US Attorney & FBI requested to investigate former AG Schneiderman

Enough is Enough - Former disgraced NY Attorney General Schneiderman must be prosecuted

Assaulting women & covering-up assaults of thousands of women and children with disabilities are serious crimes

What has been exposed publicly by the New Yorker and the victims is only the tip of the iceberg.”

— Michael Carey - Civil Rights & Disability Rights Advocate

ALBANY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, May 9, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Both the US Attorney and the FBI have been requested to investigate former disgraced New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. What has been exposed publicly by the New Yorker and the victims is only the tip of the iceberg.

As a well known Civil Rights and Disability Rights Advocate in New York State I have done everything possible to stop the cover-ups of literally thousands of physical and sexual assaults of women and children with disabilities, but Schneiderman looked the other way and protected the abusers. Public reports allege that Eric Schneiderman is an abuser himself.

People Conceive Fewer Children

Before Recessions – Here’s Why

As mothers are honored around the country this weekend, one expert says we should also keep an eye on mothers-to-be, as their numbers foretell the strength of the economy.

“You would think that people would begin to put off having kids after a recession has already begun,” says Matt Lampert, director of research at the Socionomics Institute (www.socionomics.net) and contributor to such books as The Socionomic Theory of Finance.

“But the data show that people in the aggregate actually tend to start conceiving fewer children before the onset of recessions.”

If that sounds counterintuitive, consider this: Just recently, the National Bureau of Economic Research posted a working paper that showed declines in conceptions preceded the three most recent U.S. recessions. That study confirmed similar work that one of Lampert’s colleagues, Robert Prechter, conducted 19 years ago. Prechter charted data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Dow Jones Industrial Average going all the way back to 1908.

The data revealed that conceptions tended to rise and fall with the stock market. In fact, they were especially in sync with the advance-decline line, a measure of stock market breadth.

“Like the stock market, pregnancies are a leading economic indicator, typically sounding the alarm well before the economy contracts,” Lampert says.

Why is that? Prechter’s socionomic theory, which motivated his research, proposes that trends in social mood regulate trends in social behavior, including those in conceptions, the stock market and economic growth.

Here’s how that all adds up to fewer pregnancies prior to recessions:

• When we’re upbeat. A positive mood prompts feelings of friskiness, daring and confidence, Lampert says. “That inspires people in general to have more children, to send the stock prices higher and to become more productive economically,” he says.
• When we’re downbeat. A negative mood prompts feelings of somberness, defensiveness and fear, Lampert says. “The result is that, overall, people are inclined to have fewer children, to send stock prices lower and to become less productive economically.”
• Why the economy lags the “conception indicator.” “Because people generally can express their friskiness in their trading accounts and in bed sooner than they can expand or contract business, trends in stocks and conception tend to lead trends in the economy,” he says.

At the conclusion of his 1999 study, Prechter noted that conceptions at that time had been falling in recent years despite a growing economy and a mania for stocks on Wall Street. That foretold of trouble ahead, and sure enough, the dot-com collapse began the next year.

“We find ourselves in a similar situation today,” Lampert says. “Births have declined as stocks have soared and the economy has grown. Millennials are delaying marriage and having fewer children.” It sounds like if history is any guide, the economy may soon have contractions of its own.

5 Cautionary Tips for College Grads

Itching to Become Entrepreneurs

As the college Class of 2018 ventures out into the working world, many of them will choose to work for themselves, or at least entertain the thought.

A variety of factors – less security in the traditional job market, more innovation (especially through social media), a desire for more fulfilling work and independence – has led to a steady trend toward entrepreneurship among graduates in the past 10 years.

Recent surveys of graduating classes found nearly half want to become entrepreneurs post-graduation. The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, for example, saw a quintuple increase in its graduates starting their own company during a seven-year study period, according to Business Insider.

Slightly over 50 percent of small businesses fail in their first four years, according to Small Business Trends, but those startup-failure rates apparently don’t deter grads.

“I am amazed at the dramatic increase in interest among students across all disciplines in starting a business,” says Jeremy Greenberg, Entrepreneur in Residence at The Wharton School and founder of Avenue Group (www.AveGroup.com).

“At the same time, while it’s wonderful to have that dream, it’s daunting. Most don’t make it. Most have no idea what they’re getting into. Those who do have to embrace the whole challenge, from learning every step of the way to taking action.”

But Greenberg says there are plenty of cautionary tales they can learn from, and he offers five factors college graduates should seriously consider before taking the leap:

• You can’t do it all. Young entrepreneurs quickly get in over their heads when they wear too many hats or aren’t sure which hats fit. “This is especially common among inventors and technologists with superb ideas but no business-building skills,” Greenberg says. “Very few people are both inventors and operators. Most successful entrepreneurs must determine early on which category they fall into and find a complementary partner/company to provide the skills they lack.”
• Indecisiveness is crippling. Entrepreneurs cannot be stagnant. “Lack of action due to fear of making the wrong decision impedes success and growth,” Greenberg says. “There is inherent risk in starting a company, and, in order to become successful, we must be willing to take risks and make bets along the way.”

• Motivation is not the answer. “Working long hours isn’t enough. It’s the development of new habits that drives lasting behavioral changes,” Greenberg says. “There’s a brief period of motivation required early on when improving our work habits. However, once we make a change in our behavior – be it ever so small – and it becomes a habit, it overrides the need for motivation.
• College debt may slow you way down. This can snuff out start-out hopes. “Getting access to capital is a challenge many small-business owners face, but it can be particularly difficult when you’re saddled with student loans,” Greenberg says. “Being in debt makes self-financing that much tougher and taking on the entrepreneurial dream much harder. Sometimes, having a ‘normal job’ while experimenting with a new company is a good way to mitigate this burden.
• Being overly optimistic is dangerous. “It’s easier to believe in your business when you’re growing it, but there will always be setbacks and you have to be prepared, starting with adding a cushion to your budget,” Greenberg says. “It’s amazing, all the costs associated with starting a business. The only thing you know for sure about a planned budget is that it’s wrong – and 99 percent of the time it’s wrong in a negative way for the business.”

“We do not need to sacrifice our lives for a business,” Greenberg says. “You have to decide early on if it’s worth all the sacrifice. It certainly can be, once the foundation is set, and if you have a passion for it.”
