The Agile Method is a particular approach to project management that
is utilized in software development. This method assists teams in
responding to the unpredictability of constructing software. It uses
incremental, iterative work sequences that are commonly known as sprints.
This is a simple definition of Agile, the complex definition of Agile is
for advanced users you can know more about the Agile process on complex
Scrum employs real-time decision-making processes based on actual
events and information. This requires well-trained and specialized teams
capable of self-management, communication and decision-making. The teams
in the organization work together while constantly focusing on their
common interests. To get more details on the complex definition of SCRUM
you can look at http://scrumreferencecard.com/
Satisfy the client and continually develop software
Changing requirements are embraced for the client's competitive
Concentrate on delivering working software frequently. Delivery
preference will be placed on the shortest possible time span.
Developers and business people must work together throughout the
entire project.
Projects must be based on people who are motivated. Give them
the proper environment and the support that they need. They should be
trusted to get their jobs done.
Face-to-face communication is the best way to transfer
information to and from a team.
Working software is the primary measurement of progress.
Agile processes will promote development that is sustainable.
Sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain an
indefinite, constant pace.
Constant attention to technical excellence and good design will
enhance agility.
Simplicity is considered to be the art of maximizing the work
that is not done, and it is essential.
Self-organized teams usually create the best designs.
At regular intervals, the team will reflect on how to become
more effective, and they will tune and adjust their behavior
The product vision is a definition of what your product is, how it
will support your company or organization's strategy, and who will use
the product.
The product roadmap is a high-level view of the product
requirements, with a loose time frame for when you will develop those
requirements. Identifying product requirements and then prioritizing and
roughly estimating the effort for those requirements are a large part of
creating your product roadmap.
The release plan identifies a high-level timetable for the release
of working software. An agile project will have many releases, with the
highest-priority features launching first. A typical release includes
three-to-five sprints.
The product owner, the master, and the development team plan
sprints, also called iterations, and start creating the product within
those sprints. Sprint planning sessions take place at the start of each
sprint, where the scrum team determines what requirements will be in the
upcoming iteration.
During each sprint, the development team has daily meetings. In
the daily meeting, you spend no more than 15 minutes and discuss what
you completed yesterday, what you will work on today, and any roadblocks
you have.
The team holds a sprint review. In the sprint review, at the end
of every sprint, you demonstrate the working product created during the
sprint to the product stakeholders.
The team holds a sprint retrospective. The sprint retrospective is
a meeting where the team discusses how the sprint went and plans for
improvements in the next sprint. Like the sprint review, you have a
sprint retrospective at the end of every sprint.
Development team: The group of
people who do the work of creating a product. Programmers, testers,
designers, writers, and anyone else who has a hands-on role in product
development is a member of the development team.
Product owner: The person
responsible for bridging the gap between the customer, business
stakeholders, and the development team. The product owner is an expert
on the product and the customer's needs and priorities. The product
owner works with the development team daily to help clarify
requirements. The product owner is sometimes called a customer
Scrum master: The person
responsible for supporting the development team, clearing
organizational roadblocks, and keeping the agile process consistent. A
scrum master is sometimes called a project facilitator.
Stakeholders: Anyone with an
interest in the project. Stakeholders are not ultimately responsible
for the product, but they provide input and are affected by the
project's outcome. The group of stakeholders is diverse and can
include people from different departments, or even different
Agile mentor: Someone who has
experience implementing agile projects and can share that experience
with a project team. The agile mentor can provide valuable feedback
and advice to new project teams and to project teams that want to
perform at a higher level.
Product vision statement: An
elevator pitch, or a quick summary, to communicate how your product
supports the company's or organization's strategies. The vision
statement must articulate the goals for the product.
Product backlog: The full list
of what is in the scope for your project, ordered by priority. Once
you have your first requirement, you have a product backlog.
Product roadmap: The product
roadmap is a high-level view of the product requirements, with a loose
time frame for when you will develop those requirements.
Release plan: A high-level
timetable for the release of working software.
Sprint backlog: The goal, user
stories, and tasks associated with the current sprint.
Increment: The working product
functionality at the end of each sprint.
Project planning: The initial
planning for your project. Project planning includes creating a
product vision statement and a product roadmap, and can take place in
as little time as one day.
Release planning: Planning the
next set of product features to release and identifying an imminent
product launch date around which the team can mobilize. On agile
projects, you plan one release at a time.
Sprint: A short cycle of
development, in which the team creates potentially shippable product
functionality. Sprints, sometimes called iterations, typically last
between one and four weeks. Sprints can last as little as one day, but
should not be longer than four weeks. Sprints should remain the same
length throughout the entire projects.
Sprint planning: A meeting at
the beginning of each sprint where the scrum team commits to a sprint
goal. They also identify the requirements that support this goal and
will be part of the sprint, and the individual tasks it will take to
complete each requirement.
