GOP election reviews face battleground state legal tests
And election experts have long warned that the reviews — which supporters often call "audits," a term professional election administrators and experts have rejected — are a political vehicle for former President Donald Trump and his followers to launder their conspiratorial beliefs about his 2020 loss into the mainstream under the guise of government investigation.
"This is corrosive to our democracy," said Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat who is in litigation to quash a review in his state. "We've continued to see lies being made about the integrity of our elections."
In Wisconsin, the effort is being led by former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman with the support of state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, the most powerful Republican in the state.
Gableman — who said before being put in charge of the investigation that "unelected bureaucrats" at the state election commission "steal our vote" and later said he does not "have a comprehensive understanding" of "how elections work" — has cast a wide net in his probe. He has attempted to subpoena the Wisconsin Elections Commission for an expansive set of data, and has fired off a wave of subpoenas to individual cities in the state seeking a range of election-related records.
Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, when asked how many times Gableman has subpoenaed her city, said it was "a good question" before reeling off a list of city officials.
"It's very, very broad. To me, it just looks like a fishing expedition," the Democratic mayor continued. Her office on Monday made public two new subpoenas issued to city employees at the end of 2021.
Neither Gableman's nor Vos' office responded to interview requests from POLITICO.
Kaul's office is currently embroiled in litigation seeking to kill a subpoena from Gableman to interview Meagan Wolfe, the administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Kaul's lawsuit argues that the subpoena against Wolfe should be tossed for a handful of reasons, including that the subpoena is overly broad and that it seeks to conduct a private interview rather than a public one.
A Dane County judge said after a late December hearing that she will decide whether Gableman's subpoena is valid by Jan. 10. That decision could have a cascading effect on other lawsuits in the country. A separate court case — about Gableman seeking to compel testimony from Rhodes-Conway and the mayor of Green Bay by threatening jail time — has its next hearing scheduled for Jan. 21.
"Gableman has asked for private depositions in connection with many of the other subpoenas," Kaul said. "And the same legal principles that apply in connection with our challenge would apply in other depositions he's seeking as well."
On Tuesday, an attorney for Green Bay filed a motion with the court seeking sanctions against Gableman for his actions in the case.
Another case in Wisconsin could also shed more light on Gableman's probe: In a lawsuit brought by the liberal-leaning research group American Oversight, a Dane County judge on Tuesday ordered that Vos and a staffer sit for depositions on Jan. 12 relating to compliance with public records requests about the investigation.
A similar battle in Pennsylvania, between the state's Democratic attorney general and Republican legislators supporting their own election probe, is ongoing.
The Republican state Senate is pushing a probe there, all amid an intraparty battle between two rivals with designs on higher office. State Sen. Cris Dush, the chair of the chamber's Intergovernmental Operations Committee, was tapped by state Senate President Jake Corman to lead the effort, with Corman shouldering aside state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Trump ally who had loudly called for an election review.
Corman is running for governor, and Mastriano is expected to launch his own bid sometime in the coming weeks.

State Attorney General Josh Shapiro — who is the Democratic Party's likely gubernatorial nominee — has sued to kill the main subpoena in Pennsylvania, issued by Dush's committee, which seeks to compel the state's elections department to turn over a slew of data about Pennsylvania's 9 million voters, some of which is not publicly available.
Shapiro's suit, which also includes state Senate Democrats as challengers to the subpoena, argued that the subpoena does not have any "legitimate legislative purpose," that Dush's committee does not have jurisdiction over elections and that it would violate the privacy rights of Pennsylvania voters.
Dush's office said, in response to written questions from POLITICO, that "we believe the Senate's statutory and constitutional authority to conduct this investigation is clear in this case," and that the "investigation is intended to restore the public's faith in how our elections are run."
A state court heard arguments in the case in mid-December, and an aide to Dush said a ruling is expected within "weeks, not months." That is, however, likely to be just the opening salvo in the legal fight. Regardless of which side prevails, the ruling will likely be appealed to the state Supreme Court.
During the court challenges to the probe, the investigation has inched along. Dush announced in November that the committee hired a company called Envoy Sage to conduct the investigation, which he called "highly competent, impartial and experienced." But in a court filing in December, attorneys in Shapiro's office noted that Envoy Sage had "no documented experience in election matters" and was not a suitable choice to handle sensitive information.
Even as the legal fights continue in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Republican-led efforts to investigate the 2020 election elsewhere have not validated Trump's lies about the election. The Texas secretary of state's office launched a probe in September, just hours after Trump publicly pressured top Republicans in the state to do so. The results of the first phase, which were buried on New Year's Eve, found no significant issues.
The same is true for the Arizona probe, the original review that spawned copycat efforts across the country — both Dush and Gableman, for example, had traveled to Arizona to observe the proceedings. Election experts had ripped the partisan review in Arizona, which Trump heavily promoted as being run by conspiracy-fueled and inexperienced investigators.
The final vote tally from that review closely matched official results, but experts say that does not change the fact the report should be dismissed wholesale.
And on Wednesday, a rebuttal report from Maricopa County, the state's largest county that was the focus of the Arizona review, slammed the state Senate-led effort for what it called "faulty analysis, inaccurate claims, misleading conclusions, and a lack of understanding of federal and state election laws."
"The events of last January 6 were inspired and motivated by the persistent lie that a free and fair election had been rigged," Maricopa Board of Supervisors Chair Bill Gates and County Recorder Stephen Richer, both Republicans, said in a statement released at the conclusion of a four-hour presentation. "We will not allow those lies to go unchecked."

Viet Nam Red Cross braces for the arrival of typhoon Haiyan
Home News And Events Viet Nam Red Cross braces for the arrival of typhoon Haiyan
Da Nang Red Cross staff and volunteers join forces to protect people's houses and homes for disabled children, prior to Typhoon Haiyan making landfall.As Typhoon Haiyan moves across the South China Sea to Viet Nam, the country is bracing for the 15th storm to hit this year alone.
Typhoon Wutip, which struck on 30 September, was declared to be the strongest storm to hit central Viet Nam since 2006. Only a short time later, Typhoon Nari followed the same path. And now, the very same communities who are still struggling to recover are facing the destruction of Typhoon Haiyan, which is said to be the strongest typhoon in recorded history.
The apparent course of the storm could pose challenges for the government, as it will mean extending its disaster response support for the survivors over a wider area and make it harder to integrate with the existing needs after typhoons Wutip and Nari.

