HostBaby just created an easy way for you to display your Instagram pics on your band website's photo gallery.
This got me wondering about all the different kinds of photos bands are sharing with their fans (on Instagram, and elsewhere).
You get the point. ANYTHING that is related to your music-making endeavors, get it on camera! You don't always have to post it online, but at least you'll have options. Go through the camera roll on your phone and if there's anything that looks interesting, fun, mysterious, or crazy — share it!
And now, when you publish a photo on Instagram, it'll automatically appear on your HostBaby website.


You're outside reading the paper and you look up in time to see a hummingbird drinking from the feeder you put out the day before. Your seed feeder is overflowing with scrub jays, mourning dove, finches and sparrows trying to catch a quick meal. And look who's making his rounds, chattering at your feet for his usual treat: it's the squirrel that lives in your oak tree. You pull a peanut from your pocket and hand it to him. As the day progresses you notice some deer in the corner of your yard eating the apples and grain you threw out for them. That evening the raccoon you've been leaving food out for brings her new batch of young over to play in your dog's water bowl.
You think back over the day and realize that you must have spent two to three hours just watching this activity. Ah, harmony with nature. Many people do one or more of the above. We like to feed the animals because it gives us a chance to see them up close and to feel we are helping by providing this extra bit of food. But are we really helping these animals – or are we causing them to become nuisances?
Wild animals are a permanent part of the urban environment. Unfortunately, their presence in our neighborhoods is very much a mixed blessing. While often beautiful and fascinating to watch, their natural behaviors – digging for insects, burrowing under logs or rock piles for shelter, and seeking out food – can lead to human-animal conflicts that can become serious. When humans intervene in the animals' lives the volume of these conflicts increases drastically.
The number of animals in any given area is usually controlled by three things, available food, water and shelter. It is referred to as the carrying capacity of the land. This helps the animals spread out so needed resources are not depleted right away. If a sickness such as distemper – a common disease of raccoons, foxes and other mammals – should break out, the number of animals affected is limited.
But when people leave food out, more animals are encouraged to move into that area, putting pressure on the other resources such as water and shelter. This overcrowding can lead to fighting between animals, frequently resulting in wounds that can become life-threatening.
Interactions between humans and animals escalate as well. A person who routinely feeds a raccoon, for instance, teaches him that he can get an easy meal. The animal then begins to visit other homes looking for more handouts. At best, the "begging" raccoon is often considered a nuisance. For many people, however, an adult raccoon standing on his hind legs and banging on the sliding glass door is intimidating – especially since many people think that wild animals are supposed to be wary of humans.
While a wild animal usually will leave if harassed or food is not forthcoming, sometimes the resident dog or cat gets involved, resulting in injury or worse for both animals. Often when people get fed up with the problems the wild animal is causing, they call a trapper to eliminate the problem wildlife, usually resulting in its death.
First, check your home and property for things that can attract animals, such as fruit trees, vegetable gardens, a broken air vent that allow access under the home, and chickens or rabbits that live out of doors. Modifying or eliminating these attractants can help to deter wild animals from coming around – or at least from moving in. PHS/SPCA believes, for example, that rabbits should live inside the home, in part because they become prey for wild animals when housed outdoors.
Second, look closely not only at your intended, limited interaction with wildlife, but also at its unintended, more extensive results. You may say, for instance, "I only feed birds, " but you must realize that unless you clean up after the birds each day, you will have mice eating the seed that has fallen on the ground, and most likely rats visiting the feeders at night. And the scent that these animals leave can in turn attract the larger mammals, like raccoons. Leaving food out for the wild mammals that come through our yards only encourages them to become bold and less wary of humans.
One must also accept the responsibility that when you feed wildlife you are putting them at a greater risk of predation and disease. Birds landing on phone lines waiting to take their turn at a feeder does not go unnoticed by hawks searching out their next meal. Anywhere a feeding station is set up it attracts more animals than would normally feed together. When a sick animal comes in to feed it can spread its disease to many more animals than it would under normal conditions.
So please think twice before you leave food out for wild animals. Don't turn them into beggars and nuisances. In the end, the animals you think you are helping may have to pay for their newly acquired behavior with their lives.

