BMCC is an accredited post-secondary institution that forms part of the City University of New York system. Since the Learning Across America program began in 2007, well over 10,000 au pairs have successfully completed their educational component through BMCC courses.
The Learning Local program allows you to attend class locally and then participate in a Cultural Hi-Ways tour to the destination you're studying. In choosing this option, you have the entire tour weekend to explore the destination.
BMCC's Learning Express program allows you to study, explore and earn educational credits during the same long weekend in the city you're studying.
Learning Local students attend 2 or 3 Sunday classes (a few courses may include a Saturday class instead). Classes are spread out over several weeks, with a break before the tour portion of the class.
Learning Local courses take place in New York City as well as Chicago, Connecticut, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
Learning Express courses take place in Chicago, Nashville, New Orleans, New York City, San Francisco and Washington, DC with more cities to come! Learning Express courses offer you the opportunity to travel to an exciting American destination and take classes there. Each day students will learn in the classroom and onsite at local attractions.
BMCC partners with Cultural Hi-Ways to conduct your tour. For details of your travel itinerary please visit the Cultural Hi-Ways website.
If you have a question about an educational course then please email or call (646.204.6865) BMCC. If your question concerns the travel portion of a course then please email or call (800.979.1872) Cultural Hi-Ways.
Every au pair is required to earn 6 educational credits during their year in the United States. For most au pair organizations, 6 credits = 72 hours. Please check with your au pair organization so you know exactly how many hours equal 6 credits.
In the Learning Local program, the courses offered provide either 32 or 40 hours of credit. Since 32 + 40 = 72 hours, this is a convenient way for those who love to travel to earn their educational credits for the year.
In the Learning Express program, most course offers 36 hours of credit. Taking two Learning Express courses equals 72 hours (36 + 36).
The Learning Express program also features All-in-One courses which allow you to earn 72 to 80 credit hours.
To earn credits for Learning Local courses you must attend all classes and the tour as well as complete all assignments.
Once you choose your course on the BMCC website, click "Add to Cart" then select "Check Out." You'll then be asked to sign in to your account (or create a new one). You'll need a credit or debit card to pay for the class.
Tuition for Learning Local courses includes all costs associated with the class as well as the tour to the destination studied. There are no material fees or activity fees!
Tuition for Learning Express courses include a public transportation pass to get around the city with your teacher. Tuition also includes all costs associated with the class. There are no material fees or activity fees! Depending on the destination, your Learning Express course may also include accommodations on the campus of the college or university where classes are held.
Learning Local students who must cancel their course will receive a 100% refund if they notify BMCC before classes start. They're entitled to a 50% refund if they cancel after the first class but before the second. There is no refund thereafter. Please email BMCC if you need to withdraw from class or transfer to a different section.
In order to receive a full refund, Learning Express students must cancel 31 days before the first class date by sending an email to BMCC. After that date you may still be able to receive a refund if you find a suitable replacement.
If you participate in the Learning Local program, you'll receive your certificate at the conclusion of the tour.
Learning Express students will be given a pre-assignment one week before the start of their class. Once the student submits their final project they'll be issued their certificate. Final projects must be submitted no later than the Friday following the last day of class.
Learning Express students who require their certificate on the last day of class should contact BMCC so they can receive the details of their final project in advance.
Once you've successfully completed your final classroom session, BMCC will, upon request, provide you with a letter you can submit to your au pair organization that specifies how many hours of credit you've earned to date.
In order to get your agency or government paperwork completed, email it to BMCC. (Your teacher can't fill out your paperwork.) BMCC will complete forms from your au pair agency to prove you've completed your course as well as Kindergeld forms in English.

Carriera
Vanta due partecipazioni agli europei giovanili del 1999 a Mosca e del 2000 a Dunkerque; in quest'ultima ha vinto anche la medaglia d'argento nei 50 m stile libero. Nel 2001 è stato convocato per i Giochi del Mediterraneo di Tunisi, dove è entrato in finale nei 100 m e soprattutto ha vinto l'oro nella staffetta 4×100 m stile libero con Mauro Gallo, Matteo Pelliciari e Simone Cercato.

Nell'agosto 2002 agli europei in vasca lunga di Berlino è stato finalista nei 50 m ed è arrivato terzo con la staffetta 4×100 m, risultato ottenuto con Lorenzo Vismara, Christian Galenda e Cercato. Sempre in Germania, agli europei in vasca da 25 metri di dicembre a Riesa, vince la sua seconda medaglia europea: argento nella 4×50 m in compagnia di Vismara, Galenda, e Domenico Fioravanti. L'anno dopo la staffetta è arrivata sesta in finale ai campionati mondiali di Barcellona, questa volta con Vismara, Galenda e Filippo Magnini. Ha avuto meno successo agli europei in corta di dicembre a Dublino, dove non è entrato in nessuna finale.

Ha vinto ancora l'oro in staffetta agli europei di Madrid del 2004, anche se ha nuotato solo in batteria, ed è arrivata quindi la convocazione per i Giochi di Atene, dove la 4×100 m di Vismara, Magnini, Scarica e Galenda è arrivata quarta in finale, a pari merito con la Russia. Ha nuotato in batteria anche nella 4×50 m degli europei in vasca da 25 metri di Vienna, ma la squadra è stata squalificata in finale dopo essere arrivata prima. Nel 2005 ha partecipato ancora ai mondiali di Montréal e ai Giochi del mediterraneo di Almería.

Ha dato il suo addio al nuoto (in sordina) nel maggio del 2007.

