In conversation with Daniela Lamas
The Beauty in Breaking
(Riverhead, $27)
Tuesday, August 4, 7 pm
LIVE via Crowdcast
An emergency room physician explores how a life of service to others taught her how to heal herself.
Michele Harper is a female, African American emergency room physician in a profession that is overwhelmingly male and white. Brought up in Washington, D.C., in a complicated family, she went to Harvard, where she met her husband. They stayed together through medical school until two months before she was scheduled to join the staff of a hospital in central Philadelphia, when he told her he couldn't move with her. Her marriage at an end, Harper began her new life in a new city, in a new job, as a newly single woman.
In the ensuing years, as Harper learned to become an effective ER physician, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter, she came to understand that each of us is broken–physically, emotionally, psychically. How we recognize those breaks, how we try to mend them, and where we go from there are all crucial parts of the healing process.
The Beauty in Breaking is the poignant true story of Harper's journey toward self-healing. Each of the patients Harper writes about taught her something important about recuperation and recovery. How to let go of fear even when the future is murky. How to tell the truth when it's simpler to overlook it. How to understand that compassion isn't the same as justice. As she shines a light on the systemic disenfranchisement of the patients she treats as they struggle to maintain their health and dignity, Harper comes to understand the importance of allowing ourselves to make peace with the past as we draw support from the present. In this hopeful, moving, and beautiful book, she passes along the precious, necessary lessons that she has learned as a daughter, a woman, and a physician.

