Tampa, FL at DistribuTECH -- The ZigBee Alliance, a global ecosystem of companies creating wireless solutions for use in energy management, commercial and consumer applications, announced it has completed development of its ZigBee Smart Energy public application profile. ZigBee Smart Energy offers utility companies a global open standard for implementing secure, easy-to-use wireless home area networks for managing energy. The profile also offers product manufacturers access to a burgeoning green marketplace by establishing a standards-based technology for new products designed to enhance energy management and efficiency by consumers everywhere.
ZigBee Smart Energy enables wireless communication between utility companies and common household devices such as smart thermostats and appliances. It improves energy efficiency by allowing consumers to choose interoperable products from different manufacturers giving them the means to manage their energy consumption more precisely using automation and near real-time information. It also helps utility companies implement new advanced metering and demand response programs to drive greater energy management and efficiency, while responding to changing government requirements.
ZigBee Smart Energy offers innovative electric, gas and water utilities support for advanced metering, demand response, load control, pricing, and customer messaging programs. It provides communication and control for devices such as in-home displays, programmable communicating thermostats, water heaters, lighting, smart appliances, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, plus energy service portals and energy management systems. Here is a more detailed list of features (PDF).
With the global energy crisis, many countries are facing energy supply and demand imbalances that will require alternative energy management and efficiency solutions like ZigBee Smart Energy. For example, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reported that electricity demand in the United States is expected to increase by 135,000 megawatts in the next decade yet only 77,000 megawatts of new resources have been identified, creating a shortfall of 58,000 megawatts—an amount equivalent to 110 large power plants. Energy management and efficiency solutions can bridge the gap. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory released the results of a year-long study two weeks ago showing that households with digital tools controlling temperature and price preferences saved on average 10 percent on utility bills. The study also showed that if households have digital tools to control temperature and price preferences, peak loads on utility grids can be cut by up to 15 percent translating into $70 billion dollars saved over a 20 year period on new power plants and infrastructure expenditures.
"ZigBee Smart Energy was the result of a powerful collaboration between leading utility companies, product manufacturers, and technology suppliers, ensuring the latest features are built in to meet current market demands," said Bob Heile, chairman of the ZigBee Alliance. "ZigBee Smart Energy provides a critical piece to many energy management and efficiency programs underway today because it creates a global, open standard allowing energy consumers information and control over their energy use and helps utility companies expand relations with their customers while planning for a greener future."
A number of Alliance members are currently building products that will be certified by the Alliance to support ZigBee Smart Energy. These companies include: Cellnet+Hunt, Ember, Freescale Semiconductor, Itron, Tendril and Texas Instruments, who are ZigBee Alliance Promoter member companies and members of the Board of Directors which is responsible for setting the Alliance's direction in the energy sector. Some of the other members building ZigBee Smart Energy products include: Alektrona, Computime, Comverge, Control4, Corporate Systems Engineering, Daintree Networks, Digi International, Elster, Energate, Frontline Test Equipment, Golden Power, Greenbox Technology, LS Research, PRI Limited, Radio Thermostat Company of America, Riga Development, Trilliant Networks and Wireless Glue Networks.
ZigBee: Wireless Control That Simply Works
The ZigBee Alliance is an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost effective, low-power, wirelessly networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard. The ZigBee Alliance membership comprises technology providers and manufacturers worldwide. Membership is open to all.

Colour grading and colour correction are probably things you'll
end up tackling yourself if making a video. Getting your processing right can make or break your project, so lets look at how you can achieve the look you want.
A Quick Rundown on Colour Correction and Grading
they often get mentioned together and even grouped together, colour correction
and colour grading are different parts of the video-making process.
- With colour correction,
your aim is to get your footage as clean and clear as possible, correcting any
over or under-saturation, contrast, exposure and other basic adjustments.
- Colour grading is all about how you want your film to look;
its aesthetic. A creative process, your
colour grading adjustments will help you to convey the mood or story.
Color grading comes second, and it rests on the foundation of clean correction. This
might be through a strong, cinematic effect, dramatic black and white film noir
style, or even something a little more subtle that just gives your footage a
different edge.
