What Is the Impact of Poor Operations Health Management?
For IT professionals, available culture has become the norm. Increased consumer expectations of the performance and quality of the digital services they use places added stress on the always-on IT professional. This new normal makes the management of digital operations a daunting responsibility for any organization that aims to provide high-quality digital offerings 24/7.
Incident responders must be prepared to drop what they are doing—and even interrupt sleep or other parts of their personal lives—in order to engage if something goes wrong with a critical system.

Jeremiah Lockwood
Jeremiah Lockwood is a scholar and a storyteller; a singer, guitarist and composer with an expansive knowledge of musical traditions and techniques that stretch from the Piedmont blues to the cantorial synagogues of his youth. His work engages with issues arising from peering into the archive and imagining the power of "lost" forms of expression to articulate keenly felt needs in the present. As noted above, his music career began with over a decade of apprenticeship to Carolina Slim, playing in the subways of New York City, and he also trained under his grandfather Cantor Jacob Konigsberg. Lockwood's band, the Sway Machinery, seeks inspiration from diverse realms of experience related to the cultural geography of New York City. Lockwood received his PhD from the Stanford University Graduate School of Education Concentration in Jewish Studies in 2021.

Partnership Aims to Diversify Pipeline to Filmmaking Careers
A year ago, Destini Riley and Safiya Gallaghan had never heard of the UNCSA School of Filmmaking, even though the program ranks among the top in the nation. For the two teenagers from Durham, the esteemed film school — just a straight shot across Interstate 40 — might as well have been located on another continent.
Not anymore, thanks to a pilot partnership between the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham.
Destini and Safiya, both 16, dream of becoming filmmakers one day. Last summer, they excelled at Full Frame's School of Doc, a free summer program that teaches public high school students in Durham all aspects of documentary filmmaking. This summer, with support from the Kenan Institute, the teens traveled to Winston-Salem, where they spent five weeks living on campus and further exploring their passion at the UNCSA Summer Filmmaking Intensive.
"These are generally kids of need or kids who have not left Durham, so opportunities like this are absolutely invaluable," says Deirdre Haj, Director of Full Frame.
"The School of the Arts has one of the best physical facilities for filmmaking that I know of, certainly in the Southeast. Every piece of making a film is available to you on that campus."
Since 2012, the Kenan Institute has supported fellowships for UNCSA film students to attend Full Frame's annual film festival in downtown Durham, where they participate in master classes and network with professional documentary filmmakers. This new pilot, part of the Institute's Career Pathways Initiative to broaden opportunities for sustainable careers in the arts, takes that partnership to new heights. The goal: to provide Full Frame School of Doc students with the opportunity to explore UNCSA's four-year film study degree program and, in turn, help diversify an industry historically dominated by white men.
"It's an all-boys club, which is unnatural," says Janos J. Kovacsi, director of the college-prep program. "I'm particularly proud that this summer we had a 50-50 female/male ratio. It's never happened before."
Kovacsi was impressed by Destini and Safiya, who quickly delved into the process of narrative filmmaking, from screenwriting and cinematography to directing, producing and editing. "They integrated themselves in the program on Day One," he says.
Both teens enjoyed the collaborative nature of their work at Studio Village, UNCSA's on-campus movie set, and the range of experiences they gained from the program.
"It's given us a lot of hands-on experience," Safiya notes. "We had two full weeks of production. We did individual shoots and worked on others' sets doing every little job, which is cool."
"So you get experience not just in cinematography or directing," Destini adds, "you get to be a boom operator, a sound mixer and an editor."
Their experiences at UNCSA may prove instrumental in the future. Both teens are now looking at film schools to attend after graduation from high school next year.
"I've never been in a place like this — it makes me excited for college," Safiya says. "In the end, I want to go to California because I want to make movies in LA."
Destini is investigating film schools closer to home. "I really want to do animation and work with Pixar and Dreamworks," she says. "This (UNCSA) is one of the two animation programs on the East Coast that they will hire from."
Destini already has one film to her credit, an animated documentary short she co-wrote with filmmaker Nicholas Pilarski when he was a graduate student and studied at The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. In the autobiographical "I, Destini," she grapples with the effects of her brother's incarceration and explores issues of race, class, media and policing in Durham. The film has garnered awards and recognition at Aspen Shortsfest, Indie Grits, Palm Springs International ShortFest, and was nominated for the 59th CINE Awards in the Short Documentary category.
Both Destini and Safiya say they never could have come to UNCSA's summer program had it not been for the partnership between the Kenan Institute and Full Frame.
And Deirdre Haj is quick to credit the partnership to the vision of Corey Madden, the Kenan Institute's Executive Director.
"We are grateful that Corey came in with a very clear vision," Haj says. "She described it as a circle — broaden the pipeline, build the professionals, then bring the professionals back — and we are just at the beginning of the circle. This is the very first play in a very long game and we are thrilled to be a part of this."

St. Louis County residents have a new tool at their disposal that will give them an up-to-date look at crime statistics for the Northland. If you've ever wondered where crimes are occurring and what type of criminal activity is happening, this new feature will help
The St. Louis County Sheriff's Department unveiled their Crime Incident Map - an interactive, online digital dashboard that acts as a clearing house for all of that important data. Users can dial in to the map to see what various types of crimes have occured. The GIF-style map allows users to instantly get access to all types of crime incidents - including crimes against people, property crimes, and others that are reported as part of the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
You can access the crime mapping dashboard by going to stlouiscountymn.gov/crimemap.
Users will find data on all incidents in areas of the county that fall under the jurisdiction of the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office in addition to some other adjacent jurisdictions that also use the same records management system. Incidents that occur within the city boundaries of Duluth, Hermantown, and Virginia - which use a seperate records system - are not shown on the crime mapping dashboard uness a St. Louis County Sheriff's Deputy was involved in the response.
The new feature provides public access to important crime statistics and data. St. Louis County Supervising Deputy Brandon Silgjord explains:
"We wanted to make this information available because it's important from a transparency perspective, but also to ensure people have accurate information when there are concerns about crime in a community."
The information on the county's dashboard will be updated on a daily basis. The crime incident data can be sorted and viewed based on location, range of dates, responding law enforcement agency, and other search criteria. The record data goes back to January 1, 2021.