I am looking for information on my great grandfather William Burrs. Records indicate his birthplace was in Gravenhurst 1878 and that he was adopted by a William Ellis, who owned land in the area. He married my great grandmother Minnie Kate Parker and they had two daughters, Beatrice Victoria and Idella Grace. I did obtain a rcord of their marriage and it was transcribed as William Burns instead of Burrs. Truly appreciate any leads. Also know he died in 1911 in MacGregor, Manitoba.
Looking for burial location for Kirby Austin b. 28 Aug 1924 d. 12 Jun 2008. Marjorie Irene (Brook) Austin b. 30 Dec 1929 d. 21 Dec 2000. Both lived & died in Huntsville ON. Kirby from Novar ON and Marjorie from Etwell ON. I have checked with Huntsville cemeteries and they tell me they have no record of them there. I have information for all Austins in Perry Twp, which includes Novar, and they are not there. I checked for Etwell Twp and it appears there is only a very small cemetery there, probably no longer active. Their children were baptised in St. Andrews/Novar United Church. Marjorie's parents who lived in Etwell for a very long time are buried in Hutcheson Memorial Cemty in Huntsville. Kirby's parents are buried in St. Andrews/Novar United Church Cemty. I have their obituaries but neither says where they were being interred. Anyone know anything about this?
I am trying to find out more about my grandmother Beverly. She was adopted and so researching her family history has been a hassle. I assume because adoption papers are protected of course. Her and my Grandpa Ray had three children together (Luke, Joe and Rebecca). My Grandparents separated sometime between 1962-1967. I am trying to find either a wedding certificate or divorce certificate for them. I have an ancestrydna account and I've been able to trace the Pascall side of the family back to my 7 times Great Grandparents. They're from England and Ireland. However, I can't seem to do any more research on my Grandma Beverly's side because I do not know her biological parents last name.
Looking for burial location and/or obituaries for sisters Violet Hayward and Pearl Bellaire of Parry Sound. Both died before 2000. Maiden name was Cousins.
Hi! Looking for any information on George John Elliott(b 1819) married Irene Archibald in 1857 and moved to Huntsville Muskoka shortly after and lived there all their lives. I am at a dead end in trying to find his parents or siblings. I have alot of information on Irene. He died in 1892 and his buried at Madill Cemetery with some of his family. I know he built McGrandle's hotel the first frame building there. ANY information would be so much appreciated! Thank you! He is my 2nd great grandfather!
Does a transcription exist for Lakeview Cemetery in Gravenhurst? If so, could somebody possibly do a look-up for me, for George Russell, b. 1830, d. Jan 25, 1923, husband of Eliza Reid. Thanks!
James Noble Kennedy was accidentally drowned with three other men on 30 June 1899 at Parry Sound, leaving a widow Charlotte (nee Chester), a 2-year-old son, and it is believed one other child. What was the cause of the accident, and is it known what happened to his widow and small children? His son Harvey James Kennedy was my mother's first husband., and father of my half-brother Ronald and half-sister Thelma (both now deceased).
Do you know if the publication "The People of South Himsworth" is still available? Is there a phone number that I could call to order same? Any help would be appreciated.
I am hoping to receive information regarding a 'James Wilson . Beleque' family. The family built a church somewhere in the Parry Sound area. Apparently the church is still standing and if anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm hoping to get in touch with any remaining family members (siblings, nieces/nephews) of Robert George Smith, b 15 June 1924 and d 23 November 1943. Robert was a guardsman with the Canadian Grenadier Guards, and died in an accident while serving overseas. From the page on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial (http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/memorials/canadian-virtual-war-memorial/detail/2928986?Robert%20George%20Smith), I know that Robert's parents were James Le Roy Smith (Roy) and Pearl Martha Pelina Smith. He had a brother named Bill, and three sisters named Alice, Ellen and Florence. Florence has a son named Bob.
I have information I believe may be of interest to the family, and would greatly appreciate any help that could be given in putting me in touch with them.
I am looking for a Florence "Carol" Smith-White , last known to be living in Orrville/Parry Sound, ON. Carol is a distant cousin of mine and I have lost touch with her. She was married to the late James Kenneth White (d. 2015) and has three sons (Rob, Ian and Vance) I believe that she may be on your Board in some capacity or be a member.. I would like to reconnect with he if possible as she appears to have moved from the last address that I have. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide!
I am a descendant of Jacob William Dill, he is my four times great grandfather. I am trying to find out who his parents were and ideally find out when the family came to Canada and from where. If anyone could help me with where to find birth records, that would be greatly appreciated.
I'm researching my grandmother's family, last name Duval from the Bracebridge area. Her name was Mary Selina Duval and her parents were Onesime "John" Duval and Mary Flavie Duval nee Rouille. They were from Quebec, and were Roman Catholic attending St. Joseph Church in Bracebridge.
I've found them on the 1881 census for Bracebridge, but their last name was entered incorrectly as "Gervan". I found them by going through the census page by page. They were listed as Onesime, Mary, Joseph, Napoleon, M.C.Gervan.
The 1891 census seems to have different districts than the 1881. Could you please help me find them on the 1891 census as well as anything about the family. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide me with.
Would some kind soul look up an obit for me in either Huntsville Forester or Parry Sound Northstar. I live in Australia.
Buried Humphrey Tsp Foley Memorial Cemetery.
I am researching the history of the Taplin family, starting with Albert Taplin, b. Draper in 1917, still living in Draper in the 1921 census. He joined the Canadian army that fought in Korea in the 1950's, married a Canadian girl called Helen Park in Vancouver, where they had three children.
My wife is a descendant of one of the Lamore families from Byng Inlet. What I'm particularly interested in is the part about "Three Rivers" in Quebec. I've noticed mention of this on many Byng Inlet records. Do you know where it is in reference to? It does not seem to be the first logical conclusion which one would make which would be Trois-Rivières Quebec. Would you have any hints about where "Three Rivers" actually could be?
I am looking for information re a burial in Torrance cemetery in Sept. 1943. Donald McDonald was killed in a railway accident at Bala and as noted in the Gravenhurst paper "the funeral was held at Torrance ce metery". There is no marker or information in cemetery lists of this burial, and his two sons were serving overseas in 2nd world war so no personal information. His wife and children are now deceased and some burial is in Orillia. His wife and 2 sons are noted on that headstone (1 son was killed in France after D-day and buried in France.) His daughter married and had 1 son - who provided the marker in Orillia. He does not live locally so I am trying to find where his grandfather rests.
Perhaps you could provide me with the person's name in charge of this cemetery and he should have records of all burials in that cemetery.
Thank you for any information that you can give me - the web site does not provide any contact info.
I want to search historical copies of the Amalguin Newspaper that was produced in Burks Fall. Does anyone know where the microfiche might be located. I have placed telephone calls to the Library in Burks Falls, thinking it would logically be located there, however, the persons I spoke to didn't know and the person who may know never returned my telephone enquiries. I live in Wasaga Beach so can't just pop by and check in person. Thank you for your assistance.
Can you please tell me who Rankin Lake was named after? I know that a Charles Rankin surveyed a LOT of land in the area and further away ... however my ancestors, Matthew Rankin and his sons, James, William, Samuel, Henry, Frederick, etc. were involved in a LOT of what went on in the early stages of Foley's/Parry Sound/Barrie's settlement.
I am a volunteer with the Muskoka Steamship & Historical Society, and I have been writing a series of articles for the Society magazine on Railway History in Muskoka. I am interested in connecting with anyone who might have information, stories and/or photos related to this subject.


