A side impact collision, also called a T-bone accident, is an accident involving a driver hitting the side of another motor vehicle. The driver may hit the passenger or driver side of the car.
If you are involved in a side impact accident, Georgia law allows you to obtain compensation via a personal injury lawsuit.
Due to their nature, side impact collisions are one of the most dangerous and deadly forms of car accidents occurring on Georgia roads. Injuries typically sustained in a side impact accident may vary depending on the seriousness of the impact.
You can obtain compensation from your side impact accident in one of two ways - settlement or lawsuit. A settlement is a negotiated agreement between you and the at-fault party. You accept a lump sum or series of payments, and in return, you give up your right to sue.
The driver did not uphold that legal duty to protect you. This means they breached their legal duty not to cause an accident.
Financial costs will occur, as well. These expenses can include medical bills for you or your children, lost or reduced wages, pain and suffering, repair and rental bills, and even funeral expenses and wrongful death benefits. It is not easy to recover, both physically and financially from the effect of a serious car accident. Often, negligent drivers and their insurance companies are uncooperative and are capable of delaying and denying responsibility for the harm caused. They may try to avoid liability even though it is the right thing to do.
This is why it is vital to have a seasoned lawyer who has dealt with insurance companies and reticent defendants on your side. A competent and wise attorney is essential to provide for a proper resolution after a side impact collision. If you have been injured or your property damaged after a side impact collision contact the Persons Firm by calling (770) 424-5125 immediately for a free consultation.

Andrew Walther remembered on All Saints' Day
Obituary No Comments
NEW HAVEN—Andrew Thomas Walther, president and chief operating officer of EWTN News, died Sunday evening in New Haven, Connecticut. Remembered first as a loving husband and father, in his life's work he was dedicated to serving the Catholic Church and defending persecuted religious minorities throughout the world. Walther was 45 years old.
In June, Walther joined EWTN News as president and COO. Shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with leukemia. During the course of his treatment, Walther continued to lead the EWTN News team and to serve both his family and the Church.
"Andrew Walther's death is a source of great sadness for all of us at EWTN and for me personally. Although Andrew had only been in his role as President and Chief Operating Officer of EWTN News since June, he had already accomplished so much. He had also been a friend and collaborator for many years before joining the Network. His death is a great loss for all who knew him, for EWTN and for the Church," Michael Warsaw, chief executive officer and EWTN board chairman, remembered November 2.
From 2005 until 2020, Walther worked for the Knights of Columbus, where he was Vice President for Communications and Strategic Planning. In that role, he served as an advisor to Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, while overseeing numerous initiatives for the Catholic fraternal organization, including a pandemic response campaign earlier this year and other crisis response projects.
Taking leadership roles in media and religious freedom advocacy, Walther also oversaw the Knights' polling and book publishing operations, which included several New York Times bestsellers. Together with his wife, Maureen, he co-authored "The Knights of Columbus: An Illustrated History," a book released this year.
Long devoted to the canonization cause of Father Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, Walther died one day after McGivney was formally beatified by the Church.
Walther's work on behalf of Middle Eastern Christians is especially noteworthy, and was particularly close to his heart.
He played an essential role in a Knights of Columbus effort to assist persecuted and refugee Christians, through a fund that has distributed more than $20 million in aid, especially in Syria, Iraq, and the surrounding region. The same effort offered on-the-ground assistance to Christians rebuilding lives, churches, and even towns destroyed by ISIS, including an effort to completely rebuild the Iraqi town of Karamles on the Nineveh Plain.
Walther's work in the region has been widely praised by bishops and other Christian leaders across the Middle East.
Born November 30, 1974, he was a California native and a lifelong Catholic. Walther earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in Classics from the University of Southern California, where he taught writing for several years, and was recognized with the university's Excellency in Teaching Award.
Walther began his career as a Catholic journalist writing for the National Catholic Register two decades ago.
"He was a man of deep faith and extraordinary gifts who always used his talents to serve others. He leaves behind a tremendous legacy that includes years of service to the Church, to the cause of persecuted Christians around the globe and to building up the culture of life. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Maureen and their four young children. He was a tremendous man and a wonderful friend whom I will miss greatly. That his death came on the Solemnity of All Saints is a great consolation to us all," Warsaw recalled.
Friends say that while he was accomplished outside the home, it was his family that brought Walther the most joy. Walther and his wife Maureen married in 2010, and are the parents of four children.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

