Our

fight

against

discriminatory

breedspecific

legislation

BSL

is

likely

to

gain

momentum

with

a

raft

of

states

considering

legislation

to

remove

and

prevent

restrictions

on

pet

owners

keeping

certain

breeds

and

types

of

dogs

Dog

experts

and

researchers

along

with

just

about

every

reputable

humane

organization

from

The

HSUS

to

the

ASPCA

to

the

American

Veterinary

Medical

Association

have

long

rejected

the

idea

that

breed

specific

legislation

works

in

preventing

dog

bites

or

other

dangerous

encounters

with

dogs

Science

shows

us

that

a

dogs

breed

and

how

he

or

she

looks

does

not

necessarily

predict

the

dogs

behavior

or

provide

any

insight

into

the

animals

propensity

to

harm

someone

Whats

more

such

laws

are

typically

very

difficult

to

enforce

given

that

many

dogs

are

mixed

breeds

and

arent

readily

classed

by

breed

type

In

fact

there

is

no

breed

known

as

a

pit

bull

and

many

pitbull

type

dogs

are

of

mixed

lineage

What

breed

specific

legislation

does

achieve

is

to

take

dogs

with

good

behavior

away

from

loving

families

Typically

these

dogs

are

taken

to

shelters

placing

additional

burdens

on

already

oversubscribed

facilities

and

handing

them

an

animal

with

few

options

but

euthanasia

It

also

turns

lawabiding

people

into

lawbreakers

So

many

people

who

love

their

dogs

will

risk

noncompliance

because

they

can

not

stomach

the

idea

of

giving

up

their

animal

Its

an

act

of

loyalty

and

love

for

them

not

to

submit

to

a

law

that

makes

little

sense

and

breaks

the

bond

of

a

lifetime

As

an

alternative

we

think

its

important

to

focus

on

the

dog

and

the

animals

caretaker

We

have

long

backed

effective

dangerous

dog

legislation

that

targets

animals

known

to

cause

a

problem

or

an

owner

who

simply

can

not

keep

their

animal

under

control

Appropriate

penalties

should

be

meted

out

against

people

who

recklessly

handle

the

responsibility

of

owning

a

dog

We

understand

the

impulse

that

lawmakers

and

even

citizens

have

after

a

harmful

incident

or

perhaps

even

a

human

fatality

They

are

grieving

and

they

worry

about

other

dogs

replicating

that

behavior

It

may

be

emotionally

satisfying

to

pursue

a

breedspecific

ban

of

pit

bulls

or

akitas

but

such

a

ban

simply

sweeps

with

too

broad

a

brush

and

discriminates

against

dogs

and

their

owners

whove

done

nothing

wrong

We

estimate

that

more

than

localities

have

breed

discriminatory

policies

so

theres

a

lot

to

unwind

here

We

now

have

created

a

great

resource

to

assist

you

if

you

want

to

fight

against

breed

bans

and

work

on

dangerous

dog

ordinances

in

their

place

a

toolkit

specifically

designed

to

provide

comprehensive

information

on

this

issue

giving

you

the

confidence

to

challenge

BSL

in

your

community

making

it

a

safer

place

for

both

dogs

and

people

You

new

resource

Besides

the

toolkit

we

are

also

offering

this

year

a

daylong

course

Well

I

this

I

am

sick

I

now

carry

a

when

I

BSL

has

ripped

many

dogs

away

from

their

families

This

legislation

does

not

per

say

target

only

specific

breeds

but

also

any

other

dog

deemed

to

have

same

physical

characteristics

as

the

targeted

breed

or

even

a

similar

appearance

The

answer

to

your

question

is

too

many

dogs

have

been

taken

away

from

their

families

because

of

this

useless

and

harsh

law

There

have

even

been

studies

have

you

read

the

blog

among

other

blogs

that

support

the

claim

with

multiple

studies

that

BSL

where

it

has

been

is

please

consider

this

If

an

owner

is

not

controlling

their

dog

please

talk

to

the

owners

first

It

is

simply

unfair

to

shoot

a

dog

because

the

owner

is

not

controlling

them

Think

of

it

this

way

if

a

toddler

was

running

around

a

restaurant

screaming

and

the

parent

is

just

sitting

there

letting

it

happen

you

are

not

The

goes

for

There

are

laws

rights

protections

etc

depending

on

the

municipality

as

well

that

would

enable

the

dog

owner

to

go

after

you

for

wrongfully

shooting

a

dog

that

merely

appears

dangerous

Youd

have

to

have

just

cause

or

something

similar

like

the

dog

latched

on

to

your

leg

with

its

teeth

and

wouldnt

let

go

A

dog

nipping

at

or

lunging

towards