Absolutely not, my son uses it for networking for work, others use it for whatever the purpose, others for commercial purposes, but I have no desire to and will not use any social networking! I see how it has evolved as being used as a problematic platform for insidiousness, criminality and/or other nefarious activity and do not trust this site is a safe venue for anyone until it is better monitored.
I did get a Facebook account at one time because it was the only way I could get pictures of the grandkids when they were small. After that I made a conscious decision that I did not want my personal information on Facebook and I don't even browse it. I think it's grand if you can keep it in perspective, but most people I know are so connected to it or another social media forum that they have forgotten how to communicate face to face. Or feel they have license to say or do things on Facebook that they wouldn't do face to face. It requires a lot of self policing that some people seem to think isn't necessary. Or is courtesy just old fashioned and too time consuming now? That's a serious question and not sarcasm.
Goodness, that isnt stalking somebody. You were just curious, it isnt wrong to want to see what a cyber friend looks like, it is human.
@pamlou, I don't participate or 'Like' HSN'S Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages for this reason. I'd love to be friends and share more personal parts of life with a few in the community, but others scare me. By liking HSN on social media, it's easy to connect the dots and see personal information of some of the people who post here in the community. @lizzie818, posted a thread awhile back about Internet safety and googling some of the nicknames in the community. With what was found is the very reason why I don't participate on HSN'S social media. Too many wackos out there.
Wait, is there something unsafe about following or posting on HSN's Facebook, etc?
Me neither, mooncat… FB is evil!
"She's is so pretty". Awww. So sweet of you to say this about me. Oh wait—- you meant someone else. 😜I don't use my fb name anywhere but fb Not so much a stalker fear- but just too much info can be found out on the internet if same name is used everywhere.


Nicky Hunt has been discharged from hospital after suffering concussion in Accrington's 0-0 draw at Plymouth.
Hunt spent Saturday evening in hospital while precautionary tests were carried out and was allowed to return home to the north west on Sunday.
Speaking immediately after the game, Stanley manager Leam Richardson told BBC Radio Lancashire: "He suffered a severe concussion but he was in good hands.
"Our guys and the Plymouth guys looked after him really well. He'd been doing great for us before that - he's a great lad and a great character."

'You can and should do more' to include people with disabilities, wheelchair-bound Syrian advocate tells Security Council in searing speech
April 24, 2019 Village Reporter
The polite but passionate plea came from 20-year-old wheelchair-bound Syrian refugee, Nujeen Mustafa, who briefed members in a soft but commanding voice, on the acute vulnerabilities of people with disabilities in conflict, describing how once war began in her home city of Aleppo, she lived with the intense fear that she would be responsible for her own family dying in an airstrike.
"Every day, buildings in our neighbourhood were bombed, leaving people trapped beneath the ruins. Every day, I feared that I could be the reason my family was one or two seconds late. My brother called us the walking dead", she said to the hushed chamber.
You can and should do more, to ensure that people with disabilities, are included in all aspects of your work – Nujeen Mustafa to Security Council
Even fleeing the country, she had to be carried out of the country by her siblings, as she had no wheelchair at the time. "The structure of supports that people with disabilities rely on, is broken down during conflict, leaving us at higher risk of violence and with more difficulties in getting assistance – especially for women", said the cerebral palsy sufferer.
Praising Council members for giving her time to tell her story, she said she had three key insights to deliver. Firstly, the crisis in Syria has a "disproportionately high impact" on people like her. Secondly, she said that people with disabilities "like women and girls, seem to be an afterthought". Finally, she noted that people with disabilities should always be treated as "a resource, not a burden".
"Count us, because we count too", said Ms. Mustafa, urging better data collection on how they cope in conflict. "This should not be just another meeting where we make grand statements and then move on…You can and should do more, to ensure that people with disabilities, are included in all aspects of your work – we can't wait any longer", she Council members, with a clear, calm, but firm delivery.
'Litany of horrors' continues for Syrians, says UN deputy relief chief
Briefing members on the latest humanitarian situation across Syria, deputy UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Ursula Mueller, said that over eight years, civilians had endured a "litany of horrors" with those in the northeast and northwest, living in fear "of yet another humanitarian catastrophe unfolding". More than eight in 10 live below the poverty lin and nearly 12 million Syrians depend on assistance.
She said an escalation of fighting around Idleb, the last rebel redoubt, had left well over 200 civilians dead since February, including three children in a school just last Monday.
She described the overcrowded Al Hol camp for more than 73,000 – mostly displaced by ISIL terrorists' last stand in the north east – as being nearly two-thirds children under the age of 12. She said all children, including those of suspected terrorists, were 'entitled to special care and protection under international humanitarian law…They must be treated first and foremost, as victims."
Solutions for the 15 per cent of camp inhabitants who are foreign nationals "need to be urgently found" she said, calling on Governments to "take all measures necessary to ensure that their nationals are repatriated".
Ms. Mueller also described rising UN concerns for displaced civilians trying to escape the isolated Rukban camp on Syria's southern border with Jordan, many returning to Government held areas with concern over their fate.
"Colleagues in Damascus have reiterated the UN's willingness to be directly involved to ensure that core protection standards are met and movements conducted in a voluntary, safe, well-informed and dignified manner", she said.
Introducing Ms. Mustafa to the Council, the deputy relief chief said that persons with disabilities were "often excluded and highly vulnerable".
"We must do our utmost to support and protect persons with disabilities and to ensure that their specific and diverse needs are addressed". She said her own agency OCHA, had an important role, but every entity within the UN needed to make sure that persons with disabilities can "take an active part at every step of planning and decision-making processes."

