Auto insurance policies give the policy holder the decision between confined tort or full tort coverage. Limited tort indicates that you could sue for limited recovery after an accident. Recovery is restricted in as possible however sue for medical costs, but you cannot retrieve for pain and suffering. To the contrary, if complete tort protection is picked, healing for pain and suffering is possible, and frequently leads to a more substantial economic recovery.
Many persons choose restricted tort insurance to help keep premiums low. Nevertheless, confined tort protection can cost you a lot more in the future by dramatically limiting the amount you are able to recover. Choosing full tort insurance now might help you receive the cash you need if you're later involved with a crash.
By legislation, auto insurance providers should present physical harm responsibility insurance of at the least $15,000 per individual and $30,000 per incidence, $5,000 to cover medical costs, and $5,000 to protect property damage. Vendors are not necessary to quickly give other forms of coverage, such as for example money reduction coverage for function overlooked, or uninsured/underinsured motorist protection (described below). These latter provisions are optional, and must be opted for by the plan holder.
As with confined tort coverage, many policy holders select the minimal coverage restricts to save lots of on advanced payments. However, given the growing price of medical therapy and other costs (such as charge of living), the above minimums are utilized significantly sooner than expected. Also, it is impossible to estimate the effects of an accident, such as for instance how much function will be missed, and simply how much house damage may occur. Typically where the minimal quantities are chosen, that leaves the plan dish caught with the bill. Picking insurance restricts which surpass the minimum required quantities, as well as selecting recommended forms of insurance now, might help you obtain the money you need if you are later associated with a crash.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist protection (UM/UIM coverage) can allow you to retrieve in a collision if one other driver isn't protected, or has hardly any insurance. If a collision does occur, UM/UIM coverage applies for your requirements, in addition to family members surviving in the exact same household. It does not subject if you are the driver, a passenger, or otherwise associated with a crash, and UM/UIM coverage might help purchase charges involving accidents whether one other driver is uninsured or underinsured.
When you yourself have just the above mentioned minimal needed limits and do not choose to own UM/UIM coverage on your plan and are associated with a car crash, you would have to sue another driver who's at-fault to recover such a thing above your plan limits.
In many cases where the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, that driver does not have ample assets, or any assets, to permit you to recover money. In the long run, you might be caught with the bill. Choosing UM/UIM insurance now will help you receive the cash you will need if you are later associated with a crash.
You are able to modify your auto insurance policy at any time. Contact your insurance agent now – before it's also late. When you yourself have been or are associated with a car crash, contact an individual injury attorney when you can.

The Big Data Leaders in Modern Agriculture
By Rebecca Lam
Increased labour shortages in the agriculture sector has meant that digitization is increasing its importance. The exponential amounts of data that is generated from devices such as sensors and drones can be leveraged to provide benefits to farmers worldwide, and lessen the physical manpower in the industry.
Below are some of the leaders that are embracing the future of big data, and providing innovative solutions within this area of agriculture technology.

Rules for the King in a Checkers Game
By: Lynda Moultry Belcher Updated April 12, 2017
checkers image by Paul Moore from Fotolia.com
Checkers is a popular game for all ages, everyone from young children to older individuals. However, to successfully master this game, you must learn the different rules associated with each individual piece in the game. From learning how single pieces can move to understanding how it works once you "king" a piece, mastering the rules -- particularly when it comes to rules for the king pieces -- will help you become a fine checkers player.
King Becomes Two Pieces
For most of the game of checkers, you are moving pieces around the board one at a time. Each individual piece can only move in a certain direction and even "jumping" another player simply means taking the piece off of the board. However, once you "king" a piece, your opponent must then take back one of the pieces you lost during the first part of the game and put it on top of the piece that is now a "king." The dual appearance of the checkers signifies the piece is now a "king."
Movement Ability
The king can move around the board in such a way that other pieces cannot. Single checker pieces can only move one space at a time, unless they are jumping another piece. However, the king can move forwards AND backwards, which is part of the significance of getting one of your checker pieces "kinged" during the game. However, despite the king's ability to move freely, it still cannot move side to side, as this movement does not exist in the game of checkers.
Jumping Pieces
The king can jump from one end of a line, diagonally, to the other, and can even do so as long as just one piece is in its path. The king can "jump" this piece and continue to the end of the line. This is a marked departure from the way in which other pieces can move; the king is the only piece that can move across so many blocks at one time. However, If there is more than one piece in its path, the king cannot move across the length of the diagonal line.

For the past eight months, undocumented Russian immigrant Irida Kakhtiranova has been living in sanctuary at the Unitarian Society of Northampton and Florence church in Northampton. Many in the Valley have helped Kakhtiranova, the mother of three children, retain a sense of normalcy to her life despite the daily realities of living in refuge from deportation and separation from her family.
But there are still bills for Kakhtiranova to pay and other responsibilities in her life. That's why the Valley artistic collective Rise Up Productions is hosting a cabaret-style benefit for Kakhtiranova and her family at the church this Saturday, starting at 7:30 p.m., in partnership with the Unitarian Society and the Pioneer Valley Workers Center.
Kakhtiranova, who spoke with the Gazette within her living space in the basement of the church, said she and her family have been overwhelmed by the support of the local community.
Boatwright said she thinks that though Valley residents tend to be favorable towards social causes, the community can do more.
"There's an activist mindset, and there's a panicked-liberal mindset, and frequently there's a give-money mindset, but there's not always a 'let's go do a thing' mindset," she said. "I think that all of us gathering outside Town Hall with a Black Lives Matter sign is awesome [but] it's not enough.
Rise Up Productions was founded after the 2016 presidential election as a way for local musical theater performers to support immigrants in the Pioneer Valley through past events such as a "Hamilton" sing-along, Boatwright said.
During the event, Kakhtiranova will be selling homemade perogies at the church, which helps her support her 11-year-old son, four-year-old twin daughters, and her husband, who has a long-term autoimmune illness, as well as pay for the family's rent, legal fees, and daily living expenses.
During the past seven months, the church has hosted a spaghetti dinner with food cooked by Kakhtiranova, a reiki fundraiser. Following the "Rise Up for Irida" show, she plans to sell homemade desserts during the holiday season.
"I just try to bury myself in work, so I don't see what's really going on," she said of her life in sanctuary.
Kakhtiranova said she and her family are "damn lucky" to have found a congregation and a community that supports them as though they were family.
"Even my children now feel like they are part of the family," she said.
Nancy Sardeson, a member of the sanctuary team at the church, said the church's congregation has been transformed with the rallied support for Kakhtiranova and her family.