T-Bird: Ok Jun, I've got some questions from the fans here! First off is from ibbod0; how did you meet Johnny and the rest of Crush 40?
Jun: Wow, good question…actually, I was a huge fan of Hardline. Usually when I compose the songs and write the melody, I think about who would make a suitable singer for the song or a good singer for the melody or something like that. With the song "It Doesn't Matter", the original version for Sonic Adventure, it has a very high note-melody. When I was writing it I thought Tony Harnell would be the ideal singer, and in the end he performed on that song; this in now my way of composing. Talking about "Open Your Heart", I had Johnny in mind, but I did not have any direct contact with him. Actually my friend who lives in Los Angeles knows Doug Aldrich [The guitarist for Whitesnake these days! – T] . For a short time Doug played in one of Johnny's previous bands, Brunette, and I knew they still had a good relationship and that Johnny had appeared on Doug's first solo release [on a track called "Face Down" on the album Alter Ego – T]. That meant maybe Doug could get in contact with Johnny, and so I asked my friend to get in contact with Doug, then Dough got in contact with Johnny…and that's how I first got in touch with him.
T-Bird: Ok, so SoA, Admin for the js.com forums asks, if say you had to replace Johnny, and of course that would be an impossible task, who would you ideally want as your dream replacement?
T-Bird: Yes…if you had to.
Jun: That would mean Crush 40 would be disbanded, seeing as Crush 40 is the teaming of Johnny and myself, in which case you would need to find a replacement for both of us! The lack of me or lack of Johnny would mean…yeah (laughs).
T-Bird: Great answer – I honestly don't think you could replace him either! Thirdly, Sonic1991 asks how did the collaboration with Emma Gelotte, Tinna Karlsdotter and the legend that is Marty Friedman [Legendary because he was the guitarist on my favourite Megadeth album! – T] come around for the track "With Me"?
Jun: I wrote that song for the final boss in the Sonic and the Black Knight, and I so first I tried to find the female singers for that song. One of my friends in a Japanese record company takes care of dealings with All Ends [Tinna & Emma's band – T], and so that's how I got in touch with them. With Marty, although he was now living in Japan, I didn't know him personally. I didn't know his manager or any of the other business guys who dealt with him, so I asked him directly. Originally I planned to ask him to play all of the guitar stuff, but when he came into the studio, he said "hey, we should just keep these backing tracks!" We booked the studio here in Tokyo to record the lyrics and Marty's guitar solo, but then the other guys came into the studio and wanted me to change the key, so I said "please give me one hour!" Since we use Pro-Tools, it was easy enough to raise the track one note, but it did not have very good clarity. We changed the key digitally anyway, then tracked the vocals, then Marty tracked his guitar. I went back later on and tracked all of the backing guitar in the correct key.
Originally my idea was to have that song in a lower key, and in fact we [Crush 40] did the demo in that much lower key, and that was featured on the Sonic and the Black Knight "Face to Faith" album and it is much heavier.
T-Bird: I think a lot of fans liked hearing a heavier version…and thanks for sharing the story! Short question: BlueLightning asks, what was your first guitar?
Jun: He wants to know my first electric guitar? Actually, before I started playing electric guitars, I got an electric bass, since I was into Duran Duran at the time.
Jun: Yeah! Originally I played the keyboard, but the drummers and the keyboard players were always at the back of the stage, and I always wanted to be one of the guys in front of the stage. I'm not good at singing, and I was not interested in singing, so I picked up the bass. However, after watching some MTV videos by the band called Ratt [Rock history lesson right here kids! – T] and Night Ranger, I got really into those bands, and so my very first guitar was a duplicate of the guitar the Ratt guitarist had…and I still have it.
T-Bird: Do you remember what make it was?
Jun: I think it was Fernandes, but these days I've replaced the neck with a performance neck…I will post a picture of it sometime!
T-Bird: Haha! Definitely! So, Sinister Swiss asks after the remixing of the Angel Island Zone track for Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, have you considered going back and reworking any other classic songs from those classic titles?
Jun: Interesting! It was very fun to do the remix for Angel Island, and also I made another arrangement of Sky Sanctuary from Sonic & Knuckles for the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, and if I get a chance I want to try to do more of those kind of remixes.
T-Bird: HAHAHA! YEAH! Death Egg Zone from Sonic & Knuckles! I think that would make a lot of the fans would love that! I know we've covered this in the previous half of the interview, but Michelle Palmer asks if you are considering any tour dates?
Jun: As I was saying, I am going to try and organise some Crush 40 dates around August time. [As a side note kiddos, Jun has a new band Bubbilicious Blvd. And is playing shows in Tokyo! Check out the TSS article on them! – T].
T-Bird: Ok, last question…Hawkz asks, what would you say has been the defining moment of your career?
Jun: Hmmm…I'd have to say there are several. The first one is back in '96, the moment I teamed up with Eric Martin. It was a very special moment for me. From that point I started trying to find direct connection with the artists, and that's the way I've been doing it for years now.
Both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 are very important games for me and very important titles for me, since Sonic Adventure was the very first time I was the sound director for a Sonic title, and I changed the sound of Sonic music drastically. With Sonic Adventure 2, some of us moved to the States, which changed our lives, and this time around we tried to make the music for the American market. It was very fun, and a very special time for not only me, but for the team too.
Finally, with Super Smash Bros: Brawl We provided several pieces of Sonic music to be used in the game, and lots of new fans – by new fans I mean the players who did not have any experience playing Sonic games – listened to the music for the first time while playing the Smash Brothers game…to me that was a great experience.
T-Bird: Lots of fond memories, and I'm sure a lot of fans hold some of those moments close to their heart too! Thanks loads for taking our questions Jun…hopefully we can talk to you again soon with more burning questions!
Jun Senoue's All-new band – Bubblicious Blvd.!!!
Ok, ok, so I'm taking my sweet time to sort out the Senoue interview…I apologise I'm quite busy this week! So, to tide you over until then, here's some nice juicy Senoue-related news, in the form of Jun's brand new band, Bubblicious Blvd. They're a Tokyo based band at the moment, and they've only played one gig back in January, but here's hoping we see more from them!
Jun descrbied them as his "fun" band, and you may actually already know some of the members of the band…in fact the singer is none other than CJ Szuter, the All-Hailer Shadower himself, from the band Magna-fi. If you're lucky enough to be around the Meguro Ward of Tokyo next Sunday, the 21st (it had to be the day after I fly back to the UK, didn't it?), you can head down to the Live Station and watch Jun and Mike at work in the flesh!!!
If you can't, well, then you'll have to make do with the videos on their Myspace for the time being – keep an eye on it for more material in the near future!
If anyone figures out what Bubblicious means…let me know…in the mean time. If you can beat this with something else Bubblicious, let us know!
Shortest competition ever: The Result!
Yeah, I'm not good at the whole mystery game, but there you go. Anyway, earlier (or yesterday in my case) I caught up with legendary Sonic soundtrack composer, director and performer extrodinaire Jun Senoue in Shibuya, Tokyo. Needless to say I had a long chat with Jun about many things…things like the possibility of a second Crush 40 album…things about what he's working on currently…and yes, even Sonic the Hedgehog 4 came up in conversation. So, keep an eye out on both Sonic Stadium and junsenoue.com for the interview on what's going down over the next few days!
As well as the questions I had lined up, I also got Jun to answer what I thought were the seven best fan questions going, and so I asked both TSS and js.com readers to submit! I also said I would hand out a prize to the best question propped, but I had so many, I'm having to give out two prizes – one for a member of each site!
So first off, congratulations to both Michelle Palmer and Hawkz from TSS, who's questions both made it into the final cut of the "Chaos Questions" as I've come to name them (there's seven, see!), but, the my favourite question proposed was from….
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Exclusive Japan-only COSPA Sonic the Hedgehog T-Shirt!
Please send me your name and address (and shirt size!) by either PM on SSMB or at tbird [at] sonicstadium.org. Also many congratulations to Ibbod0, Bluelightning, SoA and Sonic1991 (winner of the Sonic Heroes Triple Threat album!) on the JunSenoue.com forums – your questions have also made the cut too!
Thanks to everyone who sent in questions; there were many good ideas, and I hope in some way or another I will have asked a question you would like to know the answer too! Anyway, stay tuned for the full Jun Senoue Interview!

