In one respect, Richard Peck seems an unlikely choice as lead lawyer for Meng Wanzhou, an executive at the world's biggest telecommunications company who faces extradition to the United States on fraud charges that could land her in jail for years.
He does not use a cellphone.
If that makes the 71-year-old seem out of step with his client, let alone the times, it also fits with the description from his admirers – who include some of Canada's leading legal lights – as an old-fashioned English-style barrister, with a watch dangling from his vest pocket. Dignified, highly literate, choosing his words carefully, able to control a room. A presence.
His refusal to use a cellphone reflects deep personal convictions about privacy: that autonomy can't exist without it, and that liberty can't exist without autonomy. He has maintained his own autonomy, choosing not to adopt the decades-old technology even while representing the daughter of the founder of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., the second-largest smartphone maker in the world.
"As I saw people using them more and more, and the way they use them – they get lax with them, usage brings a laxity, so you use them in taxi cabs, in elevators, you stand on street corners chatting away, and I've seen lawyers do this and I think, 'This is just wrong, you can't be doing this,'" he told The Globe and Mail in an interview a year ago. (He and the other three main members of Ms. Meng's Canadian legal team have declined to give interviews since then.)
"I just always had a concern about the potential for lack of privacy, some notion that what you say on a cell phone is not necessarily protected. I'd seen too many people before the courts being convicted on intercepted communications."
Mr. Peck, widely seen as the dean of British Columbia's criminal-defence bar, heads a low-key team of lawyers (three based in Vancouver) who are better known for working well with others than for big personalities.
David Martin is a go-to lawyer for white-collar crime, well known in legal circles in the U.S. as a quarterback of teams in crossborder cases, and viewed as a creative legal thinker with street smarts.
Eric Gottardi, a partner in Mr. Peck's law firm, Peck and Company Barristers, advocated for Barrett Jordan in the 2016 case in which the Supreme Court of Canada established new time limits for criminal proceedings.
Scott Fenton, the only member based outside Vancouver – in Toronto – knows the system from the other side, as a former federal prosecutor. All four are experienced in extradition cases.
What sets Mr. Peck above other criminal lawyers? In part, his wide experience in "some of the most complex and challenging criminal cases of our times," Vancouver lawyers William Smart and Jeff Campbell wrote five years ago in a legal publication, The Advocate. In part, his decades of contribution to the legal community, overseeing a national education program for criminal-defence lawyers and publishing scores of articles. And in part, his judgment, courtesy and ethics.
"Clients may not seek out someone because of their high principles ethically, but it means he has garnered tremendous respect in the judiciary for the submissions he makes," Toronto lawyer Mark Sandler said.
"He will never resort to personal attacks and will not embarrass his opponents." said lawyer Frank Addario, also of Toronto. "He engages in a very factual, reasoned, articulate approach. It's low-key but very effective."
Still, in spite of his courteousness, he has not been one to shy from a fight.
As a young athlete, he competed in the toughest contact sports – amateur boxing (heavyweight division), rugby and football. Later, he ran marathons.
"Law can be a competitive business – trial work – and he's a competitive guy," Mr. Smart said in an interview. "It's not easy to finish a marathon."
As a criminal-defence lawyer, he gravitated toward tough cases and unpopular clients. One of these was Ajaib Singh Bagri, accused of mass murder in Canada's biggest terrorism case, the 1985 Air India bombing (he was acquitted in 2005). Another was the country's most notorious child pornographer, Robin Sharpe, whom he represented at the Supreme Court of Canada in 2001, arguing that he should not be punished for stories he wrote and kept at home. (The court agreed.)
Brought in as a special prosecutor when former Ontario attorney-general Michael Bryant had a deadly encounter with a cyclist, he made a decision in 2010, unpopular among some members of the public, to drop all charges.
He is also known for having a large personal library and a collection of first editions, and spends his evenings reading.
"I read just about everything," said Mr. Peck, who studied law at the University of British Columbia. "I love poetry, I love biography, I like good fiction, I like some of the mystery writers that are coming out of Western Europe, I like the classics. My passion is reading, outside the law, and inside the law, of course."
Mr. Addario said the last time he saw Mr. Peck, the B.C. lawyer gave him a book of his favourite seasonal poems that he had personally assembled. He also said Mr. Peck's love of literature spills over into the courtroom: "He is famous in his oral advocacy for pithy quotes, historical references and salient analogies."
Mr. Peck also appears to some to be a perfectionist. When he headed the lawyers' education program, Mr. Sandler recalls, "Richard would send back your paper with a correction to Footnote 34 because a word was misused."
Ms. Meng's case has in some ways pitted East against West, with China accusing Canada of accepting a politically motivated extradition request from the U.S., and jailing two Canadians in apparent reprisal. But her lead counsel has made no secret of his passionate belief in Canadian democracy and what he described in a legal journal as its "remarkable array of individual and societal freedoms and liberties."
And for him, liberty includes the right to be left alone. People ask him how he manages in the modern world without a cellphone. "And I say I have a landline at home," he said in the interview. "You can reach me there. We have an office number. You can reach me there. It's 24 hours. That's how. I like to say I'm never more than 24 hours away from a phone call."

Planning and Zoning
Development in Huerfano County is guided by the Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2010, and the Zoning Regulations and Procedures.
Land Use Department Staff are available to help with questions and concerns related to a prospective application or the regulations and procedures. Applications are available here:
Code Enforcement
The County's policy is to achieve voluntary compliance with reported and discovered code violations. However, not all violations have the same degree of severity. As such, the County has established through this policy priority ranking and procedures. The intent is to allow the level of enforcement that best fits the type and circumstances of the code violation(s) within clear and objective criteria, consistent with the established priorities, and maximize available resources. It is the County's policy that code enforcement follows the priority ranking set forth in this policy.