Daily scrum: A 15-minute
meeting held each day in a sprint, where development team members
state what they completed the day before, what they will complete on
the current day, and whether they have any roadblocks.
Sprint review: A meeting at the
end of each sprint, introduced by the product owner, where the
development team demonstrates the working product functionality it
completed during the sprint.
Sprint retrospective: A meeting
at the end of each sprint where the scrum team discusses what went
well, what could change, and how to make any changes.

She has a horrible bedside manner, barely spent anytime with me, was rude, talking over me, didn't listen, basically did the opposite that a good Psychiatrist would do. Please do NOT see, learn from my mistake, there are many Dr's she is one of the worst almost anyone would be better.

Description: In his trailblazing book Theory U, Otto Scharmer described a powerful process for sensing the future that is emerging so we can align ourselves with it and help it to come into being. Now he shows that this same U process is the key to finally resolving the multiple crises we face today.One of the key insights of Theory U is that form follows awareness: the quality of the results in any kind of system is a function of the awareness that people in the system are operating from. Even though our world is interconnected in ways unimaginable even a decade ago, in many cases our awareness—whether as individuals, organizations or nations—is still limited and local. To use an analogy from biology, even though our actions affect the larger ecosystem of which we are a part—in fact the multiple interacting economic, social, political and environmental ecosystems—we sill behave as though our actions are narrow in scope and impact. We see ourselves as part of a far smaller, more isolated ego-system.Scharmer and Kaufer explain why actions based on this "ego-system" awareness not only result in recurring crises, but doom any attempt to resolve them—we are trying to meet new challenges with an obsolete mindset. To show the shape of the emerging future they bring this ecosystem awareness to bear on areas such as labor, capital, production, technology, leadership, ownership and many others, offering a blueprint for a new society based on a profound understanding of how the actions of each affects the many.This book's journey is about a path and a method of dropping the baggage of old habits of thought and then crossing through the gate to an economy that operates more consciously, inclusively, and collectively.

Well, now you can with ChargeAll — the first portable battery pack that has both a USB charging socket and a 120-volt wall plug outlet.

MIT's rather fabulous Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), after using humble WiFi waves to sense movement behind a wall, has now improved its technology to the point that it can remotely — from behind a wall in another room — can detect heart rate and respiration. MIT has successfully used this technology to noninvasively check a sleeping baby's breathing and pulse, and even to track the breathing of two adults simultaneously. Yes, there are videos of both feats embedded below.
At long last, some Japanese researchers have created an intelligent automatic sliding door. No longer must you wait patiently for the door to slowly judder open; no more must you be frustrated by doors accidentally opening as you walk by them. This intelligent door even has the ability to match the size of the opening depending on the number of people walking towards it — and if it detects someone running towards it, it slides open at max speed. Yes, this is this glorious realization of the Star Trek sliding door that opens just in time for you to cross the threshold.
Elon Musk has announced that Tesla, going forward, will open its entire suite of patents to interested parties who want to build Tesla-compatible products. Is this a game-changer for the EV industry?
New research from MIT could shed light on the inner workings of a new type of lithium ion battery, for the first time showing scientists why exactly it performs so well.
While the world's only major fusion power effort — ITER — continues to trundle along, with an eventual first-fusion date of 2027 at a cost of more than $20 billion to taxpayers, there's a small lab in New Jersey that says it can produce fusion power within a year, with a total spend of just a few million dollars. To be honest it sounds too good to be true — but rest assured that Focus Fusion, at least to my eyes, is the real deal. This isn't some kind of magical, inexplicable witchcraft like cold fusion: Focus Fusion appears to be based on cold, hard science. This could actually be it.

Copyright Trolls
When the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) declared an end to its litigation campaign against music fans who used peer-to-peer technology to share music, many people thought that would be the end of mass copyright litigation—after all, hadn't the RIAA demonstrated that suing customers was no way to improve the bottom line?
Apparently not everyone got the memo. Since then, at least three groups have begun to experiment with using mass copyright litigation to extract settlements from individuals. These copyright trolls try to grow businesses out of suing Internet users — their tactics include targeting large groups of anonymous "Doe defendants" to improperly minimize their court costs and exploiting the massive damages in copyright law in order to pressure defendants into settling quickly.
EFF is working hard to help victims get access to the resources they need to defend their rights call the court's attention to trolls' disrespect for due process and educate the public about the harms of copyright trolling.
U.S. Copyright Group
Have you been targeted by a USCG subpoena? Learn more about the claims made against you, explore possible defenses, and try to find legal counsel.
The U.S. Copyright Group (USCG) approaches independent film producers and offers to collect money from people who are illegally downloading their movies on BitTorrent. USCG currently represents the producers of several films including The Hurt Locker and Far Cry. USCG then files predatory lawsuits implicating thousands of unnamed John Does, subpoenas their identities from the ISP's, and then sues the individuals themselves. Once the user's identity is known USCG threatens a judgment of up to $150,000 per downloaded movie — the maximum penalty allowable by law in copyright suits and a very unlikely judgment in cases arising from a single noncommercial infringement — in order to pressure the alleged infringers to settle quickly for $1,500 to $2,500 per person. The judge in two of USCG's cases has dismissed many of the defendants though thousands more remain.