Personalised Copies of Jun Senoue's "The Works" on Sale!
Jun Senoue is a man who needs little introduction. He's had his hands in the Sonic pie since way back when, working alongside others such as Howard Drossin on the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 soundtrack. Mr Senoue really stepped into the spotlight with the launch of Sonic Adventure back in 1999, when Jun's band Crush 40, fronted by Johnny Gioeli, blew most of the community away with its blistering soundtrack of fast-paced rock and epic power anthems. He's just as awesome in real life too!
Well as most of you know Jun has been busy then, and not just with Sonic stuff. "The Works" is a selection of tracks from other games such as the NASCAR and Daytona USA racing titles, along with music from the only-released-in-Japan titles, Managing Baseball Team Game / Managing J-League Football Team Game. Those of you who are fans of Ted Poley and Eric Martin will be pleased to know they both feature heavily on the album providing more awesome-sauce vocals.
Anyway, for a limited time Jun Senoue will be personally autographing copies of the soundtrack, which can be purchased on the official Jun Senoue fansite for the meagre price of $30 plus a small postage charge (works out at about £22 in total for UK peoples). Not bad eh? It also looks like Jun will be doing a similar thing with the Best of Crush 40 album "Super Sonic Songs" that will be released next month. The full track listings for both of the albums are listed on the website should you wish to examine them before purchase.
If you're feeling a little tight fisted, or you simply haven't got enough pocket money to blow on a copy, then don't fret! There will be a chance to win yourself a copy of the album over the SEGASonic:Radio Project 24 livecast on the 15th of November! Keep your eyes peeled for more info!
Props to Martin aka SOA, webmaster of junsenoue.com, for helping sort out this amazing offer for us lucky, lucky fans!


the intel 810 should be detected pretty easily by your install progs. it will just be a generic svga driver tho.
i just read a few small quips i found about SoundMax, and it looks like you might have problems with it. it's a card that allows the cpu to do much of the work of the sound card... which is cheaper, but requires a driver... often proprietary. the ac97 kernel modules often can handle this, but i wouldn't guarantee it.
are you getting any errors while trying to install them?
Sound Card : SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio.
Graphics Card : Intel 810 Chipset Graphics Driver.
What do I need to do to configure these card without having to re-install Linux once again. What is the setup file for these to. What files do I need to modify?

Oath Keepers militia members accused of conspiracy for roles in U.S. Capitol siege
By Sarah N. Lynch
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Prosecutors on Tuesday accused three people affiliated with a far-right militia group with conspiring to breach the U.S. Capitol, the first time they have directly accused people of organizing the violent uprising that left five people dead.
Thomas Edward Caldwell, 65, of Clarke County, Virginia, whom investigators said has a leadership role in the Oath Keepers group, was named in a criminal complaint as having participated in the Capitol riots. His fellow members Jessica Watkins, 38, of Champaign County, Ohio, and Donovan Ray Crowl, also of Ohio, were also charged.
Caldwell, Watkins and Crowl are accused of conspiring against the United States and conspiring to prevent the government from discharging its duties, among other offenses.
Caldwell, who told a federal judge on Tuesday he is on disability after retiring from the U.S. Navy, said he looks forward to proving at trial that "every single charge is false."
Jon Schaffer, a guitarist for the Indiana heavy metal band Iced Earth who was photographed during the riot wearing an Oath Keepers cap, also stands accused of using bear spray on police officers as the crowd tried to force its way past them, but was not named in the conspiracy.
Investigators said Caldwell used Facebook to communicate with fellow members of the Oath Keepers and helped make hotel arrangements for their stay in the Washington, D.C. area. He later posted photos from the siege, saying: "Us storming the castle. Please share… I am such an instigator!"
Watkins and Crowl appeared in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on Tuesday. Asked by a federal judge if she understood the charges against her, Watkins said: "I understand what you said. I don't understand how I got them."
A federal prosecutor told a judge in Caldwell's case it was "likely" additional charges could be on the table, including rioting and seditious conspiracy.

Congress votes to call on Trump to denounce hate groups
By Alex Dobuzinskis
(Reuters) – The U.S. Congress passed a resolution late on Tuesday calling on President Donald Trump to condemn hate groups after Trump was criticized for his response to the violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, a month ago.
The U.S. House of Representatives unanimously adopted the resolution, U.S. Representative Gerry Connolly, a Democrat from Virginia, said in a statement. The Senate approved the measure on Monday.
"Tonight, the House of Representatives spoke in one unified voice to unequivocally condemn the shameful and hate-filled acts of violence carried out by the KKK (Ku Klux Klan), white nationalists, white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville," Connolly said.
The joint resolution, passed with the support of both Republicans and Democrats, will go to Trump for his signature.
Representatives for the White House did not respond immediately to an email seeking comment.
The Congressional resolution calls on Trump to condemn hate groups and what it describes as the growing prevalence of extremists who support anti-Semitism, xenophobia and white supremacy.
It also urges Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate acts of violence and intimidation by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and similar groups.
Trump alienated fellow Republicans, corporate leaders and U.S. allies and rattled markets last month with comments about the violence in Charlottesville, where white nationalists and neo-Nazis clashed with anti-racism activists on Aug. 12.
One woman, Heather Heyer, was killed and several people were wounded when a suspected white nationalist crashed his car into anti-racist demonstrators.
The Congressional resolution calls Heyer's death a "domestic terrorist attack." James Alex Fields, a 20-year-old Ohio man who authorities say drove into Heyer and other protesters, has been charged with second-degree murder and other criminal counts.
On Aug. 12, Trump denounced hatred and violence "on many sides," a comment that drew sharp criticism from across the political spectrum for not condemning white nationalists.
White nationalists had gathered in Charlottesville to protest against the planned removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee, who led the pro-slavery Confederacy's army during the U.S. Civil War. Trump defended Confederate monuments last month.
At a rally in Phoenix on Aug. 22, Trump accused television networks of ignoring his calls for unity in the aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville.
"I didn't say I love you because you're black, or I love you because you're white," Trump said at the rally. "I love all the people of our country."
The resolution also acknowledged the deaths of two Virginia State Police officers whose helicopter crashed as they patrolled the Charlottesville protest.