It is the County's policy to investigate and attempt to resolve all reported and discovered code violations. There may be times when code violations cannot be given the same level of attention, when some code violations may receive no attention at all, or when the County may be unable to carry out the proactive code enforcement activities outlined in this policy. In such circumstances the most serious violations, as determined through application of the priorities and criteria in this section, will be addressed before the less serious violations are addressed, regardless of the order in which the complaints are received. However, complaints alleging both priority and non-priority violations may be processed together to maximize efficiency.
The County has established the following priorities:
- Violations that present an imminent threat to public health and safety or the environment;
- Violations affecting storm drainage, wetlands and/or adjacent areas;
- Building code violations consisting of non-permitted construction or failure to obtain permits for construction;
- Engineering and Environmental Health permit violations including failure to obtain required permits or failure to meet conditions and requirements or permits;
- Land Use and Zoning violations; and
- Multiple complaints received on the same property.
Any person can make a complaint to the County alleging one or more code violations. Anyone wishing to do so is encouraged to file a complaint on a County complaint form. Complaints and any supporting documentation may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or mailed to the Huerfano County Land Use Department at the address at the top of this webpage. Complaints may also be submitted using this link.
Anonymous complaints will be accepted, but may or may not be investigated at the discretion of the Land Use Department depending on the following factors:
- The reliability of the complaint;
- Whether the complaint alleges an imminent threat to public health and safety or to the environment; and
- The ease or difficulty with which the complaint may be verified by County staff.
The County policy is to maintain the confidentiality of Code Enforcement complaint files and computer records, including the identity of the complainant, to the extent legally possible. In addition, the County recognizes that some complainants do not wish to have their names disclosed to the alleged code violator for fear of retaliation. However, in some cases it may be necessary for successful prosecution and enforcement for the complainant to be identified and to testify in court. Additionally, the County's Code Enforcement files are subject to state statutes governing public records and disclosure

When you walk into the entrance of the Blanton's "Making Africa" exhibit, one of the first things you may encounter is Chimamanda Adichie's most popular TED Talk: "The danger of a single story." Adichie dissects how "the single story" can "flatten" another group's experiences by constantly exposing the public to negative tropes and stereotypes. These representations of systemic problems and oppression are rarely coupled with the stories of everyday resilience, and this lack of exposure perpetuates an incomplete narrative. By erasing resilience from the narrative, we muffle, redefine, and distort the holistic experiences of marginalized populations. She defines the "single story" as an incomplete assumption; a product of the collective, public impression we have of a certain place or a particular group of people.
When we think of Africa, we do not ever think of the contemporary designs and arts that are being created. The representations of Africa that we are most often exposed to are the stories of genocide and exploited people; of poor starving children who cannot possibly make art; a lack of infrastructure and violent colonial legacies. These manifestations of memory are what define our collective thoughts and consciousnesses we have of Africa, and the Blanton Museum's new exhibition intends to help dismantle these embedded notions by exposing audiences to the contemporary and revolutionary arts being produced throughout the continent.
"Making Africa" is an invitation to view the continent and its art through a new lens. The second thing you'll probably encounter in this exhibit are Cyrus Kabiru's "C-Stunners." These pieces of art are forged from scrap metal and trash, and they also represent the resilience and future the continent holds. While the spectacles communicate the obvious and significant theme of "the new perspective," the context and motivations behind the creation and materials of these glasses also tell a story of sustainability and innovation. Kabiru was unable to afford to buy glasses in his childhood, but because of this, he was forced to design the vibrant and unique frames found in"C-Stunners" from the scrap metal he found on the streets of Kenya. His recycled artwork essentially gives "trash a second chance," and while Kenya may evoke the single story of poor infrastructure and pollution, Kabiru's collection of "C-Stunners" are the product of resilience and innovation.
In the past year, the diversity in artwork by people of color at the Blanton Museum was extremely diluted by European art and the Ellsworth Kelly exhibit, but "Making Africa" is a step towards diversifying Blanton's art scene.
It is a retelling of Africa through design and art, with an emphasis on the future and potential Africa holds in the international art scene.
The exhibit delves into the individual experiences that can repudiate the traditional notions that bind Africa to its single story. While a significant responsibility is put on the individual viewer to perceive these notions in a different light, this installation firmly demands all viewers to reflect and undo false, preconceived notions in an honest effort to move towards a brighter future.

The Lorentz invariant Dirac equation upon which our deepest understanding of the most fundamental Quantum Mechanics is based—exhibits perfect discrete symmetries of Charge Conjugation C, Parity P and Time T reversal. Not only does the Dirac equation obey these three symmetries CPT, but also all the possible combinations of these symmetries, i.e., CT, CP, PT and CPT. When it comes to the C-symmetry, what this means is that—contrary to physical and natural reality—the Universe must contain equal portions of matter and antimatter. Obviously—this state of affairs that the Dirac equation leads to predictions that are contrary of observations—this—is based on the notion that the Dirac equation in its bare form as handed to us by Dirac is a correct description of reality on this front. In this chapter, we present a fundamental theoretical argument to the effect that: a symmetry violating curved spacetime version of the Dirac equation may be a perdurable solution to this long standing conundrum.

Key messages
- Korin Korin Balit-Djak means 'Growing very strong' in the Woi wurrung language. It provides an overarching framework for action to improve the health, wellbeing and safety of Aboriginal Victorians now and over the next 10 years.
- The purpose of Korin Korin Balit-Djak is to realise the Victorian Government's vision for 'Self-determining, healthy and safe Aboriginal people and communities' in Victoria.
Korin Korin Balit-Djak emerges at a significant time for both Aboriginal communities in Victoria and the government. It follows the government's commitment to self-determination for Aboriginal Victorians.
