Are you tired of being blocked in a 9-5 job? Does your cubbyhole make you nauseous? Do you daydream about a dream business? Well, I'm here to tell you that your dream business is more doable than you think. Your dream can come true especially if you offer a service like consulting, life coaching, therapy or healing. There are easy and progressive steps a service business can take to find more clients, do effective marketing and to offer their much needed service to the world.
If this is you … know this… the world needs you. Own that fact. If you weren't supposed to be pursuing your dream business then it wouldn't be showing up in your heart and mind as an extreme desire. If you want it badly than it's supposed to happen; it's not selfish, foolish or risky, it's ordained by the Universe. You are chosen and you have everything you need to accomplish what is expected of you. All you have to do is own it, listen to your inner guidance and do the work.
Below I have 3 steps that can help you launch your dream business. As you work the steps you will gradually create the energy of your service. To breathe life into your dream business; clarify your ideal client, clarify your dream business and explore what your life is trying to tell you.
Who is your ideal client? This is one of your most important steps. Because your entire marketing, website, brochures, listings and focus will rest on this description. Be careful not to fall into the mistake of thinking 'oh I help everybody'. If your target market is anybody than your target market is nobody. It is important to know your ideal client the way you know the back of your hand.
Know what makes your client worry. What does s/he need? What keeps them up at night? What are their ambitions? What need do you fulfill? What can you do to help them? How are you the answer? Once you have the answers to these questions, you will sharpen your focus. That will make your marketing, self-promotion, website and social media pages …tight and on target.
What is your job description? What exactly do you do? If you sell a service, be clear what that is. What is your product? You can have prepackaged programs, package deals or you can sell hours for dollars. Decide if you will work with out-of-state clients and if you will do Skype. Or maybe in the case for example of a Reiki master or massage therapist you can only do one on one. Do you have an office or do you work from home? What is your title? Does your title tell what you do? If not, re-design your title so it does. You're your own boss, you can do that.
Make your vision clear. Only then can you build your dream business to the empire you desire. Before a desire can become reality, it must first be a strong and present energy; much like an embryo (the intention). The rest of the work will be the nurturing of the embryo that will grow into the dream business you will birth one day.
Who are you? What is your story? It is important to know what makes you different from others who do similar work. You will find the answer to these questions in your life story. Your journey is often your message. Listen to what your life is trying to tell you. If you do, your dream business will be in alignment with who you authentically are.
Clients love that. They love that your life reflects your teachings and that your life addresses what they have gone through. Too often what makes us special we often think is our flaw. The truth is your 'flaws' make you relatable. The difference is if you lead with your flaws …you are by definition a victim. However if you overcome your 'flaws', you become the victor and that becomes your message. It's what sets you above the competition.
The obstacles that you overcame become the nucleus to your product and/or service. That's what makes you different. With that understanding, you will be able to describe your product, your programs, and your business model. That is authenticity.
Bonus step #4: Get out of your own way. The secret to building a dream business; is to get out of your own way. Your collection of doubts, fears and feelings of unworthiness is usually the only blocks there are. Your negativity is your heart-wall. Once you have broken through the emotional blocks ideas come, paths open and clients appear.
Follow these important 3 steps (and your bonus step) and experience your dream business take form. Experience it growing legs and standing up to support you someday.

Rejoice and merry in songs and in mirth!
This is a jaunty and original setting of the popular carol 'Rejoice and be merry', flexibly scored so that the tenor and bass parts are optional. It has been recorded by Tenebrae (conducted by Nigel Short) on the album A Very English Christmas (SIGCD902).