Not So Fast: Maryland House Overrides Governor's Veto On Clean Energy Jobs Act
Betsy Lillian
The Maryland House has overridden Gov. Larry Hogan's veto of the Clean Energy Jobs Act of 2016, legislation that would boost the state's renewable portfolio standard (RPS) from 20% by 2022 to 25% by 2020.
In total, 88 members of the House of Delegates voted for the override, and 51 voted against it. The Senate is expected to take up the override vote in the coming days, according to the Maryland Climate Coalition.
The Maryland Climate Coalition estimates that the act, introduced as S.B.921 and H.B.1106, would create incentives for roughly 1.3 GW of new clean energy in Maryland and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by over 2.7 million metric tons per year. The legislation also includes raising the solar carve-out to 2.5% by 2020 (from 2% by 2022).
"Unlike President Trump's skepticism about climate change, the Senate voted for the Clean Energy Jobs Act because it is sound economic and environmental policy," says Sen. Brian Feldman, lead sponsor of the Senate version of bill. "Not only will this legislation create thousands of good-paying green jobs, it will put the state on the road to meeting our renewable energy goals – a vision shared by both Democrats and Republicans across Maryland."
In his veto message issued last May, the governor said, "This legislation is a tax increase that will be levied upon every single electricity ratepayer in Maryland, and for that reason alone, I cannot allow it to become law." Specifically, he said the bill would have led to a rise in taxes of between $49 million and $196 million by 2020.
"With the House override, Maryland's legislature has voted for progress," states Delegate Bill Frick, top sponsor of the House bill, who adds that the legislature is "rejecting the disingenuous and inaccurate posturing of Hogan's politically motivated veto message."
David Smedick, the Sierra Club's Maryland Chapter representative, says the group expects the Senate to "act quickly to put this smart renewable energy policy into place once and for all."
"Today, the Maryland House of Delegates showed its commitment to fighting climate change and growing Maryland's clean energy economy," he says. "The carbon pollution reduced by this bill is equivalent to removing 500,000 cars from the road. With the Trump administration moving to silence even a mention of climate change, states like Maryland will need to lead this fight."
Earlier this month, the American Wind Energy Association said Maryland would risk losing jobs and investment in renewable energy sources if the governor's veto stood. Wind power already supports close to 500 jobs in Maryland and has attracted $380 million in private investment to date, the group said.

Q: Perl: convert string to a C string literal How can I use Perl to convert an arbitrary string to a valid, human readable
C string literal (i.e. something that can be put into C source and understood by the C compiler)?
Bonus points for solution requiring only core modules.
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $str = get_some_string();    # Read string from file, database, network etc
my $cstr = ???($str);
print "const char *str = $cstr;" # This has to form valid C statement

Example output:
const char *str = "Hello, \"C\" string\n";

A: #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $str = q/Hello, "C" string/ . "\n";
$str =~ s/(\W)/sprintf('\\%03o',ord($1))/ge;
print "const char *str = \"$str\";"

The RegEx matches every char except a-z A-Z 0-9 _ and converts it to a octal value. You could easily replace (\W) by any more specific match like ([^a-zA-Z0-9,\.\-]) (match everything except a-z A-Z 0-9 , . -) or ([\x00-\x1f]) (match every ASCII code less than 30 = space).
A shorter solution would be:
$str =~ s/(["'`])/\\$1/g;

But that one would only escape quotation marks with a \ prefix. All other chars which might cause trouble get through without replacement.

A: It seems that Perl provides B::cstring function for this exact purpose:

cstring(STR)
Returns a double-quote-surrounded escaped version of STR which can be
  used as a string in C source code.

print B::cstring(q/hi "C" string/)
# prints "hi \"C\" string"

A: That will work fine as it is
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    printf("\110\145\154\154\157\054\040\167\157\162\154\144\012");
}

Hello, world

Economics is about choice and the impact of our choices on each other. The subject is split into two main sections: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Macro looks at the big issues affecting the economy as a whole (unemployment, inflation, growth) micro looks at a smaller scale such as the pricing of individual products like oil or gold. Taken together, micro and macroeconomics give a complete understanding of the economy that will be valuable in career terms as well as bringing an increased understanding of the last five minutes of the news!
• Theme 1: Introduction to Markets and Market Failure This theme introduces students to the microeconomic nature of economics, looking at economic problems and the ways economists think and work.
• Theme 2: The UK Economy – Performance and Policies This theme introduces students to macroeconomics by exploring the key measures of economic performance and the main instruments of economic policy primarily in a UK context.
• Theme 3: Business Behaviour and the Labour Market This theme develops the microeconomic concepts introduced in Theme 1 and focuses on business economics.
• Theme 4: A Global Perspective This theme develops the macroeconomic concepts introduced in Theme 2 and applies these concepts in a global context. Both the AS and A Level are assessed through 100% examination.
During the two year course visits will be arranged so theory can be seen in context. Guest speakers are invited in to share their economics expertise and viewpoints. Booster revision lessons are also provided leading up to the examinations. Students can also take part in the Young Enterprise Scheme in the Lower Sixth where they create a business for themselves and compete against local schools to get to the National Final in London. Previous teams have been extremely successful by channeling their entrepreneurial spirit into innovative ideas. The students have been able to share out the profits amongst themselves at the end of the competition in addition to obtaining some fantastic skills to write in their University applications.
There is a dedicated Economics room which overlooks the stunning countryside and has the use of an interactive whiteboard. The department utilises ICT during lessons by using Qwizdom. This is software that is used in conjunction with handheld remotes to help assess students learning throughout lessons. Specialist text books are issued and are used in conjunction with a wide-range of additional text books, ICT and audio-visual materials.