The Department of Health and Human Services commissioned work that has informed both Korin Korin Balit-Djak and the discussion about Aboriginal self-determination across all areas of the Victorian Government and community. This research and discussion has underpinned a new policy platform for Aboriginal health, wellbeing and safety.
Korin Korin Balit-Djak is informed by an extensive consultation process with Aboriginal communities across Victoria, as well as a strong evidence base, including Koolin Balit evaluation findings (Victorian Government 2012). The plan details how the department will work with Aboriginal communities, community organisations, other government departments and mainstream service providers - now and into the future - to improve the health, wellbeing and safety of Aboriginal people in Victoria.
Korin Korin Balit-Djak covers five domains:
- Aboriginal community leadership
- prioritising Aboriginal culture and community
- system reform across the health and human services sector
- safe, secure, strong families and individuals
- physically, socially and emotionally healthy Aboriginal communities.
Korin Korin Balit-Djak will be reviewed and updated every three years.
Korin Korin Balit-Djak is guided by the government's vision to achieve optimum health, wellbeing and safety for all Victorians so they can live the life they value. It aligns with the department's strategic directions and aspires to address, and ultimately eliminate, systemic racism within the Victorian health and human service sectors.
Digital stories
Dixon Patten
Victorian Aboriginal artist Dixon Patten was commissioned by the department to produce the artwork titled Korin Korin Balit-Djak. In this video, he explains how his artwork depicts the way the department will work with Aboriginal communities to ensure the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal people.
Influencing Policy: Why Self-determined Outcomes Matter
This video highlights the commitment of the Victorian Government to Aboriginal self-determination and the importance of ensuring Aboriginal Victorians lead decisions in policy development and program delivery.
Associate Professor Gregory Phillips on Aboriginal self-determination
The Department of Health and Human Services invited research Fellow Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute and academic Associate Professor Gregory Phillips to introduce and contextualise Aboriginal self-determination for Korin Korin Balit-Djak Aboriginal health, wellbeing and safety strategic plan 2017-2027.

When comparing LG 27UD68-W vs Dell P2415Q, the Slant community recommends Dell P2415Q for most people. In the question"What are the best monitors?" Dell P2415Q is ranked 1st while LG 27UD68-W is ranked 27th. The most important reason people chose Dell P2415Q is:
Complete input lag time (signal delay and pixel response time) is 11.85ms or ¾ of a frame.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Works well in bright rooms
The 27UD68-W offers decent performance in bright environments, where it can get vivid enough to fight glare. The monitor can sustain the brightness of around 310 nits which means that the light coming from doors and windows will not be able to overpower the light that the panel emits.
Pro Doesn't look cloudy
Unlike some other IPS monitors, the LG 27UD68-W doesn't suffer from the dirty screen effect that is usually caused by a panel's poor overall uniformity. Large objects and panning shots look uniform on the screen. The panel's overall uniformity measures at 3.11% dE - a solid result for a monitor in this price bracket.
Pro Reasonably small input lag
Complete input lag time (signal delay and pixel response time) is 11.85ms or ¾ of a frame.
Pro Comes excellently calibrated
Pro Good color temperature uniformity
According to Spyder4Elite tests performed by PC Monitor, P2415Q has good color temperature uniformity. A DeltaE deviation of over 3 can be easily noticed by most people and the highest deviation recorded is 2.5. It's worth noting that the monitor has an uniformity compensation setting that in the same test proved to make things worse with a maximum deviation of 2.9.
Pro Impressive contrast
According to tests performed by PC Monitors, P2415Q set to factory defaults (75% brightness, Standard preset) produces luminance in the range of 0.21 - 237 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 1129. It provides good brightness and dark blacks. It is also capable of going up to 0.30 - 331 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 1182 at 100% brightness.
Con Doesn't support HDR
You can't run HDR content on this monitor.
Con A maximum refresh rate of 60Hz can be a concern for some
A 60Hz monitor, while sufficient for most people in most cases, can still cause issues with fast-moving objects on screen. It's especially important with things like gaming where the ability to react to events happening on the screen quickly is important.
IPS glow is the light on the sides or corners of the screen that can reduce some of the peripheral detail.

My friends, the Scriptures for this Sunday speak a great deal about "listening"—to ourselves and to others, in order that we might have a better understanding of who we are—what God may be calling us to, and what others in our world may be needing from us. Because you see, for the Christian follower of our brother Jesus, it is very much about action on our parts—we can't just "hear" the Word and do nothing—this is clearly not acceptable.
I belong to a Franciscan Life Group (FLG) as a Cojourner with the Rochester, Minnesota order of Franciscan Sisters, that this past week was finally able to meet in person after all the months of COVID where only Zoom gatherings were possible.
Our topic for reflection was the volume of ideas and concerns that have been raised over the past couple of years under the title, Synod on Synodality called for by Pope Francis. This synod or any synod is a time when the laity and the bishops, especially the bishops, are encouraged to truly "listen" to one another, so as to perhaps make concrete decisions for change to make our Church more inclusive, open, and vibrant. As you might expect, our discussion of a half hour was only able to scratch the surface of the needs out there to make our Church more inclusive, open, and vibrant.
I told my life group that when I heard of this synod two years ago, I didn't approach it with much enthusiasm as I still remember a like process done in the 1980's—for a pastoral letter on women. Thoughts and comments from women were sought from around the world. The letter went through four revisions with the first draft the most complete and telling about what women were asking for, and by the time the fourth and final draft appeared, the beautiful and complete statements of what women wanted and needed from their Church were completely gutted. But when those who have the power within the Church represent only half of the people, (the men) this is to be expected.
When I did my pastoral project for my master's degree from St. Mary's University of Minnesota in Pastoral Ministries in 1999, I chose to study and write about clericalism and lack of voice for women within our Church under the title, Excluded by Birth, Diminished by Language: A Case for Inclusivity Within the Catholic church. I had the rare privilege of working with then, Bishop Raymond Lucker of the New Ulm diocese in Minnesota as he was implementing a system of lay pastoral administrators in his diocese to cover for the lack of male priests.