Government waste is not OK
Sorry, kids, but this Halloween I'm giving out hand sanitizer. Enjoy.
Not to brag, but pretty sure I can air drum "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins better than you. Prove me wrong.
Bringing you up to date in Kansas City
Sometimes it's like deja vu all over again
Someone asked me if The Landmark would be making endorsements for president and governor. My response was in the year 2020, The Landmark endorses the concepts of sanity and science.
If your candidate follows the concepts of sanity and science, then boom, The Landmark just endorsed your candidate.
Does anybody listen to morning traffic reports on the radio? Does Johnny Rowlands still fly around in his chopper and sell his traffic talk segments to Kansas City radio or TV stations? Is this still a thing?
I started this conversation half in jest but now I'm curious. I've always refused to turn on the TV in the mornings and these days while getting ready for work I'm listening to a Sirius XM station based in Las Vegas, so I don't know the answer. I've never been in a position to need a traffic update on a morning drive so I never paid attention to all the fast-talking reports anyway. I would hear them but I didn't listen to them. There's a difference. They were like background noise. Like less pleasing elevator music, if you will.
In the age of smart phone navigation apps that automatically update your best route based on existing traffic conditions, surely Johnny Rowlands will be retiring that chopper soon, if he hasn't already. I mean the upkeep on that thing has to be ridiculous.
Not to say I told you so, but to my NFL-watching buddies who disagreed with me in the off-season (you know who you are, don't make me name names) when I said Tom Brady still had some juice left in the tank and will be successful in Tampa Bay. . . how ya like me now? Brady has been tearing it up the last few weeks and the Buccaneers look like a team with a great chance to be the NFC representative in the Super Bowl, which by the way, is played in Tampa this season.
Go ahead and mark your calendars for Sunday, Nov. 29. That's the day our Chiefs travel to Tampa. Mahomes vs. Brady again. Can't wait.
Let's be honest, the NFL is more fun when we have a good version of Tom Brady to root against.
The most lame quote of the local political season? It was a swampish doozie unleashed by Joe Vanover, Republican candidate for second district county commissioner.
By the way, Vanover is a super nice guy. But if elected, he just won't have the motivation or the tummy to challenge the two other commissioners he would be serving with. There will be no diversity of thought, no fresh ideas, no one pushing for public input and greater transparency and wiser spending decisions.
Go ahead, cut out this column and tuck it in a drawer. We can gladly revisit it in a couple years. I'm right on this, and my hard core Republican friends who will only vote for an "R", you know I'm right on this. You're just afraid to admit it. You'll vote for Vanover anyway because he's a super good dude and has an "R" after his name. But I'll remind you of this column when you get buyer's remorse, because with Joe in office you're gonna get more of the same ol' same ol' cronyism of the past few years. The fact that the current commissioners are financially supporting Vanover's campaign tells you all you need to know.
Don't feel bad, we all get some of them wrong. Yours truly included. Heck, there was a time in 2016 when I sung the praises of Dagmar Wood and wrote that she would be good on the county commission. My gawd, did I miss that one. Makes me want to walk around with a "kick me" sticker on my backside.
Back to the most lame quote of the political season. Vanover was asked about the county commission's controversial CARES grant allocation, which county commissioners are charged with distributing:
"I'm not going to criticize how they've done it. Any time the federal government is giving away free money we should take what we can get and it's easy for there to be controversy," Vanover told our reporter.
Good grief. You know what else is easy? A candidate who lacks a spine. Or an elected official with no desire to do the right thing.
And, unfortunately, you know what else is easy? Finding a public servant who thinks it's okay to waste government money as long as he/she is the one wasting it.
Going back to my point about diversity in thought. Having a set of officeholders who all think alike is a dangerous thing. We're seeing that now on the Platte County Commission. We're seeing that now at the City of Parkville. One thing I've learned in covering local politics for 38 years is that public boards are better when there are elected officials with differing backgrounds and different viewpoints chiming in with opinions. A little intellectual conflict among board members is not a bad thing. It keeps everyone on his/her toes and the result is a better 'product' for the general public.
If you want diversity in thought, the willingness to seek public input, the courage to speak up in disagreement, a desire to do the right thing not necessarily the easiest thing, David Park is the better county commission candidate in the second district race. As a member of the general public, Park for at least two years has attended nearly every county commission meeting. He is an educated professional and is well versed on the issues facing the county. He can provide the diversity in thought the current county commission sorely lacks.

In the good times of the Constantinian Church, every advertisement in a Catholic newspaper was carefully analyzed before being accepted. Any inconvenience it might have was a motive to reject the ad. The principle behind that vigilant attitude was that a Catholic paper must be a model of Catholic Faith and Morals. The editors and journalists also had the clear notion that they were accountable before God for every word printed, photo chosen or ad allowed.
Today, we have the official organ of the Holy See, L'Osseratore Romano, promoting an advertisement for massages on the portal of its English edition (June 23, 2013), above. The ad was paid by the MSC cruise company, which offers a free series of massages for the Catholics who purchase one of its tickets.
The ad on the top of the page reads: "For you, a massage is included. Mention this offer." The ad in the middle left of the page reads: "Enjoy the relaxation of a MSC cruiser."

