    Former Financial Advisor Turns Children’s Author In Stunning Debut About Wildlife Heroism

    NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / Retired financial advisor and devoted mother Carole Couture unveils her heartwarming and action-packed children’s book, The Adventures of Pablo the Pangolin, a jungle tale that tackles illegal animal trafficking through the eyes of an unlikely hero – a wide-eyed, ant-loving pangolin.

    Set deep in the vibrant Asian jungle, Pablo the Pangolin introduces young readers to a world of friendship, danger, and courage. With the help of his friends – a clever monkey named Samba and a magnificent bird named Martin – Pablo must escape ruthless animal hunters and learn the true power of unity and bravery. The story ends on a hopeful note, reinforcing themes of wildlife protection and compassion.

    “I wanted to create stories that reflect the values that shaped my life: love, cooperation, and acceptance,” said Carole Couture, who began writing after retiring from a 30-year career in finance and raising her son with Down syndrome. “These stories are for him – and for every child who needs to believe in the magic of friendship and doing what’s right.”

    Carole, now 62, has authored over 60 children’s stories inspired by her son, her passion for nature, and her deep belief in storytelling as a healing, joyful force.

    The Adventures of Pablo the Pangolin is the first in a planned series, delivering colorful illustrations and meaningful life lessons with every page.

  • The Critical Need for Governance, Risk, and Compliance in Healthcare AI

    The Critical Need for Governance, Risk, and Compliance in Healthcare AI

    TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / May 19, 2025 / As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms healthcare, organizations face unprecedented opportunities-and risks. From clinical decision support to patient engagement, AI-enabled technologies promise efficiency and innovation. However, without robust governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) frameworks, these advancements can lead to ethical dilemmas, regulatory violations, and patient harm. Newton3, a Tampa-based strategic advisory firm, specializes in helping healthcare leaders navigate this complex landscape, ensuring AI deployments are both impactful and accountable.

    The Risks of Unregulated AI in Healthcare
    AI applications in healthcare, such as natural language processing for clinical transcription or machine learning for disease diagnosis, carry inherent risks:

    • Bias and Inequity: AI models trained on biased datasets can perpetuate disparities in care.

    • Regulatory Non-Compliance: HIPAA, GDPR, and emerging AI-specific regulations require rigorous adherence.

    • Lack of Transparency: “Black box” algorithms undermine trust in AI-driven decisions.

    Without GRC programs, healthcare organizations risk financial penalties, reputational damage, patient safety breaches, and, most critically, potential patient harm.

    The NIST AI Risk Management Framework: A Roadmap for Healthcare
    The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) 1.0 and NIST AI 600-1, provide a structured approach to mitigate these risks for both Narrow and General AI. Key steps include:

    • Governance: Establish clear accountability for AI systems, including oversight committees and ethical guidelines.

    • Risk Assessment: Identify and prioritize risks specific to AI use cases (e.g., diagnostic errors in image analysis).

    • Compliance Integration: Align AI deployments with existing healthcare regulations and future-proof for evolving standards.

    Newton3’s GRC NIST Certification Toolkit helps organizations implement this framework, ensuring AI systems are transparent, explainable (XAI), and auditable.

    Newton3’s Role in Shaping Responsible AI

    Newton3 offers tailored solutions for healthcare leaders, including:

    • AI GRC Training: Equip teams with skills to manage AI risks.

    • Fractional AI Officer Services: Embed GRC expertise into organizational leadership.

    • Platform-Agnostic Advisory: Support unbiased AI strategy, including integrations like Salesforce Agentforce.

    Call to Action
    For healthcare CEOs and CTOs, the time to act is now. Proactive GRC programs are not just a regulatory requirement-they are a competitive advantage. Contact Newton3 to build a governance strategy that aligns innovation with accountability.

    About Newton3
    Newton3 is a Tampa-based strategic advisory firm specializing in AI governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) within the healthcare sector. The company empowers organizations to maximize the value of their AI investments across platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, ServiceNow’s NOW Platform AI, and Salesforce’s Agentforce AI.

  • Aquatic Attorneys Advocate for Justice in San Jose Daycare Drowning Case

    Aquatic Attorneys Advocate for Justice in San Jose Daycare Drowning Case

    San Jose, CA – A heartbreaking tragedy at Happy Happy Daycare in San Jose has led to the arrest of a mother and daughter, accused of negligence in the drowning death of a young child under their care. The incident has sparked widespread concern over the safety of children in unlicensed daycare facilities and the legal responsibilities of caregivers in preventing such preventable tragedies.