Describe your font styles and define which text color can be combined with which background color.
To create consistent Typo Styles, it's important that you first add your colors and fonts to the Style Guide. Once you've done this, you can start using a Typo Style by adding the appropriate Smart Block.
The structure of the Smart Block allows you to define the font on the left-hand side with attributes such as type of font, font size, and so on.
In the middle of the text you can see a sample text according to the definition you made on the left.
On the right side you can define the allowed text and background color combinations. We will explain this topic in detail further down.
Based on the colors defined in the Style Guide, you can define which text color may be combined with which background color in the Typo Styles.
To prepare, it makes sense to create a matrix with the color definitions. This makes working with the Color Pickers much easier.
First of all, select all the text colors based on your matrix. After you've selected all the allowed colors for your text – click "white space" to close the color picker.
Next step is to select one of the text colors, which also defines the background colors. Let's take red.
By selecting red, you see that the text color in the box changes. Now click on the edit icon. In the black window, you can read that you are now configuring the background colors for the red text color.
Now choose the two colors defined within your matrix and close the window by clicking into a white space.
Do the same with the other text colors. First, select the text color and then click on the edit icon to select the allowed background colors.
If you click on the next text color you will see that no background colors are allowed at the moment. These colors are marked, accordingly, as forbidden.
What might be a bit confusing is that when you click on the edit icon, the background colors defined in the first text color are marked with a check mark.
You have to ignore them now. If you need them for this second text color, just click on them twice, making the forbidden-mark disappears.
In this example, white is already combined with another text color. You can see that there's a double click for adding white to another text color.
As a viewer you can now quickly see which colors are allowed, by choosing a text or background color. The check mark shows which colors are currently active and displayed in the sample text.
As an example, you can see here that the red text color is allowed to combined with "Green Vogue", and "White". Active color for text is "Red", for the background it's "Green Vogue".
This example shows you an active text color, "White" with "Turquoise", and "Steel Blue" and "Black", as allowed background colors. The white text with the turquoise background is active.


If you have credit problems or simply want to improve your credit history so you can be more appealing to lenders for a major purchase, you need to take action immediately. There are several avenues you can take to improve your credit, such as taking out an installment loan. If you are considering an installment loan (click here for more information), here is what you need to know.
Why Should You Get an Installment Loan?
In addition to helping you improve your credit rating, an installment loan is one of the fastest ways to get the funds you need. The approval process for an installment loan can be as little as a few days. In some instances, it is even faster.
Installment loans are also considered long-term options, which means that the payments are more spread out and affordable. As a result, you are less likely to miss a payment or be late, which helps to paint you as a good candidate for lenders.
Installment loans are often less expensive to take out than a revolving credit line. Revolving credit lines, such as a credit card, have interest rates that are higher and the balances can dramatically increase from month to month if you miss a payment or fail to pay the balance owed in full.
Even if you have bad credit, it is possible to still be approved for an installment loan. You might have to shop around for a lender that is willing to take into account other factors, such as your monthly income and your length of employment, but it is possible.
One way you can increase the likelihood that you qualify for an installment loan is to look for a lender who is willing to accept collateral in exchange for approval. For instance, your home's equity or your car could be the collateral needed.
You should also consider shopping for an installment loan with a local lender. Although you will still have to meet certain requirements to be approved for the loan, local lenders tend to allow more wiggle room than national lenders.
If you have a family member or friend who is willing to cosign on your loan, you can improve your chances of getting an approval. It is important to remember that if you do not make the payments, your cosigner could be left to make them.
To determine if you are eligible for an installment loan, contact a lender. You can also learn what further steps you will need to take to qualify.


We have had unbelievably mild temperatures compared to the past few years and this has made it a great summer to be on the water doing your favorite thing. The top-water bite for speckled trout continues to be good. There is just something about hearing that top-water get thrashed on by a hungry gamefish that just gets me pumped up and I love it! When the wind dies down is when that top-water bite really turns on. Walking the dog quickly back to the boat without hesitations seems to be the best retrieve. Having the patience to set the hook only when you feel the fish pull on your rod is the key to successful hook ups or missed fish.
That is a really nice speckled trout young man!!
The croaker bite has continued to be the best bite. Especially in less than perfect weather/water conditions. But this constant change in wind/weather patterns has caused fishing to be good one day and bad the next without any real consistent pattern taking hold. I am ready for shrimp season again which typically happens about September 1st but everything is a few weeks behind right now so it could be mid September before that live shrimp bite is back again in full force.
I will catch it just wont touch it!!
The tourist season is almost over with the return of the kids back to school. I have had a ton of families with young ones these past 2 months and it has been great watching our future anglers having a blast. It is very important to try and teach or expose all kids to outdoor activities like fishing and hunting and how to respect the outdoors and our outdoor resources. Teaching them conservation early in life gives them the education to be responsible anglers in the future.
Redfish have been kind of absent lately. Every few days or so a big school will come thru and slam our lines with hard pulling bronze backs while we are trout fishing and it is typically a chinese firedrill once you get a few bruiser reds running around breaking off lines and looking for props to rub on. But this is what makes it so much fun!! Soon the oversized redfish will begin their annual spawn and start infiltrating our bay system heavily. The schools will break up and the redfish will seem to be all over the bays in October.
Everybody seems to be spaced out well along the ship channel, East bay and Trinity bay. East bay has been a ghost town this past week or 2 with this Southwest wind blowing. I am seeing only a few boats at most even on the weekends. Water clarity has been poor in the mornings and clearing about noon. The fish continue to be all over the marked reefs and they definitely prefer croakers over live shrimp. When the wind is down artificials like plastics or topwaters are working just fine. Colors do not seem to matter much once you find a good feeding school but I have been throwing typically light colors on 1/4 oz jigheads.
The Houston ship channel is still holding a lot of fish and will continue to do so for a few more weeks. They have been moving around quite often by being in a spot one day and not around the next day. So moving around is key. Slicks are a major factor in finding good schools along the spoils. Typically I am looking for several sets of slicks but 1 small freshly popped up slick will do just fine. Watch out for the dreaded gafftop. They are all over the channel in good numbers and will eat a croaker very quickly and aggressively.
Your younger brother still thinks his is bigger!
Fall is coming soon and with it brings some of the best fishing of the year. As the days grow shorter the bite inevitably gets better and better. And we also have a lot less anglers on the water. Less anglers, cooler weather, hungrier fish!!! It is all just around the corner just a few months away!