O. Panneerselvam Biography
O. Panneerselvam
Full Name O. Panneerselvam
Constituency Bodinayakanur
Political Party All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK)
Place of Birth Periyakulam, Tamil Nadu
Education Graduate
Spouse Name Mrs. Vijayalakshmi
Children Three Childrens
Father's Name Ottakara Thevar
Mother's Name Palaniammal Naachiar
Position held 2nd Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (21 August 2017)
About O. Panneerselvam
O. Panneerselvam, the trusted aide of AIADMK supremo J. Jayalalithaa, was served as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu following the demise of J. Jayalalithaa in office on December 6, 2016 to February 16, 2017. Panneerselvam had earlier been appointed the chief minister of Tamil Nadu when Jayalalithaa was convicted in the 18-year-old disproportionate assets (amounting to Rs. 66.65 crore) corruption case by a Bangalore Special Court. That was the second time Panneerselvam stepped into the shoes of Jayalalithaa since 2001, the year he made his debut in the Assembly. He was chosen by 'Amma' in 2001 as her replacement for the CM's chair when she had to step down because of the TANSI land scam conviction. Panneerselvam had to make way for his mentor J. Jayalalithaa a second time in May 2015, when she was acquitted by the Karnataka High Court in the disproportionate assets case. Subsequently, Jayalalitha was sworn-in as the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on 23 May, 2015.
Earlier, Panneerselvam, who had started his career as a tea stall owner, held important portfolios in Jayalalitha's cabinet – Public Works, Revenue and Finance. O. Panneerselvam was the first CM of Tamil Nadu who belonged to the Thevar community, which is one of the largest and loyal vote banks of the AIADMK, and was seen by many as one of the main reasons Jayalalithaa selected a person from this community.
Personal Life of O. Panneerselvam
Panneerselvam was born on 14 January, 1951 in Periyakulam, Tamil Nadu. He started his career as a tea stall owner. He also owned some agricultural land. Though the Tamil Nadu assembly website says that he is a graduate, many notable quarters maintain that he had passed Class 12 but couldn't complete his graduation at Haji Karutha Ravuthar Kavuthiya Arts College, Uthamapalayam, due to several reasons. He is married to P. Vijayalakshmi and the couple is blessed with three children.
Political Career of O. Panneerselvam
The 64-year-old started his political career by becoming the chairman of Periyakulam Municipality in 1996 and fulfilled his responsibilities till 2001. It was in 2001 that he contested as an AIADMK candidate from the Periyakulam Assembly constituency and won. A staunch 'Amma' loyalist, he became the Revenue Minister in her government and held the office from 19 May 2001 to 1 September 2001. It was during this time that Jayalalitha was barred by the Supreme Court from holding the CM's office as she was convicted in the TANSI land scam. She chose O Panneerselvam to hold the Chief Minister's office. The tenure lasted for six months, from 21 September 2001 to 1 March 2002. Dramatic enough, Panneerselvam never sat on the CM's chair, similar to what 'Bharat' did in the absence of 'Ram' in the epic Ramayana. During those six months, his government was accused of being a 'puppet government', micro-managed by Jayalalithaa.
Once Jayalalithaa's conviction was overturned by the apex court of India, O. Panneerselvam made way for Jayalalithaa by resigning from the CM's position on 1 March 2002. From 2 March 2002 to 13 December 2002, he was the Minister for Public Works, Prohibition and Excise. Subsequently, he was also entrusted with the Revenue department's charge from 13 December 2002 to 2006. For two weeks in May 2006, he also served as the Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu assembly and was also selected as the leader of the AIADMK legislative party. He was again entrusted with the responsibility of being the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on 27 September, 2014 when Jayalalitha was convicted in the disproportionate assets case. In 2015, after getting acquitted in the Disproportionate Assets case, Jayalalithaa took over as the state's CM. In the 2016 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, the AIADMK returned to power and Jayalalithaa became the chief minister of Tamil Nadu for the record sixth time. Panneerselvam was appointed as the Finance Minister in Jaya's cabinet. When she succumbed to a major cardiac arrest in December, 2016, Panneerselvam was chosen as her successor.

A CMO's View: Denny's purpose-driven marketing puts spotlight on brand's revitalization efforts
Denny's has been changing their marketing strategy in order to better reflect the reasons why Denny's was opened in the first place: to feed people. Denny's wants to be America's modern diner, and the brand has been taking some big steps toward being more present in the lives of Americans, such as becoming more involved on social media. It has also pledged to accept diversity and work to show that diversity in their business.
In recent years, Denny's has undergone a major revitalization that has touched on everything from the restaurant's marketing strategy to its menu items, and even the remodel of its locations.
Inspired by Denny's founder, Harold Butler, who once said the reason he opened the original restaurant was because he loved to feed people, the brand's purpose-driven marketing initiatives are focused on feeding people's stomachs, as well as their souls.
According to the CMO, his brand has learned to embrace this diversity and use it to fuel Denny's social media efforts.

Q: Django: return decimal instead of strange object I have a model with a decimal field.  The output of:
def special_method(self):
    return MyClass.objects.filter(product=self).order_by('-date_active')[0:1]

on this model is:
[<MyClass: 10.00>]

... and I have defined the following method on MyClass:
def __str__(self):
    return str(self.rate)

This may be a silly question but how do I correctly return the decimal number instead of this strange object?
Thanks.

A: myclass_instance.rate will give you the decimal number.
[edit]
Your method will then be something like:
def special_method(self):
    return MyClass.objects.filter(product=self).order_by('-date_active')[:1].values_list('rate', flat=True)

Or you might be able to do something like:
def special_method(self):
    return self.myclass_set.order_by('-date_active')[:1].values_list('rate', flat=True)

A: You're using filter, which always returns a QuerySet - a list-like collection of multiple instances - even if only one item is matched. You should use .get() instead, which will return a single item, and then you can access the .rate property on the returned instance.

Charitable Status in Ireland
TO BE A RECOGNISED AND LEGAL CHARITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND YOU MUST BE ON THE REGISTER OF CHARITIES MAINTAINED BY THE CHARITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
YOU MUST HAVE A CHARITY REGISTRATION NUMBER.
Charities Regurlatory Authority
CRA registration is the first step to CHY registration
CHY Revenue Ireland
Bodies with charitable tax exemption
Resident charities and approved bodies – Tax relief on donations
Non resident charities and approved bodies – Tax relief on donations
The Charities Regulatory Authority was formally established on 16 October 2014.The Charities Regulatory Authority (CRA), and the Revenue Commissioners are two distinct bodies. It is the CRA that has responsibility for the registration and regulation of charities in Ireland, not the Revenue Commissioners.
All charities in Ireland are legally required to register with the CRA and to have a charity registration number – since October 2014, this is the number which identifies an organisation as a charity in the eyes of the law and the public, and the number which is now legally required to appear on all printed/fundraising materials, website, email signatures etc.
Charities which were registered with the Revenue Commissioners for charitable tax exemption purposes (i.e.: had a CHY number) as at 16 October 2014, were automatically placed on the Register of Charities. Click here for further information on what to do if you are in this category.
Charities in Ireland that do not already have a CHY number from the revenue Commissioners can also apply to the Revenue Commissioners for charitable tax exemption and may receive a CHY number. This number is only relevant for tax exemption purposes i.e.: it relates to the organisation's relationship with Revenue only, and not to its legal status as a charity.
No charity is legally required to apply to Revenue for a CHY number unless they wish to avail of charitable tax exemption schemes – an organisation may do so on an optional basis. An organisation must be a registered charity with the CRA before applying to the Revenue Commissioners.
Any organisation which is a charity, refers to itself as a charity or creates the impression in the public mind that it is a charity, is legally required to be registered with the CRA.
Click here to learn more about registering with the CRA.
Should I apply? See Charities Regulator advice page.
Based on advice from the CRA iMAP has informed all existing and new partners and project of iMAP of the necessity to be fully compliant with the CRA regulations. Any applicants for partnership with iMAP should first check with the Charities Regularity Authority to see if they need to be registered.
There is no doubt that a charity in Ireland working in or outside of Ireland fits in this category. Partners / projects of iMAP are responsible for their own registration with CRA.

