Kevin Durant Headlines NBA 2K20 Tournament Pitting Real NBA Players Against Each Other
The coronavirus pandemic means that in-person gatherings of more than the number of people who currently live in your household are a non-starter. That means live sporting events are canceled all around the world, leaving athletes and fans alike with nothing to do. Several motorsports, including NASCAR and F1, turned to online events, and some NBA players are gearing up to do the same. The popular video game NBA 2K20 is set to start an NBA2K Players Tournament that will begin on April 3.
The tournament will be played in the video game and will be aired via ESPN, which is starving for content right now. The tournament pits 16 NBA players in head-to-head competition with the first round starting on Friday. The game is backed by the NBA and the NBA Player's Association.
Participants and seeding was set by in-game player rating and league tenure. Players participating in the event include:
Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets (96)
Trae Young, Atlanta Hawks (90)
Hassan Whiteside, Portland Trail Blazers (87)
Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz (87)
Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns (86)
Andre Drummond, Cleveland Cavaliers (85)
Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls (85)
Montrezl Harrell, LA Clippers (85)
Domantas Sabonis, Indiana Pacers (85)
Deandre Ayton, Phoenix Suns (85)
DeMarcus Cousins (81)
Michael Porter Jr., Denver Nuggets (81)
Rui Hachimura, Washington Wizards (79)
Patrick Beverley, LA Clippers (78)
Harrison Barnes, Sacramento Kings (78)
Derrick Jones Jr., Miami Heat (78)
The timeline for the tournament includes the first game happening on Friday, April 3, on ESPN. The preview show will start at 7 PM with the first matchup featuring Derrick Jones Jr. vs. Kevin Durant starting at 7:30 PM and running until 8:30 PM. The tournament will continue from 8:30-11:30 PM Eastern time on ESPN2. On Sunday, April 5, on ESPN2, the tournament will air from 12-4 PM Eastern time. The quarterfinals will start on Tuesday, April 7, on ESPN2 7-11 PM ET. The semifinals and finals will happen on Saturday, April 11, with exact timing to be announced later.
Games will also be broadcast on NBA.com. The winner of the tournament gets to choose a charity to receive a $100,000 donation for coronavirus relief efforts. In other NBA2K news, the game honored the late Kobe Bryant in January after his tragic death.

White House Backs Classes Promoting Racial Animosity
Joy Pullmann of the Federalist ponders the Biden administration's latest attack on Florida's governor.
The White House made a target of Gov. Ron DeSantis again after his administration rejected a proposal to teach critical race theory in Florida high schools. On Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris said, "Unfortunately, in Florida, extremist so-called leaders ban books, block history classes, and prevent teachers from freely discussing who they are and who they love. Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America's future."
On Friday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed blocking the College Board's Advanced Placement African-American history class "is incomprehensible. … If you think about the study of black Americans, that is what he [DeSantis] wants to block."
In response, DeSantis Press Secretary Bryan Griffin noted that Florida public schools are required by law to teach African-American history as part of U.S. history. What Florida has banned, he pointed out, is teaching African-American history through a Marxist lens that pits racial groups against each other and assigns moral value to people's God-given skin color.
New documents from the College Board class Florida rejected were published Monday by Ethics and Public Policy Center scholar Stanley Kurtz. They reinforce DeSantis' argument, showing the AP African-American studies class is egregiously biased toward the extremist political left. It is written in such a way as to preach the racial division of critical race theory rather than enlighten students with the complex actual histories of African Americans. …
… Kurtz obtained a teacher manual for the class that backs up these assertions. The draft teacher manual for this class Harris and Jean-Pierre described as "American history," Kurtz says, includes a major section on Black Lives Matter, the massive Democrat-benefitting and riot-enabling activism organization started by two self-described Marxists.
The academics the teacher's manual tells teachers to assign in this class describe Black Lives Matter, or the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL), and its underlying Marxist aims in only positive terms, Kurtz writes. …
DeSantis Proved Correct in AP Course Clash
Biden Extends COVID Public Health Emergency


Yesterday we reported that Chad Elie had pleaded guilty in court on Monday and today we want to share news with everyone that the final payment processor to be indicted on Black Friday pleaded guilty in court on Tuesday. John Campos was the last payment processor to plead guilty and he received one of the better plea deals by waiting until the end. The trial for Campos & Elie was set to start on April 9th 2012, but now both men have pleaded guilty in court to avoid the trial.
John Campos pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour banking charge and as part of the plea deal the federal sentencing guidelines say that Campos will receive 0-6 months in jail. The judge that is presiding over the case doesn't have to follow the guidelines at sentencing although it's expected that Campos won't receive more than 12 months in jail at the maximum. Campos was a former co-owner of the SunFirst Bank in Utah and allegedly helped process millions of dollars for offshore poker websites.
Initially Campos and Elie were set to go to trial on April 9th because they felt they weren't guilty. It was recently announced that federal prosecutors were going to use Daniel Tzvetkoff as a witness and he was going to testify at the trial. Elie and Campos decided that they would be better off taking a plea deal than going to trial it seems. Both alleged payment processors for online poker sites received lenient plea deals in court and there was no reason to risk going to trial in my opinion.
In other news we wanted to briefly report that the PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) schedule has been released with tentative dates. PokerStars is taking suggestions from players this year before they release the final schedule. The 1st event is schedule to begin on May 20th 2012, so you have nearly two months to prepare for the huge tournament series.
We're going to release a full article on the PokerStars SCOOP 2012 schedule once the dates and events are finalized. There hasn't been any mention of how much money is going to be guaranteed this year, but I expect the amount to be bigger than last year, as the guaranteed prize pools were smashed in most of the tournaments. Currently there are 38 events scheduled for this year at three different buy-in levels, which means there is currently a total of 114 tourneys on the 2012 PokerStars SCOOP schedule.


This is a great dog collar for winter with pretty snowflakes on a cute pink background. Snowflake collars are always great because the cheerful designs look great all winter long. This would be great on so many dogs. The last pictures shows the coordinating print in blue.
All my Rescue Me dog collars are handmade. Each one is individually measured and then hand cut. I've used cotton quilting fabric over webbing. There are several different images on the fabric and because of natural pattern variations your collar may appear different than the one pictured. The fabric is pinned onto polypropylene (poloypro) webbing. This is a great webbing for dog collars because, of all the choices, it is the least likely to cause an allergic reaction in your dog. It is also the fastest drying and unlikely to harbor molds or bacteria. I've shown this collar using 1 inch wide base webbing.Then each item is sewn by me using my sewing machine, and all hardware securely placed.

