Uninsured motorist (UM) is another form of coverage sold with most auto insurance policies. Basically it provides that in the event you are hurt by a driver who is without insurance coverage, you can bring a claim against your own insurance company for the losses you suffered due to the accident. In some ways it is as if your insurance company insured the responsible driver.
The amount of coverage varies. Most companies refuse to sell an amount any bigger than the amount of liability coverage provided under the auto policy. Commonly, if you have a liability policy which provides coverage of 25/50, the most uninsured motorist coverage you can purchase is 25/50 for you and your family. Insurance companies will, however, often sell amounts less than the amount of the liability coverage. In this example, that would mean you may have UM coverage of only 15/30 even though you have 25/50 in liability coverage.
Uninsured motorist coverage is some of the cheapest coverage available and is something designed to protect you and your family. Only after someone is involved in an accident with an uninsured driver do they realize the importance of this coverage. Many well-informed people will often carry very high liability coverage so they can get large uninsured motorist coverage.
Most uninsured motorist policies require claim be brought in a certain period of time. This is usually one year. When a statute of limitations is longer than a year, many people wait too long. If you are involved in an accident with a driver who lacks insurance coverage, consult your policy and make sure you bring a claim within the time specified in your policy.
Underinsured motorist coverage (UIM), like uninsured motorist coverage, is a form of coverage frequently contained in auto insurance policies. It is different than uninsured motorist coverage. It provides coverage if the party who is responsible for causing you injury is without high enough liability coverage to wholly pay you for your claim. As an example, if your claim possessed a value of $50,000 and the person who hit you had only $15,000 in coverage, you would receive a check from the responsible insurance company which is $35,000 less than the value of your claim. If, however, you possess underinsured motorist coverage in the amount of $50,000, you would be able to collect the remaining $35,000 from your own insurance company.
Underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage are generally sold with the same limits. The amount which can be collected under underinsured motorist coverage, however, varies from state to state. Some states, like California, provide for offset. As an example, if you possessed an injury claim for $100,000 and you and your underinsured motorist coverage was $50,000 with the responsible party having $15,000 in coverage, you would only be able to collect a total of $50,000, The responsible insurance company would pay $15,000 and your insurance company would pay $35,000 because it would take an offset for the $15,000 paid by the responsible party. Under this example, you would receive $50,000 less than the value of your case.
Some states refuse to allow insurance companies the right to offset. An example is Nevada. In Nevada, under the same set of circumstances, you would receive a total of $65,000, your policy payment of $50,000 and the $15,000 payment by the responsible insurance company. Some states find the offset provision cannot be enforced because the person who purchased the underinsured motorist coverage paid the premium for it and is entitled to full coverage. To enforce an offset provision makes the coverage uncertain and subject to the whim of how much insurance coverage is carried by the responsible driver.
Medical payments coverage (Med Pay) is frequently contained in an auto policy. It basically provides that medical expenses incurred as a result of an auto accident are paid by the auto insurance company. This coverage is sold in varying amounts generally ranging from $1,000 to $25,000. All policies require that you must see the doctor within a certain time following the accident. Most require you to see the doctor within 1 to 3 years.This normally means that the bill for the medical service must be "incurred" within the time limit. It isn't necessary you receive the bill within the time period, only that the medical service was given to you and the provider has a right to send a bill.
There are important differences between medical payment coverages. Some companies never require repayment of the amount in the event you are involved in an accident. Many companies, however, such as Allstate and Farmers, will attempt to take money from any settlement you receive! They will attempt to collect from money from the driver who caused your injury. This will reduce the amount you will be able to recover if you are involved in an accident in which someone else is at fault.
In some states this reimbursement of med pay cannot take place. The law of the state considers it as unfair since the person who purchased the policy already paid for the coverage and to allow the insurance company the right to get the money back is allowing the company to break its promise. Nevada, as an example, doesn't allow an insurance company to take back monies it promised to pay. California, on the other hand, does.
Your insurance company may attempt to restrict the payments for your medical treatment following an accident. This has recently become an unfortunate trend and you must be vigilant. An attorney, such as those at David Allen & Associates, can assist you in assuring that all of your medical bills are paid following an injury, because the last thing you need to worry about when you hurt is how to pay the bills.
There are all kinds of insurance claims. When you suffer injury and are considering bringing a claim for the injury, there are several forms of insurance coverage which may come into play.