Where protector is predator: 87 century-old timber trees sold
Eighty-seven century old timber trees valued at about Tk five crore on the Chuadanga-Meherpur highway have been sold out to a local BNP leader at only Tk 51 lakh. The buyer is now felling the trees ignoring protests by local people and leaders of political parties including Awami League, Jamaat-e-Islami, and, also BNP. The political leaders have demanded probe into the matter. This correspondent during a visit to the area on Saturday saw about 100 labourers felling the trees with electric saws and taking away the logs by about 20 trucks. The Meherpur Zila Parishad sold the trees to Meherpur Sadar BNP General Secretary Saiful Islam. To give the process a legal cover, bidding was done, albeit with alleged irregularities, sources claimed.
A ruling party lawmaker from Meherpur was also allegedly involved in the process by getting it approved by the ministry concerned, highly placed sources in the district administration told this correspondent. The 87 trees are among 170 on the 128 kilometers Meherpur-Chuadanga highway. The trees are looked after by the Roads and Highway Department (RHD). Meherpur district administration took decision to sell 87 of the tress and wrote to the Zila Parishad to arrange a bidding. But RHD claimed ownership of the tress and wrote to the district administration not to sell those without its consent. On the other hand, the Zila Parishad also claimed ownership of the tress. To resolve the dispute between RHD and Zila Parishad, district administration called a meeting of District Development Committee on May 11. The meeting vested ownership of the trees to the Zila Parishad and approved sale of 87 tree out of 170. The meeting was presided over by Meherpur Deputy Commissioner (DC) Nurunnabi Talukdar. No representative of RHD attended the meeting following alleged threats from local ruling party men, the sources said.
On the following day, the Zila Parishad gave an advertisement in two Dhaka-based dailies, seeking for bids for purchase of the trees. The advertisement was published in city editions of the dailies. So, only the people involved in the process knew it, keeping other prospective buyers in the district in the dark, the sources claimed. Only three tenders were dropped, one by Saiful and two others by 'his men', the sources claimed. The Zila Parishad on June 5 accepted Saiful's bid which quoted the price of 87 tress at Tk 51 lakh. The two other bids quoted the prices at Tk 48.20 lakh and Tk 47 lakh. Immediately after acceptance of his bid, Saiful engaged a large number of labourers to fell the trees. The sources claimed that over 14, 83,800 cubic feet of valuable timber would be available from the 87 trees, market price of which is about Tk five crore. When contacted on Sunday, Saiful denied any wrongdoing in the process. "They floated tender and I submitted a bid. My bid was accepted and I bought the trees", he said.
The bids were opened at the District Council office in presence of officials and Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) personnel, he said. "I may have to incur loss in selling the timber as many of the trees have deep holes because those are very old", he further claimed. Capt. Arif of Kushtia Rab said a team headed by him was present when the bids were opened. When contacted over cell phone, Meherpur Nurunnabi Talukdar told this correspondent, "We informed the matter to the Local Government Ministry and it allowed the Zila Parishad to sell the tress". The committee then approved the sale, he said. R&H Sub-assistant engineer Liaqat ali filed a case with Meherpur Sadar thana against the sale but police did not take any action. When contacted, ruling party lawmaker Masud Arun said, "Those trees are very old. We want to plant saplings and bring about a green revolution in the area". Some Kushtia-based newspapers also published reports on the matter, which drew the attention of political leaders. Protesting the sale, former lawmaker from the area Prof Abdul Mannan held a rally in the area on July 1, 2005.
Jatiya Party leader and Meherpur Municipal Chairman Motasim Billa talking on the issue said, "What can we do if the protector becomes the predator. BNP leaders are supposed to protect the trees but they are destroying those" Meherpur BNP Vice-president Alamgir Alam Chhatu said, "BNP will have to bear the burden of what the party lawmaker has done" Amjhupi Union Parishad Chairman and BNP leader Borhan Uddin Chunu also protested the sale of the big old trees. They have demanded proper into the matter. A top Jamaat leader in the district said over cell phone, "I strongly protest the incident" (Chuadanga Kushtia: Amamur Aman, Daily Star, July 26, 2005).