MoviePass: Making the All-You-Can-Watch Movie Buffet a Reality on Heroku
Unlimited movie theater access subscription service with integrated branded credit card and geo-location
MoviePass is a subscription-based service that allows members to see a movie a day with no restrictions on theater, dates or movies. MoviePass founders recognized that the movie industry was suffering from declining attendance and that their subscription service could help drive more moviegoers to the theaters.
The Challenge: Building Apps with a Small Team and Different Programming Languages
With a lean development team, MoviePass needed an efficient way to build the MoviePass app. They initially looked at Amazon Web Services to run their mobile app, but found it too time-consuming to set up and maintain for their lean business.
Their development team was also very diverse in the programming languages that they knew with varying levels of proficiency and experience in Scala, Ruby on Rails, Java and Node.js. Using AWS would have involved setting up separate environments for each developer, further adding to the infrastructure set-up time and cost and slowing down app development.
We had plans to build a custom environment on AWS, but decided it would be too time-consuming in the long-term. Heroku proved to be a logical choice to get up and running quickly at a much lower cost. Joey Adarkwah, Director, Technology, MoviePass
The Solution: The MoviePass Team Working Together on Heroku
MoviePass decided on Heroku as a logical, cost-effective and efficient solution to address these challenges. There was no infrastructure to set up and maintain, and the developers could focus on creating new features to delight their customers. Heroku's multi-language support made it possible for all the developers to use same platform to build and deploy their applications — each developer could code in the language they were more productive and comfortable with, yet they could all deploy and manage their apps through the same consolidated dashboard. MoviePass could now hire the right developer to use the right language for the job, and have it all work together on Heroku.
Heroku's polyglot platform makes it extremely easy to spin up a new instance with a different code base. This allowed our diverse development team to code in the language they were comfortable with and allowed MoviePass to hire skilled devs regardless of their language of choice. Joey Adarkwah, Director, Technology, MoviePass
Heroku powers the customer-facing website, the API backend for the MoviePass mobile app, and the administration of third-party payment card processing, subscription management and movie showtimes.
MoviePass has already seen significant benefits from the Heroku platform, including increased performance as well as a lower service cost per user. They've chose Heroku to position MoviePass for their anticipated growth and are confident their architecture can grow well beyond a 1 million+ users without making any changes.
We were able to increase performance upwards of 90% and lower our service cost per user by 40% as a result of the Heroku platform and new architecture. Joey Adarkwah, Director, Technology, MoviePass
App Experience
MoviePass members can find the movie they want on the MoviePass app on either iPhone or Android, and then swipe their MoviePass card at the movie theater ticket booth or kiosk. Their app uses patented geo-location technology to confirms the user's presence at the movie theater and adds funds to their MoviePass card automatically, so the member can purchase their movie ticket.
Would your company benefit from Heroku's agile and developer-friendly polyglot platform? MoviePass is a great example of a company leveraging Heroku's multi-language support to build and deploy their applications. For more information, contact Heroku today.