Pentagon identifies Special Forces soldier killed in Afghanistan
We honor this fallen soldier's sacrifice.
By Jeff Schogol | Published Aug 31, 2019 4:48 PM
The Special Forces community is mourning the loss of another brother killed in Afghanistan this year: Sgt. 1st Class Dustin B. Ard, of 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne).
Ard, 31, was on his third deployment to Afghanistan when he died on Aug. 29 from wounds he sustained during combat operations in Zabul Province, Afghanistan, said Lt. Col. Loren Bymer, a spokesman for U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
He had recently been promoted to sergeant first class on Aug. 1 and has been posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, Bymer said.
"Sgt. 1st Class Ard's loss is felt across our 1st Special Forces Group Family," Col. Owen G. Ray, commander of 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), said in a news release. "Our priority now is to take care of his family and our soldiers and provide the best possible care that we can during this incredible time of need."
It has been a particularly deadly year in Afghanistan for U.S. troops. A total of 18 service members have died this year supporting Operation Freedom's Sentinel, including eight soldiers from Special Forces.
Jeff Schogol is the senior Pentagon reporter for Task & Purpose. He has covered the military for 15 years. You can email him at schogol@taskandpurpose.com, direct message @JeffSchogol on Twitter, or reach him on WhatsApp and Signal at 703-909-6488. Contact the author here.

Designs of Destruction The Making of Monuments in the Twentieth Century
By Lucia Allais (Author)

The twentieth century was the most destructive in human history, but from its vast landscapes of ruins was born a new architectural type: the cultural monument. In the wake of World War I, an international movement arose which aimed to protect architectural monuments in large numbers, and regardless of style, hoping not only to keep them safe from future conflicts, but also to make them worthy of protection from more quotidian forms of destruction. This movement was motivated by hopeful idealism as much as by a pragmatic belief in bureaucracy. An evolving group--including architects, intellectuals, art historians, archaeologists, curators, and lawyers--grew out of the new diplomacy of the League of Nations. During and after World War II, it became affiliated with the Allied Military Government, and was eventually absorbed by the UN as UNESCO. By the 1970s, this organization had begun granting World Heritage status to a global register of significant sites--from buildings to bridges, shrines to city centers, ruins to colossi. Examining key episodes in the history of this preservation effort--including projects for the Parthenon, for the Cathedral of St-L , the temples of Abu Simbel, and the Bamyian Buddahs --Lucia Allais demonstrates how the group deployed the notion of culture to shape architectural sites, and how architecture in turn shaped the very idea of global culture. More than the story of an emergent canon, Designs of Destruction emphasizes how the technical project of ensuring various buildings' longevity jolted preservation into establishing a transnational set of codes, values, practices. Yet as entire nations' monumental geographies became part of survival plans, Allais also shows, this paradoxically helped integrate technologies of destruction--from bombs to bulldozers--into cultural governance. Thus Designs of Destruction not only offers a fascinating narrative of cultural diplomacy, based on extensive archival findings; it also contributes an important new chapter in the intellectual history of modernity by showing the manifold ways architectural form is charged with concretizing abstract ideas and ideals, even in its destruction.