How Fleetwood Mac Changed When Christine McVie Joined The Lineup
By William Kennedy/Dec. 1, 2022 10:15 am EST
After a brief illness, singer-songwriter Christine McVie died peacefully on November 30 at the age of 79, according to a post on behalf of the McVie family on her official Instagram account. The exact nature of the illness was not disclosed, though last June she told Rolling Stone she was in "quite bad health," especially plagued with debilitating back problems. McVie was in the hospital and surrounded by family when she died, the McVie family statement read (via CNN). Fleetwood Mac also confirmed the death of their bandmate on Twitter.
Born in 1943, McVie, also a solo artist, was perhaps best known for her work with the English-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. McVie was married to Fleetwood Mac band member John McVie when she joined the already-established group in 1970. At that time, Fleetwood Mac was known for playing blues-rock music, and founding member Peter Green had just recently left the lineup, as Smooth Radio explains. With McVie in the band, Fleetwood Mac released "Rumours," one of the best-selling albums in history (per AllMusic). Only a matter of months before she died, the musician told The Guardian that her place in the band was far from assured, and her addition helped change the band's overall sound and direction.
McVie played in a band called Chicken Shack before she joined Fleetwood Mac

Born Christine Perfect, McVie (pictured) married Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie in 1968. Her father was a college professor and concert violinist, and she was training to be a classical pianist, a career objective thoroughly derailed when she discovered American rock and roll, writes Rolling Stone. Early on in her career, she played in a British blues-rock band called Chicken Shack, with a sound not unlike early Fleetwood Mac. With that, Christine was a rare woman in a 1960s-era blues-rock music scene dominated for the most part by men, according to her 2022 interview with The Guardian. Of those early days, Christine said (via The Guardian), "there were very few women, especially playing the blues, but I never felt singled out."
She continued, "It just all came very naturally to me when I was with Chicken Shack and things started happening for them. ... It just all fell into place and was really fantastic." Because of her connection to Chicken Shack and blues music, and her marriage to John McVie, Christine may have seemed a good fit when Peter Green left the group. According to Christine, though, when she was approached to play keyboards in the band, she felt the band's sound might have to change. Not long after she joined, Fleetwood Mac moved to the U.S. to begin their most successful pop era after two more musicians, Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, joined the lineup (via Britannica).
Chicken Shack opened for Fleetwood Mac
As McVie went on to explain in her 2022 Guardian interview, her early band Chicken Shack opened for Fleetwood Mac, and one day after Peter Green left, the band was rehearsing in their U.K. practice space as McVie socialized with the wives of other band members. As McVie recalled, the band emerged from their rehearsal room and said, "'Hey Chris, do you want to join?' I couldn't believe my luck," McVie said. "Are you serious?!" she responded. "I'm just a girl who plays piano ... The style had to change because I was a keyboard player," McVie continued, and as a result, the music "developed a more commercial bent. It was thrilling, and I have to say to this day it still kind of is, knowing that I did that," McVie said.
In 2020, Fleetwood Mac founding member Mick Fleetwood also remembered his band's transformation during this time period, speaking with Ultimate-Guitar.com. "(W)e sort of disappeared. And then we went to America and came back sometime later with a very different lineup," Fleetwood said, and as result, fans responded, "Oh my God, it's a different band!' But for me and John (McVie, bass) and Christine (McVie, vocals and keyboards) to some large extent, we just morphed our way without really realizing we were changing that much because we were just carrying on undercover in a different country," Fleetwood added. According to Smooth Radio, Christine and John McVie divorced in 1976 but continued to perform in Fleetwood Mac together.