The failure of the Soyuz 2-1b rocket launch recently has continued a depressing trend for the Kremlin, with 10 failed launches during the tenure of Dmitry Rogozin, the deputy prime minister in charge of the defense industry. In a recent Kremlin meeting on the subject, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said the failures had "become a repetitional issue" for the country. "Dmitry Olegovich, I hope you understand the seriousness of this matter," he said, reported The Independent.
We have reported repeatedly on the loss of marketshare for Russian commercial satellite launches due to the rise of SpaceX. The Russian share of the international market has shrunk from an overwhelming majority to approximately 30%.
"Up until an hour after launch, everything was going fine. It was only the second launch at Russia's new far-eastern Vostochny Cosmodrome, so there was a festive atmosphere. The equipment — the Soyuz 2-1b rocket, Fregat booster, and associated payload of 19 satellites — was well-worked and considered reliable. The rocket was a direct descendent of the one that sent Yuri Gagarin to space, and has been refined thousands of times since…Three hours later, of course, Russia's space corporation Roscosmos admitted "anomalies."", wrote The Independent.
The cause of the failure is most likely faulty components of the rocket's construction. The vehicle's design has been well proven.
The Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation, have used their capability in the space industry as a badge of honor in international relations. The recurring failures are a stain on the country that Russians take personally.
Corruption, intense security, restrictions, and shrinking recruitment of young engineers, could be the cause of the low quality of hardware being built by Russian industry.