'God Save the King!' – Charles Arrives at Buckingham Palace, Greets Crowds
Breitbart September 9, 2022
King Charles III has arrived at Buckingham Palace, London, personally greeting dozens of well-wishers who welcomed him with shouts of "God save the King!"
Follow Jack Montgomery on Twitter: @JackBMontgomeryFollow Breitbart London on Facebook: Breitbart London
The 73-year-old monarch, known to generations of Britons as the Prince of Wales for so long, greeted the crowds warmly, shaking hands and at one point even accepting a kiss on the cheek from mourners who had come to pay their respects to the new sovereign and his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Kiss for a King.
King Charles greeted mourners for more than 10 minutes outside Buckingham Palace.
One woman appeared to ask him if it was ok to kiss him.
When His Majesty said yes, she planted one on his cheek.

The King was joined by the Queen Consort, Camilla, formerly the Duchess of Cornwall, in meeting the crowds, with the royal pair taking over ten minutes to try and personally interact with as many members of the public as possible before making a brief tour of the many floral tributes left for his predecessor.
Many clutched smartphones in their hands, though the King's bodyguard chided them to put the devices down and "enjoy the moment".
LONDON, ENGLAND – SEPTEMBER 09: King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort view floral tributes to the late Queen Elizabeth II outside Buckingham Palace on September 09, 2022 in London, United Kingdom. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born in Bruton Street, Mayfair, London on 21 April 1926. She married Prince Philip in 1947 and acceded the throne of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth on 6 February 1952 after the death of her father, King George VI. Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 8, 2022, and is succeeded by her eldest son, King Charles III. (Photo by Samir Hussein/WireImage)
In the coming hours, King Charles is expected to hold an audience with Prime Minister Liz Truss, who became the fifteenth person invited to form a government by the late Queen, who worked right to the end, just days ago.
He will also record an address to the nation and the wider Commonwealth, which, as of the time of publication, is expected to be broadcast around 6 p.m.

TALK OF THE TOWN: Victoria star Jenna Coleman, 35, is ready to quit London and is house hunting on East Sussex with a £2m budget
By Charlotte Griffiths for The Mail on Sunday
Published: 19:13 EST, 11 December 2021 | Updated: 19:15 EST, 11 December 2021
Actress Jenna Coleman, above, is on the lookout for a country pile fit for a Queen. I hear the Victoria star, 35, is ready to quit London and is house-hunting in East Sussex with a budget of £2 million. Could it be a sign that she really has reconciled with former flame Tom Hughes, who played Prince Albert opposite her Queen Victoria in the ITV drama?
A local estate agent tells me: 'Lots of actors, comedians and City workers are house-hunting in East Sussex. Jenna has seen quite a few properties so far, but hasn't found the right one.'
Lancastrian Jenna and Tom, 35, split last year. But in October she was spotted leaving Tom's North London house, with locals saying her car had been parked outside for weeks and even had a local permit.
The actress, who also played the companion to Matt Smith's Doctor Who, has sold her two-bedroom house in North London, for £1 million. My snap, top left, of Jenna wheeling a huge suitcase last week suggests she might be getting desperate for that new pad.

Queen of Chelsea Georgia Toffolo is gazumped
She may be the Queen of Chelsea but Georgia Toffolo might have to slum it… by moving to Notting Hill.
The former Made In Chelsea star has been reduced to staying in a hotel since breaking up with her fiance George Cottrell in June, and she keeps being gazumped on properties by oligarchs, despite having a whopping £250,000-a-year rental budget.
'As soon as I put an offer in, they just swoop in with a better one,' lamented Toff, 27, at the Boisdale Cigar Smoker of the Year Awards.
'I've been trying to rent a flat for six months now. It's so annoying – I might end up living in Notting Hill.'
Talk about a first-world problem!

Violão de doze cordas é um tipo de violão ou guitarra com 12 cordas em seis cursos, com uma maior variedade de som do que um violão tradicional de seis cordas. Essencialmente, é um tipo de guitarra com um natural efeito de chorus devido às diferenças sutis nas frequências produzidas por cada uma das duas cordas em cada curso sendo tradicionalmente afinada em EE-AA-DD-GG-BB-EE sendo que B-E são uníssonas e E-A-D-G são uma oitava acima da afinação normal.

Ela se tornou célebre por ser tocada por músicos como Jimi Hendrix em "", Jimmy Page do Led Zeppelin, Richie Sambora do Bon Jovi, Carl Wilson do The Beach Boys, e George Harrison e John Lennon do The Beatles, Emmerson Nogueira e Lulu Santos