Sarah Sanders Takes Media to the Mat over Leaked Classified Material: 'Look Around This Room'
By Joe Setyon February 13, 2018 at 6:42am
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took the news media to task Monday for frequently publishing classified information, which she said "put(s) national security at risk."
During Monday's news briefing, Sanders faced multiple questions about Rob Porter, the former White House staff secretary who resigned last week over allegations of domestic violence from two of his ex-wives. Porter has denied all of the accusations against him.
Until his resignation, Porter held an interim security clearance, causing some people to raise concerns over the White House's process for giving clearances.
"Can you guarantee that you are protecting classified information given that you have someone like Rob Porter who didn't have a permanent security clearance to access classified information?" a reporter asked Sanders on Monday.
In her response, Sanders turned the issue back on the media, noting that it's reporters who are often guilty of publishing classified information that's leaked from sources on Capitol Hill.
"I think we're doing and taking every step we can to protect classified information," she began. "I mean, frankly, if you guys have such concern with classified information, there's plenty of it that's leaked out of the Hill, that's leaked out of other communities well beyond the White House walls."
If reporters were really worried about this issue, she suggested that all they have to do is take a look around them.
"If you guys have real concerns about leaking out classified information, look around this room," she said. "You guys are the ones that publish classified information and put national security at risk."

"That doesn't come from this White House."
But Sanders wasn't done. When faced with a question over whether the White House is putting national security in jeopardy, she emphasize that the administration of President Donald Trump does everything it can to protect American citizens.
"We take every precaution possible to protect classified information and certainly to protect national security," she said. "It's the president's number-one priority, is protecting the citizens of this country. It's why we spend every single day doing everything we can to do that."
"And I think if anyone is publishing or putting out, publicly, classified information, it's members of the press, not the White House."
Sanders would not go into much detail regarding the security clearance process for aides working in the White House, instead indicating that this process is not handled by the White House itself.
Atrocious Ratings Aren't the Only Thing Don Lemon Is Struggling with on 'CNN This Morning': Report
"This is a process that doesn't operate within the White House," she said. "It's handled by our law enforcement and intelligence community. And we support that process. It's the same process that has been used for decades in previous administrations, and we're relying on that process at this point."
It's up to those agencies, she said, to "determine if changes need to be made to their process."