The Vampire Diaries – Episode 4-23 Review – "Graduation"
Matt Basilo | May 28, 2013 | Reviews, Shows | No Comments
First and foremost, Happy Memorial Day to everyone! The weekend hasn't been great weather (or excitement) wise, but I hope everybody has enjoyed their time away from work. And more importantly, let's be sure to remember what this day is about – the courageous men and women who have served our country. I extend a special thank you to them, and their families (who make a mighty sacrifice as well).
I do apologize for the lateness of this episode review, but since it was the finale I wanted to make sure to devote the proper amount of time to it. Overall, I enjoyed the finale but felt that it didn't live up to last year's cliffhanger. Last year left me wondering what impact Elena's "death" would have on the series. It also featured a fairly significant loss with Alaric dying as well. And Elena had finally made a decision between Stefan and Damon. What impact would that have on all the relationships involved?
This finale featured many of those same climaxes. Again, there was a significant death. There was also a transformation of sorts for an important character. And, again, Elena made a decision between Damon and Stefan. Yet, oddly, I don't necessarily feel that eagerness to find out what's going to happen next. Don't get me wrong – it was an exciting hour and I felt that each of those happenings was handled well. I'm just not necessarily sure I was AS invested in each of those events, which I'll explain below.
Before getting to that, let me just say that the graveyard lunch scene between Elena, Alaric, and Jeremy may very well have been the most tenderhearted moment of the entire season. Seeing the three of these characters together was reminiscent of a simpler time. At one point, all three of these people were human beings that were a bit lost in this world, but came together out of a mutual need and desire to be part of a family. But now? Jeremy and Alaric are death, and Elena is a vampire. But even before dying, Alaric was turned into an original vampire and Jeremy became a supernatural vampire hunter with special abilities. It was somewhat nice just seeing them sitting down, acting normal, and eating French fries. I was a little surprised, though, that they were so flippant about Elena burning down the family house with Jeremy's dead body inside.
It also bothered me that nobody brought up the fact that Jenna wasn't there. According to the Twitter account of executive producer Julie Plec, Jenna didn't appear because she's at peace and therefore isn't on the "other side." Surely that's something that could have been mentioned, no? How difficult would it have been for Alaric or Jeremy to quickly say, "At least Jenna found peace and wasn't trapped on the other side"? It would have taken all of 15 seconds, and the line wouldn't have stuck out as unnatural. If the executive producer felt it necessary to spell it out on Twitter, she must have had a fair amount of people asking her about it.
And for that matter, the argument that Jenna "found peace" is a tad weak, anyway. What's the difference between her and, say, Jeremy? Is it the fact that Jeremy had killed vampires? Does that automatically make one evil and unworthy of moving onto a peaceful afterlife?
As a side note, I did get a bit of a kick out of the fact that the people who returned while the veil was down couldn't actually die. The logic made perfect sense: When they die, they go to the other side. But the veil between the two sides is down, so that'll just allow them to return again. So it was basically a waiting game. It was actually quite clever and, thankfully, avoided getting silly. One thing I did feel that came across as a bit forced was the fact that the group stopped everything to attend their graduation. Unfortunately, this series hasn't put an emphasis on their school lives in quite some time. The only time the school is ever referenced is when they're planning a party or they have some sort of cheerleading competition. It just felt a bit contrived, even though it did include one of the coolest scenes of the episode (more on that later).
As you watched the finale, you had to know that Elena was going to pick Damon in the end. The first hint was when she pulled Stefan aside first and asked to speak with him. When they had their heart to heart, and she made no reference to their future together, you could just sense that they were saving that discussion for later in the episode with her and Damon. I wasn't completely sold on the scene, though. It isn't because she went with the relationship I'm not really backing (I still think the end game will see her end up with Stefan), it's because the same thing happened last year and within a few episodes she and Stefan had broken up…..and only an episode or two later she was shacking up with Damon. A major decision like this should feel conclusive, even if it isn't. I just didn't feel it.
Having said that, I really did enjoy a lot of the sweeter moments of those aforementioned scenes. Elena giving up the cure so that Stefan could have it was a really nice moment that showed how much she cares about him, even if she isn't necessarily in love with him at this point in time. And Stefan's confession to Damon that he's happy that his brother found happiness (even though he's not happy about who it is with) was a touching moment that shows how much these two brothers truly care about one another. Even the scene in which Elena chooses Damon was well done, because it captured the dynamic of their relationship. The brooding and yelling and anger and general explosiveness works for Damon and Elena, even when they're professing their love for each other. That sort of energy would not have worked with the generally more tender love between Elena and Stefan. Sometimes it's fun watching that passion play out.
Perhaps my favorite scenes of the finale actually had to do with the originals and their respective love interests. I've practically written entire reviews on how much I've enjoyed Rebekah's progression, so it's been a lot of fun seeing Matt finally accepting her over the past few episodes. Their various moments together, particularly when trapped in the explosive filled parking lot, were really great. But perhaps the best moment of the finale had to be when Klaus – of all people – came to the rescue of virtually everybody! He saved Caroline, Elena, and Stefan from the dead witches, and then he rescued Damon with his blood. Seeing him arrive in the nick of time to decapitate a witch with a graduation cap was friggin bad ass! And while I don't think there's much of a future between Caroline and Tyler (the single most disposable character on all of television), since they seem to be building up a potential Stefan/Caroline romance, his line that Tyler is her first love, while he intends to be her last one, was pretty awesome. You want to set up Klaus as a hero for the spin off series? This is how you do it!
While I have been somewhat critical of the sudden reemergence of Katherine and the expectation that we should inherently want to see an epic showdown between her and Elena, I have to admit that it was a bit of fun seeing them go at it. Do I think it was this huge moment that was a long time coming? No, not really. But it was a bit poetic. Elena had shifted all of these emotions towards Katherine and she finally found closure and got over it. But then Katherine comes out of nowhere with her own chip on her shoulder. The fight did a fine enough job of explaining why these two aren't fond of each other, but I do have to admit that – while I'm not necessarily invested in Katherine suddenly being a human now, I will say that I am intrigued by her new role. She was always able to get away with being such a bitch because she was older and stronger than everybody. How will things change now that she's a human within a group of vampires?
I already discussed my lack of attachment to Bonnie's death in my prior episode's review, but I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed when she magically brought Jeremy back to life (despite really liking him as a character). For one, was it really explained how she did it? Other than saying, "I can use expression!"? My biggest issue is that bringing him back waters down the significance of his death. We've seen a lot of central characters die on this series – Vickie, Alaric, Jenna, Tyler's mom, just to name a few – but perhaps none was more emotionally significant than Jeremy. His death pushed Elena over the edge, and she wasn't able to come back until she came to terms with it (even though her humanity had returned). Both of those scenes were really powerful. A little of that luster is gone when – POOF! – he's suddenly brought back to life.
The twist at the end was a tad too wordy and expositional for my tastes, but it was still neat. Every year the season seems to end with either Damon or Stefan promising that they're going to leave town, only to find some reason to stay. This was a clever way to keep Paul Wesley the actor and "Stefan" the essential character on screen without going against the promise. I wasn't completely sold on the whole Silas thing and I still don't completely understand his diatribe at the end, but it'll be fun seeing "Stefan"" stirring some trouble with these other characters, who he undoubtedly blames for his demise.
And that, my friends, is the end of season four. Continue visiting my blog over the summer as I tend to post some fun stuff. As far as The Vampire Diaries goes, I'll be seeing you next season!

