This honor recognizes their exceptional dedication to teaching Classics, including Greek and Latin languages and culture. GCPS Director Dr. Virin Vedder praised their passion and highlighted Parkview High’s rare back-to-back wins, with last year’s recipient, Keith Toda, passing the award to Ash. The Merens Award is ACL’s highest honor, given annually to four educators with at least five years of membership. STORY 2: Rowen moving closer to construction of first buildings The Rowen “knowledge community” in eastern Gwinnett is nearing its first major milestone, with plans to break ground on the Convergence Center in 2026. This center will serve as the foundation’s headquarters and a hub for partners within the Rowen Village, a mixed-use area featuring offices, labs, housing, retail, and parks. With infrastructure now complete, Rowen aims to attract companies in life sciences, biotech, and ag tech, supported by partnerships with top Georgia universities and organizations. Expected to create 100,000 jobs over decades, Rowen is positioning itself as a major innovation hub, akin to North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park. STORY 3: Former Gwinnett deputy IT director facing forgery charges Former Gwinnett County Deputy IT Director James Smith was arrested for allegedly altering financial documents to redirect county funds. Charged with computer theft, forgery, and attempted theft, Smith’s actions were flagged by the county’s Treasury Division on May 15, prompting a nearly two-week investigation.

ISO consultancy isn't a field many aspire to enter, mostly because many don't know it exists until you're tasked with either managing an existing ISO Management System or implementing a brand new one. We're continuing with our latest mini-series where we introduce members of our team, to explore how they fell into the world of ISO and discuss the common challenges they face while helping clients achieve ISO certification.   In this episode we introduce Alison Henshaw, an Isologist® at Blackmores, to learn about her journey from aspiring pub-landlord to becoming an ISO Consultant, and what drives her to help clients on their ISO journey.   You'll learn ·      What is Ali's role at Blackmores? ·      What does Ali enjoy outside of consultancy? ·      What path did Ali take to become an ISO Consultant? ·      What is the biggest challenge she's faced when implementing ISO Standards? ·      What is Ali's biggest achievement?   Resources ·      Isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – We introduce Alison Henshaw (Ali), an Isologist® here at Blackmores, to discuss her journey towards becoming an ISO consultant who specialises in ISO 20400 and ISO 26000. [03:45] What is Ali's role at Blackmores? Ali is an Isologist® with Blackmores, supporting companies with maintaining systems, undertaking internal audits, and supporting with implementing new systems to gain certification utilising our Isology methodology. [04:00] What does Ali enjoy doing outside of consultancy?: Ali has a daughter aged 5, so a lot of her social life revolves around play dates and kids parties. As a family, they are very outdoor orientated, enjoying long walks and camping. In the past Ali enjoyed swimming, often visiting family near the coast to make use of the more bracing bodies of water. She also likes to craft, recently taking up knitting as her mum often knits for different charitable causes. So far, she's mastering the art of the knitted rectangle, which lends itself nicely to scarves and blankets. Lastly, Ali is also a fan of photography due to her father sharing a similar interest. Most of her subject matter revolves around family and the outdoors. [06:45] What was Ali's path towards becoming an ISO Consultant?: Ali states that none of her working roles so far have been purposeful, rather more serendipitous. She started managing pubs at the age of 18, after which she did relief management where she would cover different manager absences in pubs near her home. The owner of the pub she was working with at the time was looking to sell, and for a time, her plan had to been to buy and run it. Unfortunately, as she was only 18, she needed to have some form of business qualification to allow her to progress with that. This led to Ali starting a part-time business management degree, At the time one of her pub regulars was recruiting for the production departments on a shift basis. So she ended up packing wallpaper on a factory floor for 3 days a week while earning her degree. Sadly, by the time she had earned her degree, the pub she wanted to buy had been knocked down and turned into a block of flats! Though, after working in a different industry for 2 years she came to reevaluate her desire to run pubs, and came to the conclusion that she rather preferred the manufacturing industry and it's ability to create something. Ali also enjoyed the people within the factory she had been working at, and opted to stay there with her mentor, the Technical