The dateFormatter object is no creatable element, but attaches itself to the modo core. It adds methods to the modo core to display times and dates in different formats. It can automatically correct time offsets across different timezones as well.
The dateFormatter is fully internationalizable - just overwrite the object properties that contain the strings dates are constructed from to make dates appear in your locale flavor.
Heads up: This is not a element constructor!
String that represents the word "today". Defaults to today.
String that represents the word "yesterday". Defaults to yesterday.
Micro-Template string for outputs of the dateToFancyString() method like "last week" or "last month". Defaults to last %v. %v is being replaced in that string.
String that represents a very short timespan. May be returned by dateToFancyString(). Defaults to about a minute ago.
String that represents a time that has never been there. Usually expression for the unix time 0.
Micro-Template string for outputs of the dateToFancyString() method like "20 seconds ago". Defaults to %v %u ago. %v is being replaced by the value, %u is being replaced by the unit.
Micro-Template string for outputs of the dateToFancyString() method like "in 10 minutes". Defaults to in %v %u. %v is being replaced by the value, %u is being replaced by the unit.
String that represents the current moment in time. Defaults to right now.
String that represents the default output format for a full date, if dateToFancyString() notices a difference to now that is greater than one week. Defaults to: F jS, Y (renders to: "April 5th, 2015").
Automatically set timezone offset. This is the UTC offset in hours, the USER uses on his side.
Automatically set timezone offset. This is the UTC offset in hours, the SERVER uses on his side. Defaults to the same timezone as the user, so no corrections are made. Set this to the servers real timezone to make the library automatically correct all time output while normalizeTimezones is set to true.
Should the library automatically correct time outputs from remote timezone to local timezone? Defaults to true.
Takes a date or timestamp and converts it to another timezone.
Takes a date object or timestamp and will return a "fancy" string representation which is most pleasant for users to read. Dates that are more than 7 days away from the current time will be rendered as a "full" date using the DEFAULT_FORMAT property.
This creates a "relative" string, as used often in applications and social networks. Instead of printing out the precise datetime, it comparing the two dates and produces outputs like "x minutes ago".
Also works into the future.
This outputs a string with a formatted date and follows the PHP date() specification.


Tata Motors has just launched the highly anticipated Zest compact sedan in India. The sub-4 meter car is the latest addition to India's burgeoning compact sedan segment, which will see more additions in future in the form of the 2015 Ford Figo-based and the Volkswagen PQ25 platform-based compact sedans. With the Zest, Tata Motors has once again delivered value in a large heap. Introductory prices start from 4.64 lakh rupees ex-showroom Delhi.
In terms of design, the Zest assumed a compact form of under 4 meters, with a stubby boot rounding off the rear. Based on the X1 platform, the Zest gets a completely new top hat with sharper design cues meant to give the car a sportier appearance. Projector headlamps up front and wraparound tail lamps give the Zest a distinct look while the 15 inch alloy wheels fill up the wheel wells nicely.
The Zest comes with turbo petrol and turbo diesel engine options, and is also the first Tata car to feature a turbo petrol engine and an automated manual transmission. The petrol motor is the newly developed, 1.2 liter-4 cylinder turbocharged engine that makes 89 Bhp-140 Nm. The petrol motor gets an ECU with three different drive modes, Eco, City and Sport. A five speed manual gearbox is standard with the turbo petrol motor engined Zest.
The diesel variant of the Zest uses the tried and tested, Fiat 1.3 liter-4 cylinder Multijet turbocharged motor, available in two states of tune, 75 Bhp-190 Nm (fixed geometry turbocharger) and 90 Bhp-200 Nm (variable geometry turbocharger). The engine uses a 5 speed manual gearbox as standard while a Magneti Marelli designed 5 speed automated manual transmission is offered as an option, giving the Zest a class leading feature.
The Zest gets driver focused ergonomics in the form of the dashboard and instrumentation design oriented towards the driver. Fit and finish levels have been ratcheted up on the Zest's interiors, making it one of the better finished Tata cars in recent times. A touch screen infotainment interface with integrated climate control and Harman stereo functions makes the Zest one of the best equipped cars in the Indian compact sedan segment.
The car is available in ten variants, five in petrol and four in diesel. The five variants of the Zest Diesel are – XE, XM, XMA, XMS and XT. The petrol powered Zest skips the XMA F-TRONIC automatic variant. The XE variant of the diesel uses the 1.3 liter Fiat Multijet turbo diesel engine in 75 Bhp-190 state of tune. Top-end variants of the Zest get twin airbags and ABS+EBD.

Q: Could I align/colour this form with inline CSS? I have a small signup form here http://violinschool.com/#join which isn't aligning properly. But as it's in third party software, I can't change a CSS file.

I'm wondering if I could put inline CSS there instead? The things I'm trying to do are:

*

*Make all the text white

*Put in a decent amount of space between the entry fields and submit button

*Put a decent amount of space around the field description text

*Make the entry fields and submit button a little bit bigger

Do you think this is doable using inline CSS?
Thank you so much for your advice!