How to Colour Grade Your Film
Colour grading can help you to create continuity in your videos. Here's a lesson from our the Envato Tuts+ course Video Editing in Final Cut Pro:
Pre-made Style Presets and Look-Up Tables
While you can make colour corrections and work on colour
grading right in your editing software, you might find it easier of more
effective to combine this with some pre-made look up tables or add-ons.
Using add-ons or LUTs for existing video suites isn't only a
time-saving exercise, or for those who aren't confident with how to get their
desired look in the software. They're actually a great source of inspiration – you
can type in key words associated with your desired look, and come up with a LUT
that suits that particular mood. Or you can find a pack and move through a
variety of looks until you hit on something you think will work.
Look-Up Tables (LUT) For Final Cut Pro X
Pre-made helpers for Final Cut can be hard to find at times but there are some good assets out there. Here's a
great pack from Envato
1. Cinematic
Looks and Color Correction Pack
There are 500 cinematic looks in this pack, so you can try
mixing and matching until you get the look you'd like. The project is well organised
and you don't need any plugins to use it. The looks and corrects are divided
into thirteen categories to make it easier to find what you're looking for, so
in just a few clicks you can transform your footage.
Style Presets for Apple Motion
If you're looking for some more colour helpers for your film, then here are some packs made for Apple Motion from Envato Market.
2. 50 Great Filters
With 50 filters sorted into 5 categories, this download is great for short films or editing footage for presentations.
3. Color Correction Pack For Apple Motion
Just drag and drop one of these 15 colour presets for fast transformations for any project. Help notes and a video are included when you download the pack.

Ok... I FINALLY have a computer... I was 100% without a computer for close to 3 weeks and finally picked up my new computer from the place that transferred our old documents, pictures, videos, etc... from our old computer to our new computer last Thursday. I may have to give my computer up again, however, because I am still not able to find all of the pictures I had on my old computer when I go to look for them on the new computer. This caused a near heart-attack a couple of weeks ago when I picked up the new computer and was told that everything was transferred from our old hard drive to the new computer. I didn't have time until 2 days after picking it up to turn on the new computer and look around, and the first folder I looked in was July 2009 and pictures from anne's 3rd birthday were missing, pictures of Whitney turning 11 months old, and other pictures that I KNEW I had taken and transferred from my camera. After meeting with the place and taking my computer back in they continued to work on it and I still cannot find everything (but most pictures are here, so I can at least sleep at night) :)
My mom is continuing cardiac rehab therapy and after appointments in Indianapolis within the last couple of weeks with her cardiologist, lung specialist and liver specialist she was told she did not have to go back for 6 more months to see the lung and heart drs and if her liver numbers continue to improve and all are within normal range, she can be dismissed from the liver specialist, YEAH!!!
Anne and Whitney are both doing very well!!! Whitney will be one this coming Tuesday, August 25th!! I can't believe it! It does not feel like it was an entire year ago that we were rear-ended by a semi-truck in a construction zone (luckily he was attempting to stop, but just didn't stop in time and ran into us) and Whitney decided that the big "bump" she felt from the accident would kick her into gear to hurry up and come into the world about 3 weeks ahead of her nice, calm, scheduled c-section. I had been having contractions prior to getting hit, but after we were rear-ended they definitely kicked into a higher gear and ended with Mike driving us to the hospital the next night going nearly 70 miles per hour down Main St. in Carmel to get to the hospital so that Whitney would not be born in the car!!! I arrived fully dilated and plus one but still insisted on a c-section (thanks to prior experience with Anne). Luckily, they were able to get me to surgery quickly and our little Whitney was born. Little did we know that the whirlwind of the accident with the semi-truck and movie-like arrival to the hospital was only the start... we have been on quite a ride ever since! We cannot imagine our lives without Whitney and are so happy and thankful to have her in our lives, especially after the way she had to fight to survive for the first 3-4 months of her life!!!
We are also very thankful to have such a caring, sweet big sister for Whitney. Anne definitely has her toddler moments with Whitney (like prying Whitney's eyes open when she was just about a week old and saying "Wake up!"... I guess it would make sense to a 2-year old that if you just open the babies eyes for her, she will wake up and be ready to play...) but overall she has been great with all of the adjustments that have been made to her life with the arrival of her baby sister. She is so good about therapists coming to our house, going to doctor appointments, visiting her sister when she has been in the hospital, etc...