Righthaven brought hundreds of lawsuits in federal court claiming copyright infringement, even though it does not create, produce or distribute any content. Instead, Righthaven created lawsuits by scouring the Internet for content from Las Vegas Review-Journal stories posted on blogs and online forums, claiming to acquire the copyright to those particular stories from Stephens Media LLC (the Review-Journal's publisher), and then suing the posters for infringement. Righthaven also worked with the Denver Post. As part of its lawsuit business model, Righthaven claims damages of up to $150,000 under the Copyright Act's statutory damages provisions, seeks the target's domain name and uses these threats to attempt to push defendants into a quick settlement.
Righthaven is no longer filing new lawsuits, and almost all of its cases have been dismissed. While many defendants paid settlements, Righthaven has never won a single case on the merits and has been ordered to pay over $200,000 for defendants' attorneys fees and $5,000 in sanctions. Righthaven's domain name, righthaven.com, was auctioned to help pay these judgments, and founder and CEO, Las Vegas attorney Steven A. Gibson, was investigated by the Nevada State Bar.
Righthaven v. Democratic Underground. EFF, Fenwick & West LLP, and attorney Chad Bowers represented Democratic Underground in a case over a five-sentence excerpt of a Las Vegas Review-Journal news story that a user posted on the forum, with a link back to the Review-Journal website.
Stephens Media, the original owner of the article, disclosed the Strategic Alliance Agreement ("SAA") it had entered into with Righthaven, which governs assignments from Stephens Media to Righthaven and the relationship between them. The Court found that the SAA prevented subsequent assignments from transferring the exclusive rights necessary to maintain standing in a copyright infringement action. Later, Democratic Underground secured a declaratory judgment against Stephens Media determining that it did not infringe Stephens Media's copyright.
Righthaven v. Tad DiBiase. EFF, Colleen Bal and Bart Volkmer from the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and attorney Chad Bowers are represented DiBiase, an attorney who consults with law enforcement across the country on "no body" cases -- where the victim is missing and presumed dead, but no body has been found. DiBiase runs a website at www.nobodycases.com to gather information on these complex investigations in order to help other prosecutors as well as family and friends of "no body" murder victims.
The Court found that Righthaven was not entitled to seize DiBiase's domain name. Later, the federal court determined that Righthaven did not own the copyright, and dismissed the litigation. Righthaven appealed, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal heard oral argument on February 5, 2013.
Porn Downloading Lawsuits
In these cases the owners of the adult movies filed mass lawsuits based on single counts of copyright infringement stemming from the downloading of a pornographic film and improperly lumped hundreds of defendants together regardless of where the IP addresses indicate the defendants live. To date over 50,000 Does have been targeted in cases filed in West Virginia, Texas, Illinois, and the Northern District of California. The motivation behind these cases appears to be to leverage the risk of embarrassment associated with pornography to coerce settlement payments despite serious problems with the underlying claims. The judge in several of the cases filed in West Virginia has blocked plaintiffs from proceeding against almost all of the defendants in those cases —approximately 5,400 people. Unfortunately, thousands of defendants in other cases are still under threat.

����A peculiar epidemic spreads among athletes every four years or so, and canoe racer Windy Gordon has caught the bug. "We call it five-ring fever," said Gordon, who has raced in Olympic Festivals and national and world championships but never in the Olympic Games. "I've always had a real bad case of it." With his 40th birthday approaching in the fall, Gordon and his 44-year-old partner Steve Thomas know that the odds aren't necessarily in their favor for a bid in Atlanta next summer. But the more they train together, the more hopeful they become. A canoe racer since 1982, Gordon was planning to end his competitive career in 1988. But then two of his acquaintances won the gold medal in Barcelona in 1992, and he got the fever. He split up with his partner of four years in January and started training with Thomas. "It really feels like we've been together for a year," he said. For now, Gordon, a Wofford College graduate, is splitting his time between training and soliciting sponsorships. In two weeks, he and Thomas will race in a regional qualifier in South Bend, Ind., where they will be vying for a spot at this summer's Olympic Festival. They must perform well enough at a race in the next year to be ranked among the top 15 boats in the country - because only the top 15 will go the Olympic trials. The trails will probably be scheduled for spring of 1996 on the Ocoee River on the Tennessee-North Carolina line. At the Olympic level, paddling is split into sprint and slalom divisions. Slalom racing is done on whitewater and sprint racers compete on flatwater. And sprint and slalom racers are further divided by the type of boat they paddle. For example, the classes of whitewater boats are men's kayak, women's kayak and men's C1 (decked single canoe) and men's C2 (decked double canoe.) Gordon and Thomas will race in the C2 slalom division. Starting with the Atlanta Olympics, all individual sports are subject to a two-tiered Olympic qualifying system, said Leslie Cline with the U.S. Canoe and Kayak Team headquarters in Indianapolis. First, each country must secure positions for its athletes based on the nation's performance at this summer's world championships. Positions for slalom racing will be allotted at the championships in Nottingham, England, and the sprint qualifying spots will be determined in Dussburg, Germany. After a country is given a certain number of spots for the Olympics, specific athletes must then qualify for those spots. That's what the Olympic Trials are for, planned for the Ocoee River for whitewater events and at Lake Lanier for flatwater. The actual Olympic paddling events will also be held on the Ocoee River and Lake Lanier, Cline said. Many of the nation's top whitewater paddlers train in the Appalachian Mountains, Gordon said. Scott Shipley, who trains at the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, N.C., is considered the top kayak racer in the U.S. Original Atex file name: WOFFSI.DE

Big Blue Hotel
Top Family Hotel
Ocean Boulevard, Pleasure Beach Resort, Blackpool, FY4 1ND
0.7 km from
Big room, friendly service and ease of access to Blackpool Promenade The Breakfast Buffet seemed disorganised as we had to wait nearly half an hour to get a table. When we got to our table, there were many tables not filled around us. They don't seem to be able to have enough staff/tables to accomodate all guests in a full hotel.