For running errands around town or commuting short distances to work or school, it is hard to beat the reliability and performance of Razor's E300S Electric Scooter. This heavy duty, full sized scooter is a step up from Razor's E200S Scooter. This larger model travels at a faster speed, has a longer range, and carries larger riders. The Razor name is synonymous with well made scooters, and this one is no exception. Like some of Razor's other models, the E300S offers the option of a seated or standing ride. The comfortable padded seat and sturdy post are easily removed by loosening four screws. This is just one of the features that makes this scooter a good value for the money.
The Razor E300S Electric Scooter offers the quality you would expect from a Razor product. In the scooter business since 2003, Razor has perfected the design, workmanship, and performance of the scooter. High quality materials, streamlined looks, and standard features such as brakes and pneumatic tires make this scooter a good product for the money.
The Razor E300S combines the power of a 280 watt electric motor with the dependability of a chain driven gear system. This allows the wheels to turn uniformly, without draining the motor on takeoff. Speed is controlled by a twist grip hand throttle on the right handlebar. Simply twisting forward or back will allow the machine to speed up or slow down gently. There is no clutch or gear assembly to produce jerky speed changes. Braking is controlled by a single hand control brake lever that applies resistance to the rear wheel. A removable seat and post offer the option to ride standing up or sitting down.
The Razor E300S is sturdy. This heavy duty model offers a wider deck and stronger seat support that the smaller versions. As a result, the maximum weight limit on the E300S is 220 pounds, making this the perfect transport for adults of all ages. Available in grey, blue, or pink there is a choice for anybody.
The rechargeable battery pack provides 24V of power that lasts about 40 minutes with continuous riding. The max speed for this scooter is 15 mph, a decent rate for a two wheeled vehicle. The E300S will travel up slight inclines, but expect to lose some speed and power, especially if you are a large rider. The E300S travels on 10 inch pneumatic tires with a very shallow diagonal tread pattern, making it best suited for riding on smooth pavement.
The Razor E300S Electric Scooter is strong and long lasting. The heavy duty metal frame and seat post will accommodate large adults comfortably. The long lasting 24 V battery powers the scooter for up to 40 minutes of continual riding, about 3 miles. The removable seat and post offer the option of stand up, kick powered riding for those who like some variety.
The shallow tread of the 10 inch pneumatic tires really limits the riding surfaces for the E300S to smooth, level pavement. Bumpy pavement, gravel, and sand will pose a problem with traction, balance, and speed.
Even though the scooter is build to be sturdy, it is overly heavy at 52 pounds. If the battery does happen to expire, that is a lot of weight to push to your destination. The twist grip throttle, while efficient, might get tiring to hold onto if traveling a long distance.
The Razor E300S is a good quality scooter for an affordable price. It is not the best scooter being produced, but it is also not the worst. It offers a sturdy deck, strong motor, and good speed and range. The battery charge time is long, but not unbearable. The versatility of being able to remove the seat and ride standing up is a great option. One thing that would make the scooter better would be to change the tires to a knobbier tread that could handle rough surfaces.

Then I set off to analyze the two definitions for overlap and differences. So, I decided to go to create a Word Cloud on Tagxedo.com based on the text in bold.
Looking at the word count analysis, between the two phrases, the only overlap was the word, "evaluate." And upon closer inspection of the terms used, though there are some differences in the nuance of the words, many of the terms used are related: "find/access," "interpret/analyze," and "use and create/communicate." So, that didn't seem to clarify much for me.
Visual Literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and communicate ideas and thoughts visually.
Media Literacy is the ability to access analyze, evaluate and communicate ideas and thoughts through various forms of media including and not limited to things that are visual (ex. audio).

David Goodall, Australia's oldest scientist, ends his own life aged 104
Published On: May 11, 2018 08:33 AM NPT By: Agencies
Goodall ate fish and chips and cheesecake and listened to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in final hours
May 11: Australia's oldest scientist, David Goodall, has ended his own life at a clinic in Switzerland, surrounded by family and while listening to Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
The British-born 104-year-old professor was forced to travel on a one-way ticket from his home in Western Australia to Switzerland where liberal assisted dying laws allowed him to end his life legally, in contrast to Australia where it remains forbidden.
In his final hours, Goodall enjoyed his favourite dinner: fish and chips and cheesecake. And in his final minutes, he listened to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, best known for its last movement Ode to Joy, reportedly passing away shortly after the piece of music finished.
Family members were with Goodall until his death, which was preceded by formal paperwork that visibly frustrated the scientist, who said: "What are we waiting for?"
He was accompanied to the clinic of the Swiss assisted dying organisation Life Circle by Dr Philip Nitschke, the founder of the Australian right-to-die group Exit International.
To end his own life, Goodall had to turn a wheel that allowed a lethal infusion to flow into his bloodstream through a cannula on his arm. Nitschke said the professor did this "after answering questions which said he knew who he was, where he was and what he was about to do, and he answered these questions with great clarity.
"In fact his last words were: 'This is taking an awfully long time!'"
Assisted dying, where patients take the final action to end their lives, is legal in Canada, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland and parts of the US.
Goodall, a botanist and ecologist, had been campaigning for his home country Australia, where the state of Victoria is planning to legalise assisted dying for the terminally ill from 2019, to follow suit.
"What I would like," Goodall said, "is for other countries to follow Switzerland's lead and make these facilities available to all clients, if they meet the requirements, and the requirements not just of age, but of mental capacity."
Though Goodall was not terminally ill, he had seen his eyesight and mobility deteriorate considerably in recent years and said that his life stopped being enjoyable "five or 10 years ago".
The scientist requested that his body be donated to medicine or, if that were not possible, that his ashes be scattered locally in Switzerland. He wished to have no funeral, remembrance service or ceremony, since he had "no belief in the afterlife".
Goodall flew from Perth, where his daughter, son and grandchildren also live, to France last week to see relatives before arriving at the clinic in Liestal, near Basel. His case caused controversy in Australia, with doctors in Perth at one point threatening to stop him flying to Switzerland.
He spent his final full day exploring Basel University's botanic gardens with three of his grandchildren, who said they were proud of his bravery in the face of great public attention and were glad he would die on his own terms.
At his last press conference on Wednesday, Goodall was in good spirits and sang a few bars of Ode to Joy while wearing a jumper printed with the words "ageing disgracefully".
He said he would have preferred to die in Australia and previously voiced his resentment over the country's laws.
"Luckily my family who are in various parts of Europe and America have rallied round and come to see me, and I welcome the opportunity to see them, which I probably wouldn't have had if I hadn't pursued this Swiss option," he told journalists.
He appeared bemused by public interest in his case. "At my age, or less than my age, one wants to be free to choose the death when the death is at an appropriate time," Goodall said.
Exit International, which helped Goodall make the trip, said it was unjust that one of Australia's "oldest and most prominent citizens should be forced to travel to the other side of the world to die with dignity".
"A peaceful, dignified death is the entitlement of all who want it," it said on its website on Monday. "And a person should not be forced to leave home to achieve it."
However, the Australian Medical Association's president, Dr Michael Gannon, says he was concerned that the "suicide of someone who's aged 100" was being celebrated.
"What is the age at which we no longer celebrate people continuing life?" he asked. "People like Dr Goodall make a decision based on nothing more than they've decided there's nothing more to live for. I think that's a dangerous line to cross."
"I have serious concerns about a community where we make arbitrary decisions about whose life is valuable enough to continue and whose should be ended under the law."
An honorary research associate at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Goodall produced dozens of research papers and continued to publish after his retirement. In 1979, he was editor-in-chief of the multi-volume Ecosystems of the World.
He made international headlines in 2016 when he was declared unfit to be on campus. After an uproar and support from scientists globally, the decision was reversed.