It is so cute, when Whitney cries or gets upset (which really doesn't seem to happen very often), Anne will go up to her and softly say, "It's okay sweetie".
Anyway - just some thoughts as Whitney's birthday approaches in just 5 days.

The Rumors of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Review of The Death of Psychotherapy: From Freud to Alien Abductions by Donald A. Eisner
Donald A. Eisner's The Death of Psychotherapy (2000) is an ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful review and critical analysis of the threats posed by pseudoscientific treatment methods in clinical psychology, psychiatry, and other mental health disciplines. The author, a licensed psychologist and attorney, takes aim not only at the burgeoning industry of New Age and fringe psychotherapies, but also at the widespread claims of efficacy emanating from the field of mainstream psychotherapy. The end result is an occasionally enlightening and engaging, but often less than rigorously reasoned, evaluation of the contemporary state of psychotherapy.
On the positive side, Eisner's book covers a good deal of useful ground and should serve as a helpful starting point for individuals who are undertaking investigations of largely untested psychotherapies. Perhaps the book's greatest strength is its wide-ranging historical perspective. Eisner takes readers on a guided tour from Freud and the early days of psychoanalysis through such contemporary therapeutic approaches as recovered memory therapy, Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). In the process, he helps to elucidate some of the theoretical underpinnings of today's unsubstantiated psychotherapies.
These positive features, however, are overshadowed by the book's numerous shortcomings. First and perhaps most important, Eisner paints his critical palette with too broad a brush. In particular, Eisner does not provide readers with sufficient research-based information to distinguish scientifically appropriate from inappropriate therapeutic practices, leading to a blurring among many or most forms of psychotherapy. In the final and perhaps weakest chapter of the book, Eisner calls into question the efficacy of psychotherapy in general: "The ultimate conclusion is that there are no empirically supportable therapies" and that "as a scientific enterprise, psychotherapy should be declared dead" (p. 23).
But in drawing these conclusions, Eisner gives extremely short shrift to the numerous meta-analyses (quantitative literature reviews) demonstrating that some psychological treatments-particularly behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies-are clearly efficacious for certain psychological problems (moreover, for reasons that are unclear, Eisner twice refers to "so-called meta-analyses"). The only meta-analyses to which Eisner explicitly refers are those of Smith and Glass (1977) and Prioleau, Murdock, and Brody (1983). The former, which was the first published meta-analysis, was also the first major review to unambiguously document the overall efficacy of psychotherapy. The latter was a small and now outdated review whose largely negative findings and conclusions have since been superceded by numerous and more comprehensive meta-analyses.
Eisner also does not review the growing literature demonstrating the superiority of behavioral and cognitive-behavioral treatments relative to other treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and related conditions (see Chambless & Ollendick, 2001). Nor does he review the growing controlled evidence suggesting that interpersonal therapy is efficacious for certain severe disorders, including major depression and bulimia nervosa. As a consequence, Eisner ends up throwing out the empirically supported baby with the empirically unsupported bathwater. Eisner's critiques of many empirically unsubstantiated treatments, including primal scream therapy, neurolinguistic programming, rage reduction therapy, palm therapy, Buddha psychotherapy, angel therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, and Silva method, are cogent and well taken. Nevertheless, these otherwise trenchant critiques lose much of their force in light of Eisner's attacks on treatments that possess considerably more persuasive evidentiary support.
Second, much of the book is substantially out-of-date. The most recent article Eisner cites on the efficacy of EMDR is a 1995 investigation by Wilson and colleagues, despite the fact that a large body of outcome literature on EMDR has emerged in the intervening years that greatly amplifies and adds to Eisner's preliminary conclusions. This newer literature compellingly demonstrates that although EMDR is more efficacious than no treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder, it is no more efficacious for this condition than are standard behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies. In addition, there is persuasive evidence that eye movements and other forms of lateral stimulation are irrelevant to EMDR's therapeutic effects (see Lohr, Tolin, & Lilienfeld, 1998, for a review). The chapter on recovered memory therapies is among the strongest in the book, but it features scant coverage of recent laboratory work on the reconstructive nature of memory. For example, the pioneering work of Elizabeth Loftus and Steve Ceci on the laboratory induction of false memories in adults and children receives only brief mention. Not even discussed is the research of Ira Hyman demonstrating that false memories of quite bizarre events (e.g., spilling a punch bowl over the bride at a wedding reception) can be readily implanted into nonclinical participants, or the work of Ulric Neisser demonstrating that even confidently held "flashbulb" memories of highly disturbing events (e.g., the 1986 explosion of the space shuttle Challenger) can be strikingly inaccurate.
