We understand that most people suffering a personal injury have likely never dealt with the complex legal issues that they face, nor have they ever had to contact a lawyer. Below is a series of frequently asked questions that our clients have about personal injury litigation.
Please note that this information is only intended to be informational. It is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice.
For more in depth information, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to set up some time with our lawyers to discuss your case and particular issues. Remember your initial consultation is absolutely free of charge.
When somebody's actions or inactions have caused you to suffer a personal injury, you should contact a personal injury lawyer. Typically, defendants and/or insurance companies will not have your best interest at heart. The lawyers and Langevin Morris Smith will work with you to ensure you receive fair compensation for your losses.
Particularly where serious injuries are involved, the insurance companies will mobilize quickly to try to build a case to minimize or eliminate your recovery of damages for your injuries. Our lawyers will help you build your case against the defendant and insurance company so that you obtain a fair and just result.
If a defendant or insurance company offers to settle your claim, we highly encourage you to contact us to ensure you are receiving appropriate compensation for your injuries and/or losses. Insurance companies do not typically seek to maximize your compensation. Once you have signed a release, you will likely not be able to re-open your claim to obtain more money in the future. Allow our lawyers the opportunity to review your case and help you decide whether the offer is fair and appropriate.
What Types of Accidents/Insurance Claims Do You Handle?
We handle all types of personal injury and insurance claims. The lawyers and Langevin Morris Smith offer you an extensive array of experience and we are ready to work for you. Visit the "Practice Areas" page to see a list of some of the more frequent areas of personal injury and insurance law we handle.
Give us a call and set up your free consultation so that we can help you determine what area of law your case falls within, and how we can help you get the fairest compensation you are entitled too!
The lawyers at Langevin Morris Smith recognize that no two clients and no two sets of injuries are the same. We will work on your behalf to help you obtain appropriate and fair compensation that reflects your overall circumstances and injuries.
Contact us today so that our lawyers can provide you a free initial consultation to help determine how these heads of damage (or others) may apply to you.
In most cases, our lawyers will work on a contingency basis! That means you do not pay us, unless we are successful in settling your matter either through a negotiated settlement or a judgment after trial. When we successfully resolve your matter, we get paid on a percentage of when we recover on your behalf.
We find the contingency process is usually most effective for our clients. Under this system, you do not have to worry about how you will pay your lawyer, and instead can remain focused on your recovery from your injuries.
The length of time it will take to complete your case and get you your compensation will vary greatly depending on many factors, including: the complexity of your case, the nature of your injuries, the number of parties involved in the accident and court procedures.
Will I Have to go to Court? Will my family have to go to Court with me?
Wherever possible, our personal injury lawyers will endeavor to resolve your case without the need of resorting to the formal legal processes of litigation. In some cases, particularly with more serious injuries, there may be little choice but to commence an action (ie. law suit).
However, just because an action has been started still does not necessarily mean that you and/or your family will be required to go to court. There are still a number of opportunities to settle your case prior to trial, including, but not limited to: mediations and pre-trial settlement conferences.
In Ontario, the majority of all action that are started, settle out of court.
Yes, there are strict time limits for making a claim in any type of personal injury or insurance claim case. What those time limits are depend on a number of factors, including: location of the accident, the type of accident, who is involved (for example there are different limitation/notice periods in accidents involving municipalities compared to private citizens). Some claims require you to take action in as little as seven days from the date of accident. In some cases, there are multiple time limits that must be maintained in pursuing your claim.
The time limits involved in personal injury cases can be quite complex and if you miss a deadline, you may be prohibited from seeking compensation for your injuries and losses, after any accident. After an accident, it is vitally important that you speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to make sure you are aware of your legal rights and what your various time restrictions might be.
Remember the lawyers and Langevin Morris Smith will provide you with a free consultation to review your case and help you identify any time constraints that you must be aware of.
I Was at Fault for My Car Accident. Can I Still Seek Compensation?
In a car accident where you are at fault, you will likely not be able to recover any damages from any other parties involved in the collision. However, you may still be entitled to compensation and assistance from your automobile insurance company.
Your automobile insurance (or Accident Benefits Insurance) is responsible for a number of forms of compensation, including, but not limited to: income replacement benefits, medical/rehabilitation benefits and more. Exactly what benefits you are entitled to will depend on your insurance policy and the nature and gravity of your injuries.
We recommend that you speak with one of our personal injury lawyers so that we may be able to assess any claim you may have against your accident benefits insurance provider and help you to make sure you receive the benefits you are entitled too.
Remember, there is no cost for your initial consultation with our lawyers.
I Was Partly Responsible for My Car Accident. Can I Still Seek Compensation for the Injuries I Sustained in the Accident?
Yes, even though you may have contributed to the accident and your resulting injuries, you may still be eligible for some form of compensation. In many cases there will be an assessment of your damages (or compensation you are entitled too) and that amount will be reduced by a notional amount representing how much you were at fault for the accident. This is referred to as contributory negligence.
If for example, you were determined to be 40% at fault for the accident, then your damages will be reduced by 40%.
We encourage you to call us today to set up an appointment with our lawyers for your free consultation. We will be please to discussion with you the concept on contributory negligence and how it may or may not affect your claim.
What do I Need to do to Protect My Rights/Build My Case?
You should contact our personal injury lawyers as soon as possible after the accident so that we can provide you a free consultation about your potential claim. We can provide you with summary advice about what your particular rights are in your circumstances.
Immediately after the accident see your doctor and/or attend the emergency room, if needed. Remember to follow-up with your doctor's advice and see any specialist he/she recommends.
Notify your own insurance, as soon as possible.
If the police were involved, obtain a copy of any police report and/or contact information from the attending police officer.
If possible, obtain names and contact information of persons involved in the accident and/or any witnesses.
Remember to report to your doctor all of your injuries and symptoms so he/she can ensure you are receiving the most appropriate treatment.
It is a good idea to keep a journal of your health complaints/pain between doctor's visits.
Take photographs of your injuries, any vehicles involved and the accident scene.
Track all of the medical appointment you attend, with which doctor, on which date and for what issues.
Track all of your out of pocket medical expenses, including: medications, assistive devices, therapies (ie. physical therapy etc.), parking and transportation costs, house keeping costs, personal support worker/care provider(s) etc. Keep your receipts.
Track your time of work as a result of your injuries.
Have your family track how much time they spend caring for you and how much time they were required to take off work to help you.
Remember during your free consultation with our personal injuries lawyers we can help you devise strategies to help you build your case and protect your rights. Call us today!