Close to the pleasure beach. Home from home. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely. Having to go home.
Overall a very nice hotel, the breakfasts were amazing! The rooms were pretty basic, bedside lights did not work, no batteries in tv/dvd remotes, bathroom linen could have been better (no flannels or bath robes) Very noisey during the night!
it was a very clean and staff were so helpful, room was amazing, had a great stay and will be returning.
The hotel is in a good location with all the top class amenities you'd expect of a venue of this standard. All the staff were very helpful and extremely pleasant. Restaurant staff especially made you feel relaxed and were a good laugh. Have been before and will definitely return.
The location of the hotel and the parking facilities. The breakfast buffet was excellent.
the size of the rooms, the staff in the bar very customer focused. the hot ice package very good value for money and excellent breakfast menu. dvd didn't work very well, and there was dust under the tv, when checking package wasn't explained it was only on asking did we find out what was included.
Welcoming, friendly reception staff. Spacious comfortable room with air conditioning, big bed and beautiful bathroom. Excellent breakfast.
We got what we expected
everyone was so freindly and helpful the food was fantastic very clean very modern great choice of wines the rooms were of a very good stanard could not fault the hotel in any way
staff were very pleasant high standard in cleanliness also very friendly alround good family holiday break. just off south beach 2 min from pleasure beach and tram stops big thanks to john and jossie for a good weekend
It was nice, clean and warm and the owners was friendly and helpful. A nice hotel for a short break by the sea. I would stay there again.
The standard of cleanliness was excellent, the staff were helpful and friendly.
Cleanliness of the room and very accommodating Not being able to park close to the hotel
Cleanliness of room and staff was informed on web their was a pool table, darts etc. This was not the case. Bar not manned all evening
excellent breakfast, very clean rooms, friendly staff
Friendly staff and lovely welcome. The room was a bit small and breakfast was only served till 9am!
the breakfast would have liked a glass of wine before going out to have tea
Warm welcome, helpful staff.Comfortable beds. Only stayed for one night but the breakfast was excellent. The bathroom was a bit on the small side.
a fantastic break, very clean rooms, lovely breakfast, great location near pleasure beach.
Location etc Active hotels charged £54.00 pounds per night when the actual rate within the hotel was a more reasonable £28.00 - a little unfair don't you think? I would welcome your comments on this as the difference is quite a sizeable sum and I am not very happy about this, we politely paid the amount charged but ought to have refused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
everything couldnt fault it staff were brilliant no
very welcoming staff, nothing to much trouble for them, felt really looked after
Friendly staff, good location, excellent breakfast
Nice pleasant staff and good breakfast
Landlady very helpful made you feel at home. Also very close to all the promenade. Difficult to park.
very friendly breakfasts lovely the parking is horrendous and we went out of season luckily the owners did let us park in their space the first day but space was taken second day and had to drive round looking for parking
On arrival to the hotel, I was told that the £20 piund deposit we thought was taken at time of booking wasn't so we had to pay the full amount on the day. This wasnt that much of a problem however as it does state on the website that the money will be taken, it could cause other guests problems if they are having to budget there money!
Staff really welcoming and friendly was under the impression that there were parking facilities and there wasnt any so had to park quite far from the hotel
thought the workers of hotel are fantastic, hotel right next to pleasure beach and 2 mile walk to centre but was nice to walk along the sea front and shops. the beds were very soft and the bath rooms were small, found the hotel cold and was kept awake during night as so cold. but did have a fantastic stay and was nice to come back to room in evening and relax and the staff made us soo welcome and bar prices there were fantastic
There were loads of eatting places near by That there was no secure room for bagage after checking out only an area in the front lounge
Very friendly owners and excellent location on Blackpool prom beside south pier and very close to pleasure beach - but not noisy. Catered well for extra young children. No private parking and empty spaces on-street were difficult to find - although we did stay during Blackpool's busiest weekend of the year so probably not an issue most of the time.