Third, Eisner overemphasizes placebo effects as common factors that account for the reported efficacy of many psychotherapies to the exclusion of other nonspecific explanations for client improvement, such as regression to the mean, spontaneous remission, demand characteristics, and maturation (see Cook & Campbell, 1979). These omissions lead Eisner to accord too large a causal role to client expectations in psychotherapy, although there is little question that such expectations often play an important role in improvement. A response following a placebo is not the same as a response to a placebo, as the former is attributable to a variety of nonspecific influences, only one of which is a placebo effect. This error is commonly made when discussing the high "placebo response rates" of certain conditions (e.g., major depression, panic disorder) to inert substances. These "placebo response rates" are in actuality the improvement rates following administration of these substances, not the improvement rates directly due to these substances.
Fourth, several of the chapters are imbalanced in coverage. The chapter on behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies is particularly problematic in this regard. Flooding and systematic desensitization receive only about as much coverage in this chapter as EMDR. Readers largely unfamiliar with this literature may erroneously conclude that EMDR occupies just as important a place on the clinical landscape as do well-validated behavioral treatments, which is clearly not the case. Compounding the problem, Eisner confuses flooding therapy with implosion therapy, which, in contrast to flooding, is grounded largely in psychodynamic assumptions.
Fifth, although the book covers a great deal of ground, there are a few notable omissions. In particular, Eisner does not discuss the growing problem of unsubstantiated and in some cases discredited treatments for childhood disorders. For example, such treatments as such as facilitated communication and sensorimotor integration for autistic disorder and neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder receive no coverage. Another important omission is the continued spread of Twelve-Step programs for alcoholism and other addictive problems (e.g., gambling, obesity), whose extraordinary popularity substantially outstrips the relatively modest and often equivocal evidence for their efficacy. Alcoholics Anonymous, for example, receives only one brief mention (p. 16) and no critical evaluation.
Sixth and finally, much of the book is awkwardly written and poorly copyedited. As a consequence, readers are forced to wade through many unwieldly and even ungrammatical sentences. For example, early on in the book Eisner posits that "[t]he critical question is whether a factual basis exists for the alleged active ingredients in psychotherapy as well as the purported positive results that are superior to no treatment or just giving advice in a supportive environment" (p. 18). In the concluding chapter, Eisner writes that "[i]n general, looking at psychoanalysis, as pointed out in Chapter 2 that there is a virtually nonexistent scientific basis for the theoretical rationale and any significant scientific outcomes" (p. 218). Many other sentences are not significantly better, rendering large sections of The Death of Psychotherapy a laborious reading experience.
In summary, Eisner's book may offer a useful road map for readers seeking to obtain a bird's-eye view of the scientist-practitioner gap and the serious quality control problems afflicting the present-day field of psychotherapy. Nevertheless, readers hoping for an up-to-date and balanced analysis that carefully distinguishes scientifically supported from unsupported claims regarding psychotherapeutic efficacy are likely to come away disappointed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Former Marion County Prosecutor Scott Newman was fired by Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill the day before Thanksgiving because he refused to sign off on a proposed contract that would have used public money to pay for an attorney to defend Hill against potential federal civil rights violations filed by four women, a source with knowledge of the contracting process told FOX59's Russ McQuaid.
Hill's office confirms Newman was terminated; and while disputing Newsman's claim as to why he was fired - it refused to elaborate by saying, "it is not appropriate for our office to discuss personnel matters."
According to documents uncovered by FOX59, Hill's office drew up a $100,000 contract with local attorney Kevin Betz of the law firm Betz & Blevins - and it appears Hill intended to ask Gov. Eric Holcomb to sign it. An attached fee schedule to that proposed contract said Betz would bill the state at a rate of $550 an hour for his defense of Hill.