How to Sell Content on a Cost Per Read Model
Why would you sell content the same way you sell a banner ad?
Custom branded content is frequently the most expensive line item in a digital media campaign, and accordingly, advertisers expect a lot from their content. Simply getting a one-second impression on an article is not enough to generate a meaningful connection with the reader. Savvy advertisers know this all too well, and are increasingly discontent with content campaigns that don't deliver the engagement they expect.
For this reason, content requires a new pricing strategy — one that more accurately reflects the goals of the medium by placing a greater value on engagement.
Our solution is the Cost Per Read (CPR) model. Under the CPR model, branded content is bundled with a guaranteed number of high-quality reads, so the advertiser knows exactly how many people will actively engage with their content. This immediately makes branded content less risky for the advertiser — who may be apprehensive about spending upwards of $10,000 on one piece of content — and removes ambiguity around the campaign deliverables. This makes it easier to sell branded content campaigns and establish yourself as a trusted media partner.
For publishers, this also means that better content becomes more valuable. If your content is popular, it's easier to drive traffic to it, letting you increase the total amount of reads you promise on a story. As long as you're able to deliver more and more reads, your potential revenue is infinite. And because publishers can charge up to a 66% margin on amplification, it's an overall low-risk initiative.
Long gone are the days of bundling a piece of content with a few thousand native ad impressions and providing no guarantees that it would be viewed by even a single reader. More advertisers are demanding guaranteed performance, and the Cost Per Read model is the easiest way to deliver.
Not only will the CPR model allow your teams more time to do the work they do best — tell stories — but it will significantly boost your potential revenue for sponsored content campaigns. Here's how:
Using CPR to Become More Profitable
From a profitability standpoint, Cost Per Read creates an opportunity to generate more revenue from your content by adding more reads to the campaign at the pre-set cost. Every time the publisher drives a unique reader to a brand's content, they're rewarded with incremental revenue. Better yet, the publisher controls how the reader arrives at the article — be it organically, through native traffic drivers on your website, or via paid ads on your social handles.
This sort of pricing flexibility simply isn't possible when charging a flat fee for branded content, which also has the unfortunate side effect of limiting your revenue to that one-time sale. Publishers understand this limitation and will often try to make a campaign more profitable by including add-ons like banners, social posts and e-newsletter mentions — things they often get pushback on from agencies, who want to see as many of their dollars go to content as possible. Instead, give clients what they actually want: views on a piece of content.
Advertisers are eager to invest in amplification to ensure their stories reach as many people as possible — even when it's sold at a premium. Why is this?
First, organic traffic has fallen significantly since 2014, making paid amplification a crucial method to drive views to content.
Second, advertisers value your brand and audience, meaning they'll pay extra to have their content promoted on your site and social handles. With these insights, you can turn a $3,500 sponsored post into a $10,000 one simply by getting more people to see it.
Third, advertisers might want to reach a niche section of your audience, or even a group beyond your organic reach. Paid promotion makes this possible and can even help you expand your readership.
We've already seen agencies like Omnicom, GroupM and IPG begin to demand guaranteed performance from their vendors, and the trend is only growing. By implementing a pricing model that places greater value on content, you won't miss out the next time they send out an RFP.
Expand Your Social Audiences at Zero Cost to You
According to Keywee, the cost of clicks to content on Facebook has increased 103% year over year. This not only makes it difficult to give clients social amplification on your campaigns – it makes it challenging to earn new readers in general.
The added bonus of the CPR model is that someone else pays for your amplification. Social ads, paid for by the advertiser, drive traffic to your stories. This model gets you guaranteed amplification plus whatever markup you've added, while also letting you connect with new potential readers. Rather than only sharing your content with users who already follow your social accounts, your content is promoted to a broader audience that aligns with your client's campaign goals. So in addition to making a mark-up on amplification, you're connecting your brand with new readers who may become loyal followers.
A better business model for sponsored content is long overdue. The good news is that the CPR model is not only easy to implement, but it makes your products more profitable and more desirable to clients.

The New Straits Times has, most unusually, published exposures of the alleged involvement of:
(1) 2 close associates of former Finance Minister Daim Zainuddin in the Metramac case, and
(2) the scion of a senior official in the Home Ministry in the illegal detention of a Paki-Malaysian citizen by Immigration authorities.
As the New Straits Times is a known organ of the UMNO-led government, its revelation of such alleged scandals could indicate that manoeuvrings for ministerial positions by certain UMNO personalities have begun, perhaps in anticipation of the rumoured Cabinet reshuffle.
Let the games begin, but sang kancils better stay out of the way as powerful elephants battle!