A: Inline styling will over ride any CSS so yes.
on the text you want white add
style="color:#fff;"

add margin to the bottom of your input fields, this should also create between you last field and the submit button.
style="margin-bottom:15px;"

also add this for space between labels and input fields
style="margin-left:20px;"

add padding to the things you want bigger
style="padding:5px 15px;"

Alameda retirement planning can be started at any time to ensure you are able to stop working at a young age and fully enjoy the Alameda life that you have created. While your goal should be to have all debt paid off by the time you reach the retirement years, you will still have monthly expenses such as utilities to pay at that time. Also, you will need to account for having money to travel and do all of the things that you had hoped to begin doing during the post working years. As such, it can be essential to begin Alameda retirement planning for a nest egg now even if you are still quite young to be able to retire at an acceptable age.
An Alameda retirement planning expert in California can provide the assistance you may need when first going through the process for the post working years. An Alameda expert in California is one that helps many individuals navigate through the process of saving for the retirement years. From helping them select a particular type of account to deciding when it would be acceptable to stop working and begin the post working years, there is a large amount of valuable assistance that can be received from this type of Alameda expert.
If you have worked for the same Alameda employer in CA for many years but now have decided to switch employers or start a business, you will need to decide what to do with your retirement account. Many employers offer 401k accounts to their employees and, if you have been contributing to this type of account for many years, you will likely want to roll it over to an IRA after leaving the company. The California retirement planning expert that you select will be able to explain the options that are available to you for a roll over as well as the manner in which this process can be completed.
In all, a roll over does not need to be complicated as long as you use the guidance of an Alameda retirement planning professional. Additionally, be sure that the proper roll over forms are obtained and completed from the original Alameda plan administrator during the roll over planning process to ensure that setbacks are not experienced. By doing this, you can complete the change more easily and will also be ensuring that you are receiving the most benefits from the money that you have saved up for the retirement years.
One of the best things that you can do when it comes to Alameda retirement planning processes is to make the task of saving for your nest egg automatic. By doing this, you will not be tempted to use the funds for other unnecessary purposes but instead will not even miss the money that is being invested. Also, this will reduce the responsibilities that you will need to handle regarding the process of saving and investing the money that you earn.
Small business owners are able to experience a wide range of benefits. From being able to basically set their incomes to having control over their schedules, there is much to be received from starting a small business. However, with this action also comes the responsibility of ensuring that you have fulfilled all of the responsibilities that are involved with being a business owner. In particular, you must not only begin the Alameda retirement planning process for yourself, you also must consider whether this is a benefit that you will offer to any employees you will be hiring in the future.
When it comes to planning for retirement for yourself as a small business owner, you have a variety of choices available. The Alameda retirement planning expert in CA that you select can explain the differences between the various accounts and can really help immensely when you are trying to determine which account should be opened. From a traditional IRA to a Roth version, your options are quite vast when it comes to saving for the post working years as a business owner. However, if you will also be hiring employees, then an entirely new level to this planning process will be added.
If you want to offer an Alameda retirement planning benefit to your CA employees, then you may want to meet with a planning professional in Alameda to learn more about SEP IRA accounts and other similar small business plans. It can be very helpful to receive guidance from an Alameda planning professional with the establishment of a small business retirement account because you will need to uphold certain government regulations and you certainly will not want to make mistakes along the way with this important decision.

Everyone is entitled to the opportunity to defend themselves, and a good defense could change the entire course of your future.
What should I do at an accident scene to preserve evidence?
On behalf of Law Offices of Joseph J. Tock posted in motor vehicle accidents on Wednesday, June 27, 2018.
Finding yourself involved in an accident, whether you were the at-fault driver or not, can be very stressful. Even the most minor of accidents can lead to injuries for anyone involved. If you are the cause of a car crash in Mahopac, New York, you will want to do everything possible to defend yourself. This might include preserving the evidence at the scene that could get you off the hook.

Each time you get behind the wheel in Mahopac, you have to think about safety. It might not be at the forefront of your mind all the time, but the thoughts need to cross your mind at least once or twice. Staying safe when on the road is vital to your health and to your life. You don't want to be involved in an avoidable accident. Then there are accidents that are completely unavoidable and they can cause some serious injuries.