It's been a while since I visited this site and even longer since I posted. But some of the old-timers here might remember me from many years back. Officer.com has always been a source of great information and direction, and that's why I'm back.
Here's the very short version of my story.
I work FT in advertising sales, doing essentially the same job with the same company for the last 17 years. It's provided me a very good income over the years and lots of flexibility in how I do my job.
Seven years ago I attended police academy in night school. For the last six years I've been employed as a part-time officer for two departments, working an average of 2-3 shifts per week.
I love law enforcement. I hate my day job, for reasons too numerous to get into here. Twice now I've had the opportunity to become FT LE with the highest-paying department in our area. The problem is, that income is still only about 50% of what I (and my family) are used to. For this reason, as well as many others, I've decided not to pursue a FT career in LE.
However, I've decided I need to make a career move. I was looking for something that will provide me an income that's at least closer to what I currently earn, but be a little more closely related to law enforcement/investigations. I plan to continue on in my PT capacity as an officer.
I've had two career options suggested: insurance company investigator and state government regulatory enforcement (I happen to live in close proximity to 6-10 insurance companies' HQs, as well as our state capital).
-Does a person with my employment history stand a chance in obtaining something in either of those fields?
-Where can I go or who can I talk to to learn more about these areas?
-What kind of competition am I likely to run up against in my job hunt?
-Are there other fields that satisfy my wants that I may have overlooked?
At this point I am open to all information anyone is willing to provide.
Caution and worry never accomplished anything.
"Now, what is the rule?" "Protect myself at all times."
I guess I hadn't really thought about LP, and I'm glad you bring it up.
My only exposure to those in LP are the ones working the grocery stores in my area, usually when I get called for shoplifter pickups. My impression is that the salaries associated with this kind of work are lower than what I'd be looking for. But maybe my view of the field is narrow. If anyone has any extra insight on that, I'd certainly welcome it. I'll also check out the website you suggested.
My experience with high level LP managers is that they are promoted from within and/or have significant LP experience with another company. IMO, a guy like you is not going to get a well paid LP job.
Do you have a degree? Most of these positions require a degree or significant police experience. Entry level ins. investigators don't make much money, either. They are also subject to the whims of the insurance industry and you may find yourself without a job after a merger, downsizing, etc.
I'm guessing you live in the midwest. What kind of money are we talking about. If you don't want to say what you make, tell me how much you are looking for. Without knowing anymore than I do, I'm guessing that you are going to have to move into a smaller house and have a major lifestyle change.
This is not always true, I know from first hand experience that someone coming from the outside could get hired on at a high position. Places like Traget and Wal-Mart will SOMETIMES start in the $100K plus pay range.
Places like Traget and Wal-Mart will SOMETIMES start in the $100K plus pay range.
In the past we have only hired from within. And usually we look for job related experience figuring that a person with the right attitude can be taught to investigate.
With advertising sales as a background, I'd look for a compliance type position in that field. Then you could use your prior job experience.
While anything is possible, I would consider that scenario beyond the realm of probability given what we know about the kirch's experience. Out of curiosity, what was the background and education of this 100K LP man?
Another angle has been presented to me, via PM. Maybe some others here can shed some more light on it.
I originally considered private investigative work, something I've done on a limited basis for a short time in the past. I liked the work, but I knew that getting into the field at my experience level would likely mean pay lower than the police work I've already passed on.
It's been suggested that I could serve a role in business development for a PI/Security company. That way I can lead with my strongest asset, namely, nearly 20 years of experience in sales, marketing and advertising. But I can parlay that role into some investigative work as part of the job. As it was presented to me, there is no shortage of people in that field with prior LE/investigative experience, but the sales/marketing/management backgrounds are pretty thin.
Hopefully there's a regional difference; I can only speak to my limited experience in CA. I've known a number of cops who have left LE and gone private, some who I worked with as cops at my department and others who were already private with whom I worked as counterparts when i was a detective.
Here, there is a decent chance you will face competition for corporate investigative positions (where the real money is) from retired cops. There are a lot of corporations with internal investigative branches, and it seems that everyone I've spoken with says that they prefer former cops with investigative experience as detectives. It makes sense; if you want a good pilot you hire someone who was trained by the government (military); if you want a good investigator you also hire one who has done it full time and been properly trained by other full timers (LE).
Corporate is where I see guys making big bucks, and by that I mean more than they made as cops. Heck one bank investigator I worked cases with was a retired captain, and made more at the bank than he did as a captain! That still might not measure up to the salary you're used to, I don't know. Either way, were you here, you'd probably be submitting an app against a retired cop who has years of investigative experience under his belt already and the connects that come with it.
I don't mean to bust any bubbles ... just giving my perceptions. If you're used to making twice what a cop makes I just don't see a LE/security/PI job that's going to meet what you're used to.
Either way, I hope you prove me wrong! Best of luck to you.
No offense taken. I knew from the get-go that I have my work cut out for me and walking in to the 'perfect job' might be nothing more than a pipe dream. That's why I'm here, doing my research and looking for solid advice and ideas. That's what this and other sites are great for.
And you've just provided me another area of inquiry -- banks. Thanks!
He was a Major in he Marines and had a B.S. Pretty crazy huh? I didnt believe him at first.
At Wal-Mart the most you will make as a salaried LP Manager is around 65,000 a year plus a 10% bonus depending on how well the sales and accidents are in your particular store. I believe you can make more at Target but not much more. The money would be in positions where you are over several stores such as a District LP Manager or Investigator. I know for a fact that people with LE background get considered for positions like these. Good luck.
Again, without knowing what you consider to be a bare bones salary, you will need to find one of the major national/international security or PI firms to make a living doing business development. The small and mid level operations simply can't afford you. I seriously doubt that they will allow you to do business devopment and PI work. I have known a few PIs and that line of work (from what I have been told) is generally feast or famine. Again, without knowing anymore than I do, you seem to have an entry level skill set for LE but you want the salary of a command officer or regional manager. That is not going to happen. There are simply to many retired police supervisors and federal agents out there. You cannot compete against that. In order to get out of your line of work and get into LE it sounds like you (and your family) are going to have to make a significant sacrifice that you are not ready to make. Nothing wrong with that. You need to think about your family.
Is the reverse beneficial as well? Experience in private sector investigations, then parlaying that in to governmental investigations and/or law enforcement? I know a few folks that have retired into the private industry from LE careers or investigative positions, but not many that started in the private sector then moved in to civil service or governmental jobs.

Fact Sheet: New Proposal on Tobacco Regulation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership
EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
NEW U.S. PROPOSAL ON TOBACCO REGULATION IN THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
The Obama Administration plans to table a new proposal on tobacco at the upcoming Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations in Brunei that builds on policies and approaches used in past agreements. We are moving forward with this proposal after seeking input from stakeholders, including health advocates, farmers, industry stakeholders, and others. We have been reviewing feedback on this issue for some time, and have engaged in extensive communication with Congress and other stakeholders. We will continue this engagement as we now move forward with a proposal that we believe is the best way to advance the Administration's public health policy objectives in a manner consistent with our trade policy objectives.
Elements of Revised TPP Tobacco Proposal
• The TPP agreement will, like other trade agreements, contain a general exception for matters necessary to protect human life or health. We will propose including a provision indicating that the TPP Parties understand that general exception applies to tobacco health measures.
• We will also propose adding a provision requiring that before a Party initiates a challenge through TPP dispute settlement to another Party's tobacco regulatory measure, the health authorities of the concerned Parties shall meet to discuss the measure. These two elements work together to preserve the right to regulate tobacco products domestically.
• Finally, the market access element of the proposal will remain unchanged, consistent with long-standing trade and agriculture policy. As we do for other products, we will continue to press for the elimination of tariffs on U.S. agriculture exports, which, by their very nature, discriminate against American farmers.

