In Congress, a hidebound Republican Party is frog-walking conservative Democrats away from single-payer policies, which would bring competition to a monopolized health insurance marketplace.
The Transition Report on Competition Policy compiled by the American Antitrust Institute states: "Competition is the preferred regulator of business behavior." The conclusion is undeniable – competition lowers costs. Competition causes expansion in industrial-policy variation. Competition is the market's invisible hand, and bailouts directed to financial cartels are indicators that Congress, over several administrations, failed to maintain competitive markets.
By repealing anti-competitive legislation like the McCarran-Ferguson Act, the Senate Finance Committee could move to lower health care costs. Instead, competition is inhibited to support existing monopolistic and cartel formation. In addition, the Finance Committee's policy-making elite relies upon the continued abandonment of federal antitrust enforcement to further the erosion of competition; it also ensures that the industry's captive customer base undergoes additional harm from systematic denial of vital medical services in support of corporate/investor profits.
While competition is the health of our economic system, well-established corporations will naturally collude to eliminate it by simple self-interest. It is not true that free markets self-regulate: Unrestrained, undisciplined markets are deregulated markets that hinder rivalry and rush toward monopolization. Government, the necessary evil, provides the proper restraint, discipline, regulation and enforcement that make an economy work for everyone: the poor, the middle class and the wealthy.
By refusing to invest the health insurance industry with competition, the Senate Finance Committee cannot act to control costs. Instead, the Senate seditiously maintains a disabled health insurance market.
Congress' historical failure to maintain market competition has left us to deal with the wretched truth of its policies – that the exertion of extraordinary corporate influence on Congress is the most fundamentally obvious example of conflict of interest anywhere. Lobbying practices are what happens when Congress understands the natural human weakness to accept bribery then sanctifies it with legality.
Parents, just say "no" to CSAP. Organize. Start with yourself. You are the decision maker regarding your child's declining to become another sheep filling in bubbles properly.
The administrative sheep are at the cliff's edge and don't know what to do with themselves or their confusion, so now they're shooting from their hips right down to their feet.
Re-read, slowly with forbearance, the article in the Tribune of Aug. 8. Headline: "… scores improve." But, "growth is middling." "The growth model" is the newest eyeball to the cauldron.
We have a growth chart on our kitchen wall, and we periodically mark and date our 8-year-old grandson's growth. Either spurts or not much change. It seems a foolish endeavor to predict one or the other. Even though "the Colorado Growth Model" has been several years in the making, district officials are still grappling with the new reporting method, and Superintendent Lang admits that "because the system is so new … it's something that none of us really have an answer to." Yet cheerleader clairvoyant Lang predicts that "over time, we're going to get better and better and better." Three betters are positively better than one.
The clincher of the article, replete with much delusional babble, is the wrap up that the district has the ability to ready students for life after high school. Parents, say "no" to CSAP.
He is touting freedom from religion, not freedom of religion. Is this tolerant? Is this open-minded? I don't believe he has been educated about our nation's history when he states we are "not a Christian nation." Our Constitution and Declaration of Independence are the foundations on which we stand as Americans.
Brandt is "cherry-picking" Scripture describing the early church as rejecting non-believers. The context is Paul teaching the church how to confront and correct a believer who offends, sins against him. If he finally refuses correction, he is to be excluded from worship and fellowship.
I tire of the repeated reference to the requirement no longer observed that women should not speak in church, and their head should be covered. There is a difference between liturgical rules and the basic tenets of Christianity. Are all traffic laws found in the Constitution? Similarly, we are never to kill, even the unborn or the infirmed terminal patient. And marriage and family are to be honored and protected as foundational to our society. These things should never change.
Christians are not perfect. Those who burn abortion clinics are wrong, but to label all Christians as terrorists is as bad as calling all Muslims terrorists. It's time to stop the hate. Shame on The Tribune for printing such vitriol.
Aug. 8), but he seems to have made the best possible case in favor of the legislation.
Metcalf argues that the bill will change American spending habits to be "totally the opposite of consumers' past history." Then he details the results of that past history – "Foreclosures at historic highs, bankruptcy at record levels, credit card losses mounting" etc.
I think we all agree that the status quo is broken. That's why a knee-jerk reaction to the clean energy bill is so wrong. The American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) is the first serious step the United States has taken to develop our renewable energy resources and grab a part of the newly emerging clean energy sector of the world economy. Colorado has vast untapped resources for renewable energy, from wind power to biofuels from our farms, but we can't dither while other countries corner these markets.
The other concerns Metcalf mentions are more straightforward, but misplaced. He says everyone will need to pay much more for energy, but three government studies have calculated the cost to the average American household at less than a postage stamp per day. He says manufacturing costs will rise, but a new study by Duke University shows that only 1.3 percent of manufacturing plants in America would even be covered under a carbon cap.
Take a look at LessCarbonMoreJobs.org to see a list of companies that are already working on clean energy in Colorado, and are poised to grow and add jobs under this bill. Instead of continuing to support the status quo out of fear, it's time we start supporting businesses like these – ones that can help Colorado create a better future. That's why we need our senators to pass a clean energy bill.
A free speech zone? You've got to be kidding me! Now if we want to hold a political protest sign, we are restricted to a certain area. Who determines this area? How far away from the politicians is it? Is it surrounded by razor wire? What happens if you step outside the boundary? Are armed guards patrolling the perimeter? What is America coming to? I seem to remember something in our Constitution about making no law abridging our freedom of speech. Is this freedom restricted to a certain geographic area?
For those of you who think the rage at these town hall meetings is a sham, backed by some money-grubbing organization, perhaps you should attend a meeting or two. I have attended four and can assure you that nobody encouraged me or paid me to go, and the only people I saw there were concerned citizens who had had enough stupidity, corruption and ineptness in our government.
I believe that the health care issue is bearing the brunt of our discontent, but that the underlying cause is that we no longer have faith in our government to do anything well. We all know that if the government is in charge of our health care it will be fraught with waste, pork, self-interest, runaway spending, and you can multiply their projected cost estimates by a factor of five, to get what it will actually cost.
Listen up, incumbents, your jobs are in jeopardy. You'd best start listening. We're mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore.
This letter is in response to the Greeley City Council decision regarding a new King Soopers Marketplace.
St. Michaels, the east side of CenterPlace, plus many others.
47th Avenue, indicating to me that it sensed poor market conditions.
While I am sure west Greeley residents would like the convenience of a new and closer grocery store plus other related businesses, I believe you risk the loss of existing businesses and will potentially add to the already high number of vacant buildings. As the city encourages development to the west, the central and eastern parts continue to lose business and decline.
Where is the estimated $30 million in additional revenue for a new King Soopers Marketplace going to come from? Most likely it will come from current Greeley businesses. I doubt that you will attract a significant customer base from residents who live west of Greeley and already shop in Loveland and Fort Collins.
The city needs to concentrate on the maintenance and development of our existing city structure rather than continually invest in something new while ignoring the old.