Aimé-Jules Dalou. Bacchus Consoling Ariadne. 1887–1897. France. Plaster Aimé-Jules Dalou was a protégé of the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux and spent his early years studying the art of the 18th century. His first success came with images of modern life, such as nursing mothers and infants, but he later undertook allegorical subjects and historical statues for public commissions in France's Third Republic. His sculpture Bacchus Consoling Ariadne revisits the small-scale world of Clodion's mythological terracottas; the plaster was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1892, and a marble based on it

It may have been used in several different ways—for example, like the roundels with highly projecting heads that have been reproduced by Marshall as door knockers, reverse sides of hand mirrors, and so on. Although they are made of bronze, this does not preclude that this schist plaque may have been set in a metal mount. There is also a precedence for objects of this type among the Begram plaster emblemata and terracottas, which may have served for making molds in clay, from which the metal scul

This feature, as well as the corpulence of the figure with a protuberant belly, often associated with yakshas, suggests that the image may represent Kubera, Pancika, or Jambhala, the king of the yakshas.

"Urban high cuisine" is painted above the windshield and seating consists of a yellow curb.

Esparza only started going down to Baja recently. He grew up in Stockton, California, as a self-described pocho (a Mexican-American who is more American than Mexican). After his father died in 2002, he says he started reconnecting with his roots, mainly through food.

Recently, though, the city has been changing. Fear and endless lines at the border have scared away the drunk college kids and, as if a fog has cleared, other elements of the city are now suddenly visible—especially the food. Thanks to its farm-friendly Mediterranean climate and proximity to the Pacific, Tijuana has access to raw ingredients that are as good as those anywhere on America's West Coast. And what it lacks in culinary tradition (Tijuana will never be Oaxaca), it makes up for with the mingling of flavors from Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Italian immigrants. And then there's the attitude: Not quite Mexico, not quite America, Tijuana's anything-goes vibe is evident everywhere, from the red-light district to the restaurants.

As a sign of Plascencia's clout, he recently convinced Tijuana's mayor to create a zona gastronómica—essentially adding streetlights and sidewalks, a rarity here—which includes a dozen or so restaurants, including Misión 19 and another adventurous spot, La Querencia.

House of the Dragon Teaser
Good morning, everyone! MSR here to report on some fairly important news…at least for me. I was, and still am, a big fan of Game of Thrones (Except the last season. Let's not go there) and today HBOMAX released a teaser trailer which contains the first footage for House of the Dragon, the GoT prequel series.
"Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did."
The tease didn't reveal much except show off the impressive cast. I was really hoping to see a dragon in the teaser, but it is still cool to see this come to fruition. There are some fans, who are still mighty ticked off about how the last season ended for GoT, but I think this might draw them back in the world of Westeros.
What else do we know? Well, HBO has given us some details.
This prequel will be be based on George R.R. Martin's "Fire & Blood," the series, which is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen.
Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen. Viserys was chosen by the lords of Westeros to succeed the Old King, Jaehaerys Targaryen, at the Great Council at Harrenhal. A warm, kind, and decent man, Viserys only wishes to carry forward his grandfather's legacy, but as we've learned from Game of Thrones, good men do not necessarily make for great kings.
Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower. She's the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. She was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen.
Emma D'Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. The king's first-born child. She is of pure Valyrian blood, and she is a dragonrider. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything…but she was not born a man.
Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen. The younger brother of King Viserys and heir to the throne, Daemon is a peerless warrior and a dragonrider who possesses the true blood of the dragon. But it is said that whenever a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin in the air…
Steve Toussaint as Lord Corlys Velaryon aka "The Sea Snake." The lord of House Velaryon, a Valyrian bloodline as old as House Targaryen, "The Sea Snake," is the most famed nautical adventurer in the history of Westeros. He built his house into a powerful seat that is even richer than the Lannisters and that claims the largest navy in the world.
Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Velaryon. A dragonrider and wife to Lord Corlys Velaryon, "The Queen Who Never Was" was passed over as heir to the throne at the Great Council because the realm favored her cousin, Viserys, simply for being male.
Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, who loyally and faithfully serves both his king and his realm. As the Hand sees it, the greatest threat to the realm is the king's brother, Daemon, and his position as heir to the throne.
Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria. She came to Westeros with nothing, sold more times than she can recall, and could have wilted…but instead she rose to become the most trusted — and most unlikely — ally of Prince Daemon Targaryen, the heir to the throne.
Fabien Frankel as Ser Criston Cole. Of Dornish descent, Ser Criston is the common-born son of the steward to the Lord of Blackhaven. He has no claim to land or titles; all he has to his name is his honor and his preternatural skill with a sword.
Milly Alcock as Young Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. She's the king's first-born child, of pure Valyrian blood, and she is a dragonrider. Many would say that Rhaenyra was born with everything…but she was not born a man.
Emily Carey will play Young Alicent Hightower, the daughter of Otto Hightower, the Hand of the King, and the most comely woman in the Seven Kingdoms. Alicent was raised in the Red Keep, close to the king and his innermost circle; she possesses both a courtly grace and a keen political acumen.
Ryan Corr as Ser Harwin 'Breakbones' Strong. Harwin is said to be the strongest man in the Seven Kingdoms. Ser Harwin is the eldest son to Master of Laws Lyonel Strong and heir to Harrenhal.
Jefferson Hall as twins Lord Jason Lannister and Tyland Lannister. Jason is the Lord of Casterly Rock. Tyland Lannister is a crafty and calculating politician.
David Horovitch as Grand Maester Mellos. He's a voice of reason and trusted advisor to King Viserys.
Graham McTavish as Ser Harrold Westerling. Ser Harrold has served in the Kingsguard since the days of King Jaehaerys; he is a paragon of chivalry and honor.
Matthew Needham as Larys Strong. The younger son of Master of Laws Lyonel Strong, he's brought to court by his father.
Bill Paterson plays Lord Lyman Beesbury, the Lord of Honeyholt and Master of Coin on King Viserys's small council.

