The need for web accessibility is growing, and there are many tools to make your website more accessible. These tools can help by pointing out issues and suggesting potential solutions. In many cases, however, these tools are not enough for a website to be fully compliant with the latest web accessibility standards. This is because there are web accessibility guidelines set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a leading international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the web. In order to be fully compliant with these guidelines, there are a number of complex requirements that need to be addressed by developers and designers. This adds significant time and costs to a project.
This is where an automated tool like accessiBe comes in handy. It offers a unique approach towards web accessibility automation by utilizing two applications that together achieve full compliance. First, the accessibility interface is in charge of all UI and design-related changes. At the same time, the AI-powered background process takes care of more complicated tasks like optimization for screen readers and keyboard navigation.

If you are new to freelancing, you may have a lot of questions about what it is and how it works. You may not know where to start. If you’re reading this post, chances are, you’re working from home. But the truth is, there’s more to being a successful freelancer than just getting clients.
To be a successful freelancer, you need to protect yourself from any financial mistakes that may occur. Here are five ways to protect yourself as a freelancer.
Conduct Thorough Client Research
Don’t work with clients who have a bad attitude. Find out as much as you can about them before you agree to work together. Ask for references and check them out. Are they reliable and ethical? Do they pay on time? Do they have a good rapport with their customers? These are important questions you should ask yourself before you sign on the dotted line.
Never Work Without a Contract
It doesn’t matter how good your client is if they don’t have a legal obligation to pay you. Always have a written contract that specifies the project details, the deadline, the fees, and the responsibilities of both parties.
A written contract is the only way to protect yourself as a...
Ken Julian of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP is a well-known white-collar defense lawyer with expertise in the Federal False Claims Act and how it affects health care. He discusses the opioid crisis, how it relates to health care fraud, and what types of companies have been affected by the government’s response.
Julian told us, “The opioid crisis is a problem that has been festering and worsening for many years, and it is starting to gain momentum as a priority for law enforcement. So we’re seeing additional prosecutions of opioid manufacturers and distributors. In addition, the Department of Justice (DOJ) recently announced a new program called the Opioid Fraud and Abuse Detection Unit. This is a pilot program that will be spearheaded by the United States Attorney’s Offices for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the Southern District of Ohio, together with agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Health and Human Services-Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG). The idea here is that the government will be using data analytics to examine the information from Medicare and other sources to look for fraud...

The online gambling industry has seen unprecedented growth in the last decade, becoming legalized in some American states in recent years. But where did it all begin?
Early web casinos

This software provider is credited with revolutionizing the industry and paving the road for today’s sophisticated programs in modern internet gambling sites.
Indeed, Microgaming remains an industry giant today, with a reputation as a trusted software provider. Its programs range the gamut of gambling activities from casino games to live poker rooms.

NFTs are interesting for people to explore, as they are growing in prominence. But with there being so many choices for NFTs, it can be challenging to find something worthwhile of an investment.
I talked with Ryan Hoggan, a leading Venture Capitalist, about some of the top NFTs and asked about his takes on these groups. Hoggan has been one of the most prominent cryptocurrency and real estate investors over the years, and he’s entered the NFT industry as of late.
The CryptoPunks group is by far the most popular NFT collective out there. What makes CryptoPunks so popular?
I see you’ve been looking at the top NFTs on OpenSea as of late. Yes, they are dominant on that chart, but there’s a good reason for this point.
CryptoPunks is one of the oldest NFT groups around, as they’ve been working since 2017. They helped inspire the main open standard that is used to produce NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain.
I expect CryptoPunks to continue to grow in popularity, especially as so many people are spending immense amounts of money on some of the NFTs the group offers. The fact that people are spending millions of dollars on some of them is interesting to see....
Are you looking into moving but are worried about footing the bill for a new home while waiting for a buyer for your old one? A bridge loan could be the solution for you to cover the down payment on your new place. While this does seem like a solid solution for a homeowner, they may need some legal assistance to overcome any hurdles between lenders. Allow us to explain how that helping hand in real estate law could spare some future troubles.
Understanding Bridge Loans
When consulting with a bridge loan lender, you’ll get insight into this form of short-term financing. Bridge loans are secured by collateral, that collateral more than likely be your current house that you’re looking to sell. Also known as gap financing, these loans typically have an interest rate between 8.5-10.5%. While those rates could be alarming, the application and underwriting process for a bridging loan is generally faster than for traditional loans.
Applicants who qualify for a mortgage to purchase their new home more than likely qualify for a bridge loan. This quick access to funds to purchase a new house is a greater draw than mildly distracts from the higher interest rate. A...