Our Friends the Albanians
For those still harboring the illusion that Albanians are freedom-loving revolutionaries rather than traffickers of people, heroin, weapons, organs and stolen cars — not to mention terrorists who should have been the first to be tried at the Hague — former Hague prosecutor Carla Del Ponte's book will be a must-read when it's translated into English.
In addition to long-term Albanian brutality against non-Albanians and non-nationalist Albanians alike, it reveals that the Americans intervened to ensure Del Ponte didn't get any serious convictions, and in some cases didn't even charge, members of the Albanian leadership with any crimes despite their having been behind most of the war crimes that happened (not to mention every other kind of crime). Kosovo leaders such as Hashim Thaci, Agim Ceku and Ramush Haradinaj were all wanted either by the Hague or Interpol, but the U.S. managed to get them off the hook to the best of its abilities.
Note: Haradinaj did just stand trial, with witnesses dropping out one after the other to save their families from a gruesome death — and was acquitted this month. John Bosnitch, president of the Washington chapter of the Serbian Unity Congress, described the situation in a November email:
The true nature of the Albanian leadership [is] a gang of criminal extremists so bloodthirsty that they started all of their actions by first wiping out their own people whenever they found an Albanian who was not a racist nationalist extremist and instead believed in coexistence with Serbs. The fact that Albanian witnesses of such war crimes are this very day testifying at the Hague about how Kosovo Albanian leaders slaughtered ALBANIAN men, women and children and that witnesses are being forced to testify by arrest because they fear for their lives from war crimes indicteee former Albanian Prime Minister of Kosovo Haradinaj speaks volumes about what kind of a state Kosovo would be…Kosovo does not meet minimal rule-of-law standards, Kosovo has done nothing to return the victims of Albanian ethnic cleansing, Kosovo Albanians control the international heroin trade, they smuggle women for forced prostitution and are spreading the tentacles of an ultra-violent Albanian mafia worldwide in a way that makes all other criminal gangs tremble in fear.
On that subject:
Belgium Weekly: Albanian Mafia Rules West
In its latest March 19 issue, Brussels weekly TeleMoustique offers an exclusive dossier about the mafia in Belgium where, according to the Belgian police department specialized for Albanian organized crime, Albanian mafia clans dominate, leading in the illegal trade, including human trafficking and the sale of cocaine and heroin.
The Albanian gangs are spread throughout Europe, the report says, adding that Albanian brutality and networks of prostitution rings have made them notorious and dominant in human trafficking in the West.
Belgium is regarded as the most important country in Albanian human trafficking, being the last port before the entry to Great Britain, considered the "El Dorado of the illegal immigration".
According to the TeleMoustique report, one of Albanian 'specialties' remains banditry, ranging from cigarette theft [in] gas stations, store thefts to robberies of trucks transporting goods, Belgian police commissar assigned to the department of Albanian organized crime said.
[The] Belgian police has found the Albanian mafia is most often sending this money by other expats to Albania and Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija, to be "invested" in the building of houses and gas pumps.

Local Emergency Planning Committee Meeting
Minutes April 17, 2008
Members attending were Don Button, Richard Everett, Dan Bynum, Anita Alvarado, Randy McCauley, Ruben Flores, Richard Banes, Beverly Myers, Al Baker, Jim Spooner, Roger Gardner, Alan Olson, Jeff Baier, Ramona Fonseca-Nava and Sharon Phelps.
Meeting was called to order at 12:01 pm, by Chairman Button. Introductions were done by members. Minutes of the March 20, 2008 were discussed, with Al Baker making a motion to approve the minutes, and Beverly Myers seconded. Motion carried.
Don discussed the new Local Emergency Operations Plan. Don went over the Emergency Support Functions, advising which departments were involved with those functions and that they needed to look over their responsibilities to make sure they were correct. Don advised that most of the departments had a password to get on line to look and correct their sections. Don also said if they needed help to come to his office and they would work on it together. Don has sent this to the State to look at to make sure it met all of the NIMS (National Incident Management System) guidance and it has been approved by the state. As soon as the departments agree with what has been written, Don will get the signature pages signed, and send a copy to the state.
Don showed the committee a copy of the Citizen Preparedness brochures, which the SW Regional Council had prepared for the 18 counties in our region.
Don discussed with the committee about narrow-banding of public safety radio communications. Don said that all of the radio frequencies used in our county will have to be narrow-banded by 2013. Many of the radios and repeaters used now will not work on the new narrow-banded frequencies. Don has requested that each department put together a list of radio and repeaters used by each department (make, model, number on hand, number needed, mobile, hand held) and get to him as he is developing a plan to start changing over radios now to help offset the cost of doing this at one time. Some of the departments have radios that will work with narrow-banding but once they have requested a narrow-band frequency, only those with narrow banded radios will be able to communicate with each other.
Resource Typing was discussed with the committee. Part of being NIMS compliant is resource management. Using FEMA guidelines, all counties are to type their resource (equipment), to be better prepared to respond to disasters locally, regionally, or state wide.
An update on the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training was given. Twelve (12) local citizens attended the first training April 11, 12, and will finish their required 20 hours training April 25, 26.
Ramona Fonseca-Nave advised that Bob Wilson Hospital would be participating in a Regional exercise April 25th in Garden City. They were also working on getting their employees trained in ICS 100 & ICS 200. They were also updating their hospital plan.
Anita Alvarado and Richard Everett stated that the health department was working on a food borne illness exercise for their regional health departments, which include, Grant, Stanton, Morton, Stevens and Seward counties.
Al Baker advised that Columbia Chemical had completed the ISO certification for the plant.
The next meeting for the LEPC will be May 21, 2008 (correction May 15, 2008) at the Fire Station at noon. Don said that he would send out reminders before the next meeting, and would need an RSVP, as he would furnish Pizza for lunch.
Don invited the members to look over the Hazmat and Communications trailers that Grant County has before leaving.
Ruben Flores made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Roger Gardner. Motion carried
Meeting adjourned at 1:00pm
Don Button, Chairman

The advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. Political, economic and social equality of the sexes.
For some reason some men and women don't like the word feminism or feminist. Predictably, the word has been weaponized by society so a larger block of the population will not subscribe to this beautiful and simple concept of equality for both men and women. It's a word that has been used to crowbar men and women apart and turn us against each other.
But not in surfing. The act of surfing is the perfect example of men and women achieving equality. Waves are not handed out at breaks. Men and women compete against each other for every single wave that rises up out of the ocean. Every surfer in the water has to earn their waves with their courage, strength and skill. Women surfing is an act of feminism whether we want it to be or not and men being happy for women that surf is an act of feminism whether they want it to be or not.
On a big day there is no gender. Waves don't care who they are wiping out and swallowing up. Men hoot and holler a woman into a big wave as much as they will any man because all are equal at that moment and all are brave.
This is important because on dry land men and women will carry that memory of being allies into everyday life. The experience of surfing together will influence who we hire, how we regard each other and how we value each other. And that is totally radical.


I loved the pics too! I emailed for more information and the lady was pretty quick sending back the requested information. I'm not sure what your budget is but mine is rather *cheap* because I'm not getting married just planning for my 10th anniversary. I don't want to spend as much on that as I would have on a wedding lol Request more information to see if it'll fit into your budget. I agree that it definitely is a great looking venue. Best wishes!
They told me to plan for $125 per person. I'm not sure if they are saying that with all things included or just what they provide and the catering.

EC 2020 first report on the rule of law in the EU: situation in Romania
Since accession to the EU in 2007, Romanian reforms in the areas of justice and anticorruption have been followed by the Commission through the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM), as an important framework for progress towards meeting the set benchmarks. In 2020, the Government continued to affirm its commitment to restore the path of judicial reform after the reverses of 2017-2019.
This led to a significant decrease in tensions with the judiciary. The recent appointments of new leadership for the key prosecutorial services could pave the way for more efficient continuation of prosecutorial activity. However, progress towards amending the relevant legislation has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the forthcoming national elections.
The controversial measures with negative impact on judicial independence continue to apply, such as the Section for the Investigation of Offences in the Judiciary, tasked exclusively with the prosecution of crimes committed by judges and prosecutors. The continued implementation of these measures increases uncertainty for the functioning of the justice system, in particular through their combined effect. Moreover, some of these measures may also negatively affect the human resources within the justice system, with implications for its efficiency.
Romania has a comprehensive national anti-corruption strategic framework based on the large participation of national and local institutional actors. Despite Romania's progress and track record in the fight against corruption over the last decade, the challenges faced by the judiciary during 2017-2019 have raised questions as to the sustainability of anti-corruption reforms.
Even if the current political context means less confrontation, key institutions face a challenging environment with consequences for the implementation of legal framework and institutional capacity. Although key competent institutions have continued their activity, this poses challenges to maintaining the strong track record of prosecuted cases and court judgments convicting high-level corruption.
The pending amendments of the Criminal Code and Code of criminal procedures raise uncertainty about the effectiveness of the anticorruption legal framework, making it important that legal and policy solutions are found responding to key Constitutional Court decisions.
The current Government has shown a renewed commitment to make progress on the preventive side through the comprehensive National Anti-Corruption Strategy. The relevant legal safeguards concerning media freedom and pluralism are in place.
Nonetheless, issues arise in relation to the implementation and enforcement of the existing legislative framework. Transparency of media ownership appears to be incomplete, and the audio-visual media regulatory authority lacks the resources to fully perform its tasks. Media may be prone to political pressures, as specific legal safeguards for editorial independence are mostly lacking, apart from some self-regulation at newsroom or publisher level.
The ordinary process for preparing and enacting laws is well regulated, including an extended institutional set-up of checks and balances, but its effectiveness varies. Government Emergency Ordinances continue to be widely used and successive uncoordinated legislative amendments also have an impact on the quality of legislation and legal certainty, including for the business environment.
There is an enabling legislative framework for civil society, which is an active force and has been able to react against attempts to limit its activities. Civil society has had an important role in defending the rule of law in Romania.
A particularity of Romania, as for Bulgaria, is that the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism (CVM) was established at the accession to the European Union in 2007 as a transitional measure to facilitate Romania's continued efforts to reform its judiciary and step up the fight against corruption1 . In line with the decision setting up the Mechanism, the CVM ends when all the benchmarks applying to Romania are satisfactorily met2 .
In its reports of January 2017, the Commission adopted a comprehensive assessment of Romania's progress over the ten years of the CVM. It also set out a path towards the conclusion of the Mechanism based on 12 final key recommendations that, if complied with, would be sufficient to meet the goals of the CVM.
Due to developments that followed in Romania the Commission issued eight additional recommendations in November 2018. In the latest CVM report, adopted in October 2019, the Commission concluded that Romania still had to progress on the recommendations of the January 2017 and November 2018 reports. In 2019, Romanian courts referred several requests for preliminary rulings to the Court of Justice of the EU on the obligations of Romania under the CVM and to follow up on CVM recommendations3 . The cases are currently pending.

Populated of 600,000, Lisbon is the Capital and biggest urban area of Portugal. Situated in the southerly component of the nation where the Stream Targus flows in to the sea, Lisbon is an attractive urban area situateded within seven hillsides.
Lisbon is a multi-dimensional urban area filled with contrasts, from its medieval Moorish architecture to the exceptionally tiled mosaic pavements, modern high increases and Art Nouveau architecture.
The peak for Lisbon was between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, when Portugal was a busy port, thanks mostly to the traveler Vasco da Gama that found a path to India in 1498. Gems and flavors were streaming in from these foreign ports, and Lisbon continued to flourish up till the terrific 1755 Lisbon quake, which followed by a tsunami, wreaked extreme damages after Lisbon, and the city was never ever able to reclaim its previous notability.
Although much of the city was stamped out by the quake, the oldest component of Lisbon, called Alfama and situated by the river, made it through mainly undamaged and features numerous medieval structures. It remains a location of winding maze-like narrow roads with numerous Fado bars (Fado is a design of mournful music) and dining establishments. The most famous structure around is the middle ages Castle of Sao Jorge, which with its 10 towers rests atop a hillside providing fantastic sights of the city and the River Targus.
One more tourist attraction is the Portugese Late Gothic-style Religion of Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Velha. Although harmed throughout the quake, it was reconstructed utilizing recuperated items of the building.
The most famous monolith in Lisbon is also in the Portuguese Late Gothic design and is the impressive Jeronimos Abbey, including the fantastic cloister. Additionally in this area is the 16th Century Belem Tower, which was created as a memorial to Vasco da Gama.
There are additionally some high quality galleries in Lisbon, most especially the National Gallery of Ancient Fine art, which consists of a remarkable collection of fine art, engravings, sculpture, jewelry, furniture, fabrics and even more. The Gallery is situated in a 17th-century royal residence.