Personally, I am excited. I wasn't sure if I would be, but seeing this trailer gave me all the old time feels I used to have for GoT. Being that dragons are my spirit animal, I can't wait to see more of the rise and fall of the Targaryens.
Yes, the sound you heard was Seppin and Rek rolling their eyes and groaning at my admission.
What do you think of the new teaser?

On a toasty September day in Boston, a rather spectacular wedding took place, of which I was honored to be a part. Brian and Stacey, the sweetest couple of all time, began their day at the grand hotel that is the Royal Sonesta of Boston. If you'd like a visual, picture sweeping views of the Boston skyline and the Charles River right out the back door. Even better, just look at the visual evidence below.
When I arrived, Stacey donned a satin robe and Ugg slippers, rather indicative of the tone of the day – classy, yet relaxed. It was a pretty stress-free prep time, and I had quite a time snapping detail images, because they were some of the most lovely details I've ever seen (look at her DRESS). We also managed to fit in a (tear-jerking) father-daughter first look, as well as some wedding party photos beside the Charles River. Then it was go time.
We hopped in a (fancy) van and made our way around the corner to the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center. Have you EVER BEEN THERE?! It's incredible. Just look. For real. The ceremony was in the movie-scene-like courtyard, an intimate space surrounded by trees and gardens – and so quiet you would NEVER know you were in the middle of Boston.
The quaint surrounding streets of Cambridge made for a wonderful backdrop for Brian and Stacey's photos. They also made great subjects, so my job was essentially handed to me. Thanks, guys!
Then we made our way back to the venue to begin the celebration. The newlyweds made their big reception entrance via the stairs descending from the balcony surrounding the upper half of the Multicultural Arts Center theater. As previously noted, this venue is grand, to say the least. For real, unreal. Ornate ceilings; Victorian details, all reminiscent of the day when this venue served as a fully operational theater. It was just the perfect backdrop for an evening of dancing and laughing and fun and also dessert.