NYC Median Family Income Up for First Time since Great Recession
October 15, 2014. After five years of decline, median family income in New York City rose by 3.5 percent between 2012 and 2013 in inflation-adjusted terms, according to recently-published Census data.[1] This compares with increases of 0.9 percent at the national level and 1.6 percent for all of New York State, including the city.
While the city's increase far surpassed the nation's and state's, median family income in the city was still 5.2 percent lower in 2013 than it had been in 2008 at the start of the Great Recession. The corresponding national and state declines for the 2008 to 2013 span were 6.6 and 4.0 percent, respectively.
What explains this fairly solid one-year increase in family income? Did the finances of the typical New York City family, while not yet having made up the ground lost since 2008, get a healthy boost? An examination of other new Census data provides a mixed picture. Yes, there was improvement in some labor market outcomes, indicating that some of the city's families did indeed see their incomes rise. The new data, however, suggest that an out-migration of low- and middle-income families and an in-migration of higher-income families also partially accounts for the increase in city median family income.
First, the good news—several indicators show that 2013 saw some improvements in the city's labor market. For New York City residents, the employment rate—the number of people employed relative to the population aged 16 and up—increased by nearly half a percentage point from 2012, rising from 56.8 to 57.2 percent. The state's employment rate also rose by the same amount, whereas the national rate dipped by 0.4 percentage points. The city's increase continues a steady climb back from the 55.8 percent low seen in 2010. Having a larger share of the city's working-age population employed obviously benefits family incomes.
Further, median wage and salary earnings, adjusted for inflation, increased by 1.5 percent, rising from $34,526 to $35,057. Over the same period, median earnings increased at a much lower rate (0.6 percent) at the national level and fell by 2.4 percent statewide.
Next, the share of city residents holding private wage and salary jobs versus being self-employed also rose in 2013. Private wage and salary jobs in New York City, on average, have earnings 60 percent greater than self-employed earnings. As a share of the total job pool, those holding private wage and salary jobs increased by nearly one percentage point (rising from 79.8 to 80.7 percent), while the share who are self-employed dropped by nearly half a percentage point (from 6.6 to 6.2 percent). Again, this is a positive shift from the standpoint of family incomes. (The share holding government wage and salary jobs also declined in 2013.) In contrast to the city, the national and state data show roughly half-percentage point gains in the share of jobs held by private wage and salary earners, and very small 0.1 percentage point declines in the self-employment share.
Looking at the employment of city residents by occupation and industry, two other statistics also suggest why the incomes of the city's families may have increased. Among the five broad occupational groupings, the largest increase between 2012 and 2013 was in Management, Business, Science, and Arts. This category comprises relatively high-paying jobs, and the share of resident workers employed in these fields increased by nearly one percentage point (0.9 of a percentage point). This occupational grouping also ranked first with respect to growth nationally and statewide, but the respective share increases (0.2 and 0.7 of a percentage point) were smaller.
In terms of changing shares of jobs by industry, of the 13 broad industry groups, the largest share increase in the city (half of a percentage point) was for Professional, Scientific, and Management, and Administrative and Waste Management Services (reported as one broad industry grouping). Generally, this category is associated with relatively high-paying jobs. The share of jobs falling under this umbrella also registered the largest increase at the state level (0.5 of a percentage point) and nationwide (0.2 of a percentage point).
While these developments—increased employment rate, increased share of jobs held by private sector wage and salary earners, and increase in the share of jobs in relatively high-wage occupations and industries—offer clues as to why the city's median family income rose in 2013, the new Census data also suggest that the increase in median family income may reflect both the in-migration of higher-income families and the out-migration of lower-income ones.
As shown in the table below, the number of families in the top Census Bureau income bracket—$200,000 and up—increased by 19,000, nearly 14 percent, approximately double the rate of increase at the national level and more than one-and-a-half times the rate of increase statewide. There was an overall 10,000 net increase in the number of New York City families from 2012 to 2013.
All of the top four New York City income brackets saw gains in the number of families. An influx of high earners accounts for some of the increase in the median family income and is consistent with the growth in higher-wage jobs and educational attainment. The share of city residents with at least a bachelor's degree increased by 1.1 percentage points, far outstripping the national 0.7 percentage point increase and the 0.5 percentage point statewide increase.
At the other end of the income spectrum, the number of families in the city's three lowest income brackets shrank. While some families likely moved up the income ladder over the past year, the much larger magnitude of the net increase among the top three income brackets compared to the net decline among the bottom three brackets (a gain of over 27,000 vs. a decline of nearly 18,000), suggests a net influx of families with high incomes. The net decline in the number of lower-income families may reflect some out-migration. Some of the job growth in high-paying occupations and industries benefitted new in-migrants, particularly given that the disproportionate increase in just one year in the share of city residents who are highly educated is most likely associated with in-migration.
In conclusion, the reversal of the five-year recession-related decline in the city's median family income offers some encouragement. Between 2008 and 2012, New York City's median family income fell by $5,100, an 8.4 percent drop. In 2013, the median gained by nearly $2,000, a 3.5 percent rebound. The new Census figures show some clear positive signs of an improving job market. However, in looking at the broader picture painted by the Census data, it appears that a significant part of the income rebound reflected a demographic shift with respect to income levels of the city's families.
Taking into account the much more rapid growth in high incomes in New York City than in the nation, and the greater proportionate decline in the share of families with lower incomes, this shift means that roughly 10,000 families moved from below the median in the $56,000-to-$58,000 range to above the median. Given that there are roughly 10,000 families in each $1,000 increment of the city's income distribution in the range from $50,000 to $60,000, this change alone would have lifted the median point from $56,000 to $57,000, an increase of 1.8 percent. Thus, we conclude that about half of the city's 2013 3.5 percent median family income growth is due to the in-migration of higher-income families and the out-migration of lower-income families.

I'm usually reading two or three things at a time. One item is typically a frivolous fast read, maybe a romance, to keep me in the loop. There also might be something military-themed, like Rob O'Neill's autobiography or the book my son gave me about Alexander Hamilton. Then, there are things like Quiet, by Susan Cain. You must love the lengthy subtitle: the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking. Admittedly, it took me a while to purchase the book and it's also taking me a while to read it. Not because of the subject matter or the way it's written. Maybe I just want to take my sweet time reading all about myself.
I'm currently on Chapter 6 (of 11) and while it is a little bit like reading a textbook, I find it refreshing to read the research behind introversion. What it is, why it is (that's what I'm in the middle of now) and soon (hopefully – don't spoil it for me) how to best use introversion to my advantage <insert evil genius laugh here>. Part of my mind is telling me that Ms. Cain is not saying anything I don't already know through experience, but another part of my mind is telling me to shut up and let her quantify what I already know. She's got a whole following, I follow her on LinkedIn because to do more is redundant, and apparently a community committed to getting the virtues of introverts OUT THERE, which I find ironic yet wonderful.
As a Gen-Xer, I find her idea of temperament-inclusive cultures a little too snowflakey for my liking, yet wonder what might have happened had introversion been seen as something other than a negative when I received my Myers-Briggs results at the end of my grad school experience. The recommended career for me? Archive librarian. So I wouldn't have to deal with any animate objects in my 9-5 life. The information was presented to me in a negative light, so what did I do? I got mad and took a sales job.

Live in California and are in the mood for new car insurance? Google's new car insurance comparison tool might be a good place to start. Announced today, the tool is a part of Google's suite of Compare sites (they also do credit cards) that allow customers to "make confident, more informed financial decisions." At this time, the car insurance Compare is only available in California, but Google expects more states to follow.
In California, it appears as if Google has partnered up with 13 insurance providers, most of which will show you a quote after filling out a couple of simple forms. It took all of 5 minutes for me to plug in a bunch of half-fake information (because I don't live in California) and receive quotes from six of the 13 providers.
Once you are given quotes, you have the option to buy online, call the insurance provider directly, or just view more detailed policy information from the quotes received. With a well-laid out list of quotes, you can quickly click through each to compare and hopefully, find the best option. The quotes show price by "pay in full" or installments, length of the policy, breakdowns of each charge, etc.
The list of providers seems to be pretty small at the moment, and certainly seems to be missing some of the really big insurance players, but that could all change over time.
Again, if you are in California and in need of new car insurance, give it a spin.
You can visit the car insurance comparison tool here.

A vast cast of bizarre,idiosyncratic and horrific characters, multiple endings, mystery, deep lore to discover depending how bold your playstyle, and pieces to the puzzle hidden in every dark corner. Reading between the lines of this psychological thriller will make you feel like you're in a Lynchian film and you're all alone.
Depending on your point of view you will find it deeply meaningful or discordantly meaningless, but either way the ambience will play with your mind and make your skin crawl. It is not supposed to be comfortable.
Looking deeper at Seul.(Alone) it is a philosophical thriller, meaning it is a thriller based on philosophical ideas and contains horror elements. A narrative told with ideas of nihilism, existentialism, surrealism, solipsism and absurdism. The story plays on these thoughts but also presents some dark world where nothing makes much sense at first glance but as one adapts to it, when it manages to invade you; you begin to see that mostly everything is staged within the game for a reason, a motivation sits behind every image and sentence.
But at times those dreams can still affect you if you lay there and really begin to pull them apart and ask why, what was the reason for that? Where did those thoughts come from? What is my subconscious communicating, where are the links to my life? Now you are studying the dream… and there's a whole ocean of stuff behind that now, connections, motivations and meanings. This is what I want to achieve in Seul.(Alone) and you mostly ever find yourself studying those areas of your life when you are truly Seul.(Alone).