Cost. Hydrostatic drives can cost almost $5,000 per wheel. That's nearly $20,000 more for 30 percent less power-to-the-ground performance.
Balance. The extra weight of the hydrostatic transmission and wheel motors requires even weight distribution or lost traction. Hilly, sloping fields or wet soil conditions can result in unbalanced hydrostats that bury themselves.
Maintenance. Hydrostats require more (and more complicated) parts, making it more difficult to maintain and service.
Weight. Apache sprayers with mechanical drive are 16-40% lighter than hydrostatic sprayers of comparable tank size, in addition to less weight than a tractor with a pull-type sprayer behind it. That means significantly better fuel efficiency and less compaction.
Traction. With 70 percent of the weight on the rear drive axle, lock-up torque converter and limited slip differential, both rear wheels stay in contact with the ground and turn regardless of eld conditions.

Power-sharing must be restored

The re-establishment of a power-sharing Executive and a functioning Assembly in Northern Ireland are needed to ensure political stability. Both communities are looking to their elected representatives to defend their economic and social interests during the coming Brexit negotiations and, more importantly, to protect a peace process that has transformed quality of life. Party leaders will have to swallow hard and make difficult compromises.
Having come through an election campaign that concentrated on Northern Ireland's constitutional position and served to eliminate Ulster Unionist and SDLP representation at Westminster, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) unexpectedly found itself holding the balance of power. It is now capable of influencing Brexit negotiations in favour of its constituents and providing a counter-balance to those within the Conservative Party who oppose common travel arrangements and would opt out of the single market. In these circumstances – and despite deep-seated differences – Sinn Féin has compelling reasons to cooperate with the DUP and defend Irish economic interests on both sides of the Border.

North talks at 'very key' stage as Brokenshire extends deadline
The DUP and Sinn Féin strengthened their positions by concentrating on what divides, rather than unites, the electorate in Northern Ireland. Now that the contest is over, tribal politics offers no way forward. The parties should move to consolidate their gains and display a willingness to submerge differences in the interests of the entire community. Arlene Foster and Gerry Adams have, with differing emphasis, recognised the importance of having a functioning Assembly and a vigorous Executive. They now have an opportunity to do something about it and protect the broader economic interests of Northern Ireland.
When talks between the parties opened in Belfast yesterday there were indications Sinn Féin was prepared to review its position on the appointment of Foster as First Minister. Pending agreement on other issues, Adams said that Sinn Féin's veto might be lifted. That would be consistent with his regularly expressed opinion on the centrality of an electoral mandate.
A functioning Assembly would give Sinn Féin a platform from which to campaign against Brexit in Northern Ireland, while persisting with its outdated abstentionist policy at Westminster. Declaring any deal between the Conservatives and the DUP would "not be good" for the people of Northern Ireland, Adams has already objected to the proposed confidence-and-supply arrangement. The post-Brexit effects of such a deal may not be positive, but they are likely to be less bad than was anticipated some weeks ago. The DUP and Sinn Féin are opposed to the introduction of a hard Border and, in broad terms, support the Belfast Agreement. Foster and Adams should concentrate on these objectives.

Committee Recommends Smaller Wolf Hunt for 2014
Derek Bakken
State officials still want to shrink Wisconsin's wolf population, but at a much slower rate.
The state's Wolf Advisory Committee has recommended a harvest of 156 wolves this fall – more than a hundred fewer than last year.
DNR Carnivore Specialist Dave MacFarland says that's because the population is shrinking. Recent state counts put the wolf population at about 660, down from 809 the previous winter.
"A stable quota on a smaller population would represent a much higher rate and would result in accelerating population decline."
The DNR management goal for wolves is 350. But MacFarland says officials don't expect to get there all at once, because small populations are delicate. That's why they want to reduce not just the number of wolves, but the rate of population decline...from more than 18 percent last year to about half that.
"We just don't know exactly with any population – you know it's a natural system, we just don't have complete control so we think that caution is warranted as we approach the goals identified in the management plan."
The committee's recommendation heads to DNR leadership, who will send a final recommendation to the Natural Resources Board. There will be a public comment period once that happens…and the board will take up the issue in June.
Last year the committee recommended a harvest quota of 275; the number of licenses was reduced slightly to 251 in response to declarations made by the Chippewa tribes.