The leading Palestinian militant group Hamas today vowed to exact revenge against Israel for its air strike on what Israeli officials called a militant training camp in Syria.
Hamas's armed wing, the Izz al-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, said in a statement faxed to Reuters that the targeted facility was a Palestinian refugee camp. "(Our) response to this serious escalation will be one of deterrence and it will happen soon in the depths of the criminal Zionist entity," it said.
Israeli warplanes struck in Syria a day after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 19 people in the Israeli port city of Haifa. Islamic Jihad, Hamas's close ally in a three-year-old revolt for statement, claimed responsibility for the bombing.
"We call on all the cells of the Izz al-Deen al-Qassam Brigades in all areas to quickly respond in the depths of the Zionist enemy to the treacherous aggression on Syria," said the statement by the Islamist faction's military wing.
"Any assault on any Arab and Muslim country is an assault on the Palestinian people, part of the Arab and Muslim nation.
"After the Haifa martyrdom attack, the criminal enemy has attempted to export its internal crisis caused by the Palestinian resistance so they launched an air attack on Syria targeting places for Palestinian refugees," it said.
"Israel has tried to chase those whom it displaced with the Zionist occupation decades ago..."
Israel said it targeted a training base used by "terror groups" including Islamic Jihad. It said the air strike was meant as a warning to stop Palesitnian militant groups operating on Syrian territory, an accusation that Damascus has denied.


What makes a company the best energy supplier for you?
Does it seem like your energy prices have skyrocketed? As winter approaches, it is important to make sure that you are using the best energy supplier for your home. That means good service, at reasonable prices.
The good news is that if you aren't satisfied with your gas and electric supplier, or think that you are paying too much, it is easier than ever to switch. In fact, you probably should switch. The energy industry is rare in that it does not reward loyalty with cheaper prices. In fact the longer you stick with a company the higher your prices tend to go. Therefore, there is almost certainly a cheaper tariff that you can be switched on to. What's more, once signed up switching happens seamlessly without any interruption in your energy supply.
In the UK it is uncommon to experience unexpected energy supply problems. Therefore, once you are signed up you rarely if ever need to contact your supplier. This means price should be the main criteria when finding the best supplier for you.
The energy companies vary the amount that they charge to their customers. This depends largely on the property's location and the amount that they sell in your area. They also take into account the amount that they pay themselves for the energy.
All gas and electricity comes through the same grid. Customer service is essentially the only difference between what suppliers offer. However, apart from when signing up to a company, or switching away from them, there is little or no need to interact with them. Therefore, to find the best energy supplier for your home the main thing to look our for is prices. This is particularly the case if you have a company like Switchd communicating with the suppliers for you.
When trying to find the best supplier to switch to it is important to know who your current energy supplier is. You can find out this information from a recent bill. If you don't have a bill or have recently moved in, however, help is at hand.
For your gas, you can use the Meter Point Administration Service – either online or by calling 0870 608 1524 (this will cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge).
To find out who your electricity supplier is, you can get in touch with the Energy Networks Association. Here you can find contact numbers for local distribution companies in each area of the UK. They can help you out if you contact them.
It is also a good idea to know approximately what your energy consumption is. This can be found on a past energy bill. If you don't have one, no worries – most energy websites can estimate it for you.
If you are renting who pays the bills? If it is your landlord you will need to ask them about switching.
Does your current tariff have an exit fee?
When you know who your current suppliers are and know the tariffs that you're on, you can compare and change your supplier. For this you have two main options.
You could find a new supplier yourself via a comparison website that shows you tariff rates for your home. Then you can go through their system to switch to a different supplier. They will contact your old supplier and advise them that you are switching. The issue here is that comparison website will only switch you to tariffs that pay them a commission. Therefore, you are probably not being switched to the cheapest tariff!
The other option is to use an energy switching service such as Switchd. Switchd will search through all of the available suppliers for your area, find out who has the best price and automatically switch you to them. Switchd searches suppliers daily to enable the best energy prices for your home. Once a switch is conducted, you will have 14 days to tell Switchd if you want it be reversed – free of charge. At Switchd, we do not only look at tariffs that pay commission – we look at the whole market. This ensures that you are on the cheapest rate available. On average this saves you £116 more per year than comparison websites!
Can I switch if I am renting?
If you are a tenant – you have every right to change your energy supplier. It is worth, however, checking your rental agreement to make sure your landlord doesn't have a preferred supplier. If they do, it doesn`t mean that you can't switch, but you should contact them first. You might have to return to the original supplier when you move out.
If your landlord pays your energy bill and then charges you, you don't have the right to change. It is worth having a chat with your landlord or agency, however, to try to persuade them to change.
If you have a pre-paid meter – you are allowed to change it to a normal meter – but you might need to change it back at the end of your tenancy.
You can switch as often as you like. However, if you are on a fixed term contract you might incur extra charges. However, if you are within 42 days of the tariff ending then these charges won't apply and you are free to switch. Although extra charges are annoying, they can often be less than the saving that you would make by switching. Therefore, even if you are outside of this 42 day window it is worth checking.
If you are on a standard variable tariff you should be able to switch whenever you like, and as often as you like.
What if I have just moved home?
If you have just moved into a new house – you should contact the current supplier and tell them that you've just moved in (and advise the supplier at your old house that you are moving out). Take an accurate meter reading so that there are no errors on your first bill. You can only change your supplier from the day that you move in, so you may have to pay at least one bill from the old supplier.
Most likely. Most people are paying more than they need to for energy, especially if they have been with the same supplier for a long time. It is quick to switch, and remember – when switching it happens seamlessly. You won't be left without energy for even a second! You can switch to the best energy supplier yourself or through services like Switchd which can help you save even more! Click here to find out how much Switchd can save you today.