Home News Briefs Tethys sells 50% of Kazakh oil and gas assets to SinoHan Oil...
Tethys sells 50% of Kazakh oil and gas assets to SinoHan Oil and Gas Investment
Tethys Petroleum Limited, an oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Central Asia and the Caspian Region, said Friday that it has inked an agreement to sell 50% of its Kazakh oil & gas assets to SinoHan Oil and Gas Investment B.V., a subsidiary of HanHong, a Chinese private equity fund. According to terms of the deal, Tethys will receive an initial payment of $75 million for the transaction while SinoHan will acquire a 50% + 1 share in Tethys Kazakhstan SPRL, a unit of Tethys that holds the Kazakh assets.
ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN–(Marketwired – Nov. 1, 2013) – Tethys Petroleum Limited ("Tethys" or "the Company") (TSX:TPL)(LSE:TPL), the oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Central Asia and the Caspian Region, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of 50% of its Kazakh oil & gas assets to SinoHan Oil and Gas Investment B.V. ("SinoHan"), part of HanHong, a Beijing, PRC based private equity fund.
Terms Highlights:
Tethys will receive an initial payment of USD 75 million for this sale.
Additional performance bonus payments will be made to Tethys for the incremental discovery of 2P reserves achieved from the 2013 and 2014 drilling program, and also in profit sharing of excess profit at any exit by SinoHan from the project.
SinoHan will acquire a 50% + 1 share in Tethys Kazakhstan SPRL ("TK SPRL"), the wholly owned subsidiary of Tethys which holds the Kazakh assets.
Tethys will remain as the operator of the Kazakh assets with both partners having equal board representation in TK SPRL.
The sale achieves the following:
USD 75 million cash injection into Tethys, with the potential for future bonuses
Maintain 50% holding in producing asset with significant upside
Fund more extensive and accelerated work program in Kazakhstan
Strategic investor with access to capital and strong Chinese networks in the resource sector
The sale is subject to Kazakh State approvals, including the waiver on pre – emption (Article 36). Closing will take place once these approvals are received.
Dr. David Robson, Chairman and President of Tethys, commented, "We are pleased with this transaction with SinoHan. As well as receiving a USD 75 million cash payment, we have agreed a bonus payment system that provides further cash payments based on the success on our 2013 and 2014 drilling program in adding reserves. Of course, we still own 50% and will also share the success of any further discoveries through this equity ownership as well. It makes sense to us at this stage of our corporate growth to bring in a partner to share 50% of the risk and funding in Kazakhstan, adding to a balanced portfolio company-wide where we have a joint venture with CNPC and Total in Tajikistan, and also a partner on our projects in Georgia. We believe we have further demonstrated our ability to attract reliable, strategic partners to our projects in order to ensure we are fully funded to maximise the returns for shareholders."
Mr Andrew Macintosh, Group CEO of HanHong Private Equity, commented, "HanHong Private Equity is dedicated to investment in natural resources around the world. Central Asia, especially Kazakhstan, is one of our focus areas. This investment marks the first major oil & gas investment by HanHong in Kazakhstan and we are most excited to form a partnership with Tethys Petroleum for its strong track record and excellent expertise in Central Asia. We strongly believe that the financial resources and Chinese connections of HanHong, together with the sector know-how of Tethys, will accelerate the success of our joint venture."
Further Detail:
Through this transaction SinoHan will acquire a 50% interest (plus 1 share) in Tethys Kazakhstan SPRL which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tethys and which owns a 100% interest in TethysAralGaz LLP (which holds 100% of the Kyzyloi Gas Production Contract, the Akkulka Gas Production Contract and the Akkulka Exploration Contract), Kul-Bas LLP (which holds a 100% interest in the Kul-Bas Exploration and Production Contract), Tethys Services Kazakhstan LLP (which employs Tethys Kazakh staff) and Transcontinental Oil Transportation SPRL (which holds a 50% interest in Aral Oil Terminal LLP).
The USD 75 million initial cash payment to Tethys includes a base consideration of USD 55 million and USD 20 million towards the cost of an agreed work programme that commenced on July 1st 2013. This work programme includes the currently drilling AKD08 and 09 wells and testing of the KBD01 well.
Two further payments (the First and Second Bonus Payouts) of up to USD 30 million will be made to Tethys for any increase in 2P (proven and probable) oil and gas reserves in calendar years 2013 and 2014 (adjusted for any production in 2013 and 2014).
In addition to the Base Consideration and the First and Second Bonus Payments, Tethys will be eligible to profit sharing of excess profit at any exit by SinoHan from the project.
HanHong is placing a USD 3.88 million deposit into escrow for the transaction. Tethys has no obligation to make any payments, bonus or otherwise, to SinoHan in the event of a sale or other realisation of the value of its investment.
HanHong (SinoHan's parent):
HanHong Private Equity Management Company Limited was founded in August 2009 and registered in Tianjin China where it was granted the license specialized in dealing private equity management in November of the same year.
The management team of HanHong is composed of experts and professionals from China, United States, Australia and United Kingdom with profound knowledge and experience in finance and natural resources investment and management. HanHong has over US$1 billion under management. www.hanhongpe.com

Temasek Holdings is for the first time considering investment in real estate as an asset class in India. Last year, private equity-owned real estate funds invested $5 billion in India, which is the highest since the 2008 financial crisis, according to investment advisory firm Venture Intelligence.
The Singapore government-owned company is one of the largest investors in India, with a net investment portfolio of about $9 billion, or five per cent of its $179-billion global portfolio.
Temasek started investing outside its home country in 2002-03. It does not want to be called a fund, as it does not raise money from outside but has its own balance sheet and pays taxes like a company. It makes investments through its own divestments or earnings through dividends. In India, it started investing since 2004, to tap the opportunities that came with rising consumption. In the past five years, on an average, it has invested $1 billion annually.
Late last year it announced it would be buying a two per cent stake in life insurance company ICICI Prudential for $100 million following its investments worth over $1 billion across Sun Pharma, Glenmark, Crompton Greaves and Oberoi Realty in the quarter ended June.
Temasek's plan to invest in the real estate space comes after sister concern GIC emerged as one of the largest investors for the asset class in the country in the last couple of years.
Last year the Singapore sovereign wealth fund manager formed a joint venture with DLF Home Developers to invest $300 million (Rs 1,990 crore) to develop projects in two land parcels acquired by DLF in Delhi. This followed a tie-up with global alternate assets giant KKR to set up a non-banking financial company to lend to real estate developers early in the year.
This was consistent with GIC's strategy to form joint ventures for investment in residential projects in India. In 2014, it announced a joint venture with the Bengaluru-based Brigade Group to invest Rs 1,500 crore in residential development. And then followed it up with two joint ventures with the Delhi-based Vatika Group, to develop two residential projects in Gurgaon. In the commercial real estate space, it acquired the BSE-listed Nirlon — that owned an information technology park at Mumbai's Goregaon — in 2014 for about Rs 800 crore.
Temasek is also considering both commercial and residential real estate for its investment plans.
"For the investments in real estate, we will look at both yield and asset appreciation, regardless of whether it comes from residential or commercial space," Lambah said.