Ai WeiWei, the dissident Chinese artist, posted a series of shocking videos over the weekend of his studio in Beijing being razed to the ground, as his team did everything they could to remove years of work from the interior.
The artist has become increasingly outspoken against the Chinese government over the last decade, especially since his criticisms of their response to the Sichuan earthquake in 2008. His passport was confiscated for several years after his arrest for tax evasion in 2011, and since it was returned in 2015 he has lived in Berlin.
The artist had expected to leave the studio (named Zuoyou) soon anyway, and its site in a former car parts factory is said by local residents to have been slated for redevelopment by the authorities, but the unforeseen start of the demolition works meant that the sculptures in the studio were at risk of destruction. Along with videos of the demolition in progress, Ai posted images of works that had been constructed there, including his 2013 Venice Biennale installation, Bang, 2010-2013.

Romain Métanire (born 28 March 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender. He has previously played in France for FC Metz and Stade de Reims, with whom he won Ligue 2 in 2017–18, as well as in Belgium with KV Kortrijk. Born in France, he represents the Madagascar national team.

Club career

Metz
Métanire was born in Metz, but has origins in Réunion. Having joined FC Metz at the age of six, he started his career in the club's reserve team and made his debut in the Championnat de France amateur (CFA) on 11 October 2008, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 draw away at Colmar. He made three further substitute appearances in the 2008–09 season as the reserve side was relegated to the CFA 2. He made his first start for Metz B in the 5–2 home win over Pontarlier on 15 August 2009. He went on to play 19 matches during the campaign, becoming a regular fixture in the team that gained promotion back to the CFA as winners of their group. He also scored the first goal of his career in the 2–1 victory away at Troyes B on 21 March 2010.

As a result of his performances in the reserve team, Métanire was selected on the substitutes' bench for the match away at Clermont Foot on 29 October 2010. He entered play in the 89th minute, replacing Belgian midfielder Gaëtan Englebert. He again appeared as a late substitute the following week in the home defeat to Le Mans, before returning to the B team. He played 29 CFA matches for the reserves during the 2010–11 season. Métanire was handed his first senior start in the final Ligue 2 match of the campaign, as Metz were beaten 4–3 away to Evian TG.

In the 2011–12 season, Métanire established himself as Metz' first-choice right-back, starting in all of the side's first 21 matches of the campaign.

On 5 February 2016, he scored a goal against AS Nancy in injury time. In reference to the occasion, t-shirts were sold with the message "Je t'aime comme un but de Métanire à la 91e". In his time at Metz, he made 180 league appearances scoring two goals.

Kortrijk
On 15 July 2016, Métanire left Metz for Belgian club KV Kortrijk.

Reims
On 18 January 2017, after just six months with Kortrijk, Métanire returned to his native France joining Stade Reims on a 1.5-year contract.

Métanire helped Stade de Reims win the 2017–18 Ligue 2 and promote to the Ligue 1 for the 2018–19 season.

Minnesota United
On 25 January 2019, Métanire signed with MLS club Minnesota United. Following the 2022 season, his contract option was declined by Minnesota.

International career
Métanire was born in France, and is of Malagasy descent. He was called up to the Madagascar national team on 11 August 2018. He made his debut for Madagascar in a 2–2 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tie with Senegal on 9 September 2018.