Manager, who offered her a place in the technical floor. So began her new role as the quality assurance technician. This progressed as Ali worked her way up through Assistant quality tech to quality tech, to assistant quality manager to quality manager. Her mentor at the time was phasing out to retire, so Ali was essentially his legacy plan. When he did retire Ali became the Quality Technical R&D and Health and Safety Manager. While in that role Ali implemented ISO 9001, in addition to business research and development programmes for product and process development compliance. Which amounted to sitting on trade association technical committees, monitoring upcoming legislation and also contributing to British technical committees that helped write the legislation for the wall-coverings sector. She later went onto help them implement ISO 45001. Ali then had her daughter, Angie, during lockdown. For as much as she loves the manufacturing sectors, the worktime for those roles isn't very flexible. She knew that when looking back, she would rather have spent more time with her daughter than working, so she wanted to find something with a bit more flexibility to allow her to spend quality time with her family. It wasn't an easy decision by any means, but she was drawn to consultancy due to the variety of work and clients and the increased flexibility it would allow. She Started to work with Blackmores following lockdown, appreciating the family values that our business was built on. Here she shares the sentiment: “I'm very rarely the smartest person in the room, and we learn so much from each other.” Going on to say that the varied background of Blackmores consultants offers insight into so many other industries, and she's drawn on their experience of how to apply ISO Standards in the real world. [14:15] What is Ali's favourite aspect of being a Consultant? – Ali enjoys working with SME's due to her background of working with a 4th generation family owned business. They can often see the value in ISO Standards, and Ali works with them to ensure that do what they do best while working towards certification. Many businesses simply gain ISO as a tick box for tenders or stakeholder requirements, which isn't necessarily bad, it's just how things work in the real world. But Ali figures that if they have to get it, get it right by ensuring it drives internal improvements. Often times clients are pleasantly surprised by all the benefits of effective ISO implementation. Ali's favourite clause in Standards is 6.2 Objectives as they drive proactive improvement in businesses. The key is to truly embed them in business processes and practices to ensure they are being achieved. This is something that even mature management systems can get wrong. She's seen cases where Objectives were one person's responsibility, which can lead to them being a separate part of the management system. They need that lightbulb moment from leadership to realise the function of objectives to drive the whole business by taking a more proactive stance. Many times, Ali's heard of fantastic internal initiatives being run in a business without them being tied to any objective. By making them an objective, people can make a case for more time, resources and people to complete it, in addition to making the outcome a quantifiable and measurable metric for continual improvement. [17:35] Practice what we preach – Ali has helped re-shape how we at Blackmores approach our sustainability objectives, turning them into something we can measure the impact of. As Ali states: “The want for perfection stops progress”. It admirable to strive for perfection, but it isn't realistic and it often hinders any meaningful progress. When it comes to things like sustainability, you should want to drive improvement now. [18:55] What Standards does Ali specilaise in and why? Starting with: ·      ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement: This is a guidance Standard thar businesses can align with to ensure their procurement practices are sustainable. This extends to the supply chain, expanding each businesses sphere of influence.   ·      ISO 26000 Social Responsibility: Another guidance Standard that acts a solid foundation for businesses looking at starting their ESG journey. It tackles the human element of sustainability, in addition to consideration for fair labour practices and community support.    ·      ISO 9001 Quality Management: The first Standard Ali implemented, and the core foundation that many businesses start with when diving into the world of ISO Standards.    ·      ISO 14001 Environmental Management: Ali is a fan of sustainability in general, enjoying it's tangible impacts and the creativity in the many ways people can incorporate it into their business. ·      ISO 45001 Health and Safety Management: The second standard Ali implemented, it's also one of the core 3 ISO's that businesses tend to implement. It's importance as a tool to prevent harm to humans cannot be understated. ·      ISO 50001 Energy Management and ISO 20121 Sustainable Events: Ali helps to audit these standards, once again these fall into her preference of sustainability as a focus. It's clear to see that Ali loves Sustainability and safety based Standards, and the reason is mostly due to ensuring there is a bright future for her daughter. Ultimately, she aims to help people and wants to work with Standards that can make a real difference. [22:05] What is the biggest challenge Ali had faced during a project and how did he overcome it?: The confidence clients have in themselves. People are very knowledgeable about what they do and the processes involved, but because they aren't familiar with ISO speak they feel very lost when implementing a standard. Ali's main role is translating that ISO speak, and assuring clients that they're already covering key points such as risks, opportunities and what they're doing to address them. For many businesses, it's simply a case of dotting the I's and crossing the t's ahead of certification. The challenge for Ali is to build that confidence in clients ahead of their Stage 1 and 2 Assessments. This is where internal audits come in handy, they act as dummy runs of the assessment. Ali can reaffirm what is meant by each clause and what it relates to in terms of the business activities or certain documentation. She also reminds clients that they can question the assessor if they don't understand how they've worded a questions. It's up to the assessor to make themselves understood.   Assessors also understand that your management system will be immature on it's first certification, it's simply a starting point on which you'll build and continually improve. [27:15] What is Ali's proudest achievement?   ·      Changing careers: Ali saw herself retiring in her previous role and so it was a significant change to make the leap to consultancy. She still loves the manufacturing and wall-covering industry, and will always have a keen interest in it, but she can now see herself retiring in a consultancy role. ·      Having Angie: Her daughter is one of her proudest achievements, but it also scared everything out of her. It put her at her physical limit, and she's quite happy to have an only child, ensuring that she gets to spend as much time with as possible while she's growing up. ·      Doing a skydive: As part of a ‘Before your 30' list with friends, Ali took part in a skydive. Which she admits was horrendous and not something she would do again, but she's proud to have pushed past the fear as getting out of your comfort zone is often the key to growth.

While structured data elements such as patient identifier, medicine name and reaction, are fundamental for adverse event reporting, they may not capture all relevant details. This is where the narrative fields come in, allowing reporters to disclose important contextual information, such as the patient's full clinical course. But how do PV assessors interact with these narratives in spontaneous reports? What needs and challenges do they experience? These and other questions were addressed in an exploratory interview study by UMC researchers Joana Félix and Alem Zekarias.  Tune in to find out:What challenges are PV assessors faced with, when working with narratives? How could automation of certain tasks help streamline narrative analyses in the future?How can reporters craft narratives that effectively document adverse events? Want to know more?Pharmacovigilance assessors' experiences interacting with narrative fields in spontaneous reports: an exploratory interview study – poster presented at the 23rd ISoP Annual Meeting “Global Perspectives on Pharmacovigilance in the Digital Age and Advanced Therapeutics”, 1–5 October 2024 Montreal, Canada.Current Challenges in Pharmacovigilance: Pragmatic Approaches, by The Council for International Organisations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).

The sensationalized headlines around heated municipal meetings targeting municipal tax assessment changes, and property reevaluation haven't offered much in the way of educating the public around the root causes of Mill Rate  and property tax bill increases.So Potholes & Politics is taking a deeper dive. Trust us...this is 58 minutes you won't want to miss. (Hint: It ain't because of those "greedy" volunteer municipal select boards and councils.) This episode is the first installment of many that could be renamed a new series called: "Why did my property taxes go up?" with Kerry Leichtman, Camden and Rockport's Tax Assessor."Mill" is derived from the Latin word "millesimum", meaning thousandth. As used in property tax, 1 mill is equal to $1 in property tax levied per $1,000 of a property's assessed value.Kerry explains what is happening with municipal tax assessment, why reevaluations are necessary, and how your tax bill is tied to the massive influx of property hungry and cash flush buyers. Bonus: There is at least one really bad "Dad Joke" in this episode!