HS Football recruiting: Early Signing Period, Transfer Portal, extra year of eligibility ramps up pressure for players to commit, sign
Jon Santucci and Chris Boyle
Remember a long time ago — OK, four-and-a-half years — when hundreds of high school football players announced their college choice on the first Wednesday in February?
It seemed as if at least one recruit at every school went through the process of selecting one of the hats on the table in front of him to reveal his choice.
Those ceremonies still exist, but they're becoming more and more rare.

More:Football recruiting: Which Florida counties really produce the most Power 5 talent?
Between the Early Signing Period, which made December the new National Signing Day since it began in 2017, the NCAA transfer portal and the fallout from the NCAA's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's increasingly important for high school student-athletes to make a decision earlier in the process.
Wait too long and risk being left out.
"It's musical chairs right now," Cocoa High School football coach Ryan Schneider said. "The music is playing and there's a certain number of chairs. I tell my guys all the time, 'You have to have a seat when the music stops.' That's the truth.
"I've talked to multiple schools and I had a D-I school in Florida tell me they have three open spots. Another school has eight. It all comes down to numbers."
It's not a new phenomenon that colleges only have a certain number of scholarships available. What's new(er) is that high school players now must compete with hundreds of college players in the transfer portal.
It used to be that a college might bring in a handful of junior college players to round out their signing class.
Now, in some cases, it's flipped.
Texas State didn't sign a single high school player last year, opting instead to take transfers from Power 5 programs such as Arkansas, Cal, Kansas State, NC State and Pitt as well as Group of 5 schools. Florida didn't sign any high school players in February but opted for four transfers.
College coaches — who aren't exactly blessed with a lot of job security — are left to determine whether it's a better decision to bring in a high school prospect or a player who's already been in a college program and may be able to help sooner.
"I think we all, if we had our choice, we would want to recruit high school guys," said an ACC assistant coach, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "You want them to come in and be able to contribute in some form or fashion early and to develop into really good players on the field. I think that's what everyone would prefer, but you get into certain situations where there's a really good player out there that wants to leave and is an upgrade at a position you have available. Then, you certainly have to weigh the pros and cons."
What it means is that the average high school recruit is forced to either make his mind up quickly or potentially miss out.
"I think its better for guys to lock in their spot before their senior season," said an SEC assistant. "There aren't too many guys schools are going to wait on. You should definitely lock in your spot because it might not be there later. If we take 23 players, we're not taking 23 wide receivers. We might take one. So once we get one, that spot is gone."
A Big Ten assistant coach told the USA Today Network he expected his school's signing class to be completely full by July or August — at least four months before any high school player can sign a National Letter of Intent.
The top-ranked high school players won't have a problem finding a home and they can wait as long as they want to.
Vero Beach's Keanu Koht flipped from LSU to Alabama during the early signing period last December. But Koht was an elite edge rusher and a consensus four-star recruit.
The reality is there just aren't that many players who fit into that category. Evans High rising senior four-star safety Markeith Williams is one of the fortunate ones this year.
"I would say kids like Markeith, his pressure won't be as bad because everyone wants him," said Evans coach Kenard Lang, who was an assistant at Florida International the past two seasons. "The pressure is on the two- and three-star kids. The four stars, everyone is going to want them. Two or three, they might have eight schools recruiting them. Then those schools go to the portal and now it's down to two or one. It would be good to know where you're going (sooner in the process), but how we do it here is where you commit, that's the school you're going to. When you commit, you're married."
That's why so many players started hitting the road last Tuesday — the first day after the NCAA's dead period ended.
It is just as critical for high school student-athletes to get on campus and be around the coaches as it is for college coaches to finally see those players in person.
Recruits were allowed to take unofficial visits to college campuses during the dead period but were unable to have any contact with the coaching staff while on site.
"I've told (my players) to kill two birds with one stone — go to a camp where they're interested in you and where you're interested in them, and then use it as an unofficial visit and a camp," said Matanzas coach Matt Forrest, who previously spent time on the staffs of four FCS programs. "You can see the campus, see the town. Decisions have got to be made quickly. If you don't like the town, or it's not the right fit, or you don't really like the school setting, at least you'll know while you're up there visiting and going to camp, too."
Further complicating the issue for high school seniors this year is the NCAA granting fall student-athletes an extra year of eligibility — whether their teams played or not — in response to the pandemic.
"It was a difficult time and a difficult situation as a country," Schneider said. "It's one we've never been through before. They did what they thought was best. When they made the decision (last August) the Big Ten wasn't playing. They didn't realize the trickle-down effect would happen for high school players,"
It will have a long-term impact, one that goes far beyond the reality that programs are limited to having 85 scholarship players. Those ramifications include finances, as schools now have an unexpected expense of keeping "super seniors" on campus for a fifth or sixth year. It certainly wasn't even a consideration when those players arrived in 2016 or 2017.
"For us, I think it's around $100,000 per player to have them on campus for a year," said an SEC assistant coach. "That's one of the things that came up in meetings. That's one of the issues saying a year didn't count."
At some point, the finances will catch up to these programs. Several FBS programs plan to sign fewer players this year — and possibly in the future as well — to help mitigate those costs and stay comfortably under the 85 scholarship limit.
"It's school to school," the Big Ten assistant said. "We plan to sign a full class, but some schools budget-wise can't do it. Others have always operated in the black, so they don't feel the constraints of it the same way."
Bottom line, there are fewer scholarships for high school seniors this year.
And the clock is ticking.
"Add in the transfer portal and guys getting an extra year of eligibility and it's getting harder," Vero Beach coach Lenny Jankowski said. "It's harder for a high school kid to get recruited."