Q: Вывод данных из mysql для определённого пользователя У меня есть 2 таблицы, с пользователями и заказами, нужно вывести данные на страницу, только для того пользователя, чей номер указан в таблице с заказами, он должен совпадать с номером в таблице с пользователями(нужно их сравнить), если в заказе указан другой номер, то у пользователя не должны выводиться данные по заказу.
Я написал небольшой запрос:
SELECT *
FROM orders
LEFT JOIN users
ON orders.phone=users.phone
WHERE orders.phone=users.phone;

Но он выводит данные из таблицы с заказами для всех пользователей, нужно исправить это недоразумение, буду благодарен за помощь :)

A: Выводит для всех пользователей потому что вы указали всех, а нужно для одного. Вам не нужно трогать таблицу пользоваталей. Всё просто:
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE phone='Телефон конкретного пользователя'

A: В условиях WHERE не нужно связывать столбцы, вы это cделали в ON. Вот такой вариант:
SELECT * FROM orders LEFT JOIN users ON orders.phone=users.phone WHERE users.phone='Номер телефона'

You may have noticed that we did not have the homesteading conference this year. We know it's tough for homesteaders to travel because they have to find a farm sitter, so we've decided to focus our efforts on online education. In March, the Thrifty Homesteader Academy opened with its first course, Goats 101, which includes more than seven hours of videos that cover the basics of owning goats, from purchasing and housing to health, nutrition, and parasite information.
Because copper deficiency is a serious problem for so many goat owners, there is a FREE course on Copper Deficiency in Goats, which includes three videos, articles, and handouts that can be printed out for easy reference. Each lesson includes a discussion board where you can ask questions, which will be answered by me, Deborah, based upon solid research on goat nutrition.
In June, we launched a course in soapmaking called Coming Clean: How to Make Toxin-Free Soap Without Breaking the Bank. Although you could easily spend hundreds of dollars when you get started making soap, this course will provide a road map for spending far less. You won't need to buy soap molds or a $300 soap slicer, and you'll learn how to scent your soap with essential oils without spending a fortune.
Former Homesteading Conference attendees and blog readers can use the coupon code CONF to receive 25% off any of the paid courses. And remember Copper Deficiency in Goats is free.
We are currently beta testing a course on parasites for sheep and goat owners, which includes interviews with the top parasite researchers in the country. And we will also be adding a course on homestead businesses in the near future.
Subscribe to stay up to date on current class offerings and specials.
Antiquity Oaks Farm near Cornell, IL, will be hosting Goats 101 from 9 a.m. to noon and Goat Breeding & Birthing from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 26. Goats 101 will include information about housing, fencing, nutrition, mineral deficiencies, parasites, FAMACHA, deworming, dewormer resistance, hoof trimming, and how to give medication to a goat.
In the afternoon, Goat Breeding and Birthing will cover signs of heat, pen breeding vs. hand breeding, pregnancy, signs of labor, birthing difficulties, feeding kids, dam raising vs bottle raising, and special challenges with kids regarding parasites and nutrition. Because much of the afternoon's information is dependent upon knowing what was covered in the morning, anyone who wants to attend the afternoon class must have attended the morning class or must have read Raising Goats Naturally.
Cheesemaking Basics will be held Sunday morning, March 27, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. You will see a demonstration of how to make mozzarella and queso blanco, and we'll discuss how these cheesemaking processes are similar or different from other types of cheeses. You will also learn what type of equipment you'll need to make more complicated cheeses.
Learn to make cold process soap in the afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. We will be making goat milk soap, but we will also explain how you can do it with water. You will see every step of the soapmaking process from beginning to end. You will also receive a bar of soap to take home and use.
You can attend classes individually or all four. Click here for more information about the classes and to register.
Walk-in registrations will be accepted for the conference on Saturday, but Sunday's Goat Workshop is full.
We've had a lot of rain today, so be sure to bring waterproof shoes or boots because we will be walking around the farm for several sessions. Also, do NOT park on the grass because you will get stuck. We will have someone available to tell you where to park, but the important thing is to stay on the gravel driveway.
Remember that GPS cannot find the farm, so you need to use Mapquest to find us. We will also have signs on the corners of our road, so you'll know when you're getting close. And there will be signs at the end of our driveway also.
This past spring, we purchased a 20-year-old construction trailer and turned it into a mobile hen house. Being a construction trailer, it had essentially been an office in the past, so it was just an empty room -- or two, actually. So, we removed the wall that had separated the trailer into two rooms, and we replaced one of the outer walls that had rotting wood.
We added roll-out nest boxes, so we could collect eggs from outside, and we added roosts. After this picture was taken, we also added a hanging feeder in the middle of the hen-mobile, and we put a metal garbage can in the corner to hold the chicken feed so that we don't have to carry it outside for every feeding. We keep the waterer outside so that the inside stays cleaner.
If you attend the conference on Saturday, you will be able to get up close and personal with the new hen-mobile during the "Mobile Chicken Housing" session at 10:15.
You will also be able to see the chicken tractors that we use for raising younger chickens and turkeys, and you will even have the opportunity to move one. It took us four models to get it right, and most people are surprised at how easy this type is to move. In fact, children were moving it this summer during Nature's Farm Camp.
Click here to register for this year's conference.
Early bird discount ends tonight!
Today is the last day to receive the early bird discount on your registration. If you register by midnight, you'll receive $10 off the regular price.
This year's conference is being held at Antiquity Oaks Farm. Most of the sessions are live demos or hands-on. We will be walking around the farm to learn more about fencing and mobile poultry housing options. You'll see how to make tinctures and salves, and you'll walk around and discover what weeds are edible and which ones can be used medicinally. You'll even see the canning and wine making process from beginning to end. Click on the "Schedule" link to learn more.
If you are coming from out of town, you can camp on the farm Friday or Saturday night at no additional charge, but reservations are required. Just contact us to let us know which nights you'll be staying and when we can expect you. There is parking for two RVs and plenty of room for tents.
This year's conference will be held at Antiquity Oaks Farm, and we're breaking away from most of the PowerPoints and lectures and doing more demonstrations and experiential sessions.
That means we'll be walking through the pastures to see and handle the fencing while we talk about which fences work best for which livestock and which ones should be avoided. We'll actually pick up, move, and re-install portable electric fencing.
You'll get up close and personal with four different types of mobile poultry housing, including a new hen-mobile.
We'll be canning seasonal produce, walking through the woods to learn about edible weeds, and making tinctures and salves. We'll even be making wine, so you can see and experience what it means to "rack" the wine or degas it.
You'll also get to see a cob oven and learn how it was built while firing it up and baking in it.
We are still working on the session descriptions, but registration is open. The early bird discount of $79 is available until July 31, but because we're holding the conference on the farm, we have to limit registration to only 30 people, so register early to be sure you'll be able to attend.
Mark your calendars for the 2016 conference!
This year's conference will be held the weekend after Labor Day -- Saturday, September 10 -- and we will have homesteading workshops on Sunday, September 11. Both days will be held on Antiquity Oaks Farm, northeast of Cornell, IL and west of Odell, IL, off I-55.
Many thanks to everyone who responded to our survey! We are now working on scheduling classes and workshops. If you have anything in particular you'd like to learn about, leave your suggestions in the comment section.