Hi! Aspen here. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sure you all know how big american flag print clothing has been lately. It's been everywhere! I must say, I've been sucked into its glorious vortex.
I can't believe how trendy our flag has become! Never did I think I'd see well known fashion bloggers wearing our flag proudly and stylishly. But here we are! I'm completely in love with the new sweeping trend. I've had my eyes out for anything covered in stars and stripes. Luckily, as I was thrift shopping I found this gem! A beautiful sweater vest adorned with ol' glory in heart form. I'm in love with it and I want to wear it every day. It conveys my love for the country I was born and raised in a super stylish way.


The house is found just outside a picturesque village very close to Lucca. This leaves the atmosphere from a genuine Tuscan village, but still being close to such a lively place as Lucca. The surroundings are the typical Tuscan ones; olive groves, a medieval church on a hill top and vines.
Entering the house from the secondary entrance, there is a small laundry room and the bathroom with shower. Then comes the eat in kitchen with a an arch that opens up to an extra space for storing. The kitchen is characterised by a pizza oven inside one of the walls which is a fantastic feature for making bread, pizza or even giant tortelli like one of the local restaurants do.
The main entrance is in front of the stairs and on the right one finds the first bedroom. Up the stairs halfway there is another stair that takes to the first sitting room of the house which has high ceilings.
up the main stairs again one finds a going through living room with a wooden stove, a small corridor and then a small toilet and a minor bedroom.
On the other side of the stairs there's another good double bedroom. Both the double bedrooms and the living room have the views over the village and the mountains.
Outside there's a patio with pergola and cotto tiles and lots of space for al fresco dining.
There is a massive cantina underneath for storing skis, bikes and whatever else.
But if one wants to eat out, there's a very good restaurant with home made tortelli and all the typical Lucchese food, within walking distance from the house!
This is a ready to move into house. The only thing that needs done is the central heating. But it's ready to enjoy our fantastic summers and this fairytale- like landscape.

Q: How to calculate running balance using PostgreSQL window functions? I want a query to track interest on a mortgage account. For simplicity assume the interest is calculated yearly. There are also one-off deposits/withdrawals (repayments etc).
I want to query this information and calculate a running balance, presumably using window functions. Here is an example of the kind of table I want to query.
year | changes | interest | comment
2020 | 10000   | 2.5      | initial mortgage of 10k
2021 | 0       | 2.0      | next year the rate drops
2022 | 5000    | 2.0      | we borrow an extra 5k
2023 | 0.      | 1.5      | rate drop again

I want a query that calculates the running balance each year, like so:
year | changes | interest | balance
2020 | 10000   | 2.5      | 10250.0 = 10000 * (1 + 2.5 / 100)
2021 | 0       | 2.0      | 10455.0 = 10250 * (1 + 2.0 / 100)
2022 | 5000    | 2.0      | 15764.1 = (10455 + 5000) * (1 + 2.0 / 100)
2023 | 0.      | 1.5      | 16000.56 = 15764.1 * (1 + 1.5 / 100)

How to do this in PostgreSQL?

A: Because of the need to multiply the prior year balance by the current interest, this is most easily achieved using a recursive CTE:
WITH RECURSIVE CTE AS (
  SELECT t.year, t.changes, t.interest, t.changes * (1.0 + t.interest / 100.0) AS balance
  FROM transactions t
  WHERE year = (SELECT MIN(year) FROM transactions)
  UNION ALL
  SELECT t.year, t.changes, t.interest, (t.changes + CTE.balance) * (1.0 + t.interest / 100.0)
  FROM transactions t
  JOIN CTE ON t.year = CTE.year + 1
)
SELECT year, changes, interest, ROUND(CAST(balance AS numeric), 2) AS balance
FROM CTE

Output:
year    changes     interest    balance
2020    10000       2.5         10250.00
2021    0           2           10455.00
2022    5000        2           15764.10
2023    0           1.5         16000.56

Demo on dbfiddle

A: The recursive CTE is quite possibly the better approach.  But it is possible to do this using window functions.
The three key ideas are:

*

*Using exp(sum(ln())) as the product() aggregation function.

*Projecting each value to the latest time, accumulating all interest functions.

*Dividing by the "accumulated interest" up to that value to adjust for new values entering in.

The actual code is not that complicated:
select t.*,
        (sum(changes * running_interest) over (order by year) /
         coalesce(prev_running_interest, 1)
        ) as val
from (select t.*,
             exp(sum(ln(1 + interest / 100)) over (order by year desc)) as running_interest,
             exp(sum(ln(1 + interest / 100)) over (order by year desc rows between unbounded preceding and 1 preceding)) as prev_running_interest
      from t
     ) t
order by year;

You will notice in the db<>fiddle the slight inaccuracies caused by floating point arithmetic.  You can always cast to fewer decimal places for more aesthetically appealing numbers.

by Alan Jacobson
Pocket Books, February, 2001.
Psychologist Lauren Chambers has worked hard to overcome her debilitating agoraphobia and panic attacks, and has built up a practice in quiet Placerville, California. But her carefully constructed life shatters apart when her beloved husband, Michael, disappears on a skiing trip with friends. Lauren meets private investigator Nick Bradley, and the two set off on a cross-country quest to find Michael. But the more they dig into Michael's past, the stranger things get. What's worse, a professional assassin is stalking Lauren in order to get to Michael, who he believes is the ex-FBI agent who sent him to prison years ago.
Alan Jacobson, author of the bestselling False Accusations, spins a complex tale full of heart-pounding action sequences, plot twists and fascinating characters. Lauren Chambers, the psychologist who herself suffers from terrible panic attacks due to a childhood trauma, is a unique heroine for a thriller. She's smart and courageous, but she has these debilitating attacks which she must overcome. It's an interesting choice of characteristics for a heroine in a thriller, and Jacobson uses it to full effect. Is Lauren really being followed, or is she just being paranoid? And how well do you really know the people in your life? The tension builds until an exciting (and surprising) denouement. If you like thrills, psychological suspense and complex characters, this should definitely make your summer reading list.