As Covid-19 tears through Navajo Nation, young people step up to protect their elders
By Mona Gable
Molly Ferguson for STAT
Michelle Tom stared into the screen. The Navajo doctor had just finished a grueling shift at the Winslow Indian Health Care Center urgent care facility in Winslow, Ariz., caring for Covid-19 patients. Now, she was spending her Friday night speaking via livestream to Native American youth about the pandemic.
"I've seen it hit everyone," she said of the coronavirus. "But I have the strength of my ancestors, the strength of my prayers, and the strength of all of you. We have to keep talking about it, especially to our young people."
In recent weeks, similar messages have resounded across the Navajo Nation, as younger generations have come to play a pivotal grassroots role in the pandemic response. They have moved quickly for good reason. Navajo residents have been devastated as the virus has swept through a reservation that spans four states. Already, 4,633 people have tested positive for the coronavirus, and 153 have died as of May 23, a staggering toll in a population of 356,000 — and the highest infection rate of anywhere in the U.S.
Young Navajos are motivated, in large part, by a desire to protect their elders — many of whom have underlying health conditions and who are at high risk of Covid-19 — and the vital cultural knowledge they carry. Frustrated by the federal government's slow response, and worried about their loved ones, they have mobilized to provide health information, assistance, and supplies so their elders can stay safe at home. Those efforts have been key as the Navajo Nation struggles to contain the pandemic across its vast lands.
The world needs Covid-19 vaccines. It may also be overestimating their power
"What's sacred to us is our elders," said Allie Young, a 30-year-old screenwriter who grew up in the Navajo Nation outside Shiprock, N.M. "And tied to our elders are our language and our traditional practices, stories and culture. With this virus, there's a threat to that. Because when our elders are dying, that knowledge goes with them that we're still learning."
The virus has proven particularly difficult to combat on the reservation, where many families live in multigenerational households that make social distancing and quarantining harder. Those challenges were compounded by the weekslong wait for federal aid from the CARES Act to arrive as the pandemic raged. Young Navajos, sensing that help could not wait, are now leading a variety of response efforts, from donation drives to deliver much-needed water and food, to social media campaigns to reach isolated residents, to recruiting medical volunteers to staff clinics.
Young — who recently moved from Los Angeles back to Shiprock to be with family — knew it was critical to communicate with elders as the deadly virus spread. She also knew that would be difficult, given that some residents lack internet access and even electricity. So she created a social media campaign called Protect the Sacred that instead targets tech-savvy young people, in the hope they'd bring accurate information about the virus to their own loved ones.
Since launching in late March, Protect the Sacred has held three livestreams featuring Navajo health care professionals like Tom, political leaders, and celebrity allies such as actor Mark Ruffalo and filmmaker Taika Waititi. The celebrities draw young people in — but public health officials have been able to use the panels as a way to dispense advice and beg young people to stay home.
"It's up to you to protect yourself, your community, and your elders."
Jill Jim, executive director, Navajo Nation Department of Health
"Even as young as you are, you can be a transmitter if you're not careful. It's up to you to protect yourself, your community, and your elders," Jill Jim, executive director of the Navajo Nation Department of Health, warned Navajo youth during one of the sessions.
Building on the success of Protect the Sacred, Young and Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez recently rolled out another campaign, #NavajoStrong, to collect financial donations and recruit badly needed medical professionals. Before a 57-hour curfew locked down the reservation recently, Young, Nez, and a caravan of volunteers — including chef Jose Andres and actor Sean Penn — donned masks, bright green vests, and gloves to deliver supplies to more than 500 families.
Like Young, Kyle Jim, a 32-year-old Shiprock resident who works with nonprofits, realized the hardships his people faced early on. As the virus hit, he grew deeply concerned after seeing his neighbors flood the town's only grocery store. Although he knew the tribal government was providing some aid to communities, he knew many families were falling through the cracks. The reservation also relies on emergency assistance from 110 local chapter houses, which were closed due to the virus. He feared some residents — especially those without transportation — would struggle to get food or other essentials.
So Jim and his 24-year-old sister, Bree Lameman, who returned home from the University of Arizona when the pandemic hit, launched the "Northern Dine Covid-19 Relief Effort." They quickly rallied young community leaders, organizers, and volunteers to help identify what families needed and to solicit donations, from baby supplies and cleaning products to fresh produce and water. In the 10 weeks since they began, they've assisted more than 600 families.

As they've traveled across the reservation over the last two months, they've found that there's also a need to resolve confusion about Covid-19. "A lot of people don't know what the coronavirus is," Lameman said. "They think it's a simple cough or flu you get over."
The grassroots relief efforts among young Navajos have also stretched to those living afar. Miranda Beyale, who works in a fifth grade classroom in Rio Rancho, N.M., watched in alarm as the virus began sweeping through her homeland. After Beyale and her siblings moved their 62-year-old mother from Shiprock into Beyale's one-bedroom apartment to keep her safe, Beyale and a colleague who is also Navajo decided they needed to do more.
"We felt a sense of obligation to put our young minds into action," said Beyale, who is 32.
After starting a relief drive through their school's parent-teacher association, they were swamped with precious supplies like hand sanitizer, wipes, shampoo, books, toys, and school supplies. They then put together care packages, which were delivered to dozens of families around Shiprock. They even received a donation of dozens of boxes of Girl Scout cookies for nurses on the frontline, each tagged with an inspirational message.
Beyale's brother, Graham Beyale, helped ferry the boxes to the Northern Navajo Medical Center. Graham, like so many other young people, has looked for ways to protect not only his community, but also his own family. Before the virus struck the reservation, Graham was living with some cousins and their elderly parents. He quickly moved out and into a tent on some farmland he is cultivating with friends to grow crops.
Coronavirus pandemic threatens to take crushing toll on rural areas, data show
But like countless Navajo families affected by the pandemic, the Beyale siblings have not been spared. Their father collapsed on Mother's Day after being infected with the virus. He remains hospitalized and on a ventilator, his family unable to visit.
For the Beyales and many others in their generation, the intensely personal nature of the crisis has become a call to action. That's been true as well for Heather Tanana, a 37-year-old lawyer who lives in Salt Lake City. She felt helpless watching the virus tear through her birthplace — and threaten her own family. Her 73-year-old father, a Navajo physician, works at an Indian Health Services clinic in Monument Valley and is one of the few doctors who speak Navajo.
One of eight children from a large extended family, Tanana has also had loved ones fall to Covid-19. "Every time we lose one of my dad's siblings, one of our elders, it is really disheartening," she said.
Tanana and some colleagues who volunteer on the Indian Child Welfare Act committee were talking about how to help the community when they came up with a plan. After reaching out to her network, and local health and social service agencies, she launched Utah Tribal COVID-19 Relief, or UTCR.
"All of us have full-time jobs, but we are either personally or professionally connected to tribal communities," she said of her 11 partners. "A good portion of us are Native members who are worried about our families on the reservation."

A roundup of STAT's top stories of the day.
The group posted a long wish list online for donations — cloth masks, diapers, thermometers, bottled water, and more — and also asked for financial contributions. The response was more than Tanana even envisioned. They collected enough supplies to fill two large trucks and raised more than $15,000.
But the success has been bittersweet. Just two weeks ago, Tanana's 76-year-old grandmother died in a nursing home near Gallup, N.M., of Covid-19. The day she found out, one of her partners sent her a photo of the logo for a new relief drive for the Navajo Nation. "In a time of darkness, it made me feel joy that people would do that for individuals they don't know," she said.
Initially, Tanana's project was going to last two weeks. But because of the halting response from the government, and the ongoing uncertainty about the pandemic, she and her partners are considering whether to continue their work. "Everyone expects the need to be there," she said. "There's a lot of attention now, but what about in the fall?"