For step-by-step tutorials and visual help, please see the terrific built-in help system in CreativEase. To access it, click the round ? button (shown above) in the lower black bar area of any CreativEase window. Or click the ? button in the top right corner of the window (or tap the F1 key), then click any control you want to learn about. Or view the entire help system online here.
To set a CreativEase control to a new CONSTANT value, you do NOT need keyframes. Just drag the control's slider or enter a new value in its text box. To VARY a control's value LINEARLY during an effect, use the simple technique below. The below process works for any control that is keyframable (has a round keyframe button to the left of the control).
1. Go to the clip's FIRST frame. Drag the CreativEase effect's preview scrub control all the way to the left, as shown below. Other easy ways to do this are clicking the First Frame button under the preview, or entering "0:00" in the Current Time box to the left of the preview buttons.
NOTE: In the Sony Vegas Pro or Vegas Movie Studio version, instead of the above (which are not available since Vegas' real-time built-in preview window is used), click the gray Keyframes button to open the Keyframes window (shown below). Then drag the blue vertical frame marker all the way left to the clip's first frame, as shown below. This technique also works in all other versions of CreativEase.
2. Set a value for the effect's FIRST frame. In the example below, we have set the Pre-blur value of the PosterWise plugin to 15 by dragging its slider.
3. Click the round keyframe button to the left of the control. This turns on keyframing for that control (as indicated by the button's light turning on) and sets a keyframe at the first frame to the value (in this example, 15). The effect will therefore start with that value.
5. Change the keyframed control's value by dragging its slider or entering a new value in the control's text box. For example, say we've increased Pre-blur to 25 at the last frame of the effect. Between first and last frames, therefore, Pre-blur will smoothly increase linearly between 15 and 25. For example, the middle frame during the effect will automatically have a Pre-blur value of 20.
To set different values for other frames during the effect, repeat Steps 4-5 for any other frames. That's all!
A very simple but cool tip: By applying a CreativEase effect to a clip more than once, even more is creatively possible. Each pass can be optimized to a particular aspect of the desired look. Or by using the spice files and/or Mixer to target the effect into certain clip areas, you can repeat that to cumulatively target the effect to a wider range of areas in the image. Experiment!
CleanCrop and BlurPro are a very powerful duo for enhancing the look of your OTHER video effects (not just other CreativEase video effects). Apply CleanCrop first to ensure that noise or other dark/stray pixels around a clip's frame edge will not muddy or magnify when applying ANY distortion and blur effects. Apply BlurPro first before other artistic or color effects to get purer effect results. Click the above links to see image examples.
CreativEase's terrific help system should answer most questions. If you still need help, however, please email us via our tech support page. We'll promptly answer questions or suggest a tip, whether you are an existing CreativEase user or just trying the demo. And yes, email is best instead of calling us. We devote lots of resources for 16+ hours/day to answer such emails promptly.

Headed by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), the trials are expected to continue for the next three years and will involve a myriad of private-sector companies to discuss and share their expertise as 5G-based technologies evolve.
Japan's three biggest carriers – NTT Docomo, KDDI, and SoftBank – are expected to be lending their knowledge, while equipment manufacturers Panasonic, Sharp, and Fujitsu will be helping supply required hardware including base stations and handsets.
MIC expects 5G to be around 100 times quicker than the current, most widely-used, LTE networks in Japan today, and ten times faster than 4G. More than 40 projects have been proposed by the 5G Trial Promotion Group.
Yukihiko Okumura, the leader of the 5G Mobile Communications Promotion Forum Japan's 5G Trial Promotion Group (5G-TPG) said during a keynote presentation at the 3rd Global 5G Event that more than 40 related utilization projects have been proposed by members of the 5G Trial Promotion Group.
The body summarised various utilisation projects across six use cases including Entertainment, which stipulates the use of the emerging technology for stadiums, event sites, theme parks and sightseeing areas; Security and Disaster Defense, which will include the deployment of surveillance and security systems; Logistics, Agriculture, Office and Factory; Remote Control and Surveillance of Robot and Drone; Connected Cars and Automated Driving and High-Speed Moving Vehicles.
Members of the 5GMF Trial Promotion Group include KDDI, NTT DoCoMo, Fujitsu, Ericsson, Sony, SoftBank, NEC, NTT, Nokia, Panasonic, Hitachi, Huawei, Mitsubishi Electric, Anritsu and Keysight Technologies.
What are your thoughts on the launch of the 5G trial system? Let us know in the comments.

Wilhelm «Willi» Münzenberg (14 de agosto de 1889, Erfurt - junio de 1940, Saint-Marcellin, Isère, Francia) fue un activista comunista alemán, primer presidente de la Internacional Comunista de la Juventud en 1919-1920 e iniciador de la Ayuda Internacional de los Trabajadores en 1921. Fue un gran propagandista para el Partido Comunista de Alemania (KPD) durante la República de Weimar, pero luego se desencantaría con el comunismo debido a la Gran Purga de Stalin en la década de 1930, aunque seguiría apoyando a organizaciones comunistas en Europa occidental.