Ep. 121 – Learn Why Melinda Gates Funds Ada Developers Academy in Atlanta with Lauren Sato
By Tiffany Brackens May 10, 2022 May 12th, 2022 No Comments
William Leonard
Founded back in 2013, Ada Developers Academy is a nonprofit, cost-free software developer academy that is aiming to change the face of the tech industry. Their year-long coding school for women in gender-expansive adults has a 94% job placement rate and is truly empowering the next generation of software developers. Today, I sat down with the CEO of Ada, Lauren Sato to discuss all aspects of the program, the roadmap of expansion, which also includes Atlanta, and how Ada is empowering students to see over a 100% bump in salary in just over a year of going through the program. Also as the conversation unfolds, Lauren also lets us know how the local Atlanta stakeholders, investors, founders, and enterprises can help support their mission of diversifying the number of software developers in the world of tech. Lauren, thank you so much for joining me today.
Lauren Sato
I am so thrilled to be here. Thank you so much for having me.
There's a lot that we're going to talk about this afternoon on the podcast, but I would love for you to just kick it off and give our listeners the 90-second rundown on what Ada Developers Academy is, what you're doing, and we can take the conversation from there.
Fantastic. Ada is a Software Development training program for women and gender-expansive people. We've been around since 2013. We are a one-year program and we teach full-stack Software Development. Students do six months in the classroom, six months in an internship with one of our corporate partners, and then land awesome Software Development jobs at the biggest tech companies in our country, startups, and everything in between.
Awesome. I love that. Before we talk more about Ada, the mission, and the origins, what's your background? I know you're relatively new to the CEO role at Ada. Can you talk to us about your background, your experiences, and how you ultimately became the leader over at Ada?
I actually spent most of my career so far in the startup space so I'm very excited to talk to you today. I've been in the nonprofit space, I've been in the tech industry at startups, and I've been in the impact investing space at startups. Coming to Ada was a real full-circle moment for me that kind of brought all of that together in this one organization where we're a startup ourselves. We're meeting the talent needs of a really fast-growing industry that's needing a lot of innovation in terms of talent pipelines. Ada itself, in this moment, when they went to look for their next CEO, was so well-positioned to grow but didn't have the muscle memory around it. Since that's what I've been doing throughout my career, growing startup companies, it was super exciting to see this opportunity with an organization that's so well positioned to meet a really critical need.
That's awesome. I was reading a bit about your background and you spent roles at startups as people roles, operations, roles, VP of revenue. You've seen the full cycle of the startup experience. I'm excited to talk more about that but equally want to dive into Ada more right now. Talk to us about the program. You said it's a year program and you have these partnerships with enterprises as well, talk to us about the perspective of the students who are going through these programs at Ada.
I mean the need for Ada came out of an industry where the pathways just weren't serving women and gender expansive folks and they certainly weren't serving women and gender expansive folks of color. Our Computer Science degree programs are 19% Women, 4% Women of Color, and the industry itself is 25% Women in Software Development roles. Our existing primary pathway was actively driving representation down. Ada came into the space to address that problem. Our students have proven over and over again how much we all stand to gain when we create that kind of access. Our all-time placement rate is 94%. 94% of the students who start with us end up in Software Development roles. Right now, the average salary change for those folks comes in making 35 to 40k and they leave making an average of $125,000. 193% compensation increase for them individually, which we know when we get money into the hands of women and particularly women of color, their entire communities benefit and we see that over and over again. Ada exists to meet that need in addition to meeting the really significant talent gap in the tech industry. I think I just looked at it today and on LinkedIn alone, there are 261,000 open Software Development jobs. There's this huge need that's just not being met by our current pathways. We have an opportunity not only to meet the need but to meet it in a way that serves more of humanity than our existing pathways. We're pretty excited about that. From our student perspectives, it's a pretty dramatic life change over the course of the year. It's a hard program, they can't have another job, and very intensive but totally worth it in the end.
You mentioned life-changing statistics there. 193% revenue increase in the course of a year. That is a generational shift for people who have traditionally been underserved and just don't have the resources to break into these career paths. As you all think about the program today, are you nationwide? Are you in a few select cities? I know there's been an expansion into Atlanta, we'll definitely talk about that, but what is the current state of Ada today?
It's a really relevant question. We were a totally in-person program in Seattle for all of our existence until March of 2020 and at which point we had to flip the whole thing to a digital program. What we found in doing that was it created access for folks who otherwise would never have access to this industry. We've had students in Oklahoma City, all across the country, and spaces where the tech industry was never going to go to them. We've been able to create access where they can stay where they're at, enrich their communities, and work for this industry that's really, really growing. We're going to keep the digital program and we're bringing our Seattle campus back in person actually next week, which we're super excited about. On our Atlanta campus, our first class of students started in March. They're doing a digital learning experience but in-person internships in Atlanta, we're going to do that for another cycle starting in the fall. And then in the spring of '23, we'll open our in-person campus in Atlanta. In the fall of 2023, reopen in Washington, DC, and we'll open in three additional cities for the next three years after that.
Awesome. It sounds like the program originated in Seattle and you all recently expanded to Atlanta. Why was Atlanta the next city for expansion? What did you all see as you all were assessing where we go next?
We did a really, really robust national search for our markets for expansion markets and Atlanta really quickly rose to the top. That's because we were looking for this intersection of a diverse community and tech industry growth. Atlanta is just so clearly at the top of that intersection. The reason that we're looking specifically at that intersection, as we've seen in Seattle, obviously, in San Francisco as well but because Seattle is our home that it's what I've seen directly. The central district in Seattle used to be 75% black and now it's 15%. This has been a direct result of the tech industry coming in, enriching a very small percentage of our population, and pushing everybody else out. At Ada, we see that we have an opportunity to shift how a tech industry impacts the community. We are really, really passionate about making sure that the wealth that the tech industry brings to a new city is benefiting everyone in the city and not just a select few.
You think about Atlanta, and I grew up here and have seen the positive impacts that enterprises relocating by bringing jobs here have had on the community and equally some of the negative impacts as well, namely, gentrification. Pushing a city that has been predominantly African American minority for decades now, pushing those people out to the boundaries. I was reading an article recently saying that Atlanta has officially become unaffordable in terms of cost of living. That's due to tech jobs moving here. I love that you all are being purposeful in the cities that you all are choosing and the communities that you all are wanting to impact. As you think about the students who are participating in the programs, how do you qualify what are the criteria that you have to meet to be a part of Ada?
The baseline criteria are that we serve women and gender-expansive folks. There are a lot of pathways and programs that are working well for men across the country. We're specifically focused on that subset of the population. We prioritize surveying folks from black, Latina, indigenous American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and the LGBTQIA+ communities. In addition to prioritizing serving low-income folks, I think about 77% of our students are low-income as well.
Got it. That's awesome. You all have 94% placement rates. That's incredibly impressive. As you kind of think about the evolution of Ada, you've been in the CEO role now for two-plus years, what is your vision for the program as you see it expanding to different cities and more enterprise brand partnerships?