Please tune into Dr John Campbell on YouTube regarding vit D3 and immunity. The majority of Americans are deficient and it's worse for non-anglos. The only benefit to Caucasian skin is it makes vit D faster in sunlight than darker skin. Indigenous natives in Australia , black Americans and Latinos as well as First Nations need more Vitamin D to support their immune functions . Stay safe

Welcome to Year 5! We have a very exciting term ahead of us. To begin with, we will be travelling back in time to the Tudor Age and find out about how the world changed after the brave explorers of this historical period circumnavigated the Globe. Our creative curriculum will help us learn about Tudor Navigators in: Literacy, History, Geography, Computing, DT and Art!
In class, we will be discovering lots about key explorers such as Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh; their amazing discoveries and voyages and how their histories have influenced our lives today.
Our Science lessons will take us from the Earth to deep Space as we look at life processes in plants and animals as well as unlocking the secrets of the solar system and mapping far flung constellations.
In French, we will continue to build on our knowledge from last term as we explore the use of questioning phrases and vocabulary to describe weather and transport to different destinations.
In Numeracy, we will continue to master the four rules of number using the schools strategies to support the children's understanding. As well as working on our times tables each week, we will spend time on solving logic and word problems, 24 hour clock, angles, perimeter, area and reflection as well as reflection and translation of shapes.
In Literacy, the children will read and write information texts as well as creating diaries about key personalities we have researched for our creative topics. Each of these texts will be used as a 'launch' to inspire the children to develop their own writing skills in each genre. The children have already started to produce some fantastic pieces of writing which will continue to improve as we introduce increasingly sophisticated techniques to engage them in this subject.
In R.E. we will learn about the Sikh faith, which will include a visit to a local Sikh Temple, and we will be preparing for Easter with lessons to deepen our knowledge of Christ's Passion.
PE will be very active and exciting this term! The children will benefit from coaching in the skills required to compete in an inter-Trust Tag Rugby completion. For indoor PE, the children will be given the opportunity to use the gymnastics equipment to practise their balance and strength.
We look forward to celebrating the children's achievements with you throughout the term.

Lake Ol' Bolossat is the only lake in central Kenya. The lake forms the headwaters for the Ewaso Ng'iro River, which supports the livelihoods of communities, livestock and wildlife in the dry Laikipia, Samburu, Isiolo and Garissa Counties. Despite its small size (43.3km2) the freshwater lake is known for its rich biodiversity that include hippos and over 300 bird species (both residents and migrants). The lake lies within the central tourism circuit, and supplies Nyahururu town with water. The Ewaso Nyiro River supports the thriving wildlife tourism in Buffalo Springs, Shaba National Reserve, and Lorian swamp in Wajir, where the river goes underground, to re-emerge in Somalia where it joins the Jubba River.