Biografía

Primeros años
Willi Münzenberg nació el 14 de agosto en 1889 en Erfurt, Turingia, hijo de un tabernero. Creció en la pobreza. En su juventud se involucró en los sindicatos y en el Partido Socialdemócrata de Alemania (SPD). Tras la división del SPD en 1914 en una mayoría moderada (partido conocido como el SPD Mayoritario, MSPD) y la minoría radical (conocido como SPD Indenpendiente, USPD) sobre el asunto de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Münzenberg se puso del lado de la facción independiente.

Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, Münzenberg visitó a menudo a Vladímir Lenin en su casa de Zúrich, Suiza. En 1918, Münzenberg fue uno de los miembros fundadores del Partido Comunista de Alemania.

Münzenberg también fue presidente de la Internacional Comunista de la Juventud, siendo el delegado de la misma en el 2.º Congreso Mundial de la Internacional Comunista.

Carrera política

En 1924, Münzenberg fue elegido para el Reichstag, y sirvió como miembro hasta la prohibición del Partido Comunista de Alemania en 1933. Münzenberg fue uno de los pocos líderes del Partido con orígenes en la clase obrera, un hecho que suponía un inmenso orgullo para Münzenberg.

Durante el periodo de Weimar, Münzenberg ganó la reputación de propagandista brillante. Su primer éxito fue su campaña para recaudar dinero y alimentos para la hambruna rusa de 1921. En 1924 lanzó Arbeiter-Illustrierte-Zeitung, que se convirtió en el periódico socialista ilustrado más leído de Alemania. Por añadidura, Münzenberg trabajó cercanamente con el Comintern para hacer avanzar la causa comunista internacionalmente.

Münzenberg fundó varias organizaciones como la Liga Mundial contra el Imperialismo, el fondo para Ayuda Internacional de los Trabajadores y la Defensa Sindical Internacional para propagar las ideas comunistas. Instruyó a su asistente, agente del Comintern, Otto Katz, para viajar a los Estados Unidos para ganar el apoyo de varias causas prosoviéticas y antinazis (Katz más tarde fundaría la Liga Antinazi de Hollywood con Dorothy Parker). Con la intención de ofuscar los orígenes de sus operaciones, Münzenberg creó numerosas organizaciones para controlar otras suborganizaciones. La inteligencia fascista y occidental generalmente llamaban a este conjunto como el "Grupo Münzenberg".

Tras dirigir la comisión del Comintern del caso Sacco y Vanzetti en 1925, Münzenberg se convirtió en jefe de la Liga Contra el Imperialismo, creada en Bruselas en 1927. Su mayor éxito fue el contrajuicio que organizó en Londres en el que culpaba a los nazis del incendio del Reichstag. Durante el contrajuicio, Münzenberg y sus hombres crearon la mayoría de las pruebas que aportaron de que los nazis habían incendiado el Reichstag. En 1933 y 1934, el "Grupo Münzenberg" publicó dos exitosos libros, El libro marrón del Incendio del Reichstag y del Terror de Hitler, y su secuela, Segundo Libro Marrón del incendio del Reichstag. Ambos libros marrones fueron aceptados como auténticos hasta 1960, cuando el periodista Fritz Tobias expuso numerosas incongruencias e información falsa en los libros.

Münzenberg vivió intermitentemente en París desde 1933 a 1940. Se ha sugerido que en estos años en el exilio, pudo encargarse de reclutar a Kim Philby para trabajar para la Unión Soviética, aunque no hay pruebas claras de esto, El argumento para esta teoría es que Philby fue reclutado a través de una de las organizaciones del "Grupo Münzenberg", la Sociedad Mundial para el Alivio de las Víctimas del Fascismo Alemán, basada en París.

Tras la Revolución de Asturias en España y su aplastamiento por el ejército (octubre de 1934) se ocupó de la propaganda en Inglaterra para conseguir la liberación de los condenados por su participación en los disturbios, consiguiendo el apoyo de varios periódicos y políticos británicos. También en 1934, la influencia de Münzenberg alcanzó sus niveles más bajos al enviar el aparato de Comintern al escritor checo Egon Kisch a la Conferencia Australiana del Movimiento contra la Guerra y el Fascismo (una organización del partido comunista australiano). Lo que podría haber sido una visita sin importancia de un desconocido escritor checo, polarizó prontamente la sociedad australiana cuando el gobierno conservador de Joseph Lyons declaró a Kisch "indeseable como habitante de, o visitante a, la Commonwealth" e intentó expulsar a Kisch de Australia. Incapaz de producir cualquier prueba legal de que Kisch era comunista, la demanda del gobierno se derrumbó y Kisch se convirtió en un personaje popular que conferenciaba difundiendo el mensaje de Münzenberg y el Comintern. No obstante, los intentos de formar un Frente Unido contra el fascismo en Australia no tuvieron éxito.