    According to reports, authorities responded to the daycare after receiving an emergency call about an unresponsive child found in a water-filled area. Investigators determined that the facility failed to maintain proper supervision and safety measures, leading to the fatal drowning. The mother and daughter who operated the daycare were subsequently arrested and charged with child endangerment, sparking an ongoing legal battle to hold them accountable.

    pool drowning lawyer in california

    Michael Haggard, Esq., a leading drowning litigation attorney and managing partner of The Haggard Law Firm, emphasized the need for stringent safety protocols in childcare environments. “This devastating case highlights the critical need for daycare providers to implement and enforce strict water safety measures. No child should ever be placed in an environment where preventable hazards, such as unsecured water sources, exist,” said Haggard. “Justice must be pursued, and accountability must be enforced to ensure that no other family endures this kind of tragedy.”

    Drowning remains one of the leading causes of accidental death among young children, with incidents occurring at alarming rates in residential and daycare settings. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that children under the age of four are particularly vulnerable to drowning accidents, emphasizing the necessity of constant supervision, secure barriers, and immediate emergency response measures.

    Aquatic Attorneys, a division of The Haggard Law Firm dedicated to representing drowning victims and their families, continues to advocate for increased legal action against negligent daycare providers. “When families entrust caregivers with their children, they expect a safe environment. This case is a tragic reminder of what can happen when those entrusted with childcare fail to uphold that responsibility,” Haggard added.

    The Happy Happy Daycare case has intensified discussions surrounding daycare regulations and licensing requirements in California. Authorities have noted that the daycare facility was operating without the proper licenses, further exacerbating the legal implications of the case. This raises concerns about the enforcement of childcare safety laws and the need for more rigorous oversight of daycare operations to prevent similar incidents in the future.

    Legal experts argue that cases like this should serve as a catalyst for strengthening daycare regulations and ensuring that unlicensed facilities are identified and held accountable before tragedies occur. Michael Haggard and his team at Aquatic Attorneys urge parents to thoroughly investigate daycare providers, verify licensing, and ask about safety protocols before enrolling their children.

    The outcome of this case could have long-term implications for daycare safety standards and legal consequences for negligent childcare providers nationwide. Families who have lost loved ones due to drowning incidents are encouraged to seek legal assistance to hold responsible parties accountable.

    For those affected by daycare drowning tragedies, seeking legal representation can be an essential step toward justice and systemic change. If you or a loved one has been impacted by a drowning accident due to negligence, contact Michael Haggard, Esq. and Aquatic Attorneys at AquaticAttorney.com for a free consultation. Ensuring justice for victims and advocating for stronger childcare safety regulations remains a top priority in the fight to prevent future tragedies.

  • The Haggard Law Firm Pursues Justice for Victims of the Downtown Phoenix Hotel Shooting Incident

    The Haggard Law Firm Pursues Justice for Victims of the Downtown Phoenix Hotel Shooting Incident

    Phoenix, AZ – Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys are actively pursuing justice on behalf of victims and their families following a violent shooting incident outside the Renaissance Hotel in downtown Phoenix. This tragic event, which resulted in multiple injuries and a fatality, highlights the growing concern over inadequate security measures in public spaces, particularly at high-traffic hotels and commercial establishments. As legal proceedings commence, this case underscores the need for stronger enforcement of security obligations to protect guests and prevent future violence.

    According to law enforcement reports, the shooting took place outside the hotel’s entrance, where a group of individuals was gathered. Witnesses stated that an altercation escalated, leading to gunfire that struck multiple victims. Emergency responders arrived at the scene shortly after, but despite their efforts, one individual succumbed to their injuries. The tragic loss has devastated the victim’s family and raised questions about whether the hotel had taken appropriate steps to prevent foreseeable violence on its premises.

    negligent security case in phoenix hotel

    Initial investigations suggest that the Renaissance Hotel may have lacked adequate security measures, including surveillance cameras, trained personnel, and controlled access to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the property. Given the hotel’s location in a bustling downtown area, property management had a duty to anticipate potential security risks and take necessary precautions. The failure to implement appropriate safety measures may have contributed to the conditions that allowed the shooting to occur.