We have a plan. We raised our growth round of funding last year. We created our five-year plan to support that. We have taken a pretty strong position on doing what we do really well and making sure that we saturate that need before we start to do other things. We get asked all the time to do adjacent markets, such as product management, UX, or data science. But the reality is, that there is such a massive talent gap in Software Development, and that's the space where the compensation, the flexibility, and the benefits are the richest. There are still 1.5 million women who left the workforce during the pandemic who haven't returned. There's a clear market need for what we're doing right now and in more places. That's our plan for the next five years is to add a city every year, to work towards having national coverage, having a hub in each region of the country, as well as expanding our digital program. Maybe the one thing that we're going to do differently as we're adding a pilot program right now, for folks who have gone through other boot camps or other programs and haven't been able to land a job, because we know that there's a significant number of people who have spent their money on a for-profit boot camp or for-profit program that hasn't resulted in employment. We have the ability to make that right. We're building a pilot program right now to support those folks.
That's awesome. You mentioned the growth funding that you all had. I believe one of the investors that you all have was Melinda Gates, that's so just been named. It's just incredible that she's backing the mission and the vision that you all have. Definitely congrats there. I think about the partners that you all are helping to place the students in, can you share some of the partners that you all are working with?
Our students are as diverse as the population of this country. Not all of them want to be cogs in a big machine and not all of them want to be entrepreneurs. In terms of the corporate partners that we work with, we really aim to have partnerships and internships available, and that whole range between brand new startups and incubators to the biggest tech companies in the world. We do work with Amazon, Google, Microsoft, those really big organizations. And in Seattle, we work with a startup venture studio where students are getting the opportunity to work right from the ground up with brand new companies and then everything in between, small to mid-size, and then growth stage companies as well.
I was gonna ask about the angle of working with tech accelerators, startup studios, and things like that. Is that an area where you see an opportunity for student placement as the program continues to evolve?
Such a powerful opportunity. We actually just had a Seattle startup, hired one of our alums as their first CTO, and seeing her get in there and establish policies and practice practices that are equitable and inclusive from the start, has been so impactful. She's hiring other Ada alums so that the founding tech team looks so different than other companies. What we know through our work with larger companies is what's happening there in that startup is saving that company, so much work down the road in undoing inequitable practices and having to react to a work environment that's not working for an increasingly diverse workforce. We're super enthusiastic about that startup space, and getting folks in early who can have that decision-making power.
That's huge to startups as well as you're saving them time, energy, and effort, and really building a workplace, as you said, is equitable, that is comfortable for all the employees. I love that you all are taking that approach. Looking at Ada for 2022, being here in Atlanta, and getting ready to open up a physical location where I think you said in 2023, how can the city of Atlanta–whether that's the VCs here, the universities here, or the enterprises that are here–how can this ecosystem of stakeholders be meaningful to the mission of Ada?
I love that question so much because there's such an opportunity for impact. It's not about Ada, it's about the health of the ecosystem in the long run. The thing that I always ask of venture capitalists, incubators, accelerators, and startups, is to set expectations and goals from the beginning around equity and inclusion so that you're not having to claw back and be reactive down the road. It really does save the business a lot of cleanup down the road. It's just the right thing to do. It means that the whole ecosystem is going to be healthy because we know that when we distribute wealth in a community, it becomes more resilient and less prone to risk, less prone to significant problems. It's not just good for the company, it's good for the entire community. We all really benefit from that.
That's so true. All the stakeholders are going to benefit from the increased diversity and increased perspective that's here in the region. As you think about the team at Ada, are you all having software developers and professors teaching the students the lay of the land? Who is practically the intermediary educating the students?
There are two sides to our student's educational experience that are, I would say, equally critical. One is our instructors who are phenomenal. They range in backgrounds, from traditionally trained educators who learned Software Development, to software developers who decided to move into the educational space. I think having that variety of folks is really helpful because we get really strong pedagogy and we get really strong industry and technical knowledge. That's one part that's really, really important. And then the other equally important, and I would say to folks who are listening and are interested in getting involved, is our mentor and tutor program. Having folks from the community spend some time with our students, help them problem solve as they're working through their projects, help them navigate the industry as they're getting into their internship, and then looking for their eventual job upon graduation, that role that the community plays in coming alongside our students is so critical as well.
I love that twofold approach there to help the students get educated, get comfortable, and then get hired. That's the goal. I love that. As we wrap up the conversation here, I think it's important we know where the company is, and where Ada is today but learning the history and the origins of a program like this is really important. I would love for you to maybe just give us some brief history on how Ada came about.
Back in 2013, our two founders, Scott Case and Elise Worthy were entrepreneurs, folks who are exactly like folks who are probably listening to this. They were building new companies and looking at the talent pipeline. Not only were they very concerned about the lack of diversity in the talent pipeline, but it is also just really hard for a startup to compete for top talent with the big behemoths in the industry. I mean, in Seattle, it is just like a running theme, how do you compete with Amazon to hire software developers? And so connecting with alternative pathways like Ada solves both that diversity problem and just the access to talent problem. But back to Scott and Elise, they were entrepreneurs themselves looking for talent, saw the challenge, and started asking around about different program models. Actually, a funny small world connection, I was at another program called Year Up at the time, which is similar. A year-long program, six months of classroom, and six months of internships. I sat down with that with Scott and Elise when they were thinking of Ada and just gave them the Year Up program model like this is how this works. That ended up being the model that Ada followed. I was able to know Ada and see Ada when it was just a glimmer in their eyes and then watch it develop over the years, which has been a real privilege, particularly because I was on the hiring side at tech companies and was really seeing this bias around boot camp grads like we're not going to hire boot camp grads, they're not good enough. But over and over again, I was hearing, "There's this one program called Ada. We'll hire from them like those are the quality grabs." It was really awesome to be a fangirl of the program over the last almost 10 years and then to have the opportunity to join right at this moment where my experience as a startup growth person and Ada's trajectory really intersected?
I'm very familiar with the Year Up program. I have some friends here in the metro Atlanta area who have actually gone through the program. I love that you all are really increasing the diversity in tech. That's what this is about, changing the lives of the underserved, to really empower them, in a sense, through technology and through meaningful pathways like this. I'm excited about what you all are doing. I'm incredibly even more excited that you're in Atlanta as your next city. I think I tell people this all the time but I'm incredibly biased, Atlanta is the best city in the world. You think about the commerce that happens here through the world's busiest airport, you think about the university talent that you have here, you think about the startup ecosystem, and the enterprise is here. There's so much to love about Atlanta. I think the thing is that we're just beginning, we're still at the infancy stages of the blossoming of our tech scene here in the city. Really excited that Ada is going to be a key contributor to that growth here in Atlanta. Appreciate you joining me today, Lauren, hopefully, we can have some positive things come out of this conversation. Some of our listeners are executives at enterprises, lots of VCs, and a lot of startup founders as well who are going to be looking for talent to hire. We're hoping for the best and I'm sure this conversation will yield dividends for Ada and the founders as well.
Phenomenal. It's been such a privilege to have this conversation and agree with you. Atlanta is incredible. We're just super excited to be able to be a part of it and hopefully, do our small part to make sure that it stays phenomenal and doesn't get diluted or materially changed as tech grows in the city.
I love it, Lauren. Thank you again for joining me today. I'm excited to continue to see Ada here in the city.
Awesome. Thanks so much for having me.