Últimos años y muerte

Hasta 1936, Münzenberg permaneció leal a Stalin y a los propósitos de la política exterior soviética. Estaba al tanto de las purgas de Stalin, habiendo sido testigo del uso de prisioneros políticos en la construcción del Canal de Moscú, durante la que unos 22.000 prisioneros murieron, y también el cambio de rumbo del partido comunista alemán para servir a la política exterior soviética. Realmente, jamás rompió con Stalin. Urgido a regresar a Moscú por el exiliado compañero en el KPD Walter Ulbricht, Münzenberg se negó a acudir, ya que sospechaba que se le llamaba para ser implicado y liquidado en las mismas purgas que sus organizaciones habían tratado de oscurecer mediante desinformación (Ulbricht también lo sabía, y serviría a Stalin para eliminar a alemanes "desleales" que luchaban en el bando republicano en la Guerra civil española. Münzenberg continuó trabajando en favor de las causas antifascistas por toda Europa Occidental, donde colaboró en la organización del reclutamiento y adquisición de armas soviéticas para las Brigadas Internacionales para luchar en el lado republicano en la mencionada guerra en España.

Sin embargo, para 1937 su sentencia estaba firmada. Habiendo sido expulsado del KPD sobre falsos cargos, Münzenberg finalmente se desplazó a la oposición abierta a Stalin. De regreso a París, se convirtió en el líder genuino de los emigrados alemanes antifascistas y antiestalinistas. Su nuevo periódico, Die Zukunft, fue el antecesor intelectual de Encounter y otras publicaciones de la guerra fría.

Sus socios profesionales más cercanos, como Karl Radek, Heinz Neumann y otros incontables comunistas alemanes, habían sido asesinados o trabajaban en campos de trabajo soviéticos. Su cuñada, Margarete Buber-Neumann, había sido encarcelada en Karaganda. El NKVD finalmente la entregó a Hitler en 1940, involuntariamente salvándole la vida, ya que tras la relativa seguridad del campo de concentración de Ravensbruck, fue liberada por las tropas angloamericanas antes de que llegaran las soviéticas.

En junio de 1940, Münzenberg escapó de París, donde había estado realizando grabaciones antinazis, huyendo del avance de las tropas alemanas. En el sur de Francia, fue encarcelado por el gobierno de Daladier en el campo para extranjeros de Chambaran, unos 80 km por carretera al sur de Lyon. Fue allí donde conoció a un desconocido prisionero comunista, que entabló amistad con él y que le convenció para escaparse juntos aprovechando el caos de los días del Armisticio. Algunas fuentes creen que era un agente del NKVD de Beria. Münzenberg se mostró de acuerdo, y desapareció con el extraño y uno o dos jóvenes en los primeros días de reclusión. Fueron los últimos que le vieron con vida.

El 21 de octubre de 1940, en el bosque de Caugnet cazadores franceses encontraron el cadáver parcialmente descompuesto de Münzenberg a los pies de un roble, con un trozo de cuerda todavía alrededor de su cuello, a unas doscientas yardas del campo El veredicto del gobierno de Vichy para su muerte, que no incluía interrogatorios a sus amigos en el campo, fue oficialmente que se suicidó. Sin embargo, varios testigos informarían después de que Múnzenberg mantenía el espíritu alegre durante sus días en el campo y en los primeros días de huida, por lo que varios observadores han argumentado que probablemente fuera asesinado por orden de Stalin, aunque no existe ni una sola prueba que respalde esta tesis.