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has availed US$51.23 million in aid to Zimbabwe to help drought-prone smallholder rural farmers to improve access to inputs, irrigation and adopt smart farming practices in the face of the predicted El Nino induced drought.
This was revealed by the visiting IFAD President, Mr Gilbert Houngbo when he received presentations from the Ministry of Agriculture and that of Finance on strategic interventions the new dispensation is proposing to empower rural communities to be self sustainable through agriculture.
Zimbabwe's ministers thanked IFAD for the assistance in Zimbabwe's agricultural sector and clarified areas that need priority in terms of funding.
"We welcome the huge assistance we have been receiving from IFAD since 1993. Your visit comes at a time we have a new dispensation and I am glad to inform you that we propose that areas of capacity building and creating enterprises which will curb rural to urban migration are of paramount importance if aid is to be availed. We have embarked on empowering women and youth with goats, sheep and poultry projects which we also think require fund so that people in rural areas will have sustainable wealth," said Retired Air Chief Marshal Perrance Shiri, the Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement.
"We have a huge number of potential farmers who are producing cabbages, tomatoes and other cash crops, and it would be welcome if IFAD can come to assist us in value addition so that our farmers establish their enterprises and create rural employment," Cde Sithembiso Nyoni, the Acting Minister of Finance and Economic Development.
The IFAD President was impressed by the presentation and promised to continue mobilising more funds, saying the sooner the new dispensation delivers on on-going programmes like the small irrigation revitalisation project the longer the relationship will be nurtured.
Under the multi-million dollar smallholder irrigation revitalisation programme, US$25.5 million come as IFAD grant to Zimbabwe and will benefit over 27700 households.
The fund's immediate task is the revitalisation of over 6000 hectares in 152 existing smallholder irrigation schemes in various parts of the country.

The Goal of LA Galaxy's Gonzalez
Posted on November 30, 2012 by Nick Green
Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez, seen here fighting for the ball with Houston striker Brian Ching in last year's MLS Cup in Carson, has been the key to the Galaxy's success this season.
Staff Writer Phil Collin has the story of the influential Gonzalez and his recovery from a serious injury to lead the Galaxy's charge to a second successive MLS championship.
Posted in Galaxy, Major League Soccer | Leave a reply
Houston Dynamo hit the South Bay for MLS Cup: "We just want to win."
The Houston Dynamo are intent upon keeping preparations for MLS Cup Saturday against the Galaxy at Home Depot Center as much like a regular season league game as possible.
They flew into LAX late Thursday afternoon, an arrival time not dissimilar to any other game in Carson.
They are staying at the same Torrance hotel all MLS teams customarily do.
And their practice schedule this week has been nothing out of the ordinary either.
"We're just trying to keep it as normal as possible," said Houston coach Dominc Kinnear in a media availability at the hotel minutes after stepping off their flight that attracted only a handful of reporters.
Also normal: playing the Galaxy tough in an effort to throw the likes of Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan off their game. Kinnear is mindful not to let the on form Keane run at will at the Dynamo back line as he did, for instance, against Seattle.
"You have to play these guys physical. … They can mesmerize you with their movement and their touches," Kinnear said. "You can't be nice out there with these guys. I'm not saying go out there and boot them. But you have to make sure what they do is met with pressure and they don't get free runs in."
Kinnear is not known for throwing inflammatory quotes around and he's not exhorting his team to take revenge for last year's 1-0 loss:
"We just want to win the game, that's all. Everybody knows what happened last year. … There's no revenge here. If we win we don't get the cup from 2011; it's theirs. Our main objective is to try to win the game and win MLS Cup 2012.
"Last year, I don't think we played well. So there was nothing in the game that was out of our control. They beat us. We lost the game. We worked ever so hard to get back here. There's a lot of coincidences: same stadium, same opponent, but that's about as far as it goes. If we're so focused on revenge then you kind of lose focus on what we want to do and that's to win the game.
"They're a better team than they were last year and I think we are, too."

Thursday Kicks: LA Galaxy, Houston Dynamo in Battle of MLS Dynasties Saturday
And the victor at MLS Cup in Carson Saturday can stake a legitimate claim to the "D" word, argues Staff Writer Phil Collin.
Southern California's most popular Mexican owned club — no, not Chivas USA — continues its remarkable and implausible rise to the heights of Mexican soccer beginning tonight in the two-leg Liga MX final against Toluca. Series preview.
Next stop for the Galaxy's David Beckham — Monaco?
Diamond Bar's Alex Morgan continued to stake her claim as the U.S. Women's National Team's biggest sensation, claiming her second hat trick of the year Wednesday in a 5-0 pounding of Ireland. UCLA coach Jill Ellis was the stand-in coach and former Bruin striker Sydney LeRoux came on for Morgan and promptly added two more goals. Game story.