Owners were lovely very helpfull and pleasent. Very clean hotel The breakfast was only small
The hotel was very friendly, comfortable and clean. It is in an ideal location for the pleasure beach. We really enjoyed our stay and will be returning.

Synopsis: Blanco County, Texas: It's the week before deer hunting season, as close to a statewide holiday you get in Texas, and the locals are getting restless. Red O'Brien and Billy Don Craddock aren't the only good ol' boys out at night spotlighting deer from their pickups, trying to get a jump on the hundreds of hunters that will be out come Saturday. Game Warden John Marlin has his hands full with poaching complaints coming in faster than he can write out-of-season tickets. Then a call of a different sort comes in. A man dressed up in some sort of deer costume has been shot at the Circle S ranch, and witnesses are reporting a massive wild-eyed buck deer prancing about the pasture in a lovesick frenzy.
Marlin's seen a lot in his years, but this is wilder than he could have imagined: the man in the deer suit is a good friend, and the whacked-out whitetail isn't exactly a stranger either. It's the beginning of a mad, frantic weekend in Blanco County, one that will see a few more men shot, an invasion by Colombians with more than hunting on their minds, and damn near the end of Marlin's life. Newcomer Ben Rehder serves it all up with a huge helping of humor in this comic mystery that will firmly establish him as the funniest crime writer in Texas.
From the Inside Flap:
Shooting praise for Buck Fever
"This is a wild and crazy first novel, crowded with weird people, unusual relationships (both animal and human), and frequent humor that will appeal to fans of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and other comic mystery writers. Strongly recommended."-Library Journal (starred review)
"Briskly paced, amusing, spiced with deftly drawn good-old-boy portraits: an altogether promising debut."-Kirkus Reviews
"Buck Fever is a dripping-cold long-neck and a smoldering pile of spent double-aught shells. This one slithers, shakes and strikes like a diamondback. Don't miss it."-Tim Dorsey, author of Florida Roadkill and Triggerfish Twist
"[A] promising debut. . . comes within shooting distance of Hiaasen and Leonard territory."
"A funny, nightmarish tale from the Texas Hill Country, where being a game warden might be harder than being a cop."-Jamie Harrison, author of Blue Deer Thaw
"Ben Rehder's Buck Fever is absolutely the epitome of hunting camp jabber. I was going to write a book exactly like this, then he stole the idea and beat me to the printer."

Dearest Mike,
I would just like to formally apologize for my hurtful comments and sour insinuations regarding both your method of eating In-N-Out burgers and your span of knowledge of English-language vocabulary (or lack thereof). You have been my best friend for over 12 years now, and I felt it was time to be undeviatingly honest with you. In retrospect it may have been best to have kept those said comments to myself.
As I listened to the four of you gorge yourselves on In-N-Out burgers, my delicate ears were abruptly polluted by the nauseating cacophony of your smacking lips and mouths. It resembled a feeding frenzy of a pack of ravenous wolves as they descended upon an innocent collection of adorable baby chickens and sweet, appealing white rabbits. I came perilously close to vomiting my gourmet ramen lunch. I demand that you publicly apologize for this transgression.
One smacking mouth sound particularly irked me, and I naturally assumed it was you, Mike. As both my best friend and having actually lived with you, I know that you have the revolting habit of eating with your mouth as wide open as your fly after draining your hairy Italian lizard (unfortunately, yes, I have seen it before).
You skillfully dodged my accusation; however, I think your explanation that you turned off your microphone as you greedily feasted on In-N-Out is a crock of festering shit. But I'll be the bigger man (literally) and apologize anyways … you fuckin' open-mouth-eating pansy. Knowing that In-N-Out isn't available in Japan, you ate it during your podcast just to spite me. You also did it to devilishly tease that charitable vessel-of-the-angels guest of yours (Phil Ranta). That just goes to show how much of an asshole you are.
I also want to apologize for pointing out that you constantly misuse English vocabulary. Having spent the last four and a half years in Japan, I will humbly admit that I have lost about 50% of my former knowledge of English. Nevertheless, I still retain enough of my native language to know that when it comes to any word over three syllables, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Just ask Joe. Now there's a smart guy that knows what he's talking about. Joe – could you please explain the meaning of the word "plight" to Mister Mike Constantly-burping-tini?
Well, I guess that's it. I'm truly sorry from the bottom of my heart, you crybaby bitch.
P.S. So since I technically apologized, we're cool now … right, Mike? Cuz I still need a place to crash when I'm visiting LA. I can't stay at my parents' house anymore because you STOLE MY DAD from me. Oh, and if you break his heart, I'll kill you.