Richmond Raceway and Eternal Fan™ have grown their partnership to launch the Fan Memories™ - Fan of the Month program. The new program will highlight loyal Richmond fans who have a storied past with America's Premier Short Track throughout the year. Whether they have been attending races for decades or are new to the sport, fans have the opportunity to nominate their fellow racing enthusiasts for the Fan Memories - Fan of the Month.
The fan selected each month to represent Richmond fans will receive a special ticket package for the next Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway, courtesy of Eternal Fan. The fan of the month will be announced at the end of each month across the track's online channels.
In addition to launching the Fan Memories - Fan of the Month program, Richmond and Eternal Fan asked fans to help name The World's Largest Racing Piston in January. The 21-foot racing piston is home to Fan Spaces™ which can be purchased to place cherished items that commemorate a special time at America's Premier Short Track. Fans were given three choices to pick from that all had a strong tie to Richmond Raceway.
With 52 percent of the vote, fans chose "Shorty" as the new name of The World's Largest Racing Piston. The name Shorty honors Richmond's over 70 years of short track racing and Racing Virginia's numerous short tracks around the Commonwealth. One lucky voter was selected for a one-of-a-kind race day experience.
In 2018, Richmond partnered with Eternal Fan to bring the Fan Memories program to America's Premier Short Track. As part of the partnership, Eternal Fan is the naming rights sponsor for the enhanced pedestrian tunnel that leads to the DC Solar FanGrounds.

Since I did an update or even really spoke much for that matter.
It has finally come down to the wire. We thought we were going to be moved in to the new home by January, but now it seems like moving in to the new house in February is going to be the ultimate conclusion. The apartment is mostly empty now and we have only a few more items left to remove from the apartment and the precious cargo of course.
Attention ALL VA, WV, and Washington DC area corgi members!
Autumn, Jonathan, and Dodger Welcome You!
Hi, we're Autumn and my husband, Jonathan is in the Air Force. We are proud companions of our little guy, Dodger, a tri-colored Pembroke Welsh Corgi. We're both corgi lovers (I love all animals while Jon is more picky). We're also parents to our little tuxedo girl kitten, Kisa. Her relationship with Dodger, they're buddies.
Dodger is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, his birthday is June 6, 2013. He's a tri-colored Pembroke Welsh Corgi and has brown eyes. Photos of him and his personality and all his other little cuteness shall be posted on our page.
I like the Z Bones. Ein like the carrot best. All are great though.

A: You could use the vSphere PowerCLI. It's a powershell plugin.
To create a snapshot, you would need to do the following:
add-pssnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
Connect-VIServer -Server myVSphereServer
get-vm myVMName | new-snapshot -name "My New Snapshot"