Continue developing a morning ritual, allowing for sleep when needed.
Record your food with pictures or a sentence. No measuring needed. No judgment. All foods are fine.
Molly has a big smile for me when I see her. She takes her seat and places a notebook and pen on the table.
Jen: Hi, Molly. It's so good to see you! Looks like you have come prepared today.
Molly: I am ready! I plan to take notes each time we meet now so I can remember my wins and goals. Oh, and any epiphanies I have.
Jen: Well, go ahead and write that down as a win. Taking notes is brilliant, Molly.
Molly: (Grinning and writing) I didn't even think of that! Yep, that's a win!
Jen: How was your week? What other wins did you have?
Molly: My morning routine was successful. I was able to get up early five days out of the week. Nathan, my youngest is now getting up earlier too, but I'm trying different things to keep him occupied. One of the most successful was drinking my coffee while he played in the bath. It seemed a little weird to drink my coffee in the bathroom but it kept him happy and busy long enough for me to enjoy it instead of drinking it cold two hours later.
Jen: You're an incredible mom. And at the same time, finding a great way to continue to honor yourself. Huge wins!
Molly: (Smiling) I thought so too! I was frustrated the first time it happened and let it ruin my morning. Then I remembered that part of the reason I needed the quiet time was for my babies. I am a better mom when I have that time. So, it was a bit silly for me to be mad when they are one of the biggest reasons for doing it in the first place.
Jen: You could write a page about that as a win too! We may need to meet for two hours just to give you time to write!
Molly: (Laughing) What a great problem to have, right?
Jen: Yes! What other strategies do you have for company during your quiet morning time?
Molly: Hmm, my sister runs in the morning and she offered to push him in his stroller. We have a jogging stroller. I just don't use it much.
Jen: Excellent solution! It's a great back up.
Molly: One of the good things about him getting up early was that he went down for a nap. The other three stopped napping at 18 months, so I should have another year of napping with him. At least, I hope so! It was so nice to be able to make lunch while he was napping. I was even able to get some one-on-one reading time with my oldest, Charlotte. Normally that only happens at bedtime. We're reading Charlotte's Web. It helped her get over her fear of spiders.
Jen: You truly are a gifted mom! These kids are so fortunate to have such a tuned-in mama! What a brilliant idea to help her deal with that fear! And I can't think of a better book! Have you warned her about the ending?
Molly: Oh yes! Even though she's the oldest, she's my most sensitive kid. She tried to act tough but I know underneath all that she is just a sweet pea. Before we started the book, I told her what to expect.
Jen: I did that when we read Narnia. It was still tough! At least mine were older when we read Harry Potter!
Molly: I can't wait to share that series with her. So much to share!
Jen: Endless possibilities! They will be voracious readers because of the time you took to share these books with them.
Molly: I truly hope so! My mom always read to me when I was young. Then, when I could read, we would take turns at the dinner table. It was just her and I and my baby sister. We went through a lot together, ups and downs. I think sharing a novel, no matter what it was, was a way to keep us connected. She was a tough mom. So many rules and expectations. But looking back, and being a mom myself, I can understand why she was so strict. My friends were hanging out and making dumb choices, and I was at home doing chores and homework. I was mad at the time, but I'm so thankful now. She's the best grandma too. Although, she seems to have forgotten all the rules! My kids can't do anything wrong in her eyes!
Jen: (Laughing) That's the best kind of grandma! It sounds like you and your mom went through a lot but found a way to stay connected. Is she local?
Molly: She lives two streets over. She is retired and remarried. She's very involved in the kids' lives. It's good to have her so close.
Jen: You are fortunate, and so are the kids.
Molly: She was the one that recommended the notebook for our meetings.
Jen: I like her already!
Molly: (Laughing) She would like you too!
Jen: Any more wins you want to share?
Molly: The morning routine seems to help me be more calm, even in frustrating moments. We went shopping for new shoes and I told Charlotte to bring socks with her at least five times. Of course, we get there and…no socks. Instead of blowing up or blaming her, I hugged her and told her that I forget things too. I mean, she's five years old! Even though she is the oldest, she is still a baby. I could have easily had her wear sneakers and socks, or put a pair in my purse instead of continuing to say it to her. I'm not saying she doesn't need to learn responsibility, or to listen. It was just a moment of clarity for me. Being five and a big sister to three little boys isn't easy. And I don't need to blame her for my lack of planning.
Jen: How did Charlotte react when you hugged her?
Molly: Her face relaxed and she seemed lighter all day long. She tends to be my serious child. She also played with the boys in the back yard when we got home. Hmm, I didn't realize it at the time but I don't think there was a single argument the rest of the day.
Molly: If I feel more patient, and I behave in a more understanding way, it has to transfer to them in some way. No. I don't think it's a coincidence at all.
Jen: Funny thing about kids, they're little mirrors. When you are stressed, they feel it and often act out. When you are relaxed and calm, they are too.
Molly: Yet another reason to do my morning routine.
Molly: (Laughing) Hold on while I write that down!
Molly: Now comes the part of today that I have been dreading! I think it's a win that I actually logged my food every day but I am so nervous about what you think. I know I already told you that I don't eat very well, but showing you is so scary and uncomfortable.
Jen: I thought you did an incredible job of logging your food. I think it's the most complete food log I've ever seen. Win. Also, I saw many things in there that were very healthy and good for your body. Win. I thought it took great courage and trust to write everything down. Win. And it took determination to stick with it for seven whole days. Win.
Jen: Tell me about what you're feeling right now.
Molly: I ate ice cream. And snickers.
Jen: I saw that. You also ate salmon, asparagus, romaine and grilled chicken.
Molly: And wine. And bacon.
Jen: And eggs and fruit salad.
Molly: You just aren't going to let me feel bad, are you?
Jen: Why would you feel bad? It's just food.
Molly: But I thought that food was the whole purpose of our meetings.
Molly: Then why do I feel so bad? And guilty?
Jen: It's a belief. And you associate the candy, ice cream, and wine with everything that isn't working in your life. And then you blame yourself for not being more disciplined.
Molly: But I'm the one eating it.
Molly: So, what you're saying it that it doesn't matter what I eat?
Jen: It matters more how you feel about what you're eating.
Molly: So, I can live on ice cream as long as I feel good about it?
Jen: Do you feel good about living on ice cream? Is it okay with you if Charlotte starts living on ice cream?
Jen: What foods do you feel good about?
Molly: Well, salmon, eggs, fruit salad, asparagus, and the chicken. But I love the taste of the ice cream and the snickers keeps me from losing my cool when I'm stressed. And the wine is something my husband and I enjoy together at night.
Jen: Do you feel good about the snickers or not losing your cool?
Molly: Obviously not losing my cool.
Jen: So, what food do you feel good about?
Molly: I don't know. I don't know how I feel now. It's confusing. I guess I need to figure out what you mean exactly.
Jen: Let's separate the physical feeling from the emotion for each of the things you mentioned. First, the salmon, vegetables, eggs and chicken. How do they make you feel physically?
Molly: That's easy. I feel satisfied and full but not overfull.
Jen: How do you feel about eating those foods?
Molly: Hmm, proud. I know they are good for me. And I liked logging them. I think people who are fit and healthy eat those foods too.
Jen: Now let's talk about the ice cream. Why do you eat it and how does it make you feel both physically and emotionally?
Molly: I eat it because it tastes good and I crave it. I have never really thought about how it makes me feel physically. Full, I guess. Maybe not though because I always want a second bowl. Emotionally, I feel guilty because I imagine it goes straight to my thighs.
Jen: How about the Snickers bar?
Molly: I grab those when I'm stressed. I know it's wrong because I sneak away to eat it, and hide the wrapper in the trash. Sometimes I eat two. It never feels good. I always feel terrible after I eat it. Lots of regret, and criticizing myself for being so weak. I don't know how it feels physically because I never paid attention. I guess the yelling in my head is too loud to focus on how it makes me feel.
Jen: This is big. Should we do the wine next?
Molly: Yes, just give me one minute.
Jen: Lots of questions marks with that candy bar.
Molly: I had no idea I was adding to my stress. I thought it was helping.
Jen: I love the chart you created. It helped you reach that conclusion quickly.
Molly: Can we make a goal?
Jen: Of course. Do you want to have the chart every time you eat or only with certain foods?
Molly: I think I want to use it at the end of each day or maybe once or twice a week. That's more likely because of the time it will take. I want to honest with myself.
Jen: Will you be able to remember how you felt before you ate the foods?
Molly: I'm not sure but I can always make changes once I start. If doing it later doesn't work, I can find a way to add the before to my food log.
Molly: Okay. The goal is to focus on the foods that I'm eating and fill in the chart. It's okay if I forget some or only look at a few things.
Jen: Beautiful and supportive goal. You gave yourself the guidelines, and showed compassion for a busy and full life. I love it!
Molly: I want to keep logging my meals as well.
Jen: Would you like to choose an area to make a simple swap as well or does that feel like too much to add this week?
Molly: No, I think it's fine. Do you have a suggestion?
Jen: I'd like you to start your day by sipping a glass of water.
Molly: (Laughing) Are you joking? That's easy!
Jen: Okay, then let's talk about breakfast. I'd love for you to start your day with some protein. How do you feel about yogurt?
Molly: Love it! The kids love it too so that would be easy.
Jen: Here's where it gets a bit more complicated. I want you to read the grams of sugar in the yogurt that you normally buy, and I want you to find one with 2-4 grams less per serving.
Molly: I don't think there's that much sugar in the yogurt we buy. We usually buy strawberry or blueberry. But okay. I can do that.
Jen: So, the goal is to eat yogurt 2-3 times this week for breakfast.
Molly: It seems too easy.
Jen: The good thing about goals that are easy is that they are easy to complete. I want you to feel success. Also, if you get off track, it's easy to find your way back.
Molly: To be honest, I still think it's not enough but I will follow your lead since you're the coach.
Jen: (Smiling) I appreciate your faith in me.
Molly: Plus, I'll be a handful next week when I come with all my goals complete.
Jen: (Laughing) I look forward to it!
Molly: Thanks! Have a good week!
Continue logging food and then, using the Food/Mood Chart, log foods and feelings. Practice compassion during busy times when there is no time to log.
Start your day by sipping on 4-6 oz. of water.
While shopping for yogurt, read the grams of sugar in your regular yogurt, and find a brand with 2-4 grams less per serving.
Eat yogurt for breakfast 2-3 times this week.