Update, March 2015: Since we published this story, insurance options for rideshare drivers have started to appear. Click here to see our round-up of insurance options for rideshare drivers. However, complete auto insurance coverage is still unavailable to the vast majority of rideshare drivers.
Consider this insurance horror story:
Someone pulls up an app on their phone, types in the address of where they need to go, and orders your car. You turn around and drive to pick them up.
While you're driving, you look over to your phone to make sure you're still heading in the right direction. While you're looking the other way, you hit a car. It's not a big accident (luckily), but it's bad enough that the other driver calls the police (and you have to cancel your pick-up).
The police get there, they take down all of your info, including the fact that you were driving for a company called "Uber." You submit your claim to your auto insurance company and go about your life.
A few days later, your insurance company calls you. Unfortunately, your claim has been denied because you were performing a business activity. You're now on the hook not only for your own car repairs, but the other driver's, too. Oh, and by the way: your car insurance policy has been canceled.
You contact Uber to see if their insurance policy is going to cover the damages. Nope, says the woman on the other end of the phone. Since you didn't have a passenger in the car, they're not liable. Consider yourself lucky you didn't hurt anyone.
A Taxi By Any Other Name
You've probably heard of Uber, the app that lets you hail a taxi from your smartphone. You may also have heard of its competitors Lyft and Sidecar. While Uber has a number of commercially licensed black car services, it also has a product it calls UberX. Just like Lyft and Sidecar, UberX lets you hail a car driven by… some dude?
That's right: unlike traditional taxi medallion companies or a black car service, almost anyone can drive for UberX, Lyft, and Sidecar. All you need is a car and a smartphone app. This is controversial for a number of reasons, ranging from worker's rights to safety issues. Writer David Fagin went undercover as an Uber driver for Huffington Post. He didn't have any trouble: "[Uber will] pretty much take anyone, as is demonstrated by the downloadable video test you have to pass, which is about as hard to master as tying your shoes. From there, as far as I can tell there's no license check; you simply get your vehicle's paperwork and head to a nearby Holiday Inn."
Lyft and Sidecar have described their services as "ride-sharing." They're not taxi companies, or even a driving service – instead, they provide "marketplaces" where drivers can offer their services and users can get a ride. Lyft even goes so far as to describe their users, on both ends, as a "community." It's "your friend with a car," according to the website – not a driver you're hiring.
Critics, especially traditional taxi drivers, see this as deceptive. You pay a "suggested donation" to your Lyft driver, for instance, and if you don't pay it, you'll be blocked from the service. They are, for all intents and purposes, taxis.
The tension between our traditional idea of a taxi and the updates to the model that UberX, Lyft, and Sidecar provide is at the heart of the debate between government regulators and the companies in question. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) went so far as to categorize UberX, Lyft, and Sidecar as an entirely new category of transportation services: transportation network companies, or TNCs.
The issue of what exactly a transportation network company is has plagued Uber and its competitors across over thirty U.S. states and almost a dozen countries. So far, government officials have been unimpressed by the companies' insistence that they are not taxis, and therefore get to skirt around regulation.
Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar would rather have you think of them as technology companies. As Uber wrote in a legal filing with the CPUC:
Uber operates no vehicles, and does not hold itself out or advertise itself as a transportation service provider. In fact and law, Uber does not provide transportation services of any kind and does not own, lease or charter any vehicles for the transportation of passengers. On the contrary, Uber is a technology company that licenses the Uber App to transportation service providers. The transportation service providers pay a fee to Uber to use its software technology; the passenger of the transportation service provider pays the transportation service provider for transportation services received.
Ed Healy, taxi driver and writer of the Phantom Cab Driver blog, retorts:
They set the rates for both the passengers and the drivers. They collect the money and pay the driver. They hire the drivers. They blackball undesirable passengers. They tell their drivers where the best places to pick up are and, if the drivers don't pick up a high enough percentage of the fares, Uber fires them. But Uber isn't in the transportation business. Right!
Government agencies and regulators overwhelmingly agree with Healy's take: Uber is a taxi company, whether they like it or not. (If you were to ask Uber and its defenders, however, they would probably tell you that regulators are in the pockets of a deeply entrenched taxi industry.)
How governments have chosen to deal with these companies has varied wildly. Some, like California and Colorado, don't see the point in completely outlawing TNCs, especially since they've proven incredibly popular compared to traditional taxis.
Colorado, the second state to enact regulation for TNCs, took a liberal approach to the services. Unlike Colorado's taxi drivers, TNC drivers will not have to go through criminal background checks. As Colorado's Governor John Hickenlooper declared, "rules designed to protect consumers should not burden businesses with unnecessary red tape or stifle competition by creating barriers to entry."
Police in Houston, Madison, and Pittsburgh, on the other hand, have issued citations to Uber and Lyft drivers for "operating an illegal taxi." Many states where Uber has set up shop have issued cease-and-desist orders until legislators can enact regulations.