Former Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler discusses the House Speaker situation

One of the most crucial steps to gaining your ISO certification is the completion of a Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessment, conducted by an accredited Certification Body. A quick reminder - your certification doesn't mean much if you haven't received certification from an accredited Certification Body – so make sure you do your research! Businesses going through their final Assessments to gain ISO certification may see any decisions made by Certification Body Assessors as infallible, however there's still a very human aspect which can lead to some common pitfalls. Last week we dived into the requirements of ISO 17021 – the Conformity Assessment Standard designed for Certification Bodies, and more specifically the requirements in relation to you as a client. In this weeks' episode, Steve Mason joins Mel once again to share some issues raised by Blackmores' clients against Certification Bodies, and explains the related rules in ISO 17021 which Certification Bodies should abide by.   You'll learn ●      What is ISO 17021? ●      Key issues raised by Blackmores' clients in relation to Certification Bodies ●      Related ISO 17021 requirements   Resources ●      isologyhub ●      ISO 17021   In this episode, we talk about: [00:24] What is ISO 17021? It's the Conformity Assessment Standard designed for Certification Bodies. In effect, it acts as a service level agreement. These are the rules that these certification bodies need to comply with if they are accredited by an accreditation body like UKAS. Listen to the previous episode to learn more. [01:10] What are we focusing on in this episode? There have been some issues raised by some of our clients time and time again over the last 6 – 8 months.  We want to break some of these issues down, and help listeners to understand what are the actual rules around these areas in relation to ISO 17021. [01:40] Issue #1: Cancellations – Sometimes a cancellation is unavoidable, however there are still rules that any Certification Body needs to follow – most importantly they should notify the client. Steve shares his experience with an Assessor who was due to show up on the 5th September 2023, and never turned up! it turned out that whilst the date was in the previous report, it had been removed from his diary, but it hadn't then been put into somebody else's diary, and because it hadn't been put into somebody else's diary, there was no flag to anybody to let the client know that the visits should take place. Now that visit had to be pushed back into January next year, which is the only time we can make it. [02:50] Balancing Expectations –  There's an expectation from certification bodies that clients should not cancel a month or less than a month before they visit. Steve recommends that should apply to certification bodies cancelling for clients too. There are many considerations to Certification Body visits, including:- cost, scheduling the right people to be present, setting time aside for the audit ect. [04:30] One-sided penalties – Penalties seem to be very one-sided. For example: if the client cancelled two or three weeks beforehand because they had personal circumstances which meant that they couldn't attend, they would be penalised and would have to pay in full for that visit. Yet the certification body can not show up on a day, and there's no compensation whatsoever. [05:10] This is not the norm for Certification Bodies – A reminder that the issues were raising are not the norm for Certification Bodies – however we are seeing an increase of complaints raised by our clients. This may have been exacerbated due to the recent shortage of Assessors. [05:50] Issue #2: Planning Audits - Another issue that's been cropping up is about planning audits - not just surveillance audits, but also stage 1 and stage 2 Assessments. In regards to ISO 17021, Certification Bodies should be providing an Stage 1 Audit plan to the client to detail what will happen during the visit. That plan is often not happening, or there's a generic plan that gets sent out by the certification body which bears no relevance to what the assessor ends up doing. So that's as useful as a chocolate teapot. It should be sent a month ahead of the visit, not 2 -3 days before the visit takes place. Companies need time to organise the right people and Certification Bodies need to be considerate of that fact. [07:35] Steve's experience with a poor Audit plan from a Certification Body – Steve had an occasion where he had to write a plan on behalf of the Certification Body Assessor for the client as they'd neglected to even send one! Steve used to be an Assessor, so is familiar with how these plans should be structured. The designated Assessor ended up using his plan – but this should not have been the case. [07:58] Poor planning -  There have been instances where the planning has been so poor that they send the wrong Assessor to a client site. We've had experiences where an ISO 27001 Audit was due to take place and the Assessor turned up expecting to Audit against ISO 9001. [08:50] What should Certification Bodies be providing following a Stage 1 Assessment visit? -  After your Stage 1, you should have another plan come out of that stage, after what's known as the Programme Management Day.  