the most effective critical thinker
Posted in Questions By James Hobert On November 3, 2018
The character in this movie that was the most effective critical thinker was juror 8(Henry Fonda). The types of characteristics that Fonda, exemplify is provisionalism, creativity, and critical thinking. By doing this he is uncover new ways of interpreting evidence, turns to certainty and shortsightedness when arriving at conclusions. For example, Fonda commented on how the boy had been slapped around all his life and was treated poorly. This kind of thinking leads to more external attributions—it was the way the boy was treated in life, not something inherent about the boy or his character.
Next Fonda asks the jurors to consider the larger picture: the defendant's background, the witnesses' credibility, and the defending attorney's motives. He then shakes up the room by presenting a knife identical to the murder weapon–a weapon that the jurors were certain was unique. At this point, he has them wavering about reasonable doubt. Fonda was clearly self-confident. He had complete conviction in what he was doing and saying which instilled confidence in other members of the jury who were leaning in that direction a guilty verdict.
The character that is the least effective critical thinker is juror 3 (Lee J. Cobb). Cobb made more internal attributions for the boy's behavior. He agreed with the slum kid idea, but also focused on the notion that kids today don't have any respect or sense of morality. He is basing this decision on his own life situation because of his poor relationship with his son. Cobb categorizes the defendant as a rebellious kid and wants to persecute him. Another example is when Henry Fonda insulted Lee Cobb by calling him a sadist and that due to his own beliefs.
Cobb got mad and said: "I'm gonna kill ya. " Thus, when Cobb said it, it was just the situation that provoked this expression, but when the boy said it, it was an indication of his murderous rage. So this is an example of Cobb is view as bias. The other jurors are shocked that he seems to have forgotten the sure and certain facts of the case that prove the defendant's guilt. Now these are facts, you can't refute facts as stated by Cobb. The barriers that prevented three other jurors were racist, baseball fan, advertisement. Ed Begley was racist this become a barrier when thinking ritically because he is so ingrained in the way of his life. He is not simply accepting information at face value in a non-critical or non-evaluating way. He feel that because the boy as a slum kid this is stereotypes which lead to a biased way of interpreting the evidence. He relayed the idea that there's something about slum kids who belong to certain ethnic groups that makes them inherently rotten. These are internal attributions which lead to more of a guilty verdict. Jack Ward barrier was that he wants to conform with the majority in order to quickly end the deliberations so he can attend a ballgame.
He was selfish and inconsiderate that another person life was at stack. He also stated the he had enough of all the talking and wasn't going to say nothing. But when was asked why he could not response why. Webber was continually strays off course with advertising stories and slogans. His job was getting in the way of his decision. Not staying focus on what is going on can lead to the wrong decision. Towards the middle of the movie Sweeny, Marshall, and Voskovec all become critical thinkers. Sweeny initially conformed in the public vote, but switched when it was private—suggesting that he went along with the crowd.
But then later he remembers information that the eye witness stated. Sweeny did not accuse either of the eye witnesses of lying but question the information. He said that these people believed they saw the boy commit the crime. In other words, they somehow misremembered what they saw and heard. Thus, they probably witnessed an ambiguous event and filled in the missing information with details that were prescribed by their own stereotypes of slum kids. In addition, the police officers and lawyers who interviewed the witnesses may have planted false memories in them by asking leading questions.
In either case, these people probably believed that they saw the boy at the scene of the crime—but this was probably due to the misinformation effect. With Marshall at first he refuses to budge until he is presented with sound reasons for changing his mind. He went by the boys alibi was that he was at the movies when the murder took place. Marshall said that because the boy couldn't remember the names of the films and who played in them when he was interviewed by the police then he obviously was lying but he remembers that the boy was under conditions of high emotional stress.
Thus Marshall failed to consider how the stress of the situation could have affected the boy—and just made an internal attribution that he is a liar. However, when Marshall was asked to remember the films he saw last weekend, he couldn't fully remember them—even without emotional stress. Marshall also eventually changed his vote based on informational influence. He was convinced that the female eye witness had poor eyesight and therefore couldn't make a positive identification. This was less of a superficial change.
Voskovec became a critical thinker because throughout the trail he took down information that he felt was important. Then when it was time to deliberate him then took down more information that each juror had to say. By this his was gathering important information to base his decision on whether the boy is guilty or not. The four types of logical fallacies that are present in the jurors thinking process are flaws in thinking, illogical sequences of thought, stereotyping, obfuscation, and other typical critical thinking errors displayed in the movie as the characters move through the stages of critical thinking development.
Fonda and Cobb revealed an emotional argument: The whole debate in which one character called the other a "sadist". A scuffle occurred afterward. Ed Begley revealed unqualified generalization: he was a racist who hated slum-kid such as the defendant. He went on a rant in which he claimed "not a one of them are any good". Sweeny showed false analogy: When he mentions how the one of the witnesses in the trial just made a up a story to get attention. The character said that he knew because he would have done the same thing, were he as lonely as the witness.

I grew up in Catlett. My house was on the right when you crossed the railroad tracks. The house was haunted. Lights would cut on and off. Footsteps could be heard all the time throughout the house. Electronic toys would cut on for no reason. If you walked into a room, you heard the footstep. It would be cold as ice. If you live in this house now, don't worry. She is harmless.
I lived in a house off of libera Avenue with my mother and brother. The lights would randomly turn on and off as well as our water. Also in our bathroom the shower curtain would always be open after we all took a shower although we were serious about closing it as our mom would get mad at us if we left it open.
My brother was home alone with a friend and left because the shower curtain did the same thing again. When he went outside our entire yard was filled with white butterflies. Very creepy! We did some research and found out our home was built directly on top of an Indian burial ground.