The source said that Newman, the Chief Counsel for the Advisory Division, determined that while the contract proposal to the governor was legal, he felt it was unethical to expect state taxpayers to pay Hill's legal bills and potentially commit the state to paying any settlements if it is determined that Hill's actions were taken in the course of his job as Attorney General.
However, in a statement to FOX59, Hill contends that Newman "never raised any objections to the Betz & Blevins contract, and in fact, stated there were no problems with said contract."
As for Gov. Holcomb, when asked recently about whether he would object to Hill's legal fees being paid for with taxpayer dollars, he told FOX59: "Contracts that he signs, like any other contracts, will be his decision. Again, that's got nothing to do with my authority or my review even, he'll have to make decisions on his own case."
Three statehouse staffers and a lawmaker from Northwest Indiana claim Hill touched them inappropriately at a party for lawmakers, staffers and elected officials that was hosted in a bar by lobbyists - hours after the General Assembly adjourned for the session last spring. Despite the adjournment, those familiar with the social event say it is conceivable that taxpayer business could have been a topic of discussion - which might serve as the legal basis for a contention that any alleged wrongdoing by Hill occurred while he was acting within his official capacity as a state office holder.
A Special Prosecutor refused to press any criminal charges against Hill over the groping accusations.
Statehouse staffers Niki Da Silva, Samantha Lozano, Gabrielle McLemore and State Rep. Mara Candeleria Reardon have filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and their attorney told FOX59 they may file a federal lawsuit in April.
In its statement to FOX59, Hill's office noted, "There is no legal action pending against Curtis Hill. The only filings, at this time, have been EEOC charges filed against the State of Indiana. The EEOC does not take actions filed against individuals."
That statement went on to read, "The State of Indiana is represented by Attorney General Curtis Hill, and in that capacity he has selected the law firm of Betz & Blevins as outside counsel to represent the State of Indiana in these matters. Betz & Blevins has agreed to represent the State of Indiana on a pro-bono basis."
Kevin Betz confirmed to FOX59 that his firm will now represent the state without charge.
"My law firm is providing our legal services on a pro-bono basis, working free of charge on this case," he said in statement.
In that same statement, Betz emphasized that "there is no $100,000 contract between the State of Indiana and my law firm. There is also no payment of $550.00 an hour to Kevin Betz."
However in an email exchange with FOX59, Betz did acknowledge that such a contract proposal was drawn up but added: "I declined it and agreed to do so free of charge."
It should be noted that in addition to being an employment attorney, Betz is also a top political supporter of Hill.

In the previous issue I mentioned that Soca lovers are expecting real time information about Trinidad Carnival every time they open the Montreal Community Contact newspaper, that's why I make sure that the Island Scoop article becomes the one-stop shop for Soca news during Trinidad and every other Carnival around the world.
That being said, we are in the month of February, known as Black History Month, which provides an opportunity to share and learn about the experiences, contributions and achievements of people of African ancestry.
It was initiated in Canada by the Ontario Black History Society, which was founded in 1978. But whenever history is in the making, it provokes special feelings.
That's the way I'm feeling as witnessing the accomplishments of Soca artists Showtime, Bunji Garlin and Machel Montano for this the 2017 Carnival season.
In my last issue I mentioned Michael S'obrien (Showtime) is entering the 2017 Chutney Soca Monarch competitions. The artist real name is Michael Ramroop (who also uses the moniker Michael S'obrien on Facebook) was born in Montreal, Quebec.
He was been in the music business for over 15 years, performing with his dad and brothers before forming his band, TnT Express, about 10 years ago. Following which he joined Dil E Nadan, a very popular party band in Trinidad and Tobago, which was formed by his cousins.
He released his first hit "Heavy Drinkah" in 2015.
This year Michael entered the Chutney Soca Monarch competition with his hit "Mr. Popular", beating the odds and making history by becoming the first Canadian to be among the 10 finalists on February 11th at Skinner Park in south Trinidad.
Again, I would like to thank and congratulate Showtime for making Montreal proud and wish him good luck in the finals.