I had hoped to eventually have my research published and tried several avenues to have that done, and other than being able to place a hard-bound copy of it in the university library, that was the extent of sharing the word of how one bishop was "listening" to his people and doing what he could to allow the voices of lay women and men, as well as women religious to be heard.
A final note might be to add that we were in the long papacy of John Paul II who basically was not listening, so in many respects, other than the National Catholic Reporter, not many other publications were willing to "listen" either.
The prophet Amos is attempting today through the first reading to get the people of his time to "listen," and his issue was the "poor" and he speaks rather forcefully relaying God's displeasure of those who "trample on the needy" [for their own gain].
It is important for us all to remember that people are "poor" in many ways. In the discussion of "synodality" or any other synod issue, when all the voices are not heard, we are all a poorer people. Our second reading today from Timothy speaks in a general way to this issue, where he says, "there should be prayers offered for everyone…[this] will please God…who wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth." When we listen, truly listen, to another and hear perhaps, a reality other than our own, we give the very best "prayer" to another.
The gospel from Luke today has a somewhat confusing message from our brother Jesus. We may have found ourselves asking, is Jesus really praising the dishonest steward who is trying to save himself from ridicule and/or punishment? Exegetes tell us "No" and that Jesus is really lifting up the "creativity" of the steward in finding a solution that ultimately helps others.
Within our FLG, I shared my frustration with Church leaders who justify their inaction or inability to truly hear the needs of their people with the adage: "the Church moves slowly!" As one of our members said, "Well that is just an excuse!"
Going back once more to Luke's gospel for today, our brother Jesus ends his teaching with, "You cannot worship God and money." Again, looking broadly at Jesus' words, "money" can be seen as a catchall for whatever stands in the way of "worshipping God" through our actions in the world. We can certainly look at "power" in that sense and our Church hierarchy's strong grasp of it!
Clericalism, that need for men to stand alone as the only conduit for the message of the Spirit is truly about "power" and their need to hold on to it. Not much that is truly good can be accomplished through this synod or any other until this issue of clericalism is addressed.
So my friends, in Timothy's words once again, [let each of us offer] "prayers for everyone," that we might be good "listeners" of all the stories and strive to address all the needs expressed. Amen? Amen!

This study discussed the cases about revision operation of the unsatisfactory or failed ear reconstruction using autologous costal cartilage and residual. Methods: A prospectively maintained database of all consecutive patients who underwent secondary total ear reconstruction from 2013 to 2020 was reviewed. Demographic data and outcomes were assessed. Results: Thirty-six patients with microtia met the inclusion criteria. The age of the patients who underwent secondary reconstruction ranged 6 to 56 years. The follow-up duration was from 1 to 8 years. Primary reconstruction using costal cartilage was performed in 34 cases, and Medpor (porous high-density polyethylene) were used in 2 cases. All 36 cases were treated with costal cartilage as the revision. One-stage revision was performed in 27 cases, including scaffold covered by superficial temporal fascia flap in 9 cases, retroauricular fascia flap in 12 cases and superficial temporal plus retroauricular fascia flap in 5 cases. Nine cases were renovated with expanders by stages, of which 8 cases were covered by retroauricular fascia and 1 case was covered by expanded skin flap. Complications occurred in 2 cases, and 1 patient was not satisfied with the partial scaffold repair. Conclusions: The effect of revision operation of ear reconstruction with costal cartilage is satisfactory, and different methods of ear reconstruction are indicated in different operation conditions, and the revision surgery requires adequate preoperative evaluation. Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study. Copyright © 2022 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD

Looking for lower auto insurance rates? Shoppers have a choice when shopping for affordable Mercedes-Benz SL-Class insurance. You can either spend your time calling around getting price quotes or use the internet to get rate quotes. There is a right way and a wrong way to buy auto insurance and we'll show you the proper way to compare rates for a Mercedes-Benz and find the lowest possible price.
Choosing the best insurance company for you is easy if you know what you're doing. If you are paying for car insurance now, you will be able to lower your premiums substantially using these techniques. Drivers just need to understand the best way to shop their coverage around online.
The method we recommend to get rate comparisons is to take advantage of the fact most insurance companies participate in online systems to provide you with free rate quotes. To start a quote, the only thing you need to do is spend a couple of minutes providing details such as your credit rating estimate, any included safety features, if you went to college, and how many miles driven. The rating information gets transmitted to many of the top insurers and you receive quotes immediately.
To compare rates for a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class now, click here and complete the form.
Auto insurance companies don't always advertise every available discount very clearly, so we researched both well-publicized and the harder-to-find savings tricks you should be using. If you're not getting every credit available, you're just leaving money on the table.
It's important to note that most credits do not apply to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like it's possible to get free car insurance, you won't be that lucky.
For a list of companies offering insurance coverage discounts, click here.
Smart consumers have a good feel for the different types of things that come into play when calculating insurance rates. Knowing what impacts premium levels allows you to make educated decisions that will entitle you to lower insurance prices.
The list below includes a partial list of the pieces companies use to determine prices.
When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there really is no "perfect" insurance plan. Every situation is different.
Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine if you might need an agent's assistance.
If you can't answer these questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form. It's fast, free and can provide invaluable advice.
Drivers can't get away from ads for the lowest price auto insurance by companies like Allstate and Progressive. All the ads make an identical promise that you'll save big after switching to them.
But how can every company say the same thing? It's all in the numbers.
All companies have a certain "appetite" for the driver that earns them a profit. For instance, a driver they prefer could possibly be over the age of 40, has no prior claims, and has a short commute. Any driver that hits that "sweet spot" will get the preferred rates and is almost guaranteed to save when they switch companies.