The Storm is Coming… My Interview with Joshua Pantalleresco!
Joshua Pantalleresco is the author of the epic poem The Watcher. He lives in Calgary, Alberta and is eagerly anticipating the release of his sequel, Stormdancer which is set to release October 1st, 2015.
Josh wanted to interview me for his blog, so I thought we could hit two birds with one stone. Here's my conversation with the author of The Watcher:
MW: So, it looks like the information about your sequel was leaked… why don't you tell us a bit about that?
JP: Stormdancer is the title of this one. This book will be longer and have more pictures in it. It also focuses more on the other characters and not just the Watcher. These kids have lost everything, so I wanted to see how that would affect them and what would happen because of that. I'm currently working with Florence Chan to decide on the cover and the images that will be in the book.
MW: What is your inspiration for The Watcher and the upcoming sequal?
JP: "What happens next?" I am always driven by that question. When I sit down to write I don't have a plan, the story is a journey. I have an idea of where things are going to go and I know where to finish the story, but I like to see where it goes.
MW: You told me a little while back about a film project you were doing, how's that going?
JP: Everything is filmed. We went out and filmed it when it was -28'C outside. It looks a little like a B movie, but I like it and it was a fun process. Unfortunately my video editing software went kaput, so that caused a bit of a setback, but I hope to have that fixed soon and then I will be releasing the music video/trailer for The Watcher on my blog and here as well.
MW: Speaking of -28'C weather, what's it like to be an author in Calgary?
JP: Well, I've moved around alot and seen a lot of cities. I lived in Phoenix. In Phoenix it was a lot easier. They had platforms for authors to sell their books at. You just had to have a book and there would be places for you to sell it. Canada doesn't have that. It's a lot harder to sell books here. One thing I learned from living in Phoenix was how to sell books; how to talk to people. I took that with me to Canada. Calgary has a lot more opportunities for authors than Windsor does. I've made some good contacts here. I have a soft spot for Windsor, though. My family is there. Windsor is a place where people are willing to try different things. The economy crashed there earlier and the people of Windsor learned how to deal with that a lot earlier too. They know how to fight for what they get. I feel like Calgary is just on the verge of having to deal with that stuff now. The mentality is different here.
MW: What drives you to write poetry in particular?
JP: I used to hate it, actually. I feel The Watcher is different though because it's a longer style epic poem. Which is easier than writing say, a Haiku. Epic poem seems a simplified version of writing a novel, for me. I know my weaknesses, and that might be writing a longer novel. Poetry has a certain honesty to it. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there is a certain integrity to the style – an honesty and a voice. I admit I get a little scared when I first start working on them because I don't have a master plan, I just let it happen.
MW: So do you think you would ever try writing a novel?
JP: What makes you think I haven't been trying? I've got three of them on the go, actually. One of them is about a super-hero/villain that can't be affected by technology, another I'm still researching ideas. I've learned that description is important. To create an impression in the reader's mind is the goal.
I'm not a small idea guy. I like big ideas. So I like the idea of trying my hand at a novel
MW: Besides Poetry, what other sorts of things do you write?
JP: Comic books is where I'm selling. I've started a wrestling column about two weeks ago. I'm collaborating with some talented people on comic books and other projects. I'm really busy, especially between all of this and the day job, but this is what I do.
Stormdancer is expected to launch October 1st, 2015. Until then, follow this blog for more info or sign up for our newsletter at www.mirrorworldpublishing.com

Any IR35 risk to accepting extra work from the client?
Contractors' Questions: Any IR35 risk to client extending my services' scope?
Contractor's Question: To help avoid IR35, this ContractorUK article says not to accept work that merely crops up, but my client wants to widen the scope of services I supply. Those services require the skills the client engaged me for a long time ago and still lacks internally.
A new rate for this extra work (a 'trial' rate first as I'm unsure how long the work will take) will be set, as will new wording in a supplement to my contract. Would these factors help position me away from IR35; I will still be in control of when, where and how I do the work.
Expert's Answer: The ContractorUK article you have linked to highlights the increased IR35 risk of a contractor who is regularly provided with work on an ongoing basis rather than on a project-by-project basis. However, there is a distinction between a contractor who is asked to provide an additional service outside of the original assignment (and which is separately costed or scoped), and someone who is taken on for a period of time and simply given a series of jobs to undertake during that time. The latter contractor is likely to have an increased IR35 risk.
The distinction should also be made between someone who is asked by the client to undertake an additional or altered piece of work, but who could refuse to undertake that work, and a worker who can be moved from task to task at the behest of the client. Again, the worker who can be moved from task to task by the client will have an increased risk of IR35.
As far as your circumstances are concerned, you are right to document the additional work required and preferably should ensure that there is a separate assignment schedule for the extra work which, if possible, should be separately costed. The fact that you are responsible for how the work is carried out and are not working under the obvious control or supervision of the client will still be significant factors in determining IR35.
Lastly, you mention that you have been working for the same client for a long time (although we don't know how long) and, while HMRC and the courts may take this into account when considering IR35, duration is not a determining factor by itself.
The expert was former Revenue inspector John Hill, founder of John Hill & Associates, a specialist in IR35 and Employment Tax Services.

In Part 1 of my blog I explored a little of my background and why I got involved in social impact analytics, as well as explaining the two key things that I, and the social impact consultancy that I founded, Intentionality CIC, think really matter. In short, we believe social impact analysis should 'Measure What Matters' and what matters is 'The Mission'. We also think that 'Wellbeing Really Matters' and that having a good understanding of what makes the biggest difference in the lives of individuals, families and communities is essential to both analysing impact and planning for impact. In this second part I want to explore three further things that we think really matter.
Stakeholders Really Matter. We love it that SROI and other tools and methodologies put stakeholders – beneficiaries, customers, service users – at the heart of social impact analysis and agree that it is both the right thing and a valuable thing to do.
Jeremy Nicholls of the SROI Network and of SIAA says, 'The point of impact measurement is to provide stakeholders with the information they need in order to hold organisations and their financial investors to account'. We agree.
We've also seen time and time again that there is rich learning to be found from talking and listening to stakeholders. And that's the language we prefer – talking and listening – not surveying, consulting, engaging or interviewing (although these are perfectly acceptable tools in the analysis toolkit). Listen to your stakeholders, they matter.
Finally, Improvement Really Matters. A final tip from Lynch and Walls, Jr., 'measure impact to improve it'. We think social impact analytics ought to be about improvement, learning, growing, doing better and doing more with the resources available. Within Intentionality, and also with our clients, we seek to learn lessons, set targets not for targets' sake but to provide a benchmark for review, discussion and reflection, to share successes (including with 'competitors', networks and the sector) and to accept feedback. Even if it's critical, use it to get better next time.
So remember the 5 tips to social impact: measure what matters – 'The Mission,' wellbeing really matters, stakeholders really matter, rituals really matter and improvement really matters. Great social impact analytics should make these things part of day-to-day culture and practice.
Thanks for reading and do get in touch with any comments, top tips or stories. We'd love to hear them.

The Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman did something very novel at the San Jose showdown and it helped the Metro Division win it all. But Jones' main mission has always been to take Columbus to the next level.
SAN JOSE – A funny thing happened at the 2019 All-Star Game showdown – a guy actually played some defense. That player was Columbus Blue Jackets blueliner Seth Jones and the fact he was willing to hound puck-carriers and hustle back on odd-man rushes was almost amusing for the NHL's showcase event, where the usual energy for defense among the participants is, shall we say, lacking. But thanks in part to Jones, who also had some very nice offensive contributions, Team Metropolitan ended up winning the tournament.
Jones also acknowledged how fun it was to have so much space out there with the 3-on-3 format and for a player gifted with his array of talents, being able to show off his offensive creativity was satisfying, too. But with the weekend now over, the task returns to matters in Columbus, where the Blue Jackets are in the thick of a wild race that has seen first (and last) place in the Metro changes hands many times already.
Of course, there are a couple narratives that won't go away just yet in Ohio, the first of which is the fact Columbus has never won a playoff series in franchise history. So what's the level of urgency right now?
On top of that, it's simply impossible not to consider what will happen in the near future with the team's roster, since star winger Artemi Panarin and Vezina-winning goalie Sergei Bobrovsky are both heading to unrestricted free agency this summer – and chances of contract extensions in Columbus are looking bleak. For their teammates, there is nothing to do but soldier on.
And while the road will be tough, the fact is Columbus has an incredibly good defenseman in Jones. Though he may not win the Norris Trophy this season, he could easily grab the honors next year, or the year after that: the gifted two-way blueliner is just entering his prime.
Atkinson sees a guy who brings it for every practice and that makes the players around him better. And hey, if Jones is making an effort at an All-Star Game, just imagine what his compete level will be like come playoff time this spring.

Home of the 10-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Champion...
DRIVER: DONNY SCHATZ
He has nearly 300 World of Outlaws Sprint Car victories to his name. He's a 10-time Knoxville Nationals Champion and a 10-time World Of Outlaws Sprint Car Series Champion. He will go down as one of the very best to ever strap into a Sprint Car. Meet Donny Schatz...
TEAM: TONY STEWART RACING
Tony Stewart Racing (TSR) is the title-winning World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series team owned by three-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Tony Stewart. TSR has captured 23 short-track racing titles (14 in USAC and nine WoO) since its inception in 2001.

SCHATZ LOOKS TO CLOSE CALIFORNIA TOUR WITH WIN
INDIANAPOLIS (April 16, 2015) – Reaching the pinnacle of any profession is a journey of extreme twists and turns. Many that have attained any kind of lofty status will admit staying there is just as hard, but the challenges are different. Last November, both Kevin Harvick in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and Donny Schatz in the World of Outlaws (WoO) Sprint Car Series were crowned champions and, early in 2015, their results show they are poised to remain on top.
For six of his 19 seasons as a WoO regular, Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing's Schatz has begun the season with the target on his back as the reigning WoO champion and driver to beat. The 2015 WoO season is the first in which Schatz, driver of the TSR No. 15 Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance J&J, carries the title of the winningest active full-time WoO driver following his TSR teammate and 20-time WoO champion Steve Kinser's reduced racing schedule. And so far, he's carrying on the winning tradition at a faster rate than any of his previous seasons as a member of the "The Greatest Show on Dirt."
This week, Schatz and his Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance team conclude an 11-race California tour that has already been an incredible success. They will look to continue their winning ways with races Friday at Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford and Saturday at Perris Auto Speedway.
Coming out of the gate fast has not been something Schatz has experienced during his Outlaw career, but this season, just like Harvick, who has two wins, four seconds and an eighth-place run in the first seven races, the North Dakota driver is in the midst of the best start of his career. With four victories in the first nine starts in the Golden State, Schatz has reached the five-win mark in just 15 races. His victory Sunday at Calistoga Speedway gave him five wins on April 12. In 2009, he earned his fifth win on May 9 at Tony Stewart's Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. The previous two seasons, which both have ended with Schatz establishing a career high in wins, took until May 27 in 2013 and May 31 in 2014.
Both Schatz and Harvick drive for three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart and are associated with Bad Boy Buggies, a leader in off-road utility vehicles for hunting and outdoor lifestyles. While Schatz looks to score his sixth win of the 2015 season and 108th driving for TSR just 85 miles north of Harvick's hometown of Bakersfield, Harvick will look to win his third of 2015 and first as a Stewart-Haas Racing driver on the high-banks of Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, a track where Schatz won a WoO race back in 2001.
Schatz has made 14 previous starts at Keller Auto Speedway, a 3/8-mile dirt oval. He won the 35-lap A-Feature at the track in April 2013 and, last year, he charged from 18thto finish fifth. He has made 15 starts at Perris Auto Speedway, the half-mile semi-banked dirt oval located in Southern California. Perris is one of the few tracks where Schatz has more than 10 starts without a victory. His best finish of third came in 2013. Last April, he raced from 12th to sixth.
With his strong start, Schatz has a 30-point advantage in the WoO championship standings with 15 of the 88 scheduled nights of racing in the books. His nine top-fives, 13 top-10s and 100 laps led all lead the series.
Donny Schatz, Driver of the No. 15 TSR Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance J&J:
With two wins in three starts last week, you are now up to four wins on the Outlaws California Tour. Are you surprised with the success you are having in California?
"Nothing the guys on this Bad Boy Buggies/Chevrolet Performance race team does surprises. Rick Warner, Steve Swenson and Eric Prutzman are the best in the business. They work to find ways to for us to get better. California hasn't been a strong suit for us early in season's past and, when you aren't good at something, you have to put in the time and effort to get better. We spent time fine-tuning things to the point where we felt like we were gaining on it. We made big strides and won in Stockton. We had a really good night in Chico and won the Mini Gold Cup. Going to Placerville for the first time and driving up through to win, and being really good at Calistoga – the only big track we've raced on out here — that was a result of everyone on this team pushing to get better. No one is satisfied. There is still so much work to be done. It's rewarding for everyone associated with this team, from Tony to our marketing partners, to be able to have such a good start and put five wins on the board so far. "
What are your thoughts of the last two tracks on the 11-race California Tour — Keller Auto Speedway and Perris Auto Speedway?
"I enjoy racing at both of them. We've been going to both since early in my career. We finally won at Hanford a couple years back and we're still trying to get one at Perris. Hanford is a track that can be tricky because it slows down and gets slicker. I like those kind of tracks. I've always wanted to put a complete night together and win at Perris. Our engine builder Ron Shaver and his guys are from Los Angeles and that's the closest we race to his shop. We've been decent there, but not quite good enough, yet. I know with the people we've got surrounding this team we're going to have a great shot to get the job done Saturday night."