As an MA TESOL student, you have the unique opportunity to hone your teaching skills in The New School's long-standing Outreach Program. Taking place during the Summer Intensive, the Outreach Program allows you to gain valuable classroom teaching experience while addressing the dire need for free English language classes for immigrants in New York City.
Gaining hands-on experience enables you to apply what you are learning in the MA TESOL classroom, experiment with new ideas and teaching techniques, and be observed by your professors. You also get the chance to witness first-hand how learning English can empower and assist underserved communities. This teacher training experience ensures that you fully develop as a teacher and gain the necessary skills to ensure that you keep developing and experimenting after graduation.
Teaching non-English-speaking adults to become proficient in English enables them to enhance their opportunities for employment, become self-sufficient, self-confident, and achieve success.
It is the mission of the Outreach Program to remove the language barrier, which hampers progress. For adults who are also parents, difficulties in using English can also take a toll on their confidence and self-esteem. They feel disenfranchised once their children's English skills surpass their own. This can cause not only conflict within the family but also reliance on children to serve as interpreters and even act as advocates for their parents.
Since its founding in 2007, The New School's Outreach Program has grown into a respected community-engaged organization, offering classes year-round throughout New York City.
Many new immigrants do not have the financial means to pay for language classes. The teachers in our Outreach language classes are New School MA TESOL teachers-in-training, program alumni, New School faculty, and volunteers.
By giving to the Outreach Program, you're helping us
Provide free English language classes to underserved communities at The New School and in community partner sites
Provide the English language learners with books and learning materials
Establish a robust staffing structure to ensure program growth through identifying and developing new partnerships with community organizations in need
Develop effective promotional materials to ensure that our free classes reach those who need them and to help us recruit more volunteer teachers
If you are interested in finding out more about the program, please email Roshii Jolly, Outreach Coordinator, at jollyr@newschool.edu.

It's a little-known secret, and you can definitely do it at home.
You know how every time you walk into Anthropologie it smells really damn amazing? Like, so good that you never want to leave? What if I told you your house can smell exactly like that? It's true! Despite what you might think, that special aroma isn't there by magic. And it's not some secret Febreze scent made exclusively for Anthro stores, either. It's the candles.
I know what you're thinking: "This is fake news, everyone knows Anthro sells amazing candles that smell like heaven in a jar." I get it, that part is pretty obvious. But there's something you don't know: The key to creating that enchanting scent isn't buying one candle at Anthropologie and lighting it in your house. It's buying a selection of them and lighting a different one in every room. You get a new wave of fragrance as you walk around the house, so your nose never gets used to the smell and ignores it.
Yup, that's it! That's the stupid-easy secret. I know this because I worked at Anthropologie in college, and on morning shifts when we opened the store, we lit one candle in every room. The result was a blend that wraps you up like a warm hug from Taylor Swift. So, which candles do you need to grab for your home? Allow me.
First things first, you must get a Capri Blue candle. This is one of Anthropologie's bestsellers. You can't go wrong with any of the scents, but Aloha Orchid is a personal fave.
When candles are burning at the shop, there will most definitely be a Voluspa lit at all times. Again, you can go with whichever scent you like best, but from my Anthro days, I have to recommend Baltic Amber, Mokara, Goji Tarocco Orange, and Santiago Huckleberry.
Guess what? One Voluspa simply isn't enough. That's fine though, because I can guarantee you'll have trouble choosing between two scents anyway. This three wick tin version is a must-have.
WARNING: If you put this candle in your kitchen, you'll be hungry all the time. Actually, if you put it anywhere in your house this will happen. But it's worth it. Every Boulangerie scent smells like dessert, and Angel Food is one of the best. This is the one Anthropologie candle I always gift, especially in the Whipped Cream & Pear scent.
Okay, I saved the best for last. Remember how one Voluspa wasn't enough? Neither is one Capri Blue candle. You might love Red Volcano and Aloha Orchid, but whatever you do, don't sleep on Blue Volcano. This candle is an Anthropologie staple. And while you can get it in the regular blue jar, this silver iridescent jar is really pretty and will get all the compliments.


It's difficult to determine the total profit but it's obvious that you require a mixture of both these to maximise sales. What about people who bought through the advert then recommended to others?
One good marketing strategy is to link with another company/product in your market or customer base and advertise together. For example for every game sold you send a confirmation email with a link to the other game, would this work for Positech games?
How much sales do you think are derived from this blog?