The reason for that is because the assessor sometimes needs to go away, look at what they've written up, and take into account what they've heard from the client, and put a reasonable plan in place. The assessor should then sit down with the client to discuss the plan and what sites are going to be visited during the Stage 2 Assessment. [09:30] Using the right language -  Often we see plans come out with language in the plans that is alright for certification body, but the client has no idea what the assessor is going on about. Steve always used to sit down with his clients and say right, ‘what language do you want me to use?' And then would use their language and would also put the clause from the related standard next to that and say ‘that's the bit I'm going to audit'. You're writing the plan for the customer, not for yourself. It also acts as assurance for a potential replacement Assessor if the first Assessor is off sick and can't make the next visit. [11:33] What does ISO 17021 say? -  In clause 9, ISO 17021 states that: the certification should ensure that the audit plan is established prior to each audit identified in the audit programme to provide the basis for agreement regarding the conduct and scheduling of the audit activities. If they fail to put a plan in place, they are not meeting a requirement. ISO 17021 also says that if you've got an organisation that's got different sites, then the plan should take into account the different sites and whether the visit is going to be on site off site – as remote audits have become more common place post-pandemic. [12:35] Steve's experience with a flimsy plan provided by a Certification Body -  ‘I came across an audit plan which was just a list of all the requirements a standard. It was across 5 days. But there was no indication as to which day those requirements were going to be assessed. There's no indication as to how long each of those requirements are going to be assessed? So what could the client do to prepare for that?' Steve did say to client send it back and get a proper plan, but they have absolutely no joy with the certification body. [13:50] Issue #3: Unnecessary charges -  Mel recounts a recent incident where a Certification Body cancelled 2 site visits, and due to the long delay between rebooking, the client had moved office. However, they only relocated a few doors down in one instance and across the road in another. The client then received a quote for an extension to scope – amounting to 3 extra days due to the address change! Mel checked ISO 17021 and confirmed that an extension to scope is only applicable if changing what you're doing or you're adding a new location to the scope – however if you're using the exact same scope and are only moving your business from one location to the next – it is not an extension to scope, it's just a change of address. Steve recounts a similar instance where a client was charged £160 for the address to be changed on their certificate! Which is a ridiculous and unnecessary admin fee which only serves to upset the client. [17:50] Issue #4: No disclosure of the appeals process -  if client a company isn't happy with their nonconformities, there is an appeals process, which is a requirement of ISO 17021. Steve highlights an incident where an Assessor told a client ‘don't bother with the appeals process because it'll only delay the delivery your certificate' – Which was highly unprofessional of that particular Assessor to say. The appeals process there is there to help clients if they disagree with their assessor, and allow them to go to a sort of third party that's within the certification body and say, look, I don't agree with this. Can you explain why it's a nonconformity? Top tip: If you do get a non-conformity that you're confused about – Ask the Assessor to show you where in the standard it requires you to do that. If an assessor cannot show you that, then it is not a nonconformity. [20:30] The complaints process -  The complaints process really is not about appealing against a nonconformity, but complaining against perhaps not getting your plans in your reports and all that sort of thing. [21:20] These issues are not the norm – don't be put off ISO certification! -  While we have noticed an increase in complaints in the last year, we also want to highlight that these have mostly been for 1 or 2 select Certification Bodies. On the whole, Certification Bodies provide a wonderful service to their clients. We just wanted to bring their code of practice to your attention, that you can check ISO 17021 to verify that the Certification Body is being fair to you and fulfilling their own requirements in relation to customer service. [23:35] Receiving reports -  Lastly a reminder that reports to clients following visits should not take months to get to them. Clients should expect reports from Assessors in 2 – 3 days – not months!