Facebook Will Let Politicians Violate Its Rules On Speech, Taking A Page From Twitter
Kenrick CaiForbes Staff
I cover tech, with a focus on startups and artificial intelligence.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress in 2018 for his company's role in meddling ... [+] during the 2016 U.S. election. It wants to approach 2020 differently, said Nick Clegg, Facebook's vice president of global affairs and communications.
Facebook announced Tuesday that it would allow politicians to bypass its community standards because it considers political speech "newsworthy."
The policy applies to any content from a politician that isn't an ad, said Nick Clegg, Facebook's vice president of global affairs and communications, during a speech at the Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C. The company implemented an exemption three years ago that allowed content violating the rules—for example, nudity or violence—to be permitted on the site if Facebook deemed it newsworthy. The rule was instated one month after Facebook was embroiled in controversy for repeatedly deleting images of "Napalm Girl," a Pulitzer Prize-winning Vietnam War photograph. Now, Clegg said the company is taking things a step further by greenlighting guideline-violating speech from politicians by default, "as a general rule."
"It is not our role to intervene when politicians speak," he said. "I know some people will say we should go further, that we are wrong to allow politicians to use our platform to say nasty things or make false claims. But imagine the reverse: Would it be acceptable to society at large to have a private company in effect become a self-appointed referee for everything that politicians say? I don't believe it would be."
In June, Twitter said that it would not prohibit politicians' tweets that violated its rules, if the politician met certain criteria for noteworthiness. For Twitter-verified government officials with more than 100,000 followers, the company instead introduced a notice to preface these tweets that states: "The Twitter Rules about abusive behavior apply to this Tweet. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public's interest for the Tweet to remain available."
Facebook currently considers politicians to be officials or candidates at the executive, national and regional levels. The company's fact-checking program already exempts politicians, so if someone makes an inaccurate claim during a debate, content related to that claim will not be flagged by Facebook. Politicians will be held to the same standards as other users if they publish an advertisement on Facebook, though these ads will not be vetted by fact-checkers, either.
During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Facebook was prominently used by candidates as part of their political strategies. Donald Trump's usage of the platform was perhaps the most high-profile, as he posted controversial content such as a parody of Pokemon Go called "Crooked Hillary."

The new rule does exempt speech that could cause harm to individuals in the real world. Facebook will make this determination by evaluating the "public interest value" of a piece of content against the risk of harm, Clegg clarified in a blog post after the speech. The company admitted last year that its platform catalyzed violence in Myanmar and that it did not do enough to stop the hate speech.
Last month, the company demanded more information from organizations that want to run political ads ahead of the 2020 U.S. election, one way Facebook wants to approach 2020 differently than the 2016 election—a race in which, Clegg said during his speech, "Facebook made mistakes."

Q: Empathy doesn't show the message, only "minus" signal I'm using Empathy on my Ubuntu (13.10) and sometimes when I receive the first message, it open the windows, but doesn't show any message, only the "-1 not readed".
Any idea what that means?

A: it's a bug i believe. The workaround is to close the window, open empathy and double-click on the contact name to open a new window. The text will then show up.
Please, sign in on launchpad and add yourself to the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-messages/+bug/1019609, it will add some weight so it gets fixed faster :)

Hyperion Brewing Company Coming to Springfield
Modern Cities has been notified by www.sparcouncil.org that Jacksonville's next craft brewery will be coming to Springfield's 8th & Main Streets.

According to co-owner Alexandra McKeown, "Hyperion Brewing Company has chosen to lease 1740/1744 N Main Street from Petra Realty. Like many breweries in Jacksonville, the mix between the light manufacturing of beer and serving directly to consumers through our taproom requires a special zoning with the City. The property is currently zoned CCG-S (Commercial Springfield) and we would like to change it to a PUD (Planned Unit Development). We will maintain the structure and current facade of the space. The only renovations will be to the interior of the property. Our business is built on freedom of choice, meaning we want to serve you a beer that you'd like to drink while opening your mind and taste buds to new flavors and styles.
It was with careful consideration that we choose to move into Springfield and we look forward to becoming apart of the community there. We would be grateful to all who can show their support throughout our rezoning process and we'll communicate more details on how you can support soon."
Courtesy of Hyperion Brewing Company
Hyperion Brewing Company's goal is to serve an endlessly rotating line-up of beers with a unique and refreshing taproom experience. Committed to quality, their brewery will provide beers that range from classics and forgotten styles, to recipes that push the limit of what modern craft beer can be.
Plans for the business are to serve Jacksonville only initially. In an October 2015 Metro Jacksonville article McKeown stated, "We've modeled the brewery after other successful nano-breweries across the country. We think that model will thrive in Jacksonville but when demand exceeds our ability to supply the market we will re-invest, expand and strive to add to Jacksonville's credibility as a tourist destination for beer."

Authors stress importance of informed, scientific opinions in the policy process.
At a time when scientists in some sectors are increasingly constrained in what they are allowed to say about their climate related research findings, it is more important than ever to highlight the informed opinions of New Brunswick's scientists on how ecosystems may change with rising temperatures and precipitation. Policy making in natural resources management often involves making trade-offs between short-term economic gain and long-term environmental impacts. Biologists and ecologists have important, detailed knowledge about cause and effect and potential consequences to the natural world due to human activities.
Tom Beckley, professor of forestry and environmental management at UNB; Shawn Dalton, senior consultant and owner of Thrive Consulting; and Arielle DeMerchant, master environmental management candidate, recently released a report entitled 'Potential Effects of Climate Change on New Brunswick Freshwater and Terrestrial Ecosystems' to New Brunswick's Department of Environment.
Funded by the province's Environmental Trust Fund, the report provides an overview of research-informed opinions from New Brunswick's leading experts in aquatic and terrestrial ecology.
Dr. Beckley says the report allows the voices of forestry and biology experts to be heard by government, something he says is of utmost importance to addressing issues surrounding climate change.
"A lot of what policy-makers do is risk-assessment," said Dr. Beckley. "They are weighing long-term costs and risks against short-term gains. Scientists usually prefer to limit their public comments to the narrow confines of their specific data and studies. This means scientists rarely like to talk about the future. But the public trusts scientists and when surveyed nearly always put scientists at the top of the list of people who should be guiding decision-making on resource management issues and their environmental effects."
The authors of this report encouraged roughly 40 scientists to go 'outside their comfort zone,' and provide some informed speculation about the potential impacts that could arise with altered temperature and moisture regimes associated with global warming. "Research-driven speculation by the province's leading scientific experts is one of the best tools we have to predict the effects of and combat climate change." Dr. Beckley said. "Some scientists feel their credibility is at stake by speculating, but I argue that if we don't make our work and opinions public, then our governments and industries are left to make environmental decisions without some of the most informed opinions and the best knowledge available."
The experts agree that by mid-century New Brunswick's mean annual precipitation and temperatures will be higher and there will be more extreme weather events. One common conclusion was that by 2050, New Brunswick's rivers and forests will be different, but not radically different than today.
"Many noted that because of the natural diversity of the Acadian Forest, change will occur slowly and our ecosystem may be more resilient than some others," said Ms. Demerchant. "However, many said that we'll see a decline in the balsam fir and white spruce and we could see higher numbers of red oak. We could see a decline in the number of Canada lynx, but an increase in white-tailed deer. Many believe Atlantic salmon and brook trout numbers will continue to drop and we could see a different variation of bird species compared to what we have today."
Virtually all the scientists interviewed say the specific drivers of ecological change are extremely difficult to predict, and many agree that the appropriate response to this is to try to maintain diversity in our ecosystems. Most also agree that targeted efforts to help particular species or ecotypes are less important than dealing with the problem at the source: reducing emissions.