Service was not cheap, but was probably quite reasonable given the number of man-hours spent on the inspection. Price was a flat rate set up-front, so extremely transparent on that front. The inspectors actually examined some uninhabited structures that were beyond the initial scope of work for no extra charge! Inspectors were extremely thorough and put together a great report, but were also quite reasonable in explaining which issues were truly significant concerns in the 200-year-old house we were purchasing. Also received a structural engineer follow-up at no additional charge. I would definitely recommend for any situation in which a high-quality inspection is important.
Did not deliver as promised. Two months after a structural inspection I finally received a short two page report. Additional work promised was never done.

Have you ever been to the CrossFit Games? The first time I attended as a spectator was 2008, the second year they were held. The venue was Dave Castro's family ranch in the hills outside santa cruz, CA. The athletes were there to have a good time, which sometimes involved a few beers between events. And, speaking of beer, they were selling domestic cans for $2. 10 years later, a few things have changed.
The athletes competing no longer 'just sign up' online. There is an arduous process of qualifying through different levels against thousands of others. The only brew they're drinking between workouts is kombucha, and the beer prices for spectators are on par with an NBA game. There is one thing however, that has not changed.
The people. Not only is it the best looking crowd of its size anywhere in the world, it is also the kindest group. Not only due to the increase in Canadians with the move to Madison, WI, but all of the spectators.
Often when in big crowds, people tend to posture in lines and try to get a leg up on the masses. At the CrossFit Games it's different. There is a community feel. People from all over the world have a respect for one another that is unique. They understand what their co exercise watchers go through. They bond over callused hands and the hate of burpees.
For the last five years I've experienced the event from another perspective; that of a vendor. Vendor life is not for the weak of heart...it includes long days of sweating through multiple layers of deodorant, exclusively consuming calories in bar form from other vendor booths, and no more than 5 hours of sleep per night. The bright spot? Those long sweaty days are spent talking to the excessively kind event spectators. It makes the experience more than just tolerable, it makes it wonderful.
If you have never been to watch the CrossFit Games, I suggest you start looking for hotels in Madison for next August. Spend a few days with beautiful people watching a bunch of shirtless athletes exercise at the highest level. Just be sure to bring with you some stories about your calluses.

The body of Christ is growing rapidly in El Salvador with families flocking to the truth of God and the certainty of his word. Thousands of volunteers joyfully serving in children's ministries are hungry for training to help them provide an even greater impact on these young lives for Christ.
KidZ at Heart is seeing children fall deeply in love with Jesus in more than 40 countries, nowhere more than in El Salvador. Join the work God began to transform leaders, teachers, and children in El Salvador from the inside out!
"Leaders of children's ministries have a responsibility for children to not just know about God, but really KNOW God.
KidZ at Heart El Salvador has begun to turn this around!"

Train a Teacher
Like Eddie
At age 10, Eddie attended his first KidZ at Heart training. Honestly, the presenters were concerned that he might be a distraction for the other attendees but soon learned Eddie serves as a Sunday school teacher to a group of three-year-olds at the tabernacle in Chalatenango, two hours away from his home in San Salvador. As the training concluded, he was ready to try the activities and tips with his class the following Sunday. Not only has Eddie fallen deeply in love with Jesus, he is excited to help other children do the same.

Like Ileana
After attending a KidZ at Heart training, Ileana was burdened to teach children in the center marketplace of her town where little ones gather as their grandmothers manage market stands. Children are flocking to see what the fun is all about—and are becoming wholehearted followers of Jesus, from the inside out! Because of her passion to lead, Ileana has since become a National Trainer for KidZ at Heart where she teaches the teachers. There are teachers waiting to be trained, but more trainers are needed to meet the demand.
It takes $15,643

Carolina was trained by KidZ at Heart in 2017. She soon started a Bible Club in a school which resulted in children learning about Jesus. Before long, Carolina trained to be the first KidZ at Heart National Trainer. And now? KidZ has 26 professional trainers in El Salvador! The two largest churches in El Salvador have requested KidZ at Heart trainings: Elim Christian Mission and Bible Baptist Tabernacle. Trainings are currently taking place at sister churches and smaller congregations, but we have requests to train thousands more teachers. It is imperative that we establish locations for these trainings to take place.
It takes $96,860 to build
a training network.
El Salvador is ready and waiting for a self-sustaining network of trainers. Like driving on a rutted road causes stress and damage to our vehicles, a lack of infrastructure impedes progress in our communities. There is a tremendous need for infrastructure with KidZ at Heart's ongoing El Salvador efforts. We have opportunity to expand to the borders of the country, but our progress is much slower than it could be. We simply need systems and structures set in motion to empower our trainers and help them move effectively into expansion mode. This includes training teachers and trainers, establishing six training sites, and empowering staff, partners, and leaders to move more effectively.