Potential insureds who don't qualify for these standards will be quoted higher rates and ends up with business not being written. The ad wording is "people who switch" but not "drivers who get quotes" save money. That's why companies can truthfully make those claims. This emphasizes why you should compare many company's rates. Because you never know which company will fit your personal profile best.
Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.
Liability coverage
Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn't cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person's injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability can pay for claims like legal defense fees, repair bills for other people's vehicles, structural damage, loss of income and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision coverage protection
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It's also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the "other guys" are uninsured or don't have enough coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Mercedes-Benz SL-Class.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from flooding. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Coverage for medical expenses
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for things like pain medications, EMT expenses, nursing services and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Budget-conscious 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class insurance is possible from both online companies as well as from independent agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best rate selection. A few companies don't offer online quoting and many times these regional insurance providers only sell through independent insurance agents.
You just read many tips how you can lower your insurance rates. The key thing to remember is the more rate quotes you have, the better your comparison will be. Consumers may even find the most savings is with the least-expected company.
While you're price shopping online, it's not a good idea to reduce coverage to reduce premium. There have been many situations where drivers have reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to discover later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible at the best price while still protecting your assets.

"He has sent text messages to people," Richard Sherman's wife Ashley Moss told dispatchers, "saying he's going to hang himself."
The Seattle Police Department has released the audio of a 911 call from the wife of free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman related to his arrest on charges of burglary domestic violence this week.
Ashley Moss told authorities her husband was "being aggressive" and "wrestling" with her uncle, who was at the couple's home.

"He's threatening to kill himself," Moss said of her spouse. "He has sent text messages to people saying he's going to hang himself. And he's saying that if police show up … please don't shoot, is what I'm asking… He said that if the police show up, he'll try to fight them."
She and the 911 dispatcher had several heated exchanges during the call, including where an emotional Moss repeatedly said she needed police to come to her home "right away," where Sherman had reportedly drank one bottle of vodka and one bottle of Hennessey.
"Listen to me, I'm handling this." the dispatcher said. "You need to stop telling me that."
Sherman was denied bail on the charges and was also reportedly involved in a single-car accident on Tuesday night. He was arrested outside the home of his wife's parents after a struggle in which he sustained minor injuries to his leg and ankle — reportedly from Redmond Police K9 — an officer also sustained scrapes to his leg.
As previously reported by theGrio, Richard Sherman, 33, was booked into the King County Correctional Facility for burglary domestic violence.
According to Pro Football Talk, "Typically, the notion of 'burglary domestic violence' refers to someone entering or refusing to leave a house or dwelling within the context of a domestic dispute."
A judge is expected to review the case this week, at which point Sherman may be granted bail.
"At this time, we're going to make no statements, except he didn't harm anybody," Moss told The Seattle Times. "My kids were not harmed in the incident." Sherman, she said, is "a good person, and this is not his character. We're doing all right, just trying to get him out. I want people to know no one was injured."
Richard Sherman spent his first seven seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and recently played three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He is now a free agent, serves as a vice president on the NFL Players Association's executive committee and has stated in interviews that he would consider re-signing with the Seahawks.
"We were made aware of an arrest last night of one of our player leaders for an alleged domestic violence incident," NFLPA officials said in a statement Wednesday, "and have activated our domestic violence crisis protocol for the protection and support of everyone involved. We will continue to monitor events closely as more facts are made available to us."

Executive Summary
Honduras is a constitutional, multiparty republic. The most recent national and local elections were held in November. Voters elected Xiomara Castro of the LIBRE Party as president for a four-year term scheduled to begin in January 2022. International observers generally recognized the elections as free and fair.
The Honduran National Police maintain internal security and report to the Secretariat of Security. The armed forces, which report to the Secretariat of Defense, are responsible for external security but also exercise some domestic security responsibilities in support of the national police and other civilian authorities. Some larger cities have police forces that operate independently of the national police and report to municipal authorities. The Military Police of Public Order report to military authorities but conduct operations sanctioned by civilian security officials as well as by military leaders. The National Interinstitutional Security Force coordinates the overlapping responsibilities of the national police, military police of public order, National Intelligence Directorate, and Public Ministry during interagency operations. Civilian authorities at times did not maintain effective control over security forces. There were credible reports that members of the security forces committed some abuses.
Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings; torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by government agents ; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest or detention; serious restrictions on free expression and media, including threats to media members by criminal elements and the existence of criminal libel laws; serious government corruption; lack of investigation of and accountability for gender-based violence; and crimes involving violence or threats of violence against indigenous and Afro-descendant communities, and against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex persons.
The government prosecuted some officials who committed abuses, including government corruption, but a weak judicial system and corruption were major obstacles to obtaining convictions.
Organized criminal groups, including local and transnational gangs and narcotics traffickers, were significant perpetrators of violent crimes and committed acts of homicide, torture, kidnapping, extortion, human trafficking, intimidation, and other threats and violence directed against human rights defenders, judicial authorities, lawyers, business community members, journalists, bloggers, women, and other vulnerable populations. The government investigated and prosecuted some of these crimes, but impunity was widespread.
Section 6. Discrimination and Societal Abuses
Rape and Domestic Violence: The law criminalizes all forms of rape of women or men, including spousal rape. The government considers rape a crime of public concern, and the state prosecutes rapists even if victims do not press charges. The penalties for rape range from nine to 13 years' imprisonment. The law was not effectively enforced, and weak public institutional structures contributed to the inadequate enforcement.