A Passion for the Past as the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion Concludes
Event News August 16, 2015
It was significant that Zak Brown's Lola T332, in the hands of Richard Dean, won Sunday's Formula 5000 race at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion: when the last professional Formula 5000 race was held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca 40 years ago (October 12, 1975), it was won by Mario Andretti in the same car. Snapshots into the past are at the heart of vintage automobile racing, and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion managed to reel off plenty of those over four competition days – two devoted to practice sessions followed by the August 15-16 weekend of Rolex races – for 15 groups of cars representing nearly a century of motorsports history.
"Passion for endurance, innovation and tradition are a few of the values Rolex shares with partnerships in Formula 1, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex 24 At Daytona, the Goodwood Revival, and, of course, the cornerstone events here at Monterey Classic Car Week, of which the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is one," said Rolex Watch USA President and Chief Executive Officer Stewart Wicht. "Rolex has had a long and cherished relationship with this event, which forms an essential part of our involvement in motorsports and, in particular, the world of classic and vintage cars. Distinctively, this is the only one of our global events where automobile owners devoted to authenticity, race provenance and period correctness allow their prized possessions to race as they used to 'back in the day,' providing an annual occasion for the convergence of some rather remarkable occurrences."
Said Dean of the Lola T332's performance: "This is an unbelievable car to drive, and I'm pleased that we qualified on pole position (Thursday) to keep up the history of this car with a win today. The Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca circuit suits this car perfectly; I got to do a shakedown test on an airfield after the car's restoration, but this was my first race in the Lola." (At last weekend's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion, Zak Brown qualified for two pole positions and went on to win two races with the car.)
Yesterday, another memorable scenario from the 1970s, made relevant to a younger audience in the Ron Howard movie Rush (released in 2013), played out when James Hunt's McLaren M26 finished ahead of Niki Lauda's Ferrari 312 T2 in the much anticipated Formula 1 race here. Hunt and Lauda were not driving the cars, of course – that was Robert Kauffman and Chris MacAllister, respectively – but for a moment, it was nice to pretend that the 34 3-litre Formula 1 cars on the grid were the same as those in the field when Hunt, a handsome English playboy, beat Lauda, a methodically brilliant Austrian driver, by one point in the 1976 World Championship.
"This is a great car because of its history," said MacAllister about his Ferrari. "Of all the Formula 1 cars out there I cannot think of another one I would rather have; it's a gas to drive and it's pretty to look at. I did have a McLaren before this but find this Ferrari a much better-handling car. There is a rhythm and a feel that is more responsive. I don't drive the car enough to wring its neck, but I plan to have more seat time in it so I can get to that level."
Robert Kauffman does not own the McLaren M26 he raced (that would be Zak Brown, who brought a total of six cars to this event from his home in England), but he says those in possession of these fine cars are just custodians "until someone else gets to run them."
"It's amazing to experience these historic cars behind the wheel and get a feel for them," said Kauffman, "but I always maintain a margin of error, because I do not want to be that guy who is known for crashing the James Hunt car. The guys who raced these cars in the day were truly incredible, because these Formula 1 cars are really a handful."
Shelby Mustang GT350s, as the event's special marque, also enthralled large audiences during their race on Saturday, but it was Californian Dick Deluna and his 1917 Hall-Scott The Four-A-7A, racing Saturday (in Group 1A for Sports Racing and Touring Cars pre-1940), that stole the show overall. He was awarded the most coveted "Spirit of Monterey" prize, determined by an independent panel to honor the single driver who most "excelled in the spirit of the weekend."
"This 1917 Hall-Scott The Four-A-7A is just a hoot to drive and it's a crowd pleaser," said Deluna, after receiving a specially engraved 18k yellow gold and stainless steel Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona. "I love racing, and I love cars. For me the award is the epitome of appreciation from folks who value what I have been doing with cars. I don't pay homage to any particular car, so I bring out any car that meets the need of any particular venue. Touring, racing or shows. It's my passion and my love and I feel fortunate that I am able to go all over the world to do this."
In a similar vein to rewarding participation for the sake of passion, Rolex Awards of Excellence were awarded in each of the 15 race categories, going not necessarily to those who won but to those "most deserving." The Rolex Awards gathering concluded with the announcement that Bavarian Motor Works, better known as BMW, will be honored on the occasion of its 100th anniversary as the special marque at next year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, scheduled for August 18-21.

Q: JavaScript: Append content as child of nextSibling I'm trying append to the next element of multiple divs. So far I have this:
HTML

After the function runs, the content should look like this:

My content

My content

My content

This is my function thus far:
var blue = document.querySelectorAll("[data-color='blue']");

var next = blue.nextSibling;

for (var i=blue.length; i--;) {
    var insertdiv = document.createElement('p');
    insertdiv.className   = 'content';
    insertdiv.textContent = 'My Content';

    next[i].parentNode.appendChild(insertdiv, blue[i]);
}

Can't get this to work properly though.
No jQuery please.

A: querySelectorAll returns a list of elements. That list doesn't have a nextSibling property, so your second line gives you undefined in next.
var blues, i, insertDiv;
blues = document.querySelectorAll("[data-color='blue']");
for (i = 0; i < blues.length; ++i) {
    if (blues[i].nextSibling) {
        console.log(blues[i].nextElementSibling.tagName);
        insertDiv = document.createElement('p');
        insertDiv.className   = 'content';
        insertDiv.textContent = 'My Content';
        blues[i].nextElementSibling.appendChild(insertDiv);
    }
}

A: There as several logical errors in your code. @T.J. Crowder has described them perfectly.
However, in your case I would rather use CSS next sibling selector in querySelectorAll:
var next = document.querySelectorAll("[data-color='blue'] + *");
for (var i = 0, len = next.length; i < len; i++) {
    var insertdiv = document.createElement('p');
    insertdiv.className   = 'content';
    insertdiv.textContent = 'My Content';
    next[i].appendChild(insertdiv);
}

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/8uywP/

A: Why don't you just add them to the .yellow divs? Like this:
var yellow = document.getElementsByClassName("yellow");

for (var i=0, l = yellow.length; i<l; i++) {
    var insertdiv = document.createElement('p');
    insertdiv.className   = 'content';
    insertdiv.textContent = 'My Content';

    yellow[i].appendChild(insertdiv);
}

Working Fiddle example
There is no need to "Traverse" the dom like that if you have a class available on the elements you need.