You have heard the warnings and recommendations from friends, professionals, maybe even your own children. You need an estate plan and the sooner the better. Perhaps the recent deaths of celebrities who died suddenly and left no protection for their legacies prompted you to consider the benefits of establishing a plan for when you pass away.

Getting behind the wheel in Mahopac, New York, is dangerous. Car accidents occur every couple of minutes all over the state. There's no guarantee that you will be immune from getting in a car accident during your lifetime. The sheer volume of cars on the road argues against that. One of the worst types of drivers out there today is the distracted driver. Here's how to spot one so you can stay far away from them.

Being accused of a robbery is a very serious situation to be in. It could potentially result in jail time, and depending on the type and magnitude of the robbery you were accused of, it could affect the rest of your life. Therefore, it is very important to take early action in order to defend yourself against a robbery charge in New York.

If you get stopped for suspicion of drunk or impaired driving, you need to understand the potential consequences of any actions and admissions that you take or make. In some instances, how you comport yourself in the immediate aftermath of a DUI stop can determine whether you get arrested or are allowed to proceed on your way.

Worcester's South High encourages college enrollment
Worcester's South High School, 170 Apricot St., held its first ever college fair on Tuesday and both the students and faculty, who worked hard to set up the event, were ecstatic about the day's success.
The event kicked off at 8 a.m. and served as a way to help students navigate the sometimes difficult to commandeer avenues of college application. While it can be tough for any student to wrap their heads around the application process, it can be particularly hard for those students who are set to become the first in their family to attend as well as those in families that are economically challenged.
�This is huge for families that have not gone through this process before,� explained the Superintendent of Worcester Public Schools, Dr. Melinda Boone. �Getting that application in is a huge hurdle.�
Elizabethe Plante is the Education Advisor for South High and works through Massachusetts Education and Career Opportunities, Inc. The college fair was her brainchild and the school's guidance counselors each gave Plante a list of students, many of whom will be first generation college attendees, who are candidates for higher education. She has been preparing the event for over two months.
�I am beside myself with joy,� said Plante. �This is the one day that we get to publicly celebrate the decisions that will help [students] step in to success.�
The students selected visited with staff on hand to help with applications and spoke with representatives of various colleges. To further assist the students, the college application fees are waived. Upon submission of the application, bells are rung and the crowd cheers. It is an absolutely upbeat and positive atmosphere at the school. As of the time of this story, there were 20 on-the-spot acceptances to Worcester State University and 32 to Quinsigamond Community College.
Elycea Almodovar is a senior at South High School and serves as the editor of the school news-website, Coloneljournal.com, which is set to go live in December. With an interest in the communications field, she will be the first of her family to attend college.
�It's really cool to have this all set up,� said Almodovar. �Having a support network is huge.�
Following the application process, the school held a pep rally, which featured a panel of former students speaking on their college experiences and the introduction of students who applied as well as a marching band and cheer performances. At the heart of the day, however, it really came down to setting students up for success.
�You can be anything you want to be,� said South High Principal Maureen Binienda. �Sometimes, you just need the right help.�

Vieira rules himself out of Newcastle job
Date: 1st July 2019 at 7:00pm
Patrick Vieira has effectively ruled himself out of the running to be the next Newcastle United manager.
The Telegraph reported last week that the OGC Nice manager is on the Magpies' shortlist as they hunt down a replacement for Rafa Benitez, who has now left St James' Park after his contract expired.
However Newcastle's hopes of hiring Vieira look set to be dashed, judging by the Frenchman's latest comments on his future at Nice.
"I'm at Nice for the long run. I do not intend to go elsewhere," said Vieira, as quoted by Sky Sports via their live transfer blog on Monday [01:40pm].
"I have always felt good here and with the people around me. I do not see myself anywhere other than OGC Nice."
Newcastle need to find themselves a manager as soon as possible. They have already wasted a good chunk of the summer by failing to clear up Benitez's future earlier than they did and that has left Mike Ashley and Lee Charnley with a lot of work to do. Vieira's name is one that will now have to be crossed off the club's shortlist to replace Benitez. The ex-Arsenal midfielder has done a decent job in management in spells at New York City and Nice, so it would have been interesting to see him return to England to take the hotseat at St James' Park. It would have been a risky, slightly left-field appointment by Ashley, but it might have been one that could have worked out for the Magpies. Newcastle fans are unlikely to be in complete agreement over whether or not Vieira would have been a good hire, but that debate seems useless now with him basically out of contention.