Press statement: LHR calls for strong political leadership as xenophobic violence rages on
Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR) is disturbed and worried by the serious lack of strong and coherent leadership as xenophobic violence continues to spread across the country, reaching crisis point in Durban and displacing thousands of foreign nationals. This is eerily reminiscent of the 2008 attacks that resulted in the death of over 60 people.
We are pleased that President Jacob Zuma has addressed the nation but are increasingly puzzled over his refusal to call his officials to order by demanding that they stop making inflammatory and hateful statements in public. A few days ago, Zuma's son, Edward, echoed inaccurate and damaging assumptions in the media. This was not met with an adequate response from the President in Parliament and underlines concerns that xenophobia will flourish in an environment where the President fails to condemn it. Condemning the violence and then expressing sympathy "to some of the issues that have been raised by affected South African citizens" in the same breath is hardly an unequivocal stance.
We have seen how influential these political heavyweights are – for example, the recent ignition of xenophobic violence across Durban following Zulu King Zwelithini's comments that foreigners "should go home". Those in positions of power have a duty to make considered statements in public platforms and refrain from inflammatory comments. South Africa has a very clear legal framework (including the Constitution) which prohibits hate speech and comments that incite violence. We believe The King's comments amount to hate speech and we will be laying a formal complaint with the South African Human Rights Commission. LHR also laments the lost opportunities that public figures have when addressing the public to change mind-sets and send messages of integration, cohesion and understanding. Instead of using these opportunities for positive social change, public figures have all too often used their position of influence to make damaging comments.
We have grave reservations of the call for the establishment of refugee camps in response to the violence. This move would not be an appropriate response and would only serve to further alienate this already vulnerable population. The policy of encampment flies in the face of South Africa's Constitution and Refugees Act that guarantee freedom of movement. Encampment also entrenches the perception of "otherness", reminiscent of Apartheid's segregation policies. Camps are inherently dangerous, dirty and expensive to the South African state. Those funds would be better spent on ensuring adequate services are provided to all community members, no matter where they were born. Camps also undermine refugees' ability to sustain independent livelihoods and make them dependent on state or other resources which, apart from infringing on their dignity, serves only to enhance South Africans' views of foreigners as burdensome on limited resources. Claims that South Africa is "flooded" by "illegal immigrants" are based on a lack of knowledge on South Africa's refugee system. Many factors contribute to a person being undocumented and few of these are in their control. These include the tightening of immigration laws that increase administrative hurdles, severe corruption at refugee reception offices and the unlawful closure of reception offices without sufficient contingencies in place as well as the non-compliance of court orders by the Department of Home Affairs. It is also caused by an asylum system in crisis, plagued by poor decision-making, inefficiencies and severe backlogs.
We commend the police's quick response to the violence that spilled over to the Durban city centre yesterday and ask that a dedicated and coherent prosecution strategy of perpetrators of the violence to create a strong deterrent and set the tone for future instances of xenophobia by breaking the culture of impunity. LHR doesn't believe, however, that the use of the army is appropriate at the moment since a more resolution-oriented approach is preferred.
As police continue running battles in our communities, we call for a resolution on the following actions:
• Effective policing of violence and effective prosecution of perpetrators;
• Officials to cease making inflammatory statements in the media;
• Provision of social assistance to displaced people by the Department of Social Development.
• Addressing systemic and glaring deficiencies in the asylum system that prevents documentation solutions from being made available;
• A roll out of community integration plans and strategies;
• A roll out of education campaigns to increase citizens' knowledge of the reasons for migration in the continent and to debunk myths about foreigners in South Africa;
• Implementation of the recommendations of the 2010 SAHRC report.
Xenophobia and criminality are not mutually exclusive but they both require an immediate and coordinated reaction from the state. The unnecessary loss of life and displacement of thousands of foreign nationals highlights the need for urgent and effective interventions. We believe that this violence could have been prevented had the recommendations of the SAHRC's 2010 report been implemented by the various government departments and we reiterate the call for government to do so.
We do, however, echo Zuma's call for restraint on social media. We have seen first-hand the damage that false SMSes have and hope that communities will refrain from circulating incorrect and misleading information.
It is important to point out that the majority of South Africans are not xenophobic and we are proud of their solidarity with those caught in the centre of the violence. We have heard numerous stories of South Africans coming to the aid of their African brothers.

Tourism Minister Urges Collective Effort to Curb Visitor Harassment

Record 4.3 Million Tourist Arrivals in 2017
Craft Makers Must Refine Skills and Innovate – TPDCO Head
Tourism Minister Welcomes Expansion of Knutsford Express Bus Service
Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, has called for a collective effort to curtail visitor harassment in order to safeguard the industry's gains and surpass the country's record-breaking outturns achieved in 2017.
"We cannot afford to reverse the gains we have made and continue to make. This is why it is so important to curb the vexing issue of visitor harassment so that our thriving tourism sector can experience further expansion," the Minister added.
Mr. Bartlett said visitor harassment remains an issue for the tourism sector and, such, lauded the workshop's participants for their interest in being sensitized on the issue and how they can help to curb it.
Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, has called for a collective effort to curtail visitor harassment in order to safeguard the industry's gains and surpass the country's record-breaking out-turns achieved in 2017.
"We made history in Jamaica when we welcomed 4.3 million visitors to the island (in 2017). The sector (also generated) approximately US$3 billion in earnings, representing an 11.2 per cent increase (over 2016).
"We cannot afford to reverse the gains we have made and continue to make. This is why it is so important to curb the vexing issue of visitor harassment, so that our thriving tourism sector can experience further expansion," the Minister added.
He was speaking at the opening ceremony for a sensitisation workshop for parish judges at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in St. James on January 13.
Mr. Bartlett said visitor harassment remains an issue for the tourism sector and lauded the workshop's participants for their interest in being sensitised on the issue and how they can help to curb it.
He pointed out that the industry, having soared to levels "beyond our wildest imagination" in 2017, must be "protected at all costs".
Mr. Bartlett said despite challenges with visitor harassment, recent surveys indicate that up to 60 per cent of tourists are "very satisfied" with the Jamaican experience, with 42 per cent being repeat visitors.
"Our intention is for those numbers to be higher… so we have no room for complacency. The visit should resonate so well with those who land on our soil that they will unhesitatingly give us an A plus rating consistently," he emphasised.
Mr. Bartlett said, in this regard, industry stakeholders have a pivotal role to play in safeguarding the sector, adding that "we have to be very firm in our pledge to decrease incidents of harassment and, over time, see to its elimination".


Arne and Sandra grew up together as their parents are best friends. So when Arne and Sandra developed feelings for each other, they first concealed their love from their parents. They were so afraid that if their relationship ever went wrong, it would also affect the relationship between the two families. The great news is that their love grew strong until they were certain that yes, actually, the love of their lives had been right there in front of them all along. (And yes, they finally revealed their love to their families and now to the world).
This highlight film of Arne and Sandra has always had a special effect on me. It's not the kind of film that makes you cry like a baby (even though we have created a bunch of films that do) but when I watch this one, it makes me feel like I am sitting on a very soft green grass, surrounded by tall trees, then the cool soft wind blows through me. It's very gentle, calm, comforting and most of all soothing my soul and that should be the same thing when you feel true love.

The girls are very excited for Halloween this year. They have eagerly been awaiting the chance to carve a pumpkin and make Halloween crafts. We took a short trip to Tennants Garden Rooms to take part in their activity week, as I thought it the perfect day out for the girls.
The first thing the girls wanted to do was decorate a pumpkin. My eldest wanted to do a cat and my youngest a spider. I let them create the components themselves and only gave them a helping hand cutting sticky tape or holding things whilst they added glue!
I am actually really proud of the girls pumpkins and just love what their imagination created.
Next up was some Halloween crafts, the girls made bats, spiders and ghosts. They took their time with potato stamp painting and enjoyed making worms with play dough. No Halloween craft session though can be complete without making a witches hat.
Our final activity was a Halloween treasure hunt.
We managed to find all 10 letters but would we be uncovering a trick or a treat?
The girls had a wonderful day with Tennants and have asked when they can go back again. I think we might have to go back at Christmas as I think the girls would love it!

