appeal.)), that is not the view adopted by the courts of this circuit.
[9] See p. 4 supra.
[10] See: plaintiff's complaint, ¶¶ 25 and 31.
[11] The sole exception is a claim for malicious prosecution, which is discussed below.
[12] Although this court questions the existence of an equal protection claim under the facts pled, that issue is not before us and we, therefore, do not address it. The statute of limitations is the only basis on which defendants seek summary judgment.
[13] We express no opinion on the viability of any potential state law claim for malicious prosecution, since none is pled.
[14] The other three elements which a plaintiff must allege and prove are: 1) that the defendant initiated criminal proceedings against him; 2) that the defendant executed the affidavit of probable cause in reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the statements made therein; and 3) that the defendant acted with actual malice or for a purpose other than bringing the plaintiff to justice. Lee v. Mihalich, 847 F.2d 66, 69-70 (3d Cir.1988). See also: Forster v. County of Santa Barbara, 896 F.2d 1146, 1148 (9th Cir.1990).
[15] Although the parties have not had an opportunity to brief this issue and we would, ordinarily, grant them such an opportunity before ruling, in this instance we see no purpose to be served by so doing. The Supreme Court's holding could not be clearer. There is no cause of action for malicious prosecution grounded in the right of substantive due process under the Fourteenth. Nothing the parties could argue could change this immutable fact.

Christopher Daming, Owner of Startup Legal and TechArtista Member, launched Legal GPS, innovative all-in-one digital legal solution for DIY entrepreneurs December 2017 in St. Louis, MO. Daming took some time to answer a few questions for us.
What made you develop Legal GPS?
I started my own law firm, Startup Legal, a few years ago, which was focused on helping entrepreneurs. After working in TechArtista for a few months, I learned more from the members about their specific legal problems and how they were solving them. I'd have people stop by my desk with a quick question or come into see me when I had free "office hours" on Friday. Most of the time, the answer to their specific question was really easy. But, I realized there were several issues they hadn't thought of when discussing.
They set up an LLC. So, did they had an operating agreement? And, did they assigned the IP to their company if they had multiple members?
They picked their business name. So, did they do a trademark search to make sure no one else already had the rights to that name already? Or, something similar?
I was noticing a pattern. Around that time, I had lunch with another TechArtista member, John Coveyou. I remember him saying something like, "You should create a bunch of videos about common legal topics." I wrote it down as a potential idea, but was irritated at the time thinking that it was another person underestimating the complexity of law and the value of attorneys.
The more I thought about this, I realized that about 80% of all legal problems people faced were DIY fixes. The only problem was that (1) they first needed to be aware of the legal problem before it affected their company and (2) they needed guidance on how to solve it. If you don't learn about the problem until it's too late, then nothing can really be done.
My favorite analogy is thinking about your first love. Things were always going to work out and you were going to spend the rest of your lives together. But how did that work out? Probably not as you expected.
Or, let's say you're going through a divorce. Things are already toxic, so you're not going to be able to convince your soon-to-be ex-spouse to sign a prenuptial agreement. You needed to do that when things were still going smoothly at the beginning.
The same goes for your business. Things always start off great, so you "know" you'll never have any disputes. But, everything changes eventually and you will need to have the proper measures in place so that your company isn't ruined after the first problem occurs.
I did interviews to learn more about the needs of the market and found that about 90% of entrepreneurs try to figure out their own legal issues via Google. Google is great if you know what to search for, but it's the issues you aren't aware of to research (I call them the "don't know you don't know" problems) that get people into trouble.
These are issues like your company being worth nothing because you don't actually even own your IP; or your partner quitting the company but still owning half of it; or you hiring an employee or contractor to help and they end up giving your secrets to a competitor.
For example, one client never knew she needed a written agreement with her contractor and realizing a year after her company launched that her contractor owned all the important IP to her company like elements of her website and logo and that the contractor could sell that to her competitor if he desired.
It was found that people were making the mistakes attorneys could usually prevent. Also, most of the issues could be done by entrepreneurs on their own instead of having to pay potentially over $11,000 in attorney's fees or taking precautionary legal measures to prevent legal mistakes that cause a business become insolvent.
People didn't want to hire attorneys because they either (1) thought they cost too much or (2) thought they weren't necessary. A few people told me in the interviews they didn't want to spend $500 on a contract that the attorney spends 15 minutes on and gives me a contract template I could find on Google for free.
For some things, this is true. When I still had my "you need to hire an attorney" hat on, I would struggle sometimes explaining to someone why they actually needed the attorney for a contract template that they could easily fill out themselves.
I started thinking about a solution that could make sure people could "know what they don't know", then give them guidance on how to solve it themselves. But, I didn't want to just solve a problem that didn't exist, so I looked into sites like LegalZoom.com and found that they had a similar problem that wasn't being solved. If you knew what contract template to look for on LegalZoom, then great, problem solved. But if you didn't, or didn't understand why you needed certain things in your contract or needed a certain contract, then those sites had the same problem Google had.
As a result, I founded LegalGPS.com to help entrepreneurs avoid making those legal mistakes they don't know they don't know.