The law does not criminalize domestic violence but provides penalties of up to 12 years in prison for violence against a family member, depending on the severity of the assault and aggravating circumstances. If a victim's physical injuries do not reach the severity required to categorize the violence as a criminal act, the legal penalty for a first offense is a sentence of one to three months of community service. Survivors of domestic violence are entitled to certain protective measures, such as removing the abuser from the home and prohibiting the abuser from visiting the victim's work or other frequently visited places. Abusers caught in the act may be detained for up to 24 hours as a preventive measure. The law provides a maximum sentence of three years in prison for disobeying a restraining order connected with the crime of violence against a woman.
Civil society groups reported that women often did not report domestic violence or withdrew charges because they feared, or were economically dependent on, the aggressor. In addition women experienced delays in accessing justice due to police who failed to process complaints in a timely manner or judicial system officials who deferred scheduling hearings. Institutions such as the National Women's Institute attempted to enhance the government's response to domestic violence by opening three additional women's centers in the country. These efforts were insufficient due to limited political will, inadequate staffing, limited or no services in rural areas, absence of or inadequate training and awareness of domestic violence among police and other authorities, and a pattern of male-dominant culture and norms.
In cooperation with the UN Development Program (UNDP), the government operated consolidated reporting centers in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula where women could report crimes, seek medical and psychological attention, and receive other services. These reporting centers were in addition to the 298 government-operated women's offices – one in each municipality – that provided a wide array of services to women, focusing on education, personal finance, health, social and political participation, environmental stewardship, and prevention of gender-based violence.
Sexual Harassment: The law criminalizes sexual harassment, including in employment. Violators face penalties of one to three years in prison and possible suspension of their professional licenses, but the government did not effectively enforce the law.
Reproductive Rights: There were no reports of coerced abortion or involuntary sterilization on the part of government authorities.
Contraception supplies continued to be limited. The law prohibits the sale, distribution, and use of emergency contraception for any reason, including for survivors of sexual violence. The government provided victims of sexual violence access to other health-care services.
Although 74 percent of births were attended by skilled health care personnel, NGOs reported significant gaps in obstetric care, especially in rural areas. The World Bank reported in 2018 that the adolescent birth rate was 72 births per 1,000 girls ages 15 to 19.
Discrimination: Although the law accords women and men the same legal rights and status, including property rights in divorce cases, many women did not fully enjoy such rights due to barriers in access to justice and lack of information regarding legal protections. Most women in the workforce engaged in lower-status and lower-paying informal occupations, such as domestic service, without the benefit of legal protections. By law women have equal access to educational opportunities.

How do I Start a Meteorite or Mineral Collection?
Posted by Chris Colvin on Aug 19th 2022
Meteorite and Mineral collecting can be intimidating!
This is the question all of us have asked ourselves multiple times before we finally took the leap into this fascinating and educational hobby.
Maybe we've collected for some time now, maybe we're interested in upgrading our collection with larger specimens, or just adding that rare rock, mineral, or meteorite we've been looking at for weeks or months now.
If you want to know more about starting out on the right foot, then read on!
Many of us have limited budgets and that can make collecting the rare specimens seem unachievable. For meteorite collectors, that may mean finally adding that Lunar or Martian meteorite to their display case. For mineral collectors, this could be that perfectly double terminated Aquamarine from Madagascar.
If you like fun or super contrasting minerals together, check out this picture of Black Tourmaline and Garnet together from Shiger, Pakistan!
Here are a few tips on starting out with a limited budget of any kind:
1: Don't buy a specimen just to spend your money. If you want something more spendy, just save the $25 you have until next paycheck and then add another $25 to it. Saving your money can be extremely difficult when you see lots of meteorites or minerals that you want... but if small specimens don't do it for you, don't spend the money! Save up until you can buy what you truly want.
2: Decide what you want to collect. With Meteorites this is especially difficult. There are so many types, locations, and specimens that are locked up in museums or inside personal collections that would take very deep pockets to get them out of. Whether you decide to collect meteorites from your home state, or fluorite from a specific mine or region, try to stick with it. The number one reason people get bored with a meteorite and mineral collection or run low on funds to buy what they truly want is because they buy everything and don't focus on what they truly want to collect. Another important reason to focus the collection is for resale later on if you decide to upgrade a mineral or meteorite specimen, or sell off the collection. Instead of having to find a bunch of buyers, you can find one buyer or a few to purchase your collection and they will know what they're getting. Not just a mishmash of things.
3: Once you have figured out your budget from #1 and what you want to focus your collection on for #2, stick to the budget and the focus of the collection. The last thing you would need is to overspend on some rocks and then not be able to pay your cell phone bill, credit card bill, or worse. No specimen of any kind is worth going into debt for. Never forget this. I've personally seen people spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on meteorites and minerals and ask to return them only days later because they can't afford bills that month. Something to keep in mind...
4: Find someone knowledgable to help answer questions or help guide you along the way while you're building the collection. There are many auction sites with either fake stones, or people selling for extremely inflated prices. When first starting out, it may be difficult to spot a fake meteorite or mineral, or to identify prices that are way higher than any respectable business would charge.
5: Keep labels, specimen ID cards, and anything that helps you identify the meteorite or mineral in your collection. You may know what it is when its shiny and new, but the once your collection grows you may begin to wonder what that meteorite is, or what location/mine that Garnet came from. Keep labels and keep them organized in such a way that you can always identify what you have.
6: Just have fun with it! If you decide to collect fluorite from Ohio, Chondrite or Iron meteorites, fossils... whatever it may be, just enjoy it! It's fine to get a random specimen on occasion that makes you happy. There is always something to learn from someone, and someone who is willing to share years of knowledge and collecting experience.
I hope these few tips gave you some idea of where to start when it comes to building a collection! If you have any specific questions please feel free to reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and follow us on Instagram!