you

or

your

animal

isnt

enough

to

justify

shooting

it

dead

in

of

most

areas

where

BSL

is

enforced

Thats

like

me

saying

I

carry

a

for

my

protection

so

I

can

On

September

my

landlady

invited

my

grandson

and

I

to

have

pizza

with

her

As

we

walked

over

from

my

place

her

pit

bull

attacked

my

grandson

knocking

him

down

My

grandson

stood

back

up

and

the

dog

had

its

nose

right

up

to

my

grandsons

face

by

the

time

I

reached

them

Instantly

a

knowledge

took

over

I

swear

I

have

no

idea

from

where

I

knew

if

I

grabbed

Briar

the

dog

would

grab

his

legs

and

we

would

be

in

a

tug

of

war

for

my

Briar

Instead

this

year

old

grandmother

chose

to

grab

the

dog

around

his

body

and

take

him

away

from

Briar

Beyond

that

I

just

knew

I

had

to

fight

to

hold

onto

the

dog

as

he

exploded

even

more

violently

He

had

selected

his

prey

that

night

and

it

wasnt

me

He

kept

trying

to

get

back

to

Briar

His

collar

came

off

so

I

grabbed

him

again

screaming

for

help

The

dog

turned

back

to

me

again

and

began

to

try

and

tear

my

throat

out

I

had

to

put

my

hands

in

his

mouth

to

keep

him

from

I

saw

him

as

he

broke

a

bone

in

my

hand

Then

he

grabbed

one

arm

after

the

other

as

I

tried

to

protect

my

throat

and

head

He

ripped

my

bicep

open

my

forearm

my

hands

each

finger

This

monster

grabbed

my

face

and

ripped

it

down

peeling

it

partially

off

in

three

sections

He

turned

his

attention

back

to

Briar

and

I

remember

my

landlady

telling

me

to

stay

down

but

that

dog

was

stalking

back

to

Briar

so

I

had

no

choice

but

to

crawl

through

the

dirt

but

this

time

I

had

a

broken

hand

chunks

By

this

time

which

seemed

like

hours

but

was

only

minutes

Briar

had

been

taken

to

safety

and

it

took

gun

shots

to

bring

that

dog

down

and

stop

the

attack

When

the

rescue

squad

came

the

pit

bull

was

at

my

feet

guarding

his

prey

It

took

more

shots

to

kill

him

I

remember

a

fireman

telling

me

the

dog

would

not

get

me

again

on

his

watch

I

took

care

to

refuse

treatment

until

they

looked

at

my

boy

who

needed

a

stitch

in

his

ear

When

they

loaded

me

up

I

was

able

to

get

The

docs

tell

me

with

the

severity

of

my

injuries

that

Briar

would

have

been

killed

had

the

dog

been

able

to

get

to

him

It

was

a

night

of

instinctual

battle

with

a

dog

from

hell

determined

to

get

his

prey

I

had

my

surgery

unfortunately

this

surgery

did

my

lip

Good

I

we

really

need

to

target

the

AVMA

because

they

did

a

year

study

published

in

that

highest

amount

of

another

by

Pit

mixes

Rottweilers

were

second

with

at

However

the

Pit

suppressed

this

have

Now

I

refer

people

to

the

which

contains

the

study

and

many

others

proving

that

Pit

bull

gripping

type

breeds

can

not

ever

be

trusted

and

need

to

be

restricted

with

high

licensing

and

fines

Unfortunately

if

you

say

you

end

up

fighting

an

uphill

battle

So

I

say

BSL

Protection

with

Grandfathering

Well

HSUS

it

should

be

obvious

to

you

via

that

you

are

on

the

WRONG

side

of

this

argument

My

last

dog

was

the

most

adorable

black

lab

Had

an

irresistable

cute

happy

face

But

she

turned

on

a

dime

without

warning

I

got

her

from

the

humane

society

who

assured

she

had

a

good

temperment

Less

than

weeks

in

she

tried

to

bite

me

on

the

face

and

through

the

years

had

nipped

more

than

a

few

I

got

to

know

the

subtle

signs

she

was

a

great

loving

dog

most

of

the

time

yet

very

capable

of

being

dangerous

in

a

heart

beat

We

just

had

to

learn

that

she

was

capable

of

this

and

Thank

you

for

sharing

that

My

dog

was

charged

at

the

dog

park

by

a

lab

whose

owner

profusely

apologized

as

he

tackled

his

dog

and

dragged

him

out

Luckily

my

dog

was

only

left

with

wounds

that

did

not

require

much

treatment

and

I

had

bites

that

did

require

stitches

It

came

out

of

nowhere

and

my

dog

did

not

bite

back

or

instigate

it

He

was

simply

doing

his

run

as

fast

as

I

can

in

circles

around

the

parkit

must

have

triggered

some

wierd

prey

drive

in

the

lab

My

dog

looks

somewhat

similar

to

a

pit

Here

is

what

it

all

boils

down

to

for

me

and

I

am

not

trying

to