Andhra CM, four others dead: PMO
Thursday, September 03, 2009 11:31:00 AM, ANI
New Delhi: The Prime Minister Office has confirmed the death of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajshekhera Reddy and four others after their Bell 430 chopper crash-landed about 40 nautical miles east of the Kurnool mountainous area.
The body of Reddy's principal secretary has also been recovered.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi is scheduled to leave for Hyderabad shortly.
The reports of five bodies being discovered at the crash site as been received, and an official confirmation would be forthcoming in short while. Among the dead are Reddy, his principal secretary, his personal security officer and two pilots.
Earlier, Union Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said the chopper was in a very damaged state. He had said that the missing Bell chopper carrying Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajshekhera Reddy and four others had crash-landed about 40 nautical miles east of the Kurnool mountaineous area.
Pillai said that as of now he could not hazard a guess about whether there were any survivors or whether the chief minister and the people accompanying him were injured or had moved to another location.
He confirmed that the chopper was in a very damaged state.
The Home Ministry has ordered para-commandos to immediately airdrop themselves at the location to determine the exact physical status of Reddy and the four others. The para-commandos have landed.
The para-commandos have been told to report back immediately on the situation on ground.
"We have located the helicopter. It is on top of a hill at a distance of 40 nautical miles east of Kurnool. We are trying to find out whether there were any survivors. We are not sure whether the chopper crashed. Two Air Force helicopters are orbiting there trying to find a place to land, but because the chopper is on top of a hill, it's a jungle it has been very difficult to land," said an Army spokesperson adding that further details were awaited from the site.
The chopper is said to be located between Rudrakonta and Rollapenta near Kurnool town. Commandos, police and paratroopers are moving towards the area.
Meanwhile, the core committee of the Congress party is meeting in New Delhi to assess the latest developments. The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, will convene a meeting of the Union Cabinet after the Congress meeting to decide on the next steps in the operation.
Earlier reports said The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) would conduct two fly-bys at 9.30 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. respectively with the help of CARTOSAT One and Two as part of their intensified search operations for missing Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajashekhara Reddy on Thursday.
State Government sources said that they have narrowed down the search to a five-square kilometer radius in the Nallamala Forest Range where they believe the seven-seat Bell helicopter carrying the chief minister may have gone down on Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 9.30 a.m.
Notwithstanding a heavy cloud cover, a three-pronged search operation has been launched. Four helicopters have taken off for the search. At least 700 villagers, bow and arrow wielding Chenchu tribals who are familiar with the terrain and former Naxals have reportedly joined in the search operations.
The State Government has refused to make any comment on the latest developments in view of the fact that there are conflicting reports with regard to the copter's whereabouts. There is a lot of cross-checking being done to come up with verifiable facts.
Reddy's chopper went missing while he was on his way from Kurnool to Chittoor. He was accompanied by his Principal Secretary S Subramanyam and Chief Security Officer A S C Wesley. There were two pilots also on board the twin-engined Bell 430 helicopter that lost contact with Air Traffic Control at the Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad when it was headed for Chittoor district, about 600 kilometres from Hyderabad.
ISRO chief G. Madhavan Nair and his team are monitoring a low flying remote sensing plane. Satellite images are being used to try and trace the place. So far, 41 images have been taken but none of them have revealed any information about the chief minister's whereabouts.
As of now the Indian Government has said that it has not requested the United States for help in the matter, but has confirmed that the unmanned vehicle that is presently deployed in the north eastern part of the country is being kept on standby.
The Army, Indian Air Force (IAF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, Andhra Police Greyhound commandos along with local police and district officials has entered the Nallamalla Forests to launch the massive search and rescue operation for Reddy. About 250 Army personnel with night vision devices have joined the search operations.
"We have deployed two columns and one Ghatak (jungle warfare specialist) platoon in the area for searching the Chief Minister. Our troops are equipped with night vision devices such as goggles and hand held thermal imagers," Army officials said.
Congress president Sonia Gandhi is expected to arrive in Hyderabad shortly to be with Reddy's anguished family members and to get a hand on assessment of the search operation. She has already sent Union Law Minister and Congress general secretary in charge of Andhra Pradesh affairs Veerappa Moily and Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Prithviraj Chauhan to the city to monitor developments. Chauhan told press persons that the State and Central Governments are sparing no efforts to search for the chief minister.
Meanwhile, National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan has said that while both the state and central governments are extremely concerned and worried about the missing chief minister, all available resources are being deployed for the search.
He said Army and Air Force helicopters have been conducting a search of the region. He also confirmed that two fixed-wing Sukhoi 30 aircraft with synthetic aperture radar capabilities have been pressed into service.
Forces on the ground are also on the lookout for the missing helicopter and its individuals.
Narayanan said that the lack of communication is a major problem and also ruled out the probability of a Naxal strike.
"I don't think the Naxals have the capability to bring down a helicopter," he said.
"There is no question about calling off the search till we discover what happened there. We are hopeful we will find the Chief Minister, his chief secretary and PSO without serious injuries," he added. (ANI)

Meet Claire! Claire is a third-year university student but first-year Human Kinetics student and Okanagan College Coyote. Born in Nelson, BC, Claire is excited to get started in the Okanagan with the team and college. Growing up deep in the mountains, and naturally athletic, Claire took to cross country running, track and field, skating and skiing from a young age. Claire started basketball in grade 9, later than most but being the multisport athlete, picked it up quickly and started to excel. Basketball became "her sport" closer to grade 11 as her dedication and willingness to go the extra mile on the court started to raise her above the pack, especially in the Kootenay region. Living in a smaller center gave her a unique opportunity to develop her game as the boys club teams were the only option for someone of her determination level. It was actually these Kootenay connections that drew Claire to Okanagan College in the first place!
Moving from Nelson to Kelowna is no easy move, but Claire's brother and biggest influence will always be in her corner, pushing her to her high potential. Despite being four years apart, Claire and her brother are very close after she spent a year back home rehabbing after blowing her knee out playing basketball at Camosun College in Victoria. Two knee surgeries over 8 months knocked Claire out of sports for a year which took her back home allowed her to reconnect with her friends and family. During this time she felt very lost because sport and physical activity had been a huge part of her identity and life. Her brother's struggle helped inspire her through the difficult rehab process after multiple health care professionals told her playing again would never be an option. Having contracted and losing his leg below the knee to a flesh-eating disease, her brother hasn't let it take his humor despite the circumstance. This resilience has stuck with Claire as she now embarks on her post-secondary career with the Coyotes. It's no easy feat for someone coming back from multiple knee surgeries to join a highly talented program after taking a year off but with the lessons Claire has learned, don't be surprised to see her making an impact early!
Claire's brother's influence doesn't end at her mindset going into the season, it may even guide her future career. Claire hopes her Human Kinetics degree with lead to a career in Athletic Prosthetics because of her brother's amputation. Claire hope to continue pushing her basketball and academic career forward as the semester gets started and the PacWest season gets underway! Claire and the Coyotes start the PacWest season November 2nd on the road against Camosun College!