I feel like the songs are breathing maybe more sonically than on the first record. I absolutely love the first record, I'm so proud of that one. That one was leaning quite into the Scandipop thing. I think this is still…I mean, I'm Scandinavian, you're gonna hear that I'm Norwegian no matter how much English I speak. But yeah, the guitars are allowed to flow to my vocals, I'm not singing like [mimes relentless ferocity] all the time. It's all breathing a bit more.
I just felt like I wrote a lot of letting go in all the songs. I didn't mean to; letting go just slipped in. And then we thought instead of fighting that concept, we were like, "Whoa, that is the concept, the whole album." Apparently, I had stuff to let go of: Relations that weren't that great that you had to let go of. Fears, doubts that you have, insecurities. And I think that's something we all have. I love writing songs that are personal but where I also think, "I'm sure a lot of people are thinking about exactly the same thing." And I love that about music. That's why all my favorite songs that I have in my playlist, they're all songs that were written from a deeply personal space from the artist's point of view. But it's written in a way that just feels super universal, like, "I feel like the second line in the second verse speaks to me!" And that's the best feeling ever when you hook yourself onto that one line — that feels very personal, like the artist kind of just knew exactly what you were thinking. So, I'm trying to do that same thing with my songs. I want people to listen to the songs and hear one line and be like, "Wow, that's how I feel."
Ever since Jon and myself started writing our blog series about influential artists of all time around about 3 years ago, we've been slowly but surely branching out and listening to artists that we probably would never would have had it not been for the blog series. We've discovered newer artists and veteran singers alike; and we've concluded that God can and often does use any and every artist to, if not point to Him and His unending love, at least reveal something deep and meaningful about the world we live in and something of value that we can use in our everyday life for our betterment. I'm a lyrics guy mostly, and I generally gravitate to music of lyrical substance over party music that places the importance of beats as the highest thing. And so, as I was wanting to give a challenge to myself, and I wanted to review something that would stretch me musically, lyrically, thematically and in every other way; I scrolled through the Apple Music pre-orders page on the app on my phone, as well as taking a look at Wikipedia. Sigrid was a name that popped up and grabbed my attention, and since May when her second album How To Let Go released; I've been listening to her music. She's one of my friend's favourite music artists, and so I was checking out her music on his recommendation; but ultimately How To Let Go surprised me in a good way, as I'm presented with an honest album full of inspiration and an album that isn't afraid to ask the tough questions and deal with the things that probably most CCM albums sweep underneath the rug.
There's always gonna be pressure making a second album, for sure. I feel like that pressure's always gonna be there — I'm sure there's gonna be, like, "What's she gonna do for the third album?' I'm sure that's gonna be there as well, so, yeah, you just try to deal with it in the best way possible. I think the album was made with a lot of love and with a lot of patience as well, because it was made for the past two years, we've been working on this. And a lot of it was made in Copenhagen; Norway and Denmark had, like, a travel corridor during the pandemic… and we were just in the studio every day.
Because of the situation in the world, I wasn't able to travel. So, I didn't have concerts that I had to do, I didn't have to run and get on a flight. It was a very focused way of working because I had that one task to do. And it was also, like, the light in my every day of knowing that I was making this album and I was making these songs. Yeah, it really was a nice time, those weeks we had where we were in the studio every day and we could go back and forth and polish the melodies, polish the hooks and the writing. We went swimming in between vocal takes in the ocean. Yeah, it was really wonderful.
I had no idea who Sigrid was when going into this album review. Yet I feel that with this album, it shouldn't matter, as this album stands on its own apart from who Sigrid is as a person and as an artist. In fact, every album shouldn't be listened to via the lens of 'this artist is great so I'm gonna listen to it' or 'I don't like this artist so I'm not going to give this album a chance'. Because if you have a limited view on what album is great and what album isn't based on your rose-coloured glasses that you're viewing your favourite artist from… well I'd say you're never really going to grow and find some amazing album that may change your life for the better in the future. Because you'll always be playing it safe album-wise. Some food for thought, don't you think? Anyway, I digress. The point is that How To Let Go is powerful, compelling, inspiring, impactful, vulnerable, emotional, personal and every other positive adjective I could think of. Sigrid is not a household name. but if we drop all of our predispositions and assumptions about her down and listen to this album with no expectations… let me say that you will be surprised in a good way and encouraged immensely as well.
Album opener "It Gets Dark" is first and is one of the singles from the album… the third from memory. Sigrid passionately and vibrantly delivers to us a message about living in the moment and actually appreciating the dark moments in her life because the dark moments make the lighter moments and the positive moments all so much brighter. A pop song to its core, "It Gets Dark" speaks about living in the tension of actually embracing the moment, regardless of whether you are feeling happy, sad or any other emotion; while it also inspires us to surrender control to God and let Him take control of all of our hardships, remoulding and reshaping them to make something beautiful from all of our messes. Sigrid reminds us that '…it gets dark so I can see the stars…'; and as we appreciate the present moment and the fact that we are breathing and alive, we can probably see a bigger picture of the wonder of the 'stars'- the beautiful picture arising out of something horrible and messy.
The rest of the album presents to us the concept of learning to live in the present moment and appreciate life and all of its complexities. "Burning Bridges" is an 80's themed dance/pop anthem that essentially is a power ballad that speaks about letting go of toxic people in your life, whether they are part of platonic or romantic relationships; while the compelling and vulnerable "Risk Of Getting Hurt" features Sigrid exemplarily and exquisitely conveying to us that if there isn't a risk of getting hurt emotionally by something, it isn't worth doing. Now I'm not endorsing any of us entering into abusive and toxic relationships just because there is a risk of us getting hurt; but the concept remains- we can't sit on the sidelines of life and expect things to happen to us- we need to be active and daring and courageous and risk taking, no matter what the outcome. That's where true courage and bravery lies, don't you reckon? "Thank Me Later", an emotional, vulnerable and harrowing ballad, speaks about the death of a relationship, and realising that it is the end and acknowledging that it is time to let the other person go; while the pop melody "Mirror" delves into the theme of self-love and self-appreciation, and being comfortable with all facets of yourself and loving the person who you are right now: So, 'Mirror' lyrically for me [is] about how you have to accept yourself. And with that, I mean like you have to accept that sometimes you are a person, you have to be strict, sometimes you have to apologise, sometimes you have to comfort others, sometimes you have to comfort yourself. Basically, just accepting your personality and the positive sides, the negative sides you have. It sounds really cheesy but [overall it's] just being ok with being a human and living with it.