Did A Comet Cause The Carolina Bays?
George Howard is many things. He is the president of the Raleigh-based Restoration Systems mitigation bank and a conservationist; he is a history buff, a science geek, a cartographer. The 42-year-old family man is a talented amateur artist, a dedicated if unprolific fisherman and a politico whose office photos show him chummy with folks including Jesse Helms, Newt Gingrich, Lauch Faircloth and both George Bushes.
But what really gets Howard going - gets him talking a mile a minute, playing hooky from work and waking up at night - is his research into a geographical oddity known as the Carolina Bays.
These elliptical, wetland depressions, often rimmed with white, crystalline sand, are sprinkled along much of the North Carolina coast and parts of the eastern seaboard from Georgia to the District of Columbia. To Howard and those who share both his interest and his theory, these droplet-shaped dents (often choked with bay trees, hence the name) were most likely caused by a life-obliterating comet that landed on earth about 13,000 years ago: in geologic terms, quite recently. Howard wants to prove this, and he wants the world to take note.
He also knows how his theory can sound: nuts. (His word.) But it's not, and he's not. In fact, the theory has some impressive bona fides: The National Academy of Sciences published a paper he a nd a small group of fellow researchers wrote on their findings. National Geographic has produced a documentary on the subject, and Howard and his research team were recently asked to speak on the subject at the prestigious American Geophysical Union's fall meeting.
But he also knows that real believing requires seeing. His favorite quotation, borrowed from the state motto of North Carolina, is "Esse Quam Videri," - "to be rather than to seem." He wants to show the evidence to prove his case. And so he is delighted for the chance to show an interested party just what he's talking about: these Carolina Bays, from above.
"You ready for the Grand Carolina Bays Tour?" Howard grins as the journey begins. The drive from downtown Raleigh to Fayetteville Regional Airport takes about an hour and a half - not nearly enough time for Howard to begin to say all he wants to say about what we're about to see. His primer begins with a basic refresher course on the evolution of the planet, veers into mythology, geology, ancient cultures, climate science, dinosaurs, botany; sidesteps frequently into humor and pop culture - and ends up deadly serious.
Howard would be aghast at the idea that it could be summed up, but here goes: 13,000 years ago, he says, a "cataclysmic event" happened when a comet hit the earth somewhere in the vicinity of the Great Lakes. It hit an ice sheet, acting like a big kid's cannon ball in the shallow end of a pool, throwing off a vast airborne splatter of "flying detritus," including extra-terrestrial particles that landed as far away as North Carolina. It's also possible that it created a shockwave that rippled across the landscape, dimpling it in the process, or that a little bit of both happened. Howard says it is certain that the comet decimated everything in its path, including the mammoths and the Clovis people, a well-documented Paleo-Indian civilization.
Believing that such a thing happened as recently as 13,000 years ago implies that it could happen again, and possibly soon: not something most people are prepared to contemplate. But it's clear that for Howard, zipping down Interstate 95 and half-listening to CNBC's market-meltdown report on the radio, this possibility is neither abstract nor unimaginable. He waves his hand out the window, vaguely northward. "You wonder what came flying from that direction and landed here in these fields. Or what hell storm swept through and left these depressions."
Howard's fascination with that hell storm, these depressions and what it means for the future of our planet began years ago as a staffer for Lauch Faircloth in the US Senate. Studying a US Geological Survey map of Faircloth's farm, he noticed something unusual. "What are all those elliptical dotted lines on your farm, Senator?" he asked. Faircloth's casual reply: "Oh, you know, meteor holes."
Howard's "natural ferocious curiosity" took over, and he quickly became an expert on the subject. These "meteor holes," mostly too shallow to notice at ground-level, are clearly evident from above. First observed in the 1930s when the agricultural programs of the New Deal mandated county-by-county aerial photographs, they caused a sensation at the time. The number (more than 500,000 is the estimate), the symmetry, the fact that they all point in the same direction (toward Lake Michigan) - all gripped the public imagination, culminating in a 1933 piece in Harper's Monthly entitled "The Comet That Hit the Carolinas," by Edna Muldrow. But the scientific establishment ultimately pooh-poohed the comet theory, arguing that the bays were caused by wind, water and erosion over time, and the subject fell off the public radar.
If Howard has his way, that will change.
When we arrive at the airport, the fall weather is unseasonably warm. The skies are bright and clear, with a slight breeze, like a day in May. Our chartered plane is miniscule. It's so small we have to climb over its balsa-thin wings to pop into our seats through a Plexiglas-bubble hatch-top. We barely fit inside. Takeoff feels like racing down an empty street in a Matchbox car, until the thing lifts off - then it's just like floating.
We meander above the airport before crossing over I-95 and heading south into "Bays Territory." At first, nothing jumps out. And then it does. Two blurred, white-sand-edged ellipses, about 100-yards long and 30-yards wide, chase each other across a field of soy. Another one nearby forms a visible swamp. A ghostly pair of ovals lurk in a cleared field. Once you know what to look for, they're impossible to miss.
"They're everywhere," Howard says gleefully, snapping away with a long lens camera. The jigsaw of green fields, punctuated here and there by these graceful, sandy shapes, is a beautiful sight, but as we head over the border into South Carolina, Howard points out a less lovely landmark: "Make sure not to miss the big purple lagoons of pig piss!" He's not kidding. Countless pig farms pepper the horizon, their low-slung, silver-roofed pig houses each accompanied by a large, strangely purple, chemically treated lagoon of waste.
But as our flight path takes us over the Cape Fear River, the Bays are once again quite noticeable. They've multiplied, lying side-by-side now, then in rows, then in clusters. The chalk-white sand that surrounds many of them stands them out in stark relief; others are made distinct by the darker color of vegetation within their borders.
Bays are fertile ground, Howard points out. Blueberries in particular grow well in them. So do carnivorous plants: Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews. "The highest concentration of Venus flytraps in the United States are found in Eastern North Carolina," he says. (According to the International Carnivorous Plant Society, this is in fact the case.) Is he implying that these plants literally ... came from Venus? "Well," he demurs, "that's far into the realm of speculation."
But Howard does not consider it speculation to point out the other extra-terrestrial evidence he says are harbored in the Bays: tiny magnetic spheres, iridium-laced grains and nanodiamonds. The chemical composition of these materials, as the science press has noted, is most similar to lunar rocks and meteorites. Howard describes nanodiamonds as a veritable diamond dust that lines the bottoms of the Bays - too minute to have any value except as proof of great carbon impact. He regularly sends Ziploc bags full of the stuff to Arizona geophysicist Allen West and to a lab at UC Berkeley for testing. In the past four years Howard estimates he's sent off more than a ton of sand from the Bays.
But despite his efforts and those of his fellow researchers, including scientists from the University of South Carolina, UC Berkeley, Brown University and UCLA, among others, the endorsement of the broader scientific community remains elusive. "It's hard for people who are steeped in their own paradigm to accept a radically different way of viewing the past," he says. He also points to a lack of understanding, knowledge and communication between different areas of the science establishment. As Howard puts it, "the astronomers won't look down and the geologists won't look up."
If Howard's efforts bear fruit, we'll all start taking a cautious look skyward, and not a moment too soon. "There should be more attention paid to planetary protection," he says. "We're way behind the curve on that. The number of people working on it could staff a McDonald's." NASA does provide the global majority of research funding into near-earth-object detection and disaster prevention, but Howard's not alone in fearing it's not nearly enough.
"I am a catastrophist," Howard concedes. "I think that things have happened in the past that were horrible and were recorded for us. We don't recognize the tune, but it's all there in myth and fable." And, he is certain: It's also recorded in the elliptical, wetland pocks that speckle our coastline; it's recorded in the magnetic, extra-terrestrial matter he says is embedded in the Mammoth tusk that hangs over his television; it's recorded in the diamond dust he FedExes across the country. The evidence is all there, he says, you just have to know how to look for it.
Indeed, Howard's wife kids him that he sees Carolina Bays everywhere he looks, even in the shapes of the raindrops on the windshield of his car. He smiles at the thought, forcing himself to end the day-long tutorial as his Grand Carolina Bays Tour draws to a close. "You ain't even heard half of it," he says, and he's not kidding.
That's because those companies ARE the federal reserve! The income taxes are for US, the peon slaves who are not part of their system.
If the victims were white, it will have been different.