The Insurance Secret Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar Don't Want You To Know
All of that backstory is very important in understanding the debate happening across the country right now: who, exactly, is liable when a driver gets into an accident?
It's a question that strikes at the heart of how these companies self-identify. If they are just facilitating a relationship between a third-party driver and a user, as they claim they do as "technology companies," then they shouldn't be liable for much, if anything.
That leaves much of the insurance burden on the drivers, who are using their own personal cars and their own personal car insurance (PCI). What these drivers may not know, however, is that their PCI policy may not cover them if they're driving for Uber, Lyft, or any other "ride-sharing" app.
Despite the Lyft website describing their drivers as "your friend with a car," auto insurance companies see them as commercial drivers. If you have a PCI policy, insurers typically won't cover an accident that occurs while you're conducting a commercial activity. Some drivers have reported being able to file a claim with the insurance company fully aware of their status as a TNC driver, but KQED speculates that since CPUC's first step in regulating TNCs, insurance companies have been more cautious about TNC drivers. Post-regulation, the auto insurance companies have been clear: PCI policies don't cover any "vehicles used for transporting passengers for a charge," according to the Personal Insurance Federation of California.
There have even been reports of insurance companies like Geico canceling PCI policies or refusing to renew them because of a driver's UberX or Lyft activity. KQED, a public media company in Northern California, reported on several California drivers being turned down for insurance after revealing their plans to drive for TNCs.
This is in direct opposition to statements from both Uber and Lyft. In a blog post from February of 2014, Uber posted an infographic that shows, according to them, when a PCI policy ends and when Uber's insurance begins. When the Uber app is off, a driver's PCI covers them. When the Uber app is on and the driver has a passenger, Uber's insurance covers them. The gap in between those two periods – when the Uber app is on but there's no passenger in the vehicle – has become a lightening rod for controversy and debate between TNCs, regulators, and drivers.
(Image source: Uber Blog, February 2014)
This insurance gap came to the public's attention at the beginning of this year, when Syed Muzzafar, an UberX driver in San Francisco, struck an entire family with his Honda SUV, killing six-year-old Sofia Liu. Liu's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Uber, though Uber is denying that it is liable for any damages because Muzzafar did not have a passenger in his car at the time of the accident.
In response to this incident, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) re-examined its insurance requirements for TNCs. Assembly Bill No. 2293, signed into law on September 17, institutes a number of new requirements for TNCs operating in California, all of which must be met by July 1, 2015.
- TNCs are now required to provide insurance from the moment a driver turns on their app.
- Drivers are responsible for maintaining primary liability insurance coverage of at least $50,000 per person and $100,000 per occurrence of death and personal injury, as well as $30,000 of coverage for property damage. This insurance can be paid for by the driver or the insurance company.
- TNCs are required to provide, at minimum, $1,000,000 in coverage from the time someone is picked up until the transaction is complete or the passenger has left the vehicle, which ever one happens later.
- Drivers are required to carry proof of insurance coverage. The bill also suggests that private auto insurance companies come up with new plans to cover the mixed personal/business use that TNC drivers exhibit.
This is only one state, however, and elsewhere in the country, TNCs are no under no obligation to offer coverage for drivers when they don't have a passenger. Many drivers remain unaware that they may not be covered by their personal auto insurance policy. Hopefully, auto insurance companies will be encouraged by California's new regulations to create hybrid personal and commercial insurance policies, but questions still remain about how those policies would work. As New York Time's Ron Lieber put it:
The bill also encourages insurers to develop new policies for drivers that could handle both commercial and personal vehicle use; it remains to be seen whether companies like Uber and Lyft will buy it for drivers, whether the drivers will have to buy it themselves, what it will cost, how much the additional costs will add to customers' fares and whether other states and cities will adopt similar rules.
Artist's interpretation.
How do drivers protect themselves?
If you're a driver for one of these companies, you might be a little nervous after reading all of that. If you want to make sure you're covered, there are a few things you can do.
The easiest thing to do would be to buy commercial auto insurance, but for many part-time drivers, this isn't cost effective. You might be better off contacting your current insurance provider and asking questions about how they deal with claims filed by TNC drivers.
You should also see what kind of local or state regulations are in place for TNCs and their drivers. If your state requires that TNCs provide insurance, contact the company you work for and get proof of insurance for your car.
In the meantime, you can also push your state representative to push forward legislation that would regulate TNCs. You can also contact your insurance company and let them know that you support the creation of hybrid personal/commercial policies.

Published byAnabel Angela Underwood Modified over 2 years ago
Tis the Season This time of year there are many – in the name of Christianity – who… – Celebrate the birth of Jesus. – Purposely DO NOT celebrate the birth of Jesus. Because of "Christmas" all are reminded of the birth of Jesus.