Simply put, record expungement is a way to make your criminal history or arrest record disappear (or, at least, a certain offense).
Having a record expunged means your record is no longer accessible to the public and you legally can answer "no" if asked whether you've been charged with or convicted of a crime.
Some states use different definitions for "expunged" and "sealed" records, and for the most part those definitions are similar.
Generally, though, sealed records differ from expunged records because sealed records still exist; they're not accessible to the general public or via background checks, but certain entities (such as government agencies) can obtain a court order to access the records.
When you receive a pardon for a criminal offense, it means you've been forgiven for that crime; however, pardons show up as part of your criminal historyright along with the conviction unless part of the pardon conditions state you can apply to have the record expunged.
Generally, judges don't have the authority to issue pardons. For a pardon, you must turn to governors, secretaries of state, attorney generals, and sometimes even the President.
As the name implies, a Certificate of Actual Innocence is reserved for someone found not guilty of a crime.
Remember, even if you're charged with a crime and found not guilty, you still could have a criminal record of that event.
Thus, a Certificate of Actual Innocence is the highest form of record expungement. Not only does a Certificate of Actual Innocence expunge a criminal record, but also it states that the record never should have existed in the first place.
Your age at the time of the conviction.
For example, were you a juvenile or adult? Many states are more apt to grant a record expungement to juveniles.
What was the crime? Often, states will expunge first-time drug offense records if you successfully complete an ordered drug or alcohol treatment program, but not more serious crimes such as weapons-based offenses.
Also, misdemeanor crimes are more likely to get expunged than felonies.
Many states are more likely to expunge your record if it's a first-time offense and you've completed all requirements (such as jail time and payments of all fines); however, if you have multiple offenses on your record, expungement is unlikely.
Just like your eligibility requirements, your process to expunge your criminal record depends on your state's laws, and while you can file for record expungement yourself, your best bet is to hire a criminal attorney.
Determining whether your case is eligible for expungement.
Your state might require a completed eligibility application.
Obtaining copies of your criminal record and any other related court documents.
Filing the appropriate paperwork and paying any required filing fees.
Some states require a petition for expungement.
After you file the paperwork and pay the fees, the court might automatically set your hearing date; if not, you must request a hearing date yourself.
These steps might seem daunting, which is why hiring a criminal attorney to represent you is a smart idea. He or she knows your state's laws on expunging records and can obtain documents, file paperwork, and handle hearing requests for you—not to mention make the best possible case for you in front of the judge.
A criminal record can create difficult downstream consequences, whether the record is for having been arrested or convicted (or both). For example, employers and landlords commonly ask job applicants and apartment seekers whether they have ever been convicted of (or perhaps even arrested for) a criminal offense. Employers might not hire—and landlords might not rent to—people who answer "yes" to these questions. The good news is that, in some cases, you may be able to get an arrest or conviction expunged from your record.
Is a particular offense eligible for expungement? For example, a jurisdiction may allow expungement only for arrests and misdemeanor convictions and not allow felony convictions to be expunged.
When is a person eligible for an expungement?
What does the expungement process involve?
What are the consequences of expungement? Even if a conviction has been expunged, could it still show up in some circumstances?
For example, police departments and some licensing boards may be able to find out about job applicants' expunged records.
A Certificate of Actual Innocence is perhaps the most powerful form of expungement. This certificate does more than seal a prior record, it proves that a record should never have existed at all. Let's say that Joe is arrested for vandalism for spraying buildings with graffiti, but the charges are later dropped. Or perhaps Joe is charged with vandalism, and he goes to trial and is found not guilty. In either situation, Joe might seek to obtain a certificate establishing that he was factually innocent of the offense.
In many jurisdictions, people who have been arrested or convicted for drug crimes and juvenile offenders may have an easier path to expungement.
Drug offenses. Many people arrested for drug offenses are eligible for diversion programs. These programs typically provide for the expungement of records following the satisfactory completion of a program.
Juvenile offenses. People who were arrested or convicted as juvenile offenders may have an easier time getting their criminal records expunged or sealed. Usually this is an option once the person reaches the age of 18, and they've otherwise stayed out of trouble with the law.

When Kenny Lao of Rickshaw Dumpling Bar told us he was adding a braised-pork-belly bun to the menu (describing buns as "essentially dumplings but part of the larger dim sum family" -- sounds pretty routine!), we weren't surprised to see Eater pick up the item and describe the bun as "Momo'-like." Fair enough. But months ago, UrbanDaddy described Bar Q's spit-roasted pork belly as "Momofuku-esque." They can't both be Momofuku-like, can they?
UrbanDaddy is definitely the worst offender here. The site recently described Inakaya as "Momofuku Ko meets Medieval Times," and before that, Ed's Lobster Bar as "Momofuku meets Cape Cod."Soba Totto was said to have a "Momofuku-style bar" (as if noodle bars never existed before Momofuku), and the chef at Desnuda was said to double as a bartender "Momofuku Ko-style."
How to describe Sasha Petraske's return to the bar? "A Momofuku Ko-type move," obviously. And don't even get us started on UrbanDaddy's recent, which describes a new Lower East Side gastropub, Clerkenwell, as "Spotted Pig-lite."
Enough already! It's getting Momo-notonous!
Braised Pork Belly with Chinese Barbeque Sauce and Asian Cabbage Slaw.
Served on a steamed mantou bun. The braised meat is both sweet and savory with a hint of honey and five spice.
Sauteed patty of ground beef seasoned with sesame seeds, garlic, onions, and soy sauce. Topped with Gochu Jang chile paste and garnished with pickled carrot, bean sprout, and scallion.
Served on a steamed mantou bun.