Clarkson ist eine Stadt in der Gemeinde Kou-Kamma in der Provinz Ostkap in Südafrika. 2011 lebten hier 1824 Einwohner. Sie liegt 60 Kilometer westlich von Humansdorp.

Geschichte
1839 wurde hier eine Missionsstation der Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine (Moravian Church) gegründet. Der Ort wurde nach Thomas Clarkson, einem englischen Kämpfer gegen die Sklaverei benannt. Dieser spendete 200 Pfund für die Gründung. Clarkson wurde ein Freiort für ehemalige Sklaven.  1864 wurde eine Schule gebaut. 1875 lebten hier 340 Einwohner.

Während der beiden Weltkriege wurden die deutschen Bewohner interniert. 1970 gab die Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine die Leitung des Ortes auf, 1996 ging er in die Verwaltung der kommunalen Gemeinde über.
In der Gegenwart leben vor allem Schwarze und Farbige im Ort. Die Arbeitslosigkeit  ist hoch.

The revolutionary events of 1917 in Russia were associated with the destruction of traditional statehood and the legal system. The central political issue was the question of the supreme power and the form of government. However, it turned out to be impossible to solve it quickly and painlessly. Events developed rapidly. Over the course of the year, about a dozen government members have changed in the country. What was the logic behind these changes? Whom did the Bolsheviks overthrow? Could the Constituent Assembly have made a difference?
The lecture was organized with the support of the Russian Society "Knowledge"
Address: Tverskaya, 21

The Giant Sequoia National Monument was designated by President William Jefferson Clinton in April 2000. The Monument now encompasses 328,315 acres. The giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is the world's largest tree. It grows naturally only in a narrow 60-mile band of mixed conifer forest on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. The Giant Sequoia National Monument Management Plan was completed in August 2012. Click here for more information.
There are 33 giant sequoia grovesin the Giant Sequoia National Monument. Six groves are featured here for you to explore for a rich, exciting, and varied experience: three groves in the northern portion of the Monument in the Hume Lake Ranger District, near Dunlap, California; and three groves in the southern portion of the Monument in the Western Divide Ranger District just east of Springville, California.
The amazing giant sequoia is one of the largest organisms on earth and grows from a seed less than half-an-inch long! When fully grown, the sequoia pushes its craggy tree top more than 250 feet into the sky. A few rare specimens have grown taller than 300 feet. But it is the sequoia's huge girth that sets it apart from all other trees. Sequoias are commonly more than 20 feet in diameter and at least one has grown to 35 feet across. Six people would have to lay head-to-toe to match this width.
Northern Portion: In the late 1800s, privately-owned logging operations took place in Converse Basin. By 1908, the area had been thoroughly logged. Visitors can see remnants of this logging today. Cut sections of one of the famous giants, the General Noble tree, were reassembled at the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Today, visitors can view the remaining 20-foot "Chicago Stump" in Converse Basin. The trail to the stump is universally accessible.
The Boole Tree is the last of the large giant sequoias in Converse Basin that has grown since the 1890s. It is the largest tree on National Forest System land and is recognized as one of the largest trees in the world.
Indian Basin Grove is one of the few groves with a campground. Princess Campground has three campground loops: Shining Cloud, Yellow Moon, and Morning Star. It has the greatest number of large sequoia tree stumps, as well as young sequoia trees and a variety of conifers. Shade is good throughout the campground; privacy between camp sites is fair to good. Princess Campground lies in the middle of Indian Basin Grove beside Indian Basin Meadow and Creek. Campfire talks and guided hikes are offered most weekends from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend (this campground is currently under construction, so please check when it will be open).
Southern Portion: The Trail of a Hundred Giants across from Redwood Meadow Campground on the Western Divide Highway provides interpretation of life among the giant sequoias. This self-guided loop trail is about 1.3 miles long and portions of the trail are fully accessible. In April 2000, President Bill Clinton signed the Presidential Proclamation establishing the Giant Sequoia National Monument at this site.
The Belknap Grove is a complex of multiple groves. Belknap Campground is in this grove. Beautiful trails through old growth sequoias meander along Bear Creek and the Tule River. This grove is fairly easy to get to on paved roads. You can visit this grove year-round, but there may be snow and ice on the roads in winter, so please check in advance and bring your tire chains.
The Freeman Creek Grove is the easternmost grove of giant sequoias and contains the President George H.W. Bush Tree. In 1992, President Bush signed a Presidential Proclamation here that provided management direction for all giant sequoia groves in national forests.
History: For centuries, the giant sequoia was known only by the Native Americans, and was not seen by European descendants until the mid-1800s. Since then these ancient giants have known a history of logging and renewal, of common use and veneration, and of human conquering and legal patronage. Wide-spread logging before the turn of the century inspired the public to clamor for their protection. Three national forests, three national parks, and various state holdings have met that demand.
Present Day: The Forest Service manages 33 giant sequoia groves and other objects of interest in the Giant Sequoia National Monument for their protection, restoration, and preservation. The sequoia groves inside Monument boundaries are: Abbot Creek, Agnew, Bearskin, Big Stump, Cherry Gap, Converse Basin, Deer Meadow, Evans Complex, Grant, Indian Basin, Landslide, Monarch, and Redwood Mountain in the northern portion of the Monument; and Alder Creek, Belknap Complex, Black Mountain, Burro Creek, Cunningham, Deer Creek, Dillonwood, Freeman Creek, Long Meadow, Maggie Mountain, Middle Tule, Mountain Home, Packsaddle, Peyrone, Red Hill, Silver Creek, South Peyrone, Starvation Complex, Upper Tule, and Wishon in the southern portion of the Monument.
Trail of 100 Giants: walk and learn about giant sequoias.
Roads are subject to snow closures during winter months.
Mountain bikes are allowed on all of the designated trails in the Monument.