LegalGPS.com is designed to help early stage companies get a solid legal foundation from the beginning, like freelancers, small businesses and startups. In general, a lot of our target market is in co-working spaces around the United States. But, we've also gotten more interest from other attorneys than originally imagined.
For more developed companies, the odds are they have a lot more complex legal issues that require an attorney for help. When you become a baller like Jorik or Guy (TechArtista members), you can spend $10k+ on attorney fees.
We've found that users gravitate more toward our product after they've already had a problem from a previous business. Those are the entrepreneurs that "know what they don't know" and want to avoid other problems this time around.
Right now, a big part of what we're doing is raising awareness about all these legal problems people "don't know they don't know." It's our mission to eliminate all avoidable legal mistakes made by entrepreneurs. As we grow, we're going to segment our content to more niche markets and be able to cover all types of professions and problems.
We want to get to a point where Legal GPS is the go-to product for new companies. It'll cover everything new businesses need to know and if the legal problem is something they can't do themselves we'll give them guidance on how to do it. If they need an attorney, we'll explain what they need the attorney for and why.
What feature of Legal GPS do you like most?
My favorite feature is the Legal Checkup. Whenever we were developing the product, we focused exclusively on creating a bunch of content. But, I realized that if we just offered content, the only way people could "know what they don't know" is if they watched/read/studied everything we offered. Unless you're a lawyer, there's almost no way you'd want do that.
We created the Legal Checkup to help expedite the "don't know you don't know" learning process. It's a questionnaire that gives you a diagnosis which explains your potential problems with links to the solutions.
Legal GPS is in Beta-mode right now, but I love the version we have. In the next couple months we will roll out additional Legal Checkups to help hit on more narrow subjects to save people time and offer more value. Eventually, we want to have the equivalent of a legal checkup to cover every issue to maximize awareness and minimize the amount of time people spend researching and solving their legal problems.
This seems like a pretty straightforward online app. If someone has a problem that they aren't able to figure out themselves, is there chat or someone to talk to IRL to help find the answers they're looking for?
One feature we'll offer soon is the Librarian Chat capability. We'll have someone from Legal GPS online 24/7 that, if someone has a question, the legal expert can point the user to the most appropriate content to help.
Sometimes you may need an attorney. The issue here is about lawyer ethics and establishing an attorney-client relationship. I'm personally licensed in Missouri and Illinois but we have users across the country. If you're in a different state than those two, I can't ethically provide legal advice. Our plan is to partner with attorneys in the most populous states we can either refer questions to or offer a premium plan that includes a feature like a certain amount of legal advice with an attorney.
This is a feature we're hoping to offer in the near future. For now, I personally email our users and give them my cell phone to call me if they have any questions. We're rapidly growing and have created a Founder's Group for our first 100 users, which gives those users priority as an appreciation for getting involved during the early stages.
What is the biggest legal mistake you see entrepreneurs make?
When it's too late, it really is too late. About half of my clients are entrepreneurs who come to me with a problem and then I ask, "did you do this, this or that?" And, it's usually "No." Then, the only solution is usually figuring out a way to try to buy out or sell to the person the client is in conflict with.
The biggest points about why Google is such a problem are that you (1) have to know about "it"; (2) have to know the "why"; (3) and have to know the pain of not following the why.
Here's a simple example. Let's say you're starting a new company. You Google what to look for and you find that you should file a document with a state to form an LLC. And you also learn that you need to do a search in your state database to make sure no one else has your name in that state.
Here, you have to know about "it" -- what's the legal problems you're overlooking? One is that you should've done a trademark search before settling on your business name.
If someone tells you to do that, more often than not it still won't prompt you to take action. You have to know the "why". Here the "why" is to make sure no one else has the business name you're going to use. That still might not be enough to cause you to take action. Let's say you're only going to operate in St. Louis and you see that there's also another company with the same name in California. You've done the trademark search and found that the person won't overlap with your business because of geographic reasons, so you "knew the it" and the "why" but you're still not taking action.
Then you have to know the "pain of not following the why". Here, it's because if someone has your business or trade name trademarked, they can later force you to change your business name. They can also sue you for damages, including any profits you might've had. They'll say that the only reason you got those profits was from profiting off their brand and goodwill. Suddenly you're faced with both a lawsuit and a requirement that you rebrand your entire business and lose all your goodwill.
You offer some free tools as well, tell us a little about that.
We have three free tools anyone can use.
The first is the Legal Score, where you are asked between 7-20 questions, are given a score and some ways to help you fix some of the problems based on your answers.
The second is our Complete Legal Guide for Entrepreneurs. It's on our website right now as an ebook. It covers some common avoidable legal mistakes entrepreneurs make and gives tips on how to prevent or fix them.
The third tool is soon to be released, which is our Avoidable Mistakes page. We've put together a list of 129 avoidable legal mistakes we've seen a lot of entrepreneurs make, depending on their business. We're taking those mistakes and writing a blog about approximately 80 of the most common ones and will have an animated example video explaining how the mistake could cause problems attached to it. We also plan to have an ebook with all the mistakes listed in it.