Community digest: Practical science experiments are being recorded in high definition for Commons, news in brief
9 November 2016 by Samir Elsharbaty
Video by Andrejdam, CC BY-SA 4.0.
Oliver Zajkov is a physics professor at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, Macedonia. The video above, shot by the Shared Knowledge Wikimedians group in Macedonia, features him doing the low-pressure glow discharge. This is one of 45 physics and chemistry experiments recorded by Shared Knowledge to be published on Wikimedia Commons and used on Wikipedia and elsewhere.
Shared Knowledge has been filiming high-quality videos featuring simple physics and chemistry experiments in a new project called WikiExperiments. The project aims to provide high-quality short films visualizing the theoretical ideas students study at school and read about on Wikipedia.
The educational videos will be helpful for students and "anyone interested in understanding some general concepts in physics and chemistry," according to Toni Ristovski, Board Member and Treasurer of Shared Knowledge.
Shared Knowledge is a group of Wikimedians from Macedonia who started in March 2014 with the goal of holding initiatives and projects to support the Wikimedia movement. However, the WikiExperiments videos, which they started in December 2015, were made without narration and with descriptions in both English and Macedonian to ease global use.
The project began with an idea by the group member and physicist Tsvetko Nedelkovski in early 2015. Shared Knowledge loved the idea and contacted Skopje University to collaborate on making the videos. "Following the success with recording physics experiments," Ristovski says, the group wanted to expand the project and make videos for other chemistry experiments. A group of students took the lead in connecting Shared Knowledge with Vladimir Petruševski, who went on to perform the chemistry experiments.
"Recording [these] videos of science experiments documents laws of physics and chemical reactions," Ristovski explains. "Many schools only teach theory without practical demonstrations, [which is] a crucial part of the learning process."
Polish and Czech Wikipedians join forces for a WikiExpedition: Photographs of over 100 towns and villages were taken by Polish and Czech Wikipedians during the joint WikiExpedition held by Wikimedia Polska and Wikimedia Ceska Republika. The expedition was held between October 21 and 30 in the Silesian region, near the Polish–Czech border, with a goal of taking 1500 photos of the area for Wikimedia Commons. While Wikipedia is rich with articles about the villages, towns, parks and museums in the region, both in the Polish and Czech Wikipedia, many of them still lack photos.
The tenth round of the WikiCup is over and the winners have been announced. The WikiCup is a ten-month editing competition on the English Wikipedia that aims at promoting Wikipedia's quality content in a fun editing atmosphere. The competition has been held on Wikipedia since 2007.
Medical Wikipedia is now in the Odia language: The offline app that gives access to medical content on Wikipedia is now available in the Odia language. Odia is spoken by 40 million people in India. It is the first Indic language to be adopted on the app.
#1lib1ref 2017 is kicking off soon; a call for volunteers: For Wikipedia's 16th birthday next January, a new round of #1lib1ref will start, a campaign that challenges librarians to add one reference to an article on Wikipedia. Volunteers for local coordination of the campaign are now being accepted.
Smartwatch tool to notify users when the subject of an unphotographed Wikipedia article is nearby: Wikipedian Sage Ross, known as ragesoss in the Wikipedia community, designs a new watchface for the Pebble smartwatch. The tool alerts you when you are close to the subject of a Wikipedia article that has no photo so that you can take the needed photo to illustrate the article.
Submissions for WikiArabia 2017 are now open: WikiArabia, the annual conference of the Arabic Wikipedia, will be held in March 2017 in Egypt. Submissions for presentations, talks, discussion panels and workshops are now being accepted until November 15.

Symposium in Honor of Professor Arthur von Mehren
Post date: September 24, 2002 — 4:30 p.m.
On Friday, September 27, Harvard Law School will host a symposium exploring law and justice in a multistate world. The event will be held in honor of Emeritus Professor of Law Arthur Taylor von Mehren's 80th birthday. The symposium will feature discussions on each of Professor von Mehren's four areas of expertise: comparative law, choice of laws, international jurisdiction and recognition of judgments, and international arbitration.
"Friday's Symposium, will feature academic presentations and tributes from distinguished colleagues from all over the world. They will be here because of their respect, admiration and affection for one man, Arthur von Mehren," said Harvard Law School Visiting Professor Peter L. Murray. "We hope that this occasion will serve in some measure as a fitting recognition for Professor von Mehren and his lifetime of accomplishment as a scholar of comparative and international law and a tireless worker for international dialogue and understanding."
The first discussion, to be moderated by Professor James Nafziger of the Willamette Law School, will focus on international jurisdiction and recognition of judgments. Speakers will include Professor Fausto Pocar or the University of Milan and Professor Trevor Hartley of the London School of Economics.
This panel will be followed by a discussion on the choice of laws. Moderated by Dean Symeon Symeonides of the Willamette Law School, the panel will feature Professor Frank Vischer of the University of Basel and Profesor Richard Fentiman of Queens College, Cambridge.
The third panel will focus on comparative civil law and will be moderated by Columbia Law School Professor George Berman. Panelists will include Professor Denis Tallon of the University of Paris and Judge Konrad Lenaerts of the Court of First Instance of the European Community.
A speech on international arbitration by Alan Philip will be followed by a panel discussion on convergence in civil justice and dispute resolution moderated by Murray.
Born on August 10, 1922 in New York City, von Mehren graduated from Harvard College in 1942 and from Harvard Law School in 1945. In 1946 he was awarded his doctorate in government and was appointed assistant professor at Harvard Law School. Professor von Mehren spent the first three years of his more than 50-year career at Harvard Law School in full-time study of Swiss, German and French law at the Universities of Zurich and Paris. In 1953 he was named a full professor of law at Harvard and in 1976 assumed the Story Professorship. Since 1991 he has been the Story Professor of Law Emeritus.
The von Mehren symposium is jointly sponsored by Harvard Law School and the Story Fund.

Roy's Cafe: the rise, fall, and resurgence of a Route 66 icon
by Austin Coop May 8, 2015
The little Route 66 town of Amboy, California and its legendary Roy's Cafe and Motel have seen it all over the past century, and somehow, the almost-abandoned town still keeps hanging in there…
I was driving west on Route 66 back in August of 2014 with the windows down and radio up, just as anyone should as they cross the desert on the Mother Road, when I started to notice myself getting thirsty. Hell, pretty soon I was downright parched, and the view out the windshield didn't help much… Desert as far as I could see. I was daydreaming about the America song, "Horse with No Name" when I almost drove right past a place I'd been looking forward to visiting for the past hundred miles: Roy's Cafe.
You may recognize it from the numerous movies, commercials, and photo shoots that have featured the Route 66 landmark. Why its so often photographed isn't hard to figure out… All that blue sky and desert with a giant vintage neon sign plopped down in the middle of it all. Just stopping at Roy's makes you feel like you're at a movie shoot.
While the motel is still in a state of renovation, the little "cafe" and gas station was open for me to run in and buy every water I could get my hands on. Once inside, you can sit at the old cafe counter and browse through binders and binders of news clippings, photo shoots, and other keepsakes featuring the storied cafe.
And just what is the story of Amboy, CA and Roy's Cafe? So glad you asked…
Way back in 1938 a man named Roy Crowl opened the appropriately named "Roy's" gas and service station along the newly realigned Route 66 through the little town of Amboy. As travelers steadily kept the gas station busy, Crowl decided to team up with his son-in-law, Buster Burris, to take the gas station and expand it to also feature a cafe and motel. While expanding Roy's, Burris was also developing much of what we call the town of Amboy today. (Unfortunately, the fact one man jerry-rigged an entire town's infrastructure has made it very difficult for current restoration attempts.)
When WWII ended, road tripping boomed as did Roy and Buster's Amboy empire. Roy's was now so busy the cafe and garage were kept open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The whole joint employed 10% of the entire town's population. (70 people)
Roy's also established itself as a landmark during this time when they installed the now-world-famous neon sign and built the Mid-Century Modern inclined roof motel office.
Then it all fell apart.
I-40 proved to be the kiss of death for Amboy, and by the 1990s only Roy's, a post office, a small airfield, and a chloride operation remained open. People had simply stopped coming through town.
In 1995 a NY photographer named Timothy White leased the town from Burris and put his buddy, Walt Wilson, in charge of running the cafe. White eventually bought the property outright for $710,000 from Burris just months before his death.
White knew the property had potential as a filming location, so he kept the place in a state of intentional dilapidation to make it most appealing for directors. Meanwhile, they developed quite the bad reputation for price gouging what few travelers did pass through. When it was all said and done, White defaulted on the property in 2005 and it, once again, reverted to the Burris family.
The family struggled to find a buyer for the almost-ghost town of Amboy, but then a white knight emerged. Albert Okura, owner of the Juan Pollo restaurant chain, stepped in and purchased the town for $425,000 and promised to bring Roy's back to its former glory. Okura's word carried a lot of weight for historic preservation folks, since he'd already bought the original McDonald's in San Bernardino and turned it into a museum.
In 2008, Okura was able to reopen the cafe (although it just sells pre-packaged items like candy, sodas, gifts, etc.) Okura and other supporters hope to eventually reopen the motel and make the cafe full-service once again. It's been a long journey, but Roy's is on track to be a jewel in the desert once again.