EXCERPT FROM NANOWRIMO PROJECT
*Please note that none of this is edited and therefore not necessarily my best work.*
Death. It wasn't something Alan had ever spent much time thinking about. No one close to him had ever died before. He wondered what it was like to die. Whether the person dying even knew what happened to them, and whether it hurt. Was it some sort of boring, rehearsed affair where you just sort of slipped out of consciousness, or was it something else entirely?
It was very cold in his room. The walls were too plain and blue. He felt like the world was trying to pacify him against his will. He fought the urge to take a hammer to the walls and scream Christopher's name over and over again. It felt like someone had taken their hammer to him. He just wanted to fight back, but the loss left him battered and bruised, lying with his knees tucked up to his chest.
He hadn't eaten for days, or been to school. He hadn't bathed. He smelled vaguely like someone who had spent hours out in the cold damp. He was cold. He was bereaved.
Bereaved.
The word implied some sort of contract between Alan and Christopher, a marriage. It made him sound like a widow. He felt like a widow. Where was his rock, where was the solid body that buffered him against the outside world? It felt like Christopher was still there but hiding, and if Alan reached out far enough he might find him there. But his eyes were dim, he couldn't quite see what was happening around him, and his arms flopped lifelessly in space. The energy of holding them had got to be too much. If Christopher remained nearby, he wasn't planning on coming out soon. He didn't want to be found.
The window was open. The curtains were hanging on either side remained open and mocking, even though it was well into the night. He could hear the sounds of a late night street outside; sporadic traffic soaring almost smoothly through the night, and the roar of crickets. A single street light remained on. The wind lapped at the curtains like a hungry cat, urging them outside, and Alan wanted to get up and follow them.
He imagined himself climbing out the window and standing there in paisley pyjamas, on the ledge two storeys above the quiet street. The danger flushed through him. He felt a little more alive, a little closer to Christopher. He smiled but looked deranged.
Out on the ledge, he would curl his toes around the stones that projected out behind him and feel as if electricity was coursing through him from his spine where it met his neck to his curling toes. He would hold onto the window frame with his arms behind him and lean outwards, willing gravity to take him downwards. Maybe it would rain. Maybe there would be thunder and he would turn his face upwards to the sky in time to see the lightning flash across it. The wind would begin to howl about him as the skies prepared themselves to receive him and he would laugh. Rain would splash across his tongue but it would taste like dust. Slowly, he would release himself, finger by finger.
As his face leaned out further and further he would see Christopher, waiting for him and smiling and Alan would know he had finally found a place where he belonged. He would let go with zest, find himself plummeting past the spectre of his friend and end it all face down in the cement below. Then, he could be at peace. He could be with Christopher for the rest of eternity. He smiled and sighed, though his face was encrusted in one place through so many tears, and rolled over.
Facing the window, he considered it. For the first time in days, he pulled himself to his feet and padded softly over to the gaping hole. The wind that rippled around him was brisk and chilling. His eyes had opened wide, trancelike, and dead. He was outside himself. He watched himself walking to the window and all its promises.
One foot on the ledge, he reached one arm up to find something to lever himself up to the outer part of the window. His fingers turned white against the frame of the window as he looked down and realised how much higher he should have been. This fall wasn't going to kill him.
He leaned out further, holding on with locked arms and looking around for Christopher. No one appeared this time. It had seemed much higher in his mind. He felt betrayed. Just out of sheer disappointment, he let go with his left hand and hung halfway out over the ledge, just looking at the ground.
"I can't find you," he whispered, feeling as though he was deranged; Christopher wasn't there and he couldn't hear him. It was a waste of time trying to send him messages.


I once saw an interview with Simon Nye – the guy who wrote Men Behaving Badly. He was asked what made a successful TV sitcom.
He said that the secret was that you never had to be more than a minute away from the next laugh, and that ideally you should feel physically attracted to at least one of the characters in the show. On the basis of the latter you have to think he was pretty brave casting Martin Clunes in MBB but there you go, I suppose it takes all sorts.
The reason I bring this up is that I often think of these principles when I'm sitting in a series of development marketing pitches. Every time we land the agency gig on a big scheme there's the inevitable procession of marketing consultants pitching to do the brochure, the website, the launch event, the social media, the give-away mug/USB stick/stress toy etc etc.
And it's a stress toy that you need to get you through these pitches. For a start-off, I always think we see too many people (we had seven agencies pitch for a recent job). It all becomes a blur of 'market penetration, heliotrope accents and vegetarian meal options'.
the energy, the fun, the recognition that what we're doing here is marketing a building not forming a new religion?
So while reflecting on this I realised that marketing pitches can be a bit like sitcoms. The agencies usually 'bring the family': there's the senior 'Mum/Dad' figure (that's what 'MD' stands for) and then there's the kids ('Sam is our senior designer and Lucy would be your account manager').
Three of us from here usually sit in on the pitches which is a disaster as M***** is openly hostile to the whole concept of marketing consultants. He always does the same thing: he waits until the presentation is finished and then says:'It's the wrong colour'.
No matter how much the 'creatives' then probe this statement or suggest alternatives, my colleague maintains a sphinx-like silence.
Anyway, having accepted that using Nye's other principle about feeling physically attracted to a chosen supplier might be a tad unprofessional, I've had an epiphany about appointing development marketing consultants: let's just go to the people who we know can do the job and do it well.
We don't ask our lawyers to re-pitch every time we need them to work on a project (and god knows none of that lot make me laugh or get me hot). Track record and capability is what counts.
I put this strategy to my colleagues and they were appalled at the idea. "But it's so much fun watching the pitches – and it makes us look busy," said one.