BUYERS OF NEW HATCHBACKS BEWARE:
EurotaxGlass's has uncovered a 'depreciation trap' affecting some of Britain's best-selling cars. The publisher of Glass's Guide has revealed that five-door variants of some family hatchback models, such as the Vauxhall Astra, Citroën C4 and Renault Mégane, suffer from significantly higher rates of depreciation than their three-door equivalents.
In the case of a Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Design, a five-door model bought last March ('06-plate) would have had an identical list price to the three-door version, yet just one year and 12,000 miles later the trade value of the five-door model is £1,250 less than the three-door (see Table 1 below for details).
The trend is all the more remarkable given that some of the affected five-door cars have a list price up to £500 greater than their less practical three-door siblings. EurotaxGlass's reports that a five-door Citroën C4 1.6 VTR Plus bought a year ago would have cost £400 more than the three-door model, but would now be worth £175 less.
Similarly, a five-door Renault Mégane 1.6 VVT Dynamique bought in March 2006 would have cost £500 more than the three-door model with the same engine and specification, but after one year and 12,000 miles the five-door has a trade value just £25 greater than the three-door car.
"These three cars have very clear visual differences between the three- and five-door variants," comments Jeff Paterson, Senior Car Editor at EurotaxGlass's. "The sportier appearance of the three-door models helps to give them broader appeal compared to their five-door siblings, in particular attracting style-conscious younger buyers who are less concerned about rear-seat accessibility. In the used car market the higher level of demand for three-door hatchbacks translates into stronger residual values."
Paterson continues, "With other cars in the C-segment, such as the Peugeot 307 and Volkswagen Golf, the visual differences between the three- and five-door models are more subtle and consequently the differential in residual values is less marked."
Another factor influencing price differences between some three- and five- door models is supply. Paterson concludes, "Five-door models are preferred by rental companies, responding to demand from their customers. This means that, when these cars are offered to the motor trade after six months, there is a significant imbalance of supply, depressing prices for five-door models."

CEPA Salon at the Latvian Embassy
The CEPA Salon was held in cooperation with the Latvian Embassy in Washington, DC on Thursday, May 9. The discussion featured an introduction and welcome from host H.E. Andris Teikmanis, Ambassador of Latvia, and insights from Latvian Minister of Defense Dr. Artis Pabriks and CEPA President Peter B. Doran on the security priorities for the alliance moving forward. The conversation was moderated by CEPA Executive Vice President Réka Szemerkényi.
The Baltic states remain critical pieces of NATO security and have made massive strides in contributing to collective deterrence. Latvia's investment in its own defense and strengthening its resilience is a testament to Riga's dedication to actively combating threats from the East. NATO allies, including the United States, have much to learn from these lessons. At the CEPA Salon, the Latvian Minister of Defense Dr. Artis Pabriks provided his perspective on the challenges Riga faces and the role the Alliance should take in defending its frontline. CEPA's Peter Doran discussed U.S. security priorities and the most recent changes in the security environment across the broader Eastern Flank. This exclusive event facilitated candid conversations and networking opportunities for attendees. Participants included Congressional staff, senior diplomats of European Embassies, and experts from the Center for European Policy Analysis.
Each month, the CEPA Salon visits a different European Embassy. These salon-styled discussions offer an opportunity to learn about Europe's perspectives and challenges through the lens of U.S. legislative and foreign policy priorities. During this informal evening session, participants exchange views and network with leading experts and diplomats.

This is the pattern for the heart I showed a few posts ago. I you have any questions please let me know.
*Special note when you do this step make sure to maintain your direction of work. It's really easy for the rose to flip sides until you make the lj at ring 6.
# instead of doing the lj and SLT separately you can accomplish the same task by pulling up the ball thread and pass the shuttle through the loop as in a normal join.
Pull up the ball thread until it pops out the other side. This locks in the stitch and switches the threads at the same time. Don't do a 2nd ½ just go into the next stitch.
This one is really pretty! I want to try it! I've ordered some of Yarnplayer's new HDT so maybe I'll try it with that when it arrives! I added a link to this pattern on my "Tatting Patterns I'm Gonna Tat" page.
Very pretty! I'm working on a wedding hanky for my nephew's fiance, and I think this would look beautiful on it!
Wonderful! Actually I tatted something from what you had before but it was mostly to see how the ruffled arch would go...I had one side bigger than the other because I didn't count sets and I think I didn't bother to post it. I'll have to try this more precise pattern!
That's a small little pretty thing!
So tattable. I'm going to make it soon.
Pretty! Thanks for posting it.
Ooh, what a graceful, feminine shape. I've GOT to try this heart! Thanks for posting the pattern.
Now, young lady, what I REALLY, REALLY want to know is where you've been hiding with all this design talent for so long? Brilliant design. Can't wait to meet you in September.
This is lovely. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for sharing the pattern. It is really pretty.
Thanks for all your enthusiasm! Please let me know about any problems with the pattern. I would love to see pictures!
Hi Vicki! I just wanted to let you know that I tatted this heart pattern and I really enjoyed it. I thought the pattern was well written and easy to follow. You are welcome to come visit my blog post on it!
This little heart is so pretty and the colours you chose are lovely....I just saw a post on it now so have downloaded the pattern and am ready to go.
Hi there! 'Tis me again!
I just wanted to let you know that I just posted aboutyour heart on my blog again!


Stitch Therapy: Spinning is FUN.
Imagine my surprise this morning to wake up to a nice package from amazon. My book came today!!! I'm so excited about it. Everything is beautiful. I have till July to decide what I'm going to make first for the knit along.
Beautiful stuff! You're much braver than I... I'm afraid I'd love it too much and it would cut into my knitting time. Can't wait to see more!
Nice, I love the rose color! You did an excellent job spinning your fiber! Definitely great lace weight stuff. Have you decided on a shawl?
Oh, and I wrote you about yardage on spun stitches. You can pick up a niddy noddy for under $20.
Gorgeous fibers and you are just spinning like a dervish!


Project 3929; derives its name from the area of land in M2 per person that would be available per person, if the United Kingdom was equally divided between its human population, at the beginning of the 21st Century. Over my lifetime, I travelled from my birthplace and ended up owning house and land in Australia, an area roughly equivalent to this area of just ecological citizenship for UK citizens. Since 1996, I've lived in this space with up to 12 or more people at any one time. Between 2008, when I calculated 3929 and 2014 I used my agency in a more focused way, seeding food productivity and increasing bio-diversity, while also appreciating the aesthetic and evolving ecological relationships.