More historic moments for this carnival season happened when the biggest rivalry in soca music came to an end as the two biggest stars Machel Montano and Bunji Garlin came together to release a tune that could very well dominate the 2017 Carnival airwaves and rule the Soca scene for years. Bunji and Machel have their different styles and appeal to Soca lovers near and far in very different ways. They never collaborated musically.
For years, people always talked about and wanted them to get together, but the possibility of it coming to pass always seemed slim, maybe because of what's long been perceived as an unspoken rivalry.
In a time when the country is faced with the highest murder rate in history, this form of unity was needed.
Machel and Bunji coming together to sing an anti-crime single titled "BUSS HEAD" more than meet the expectations of all.
Island Facts:
– Feb 7th, 1986, Haitian President-for-life Jean-Claude Duvalier flees to France; Henri Namphy becomes leader of Haiti.
– Feb. 10th, 1989, Tony Robinson of Jamaica becomes Nottingham's first Black sheriff.

Midland Police ask for help to solve an attempted robbery
Midland Police are asking anyone who has information about an early morning attempted armed robbery to contact detectives.
The incident was reported at 1:01 a.m. Saturday by the victim, a 38-year-old Midland man. A media release states he told officers he had walked to an ATM at South Saginaw Road and Rodd Street when he was approached by four men.
The men used a blunt object to assault the victim, and demanded money. The suspects ran away before officers reached the scene.
The suspects are described as two black men - one of which stood 6 feet tall and wore a flat bill baseball cap, a blue tank top and jean shorts - and two white men.
Officers are investigating.
Anyone with information is asked to call the detectives at (9889) 631-4244 or the shift supervisor's office at (989) 839-4713. Tipsters wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-422-JAIL (5245).

Spelling last word
thetasig posted a topic in Pre 1.8 Publisher Bugs found on MacOSThere is one unusual thing about "Spelling Options". I encountered one word that was misspelled and clicked "Learn" and the red line underneath disappeared. I exited the "Spelling Options" and again invoked Spelling Options - it jumps to that same word but the word is now NOT underscored. The word is in the Mac English spelling database "en" . The same thing happens after closing the document and quitting AFPUB, then reopening the same document - jumps to that same (not underscored) word. In fact, if you happen to delete the misspelled word (I added a test word "asdfg"), the Spelling Options again jumps to this non-existent word in the text frame where it was originally found (but not after closing and reopening the document). I would think AFPUB should not do any of that and just simply inform the user that there are no misspelled words to be found. If there are no misspelled words, the Spelling Options dialogue just sits there quietly doing nothing. Not very informative.

Efforts to explore the landscape of small RNAs (sRNAs) — short RNA molecules that are poorly understood — often use high-throughput sequencing (sRNA-seq). These efforts are hampered by a lack of tools to identify, quantify and analyze all the different sRNAs in sRNA-seq datasets.
Kasey Vickers, PhD, and colleagues have now developed a new analytical method called TIGER (Tools for Integrative Genome analysis of Extracellular sRNAs). To demonstrate the power of this tool, they performed sRNA-seq on mouse lipoproteins, bile, urine and livers. In the resulting datasets, TIGER was able to identify approximately 60 percent of sRNAs on lipoproteins and more than 85 percent of sRNAs in bile, urine and liver.
The researchers found that the majority of sRNAs on lipoproteins are non-host sRNAs derived from bacterial sources in the microbiome and environment.

Mother Nature doesn't always play nice. Extreme weather and technical problems challenge all outdoor electronic devices, including LED billboards. Yet, out-of-home operators expect the utmost reliability from their equipment.
They're a lot of products on the market. How do you choose a really dependable digital billboard?
Ask these 5 questions before you buy, because you know downtime isn't an option:
1. What protects the modules from the environment?
Complete encapsulation with full-silicone-based sealant front and back protects quality LED modules designed to last.
Learn more about component protection and IP ratings at "Complete Defense."
2. What protects the power supplies from the environment?
Power supplies can be the number one cause of outage. But proper weatherproofing can protect the power supplies form airborne corrosives. Reputable manufacturers protect their power supplies with silicone potting and a rugged plastic enclosure.
Read more details. Scroll down to "Protected from Mother Nature."