The Taliesin Affair by Steve Turnbull
December 10, 2018 Reviewfeatured guest, lesbian affairs., murder, mystery, racial discrimination, snobbery, social classes, steam machinery, steampunk, Steve Turnbull, strong women characters, Taliesin AffairJayne Lockwood
The Taliesin Affair is an interesting book, a mix of whodunnit, social history and steampunk, a genre I haven't read before.
I wasn't convinced at first. The main protagonist, Maliha Anderson, seemed a remote and cold figure, which didn't bode well when she was the driving force of the plot. But as the story progressed, I began to respect her more. She is of mixed race, with a daily struggle against prejudice and snobbery, and that had given her a hard shell to protect herself. She is also highly intelligent. We see the thoughts going through her head as she tries to unravel the mystery of the body in the library. The victim is a bully who has given Mahila grief in the past, so she isn't sad about her demise. This is understandable, but Mahila seems unable to show any emotion at all, which led me to believe maybe I had missed a crucial part of her character.
She is ably assisted by a much warmer friend, Margaret, inexplicably known as Sadie, who smoothes Mahila's path through the social minefield. There is always a danger when major characters have code names and suchlike, as it makes a complex plot sometimes harder to follow. It helps that Margaret (Sadie) has to be reminded from time to time that she is working undercover. She's a perfect foil to the serious Mahila, and provides a welcome lightness of tone.
There is a subtle humour running through the book, so subtle sometimes I wondered if I was imagining it. As a whodunnit, with definite Agatha Christie undertones and a social commentary, it is an excellent read. Glad to see the women taking charge for a change, and for the author not to fall into the trap of so many stories about privileged boarding schools. I couldn't find a single overdone stereotype. Mahila's interest in machinery was an intriguing element as well, and could have been used more in relation to the plot, rather than just providing interesting scenery.
So although I found the main character hard to identify with, The Taliesin Affair was an enjoyable and ambitious read, and an interesting addition to the crime genre. Worth noting the lesbian romance running in the background, handled with grace and dignity.
Beautiful cover as well.
Boarding school can be hell – sometimes it can be MURDER
So far from her home in India, Maliha Anderson did not enjoy life in her British boarding school, but discovering the school bully murdered certainly made it more interesting.
And when the police chose the wrong person as the most likely suspect, Maliha decides to investigate and reveal the true culprit.
But, as the bodies mount up, the murder becomes a plot, and the plot becomes a conspiracy aimed at the heart of the British Empire.
When Maliha herself comes under suspicion, she realises her only chance lies in a dangerous gambit that risks the lives of herself and the people she's come to know.
This is Maliha Anderson's first case but can be read at any point in the series (except perhaps between books 5 and 6).


Being involved in a motorcycle crash, whether or not it is your first experience, is both terrifying and confusing. Often, in the wake of an accident, both immediate and in the weeks following, victims and their loved ones are unsure of what course of action to take and how to find justice if the accident was caused by another person.
Being aware of what to do in case of an accident, or if you or a loved one have recently been involved in one, is crucial in both preserving your rights and hope for the future.
At King Law Firm, Ray King, an experienced Austin motorcyclist injury lawyer has dedicated his career to the wellbeing of those injured in crashes. His knowledge and insight can be passed on to you through a free consultation by calling us today at (512) 637-1000. By learning your rights under Texas law, you can give yourself the best chance to recover from a motorcycle crash.
After being involved in a crash, there are several actions that must be taken immediately at the scene of the accident. Motorcyclists who are able to should exchange contact and insurance information with all other parties involved in the crash. Most importantly, seek immediate medical attention. This is both for the sake of your own health, as motorcycle riders often suffer critical injuries in a crash, and your potential future claim. Documenting your injuries and proving that they resulted from the crash is vital to your case.
To prove that your accident was not your fault, thorough and clear evidence must be gathered from the crash. Evidence includes eye witness testimony, photos of the crash site, proof of the injuries suffered and damage to vehicles, police reports, and any video that may have been taken by nearby cameras. Together, this builds a reenactment of the accident that can show how and why the crash occurred.
Motorcycle crash victims or their family members can file a claim with the insurance provider of the at-fault party. Through negotiations with the insurance representative using evidence and testimony that has been found, fault and the need for compensation can be proved. Not all negotiations work out correctly, but Texas law allows such cases to be moved into court for a trial before judge and jury in order to find proper compensation. While this is less common, it is still probable and the aid of experienced legal representation will be necessary. Legal representation is, in fact, recommended both during negotiations or a court case to have the best chance of success.
Motorcyclists injured in a crash can suffer major injuries that require emergency medical care, surgery, rehabilitation, and possibly continued medical care due to disabilities. In turn, these medical issues can cost large amounts of money and the injuries can prevent a victim from being able to work. Monetary compensation from at-fault parties can pay for these losses, allowing a victim to recover to the best of his or her abilities and cope with their losses. Without such aid, victims may never fully recover or possibly worsen, putting more burdens upon themselves and their loved ones.
As both an experienced rider and attorney representing the needs of motorcyclists injured due to the actions of others, Austin motorcycle crash attorney Ray King understands the needs of victims after an accident. Attorney King and the entire legal team at King Law Firm are dedicated to the rights of each injured client, providing well-rounded and skilled representation tailored to prove fault and the right to compensation in each individual case.

Every surface reflects many colors that have to shown. Every colors makes me feel different and is conected with a certain mood and sensation that's why my paintings are so colorful and differ from each other. I love to paint portrait's and body's in nature to show the perfect balance between us and nature. i have been practicing oil painting since the age of 13 and till now it is my biggest passion. I love what I do.