It's been a busy period for Vox Pop Labs. In the span of three months, we launched five different Vote Compasses, and together they were used by almost two million people.
This past summer saw the launch of the third edition of Vote Compass Quebec, and the launch of the first-ever Vote Compass New Brunswick—all done in collaboration with CBC/Radio-Canada.
We also launched Vote Compass – Youth edition, designed specifically to engage students and teachers in classroom discussions about the Canadian political process. Launched jointly with CIVIX, Vote Compass Student Edition can be used at any time and is not specific to a given election.
While those three Vote Compasses were running simultaneously, we added a fourth one: Sintonia Eleitoral. Launched in collaboration with Brazilian news portal G1 – Globo, Sintonia Eleitoral marked our first foray into Latin America, and engaged over a million users during each round of the Brazilian presidential election.
Finally, to wrap up a busy year, we partnered with the Urban Policy Lab and CBC/Radio-Canada once again to launch the second municipal edition of Vote Compass Toronto. In this new edition, Torontonians were able to get a sense of how their political views aligned with not only the two major mayoral candidates, but also the 120+ candidates who competed for council seats in Toronto's 25 wards. Through the Urban Policy Lab's Council Scorecard initiative, our tool allowed users to match candidate positions in Vote Compass with the actual voting records of incumbent councillors.
You can explore the views of Torontonians on the 30 issues included in the tool and look at variation across Toronto's 25 wards.


I was born in the snowy Austrian Alps in the village of Vocklabruck a long time ago after my parents fled to the former communist bloc country of Czechoslovakia, a country that no longer exists. We immigrated to sunny San Diego during the early 1980s and later we move to Oregon (apparently my father thought it would be nice there). We never made it but rather stopped for the night in picturesque Victorian city of Eureka, a charming place flanked by the Pacific Ocean and coastal redwoods. What started out as a brief stop to get our bearings resulted in staying for the past 18 years. I grew up a curious youth, often getting good grades (though not always) and spending a lot of time riding my fleet of bikes. I went through the K-12 system (Go Loggers!) and went off to UC Davis (Go Aggies!) during the late 1990s and earned a degree in history, my most favorite subject. I completed my teaching credential at the UC Davis School of Education, do my student teaching in Vacaville and Woodland. I then went on to complete my Master's in Education degree in 2005 while substitute teaching in Eureka, CA. In March 2005, I was hired as a Correctional Officer with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department, where I now work.
Hey, thanks for doing the blog on mr myslin. i was a student of his and it means a lot to read that.