MLS Works in Carson, Toys & Trophies at LA Live

It's part of an annual MLS Cup donation to children's groups and schools in conjunction with MLS Works, the league's charitable arm. Galaxy players (Landon Donovan, Edson Buddle, A.J. DeLaGarza, Omar Gonzalez, Todd Dunivant, Mike Magee and Sean Franklin) and club officials including Tim Leiweke, who heads up parent company Anschutz Entertainment Group, were on hand for the Wednesday event.
Galaxy star Landon Donovan prepares to be grilled by a couple of kids at the club (whatever you do don't ask him about potential retirement, kids; he gets kind of touchy about it).
Between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Friday at the J.W. Marriott lobby adjacent-hotel mixing room, 900 W. Olympic Blvd., at LA Live the three Galaxy MLS Cups from 2002, 2005 and 2011, the three Lakers NBA Championship trophies from 2002, 2005 and 2011 and the lone Kings Stanley Cup won this year will be on display for fans to take photos with.
Bring a toy.
MLS Cup Tuesday Countdown: It's Here

Quotable: I don't think we're very similar at all," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear said in a teleconference with reporters today. "The two teams play very different. I wouldn't call them glamorous, they grind games out. If you look how many 1-0 victories they've had, it was quite a few. And in the finals it was a 1-0 victory. As far as management, they have AEG, we have AEG plus, also Oscar De La Hoya and Gabriel Brener. One thing that sticks out are the individual names. David Beckham is known worldwide, and Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane are no strangers to international football and people who understand the game. They have grinders on their side of the ball too. For those guys who are all good players, they have other good players behind them, who maybe have a different role on the team.

LA Galaxy's MLS Cup opponent Houston Dynamo hold first press conference, headline writers silenced
So you think the Houston Dynamo were all "OK, Galaxy we're going to rip you to shreds in front of your home fans as revenge for what you did to us last year in what we promise will be non-stop attacking soccer?"
Uh, no, because that would actually be interesting. Check out this combination of self-serving propaganda, milquetoast observations and other platitudes.
Let's hope things pick up as the week progresses:

The countdown to Saturday's MLS Cup at Home Depot Center between the Galaxy and Houston Dynamo began this afternoon with the announcement of the MLS Best XI by Commissioner Don Garber during his annual State of the League address.
Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan and club leading scorer Robbie Keane were named to the team during an address by garber that dwelled on the familiar isues of MLS expansion and David Beckham's legacy, which not so coincidentally is the subject of my regularly scheduled weekly column Tuesday.

David Beckham After the LA Galaxy: Destination Unknown
David Done: Beckham at his farewell press conference today in Carson (Photos by Staff Photographer Steve McCrank).
David Beckham is leaving the Galaxy — now he has to figure out where he's going..
"I still feel I have something left in me as a player," he said today at a press conference at Home Depot Center. "I still feel as if I have one more challenge in me as a player. Even at 37-years-old I feel I can play at a high level. Where that will be I haven't decided. There's some exciting opportunities on the table. Right now my focus is on the (MLS Cup) final, then we have a (post-season) tour to deal with, then it's Christmas, which we always spend in London. So I'll be there and make the decision then."
Beckham, who stressed the decision was his alone, ruled out staying in MLS to play, as well as managing or coaching, but he remains interested in buying an MLS franchise (something written into his contract when he came to MLS) — maybe even the Galaxy.
"We'll see," he said with a smirk.
The Beckham family must also decide where they will live, wherever he plays.
"We haven't decided where we're going to live, where we're going to base ourselves," he said. " It might be here. It might be Europe. We haven't come to a decision right now."
I asked Beckham what he thinks his relationship is with Galaxy fans now compared with the dark days of Achilles tendon injuries (caused by playing too much soccer, as he later admitted) and off season loans to Italy.
"Hopefully better," he said with a chuckles. "Every time I've been asked about the loan part I've always tried to explain it.
"I've shown my commitment to the fans and hopefully they see that," I just want people to have enjoyed watching me play here and work here."

In addition to bringing new heritage locations and their stories to Google Arts & Culture, this year Historic Environment Scotland and the University of South Florida—organizations with a shared commitment to opening their 3D datasets to the world—have also joined the Open Heritage project. Together, we're launching Open Heritage 3D, a dedicated portal for sharing 3D cultural heritage data and its results with everyone.

At CyArk, we carry out this mission through 3D documentation. In 2018, we traveled to Mexico City to support restoration efforts following the devastating earthquake that struck there in 2017. Our efforts included the 3D documentation of the city's enormous cathedral. It's one of many cultural heritage sites across the world facing unprecedented challenges from natural disasters, climate change, human conflict and urban encroachment. Today, we're adding the data collected during the Mexico City project to Google Arts & Culture, along with 29 other endangered sites around the globe, including the Temple of Apollo in Greece, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in the U.S. and the Tomb of Tu Ducin Vietnam.

Since we began this project last year, the data has been downloaded thousands of times, used to create 3D printed temples from Thailand and incorporated into VR experiences that let you explore an ancient city. Five of the new locations available today are in Damascus, Syria, a city impacted by civil war. From 2016 to 2017, we embarked upon an extensive training program for young professionals from the Syrian Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums in Lebanon, providing them with the tools and skills to document their heritage. Teaching our 3D documentation methodology is a core part of our mission and is becoming increasingly more important as organizations around the world adopt the use of 3D recording technologies.

I woke up this morning with a new lease on life. I got myself organized for the week, planned the cooking I'll do this afternoon, and I went to the gym. I used to go to the gym five days a week and now I wonder when I stopped...and why.
I made a lovely lunch out of salad greens and my left-over salmon from last night. It was overcooked but the salad fixed that problem.
So, taking care of myself. First priority. I can't help anyone else if I don't take care of myself.