In this episode, host Taylor Loht interviews Rahul Patel, a commercial real estate attorney, investor, and entrepreneur. They discuss common mistakes new real estate investors make, how to structure LOIs and contingencies, fighting property tax increases, Rahul's background, and more. Rahul shares wisdom and advice from his extensive experience in law, business, real estate, and angel investing.   Chapters & Key Takeaways:   [00:02] Opening Segment   Mitigating risk in offers: Engage experts you want to work with before making offers. Structure offers with ample due diligence periods. Don't take on excessive deposits/earnest money you can't afford to lose.   [00:11] Avoiding Rookie Real Estate Mistakes with Attorney & Investor Rahul Patel   Structuring LOIs: Be transparent about needing extensions upfront rather than trying to negotiate later from a weaker position. Offer to pay fees for extensions. This builds a reputation with reputable sellers. Property tax disputes: File lawsuits to dispute unrealistic increased assessments. Reducing assessed value leads to exponential tax savings over time. Common assessment errors: Assessors use mass appraisal processes with limited time and resources. Owners know details assessors miss that justify lower valuations.   [00:26] Closing Segment Best investment: Invest in people and teams rather than trying to do everything solo. Creates accountability, new perspectives and is more rewarding. Worst investment: Investing time and energy into businesses relying on other individuals' success rather than your own direct control. Important lesson: Have a short memory of losses and don't dwell on past decisions - focus on the next win. Quitting can be winning if you learn lessons about why something didn't work out.   Connect with Rahul:   Website: https://www.patelgaines.com/   Key Quotes: "I think the biggest mistake that I see people really doing is, is trying to figure out how to make maximum money on every deal, especially in the early onset." Rahul Patel "If you have not gained an expertise in something, then you need to really obtain the services of an expert." Rahul Patel "Investing in people around you that fit your culture, that's a great investment because I think it just, it pays dividends to what you're trying to do."

If you are going for certification, or currently manage a certified ISO Management System, then you should also be aware of ISO 17021 ahead of any Assessments or Surveillance audits conducted by an accredited Certification Body. ISO 17021 sets out requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of management systems. It ensures that Certification Bodies provide a reliable assessment of compliance with the applicable requirements, carried out by a competent impartial audit team, to achieve a consistent result for all clients. So, why should you be aware of this Standard in particular? ISO 17021 also establishes what you as a client should expect from your Certification Body. Steve Mason, Managing Consultant at Blackmores, joins Mel to discuss what ISO 17021 is, why you should be aware of it and the requirements related to expected service delivery from Certification Bodies. You'll learn ●      What is ISO 17021 ●      The difference between accredited and non-accredited certification bodies ●      A brief overview of the Standard and client related requirements   Resources ●      isologyhub ●      International Accreditation Forum ●      ISO 17021   In this episode, we talk about: [01:40] Why are we talking about ISO 17021 now? In our internal Team Meetings, Certification Bodies are an established talking point. Highlighting the good and the bad, but in recent months it's been more on the negative side. Steve had highlighted ISO 17021 as the Standard to look at in regard to expected service delivery requirements from Certification Bodies – so here we are! [03:00] What is ISO 17021? The reason for the standard is that it ensures that all certification bodies are delivering the same level of service to all customers. Certification Bodies don't need to be certified to other standards such as ISO 9001, as ISO 17021 was specifically designed for the purpose of delivering certifications. It's also the standard where you can find out what's expected of Certification Bodies – like a Terms and Conditions or service level agreement. [05:00] The difference between accredited and non-accredited Certification Bodies - Go back and watch episode 19 to learn more. [06:10] Why is it important that the Certification Body is accredited? –  Accreditation proves that the Certification Body is being checked by another body. Accreditation is also recognised worldwide – it's trusted as a gold standard of performance. There are many different accreditation bodies around the world, here in the UK it's UKAS, but