Song Roundup 8: Club Music–Indie Mix
Let's not even talk about the massive gap in posts this time. Maybe later.
I hate club music. I try not to hate much music, but club music just represents some of my least favorite parts of sound and sonic mentality. Club music represents sweaty parties full of people drinking to be drunk and dancing only for the sexuality. I appreciate fun, but this style of music turns heavy bass into a disgusting sensation, rather than an invigorating one. So on this latest Song Roundup, I want to look at indie music that would make me more comfortable at that next awful party (if only for a few minutes).
There weren't truly limits on this list, but I did purposefully avoid "indie" techno, as Daft Punk and Justice are essentially definitive dance music. I can hope that they're a given for this type of list.
"Idioteque" by Radiohead
Sometimes they're guitar gods, other times they fiddle with electronics. Radiohead is a proven musical powerhouse that can touch many genres. "Idioteque" is one of the most singular songs in their catalog. That's quite an accomplishment, but it goes further, making disaster sound exhilarating. The terrifying sound of primordial computer composition blends perfectly with the rest of the band. I always get chills, but the rhythm keeps me from a statuesque state.
"Daft Punk is Playing at My House" by LCD Soundsystem
Most LCD songs would be fair game here, but "Daft Punk" is one of the group's most muscular efforts. The song really pops with good speakers or headphones and deserves to be played loud. I'm personally very fond of the version on the London Sessions release, but whatever rendition you get should do the trick.
"Whoo! Alright – Yeah… Uh Huh." by The Rapture
Dance punk died too quickly in the early 2000s. That is to say, I wasn't really aware of it until it was already dead. But we do have artifacts like this to keep us happy. The tastefully complex variation on a simple disco drum is the real foundation of this song. It keeps everything moving at a high tempo and lets the funky guitars work their magic above the rhythm. But what pushes this over the edge and into greatness is that last bit of lyrical breakdown at the 2:34 mark – almost makes even me want to dance.
"I Can Talk" by Two Door Cinema Club
Two Door Cinema Club has been my guilty-pleasure band-of-choice ever since I first heard them. Their debut record (Tourist History) is nothing innovative, but it's simply brimming with energy. "I Can Talk" is amongst the highlights. The song has a blistering guitar attack, fun vocals and a massive disco drum/bass pattern filling all the space. Embrace this Irish band – I think they're in for big things.
"Dancing Choose" by TV on the Radio
I normally associate TVotR as dense, thinking music. But at least a few tracks off their most recent record have worked to break my mental stereotype. Dear Science has some heavy soul power, and tons of personality, and "Dancing Choose" highlights all of that. Impassioned vocals blend with a propulsive tempo and wild horns to make the art-centric TVotR seem loose and fun.
"Heads Will Roll" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Many have discussed this before, but it's always shocking to listen to YYYs change from a raw garage band to something more like glam rock or disco rock. In particular, singer Karen O has removed some of that punk edge and suddenly sounds like a powerful diva. "Heads Will Roll" is the most powerful example of this change, and makes a strong case for why we should embrace the "new" YYYs. They do this kind of music the right way.

If your smile doesn't look like it used to, call or click and schedule an appointment with your East Greenbush Dentist. Dr. J. Craig Alexander offers cosmetic dental procedures, such as teeth whitening that can give you a beautiful smile.
You don't have to be a celebrity to look great in pictures. You can bet that actors, musicians, and other entertainers spend hours in front of the mirror practicing the perfect smile. Below are a few tips to help you become more photogenic.
Smile gently. A forced smile will always look like it is forced. Relax your face, open your mouth slightly, and match the curve of the upper teeth with your lower lip. A relaxed smile will come across in a photo.
Stand up straight and stop slouching. If you are bent over, it will make you look like you have a double chin. Drop your chin and tilt your head slightly. This way your face will not be square with the lens.
Ladies find a shade that blends with the tone of your skin. The right color will really brighten your teeth. Rosy pink, plum, berry, wine, and red will work best. Pink and blue-based undertones can hide yellowing.
Be careful with colors that are too red or too dark, as they can hurt your smile instead of enhancing it.
Be camera ready with your smile. If your teeth are stained visit Dr. Alexander for professional teeth whitening. Chips and cracks can be dealt with cosmetic dentistry.
Brush, floss, and use a mouthwash that prevents gingivitis. Your teeth and gums will thank you for it.
A perfect smile doesn't happen overnight. If you can't get to your dentist in New York, and you have a party to attend, do some research on how you can disguise your less than perfect smile. If you have an event coming up, talk to Dr. Alexander about cosmetic dentistry.
Smiling can do wonders for your health and well-being. Call and schedule an appointment with your East Greenbush dentist who can help you gain confidence with a new smile.

Danielle Rice honoured for research to address the opioid crisis
PhD Candidate Danielle Rice will receive an honourable mention for the Worton Researcher in Training Award for her impressive contributions to mental health research during her two years as a visiting fellow at The Ottawa Hospital. During the third year of her PhD in clinical psychology at McGill University she decided to grow her skills as a researcher by moving to Ottawa to learn specialized knowledge synthesis and meta-research with Dr. Brian Hutton's group. Her contributions include conducting the first network meta-analysis of psychosocial treatments for opioid use disorder. The evidence from this study has influenced some health-care centres to add new treatment options for this condition. In partnership with people with lived experience, she is also helping to develop a standard set of outcomes that should be measured and reported in all opioid use disorder trials, which will help future meta-analyses in this area. Danielle has established herself as a strong independent thinker and leader, and has been a mentor to many junior trainees.

This December visitors can expect a further chill in the air at The Real Mary King's Close as they learn the shocking truth that until recent times, Christmas in the city was banned. For one day only, on 22nd December, the attraction will hold 'Christmas On The Close' tours which reveal the history surrounding Christmas as a once ordinary working day for Scots, with celebrations moved to Hogmanay instead!
From the 'daft days' which ran from Christmas Eve until Twelfth Night – which included mischief-making and practical jokes – to the ban on celebrating Christmas that started in 1575 and was not officially lifted until 1958, visitors will learn of the merrymakers who paved the way for Edinburgh now playing host to one of the biggest New Year parties in the world.
It's hard to imagine Edinburgh without its Christmas lights and festive markets, but people enjoying Princes Street Gardens today might spare a thought that they're walking on what once the fetid Nor Loch, filled to the brim with household waste from The Close's original residents.
Starting in the 16th century, the festive tour takes visitors through more than 300 years of the Close's history allowing visitors to step back into Christmas past! Christmas on the Close tour will take place on Sunday 22 December at 10.15am, 11.30am, 12.45pm, 1.30pm, 2.30pm, 3.15pm, 4.15pm & 4.30pm. Book in advance by calling 0845 070 6244.