The temple is located in Santo Domingo Plaza, in the actual precinct of the "Temple and Convent of Santo Domingo", which was administered by the Archbishopric of Cusco. When the Spanish reached Cusco, the order of the "Dominicos" commanded the building of Santo Domingo Church, on the foundations of the Qorikancha Temple, preserving only a part of its greatness, which today continues to amaze the world.
According to Inca conception, the Qorikancha was the religious, geographical and political center of Cusco. It was the place where homage was paid to the highest of Inca deities, the "Inti" (Sun). Etymologically, the word "Qorikancha" is divided as follows: "Qori" means "worked gold"- its Spanish form is "cori". "Kancha" means place enclosed or limited by walls- its Spanish form is "cancha", which suggests that the name approximately corresponds to "fenced place that contains gold". It is said that when the Spanish reached the Temple of Qorikancha, they had never seen so much gold in one place; the walls of the temple were covered with a layer of gold that illuminated the entire enclosure and in its extensive gardens there were representations of animals and cornfields made of pure gold. Most of the pieces were sent to Spain, as a "thank you" to the king for allowing the expeditions of conquest.
According to chroniclers as Luis E. Valcarcel, the "Inca Huayna Capac", son of Tupac Inca Yupanqui and grandson of Pachacutec, was in charge of giving special importance to the temple and tried to centralize the empire of the Incas in this place, so he ordered that all riches of the empire be sent to Qorikancha, unprecedented fact that favored some revolutionary movements in the Empire. After the death of Huayna Capac, it was not clear which one of his sons (Huascar or Atahualpa) should gain power, which caused the decline of the empire and the easy conquest by the Spanish.
The description made by "Inca Garcilaso de la Vega" is in harmony with what is still standing today. Although, in reality, today Qorikancha is only a pale reflection of what it actually was in Inca times.
It was the main Temple of entire Qorikancha, occupying more than half the width of the current Church of Santo Domingo. Garcilaso says that in this temple were the embalmed bodies of the children of the Sun positioned by seniority on chairs and tables of gold, the walls were covered with gold plates; there was a disc representing the figure of the sun in a golden plate thicker than the other plates that covered the temple. The western end corresponds to the current drum overlooking Avenida de Sol; its eastern end reached the current atrium of the church.
This temple was closer to the Temple of the Sun, as it was considered the wife of Sun, the Moon. This building was lined with silver boards, existing representation of the moon made in silver. Among the mummies were kept of the arrayed old Coyas. About half of the temple was demolished by the Spanish to build the nave of the church of Santo Domingo. It occupies part of the western side of the courtyard of the Qorichancha.
It is close to the Temple of the Moon, but separated by a beautiful alley, dedicated to Venus and the seven goats and all other stars. The Incas called Venus "chasca", which means "star". In this temple stood the Inca, according to references from historians, for they were to be divinized and festivals or sacrifices were made in the rectangular courtyard. It occupies part of the western side of the courtyard of the Qorichancha.
Illapa or Chuki Illapa meant at the same time, lightning and thunder. The temple in question is in front of the Temple of Venus; it has 3 simple doors of jamba (1 level), equidistant and slightly trapezoidal. It also has a window on each side wall.
In this temple the rainbow was worshiped, which according to ancient belief came from the sun; it has identical architectural characters as Illapa Temple. A part of this temple was demolished by the Spanish to build Dominican Convent buildings. It is north of the Temple of Illapa and opposite the Temple of the Moon, eastern side of the inner courtyard of the Qorichancha.
Almost all the world's villages, in all time periods, built spacious squares in front of the temples. Intipanpa or Intipampa (the name translates as Plain of the Sun) is the place where the stagings and rituals were developed in the presence of the Inca and his entourage. This place currently corresponds to the Plaza de Santo Domingo, apparently its limits and extent have not changed much. It lies to the North from where Qorikancha was.
It became the great reservoir of offerings of all subject nations and Confederate nations brought to the Sun God; the offerings consisted of representations of Tahuantinsuyo flora and fauna. According to some historians, these offerings made in gold and silver were life size and they were so many that they filled the entire garden in a surprising way. In colonial time it became the Dominican friars' garden. Located in the western part of Qorikancha, it can be seen from Avenida el Sol in its entirety.
There were five water fountains, the origins of water sources was a kept secret. The fountains had religious significance and were decorated with precious metals. They were located in the entire extension of Qorikancha; now we can see a fountain with octagonal corners in the courtyard of Qorikancha.
Admission time to Qorikancha is: Monday- Saturday 8:30a.m.-5:30p.m. Sunday: 2p.m.-5p.m.

#116 Maria
Request: Highchairs / Gift Cards towards a double cot / Tesco Gift Cards
This week, we want to help an 18 year woman called Maria who has just come out of the care system.
Maria went into care at age 17. She was pregnant with twins and there was a great deal of conflict between her and her mother, and between her and the baby's father, so she had nowhere to turn. So she was put into care, and felt incredibly alone.
The twins were born very prematurely, while Maria was living in B&B accommodation. She had to make long journeys each day to the special care unit to be able to see them. The baby's father had been through significant trauma in the past few years (I can't give further details for confidentiality reasons, as it may identify him), so he wasn't in touch at all while Maria was pregnant, but since the twins have been born he has had some contact with them.
Maria has now been placed in temporary accommodation in a different borough. Because of some admin problems with claiming her benefits, Maria fell into arrears on her council tax and service charges, and she can't be moved into permanent accommodation until this is paid off. While she is paying these charges, she has nothing leftover to be able to but the things she needs for the twins. On top of all this, she is also often called upon to help out with her little brother.
Maria's health worker said she is making the best of the situation but the accommodation she is in is tiny. She keeps it well organised, but the bedroom is incredibly small - so small she can't fit 2 cots. Her life would be a lot easier if she had a double cot, but they are well beyond what she can afford. She also needs two highchairs that fold very flat.
Maria is doing really well, under very difficult circumstances. But she is so young and has very little support.
We want to give her some help.
1. 2 fold-flat compact high chairs from Amazon, and gift cards towards a double cot.
2. Gift cards for groceries - if we can cover the cost of her food, she will be able to pay of the charges she has accrued.
Thanks to all of you, Maria's twins have the highchairs they need, she has hundreds of pounds in gift cards to help make their life a little bit easier, and we will also be able to help her buy the double cot she needs. We also received some beautiful letters of support for her.
Thanks so much to Catherine, Caroline Woodhouse, Laura, Joyce, Nick, Julie, Imogen, Jasper, Caroline Landymore, Julia, Stephanie, Katrina, and all of the other wonderful donors who would prefer not to be named. You have helped change this young mum's life and shown her that there are a lot of people out there who do care about her, at a time when she needed it the most.