Yesterday, those who have accepted the Christian faith (or claim to) celebrated the resurrection of our Lord. He suffered, died, and was buried, but as Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15, it was all according to the Scriptures. Christ completed His work of atonement on the cross, and paid the price for all sins, curses, and iniquities that the children of God committed against the Father. He suffered in our place, and bore the suffering of the Father's righteous anger. He died so that He would bare our sin and shame, but praise be to God that it wasn't the end of the story.
On the third day, early Sunday morning of that week, Christ rose from the grave, conquering all the powers of Hades (Sheol, translation: death). Our God dwelled in death and was buried in the grave, but He rose according to the Scriptures. The Father lifted Him up in glory, and now He sits on the right hand of the Father. Christ not only completed the work of atonement, but was merciful enough to prove to the world that He is the Sovereign Lord over all. It is the resurrection that gives us the justification to believe that Jesus is truly the Son of God, and the promised Son of David. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
That being said, Christ's resurrection power did not end with a single event. There is a great, astonishing work of the resurrection that is applicable to our lives as well. Paul spoke more on the resurrection of Christ than any other writer in the New Testament, and it is clear that Paul was passionate about the fact that Christ was risen indeed. How could He not be? He rejected Christ, believed Jesus was simply a dead man who had a cult following of lunatics, and sought to destroy the Church (and ironically, he did it in the name of God). Paul's life immediately changed on fateful day.
He travelled to Damascus to continue His persecution of the Church. Suddenly, the heavens opened up, a great light came over Paul, and he heard the Voice from Heaven which said, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" It was the very voice of Christ. Paul, believing that Jesus was a dead man, was amazed. Jesus Christ was no longer a dead man to Paul, but a resurrected King. He was blinded after that, but His eyes were then opened to God's power, both physically and spiritually. God saved Him, and He recognized that it was not up to His own power.
This is best recognized when Paul wrote a letter to the Romans, a letter which outlines the theological framework of Christianity, as well as the true understanding of Christ's death and resurrection. In Romans 6, we can see the implications of the resurrection in our life. Beginning from Romans 6:3-4 (ESV), it says, "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." This is a great and marvelous aspect of baptism, which my good friend Ashton Clark pointed out in one of his blog posts (it's a great post, please click here to read), that we are no longer living according to the old, but according to the new creation that God has created us into.
We were once dead in our sin, but in Christ we are dead to sin. Sin no longer has power over us through Christ's death, for our assurance is not in our works, but His work on the cross. However, the resurrection is a sign of greater significance when it comes to freedom from sin. The Israelites sacrificed all kinds of beasts, and they atoned for the sins of Israel, but the animals did not resurrect from death, which leaves me to believe that is the reason why Christ had to come. Those Sacrifices were not only made to be temporary, their effect in itself is temporary.
Romans 6:9-11 (ESV) reassures us of the permanence of Christ's work saying, "We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death He died He died to sin, once for all, but the life He lives He lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus." Therefore, how are we able to question God's work of security in our salvation? It is not we who live, but Christ who lives in us. He alone is the perfector of our faith, and His work is enough to have salvation. This is glorious news that we are free from sin, and it is not because of our abilities.
We didn't offer the best lamb, we didn't provide the best service, and we certainly didn't pray the most touching prayer that could possible cause God to submit to a sinner's demand. Rather it is that we have died with Christ, and we have risen with Christ.
Christ's death assures us that He has paid the penalty for our sin.
Christ's resurrection: assures that us that His sacrifice is sufficient, and that His covenant to His children is everlasting.
It is biblically impossible for those who are chosen by God to be bond servants to sin. The only way to believe such a theological heresy is to base it completely off of experience. We who are in Christ have been partakers of His work. How else can we take communion? How else can we approach His presence with joy and gladness, confident that Jesus has paid it all? How else are we able to say there is life everlasting if not for His work of resurrection within us? Who the Son sets free, is free indeed; and we know this because Christ has risen, He has risen indeed!
I so enjoy reading your proclamations of TRUTH, James! Also, a wonderful job preaching on Good Friday. May God continue to bless and use you!