Country women applaud CMT for all-female awards show

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country icon Loretta Lynn doesn't mince words when it comes to CMT's decision to honor all-female artists, including Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and more, at its annual Artists of the Year show, where Lynn will be recognized as an artist of a lifetime.
"It's about dadgum time that we recognize women and not just country music but all music," Lynn, 86, said in a statement to The Associated Press. "A big yee haw to CMT for doing so."
The coal miner's daughter has been blazing trails for women in country music since the 1960s, and she'll be honored on Oct. 17 in Nashville, Tennessee, by her friend and actress Sissy Spacek, who won an Oscar for portraying her in the hit biopic.
While women have been struggling to be played on radio and on streaming playlists or earn nominations for country awards, CMT decided to celebrate the ladies this year, with honors going also to Kimberly Schlapman and Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum, Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini.
Ballerini's debut album resulted in three consecutive No. 1 country radio singles, the first time any female artist had done so in the genre, and she was part of CMT's Next Women of Country, a yearly installment of new and upcoming female artists that CMT supports. Ballerini said she worried that the lack of women in country music was just going to remain a conversation in the industry, without any real action to correct it.
"Finally we're seeing people actually do stuff about it," Ballerini said. "CMT choosing to use their platform, which is a massive platform in country music, to honor only women is not just conversation, but actual change. That's a massive step forward."
The night will feature the honorees in cross-genre collaborations with special guests. Ballerini will be singing with Alison Krauss, Morris will be doing a tribute to Aretha Franklin with Brandi Carlile, and the women from Little Big Town will be singing with soul legend Gladys Knight. Scott will be singing with pop singer Tori Kelly and gospel singer Kirk Franklin.
Leslie Fram, CMT's senior vice president of music strategy, said the timing just felt right for CMT to make the change this year. For the past couple of years, award shows from the Oscars to the Grammys have been trying to address a lack of diversity in nominees and winners.
"And if you look at all these artists individually, they have all had amazing accomplishments individually, whether it's professionally or personally and things that they do in their community, so it really made sense this year," Fram said.
Lambert will be performing with her all-girl group, the Pistol Annies, featuring Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, who are releasing a new album in November.
"We have to support each other," Lambert said. "It's not an industry supporting us. It's us believing in each other and respecting each other's art and I think that it also pushes us to be better when someone is really great. You need a little competition. As long as the women keep delivering, I think it's just building it up, building it up."
Underwood will be performing with her upcoming tour openers, Maddie and Tae and Runaway June.
"I'm a big believer in actions speak louder than words," said Maddie Marlow. "And with CMT with Artists of the Year, and Carrie with making this kind of tour, I love when people are acting on it and not just, 'Oh we need to fight for women in country.' They are actually making moves."
The show will air on CMT on Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. Eastern.

IndyCar / Nashville News
IndyCar drivers relishing "violent" bumpy Nashville track
Will Power, Colton Herta, Pato O'Ward and Alex Palou have all praised the new 2.17-mile street course in Nashville, despite bumps, and in O'Ward's case suffering an early shunt.
David Malsher-Lopez
O'Ward clipped the inside wall at Turn 3 on his eighth lap of the opening session, bouncing him into the outside wall, thereby breaking the front suspension on both sides of his car. Despite this, the Mexican 21-year-old who sits second in the championship was enthusiastic about the course that Tony Cotman's NZR Consulting firm has devised.
"I love this place, what a cool track," he told NBC's Peacock service. "I got caught out by that inside wall and it sent me off there. The damage doesn't seem to be too bad. We'll be ready to go tomorrow, we'll see what we've got for qualifying."
Asked what he thought of the track, he replied: "That it's violent! Going into Turn 4 [the transition off the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge] the bumps are very violent. You're going through there and the wheel is, like, getting knocked out of your hands.
"It's very unique, it's unlike any other place that we go to for sure."
Team Penske's Will Power, who finished the day eighth fastest, agreed that particular bump was the "worst", adding, "If they could grind that down a little bit, it would be really nice."
"But the track is cool, man. I really enjoyed it," Power added. "Really typical street course – the bumps and cambers of the road you've got to deal with. It was fun apart from the coming off the bridge heading into the city. That's a bit sketchy with the bumps. That one big bump. That's it: the rest are pretty good. [The Turn 4 bump] does upset the car. I almost lost it there following someone. But we came in, we raised the ride height, and it got better for us."

After a tight barely two-car-wide sinewy section, the cars return over the bridge at around 180mph before braking for Turn 9. Asked if that was a potential passing zone, given that the course is seven-cars wide at that point – which will serve as Turn 1 for the opening lap in Sunday's race – Power replied: "It's a fast corner. You actually flow a lot of speed through that corner. Like you don't brake as long and as hard as you would like if you wanted to pass someone.
"Yeah, I think it will be a passing zone, but it's faster than typical street course corner."
Andretti Autosport's Colton Herta, who topped opening practice, also said he enjoyed the challenge of the track, observing: "I feel like when you go to these street circuits that are bumpy and technical like this one is, it's about having the least worst car, if that makes sense. It's never going to handle nice, so you try to get it into an operating window where it's better than everybody else's.
"I thought the bridge was going to be bumpy, but I didn't expect coming off the bridge to be quite that bumpy. It could make it a little tricky if you're braking for Turn 9. Especially at Turn 4 it makes it tricky. I didn't expect it to be quite like that.
"But it's not a negative thing. I think it adds character to the track. It's actually pretty interesting to follow people through there and see if people are staying out wide or cutting in, trying to avoid the bumps, just finding different lines."
Points leader Alex Palou, sixth fastest in first practice, remarked: "It was more fun than I thought to drive it. Like when I saw the track map, I thought it was going to be a bit boring to drive it with the slow speed stuff, just straights and 90-degrees corners. But they are all different.
"I think it's quite fun. Very bumpy, but also challenging. Yeah, it was fun."

Both Herta and Power said they had problems getting the brake balance right, finding they were locking up front tyres under braking while tyre/brake temperature was low on out-laps, and then locking rears under hard braking as their cars came up to temperature. But tyre degradation-wise, the drivers didn't feel they yet had an accurate read.
"I didn't even get a good feel of what tyre deg is going to be like because of how [fast] the track evolution was," said Herta, who dominated this year's race at the street/airport St. Petersburg course. "I took my tyres out a stint and they were hanging in there. But heat will kind of amplify all those problems we have with tyre temp.
"That will probably be the biggest thing if we do struggle for tyre deg[radation] – holding onto tyres. That's going to be one thing that the heat is not going to help."
"We don't know," concurred Palou. "I think we kept the same time even with really bad tyres because the track was getting better and we got more confidence. Yeah, we'll see how the tyre deg is.
"I think we're going to have a good race. I think the tyre deg is going to be good enough so we have different strategies going on. I think we've had some weekends where tyre deg was quite high and that helps racing for us. We can undercut and overcut [on pit strategy].
"I think at the places we don't have big tyre deg, you can never undercut just because the tyre temperature makes a bigger difference. So, yeah, hopefully we have big tyre deg."
Will Power, Team Penske Chevrolet
Notable at the end of the first practice session was that the top six cars were Honda-powered. Over the past 10 years of IndyCar's current 2.2-liter turbo engine formula, the HPD-produced units have been renowned for their low-rpm torque, and the prevalence of first/second-gear corners in Nashville appears to have amplified their strength.
"I reckon the Honda is going to be very good in that really tight section," said Power. "Yeah, a lot of first-gear pulls – obviously where Honda has been strong. Chevy is good on the top-endy stuff. It appears that way, yeah."
Herta added: "There's not a lot more speed to find out of these engines even though they do every year. It seems to be the same trend every year – it's the lower end that Honda is good, in road course trim at least. Yeah, lower end Honda is better, the higher end the Chevy has a little bit more speed."