offend

anyone

by

saying

this

but

for

example

a

white

man

kills

a

Hispanic

man

because

the

white

man

is

just

a

mean

and

vicious

person

should

we

just

ban

all

the

white

men

because

they

are

white

men

No

Of

course

not

that

is

just

asinine

and

to

believe

that

one

type

of

dog

which

includes

multiple

different

dog

breeds

are

all

the

same

is

asinine

as

well

Everyone

who

says

pit

bulls

are

the

problem

tell

me

what

is

a

pit

bull

Mind How To Tune Into The Spirit World mindvalleyblog 12 months ago 4 min read We are all psychic Whether you believe it or not you were born with this deepseated intuitiveness Having said that we can all learn to play the piano but we may not all reach Mozarts level However its not about being a medium or psychic Rather it is about selfactualization and your own spiritual growth and advancement Ask yourself What am I learning about myself The ability to talk with a spirit andor be psychic is like a muscle It absolutely gets stronger with time and practice The challenge for most is not being psychic but rather believe that they are Connecting with the spirit world is much like tuning into a radio frequency When tuning into the spirit world you will be raising your vibrational frequency as spirits then lower theirs so you both meet in the middle Golden rules for tuning into the spirit world This journey is unique and highly individual Honor that Say what you see Too often students are afraid to say what they are seeing or recognize it as truth In so doing they lose valuable and meaningful information What you are receiving always has meaning Firstcome first truth As you open this door trust what comes first This will be what is most accurate Here are five steps to connect with the spirit world 1 Set your intention State out loud your intention to open the door to speak and receive messages from the spirit world be it on a personal level or in a formal reading session The Universe has heard you There is a divine plan much greater than you in this intention Now let it now be brought to you 2 Meditation In your daily meditation be sure to quiet your logical analyzing left brain Say hello and then goodbye to your left brain Make an agreement with your left brain that you will reconvene another time Meditation and quieting your mind will assist in quicker and clearer connection with spirit 3 Listen Listening for signs symbols and messages throughout your day is the next step in this journey These may come in your dreams in song in synchronisticlike events in your day that strike you as coincidence But coincidence is nonexistent Have you ever been thinking of your loved one and reminded of the very special favorite song you two shared then later that day you heard it on the radio Indeed this was your loved one 4 Create a reading screen Lets start with your clairvoyance ability The reading screen is your viewing receptacle It is where will receive images and pictures through which spirit may communicate Using your minds eye imagine a large movie screen out in front of you Give it a grounding cord and secure it to the center of the earth Now ask your question Or ask for a message from spirit Dont demand just ask Let the answer come Did you get black Great Black is a color The first image that comes will be your answer be it symbolic or literal 5 Use your clair abilities Connecting with the spirit world requires the use of all of your senses taste touch smell hear and see We have what is known as clair abilities This involves us taking our physical senses to a higher spiritual level I call this heightened sensing We have seven clair abilities Clairvoyance Clear seeing Claircognizance Clear knowing Clairauditory Clear hearing Clairgustance Clear tasting Clairolfactory Clear smelling Clairsentience Clear feeling Clairkinesthesia Clear touching I highly encourage seeking out of specific meditations to assist you in opening these abilities This will be the doorway through which your connection with spirit becomes stronger Some things to remember As your connection to spirit grows your dreams will be one of the best ways to receive messages Before you go to bed at night simply ask the spirit to come Then expect and intend their arrival albeit on their time Pay attention to the last dream before you wake and notice any colors symbols words and people that present You will know it is your loved one present because the dream is very colorful and vivid You are the vehicle the mechanism that is making this be It is invaluable to spend time in development with others of likemind learning and growing Find qualified teachers