Haibo Zeng, Abhijit Davare, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli, Sampada Sonalkar, Sri Kanajan, Claudio Pinello. "Design Space Exploration of Automotive Platforms in Metropolis". Society of Automotive Engineers Congress, April, 2006.
Automotive control applications are implemented over distributed platforms consisting of a number of electronic control units (ECUs) connected by communication buses. During system development, the designer can explore a number of design alternatives: for example, software distribution, software architecture, hardware architecture, and network configuration. Exploring design alternatives efficiently and evaluating them to optimize metrics such as cost, time, resource utilization, and reliability provides an important competitive advantage to OEMs and helps minimize integration risks. We present a methodology (Platform-Based Design) and a framework (Metropolis) to support efficient architecture exploration. We have exercised the methodology and the capabilities of Metropolis for developing a library of automotive architecture components and performed design space exploration on a chassis control sub-system.


First off, I would like to add something to last week's tip that really should have gone in there. Last week, I discussed the effect of losing or gaining weight had on muscle memory. Gary Fakuda pointed out that working out itself, which produces extra muscles, can have just as much an effect on muscle memory as losing or gaining weight. In fact, given that as muscle builds, the flexibility of those muscles decreases, the effect on muscle memory is even greater, because the range of motion will decrease, thus not allowing the full motion of something like throwing a bowling ball down a lane. So, it is important if you are choosing to work out to gain muscle, that you do the proper stretching before and AFTER exercising. This will help give you back at least some of the flexibility in your muscles. Thanks to Gary for keeping me straight on that.
Now, for this week's tip. As usual I'm going to draw on my own experiences, or rather my mistakes, LOL, to point out something else many bowlers tend to do. Many bowlers have more than one piece of equipment in their arsenal. Many times there will be one particular piece of equipment that a bowler will like better than the others for whatever reason. This ball will work very well on many types of conditions that that bowler sees. But what if it just isn't working? Sometimes, even on house conditions that are the same week after week after week, conditions may not favor that ball to be used. It is important to recognize when to put your favorite ball away and go with something that matches the condition better. If you are having considerable trouble with the lanes, and you are doing everything you can, sometimes a ball change is a good thing because it gives you a whole new read of the way the lanes are reacting. Many times the effect is purely psychological, you just "feel" different throwing the new ball, rather being in the rut with the one that is not working. Sometimes that new feeling is enough to instill new confidence and better shot making.
I know I've kept with balls too long on the lane, and ended up switching too late. Knowing that if I had switched earlier I'd have had a better squad or set. It can happen to anybody. So, next time you are in a rut and can't seem to find a way out, try a new ball out of the arsenal. It could give you the edge.

ICICI-Videocon loan case: Kochhar contests bonus clawback, ESOP termination
By Shrimi Choudhary | New Delhi | Last Updated at May 20 2019 03:39 IST
Chanda Kochhar
ICICI Bank former managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) Chanda Kochhar has sent a legal letter to the private lender, objecting to the way her resignation was treated as termination, refusing to give back the money she got as bonuses and stock options between April 2009 and March 2018, as directed by the bank, said two people privy to the development.
On January 30, the board of ICICI Bank announced it would claw back all the perks given to her, following a report by a probe panel headed by former Supreme Court judge B N Srikrishna that indicted Kochhar for violating the bank's code of conduct in the Videocon loan case. Kochhar was directed to return about Rs 10 crore in bonuses she had received as CEO, and to also give up close to 6 million shares of the bank she had as stock option. The letter was sent by Kochhar's lawyer, seeking explanation over treating her separation as a 'termination for cause'.
The letter highlighted her long-serving tenure in the bank (close to 34 years), her hard work and how she conducted herself with integrity. The letter said that the bank's termination decision had tarnished her reputation.
Sources say the letter sent across was hard-hitting and aggressive, and briefly touched upon the allegations made against her. Her legal team is awaiting the bank's response to decide the subsequent course, said sources.
Further, Kochhar's lawyer in the letter pointed out that none of the credit decisions at the bank was unilateral and followed committee-based collective decision-making. Kochhar was charged with quid pro quo while sanctioning loans to the Videocon group.
An email sent to ICICI Bank remained unanswered. Kochhar did not respond to text messages.
The bank had in a statement said Kochhar ineffectively dealt with conflict of interest and due disclosure or recusal requirements, while deciding on loans given to the Videocon group, where her relatives had a close business interest.
"Chanda Kochhar was in violation of the ICICI Bank code of conduct, its framework for dealing with conflict of interest and fiduciary duties, and in terms of applicable Indian laws, rules and regulations," the bank statement said, citing the probe report. The Srikrishna Committee investigated her role since April 2009, when she was named CEO, till March 2018.
"From a legal standpoint, the bank should have sufficient ground to make deduction from guaranteed components in the case of C-suite executives," said a lawyer aware about the case. However, each organisation can exercise control and flexibility when it comes to structuring the terms and conditions around incentives, bonuses, perks, stock options, and so on. But enforcing such a clawback provision in an employment contract is always open to legal challenges once invoked, he added.
The Reserve Bank of India guidelines say banks and financial institutions should put in place appropriate modalities to incorporate the clawback mechanism in respect of variable pay. These guidelines are aimed at creating accountability among senior managements for their decisions.
Until June 2018, the ICICI Bank board had given a clean chit to Kochhar with full backing and had said there was no question of favouritism, nepotism or conflict of interest on her part in granting loans to Videocon Industries or any other company.
However, the stance changed soon after the regulatory and probe agencies initiated enquiry in the matter. In January, upon receiving the panel report, the bank had revoked her existing and future entitlements such as any unpaid amounts, unpaid bonuses or increments, unvested and vested and unexercised stock options, and medical benefits.
Kochhar had denied the allegations following the first whistle-blower complaint originally made in 2016. Subsequently, the bank board had shown full support for its MD. The matter was investigated by multiple authorities including the income-tax department and the Securities and Exchange Board of India for months.
Currently, the Enforcement Directorate is probing the case under anti-money laundering laws and questioned Kochhar and her husband Deepak Kochhar last week.