iNaturalist Still Inaccessible to Screen Reader Users
daniel5 December 19, 2022, 2:46am #1
I am a blind screen reader user and I started using iNaturalist several years ago. However, the site as a whole has become less accessible over time even as iNat has made it easier to upload audio observations. I drifted away as a consequence of this.
Then, just before the pandemic, I was required to use iNat for a university class. Through my professor, I contacted the iNat team about the accessibility of both the site and the iPhone app. They readily admitted that accessibility was not remotely up to par and said that a time-consuming rebuild or retrofit of the site would be required, as the site was not initially designed with screen readers in mind.
It is now nearly three years later, the New York Times has featured iNaturalist, and things are no better; they may actually be worse. Over the last few days, I have tested several basic features of the site on several platforms as well as the iPhone app (thanks to @marissa190 for your help!). What follows is a partial list of issues we found:
Can't suggest IDs on any platform (Windows/Mac/iPhone;
Can type, but can't arrow through results of dropdowns on mac (e.g. suggest ID, add taxon to observation on upload). On Windows, choices are announced but cannot be selected, and you get stuck in a loop;
Location box on upload not editable with a screen reader;
Old observation form (deprecated) somewhat works with a screen reader, but non-intuitive and problems noted above still exist;
Choosing category for a new forum topic not great;
Windows - won't select file on upload;
iPhone app totally inaccessible (EDIT: this is inaccurate; see post #8 for specific accessibility problems);
Audio player does not work on Mac or iPhone (Chrome on Mac being the exception).
Again, the list above is in no way exhaustive, and the iNat team said it might take a while to fix all the issues. Seeing as it has been nearly three years and they have expanded their team, I would like to know what the deadlines are for resolving this. Making science accessible means actually having an accessible website and app.
Has anyone else had success using iNat with a screen reader? If so, I'd love to know your suggestions for getting around these problems.
marissa190 December 19, 2022, 2:59am #2
I'm a fan of iNaturalist. I've been able to give leading IDs to a lot of photo observations posted in my area without an ID. But I'm terrible with sound IDs and started bugging my birder friend Dan to help me out. It was so disappointing to learn how Dan couldn't access the site. He and so many other blind birders (and other naturalists) could be such as resource to iNat if it were more accessible.
mycomagus December 19, 2022, 3:02am #3
Would be great to see the suggested changes implemented to make the site more accessible for screen readers, as well as soliciting suggestions from other disabled folks.
kitty12 December 19, 2022, 4:21am #4
This should be a big priority for iNaturalist. Different ways of "observing" nature should absolutely be supported.
ethmostigmus December 19, 2022, 9:49am #5
Really appreciate you sharing your experience and taking the time to do all that testing. I've previously wondered if iNat could be used with a screen reader and it's very disappointing to hear that the site isn't up to snuff in terms of accessibility. I've often heard that one of the core principles that makes iNat great is the low barrier to entry - theoretically, anyone can create an account and start posting regardless of how much they know about nature. But that rings a little hollow knowing that a significant number of people are being excluded by the very layout of the site. I really hope staff can make this a priority and resolve the issues you've raised.
charlie December 19, 2022, 1:50pm #6
this is sad to hear!
alex December 19, 2022, 3:53pm #7
Nice to hear from you again, I hope you've been well.
I can only speak for the parts of iNat that I work on, so apologies in advance for not addressing all of your issues.
Our iOS app should support Apple's VoiceOver, is it not working for you? I just double checked and it's working for me, and voiceover announces the custom accessibility labels I've made to describe custom buttons and such.
Regarding sound playback, the iOS app should play sounds for observations that have them. I just checked this as well and it's working for me.
Are these features not working for you? Or is there another set of accessibility features that we're not supporting on iOS that you would like us to? Our iOS app has been in low development / maintenance mode while the team works on a replacement, but I'm still happy to make accessibility improvements if you can help me understand what I can do to help.
daniel5 December 19, 2022, 4:31pm #8
Thanks for your response. I should say first that I should have tested the app a bit more thoroughly before making a blanket statement - I had focused more on the website. In any case, my experience with the iNat app is that many of the buttons are unlabeled. So they'll just say "button" with no description of what the button actually does. From a cursory glance, there are unlabeled buttons in / next to each observation in the app, plus at least 3 in the search box. I don't know where the sound player is, although the sound recorder seems to work & I was able to upload a recording just now.
I don't mean to put you in the position of divulging anything you shouldn't, but are you saying iNat is working on a new iOS app? If so, is accessibility testing a priority?
Again, my apologies for being hasty as regards the exact accessibility problems of the app.
sunguramy December 19, 2022, 5:05pm #9
Maybe iNat if they are reworking aps right now (didn't some new developers just get hired?) maybe could hire part-time, or contract Daniel to provide access review?
teellbee December 19, 2022, 6:57pm #10
I recall iNat has planned a multi-platform app to replace the current iOS and Android apps. Hopefully, they will provide full accessibility features.
alex December 19, 2022, 7:41pm #11
daniel5:
my experience with the iNat app is that many of the buttons are unlabeled. So they'll just say "button" with no description of what the button actually does. From a cursory glance, there are unlabeled buttons in / next to each observation in the app, plus at least 3 in the search box.
Thanks for this! iOS normally takes care of providing a default label for buttons, using the text of the button label, but in this case either it's not showing up or more likely, I'm using an image or an icon and not providing alternative text. Another possibility is that we've got a tap gesture installed on a ui element that isn't normally a button, so that element is intended to work like a button but iOS doesn't realize that and so doesn't install the accessibility labels for us.
We have a release coming up to fix a few bugs, and I'll delay that release by a day or two so I can quickly audit and fix as many of these issues as I can find and incorporate those fixes into the next release.
I have a few questions about the specific ones you mentioned:
When you say there is an unlabelled button in / next to each observation, do you mean in the "My Observations" tab where your observations are shown, or in the Explore observations where others observations can be found? And did you mean in the list view, where multiple observations can be scrolled, or in the observation detail view, where details about a specific observation are found?
Also, in the search box, which search box did you mean? I ask because many screens in the app provide search, for example: search for observations/taxa/people/etc on the explore tab, taxa search for observations, location for observation details, projects search, guide search, etc. If you can help me narrow it down it'll help me get it fixed faster.
I don't know where the sound player is, although the sound recorder seems to work & I was able to upload a recording just now.
On the details screen for an observation with sound, you can tap on the sound icon (where a photo would be for a photo observation) and it should open the iOS native sound player UI. However, if you haven't noticed that, chances are I missed another accessibility label on a button with an icon, so I'll fix that too. Apologies.
No worries, but yep we're working on a new mobile app. The announcement was made here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/inaturalist-mobile-app-development-news/27157 I'll let someone from that project speak to their priorities and accessibility plans, since I'm not really involved in it.
daniel5 December 19, 2022, 8:54pm #12
The unlabeled button next to each observation is in the "Me" tab, but I do not see an option to switch between grid and list views.
In every observation page, as well as next to the main search box on the "Explore" tab, there is a group of three unlabeled buttons that seem to be a three-way toggle. On testing just now, I also realize I can't get the search box to open.
The unlabeled buttons in each observation page do not seem to allow me to play sounds. For example, following are all the items, in order, on the observation page for a sound I just submitted today:
The back button, which takes me back to the "Me" tab;
the edit button (the editing screen also has a couple of unlabeled buttons near the top, between "done" and the species name);
A block of static text listing observer, date, and time (in this case: "daniel5, 12/19/22, 11:28 AM);
The "share" button, which happens to be unlabeled also, but in this case I guess VoiceOver sees the icon and predicts it is a share icon, which seems to be correct;
A button with the species name, here "Melanerpes Carolinus, Red-bellied Woodpecker", which takes you to the taxon page with the link to the iNat site;
The three unlabeled buttons which seem to be a toggle;
Text listing the location, which takes you to the map, etc.;
Lastly, the data quality heading and indications.
In other words, there is no control I can find that plays the sound. I clicked all of them. :)
I hope this helps, and I'd also love to see how accessibility is implemented in the new app.
janetwright December 19, 2022, 11:55pm #13
Thanks @daniel5 for educating us on this. It would be great if iNaturalist could be a leader on accessibility. I'd give this a higher priority than many of the feature suggestions that have been made. Let's do it!
alex December 21, 2022, 12:14am #14
Thanks Daniel, this is super helpful. Thanks to your help I was able to figure out why the sound player isn't registering with VoiceOver and fix it. That should be fixed for the next release.
I also learned that Apple has a utility for developers called "Accessibility Inspector" and a few videos from WWDC (Apple's annual developer conference) talking about how to use it. I apologize but I've never watched these videos before and don't know how to use this utility. I'm spending the rest of the day today and all day tomorrow watching these videos and doing Apple's tutorials to learn how to 1) audit apps for accessibility issues, and 2) fix the issues.
If you're willing to be a beta tester for our current iOS app, please email me at alex@inaturalist.org and I'll get you invited.
I spoke with the team and we'd also love to invite you to the beta program for our new app, but we won't be ready for beta testing on that app for a while, and I don't have an estimated date.
daniel5 December 21, 2022, 1:42am #15
Thanks so much for your update, and I really appreciate you taking all that time to watch the videos - I'm sure you had other plans.
As for the beta testing, I'll be emailing you directly. :)
Hi again Alex,
Email sent. :)
Hi again all,
Following are the best ways I have found to use iNaturalist between a Mac and an iPhone with the VoiceOver screen reader. To be clear, this is not ideal, and I'd like to see much more work done on the website end of things. But this is a place to start.
To upload an observation:
Record a sound and upload it using the iOS app;
Use the old observation form (deprecated) on Mac, but note that the species selector does not speak choices and you may have to make several attempts;
I haven't tested this, but I think it's likely that Safari on iPhone would work as well with the old observation form.
To search for and play sounds:
Use Chrome on Mac;
iOS app functionality coming soon, see below.
To suggest an ID:
Use the iOS app
Use Safari on iPhone.
When someone sends you an observation:
On iPhone, it will open in Safari;
Airdrop it to your Mac, where, unless you have set things up differently, it will also open in Safari;
Open Chrome on your Mac and paste the web address from Safari. You should then be able to play the sound on your Mac and suggest an ID on your iPhone.
When browsing audio observations in Chrome on Mac, you can airdrop the link to your phone and suggest an ID from there. This is because the sound player does not work as expected in any version of Safari, the iOS Chrome app, or the current iOS iNaturalist app. This last is about to be fixed according to @alex.
I hope this helps anyone looking to use some basic functionality with VoiceOver. Again, I'd like to see updates whereby it is possible to use iNat without having to resort to several platforms.