Secretary of State > News > October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month
By David Tackett
WV Secretary of State's Office
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time when government, industry and academia, among others, highlight best practices and resources for "keeping Americans safe and secure online." As phone and email scams become more of an everyday occurrence, and identity theft only seems to be on the rise, it is imperative that we take proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity at home as well as in the workplace.
This year's theme is "Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT." It serves to remind us that we as individuals play an important part in online safety and protecting our digital identities. By following these directives, you can protect yourself from becoming the next victim.
First, consider your digital profile. With constant connection via our cell phones, computers and more, this growing array of internet-based devices present opportunities for cyber threats which can compromise your most important information, including your address, phone number, bank account numbers and more.
Ensuring you have a secure password is only the first step. If multi-factor authentication (MFA), is available for your email, banking, social media or other sensitive services that requires a login, enable and utilize it to ensure extra security.
As cell phones become more sophisticated with each upgrade, now is a good time to explore your privacy settings on each device. Be aware that your phone could be running suspicious applications in the background or using default permissions which you might not have realized you approved. These apps have the ability to gather your personal information, putting your identity and privacy at risk.
Understanding and maintaining your device is also a key to staying safe. "If you connect, you must protect." Keeping your devices and programs up to date will ensure you're defended against the latest threats. Before connecting to any public wireless hotspot, confirm that the network is legitimate with appropriate safeguards, and resist the urge to connect external hard drives or removable USB drives unless you have software that scans for viruses and malware.
Our devices are now key to everyday communication, but ensure you only engage with sources you trust. Be wary of emails or phone calls which require you to "act immediately," and of clicking on links that could compromise your account or device. Hover over links to verify authenticity and ensure that URLs begin with "https." The "s" indicates encryption is enabled to protect users' information.
Recently, I was asked "When it comes to cybersecurity, what is the most important resource you have in the West Virginia Secretary of State's Office?" Without hesitation, I responded, "Our People."
Secretary of State Mac Warner often reiterates another message related to this month's theme - "Protect. Detect. Correct." "Protect" the assets and services for which we are responsible. "Detect" any potential threats to or attacks against those assets and services. And be prepared to "Correct" any disruptions to those assets or in those services as a result of an attack.
The WV Secretary of State's Office now leads the nation in election cybersecurity. We work closely with all 55 County Clerks, our legislature and State and Federal partners to develop best practices in training, technology and safeguards to protect our election systems and databases.
While security around elections continues to remain at the forefront, the Secretary of State's Office is responsible for safeguarding the data, systems and processes in a myriad of business, government and public services. Of course, technology assists in the effort to protect these resources, but even as software and hardware become more sophisticated, automated and intelligent, they still require people to design, build and run them. Perhaps, more importantly, humans are also needed to improve them.
Remember, your data is important at home and at work, so be sure to Own IT, Secure IT and Protect IT.

Writing Oneself with the Gaze: Ante Babaja's Dobro jutro
Diana Nenadić May 2014 KINO! 22
Starting with her personal relation to Babaja as the director of the intimist documentary film Dobro jutro (2007), the author explains the role that the filmmaker's first and at the same time last autobiographical film plays in his entire oeuvre or the way that Babaja's previous preoccupations (for example, with the consumable body or, in the words of Ante Peterlić, "with the accidentalness of appearance and disappearance") are synthesised precisely in this special creation. Dobro jutro uses excerpts from the director's earlier works to define the position of its hero, Babaja himself, whose younger co-workers teach him to use an electronic camera, which is why the author deals with Babaja's earlier works and explains how they treat one's relation to death and Babaja's other topics. But, as the text highlights, this director is a master of film form who strongly involves the viewer into his intellectual (but not also emotional!) intimacy which is why we can understand Babaja's films as one comprehensive essay on life and death that began a long time ago and was recently powerfully completed.
The integral version of this article can be found in the printed KINO!

A Type of Elegance
In the 1920s and 1930s: A Recent Acquisition
Christopher Stromee
Edward Steichen, " Paul Robeson (as Brutus Jones in The Emperor Jones, for Vanity Fair)" 1933
Working in the prevailing painterly and atmospheric pictorialist style, Edward Steichen made his debut as a photographer in the 1890s; by the late teens he began using modernist approaches to light and shadow in a more abstract manner; and by 1923 he was chief photographer for Conde Nast where he created his famous celebrity and society photographs.
The Whitney show, Edward Steichen in the 1920s and 1930s, is comprised of 46 gelatin silver prints, mostly portraits from Vogue and Vanity Fair, along with commercial fashion for advertising campaigns.
Definitive images of Winston Churchill, Paul Robeson, Marlene Dietrich, Eugene O'Neill, Harold Nicholson and Vita Sackville-West, and Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney create a gallery of luminaries from the period between the wars. For many, these images may attract the most attention since, in addition to the modernist compositional aesthetic, they provide a glimpse of his famous subjects' personalities.
Positioning and setting are especially significant for these subjects. Mrs. James H. Van Allan, 1929, presents the proud and stylish equestrian standing against her horse. The image is cropped just above the horse's head while below there is an area of open lawn. With the subject's dark riding coat and hat, the upper two-thirds of the photo is dense and darkened. The viewer is left with the impression that the rider is protected by the horse, or by the implied social status, as much as commanding it.
Edward Steichen, "Marlene Dietrich" 1931
In Marlene Dietrich, 1931, the actress is shown leaning into the center, her hands grasping an unfurled umbrella with an index finger pointing to the upper edge of the photo. She stares with intensity at the camera and her head is tilted slightly forward so that the forehead is prominent. As in a number of Steichen portraits, the darkened area below seems to anchor the open lighter area at eye level and above. With her dynamic stance, ready to unfurl, Dietrich looks determined to capitalize on her recent success.
Edward Steichen, " Foxgloves, France" 1925
An Apple, a Boulder, a Mountain, France, c. 1921, is one of the few photographs in the show that make an object the subject of an abstract composition. An apple sits on a flat surface adjacent to the convex edge of another object and is photographed from above. The lighting emphasizes its textured volume, its brightened curvature surrounded by a dark penumbra.
Edward Steichen, " Advertisement for Coty Lipstick" 1935
In Advertisement for Coty Lipstick, c. 1935, several compositional devices enhance the glamour and sex appeal. A man and a woman look at each other across a faceted-mirrored stand, their hands linked and their faces reflected in the mirrors. The woman is posed against soft light diagonally separated from a triangle of shadow behind the man. A gleaming vase with a drooping spray of flowers reinforces the sensuality of this scene. Included as well are several nature images that employ the same formal methods.
One the most influential American photographers of the first half of the twentieth century, Steichen ended his career as Director of the Department of Photography at MoMA where he curated over 40 exhibitions, including the famous Family of Man (1955).