Was Apple's 'Clarence-Thomas-Of-Tech' Diversity Chief Fired?
Was Apple's 'Clarence-Thomas-Of-Tech' Diversity Chief Fired?
Six months into her job as Apple's vice president of diversity and inclusion, Denise Young Smith has decided to resign. Or she was fired. Either way, she has drawn renewed attention to diversity leadership in tech.
Was Young Smith fired for her controversial remarks that appeared to defend Apple's overwhelmingly white and male leadership?
If so, that raises so many questions.
Isn't that what she was supposed to do in a public relations role?
Was she fired for failing to criticize the establishment?
How could she have misunderstood her role so completely?
Is Maxine Williams, Facebook's global director of diversity, next? When Williams faced increased scrutiny about Facebook's lack of diversity, she said the company is not in the business of giving away jobs. That comment didn't help Facebook's position with people of color.
Do a Google search and you'll see that the word "fired" shows up maybe twice in 20 news reports related to Young Smith's departure from Apple.
Young Smith's remarks caused an outcry because they suggested that being a minority or a woman are not the only criteria for diversity, according to New York Post.
Young Smith's comments do little to change Apple's overwhelmingly white male leadership team, Daily Mail reported. In 2017, 3 percent of Apple's leaders are Black. Women hold 23 percent of tech jobs and female leadership is at 29 percent, Apple said.
Half of Apple's new hires are from historically underrepresented groups in tech, the company said in its latest diversity report.
Young Smith's replacement is Christie Smith, who will not report directly to CEO Tim Cook, but instead to human resources boss Deirdre O'Brien, according to Fortune.
"The Black faces in Silicon Valley are in many cases no better than U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas," digital media entrepreneur Jamarlin Martin said in a recent Moguldom opinion piece.
Martin identified two models in diversity leadership.
"The Shallow Clarence Thomas Diversity (SCTD) company usually just reacts to press scrutiny and rarely comes out with bold thinking about inequality, diversity and inclusion, internally or externally. The SCTD company may have all white members on its board of directors going into 2018 and may agree to hire a non-white after feeling pressure or following others. There is no real genuine conviction (Facebook).

Pupils handed community garden opportunity
Published Friday 24 February 2017
School children are set to get planting and digging in the garden thanks to the district council.
Harborough District Council has agreed that its community garden in Little Bowden Recreational Ground should be provided for use by Little Bowden Primary School.
It is hoped pupils and teachers can use the garden for educational purposes with children becoming more green-fingered in the process.
Previously the garden, owned by the council, had been used for projects by Voluntary Action South Leicestershire (VASL) but they were unable to continue to use it.
When Little Bowden Primary School expressed an interest in taking over responsibility for the garden the council put things in motion to allow the pupils to take advantage of the site.
The council's environmental services contractor, FCC Environment, has volunteered to bring the garden back up to standard ready for the children to use.
Councillor Phil King, Harborough District Council's portfolio holder for assets, said: "We're delighted to make this land available to the school. This is a fantastic space for children to get stuck into gardening, as well as enjoy its wildlife, and understand all that this entails. This demonstrates one of our priorities to work with communities to improve our assets. I really hope the children enjoy, and benefit from, this garden."
Dan Gillert, FCC Environment's area manager, said: "We are extremely pleased to be supporting Little Bowden Primary School in the development of their community garden project. We look forward to seeing the space flourish as local children put their horticultural skills and environmental understanding into practise."
Hayley Brown, deputy head of Little Bowden Primary School, said: "Our school is surrounded by a fantastic park and recreational area but the actual space available for the children to use and play in has always been a challenge. This is a brilliant opportunity for us and we are very excited about developing this more fully in our curriculum and ensuring that our children can appreciate how our food gets from plot to pot."

Nigeria has a new opportunity to be great under Buhari- Obasanjo
May 24, 2015 Lana Afolabi News Comments Off on Nigeria has a new opportunity to be great under Buhari- Obasanjo
A former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has said the oil-rich nation has a new opportunity to be great again under the leadership of the President elect, Mohammadu Buhari.
He expressed this hope in a meeting with Women Leaders from the south-west states of Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo and Lagos at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
Mr Obasanjo, however, urged Nigerians to be patient with the administration, as it finds solution to those challenges facing the country.
The former President also asked all Nigerians to continue to pray and support the administration in its onerous task of rebuilding the nation's socio-economic and political life.
The Leader of the delegation of the Women, Mrs Alaba Lawson, asked the former President to continue to offer the leadership that would ensure the success of the new administration, especially in the task of ensuring growth and development in the face of its challenges facing Nigeria.
Addressing the delegation, Obasanjo asked Nigerians to be patient with the incoming administration, also urging Buhari to take right steps in the right direction, especially in his first three months in office, as Nigerians expectations are high.
While asking Nigerians to play their path in the development of the country, he, however, expressed his willingness to continue to offer support until his service is no longer needed.
He also asked the president-elect to leverage on his acceptability both at home and abroad by providing the much needed leadership and direction for Nigeria.

The southernmost island in the Cyclades group, Santorini is Greece's answer to honeymoon perfection. Built literally atop ash on a circular archipelago amid the remains of a volcanic caldera overlooking the Aegean Sea, Santorini architecture is stunning and almost beyond words.
Whitewashed buildings jet out from the cliffs while nearly-neon blue skies dazzle above sparkling black sand beaches. An artful experience from first sight, Santorini is one of those places that you have to see to believe. If Santorini is your choice, you won't get a honeymoon in a box. Instead, you will get one of those once in a lifetime experiences that can only be enjoyed in a place that is a world all its own.
Entertainment: The Open Air Cinema Kamari is one of the most unique outdoor movie theaters you will ever attend.English versions of movies containing Greek subtitles run from June until the first days of October, and at only seven euro a show, you can fill up on endless strawberry daiquiris while enjoying the beauty of the outdoors with your newly minted Mr. or Mrs. by your side.
Outdoors: You cannot visit Santorini without longing to climb high enough to drink in the amazing views. The hike from Fira to Oia is one of those trails that inspire awe around every bend. Somewhere in the ballpark of four hours long, wear comfy shoes, sunscreen, and your camera. Even if you consider yourself to be a novice photographer, the scenery above Santorini will do all the work for you.
However, if you don't consider yourself to be a surefooted hiker, then take the less taxing trail at Tramonto and Oia a scenic walking trail that leads you to amazing bars right on the water for a spectacular sunset.
Beaches & Bays: If you happen to be driving a car, be sure to wind yourself down to Amoudi Bay. One of the most beautiful places to eat and relax, the peacefulness of this bay is unprecedented in the area. With amazing taverns and apparently excellent calamari (try it at Sunset Taverna), not only is it impossible to take a bad picture here, it is impossible to not have a wonderful time.
Donkey Rides: Amoudi Bay is also known for its 300 steps down to the water. However, while some people take the challenge by foot, others get to the bottom (or top) by hiring the local four-legged friend to do the heavy lifting for them. The donkey rides in Santorini will be, by far, some of the most memorable moments and photos in the entire honeymoon lot. Perfect for garnering laughs for years to come, be sure to take a hop on and let your inhibitions go.
While some of the modern day opinion on taxes and social structure in Greece have left some parts in a bit of disarray, the beauty of Santorini and the charm of the locals here are worlds away from any nationwide financial strain. With gorgeous restaurants, hotels, and attractions, honeymooners will not find any place in the entire world that can translate earthly beauty with such a heavenly flair.
Since a honeymoon is synonymous with uncrowded streets and romantic evenings, fall is the best time to visit Santorini. The weather's warm and the crowds are few. If you plan on traveling during the peak season (summer), make your reservations at least two months in advance.