Ever since we learned that the cast of 2003's Love Actually are reuniting to film the highly-anticipated sequel for this year's Comic Relief, we've been desperate for spoilers.
And what happened to the small, unnamed octopus child that taught us eight really is a lot of legs?
Thank goodness, then, that a second trailer for Red Nose Day Actually has landed.
And, this time around, it seems as if Juliet (Keira Knightley) is the one holding all the cards.
Literally. She's literally holding all the cards.
Yes, it's only 50 seconds long – but, considering the film itself will be about 10 minutes in total, it makes sense to keep trailers on the short side.
And it's probably left fans feeling as if "love, actually, is all around" (sorry).
It is, of course, not the first trailer that the Love Actually 2 gods (otherwise known as Emma Freud and Richard Curtis) have treated us to.
Just last week, we were treated to a clip of Andrew Lincoln as Mark.
And… well, we don't want to ruin all of Curtis' mushy magic.
The music. The cards. A well-dressed Lincoln without a zombie in sight. Yup, it genuinely does feel as if we've hopped in a time machine and shot back into the early Noughties, doesn't it?
However it's safe to say that Lincoln hasn't given away too many details about the mini-sequel we've all been waiting for. We guess we'll have to wait for Love Actually 2 to hit our screens later this month before we find out what's actually (ha, see what we did there?) going on.
Speaking about the project, director Richard Curtis said: "I would never have dreamt of writing a sequel to Love Actually, but I thought it might be fun to do 10 minutes to see what everyone is now up to. Who has aged best? I guess that's the big question… or is it so obviously Liam?
The 10-minute Love Actually 2 movie will air during BBC One's live Red Nose Day in aid of Comic Relief on 24 March.

Zebedäus ist eine biblische Person, die im Neuen Testament erwähnt wird.

Etymologie
Der Personenname Zebedäus () ist die griechische Form des hebräischen Namens . Es handelt sich bei diesem um einen Verbalsatznamen, bestehend aus dem Prädikat von der Wurzel  und dem Subjekt und theophoren Element  (einer Kurzform von JHWH). Der Name bedeutet somit "Beschenkt hat JHWH".

Biblische Erzählung
Von Zebedäus ist aus den Evangelien lediglich bekannt, dass er Fischer war und zwei Söhne namens Jakobus und Johannes hatte, die beide zu Jüngern Jesu wurden. Dennoch ist Zebedäus zu gewisser Berühmtheit gelangt, weil seine beiden Söhne, die recht häufig vorkommende Namen trugen, zur Unterscheidung von anderen Namensträgern häufig als die "Zebedäussöhne" (dies war im damaligen Sprachgebrauch üblich) oder "Zebedaiden" bezeichnet wurden.

Die Berufung der Söhne des Zebedäus wird beispielsweise bei  geschildert. Später wird ihnen wegen ihrer ungestümen Wesensart auch der Beiname Donnersöhne gegeben, vgl. .

Unklar ist, ob die vom Matthäusevangelium zu den Frauen unter dem Kreuz gezählte Gattin des Zebedäus  identisch ist mit der in  genannten Salome. Die christliche Tradition sieht darin die gleiche Person.

Keeping People Informed Naomi Eisenstadt's visit to Melbourne Antidepressants Under Attack
Newsletter No 7
Keeping People Informed
Naomi Eisenstadt's visit to Melbourne
Antidepressants Under Attack
There is an article in the June 2005 issue of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry entitled "What patients and carers want to know: an exploration of information and resource needs in adult mental health services". It describes how, over a four month period, patients and identified carers were interviewed about carer involvement.
The study found that information given to them was generally inadequate and unhelpful. The authors expressed the hope that their survey would be used to improve services.
Consumers have, in fact, been saying this for years. It is a hopeful sign that at last it is getting into the scientific literature, but there would still be an understandable cynicism that it will actually lead to changes in management.
What is it that consumers and carers want? The leading items on the list were:
* Opportunity to attend information sessions about key mental health issues.
* Written information about Community Health Services.
* Written agreement about key people involved with care.
* Meeting with a consumer consultant or staff member of the follow-up service.
Not all of these apply to every case. However, a high quality service would agree with every one of these issues. Why, then, are they not being done?
It is almost certain the reason is pressure of work leads to cutting corners. How can this be avoided? One way would be a checklist of issues to be dealt with when arranging follow-up (in addition to the mandatory case summary). This would help the follow-up clinicians and the quality of service, as well as helping consumers and carers. It seems a reasonable thing to ask of service Directors.

Naomi Eisenstadt (picture below), Director of the Sure Start Program, visited Melbourne for two weeks from 2nd August 2005, as the Creswick Foundation Visiting Professor at the Royal Childrens Hospital Centre for Community Child Health. Sure Start is the British-government sponsored early child development program.
Ms Eisenstadt gave several workshops to people in the health and welfare fields and to Local Government staff responsible for municipal child development programs before heading off to Canberra to speak to high level officers in the corresponding Commonwealth government departments. The message was very clear. Money spent on pre-school child development makes a profound difference to the whole life progress of individuals. Accumulated over thousands of children, this means that the whole society is enriched. The investment is repaid many times over.
This is not just the opinion of an enthusiastic kindergarten teacher. It is the conclusion of solid scientific evidence comparing the progress of children who have been in the program with those who have not. The basis of the program is good quality three and four year old kindergarten teaching delivered locally with family social support, integrated where necessary with child care for working parents. This ensures that children have maximum opportunity for language and cognitive stimulation in a supportive healthy environment at a
critical stage in their development. It also emphasises family support in terms of improved parenting and measures to overcome poverty and unemployment.
Research shows a clear link between poverty and poor progress. Not-so- bright children of supportive families make generally better progress at school and later employment than talented children of impoverished families as a group. The best way of overcoming poverty is through employment. The Sure Start program is strongly committed to the social development of the adults in the family as well as to the wellbeing of the children.
So convincing is the evidence that the British government has embarked upon a five year plan to build 3500 Sure Start centres in local communities throughout the UK. The expenditure on the program this year alone will be three and a half thousand million pounds sterling (A$7.8 billion). What a marvellous commitment!
If only we could have something similar in Australia. In coming months MHYF Vic will be exploring ways in which we can lobby for such incredibly important programs here. If you have an interest in helping this, please send us an email.
Two articles published in the Melbourne Age recently argued that antidepressants are being over prescribed. The article Drugged to the Max was a review of two books –
Selling Sickness: How Companies Are Turning Us All Into Patients by Ray Moynihan & Alan Cassels
Quarterly Essay 18: The Worried Well: The Depression Epidemic and the Medicalisation of Our Sorrows by Gail Bell. (The Age 3/7/2005).
The main argument of Moynihan and Cassels, according to reviewer Cameron Woodhead, is that drug companies, through aggressive marketing, are now medicalising "ordinary tribulations of human existence". Mental health problems were included with the implication that disorders such as ADHD and major depression have largely been manufactured to create a market for treatment by drugs.
The Worried Well article focussed on antidepressants with author Gail Bell, who is a pharmacist, arguing that they are over prescribed. This essay was reprinted in an edited extract in The Age Good Weekend magazine on 25 June 2005. She admits that antidepressants are necessary for those who are seriously depressed but believes that the high number of prescriptions is due to patients self diagnosing.
There are obviously some important criticisms of the role that pharmaceutical companies play in our health care and their pursuit of profit at all costs. However, neither of these articles deal with issues relating to other treatments for mental health conditions. Unfortunately both articles perpetuate myths about depression and help to reinforce the stigma against mental illness.
For example, Cameron Woodhead argues that only serious depression requires drug treatment. He writes: "And whether minor depression, the kind of transient sadness that affects us all – should be a medical condition at all is highly debatable." He has misunderstood the nature of clinical depression by confusing it with a passing mood. His negative opinion of those suffering mental illness is reinforced by referring to the depressed as "marginal sad-sacks" and that we have a "culture of depression in Australia".
The accompanying graphic in the Good Weekend article features a number of pills. Most are blue with sad faces with two yellow pills with a happy face. The introductory blurb refers to antidepressants as "happy pills" (a term the author herself uses) and the essay is entitled "Joy in a Jar".
This image reinforces the false idea that antidepressants are mood enhancers or "uppers" and that taking an antidepressant will make you feel not just happy but euphoric.
Gail Bell also writes that "Australians bought into depression (called misery- chic in the 1990s)". She also advocates such traditional depression cures as being "drunk el fresco with friends while wearing new clean clothes on a sunny day" which to a person who has experienced depression seems insulting and ridiculous.
Unfortunately, for those who are prescribed antidepressants, there is the widespread community opinion that there is something wrong with treating a condition such as depression with drugs. Articles such as these do little to increase understanding about antidepressants and reinforce the stigma towards the mentally ill.