Millie Wuhrmann joined a large rambunctious family when her mother married widower Earl Yoho. As a result of the marriage, she suddenly went from being an only child to one of seven children. Of all of her siblings, she and her sister Neoma were very close. They attended nursing school together and later were roommates when the two worked as private nurses in Indianapolis and Chicago. When WWII broke out, they had wanted to join the Army. At the request of their father, who did not want them sent overseas, they postponed their enlistment. After their father died in 1944, the Army again put out a call for nurses. The two sisters joined the Army Nurses Corp with the understanding they would be stationed together.
While they were stationed at Lettermen Army Hospital in San Francisco, Millie met her future husband, "Mike" Wuhrmann. Mike and Millie were married in June, 1948. Three years later, Mike was transferred Anchorage, Alaska. They made the journey north, pulling a trailer with their belongings, along with their infant daughter, Karla, along the rough and primitive Alcan highway. It was in Alaska that they would welcome their second daughter, Mary Jo.
Several years later, while stationed in Wisconsin, Mike passed away. His wish was for Millie and their daughters to live near family. By that time Millie's sister was established in Lakewood, and Millie's mother was close by on Ashworth St. Millie moved with her daughters to Lakewood, and purchased the home next door to Neoma.
Millie was proud to have served her country during WWII and always had a special place in her heart for those in the "Service". She returned to nursing, and when the Naval Hospital in Long Beach opened, she started working there at one of the family clinics. She continued to provide care for the members of the country's armed forces, only this time as a civilian.
Millie lived in Lakewood for over two decades and saw both of her daughters graduate college and have careers. She and her sister, Neoma Miller, remained close and at family gatherings could be found telling stories of their time in the Army.
Millie lived in Lakewood for over 2 decades, arriving in 1958 as a young mother with two small children. She worked as a civilian nurse at the Naval Hospital in Long Beach from it's opening until her retirement.

Thread: Zeagle drysuits no more?
So after my recent 41 degree dive at Lake Murray I've been looking over the features of the various drysuit manufacturers in attempt to educate myself. I see that ST sells both the Zeagle drysuit, as well as the Pinnacle drysuit line which is now owned by Zeagle. When I look on Zeagle's website however I find a link which takes the to the Pinnacle offerings and no Zeagle drysuits are mentioned. Has Zeagle phased out the production of their own line in favor of the Pinnacle drysuits? If so could the remaining Zeagle's be offered at closeout pricing sometime in the future??

Technicolor Squid: New Car Day.
Oooh lovelies, today spiraled out of control and ended with a new used car in our driveway. You can read about it here.
It is very well treated and looks brand new. It has a little bit of detailing that I am not fond of, but I am going to find a place to remove it. A Beetle was always going to be my first car and now I have to learn to drive! Hugs! xox=vv.
Update: Has any one tried replacing photos? I wanted to replace this original photo with a scan but I am having troubles. Until then this is a photo of the newest beetle from the vw site and not the actual photo of our silver 2000 glx turbo beetle. This photo may be replaced again in the future. Yes, I am going scanner crazy! Hugs!
Oh a Beetle! How cute!!
how is the new car treating you?! i owe you an email, will get to it sometime today. i am on my break between classes and just wanted to say hi!
Yay! A bug! I've always wanted one. If they came up with one that had four doors, it would by my next car for sure! Congrats!