Using small claims court allows you settle insurance disputes legally. It is a rare small claims session that does not include at least one fender bender. Now if the resulting damage from your auto accident isn't that great, small claims court is the answer for your incurred expenses, especially if the accident is caused by the fault and negligence of another person. For catastrophic and serious car accidents, the steps to collect may be simple: Just call an car accident lawyer for small claims. In this article, you'll learn tips that will help you prepare for your day in small claims court in Eastport. Every state has a small claims court where you can file a car accident small claims lawsuit. Most accidents are minor and most drivers are insured, but sometimes a car crash can turn into a complicated mess. Judges do their best to make good decisions, but most cases only get a few minutes of court time.
If you've reached a stalemate with the insurance company, and settlement is no longer an option, you have to decide whether to file a lawsuit or walk away with nothing. Auto Accident Lawyer Claims won't even sign a rear-ender with whiplash anymore. And in states that have no-fault insurance, personal injury cases may not be allowed in court at all unless you"ve first complied with the requirements of your state"s no-fault insurance law. If you're lucky, you can walk away unscathed but sometimes, your vehicle may not fare half as well. Your total expenses may add up to just a few hundred dollars or less. You likely know that you're expected to prove your case by presenting evidence to the court in Duval County 32277. Use it if the insurance company doesn"t offer what you think is a fair settlement, as long as the amount you want to recover is within the dollar limit of your state"s small claims court.
How to Sue Someone for a Car Accident in Small Claims Court in Eastport?
Alternatively, a surety bond can be filed to prove a person can pay for any damages caused. There is no formal written discovery allowed in small claims cases (for example, no interrogatories, requests for production of documents, or requests for admission of fact). It is the first level of community court (or municipal court in the old days) where persons can have their disputes between each other heard by a Judge in a 1 day trial where the judge is the only decider.

Handling car accidents as small claims actions may be the way to go. Unfortunately, these cases are often badly prepared and presented by Auto Accident Lawyer For Small Claims in Duval County, with the result that the judge commonly makes a decision at least partially by guesswork. Generally, the complainant would only need to file an auto accident complaint with the small claims court if the defendant refuses to give proper compensation for the loss or damages. Most car accidents are minor, and result in short-term injuries, if any. If you're willing to put in the time to prepare your case, you'll increase your chances of success. Usually, you complete a fill-in-the-blanks form the Court Clerk will give you or you can get online. Liability insurance covers the other driver"s vehicle when the person causing the accident is at fault.
Is it worth it to take someone to small claims court in Eastport with the help of Auto Accident Lawyer For Small Claims?
The rules of evidence at trial are relaxed–judges know that many people bringing small claims cases are not trained Car Accident Lawyer For Small Claims, and they liberally allow much evidence that would be denied in other cases. When they finally got to court, most were overwhelmed by rules of evidence, motions, legal briefs, and other legalities from opposing attorneys. Insurance companies have a duty to settle claims reasonably. The average vehicle accident case that ends up in small claims court in Florida doesn"t involve personal injury but is about damage to one or both parties" vehicles.
If you have tried either of these and the defendant still refuses to pay for your damages, you may resort to filing the complaint in a small claims court. Your insurance policy may cover your own injuries and provide for a system to submit claims. In other words, the organizer breached (broke) the contract by failing to provide a trip in exchange for a fee. If you do not prove liability, you will lose, even if you have proven that you suffered damages.


Approximately 28,000 SUNY employees – including 598 in NYC – will see gradual bumps in their paychecks, under Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposal to increase the minimum wage of all state employees to $15 an hour.
Cuomo also wants to make New York the first state in the nation to enact a $15 minimum wage for all workers.
Upon approval of the SUNY increase, paid staff, student workers and work study participants will be paid $9.75 an hour beginning next month, with wages reaching $15 an hour on Dec. 31, 2018 in New York City and July 1, 2021 elsewhere in the state, mirroring wage hikes for fast food workers secured last year and the hikes for state workers announced in October.
"We are going to raise the minimum wage to bring economic opportunity back to millions of hardworking New Yorkers and lead the nation in the fight for fair pay," Cuomo said at a rally yesterday at the Manhattan headquarters of Local 1199 SEIU.
About 927,400 employees in NYC – and 2,362,900 employes statewide (one quarter of the state's workforce) - in all industries earn less than $15 an hour, according to the governor's office.

Titan Mining Announces C$6.3 Million Private Placement
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Vancouver, B.C., September 18, 2019 – Titan Mining Corporation (TSX:TI) ("Titan" or the "Company") announces a private placement of 18 million units at C$0.35 per unit, with each unit comprised of one common share and one-half of a warrant of the Company. Each full warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of C$0.50 per share for a period of five years from the closing date of the private placement. The net proceeds from the private placement will be used for ongoing development and exploration drilling at the Empire State Mine ("ESM") as well as general working capital. The private placement has been subscribed to by directors and officers of the Company including Richard Warke, Executive Chairman, and Don Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, and other supportive shareholders including Ross Beaty.
Richard Warke said, "Over the last year we did not get off to the start we had wanted at ESM. As Executive Chairman, I have taken a leadership role in loaning the Company money and leading equity offerings to ensure that Titan achieves its fullest potential. We changed our leadership at site, and hired a new mine manager and Vice President, Operations. The new management team at site is working on several key initiatives including a revised mine plan to be completed before the end of the year; updating the mobile equipment fleet to improve availability; hiring additional qualified staff and employees; and adjusting the work schedule to a five-day, two-shifts-per-day week. As a result of these and other initiatives, ESM is starting to turn the corner."
Don Taylor commented, "We have met or exceeded our budgeted production for the last six months, after adjusting throughput to match resource availability. Since the reset, we have achieved steady improvements in safety and production, and are making plans to increase throughput steadily for the remainder of 2019 and, again, in 2020. Near-mine underground exploration has been very successful to date, extending many of the known resources close to the underground workings as well as identifying new ones. The growth potential that Titan envisioned at ESM when it was purchased is even more evident today."
After digitizing over 9,000 historic maps and documents, the ESM exploration group has identified more than 40 priority targets that are slated for drill testing. Additionally, there are several near surface targets at and near the mine that may present open pit opportunities. These potential open pit targets represent a new and unique opportunity for ESM given that excess plant capacity exists. By trucking additional mineralized material to site, there is potential to increase total mill throughput without impacting the existing mining operation. Work is currently underway on pit design and production plans, with the goal of integrating them in late 2020 and beyond.
Richard Warke added, "When we bought ESM, we were excited not only about the fully permitted mine, but also about the exploration potential on the extensive land package in northern New York State. Now that the mine is operating on a consistent basis, we can turn our attention to exploring what we feel is a bright and exciting future."