    Michael Haggard, Esq., managing partner of Haggard Crime Victim Attorneys, commented on the case, stating, “Hotels and commercial properties have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of their guests and employees. When these establishments fail to take reasonable security measures, they create an environment where violent crime can occur. This tragedy should never have happened, and we are committed to ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.”

    Negligent security cases involve property owners and business operators who fail to protect individuals from foreseeable harm. Under premises liability law, hotels, shopping centers, and other commercial entities are required to provide reasonable security to protect guests and patrons. This includes hiring trained security personnel, installing surveillance equipment, and maintaining proper lighting in high-risk areas. When these precautions are ignored, property owners can be held liable for any resulting injuries or fatalities.

    This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of proactive security measures. The Renaissance Hotel, as a major downtown venue, attracts thousands of visitors annually. Given its high-profile status, hotel management should have been vigilant in enforcing security policies to deter criminal activity. Legal experts argue that implementing preventative measures, such as increased security patrols and metal detectors, could have mitigated the risk of violent altercations.

    The Haggard Law Firm has a long history of representing victims in negligent security cases, fighting for the rights of individuals harmed due to corporate negligence. Their legal team is dedicated to holding businesses accountable when they fail to provide a safe environment. This case not only seeks justice for the victims and their families but also aims to push for necessary security reforms in commercial properties to prevent future tragedies.

    Beyond financial compensation, lawsuits of this nature have a broader societal impact. Legal action forces businesses to reevaluate their security policies, ensuring they take appropriate steps to protect patrons. Holding negligent property owners accountable establishes important precedents that can lead to stronger industry regulations and safer communities.

    For those and their loved ones who have been injured due to inadequate security at a hotel, shopping center, or other commercial property, The Haggard Law Firm offers experienced legal representation to seek justice and compensation. Contact Michael Haggard, Esq., at crimevictim.attorney for a free consultation. Taking legal action is a crucial step in ensuring that negligent property owners are held accountable and that necessary safety standards are implemented to protect future visitors. No family should have to endure such a preventable tragedy, and The Haggard Law Firm remains committed to fighting for justice on behalf of victims.

    “Our goal with this seminar is to ensure that every survivor has access to the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their legal rights,” said DiLiberto. “Many survivors believe they are out of options due to outdated laws or institutional cover-ups, but we are here to change that perception. Justice is possible, and we want to help survivors take that first step.”

    The seminar will feature a panel of legal professionals, survivor advocates, and licensed mental health providers, each sharing insights from their respective fields. Discussions will include explanations of how the statute of limitations currently affects survivors’ ability to file claims and what the proposed legal changes in Pennsylvania might mean for future cases. Attendees will also gain a clearer understanding of the difference between filing a criminal case and initiating a civil lawsuit, including what each process entails and what outcomes are possible through compensation and accountability.

    The event will further explore how survivors can legally hold institutions accountable, such as schools, religious organizations, athletic programs, and medical facilities, when those institutions enabled or ignored abuse. Survivors will also be introduced to a network of resources, including trauma-informed legal representation, therapy options, and community-based advocacy organizations that specialize in assisting victims of sexual abuse.

    Following the panel discussions, a Q&A session will provide attendees the opportunity to submit confidential, anonymous questions tailored to their own experiences or legal concerns. This segment of the seminar is designed to foster empowerment, privacy, and clarity for participants who may be unsure about how or when to proceed.

    As momentum builds for legislative reform, the proposed two-year look-back window and the elimination of the civil statute of limitations could open new legal avenues for survivors across the state. “If these laws are enacted, we anticipate a significant increase in survivors coming forward,” DiLiberto explained. “Many people don’t realize that they still have options, even if their abuse happened decades ago. Our seminar will help survivors understand how these laws work and how they can take advantage of these potential changes.”

    Survivors of Abuse PA has long been a leader in legal advocacy for sexual abuse victims, successfully litigating high-profile cases and advocating for survivor-centered legislation. The firm has earned a reputation for standing up to powerful institutions and fighting for those whose voices have been ignored or silenced.

    “Our team is committed to fighting for survivors, not just in the courtroom, but through education and outreach,” said DiLiberto. “This seminar is just one part of our larger mission to empower survivors and make sure they have the support they need.”

    The seminar will be conducted online, with registration details and scheduling updates to be posted on the firm’s website. Survivors, community leaders, parents, educators, and support professionals are encouraged to attend.