Which Internet Service Provider Has the Best 1 Gbps Fibre Broadband Plan in Singapore Peter Lin April 6 2018 0 Comments 0 Shares Here in Singapore theres never any decent roads to race on Yet there are some of us that insist on buying supercars for the speed theyre capable of even if its just to hit the accelerator for all of 2 seconds at a time Off the road we have other speed demons in our midst Internet speed demons Unless youre a hardcore online gamer theres really no reason why you need to get 1 Gbps fibre broadband plans Since 2015 prices of these ridiculously fast internet speeds have remained low with the cheapest plan at 39 a month Thats pretty affordable We compare all the available plans in Singapore for you here What are the pricings available Gone are the days when a 1 Gbps broadband plan would set you back by 399 a month Price wars among the 6 companies mean that we consumers come out the winners Heres how much a 24month contract would cost you now Plan Price per

1 Feb 2018 StarHub WhizComms and M1 are offering the lowest prices for 1Gbps plans in Singapore They all have low monthly subscriptions but StarHub ekes out the hardfought victory because of their 30 bill rebate which is an online exclusive But of course price is not and should not be the only factor you consider when choosing an ISP How much do you have to pay for a router Its no use having a superfast Internet connection if youre still using a router you got when Mr Goh Chok Tong was Prime Minister Signing up with one of these internet service providers means you can get free or discounted routers Heres what each ISP is offering updated 1 Feb 2018 Router Price StarHub Linksys EA7500 MaxStream AC1900 WiFi Router Free WhizComms AirLive AC1200R WiFi Router Free M1 Unspecified

servers online to know that youre based in Singapore With Freedom DNS you can access previously georestricted content like from YouTube Hulu or even Netflix US Freedom DNS is more convenient than traditional VPNs because it is automatically enabled and doesnt require you to manually change your VPNs region when necessary WhizComms 1 Gbps 40 NTUC vouchers Good for People who prefer going with one of the lowestpriced options rather than being enticed with freebies What are the hidden costs you may incur While all the ISPs do waive fibre termination point installation costs and Optical Network Terminal activation costs you have to take note of the limitations of these waivers For example M1 even though it has one of the lowest monthly subscription waives up to a maximum of 5885 for the Fibre Termination Point Installation and is only valid for weekday installation This means that if you sign up with M1 you may incur more costs if you missed the free Termination Point

LSAT and Law School Admissions Blog The June LSAT and The Law School Wait List Law School Admissions LSAT Prep Dave Killoran on March 1 2016 at 1209 PM Find me on Every year about this time January through the spring in each law school admissions office a Wait List is created Students who arent accepted but also not rejected are put on the Wait List WL and told theres a chance they might get in at some point In other words they get sent to law school admissions purgatory And its not just one or two students Mike Spivey over at law school admissions firm Spivey Consulting Group notes that many schools will WL as much as 4050 of their applicant pool and at times up to half of the entering class will be comprised of those admitted off of the WL Thats a lot of people and if you find yourself on this list the waiting can be an agonizing process Equally challenging is knowing the proper steps to take to get yourself off the Waiting List and into the Accepted pool While Mike talked about those steps in the free PowerScore Law School Admissions Guide what I want to address here is a littleknown trick that can help you get off the WL using the June LSAT to raise your score and get in to law school Students placed on the Wait List can often point to one of two culprits LSAT or GPA Other factors come into playsuch as a subpar personal statement lessthanstellar letters of recommendation or a weak resumebut those can be difficult to quantify whereas a schools 2575 LSAT and GPA numbers are public knowledge If your GPA is low for a school there is little you can do to change your GPA in the shortterm However if your LSAT is low and you find yourself on the Wait List you can use the June LSAT to make a run at improving your First to assuage one big concern if you take the June LSAT and score lower which we hope wont happen you will not imperil your application Law schools typically only look at the highest LSAT score these days so if you cancel or dont do quite as well they wont care As Mike Spivey notes The high score is all that goes to the ABA and the only score USNWR sees Thus the high score means everything to a schools median LSAT and rankings and all other scorestakes are meaningless Put in practical terms it behooves an applicant to take the LSAT as many times as needed until they reach what they deem to be their absolute high score potential To retake for a higher score presents all opportunity with no downside aside from very rare outlier scenarios eg someone with 6 or more takes Second if you can score higher on the June LSAT it can work to benefit you in one of several ways It improves your position on the Wait List Although law schools like to say there is no order or rank to the WL improving your LSAT score gives you a numerical improvement in your position relative to other applicants As Mike Spivey says With so many people on each Wait List the easiest most empirical way to differentiate is with an improved LSAT score The higher the score the more rare it is This is measurable factual and coveted above all else in admissions For many on the WL a simple increase of just 1 to 2 points from the February or June LSAT can make all the difference If your LSAT score is below the schools median taking the test again and scoring higher takes away a reason for not admitting you and makes you more attractive when they move to accept students off the Wait List and every school uses their Wait List If your GPA is lower than their median your LSAT score can offset the problem If you have been Wait Listed adding a few points to an already strong LSAT score makes you even more attractive it becomes less of a tradeoff for themif you have a somewhat low GPA but a really strong LSAT they can justify that trade An increased LSAT score can lead to scholarship offers for applicants admitted off the Wait List Spivey says This is one of those happy scenarios where I have seen hard work and persistence at the LSAT not only get applicants into their dream school but even generate significant scholarship awards for being admitted off of the waitlist So not only can you get accepted but it can improve your financial package as well Some students are concerned that the June LSAT is too late to help them with the Wait List Law school classes typically start in August and sometimes September meaning that the Wait List is used up until then Since every advantage helps even a small one like 2 extra points on the LSAT the results from the June test can be decisive While the optimal strategy is to go out and nail the LSAT the first time and then never take it again for Wait List students the June LSAT can be a silver bullet of sorts held in reserve to use when you need to slay the law school