Grant Burris
Hi, I'm Grant Burris. My son, Jason, and I had the privilege of sitting there in the cafe with Buster Burris several years ago as we all tried to piece together our heritage in an attempt to see if we were related to Buster's strain of Burris's. It was a wonderful couple of hours the three of us spent together. I wish it could have been a couple of days. The significance of the moment was not lost on me but the time spent means even more to me now. During our conversation regarding our heritage, Buster kept referring to a giant ancestral diagram that his mother had drawn based on her research over the years. Buster said it was large and beautiful and indicated it was about 3 ft. by 4 ft. and in color. He was certain that if he had access to that drawing he could determine how closely my strain of Burris was related to his. We were both excited by the possibility. Unfortunately, Buster said he had loaned the one original copy of the diagram to a traveler, "a man from Newport Beach" who promised to return it after he had copied it. Buster said the man had left a business card so that he and Buster could remain in contact. Well, the continued contact never materialized. And, the drawing was never returned to Buster. Years passed before my arrival. During our conversation, Buster was adamant that he was going to find that missing business card and allow me to look up the gentleman in Newport Beach who borrowed the drawing. I live in Costa Mesa, CA, an adjacent city to Newport Beach. Buster dug through his collection of business card that he had accumulated over the years and what a collection it was. Enormous to say the least. They were all stored in multiple shoe boxes packed to the brim by Buster. I noticed at least 6, maybe 8 shoe boxes filled to the breaking point. There could have been more but these were the ones he saw fit to have us search. The cards represented all the people who had met Buster as they traveled along Route 66. Buster knew what the front of the card looked like but not the name that was on it. The three of us searched through all those cards and many of them brought back memories to Buster and he would pause momentarily then elaborate briefly on the person as he remembered their meeting. However, the card of the man from Newport Beach was not be found that day. At the end of our visit we shook hands and said our good byes. We were to never meet again but I never forgot Buster and the enormous chunk of history he carried with him.
If the person who borrowed the ancestral chart from Buster reads this, please contact me so that I can make a copy of the chart. I will do the leg work necessary and pay all expenses. You are welcome to keep the original. The chart is too valuable to be left folded in a drawer somewhere. Allow me to make a copy. A Google search of my name in Costa Mesa will locate me easily.
Jon Arnold
I enjoyed reading about Roy's Cafe. Back in the early 1980's some friends and I rode enduro dirt motorcycles on a several day trip through the area on dirt trails. We stopped the second night at Roy's for gas. We arrived at about 4:00 PM and the grill had already been turned off for the day. We enjoyed some sandwiches in the Cafe and stayed the night using 4 of the old cabins. Early the next morning we ate a nice breakfast of freshly laid eggs and bacon with coffee. We needed it as we'd be eating on the trail until we arrived at Baker. Buster was still the owner and visited with us briefly over breakfast. We still drive by it on our way to Las Vegas using the back way from Orange County to avoid the I-15 freeway.

Great to hear some cool stories from others who have stopped by Roy's! We haven't been back in a couple years, but I'm hoping that'll change this summer. Keep taking the back roads!

#1. If your agent is unable to solve your problem, get the name and phone number of your insurance companies Claims Department. It's usually an 800 number. Call and ask if they have a Consumer Complaint Department? Most do. If so, talk to them because they may be able to help you.
Don't hang up until you get the specific name of the person with whom you spoke. (Make a note of the person you talked with and hold onto it until you've finished with your dispute).
#2. Be ready to support your case by sending a covering letter (to that individual whom you spoke with) which contains all the documents you have to back up your position.
#3. All insurance companies have either an "Appraisal Service" or "Arbitration Service" to help settle differences and/or disputes. Your policy should explain these options.(If you can't find either of these ask your agent to find them for you)!
#4. If you've followed their rules for resolving your dispute, and you're still not satisfied, your own state's insurance department should be able to help you.
#5. If, after hearing from your own insurance company's people (you're confident you've not been handled properly) you should call 1 800 942-4242 ( a toll-free Consumer Information Service) sponsored by the insurance industry.
Trained personnel are available to assist consumers who have complaints. THIS "HELP LINE" OPERATES ON EASTERN TIME, MONDAY THRU FRIDAY, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM.
#6. ALSO: An "Independent Arbitrator", who allegedly has experience in insurance problems, can decide if what you've been told (or offered to settle your claim) is fair. You can get to them by calling THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION 1 212 484-4000.
#7. MEDIATION: More often than not the Mediator does not have the authority to make a binding decision or issue an award to either party. The mediator only recommends a solution.
Mediation is a solid first step because it can negate the need for further expense on both sides. The first thing you should do is check the language in your auto insurance policy where it will spell out who will mediate (and/or arbitrate) a claim. You should submit a DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION FORM to whoever is listed in your policy. On that Demand for Arbitration Form you can specify whether you want "MEDIATION" or "ARBITRATION".
DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION FORMS are available from your state's Department of Insurance, or you can print a copy of a Demand Form from the American Arbitration Association's web site.
A. Mediation is much less expensive than Arbitration.
B. The Mediation Decisions are only considered to be advisory.
HOWEVER: Arbitration Rulings are absolutely binding!