Wanneroo Raceway's 50th a great success
Posted on March 4, 2019 Tags: WA Sporting Car Club Tony Ricciardello Wanneroo Raceway
It was back to the future at Barbagallo Raceway March 2/3 as fans braved the heat to celebrate the Jubilee of Western Australia's premier motor racing circuit.
Following a moderate WA summer, the early Autumn weather paid homage to the Competitors, their Crews, the Officials, and the crowds of families who flocked to Wanneroo for the festival of motorsport, hosted by the WA Sporting Car Club. The commentary was first rate. The bus rides around the circuit were hugely popular and a stroke of genius. The massive display of racing cars through the ages was seriously impressive. And simply wondrous.
It was the debut for the 2.4km track, resurfaced after 17 years, and the slick face of the new asphalt was quickly demonstrated, to the surprise a some of the newer drivers.
But the highlight for me was the chance to once again see the '84 Chevy Alfetta GTV and its master, 10-time Australian Sports Sedan Champion Tony Ricciardello, in action It was something to behold. Unfortunately, the extreme heat caused Tony to withdraw mid race on Sunday, but not before the beast had claimed a new track record – an incredible 53.1secs!
Images: Grant Lauterbach
Here's an excerpt from my column in The West Australian in September, 2014:
"ONE of the most recognisable racing cars around the country is Tony Ricciardello's bright red rocket Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV, capable of a scary 325km/h.
"It was quite a spectacle in my early days at Barbagallo Raceway to watch Ricciardello, pushed to the back of a reverse grid race in the popular NightMasters, weave his way through the tightly-packed field with fierce speed and extraordinary dexterity.
"The knowledge that the growling #5 B&M Ricciardello Chevy V8-powered Alfa was racing certainly dragged the fans through the gates and it was quite a buzz to see the youngster – a champion even then – at work in the cockpit. Could he power his demonic space frame constructed beast to the front before Turn 1?
" Invariably he achieved that feat, and it never took him more than a lap to take back control of the three-race event, run at the start and the finish of each WA season."
The weekend festival of motorsport certainly rekindled memories of those heady days.
I do believe many of those who attended this past weekend, particular the loads of youngsters I saw thoroughly enjoying themselves in the bright sunshine, will continue to return to Barbagallo to follow what are always hard fought and often spectacular battles by exceptionally talented and dedicated racers.
My sincere thanks to all those motorsport clubs who foster the drivers and crews, and to WASCC president Russell Sewell, general manager Andrew Stachewicz and their teams. I do hope it's the beginning of a safe and wonderful season and a bright future for a sport that requires far more participation than most.
And don't forget the Virgin Australia Supercars under lights at Barbagallo Raceway, Friday and Saturday nights May 2/4. Let's see if those pilots Supercars can beat Tony Ricciardello's record!

RICHMOND — A man has been charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with a double shooting that killed a 21-year-old.
In addition, Martin Margarito Jr. has been charged with enhancements for personal use of a firearm. He is also accused of using a stolen gun in the Feb. 2 shooting.
The victim, Frankie Martinez, was shot near the corner of Second Street and Ohio Avenue shortly before noon on Feb. 2, according to police. Another man was shot during the incident but survived.
After the shooting, Margarito fled to a nearby warehouse where he barricaded himself. Richmond police eventually convinced him to surrender peacefully.
Little more than a month before the shooting, in late December, Margarito was arrested in Novato after he allegedly kicked a police officer who was attempting to arrest him on suspicion of driving drunk.
The Marin County District Attorney charged him with battery on a peace officer, reckless driving, possessing ecstasy and marijuana, destruction of evidence, and resisting arrest, according to media reports. Margarito also had an unrelated DUI case pending in Marin County.
He was released within days of that arrest after posting bail, records show.
Margarito remains in custody on $3.5 million bail. He is expected to enter a plea Tuesday in Richmond's George D. Carroll courthouse.


This is not the very first time we've managed to catch a screening prototype of BMW's smallest obtainable SUV, but this distinct product hosts a particular treatment method. Additionally, we have some more facts regarding the auto. In distinction to the mid-dimension X5 that did not get the Everyday living Cycle Impulse, the X1 will undergo the treatment. Far more specifically, in addition to mid-cycle refresh, the German automaker is also heading to introduce the 2020 BMW X1 xDrive 25e iPerformance model.
This individual edition of the crossover is going to use a hybrid powertrain. The process is not entirely new as it is accessible in China and Europe already. There is the 225xe Lively Tourer from the Previous Continent and the X1 xDrive 25Le from the most populous place in the world, and both of them are making use of the powertrain that combines the 1.5-liter turbo 3-cylinder motor (B38) with an electric motor that draws ability from a 10.7-kWh battery. Jointly, the system ought to give an output of 220 horsepower and 283 pound-feet of torque, which is going to be plenty of for a -100 km/h dash at about 7.4 seconds. The small SUV will also have an EV product that's constrained to 120 km/h and an electric powered range of 60 kilometers. When the method uses each the electrical motor and the interior combustion motor, the 2020 BMW X1 xDrive 25e iPerformance is going to use 1.8 liters for every 100 kilometers.
The facelifted BMW X1 will insert a single a lot more all-new choice below the hood. As we have observed out, the crossover will get the B48 from the X2 M35i as well. The unit is likely to generate 302 horsepower and 332 pound-toes of grunt, though the X1 M35i need to also get a precise M procedure that involves M Sport Suspension, M Sport Differential, and M Sport braking system with blue-painted calipers, as well as a bit sharper steering.
The 2020 BMW X1 will receive a mid-cycle refresh, as well. The prototype demonstrates revised lights and bumpers, while we also hope an current infotainment system with more substantial show, as effectively as additional angular gearshift layout which will most probably be stolen from the X2.
BMW has not claimed when and exactly where the up to date X1 is going to be introduced, but we are betting on the 2019 Geneva Motor Present.


What does underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage do?
Underinsured motorist bodily injury insurance (UNDUM) covers you, the insured members of your household (resident relatives) and your passengers in your insured car for bodily/personal injuries, damages, or death caused by an at-fault driver with insufficient insurance (is underinsured). It also covers you and others listed on your insurance policy when riding in other cars.
Underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage varies according to the terms of your policy and state laws, but in general it pays the difference between what's covered by the other driver's insurance coverages, which can't meet the amount of your damages, and the bodily injury limits listed on your policy.
Policy limits for underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage are per person and per accident and coverage is written as such. For example $25,000/$50,000 means that the maximum payout per person is $25,000 and the maximum payout for all people injured in one accident is $50,000. This coverage may also be simply written as 25/50.
If the UNDUM limits you purchase are lower than an accident's costs, you'll be responsible for paying the amounts over your limits, unless you're covered by health insurance that will cover these medical expenses.
Underinsured motorist may be sold in combination with uninsured motorist coverage or sold separately depending upon the state and insurance carrier.
Is underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage mandatory?
Depending upon where you live, underinsured motorist bodily injury may be mandatory. When underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage it is required, it may be bundled together with uninsured motorist coverage and referred to uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
The insurance industry recommends underinsured motorist bodily injury liability coverage of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident (referred to as 100/300), if you can afford these higher limits.
What happens if I don't have underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage?
If this coverage is optional in your state and you choose to go without, then you may be left to pay personally for medical expenses arising from accident caused by an underinsured motorist, unless the at-fault driver has the money to pay for your medical expenses that exceeded their bodily injury liability limits.
If you have adequate health insurance, then underinsured motorist bodily injury may be unnecessary.