How Do You Find a Notice of Commencement in Michigan Last Updated on Dec 03 2018 Reading Time 2 minutes Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went in there Have you ever told yourself Ill remember that I dont need to write it down and then forgotten Of course you have Youre human On a construction project a similar phenomenon occurs with the start of a job Construction jobs go on for months and months and potentially years and years When a project gets rolling its incredibly easy to forget exactly when a job began That is its easy to forget that date when a Notice of Commencement isnt present Michigan is one of the very few states that requires a Notice of Commencement to be filed Lets look at the nuts and bolts of the notice Who Files the Michigan Notice of Commencement In Michigan the property owner or lessee is required to file the Notice of Commencement Where Is it Filed The notice is filed with the register of deeds for the county where the property being improved is located The Notice of Commencement must also be posted on the job site so it should be relatively easy to track down When The notice must be filed at the start of the project If for some reason the notice is not filed at the beginning it needs to be filed just after any labormaterials are furnished to the project Whats on the Notice Itself The specifications for the Michigan Notice of Commencement can be found at 5701108 of Michigans mechanics lien statute Here are the basics The projects legal description The name and address of the owner or lessee The name and address of the owner or lessors designee The name and address of the general contractor Download a free Michigan Notice of Commencement Form Template Is this Information that Important Oh yeah For instance subcontractors working on Michigan construction jobs are required to file a Notice of Furnishing to the owner and prime contractor within 20 days of first furnishing labor andor materials to a job Plus youll notice that there is a lot of overlap between the information required on Michigans Notice of Commencement and on a Michigan lien claim For claimants gathering this information can be a virtual nightmare But a Notice of Commencement wraps it up with a neat little bow Preliminary Notice Extended Finally and this may be the most important point If the Notice of Commencement isnt filed the time to provide preliminary notice is extended In Michigan a Notice of Furnishing is generally required within 20 days of first furnishing labor or materials to the project But under Sec 10810 of the lien statute if a Notice of Commencement is not filed that Notice of Furnishing isnt required to be sent until 20 days after the notice of commencement has been recorded Now dont get carried away The notice should still be sent at the start of the project and its a bad idea to try and use a potentially missing Notice of Commencement as an excuse to not send notice But if you forget to send a Notice of Furnishing and the Notice of Commencement wasnt filed you might be in luck Summary Article Name What Is a Michigan Notice of Commencement for a Construction Project Description What is a Michigan Notice of Commencement and how do you find it Michigan is one of five states that requires a Notice of Commencement Author Wynton Yates Publisher Name zlien Publisher Logo Michigan Notice of Commencement Notice of Furnishing Project Data Last Updated on Dec 03 2018 Published on Jul 12 2018 by Wynton Yates Wynton Yates is a Legal Intern at zlien Currently attending Loyola Law School in New Orleans Wynton looks forward to graduating in 2020 Before joining the zlien team Wynton was a television news reporter who often covered some of the nations biggest stories Wynton once played golf at Augusta National but refuses to reveal his score Leading Thought on Construction Payment Delivered To Your Inbox zliens Construction Payment Blog helps professionals in the construction industry navigate complicated payment issues Join over 20000 people who read our blog each month and subscribe