Forty years after his death, Jimi Hendrix is still leaving an impact on the music world. The recent release of Valleys of Neptune -- a collection of previously unreleased studio recordings -- rocketed Jimi to #4 on the Billboard 200 Chart, making it the highest-charting album of his career. While the legend of this true "guitar hero" lives on, no one celebrates it more than the remarkable Randy Hansen. For over thirty years, Hansen has been building a reputation as the foremost Hendrix tribute on Earth. As one of the few players officially recognized by the Hendrix family, he has been successfully doing his act since the '70s, stunning audiences worldwide as he channels the spirit of Jimi and perfectly recreates the stage presence and skill of the legendary axeman. Aside from his loyal fanbase, Hansen's guitar work is respected throughout the music business. He's played alongside some of the greats, including Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Miller, Paul Rodgers, Herbie Hancock, and original Jimi Hendrix Experience members Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell... Also original Band Of Gypsies members, Buddy Miles and Billy Cox.
Janis Lives is the definitive celebration of a rock-n-roll legend the Queen of psychedelic blues herself, Janis Joplin! Fronted by Sherrie "Voxxy" Johnson, a veteran vocalist in the Pacific Northwest,who looks and sounds very eerily like Janis. This is a performance not to be missed! After many years of being compared to the rock and roll icon, Sherrie decided to create a show in honor of the Rock Goddess. This jaw dropping, spine tingling, multi-media, live music production, captures the energy and presence of a woman who helped define an era, and will take you backto a time long gone, but never forgotten. All Hail...JANIS LIVES!