When we first reported the story of Beau and his puppy brother Theo, who nap together every day, it seemed that it was too cute to last.
But last it has, as mother Jessica Shyba has continued to photograph the daily ritual - and the pictures show that Theo has grown to be nearly as big as Beau.
Theo first started taking naps with Theo soon after the Shyba family adopted him in November.
Initially Mrs Shyba intended to crate train the 7-week-old mix breed but after one night of whining, she couldn't bear to let him sleep alone again.
Mrs Shyba says that the nap time routine started on the third day they had Theo.
Theo was laying on Beau when the toddler was getting rocked for his afternoon nap and Theo passed out as well. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.
'I was practically howling at the cuteness and nearly woke them both up,' Mrs Shyba wrote on her blog.
'Each day, Theo meets us at nap time and waits patiently for beau to fall asleep. By that time, he's also sleepy, so when I hoist him onto our bed, he stumbles over Beau and plops right down on top of him.
And there they sleep, entwined, for at least two hours,' she said.
Since the story about Theo and Beau's relationship went viral, Mrs Shyba has been overwhelmed by kind emails, notes and messages from around the world from people who have reacted to the pictures.
'It is truly incredible how the internet brings us together,' she said.
After more observation, Mrs Shyba describes Theo and Beau's relationship as like that between two friends who have been living apart for decades 'only to resume right where they left off'.

When you have been injured or lost a loved one in a serious truck accident, it is in your best interest to take immediate action to defend your right to fair compensation by hiring an experienced a truck accident attorney in Missouri to represent you against the insurance company.
If your accident was caused by the truck driver's negligence or by the negligence of the trucking company, then you have a right to demand monetary damages for your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, if you try to settle the claim on your own, the odds will be stacked against you.
Insurance is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and the company responsible for paying on your claim has vast resources for defending its bottom line. For example, trucking insurance companies typically have their own team of investigators who travel to the scene of the accident, evaluate the road conditions, inspect the physical damage to the vehicles, and collect statements from the accident victims.
Their goal in everything they do is to gather evidence that will minimize or eliminate the insurance company's liability to pay on claims such as yours. In light of this fact, it is advisable to hire an attorney at the outset of the case. You should at all costs avoid speaking directly with an adjuster, investigator, or claims representative, as you are at risk of saying things that would make it difficult or impossible for you to recover a fair settlement.
Politely refer any calls or requests for a statement to the office of Meyerkord & Meyerkord as your legal representation.
We have extensive experience in representing the victims of truck accidents and we know how to successfully navigate the unique challenges posed by this type of case. For example, truck rollovers, jackknife accidents, and other trucking accidents frequently involve multiple vehicles, so the case commonly features several insurance claims being filed on the behalf of victims. There is also the possibility that the accident will be covered by more than one policy, such as if the trucker and the trucking company each maintain separate coverage.
Let us guide you through this experience and fight for your right to fair compensation for your losses. Contact us online or call (800) 391-4318 today.
I am grateful to them and well satisfied with their services.

Group creates standard to ease e-discovery data tr...
Group creates standard to ease e-discovery data transfer
Hopes that 20 vendors unveil products based on XML-based specs by Feb. '08
Brian Fonseca (Computerworld) on 25 October, 2007 06:23
The Electronic Discovery Reference Model standards group Tuesday unveiled an XML-based standard that it says will allow documents transfer through the systems of multiple vendors during the various stages of e-discovery.
The new standard defines metadata of e-mail and files for simplified transfer to and from applications that are used as part of an e-discovery process by businesses, service providers and outside legal firms, said Kurt Leafstrand, a spokesman for the two-year-old standards group.
Leafstrand said the new standard supports the use of Optical Character Recognition files created from scanned images and TIFF documents featuring stored images, as well as instant messaging, attachments and video metadata.
The XML standard schema was ratified by the 41 members of the standards group last week at the biannual meeting of the St. Paul, Minn.-based organization, he said.
Leafstrand said the XML schema standard will be launched next February in New York at the LegalTech conference. By then, the standards group hopes that at least 20 vendors will have successfully passed its newly created compliance test, enabling their products to natively support the electronic transfer information code.
For example, Clearwell Systems plans to begin shipping Version 3.0 of its Clearwell Intelligent Platform, which will support the new standard, noted Leafstrand, also director of product management at California-based Clearwell. He said his company's software will export data to service providers via the standard format early on in the e-discovery process.
"In the past, there hasn't been a standard way to hand off [information] from one step of e-discovery to the other," said Leafstrand. "With no validation tools to make sure you have done it right, it's been a very hit-and-miss, labor-intensive operation."
Regarding future development, he said businesses can expect the EDRM standards group to begin to tackle the topic of redaction, or document editing, as early as May 2008.