there are others such as ANAB in the US. Check out the International Accreditation Forum website to confirm the accreditation body for your country. [08:10] Ultimately, a Certification Body can't offer accredited certification services unless they've actually been assessed by the applicable accreditation body to ISO 17021, and they need to do that on an ongoing basis like any other certification. They also may not be accredited to deliver every standard they offer – so make sure you verify with the certification body that they are in fact accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 27001 ect. [09:15] A brief overview of what's included in ISO 17021 – A lot of the clauses before this are really about the management of certification body, but when it comes to clause 9, this is where the customer becomes a lot more involved in the requirements. It covers topics such as planning audits, conducting audits, certification decision making, maintaining certification, the appeals process, the complaints process and then keeping client records. Clause 9 in particular is where you, as a client, should focus. [11:00] What core principles are described in ISO 17021? - Impartiality, competence, responsibility, openness, confidentiality, responsiveness to complaints, risk based approach and legal responsibilities. [12:20] What personal behaviors should you expect from your assessor? – In Steve's experience, he's seen more and more assessors not living up to the requirements of ISO 17021. This could be for a number of reasons, i.e. they could have an uncooperative client, they may not have had adequate training, perhaps there's a break down between clients and client managers. Either way, these are a few of the qualities that Assessors should embody: ethical, fair, truthful, sincere, honest, discrete and open-minded. [14:00] A lack of open mindedness -  Steve had encountered an Assessor that stated ‘This must be wrong because I've never seen it done that way' – which is not open minded in the least. This resulted in a non-conformity which should have never been raised. ISO 17021, clause 9.4.5 states that any non-conformity raised shall be recorded against a specific requirement in the Standard being audited. Assessors need to take heed not to assess to their preference. [15:15] Top Tip -  If you get asked a question, then give an answer and they raise that as a non-conformity that you're unsure as to why it's being raised - it's always worth asking the Assessor to show you where in the standard they're raising the non-conformity against. It's a case of clarifying the question and verifying what they're raising a non-conformity against, and if there's a justification for it. If there is, then great, they're doing a great job! If not, it may be the Assessor's personal bias, and there's a chance you can get that non-conformity down to an opportunity for improvement. [17:05] Other expected traits for Assessors to be aware of -  Collaborative: It should be a partnership between the client and Assessor – they want what's best for you. Tenacious: This can sometimes be taken too far. For example, if your Assessor it still assessing past 5pm, tell them to go home. If they need more time, then it's up to the certification body to work that one out. Other basic traits include: Observational, being perceptive and versatile.

For this episode, we have the impressive Attorney Regal Olivia from the Philippines who is a lawyer, a human rights activist, a fashion icon, a loving parent and the list goes on.  This is PART one of a two-part piece. The conversation begins in Mandaue City known as the ‘Gay town of the Philippine's that has a history of supporting the LGBT community.  This city is the first to host a trans pageant, support and fund gay rights advocacy, and pass an ordinance to protect diverse members of the LGBT community. On the topic of success, Regal does not consider herself successful. She believes it's a long road ahead and mentions that it's the people you meet who will define your journey. To her, success comes with contentment and she is happy for the loving and supportful relationships she has. The conversation turns to culture, where Regal shares with us her past visits to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and mentions a sisterhood city in Ayabe, Kyoto. As well as her passion for fashion, Regal wants to let the listeners know the warmth and positivity of the Philippines alongside the most beautiful beaches, women, foods, entertainment, and so on. The talk covers the TedTalk by Regal and explains the reasons masks people wear to survive, in this case for transpeople who it becomes more difficult to camouflage within a society with conservative laws and policies that restrict the freedom to be oneself as an LGBT individual. ~~~Atty.