The Millenium Fund Unfunded
Thanks to Dimmy, I remembered that I wanted to mention the NYT's lead editorial today. It talks about the unfunded Millenium Fund.
At the Monterey summit meeting on poverty in 2002, President Bush announced the Millennium Challenge Account, which was supposed to increase the United States' assistance to poor countries that are committed to policies promoting development. Mr. Bush said his government would donate $1.7 billion the first year, $3.3 billion the second and $5 billion the third. That $5 billion amount would have been just 0.04 percent of America's national income, but the administration still failed to match its promise with action.
Back in Washington and away from the spotlight of the summit meeting, the administration didn't even ask Congress for the full $1.7 billion the first year; it asked for $1.3 billion, which Congress cut to $1 billion. The next year, the administration asked for $2.5 billion and got $1.5 billion.
Worst of all, the account has yet to disperse a single dollar, while every year in Africa, one in 16 pregnant women still die in childbirth, 2.2 million die of AIDS, and 2 million children die from malaria.
Jeffrey Sachs, the economist appointed by Kofi Annan to direct the Millennium Project, puts the gap between what America is capable of doing and what it actually does into stark relief.
The government spends $450 billion annually on the military, and $15 billion on development help for poor countries, a 30-to-1 ratio that, as Mr. Sachs puts it, shows how the nation has become "all war and no peace in our foreign policy." Next month, he will present his report on how America and the world can actually cut global poverty in half by 2015. He says that if the Millennium Project has any chance of success, America must lead the donors.
Around the time that BushCo announced the Millenium Fund, a lefty blogger (I can't remember which one) asked his readers to think of three good things BushCo had done. I could only come up with one and it was this fund. I should have known that it would be all show, as is every other humanitarian initiative this administration claims to support. They're scum.
As Dimmy asks in his post - is this the kind of example Kristof thinks the Dems should be following in their quest to work with the Christianists?

The Scottish Soils Database and Website project is the development of a pilot national website for soils supported by a database holding spatial and attribute data from a range of sources.
Like any other maps, soil maps display the distribution of features across the land. Soil maps are produced by field surveyors who examine soil profiles and draw boundaries between different soil types. The mapping methods have evolved over time, making use of new techniques such as aerial photography and satellite-based Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
The SSDW can be used to generate summaries of soils data and contextual information at a basic level of detail that is easily interpreted by non-experts or, alternatively, users can 'drill-down' to extract and analyse data using Open source interactive, geographical, tools.


How can i contact Dream Host by Phone?
how can i contact Dream Host by Phone? i need to find out the "Nameserver" to make my e-mail work since i bought the domain name from GoDaddy… can anyone help?
DH doesn't offer phone contact… on entry level plans, beggining with level 2 (sweet dreams) they allow 1 phone callback by month.
alright, can you just help me with finding my nameserver so i can make my e-mail work?
Anyway I'm just guessing what you wish to do… maybe if you explain what you plain to do, we can help you?
To change your nameserver on goddady go to your account, my domains select your domain, manage domain, select your desired domain, and on the next screen, search for a icon that says "nameservers" click on it, and where say something like PARK33.SECURESERVER.NET remplace one by one with ns1.dreamhost.com, ns2.dreamhost.com, ns3.dreamhost.com click on Ok, and wait the changes to propagate, in these time you can add your domains on the panel on dh, and edit your email accounts.
I admit you might not have KNOWN that you could do that, but you do now. If you can't find it on the wiki, the forums are the next best place to go.
With 400,000+ domains to manange they can't possibly take calls from every customer whenever the customer wants.
hi, thanks for the info again on the nameservers, i went to change them, and called tech support at godaddy, and dreamhost servers are not working at all with go daddy, how do i cancel with dream host? because the only way to solve this problem is getting the hosting from godaddy at this point.
Dreamhost nameservers work fine with goDaddy registered domains; there are many sites hosted on Dreamhost that are registered with goDaddy.
As was indicated in earlier posts, you need to set the nameserver records at goDaddy to those of Dreamhost's.
Once you have done this, and DNS has updated across the web, anyone browsing to your goDaddy registered domain name will see you rDreamhost hosted site.
This is not instantaneous - once you have successfully changed the namserver record information at goDaddy, it will take from a few hours up to several days for that change to be reflected all across the internet.
It will begin to "work" at different times for different people, depending upon the route their connection takes to connect to the site (whether or not the nameservers they use have received the updated information - those that have will see the Dreamhosted site, those that have not will be taken to the old goDaddy site).
Don't let goDaddy support or anyone else tell you that "DH nameservers will not work with a goDaddy registered domain name" or that you "have to host a domain with goDaddy if your domain is registered there" - that is just not true, and you should not believe it.
As vicm3 said; domains registered at Godaddy can most definitely be hosted here at DreamHost by configuring the name servers as outlined above. Are you sure you are waiting long enough after making the name server changes for them to propagate across the Internet. This can take a few days and your domain will not resolve correctly until this propagation is complete.
To quote Miracle Max's Wife: LIAR!!!
As an example, geekbrief.tv is a godaddy registered domain but points to rackspace… And geekbrief is sponsored by GoDaddy.