Sometimes song just hit you in the gut and overwhelm you, and "Last To Know" does that- it's a piano ballad in which Sigrid eloquently and confidently relays to her ex that she's in a new relationship and she's happy- and she hopes that the ex is the last to know about the new relationship. "Dancer" speaks about the joy and happiness and confidence and inspiration Sigrid has in this new relationship- to live life to the fullest and to dance with all her might; while the relatable and relevant "A Driver Saved My Night" is one of the most encouraging and uplifting songs on the entire album. As Sigrid emphatically sings out that she felt down one day until the driver in her taxi turned the radio up to a song that she apparently liked; we are encouraged to keep uplifting and encouraging others in whatever way we feel like we can and in whatever way we want to. Because we never really know the impact we have on a person until… probably never. And so, let us spread joy, love, peace, and happiness to others; and who knows, we might have a greater impact on people and on the world at large than we think.
"Mistake Like You" is a melody that delves into the topic of unrequited love, with Sigrid telling a person that she doesn't feel romantic love for them like they love her; however later on Sigrid concludes that she's still glad that she has that person in her life and that her life is all the richer and more beautiful for that 'relationship'. It's a weird concept of wanting to be friends with the person who is in love with you that you feel nothing but friendship for; but Sigrid reminds us that some people in our lives are special in one way, and others and special in another way. "Bad Life", a stirring and powerful rock duet with Bring Me The Horizon, speaks about depression and mental health issues, with both vocalists giving us all encouragement to hold on and to just keep going because '…when the world is on your shoulders, and the weight of your own heart is too much to bear, well, I know that you're afraid things will always be this way, it's just a bad day, not a bad life…'; while the acoustic guitar led "Grow" speaks about being vulnerable with someone and being honest and knowing that you are growing with them forward in every good way possible. How To Let Go then ends with the sobering and melancholy ballad "High Note"- a song that is probably inspired by a bucket list of sorts- as Sigrid declares that she wants to 'go' aka die on a high note and that in between, she wants to live life to the fullest. Similar in theme to Kylie Mingoue's "Dancing"; Sigrid has saved the most vulnerable and honest song to last, and this ends and album full of relevant and relatable lyrical moments that we all need to talk about.
I hope that this is the type of album where my fans, or new fans, will download the whole thing and, like, listen to the album. I think it's the type of album where you can put all of the songs in different playlists you have. Like, there's songs that are perfect for driving or being on the bus or the train, or there's songs that are perfect for pre-drinks with your mates. There are songs that are perfect for waking up and having the first cup of coffee in the morning. Or your last cup of tea before you go to bed. There are cooking songs, there's dancing in your living room, there's the song you want to put on when you're on the dance floor and you want people to dance. I feel like there's a song for every part of the day.
So, I just hope that it's music that can be a part of your everyday life. Because that's how I live with my favorite music, my favorite artists, and bands. They're like the soundtrack to my every day, and every day feels a tiny bit more magical when you have that one song that just gives a really nice filter to your life. Do you know what I mean? Like you have the song in your headphones, and everything feels a bit more… Woo! And that's how I hope the album will make people feel.
From death and relationships to mental health and platonic friendships, Sigrid's new album speaks volumes and is a must for anyone to listen. It's not an album that you will latch onto first up- because it's musically more alternative and slower than the usual pop on the radio; however I reckon we should all give this album a try. Sigrid needs to be congratulated. I'm still not an avid fan of hers; but she will be big in the coming months and years- and it is because of this album. Well done, Sigrid, I can't wait to hear what is next from you!

As her debut vehicle, Dil Bechara becomes Sushant Singh Rajputs swansong, Sanjana Sanghi on how she has yet to come to terms with his demise.
Sanjana Sanghi
Over the years, the aspiring actor imagined different scenarios as she daydreamed about being launched in Bollywood some day. And yet, as Sanjana Sanghi stands on the threshold of fame today, the reality does not match her dreams. The man who walked her through her first film, Sushant Singh Rajput, is no longer by her side. Sanghi is so used to him cheering her on that on certain days, she picks up her phone, half-expecting a message from the late actor.
"When the trailer dropped [on July 6], I thought he will text me, saying 'You have killed it, rockstar!' That's what he would say after a good day on the set. I am not even close to coming to terms with what happened. I know it will hit me in two to three months," says Sanghi, remembering her co-star who passed away on June 14.
Sanghi with Rajput in Dil Bechara
Now, Dil Bechara — Rajput's swansong and her debut vehicle — is set to premiere on Disney+Hotstar. She says that sharing her first film with Rajput made the overwhelming journey seem less daunting, exciting even. "In my head, nobody other than Sushant could have played Manny. Both of us were similarly wired — we were crazy about cinema and books, and our perspectives would often align. If I was nervous about a scene, he would notice it, put his arm around me and take me for a walk.
During the stroll, he would run me through the scene and I was good to go after that. Honestly, he has set the bar high for my [future] co-actors."
The Mukesh Chhabra-directed venture is the official adaptation of The Fault in our Stars (2014), which was inspired by John Green's novel of the same name. "When Mukesh told me during the audition that he was adapting the movie, I couldn't believe my luck. They have culturally adapted the script to set the story in Jamshedpur. The theme of the original has been retained, but it has been given a new flavour."