May 2019 be an Amazing Year! – Understated Italian Style. "Tips when In Milan so as not to feel a sore thumb among them. They have quiet admiration for those who "got it" as their understated rule's codes on how to dress. Conformity is key. Other cultures the more uniquely put together one is, the better. Not the case in Italy, especially in Milan. Admittedly, today it is not as much applied as in the past. But, understanding the Italian approach to fashion is equal to embracing the world's most elegant and cultivated form of self-presentation. Who wouldn't want to master that?"

May 2019 be an Amazing Year!
Five years in March my widowhood title has accompanied me. I am proud to have not been involved with anyone (almost – with three men to say the least), I am not married, and I am happy living a single life being on my own physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I now feel I am ready to face the world with a NEW me! I am pumped! I am seeing myself transforming into a person pre-married days but with a vast amount of knowledge I have accumulated all through life that has been amazingly bestowed upon me be it love, marriage, travel, family, friends, knowledge.
Today, I am going to declare, what 2019 has in store for me. It is what "I" have in store for 2019!
New me. No holds barred. Authentic me without walking on eggshells so as not to offend or hurt anyone as if the truth will go away if it is not said, shared or expressed. Take it or leave it! Albeit with respect.
Let's hurdle over the negatives. Shoot for the stars. Reach the sky. And be joyful in everything there is.

Here's How Hundreds of Alexandria Kids Got Free Backpacks and School Supplies Over the Weekend
James Cullum August 24, 2020 at 5:00pm
Former Alexandria City Councilman Willie Bailey has done it again. Over the weekend, Bailey and a large collection of supporting organizations, groups and volunteers gave out more than 800 backpacks full of school supplies and thousands of books, with ice cream on the side.
Bailey, a deputy fire chief for the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department, was raised in Alexandria and says he's just paying it forward.
"I'm just making sure these kids are able to succeed and do good and give back to society when they get old," Bailey told ALXnow. "And that they remember what someone once did for them. That's all."
The distributions took place at Charles Houston Recreation Center on Saturday and outside T.C. Williams High School on Sunday.
Bailey was joined by representatives from the Alexandria Police and Fire Departments, Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority, the Sheriff's office and the Departmental Progressive Club. The Alexandria nonprofit InspireLit was also on-hand and provided thousands of books for kids to take home.
ARHA representative Daynelle Diaz said that the supplies will have a major impact.
"We've had a lot of families that have either lost work or haven't been able to work," she said. "With no money coming in, this is a big relief, because even though kids are going to be online for school, they're still going to need supplies. This is a great weight off their shoulders."
City Councilman Canek Aguirre volunteered at the event and praised Bailey.
"My hat goes off to Willie Bailey," he said. "Just because of the pandemic, and he doesn't stop and he's here to help fill an important need. We're greatly appreciative to him for everything that he does for the city."
Bailey also said that his annual coat drive is still happening this fall.
ASO joined @AlexandriaVAFD, and APD to give school supplies to kids in need. Thanks to @ARHA39, Firefighters & Friends to the Rescue, Rec and DPC for putting this together! pic.twitter.com/S77WisAHBE

Jammu, July 12: Editor Early Times, Munish Gupta, on Friday asked people not to get carried away by the hollow slogans being raised by the leaders, who have reappeared on the scene after five years.
Carrying forward his mass contact programme in different areas, Munish said, "As the elections are coming closer politicians have started coming out of their shells and are telling the people that they can do anything for them."
"After five years they have realized that people are suffering in absence of basic amenities," said Munish, who would be contesting the forthcoming Assembly elections as an Independent candidate from Gandhi Nagar Assembly elections.
He said, "Time has come to send a strong message to the leaders who have represented us during all these years that they cannot take us for a ride forever."
Munish said, "I have come to my people with a message that we deserve a better deal and can't be left to fend on our own. The elected representatives have not been able to deliver. The localities and areas which I have visited during my mass contact programme present a dismal picture. The people have a common complaint that MLAs and counsellors just turned their backs towards them after getting elected."
He said, "Forthcoming Assembly elections are a golden opportunity for all of us to change our destiny by rejecting those who have misled us during all these years."