The Reality of Immanuel! If the reality of Jesus' birth was of such great significance by those prophesying it, or those waiting for it, and those gazing upon it, how much more significance is there that the Holy Spirit records the contrasting reactions of it?
Biblically Rejoicing: – Heavenly host. Lk. 2:13-14 – Shepherds (Lk. 2:16-20) and Magi (Matt. 2:9-11) – Simeon (Lk. 2:25-35) and Annas (Lk. 2:36-38) Rejection: Matt. 2:1-3
Jesus' Birth Sets The Tone for the Gospel
Immanuel: God is With Us A Tax-collector's dream come true: he's called to follow the Messiah. Matt. 9:9 Matthew witnesses God's lowly humanity through the life of Jesus. Matt. 1 (v. 23) This affected how he portrayed Jesus as revealed through his gospel.
God's humble entry into this world as a helpless peasant babe.
The Good News of Matthew 1:1-17 Jesus: the son of man. By way of unlikely women: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba – All Gentiles, a prostitute, an adulterous – Mary's questionable pregnancy (in the eyes of man) Matthew's humanity of Christ's lineage gives 'good news rapport' with the 'people of the land'
Matthew: Hope for the Common Man Hope for women. Hope for the foreigner: Hittite; Moabite. Hope for the poor: (Mary: peasant girl) Hope for the worst of sinners (as noted) Hope for a tax-collector! Micah 5:2; Matt. 1:5f
We Still Need God With Us Today The birth of Christ – as recorded in Matthew's gospel – brings hope to the hopeless. This God/man came to be with sinful man and went to the cross for sinful man.
Biblically indeed, the lowly birth of Christ causes us to remember, if not celebrate, God's entry into this world of sinful man.

Equities slump guts investment bank revenues: study
By Sarah White
LONDON (Reuters) - Tumbling revenue from stock trading dragged down global investment banks' earnings below year-ago levels in the first six months of 2012, a report showed on Thursday, underlining how equities divisions are likely destined for big cutbacks.
A big fall in dealmaking also hurt revenues, which dropped more than 7 percent to $86 billion across the world's top 10 investment banks even as profit engines such as bond trading recovered, according to a study by analytics group Coalition.
Cash equities was a particularly weak spot in the first half, as lower trading volumes and the rise of electronic trading bit into revenues, which fell roughly 30 percent from year-ago levels.
The poor performance of equities units so far this year has made them among the most vulnerable areas for cutbacks, as banks prepare to slash more jobs in September and October to control costs ahead of the year end.
"Cash equities in particular is a lot more expensive to be in than five years ago," one senior equities banker at a European bank said. "Technology and IT costs are higher, as are compliance costs. It is a loss-making business for many."
Revenues overall in equities divisions, including business lines such as derivatives, dropped 16 percent to $18 billion.
The only area that did well in equities was prime services, typically the units which serve hedge funds, the report said.

2016 Latin American Speakers Series: Four Moments in Latin(o) American Art by Rocio Aranda-Alvarado
Thursday, February 18, 2016 7pm
Sur Gallery 39 Queens Quay East, suite 100
$10 Admission | $5 LACAP Members (pay at the door)
ROCIO ARANDA-ALVARADO is Curator at El Museo del Barrio where she has been organizing exhibitions since 2010. She is working on A Brief History of (Some) Things, an exhibition about the persistence of Mesoamerican imagery in contemporary art. She recently organized PRESENTE!~ The Young Lords in New York, and MUSEUM STARTER KIT: Open With Care, celebrating the 45th anniversary of El Museo, as well as some versions of LA BIENAL, El Museo's biennial for emerging artists. Her curatorial work and research focuses on modern and contemporary art of the Americas. Ms. Aranda-Alvarado is also on the adjunct faculty in the Art History Department at the City College of New York. She has been invited to speak at the Smithsonian Institution, the Whitney Museum, the Americas Society, the National Association for Latino Arts and Culture and has taught art history at local universities. Her writing has appeared in various publications including catalogue essays for the Museum of Modern Art and El Museo del Barrio, Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art, Art Nexus, Review, the journal of the Americas Society, NYFA Quarterly, Small Axe, BOMB and American Art. Born in Santiago, Chile, Aranda-Alvarado received degrees in Art History from the University of Maryland, Tulane University and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Aranda-Alvarado is one of five guest curators of SITE Santa Fe's for SITElines: New Perspectives on Art of the Americas launching in July 2016.
Seeking to expand definitions of both American and Latin American art, this presentation explores four different historic moments through the work of living artists. The history of interest in Latin American in New York art dates to the late 1930s, where some of the earliest exhibitions of "Latin American Art" were displayed. 30 years later, El Museo del Barrio became the country's first museum dedicated to the study and display of Latin American Art. Focusing on the work of living artists and traditions, El Museo from the beginning sought to create a space for artists who were excluded from other New York institutions. Through the work of four artists representing a variety of concerns, we can explore the contribution of Latino American artists to the contemporary history of American Art.