MDJ  Script/ Top Stories for May 18th Thursday Publish Date: May 17, Wednesday   Henssler :15,  Bed Music fires From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast    Today is Thursday May the 18th, and happy 75th birthday to “Mr. October” Reggie Jackson ***Jackson Highlight*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the top stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia Marietta homeowners issued incorrect tax estimates by Cobb County Board of Assessors Georgia churches have right to vote on leaving Methodists, Cobb judge rules And a Lawsuit challenges constitutionality of city of Mableton Plus we'll hear from Leah McGrath of Ingles Markets about high grocery prices, then later in the show Gary Crawford of the USDA will have thoughts on that same topic. All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.   Commercial : CU of GA STORY 1  Tax   According to Marietta spokesperson Lindsey Wiles, many homeowners in Cobb County may notice an incorrect increase in their estimated city tax amount on the 2023 notice of assessments. This discrepancy is due to the omission of the floating homestead exemption, which is a tax relief measure for qualified homeowners exempting them from taxation on reassessed residential property value increases. Wiles clarified that the floating homestead exemption is still applicable for City of Marietta taxpayers, and it reduces the taxable amount owed. The city's upcoming property tax bills in August will reflect the correct reduction, as the city's millage rate has decreased for the past four years. Taxpayers are encouraged to contact the city of Marietta Tax Division for any inquiries or concerns. STORY 2: Church ** Christian Jamar Harris, a 32-year-old man from Acworth, Georgia,  was arrested on April 27 for possessing over 100 videos of In a lawsuit between 185 Georgia churches and the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church (UMC), a Cobb County judge ruled on Tuesday that the churches have the right to vote on leaving the denomination. The dispute stemmed from the conference's pause on the disaffiliation process, which allows UMC churches to separate and retain assets if they disagree with the denomination's stance on LGBTQ participation. Cobb Superior Court Senior Judge Stephen Schuster's decision grants the plaintiffs' request to lift the pause and proceed with disaffiliation voting. This ruling reflects the ongoing schism within the UMC regarding social issues such as same-sex marriage and LGBTQ ordination.     Story 3: Lawsuit   Five residents of Mableton have filed a lawsuit in Cobb Superior Court, claiming that the legislation enabling the creation of the city is unconstitutional. The suit challenges the constitutionality of House Bill 839, which authorized the creation of Mableton as a city and community improvement districts (CIDs). The plaintiffs argue that the bill violates the state constitution's single subject rule by creating separate units of local government in one act. They also contend that including the creation of the city and the CIDs in the same ballot question violates legal precedent. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment ruling that HB 839 and the city itself are void. The residents are represented by attorney Allen Lightcap, who previously challenged the constitutionality of proposed cities in Cobb County. The opposition to Mableton's incorporation has been ongoing, with a group campaigning against it and requesting de-annexation of certain areas.......…..we'll be right back   Break:   ESOG– Dayco   Story 4: Sentence   A man from East Cobb, Donald Terry Welborn Jr., has pleaded guilty to shooting at police officers and his neighbors while intoxicated and has been sentenced to 18 years in prison. The incident occurred on September 22, 2020, when Welborn fired shots at his home while his wife and daughter were present. He then threatened to shoot officers who attempted to convince him to leave. During a standoff, Welborn continued to shoot at police officers, with bullets hitting nearby houses and treetops. The incident lasted for hours, causing fear and distress for the neighboring families. Welborn pled guilty to multiple counts of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He will serve the first 18 years of a 35-year sentence in prison.   STORY 5: Armed Robbery   A 24-year-old named Angel Saenz has been sentenced to eight years in prison for an armed robbery that took place at a hotel in January 2022. Saenz pleaded guilty to several charges, including armed robbery, aggravated assault, obstruction, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The incident occurred at the Extended Stay America Hotel in Cobb, where Saenz held Danielle Roberts at gunpoint and stole her cellphone. Police identified Saenz through a photo of his driver's license found on the scene. He was later arrested, and authorities discovered a handgun, suspected narcotics, and confirmed heroin possession. Saenz also pleaded guilty to additional drug and firearm-related charges. The sentence was handed down by Superior Court Judge Sonja Brown.     STORY 6: Historic   And Now, Leah McGrath of Ingles Markets joins our Bruce Jenkins to talk about high grocery prices:   ***Leah***   More community News after this   Break  Drake– Elon   Story 7: Developer   At a Board of Commissioners zoning hearing in east Cobb, Kenneth Clary withdrew his application for developing 18 homes on 13 acres of land that included the historic Power-Jackson Cabin. Clary's attorney cited the need to address concerns raised during the application process. Initially requesting 20 homes, opposition persisted even as the number of lots was reduced. Historic preservation group Cobb Landmarks requested Clary's assistance in relocating and reconstructing the cabin for public display. The preservation of the cabin, a cemetery on the site, and the condition of two dams were contentious issues throughout the rezoning process.