3. Does the display come with diagnostics?
Diagnostic equipment organizes and interprets data. With this information, a diagnostic management system identifies malfunctions, errors, and other issues. This helps off-site technicians prevent an outage before it happens.
Discover more about remote diagnostics.
4. Do your billboards have a data redundancy feature?
A dual signal paths design often prevents visual outages, even in the event of a signal failure. If one signal is lost or malfunctions, all the modules in that data path will continue to function, and the audience continues to read the advertisement.
View these signal redundancy graphics.
5. What data do you use to improve your billboard design?
Problems that billboards have in the field help engineers to improve the next generation of products. But some suppliers also use data from in-house labs, where they test products to the limit. This information helps engineers modify design early in the product's development.
Take a look at "Tested to the Max."
* BONUS TIP #6 Does the billboard come with a wireless remote power controller?
Daktronics billboards come equipped with the SmartLink™ wireless controller to monitor and control it. With this controller, owners avoid unnecessary service calls.
Learn more about the SmartLink controller. Scroll down to "Ultimate Control with SmartLink™"

2021–22 Fellowship Competition
Unfortunately the effects and ramifications of Covid-19 meant that most of the winners of the 2020–21 Fellowship competition were unable to take up their Fellowship offers for the current Academic Year. As they will now be taking up their Fellowships in the coming Academic Year (2021–22) the Academy will be full. We therefore regret to announce that there will be no competition for places in 2021–22.
David Freedberg
Call for Applications: Fellowships 2020–2021
For reference only.
The Italian Academy invites applications for projects in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Additional consideration is given to proposals relevant to the Academy's ongoing initiatives, especially the International Observatory for Cultural Heritage and the Humanities and Neuroscience Project.
The Academy also offers four Weinberg Fellowships on architectural history and preservation; one Bodini Fellowship on transitions from globalism to nationalism and populism; one Bodini Fellowship on developmental and adolescent psychiatry; and one Burke Fellowship on common challenges faced by Italy and Japan in the conservation and preservation of cultural heritage.
The Academy welcomes candidates from all countries, at the post-doctoral or faculty level. Fellows receive a stipend, travel allowance, health benefits, and an office in the Academy on the Columbia campus.
Guidelines for applicants
1) Prepare all material for your application (sample here).
2) Ask your referees to draft reference letters.
3) Fill out the application form (here).
4) Submit your application by December 2, 2019; a request with an upload link will then go to each referee.
(Referees do NOT get the upload link until after you have hit "Submit" on your own application form at Submittable.com.)
5) Read the confirmation e-mail sent to you.
6) Track the delivery of your reference letters: log in here, and if any letter is marked "Pending," you can double-check the referee's e-mail address and then click on "Resend Request."
(If your referee didn't get the upload link via e-mail, s/he could [1] check spam/junk folders, [2] list "submittable.com" as an Approved/Safe Sender, or [3] send the letter directly to the Academy: email@example.com from her/his institutional account.)
7) Await decisions in spring 2020.
In most years, the Italian Academy offers these residential research opportunities
- The Weinberg Fellowships on architectural history and preservation, designed in conjunction with the Academy's International Observatory for Cultural Heritage
- The Bodini Fellowship on transitions from globalism to nationalism and populism
- The Bodini Fellowship on developmental and adolescent psychiatry
- The Burke Fellowship on common challenges faced by Italy and Japan in the conservation and preservation of cultural heritage
- The Humanities & Neuroscience Fellowships
- The Premio New York program designed for young Italian artists (with an application cycle in the summer)
- The Compagnia di San Paolo Professorship held by a distinguished visiting scholar from Italy in the fields of History of Art, Musicology, and Italian Studies
- The Fellowship clusters working on a single theme for one year: in 2015–2016, "Emotion, embodiment and the history of art and music: aesthetics, history and anthropology" and in 2016–2017, "The conservation and preservation of heritage and the contemporary destruction of art and architecture."
Frequently asked questions
What are the residency periods?
Fellows spend four months: either the Fall term (September-December) or the Spring term (January-April). Some scholars are invited to spend the full academic year (September to April).
I am a scientist; will I collaborate with Columbia laboratories &/or scientists?
A candidate in the sciences should contact a laboratory director at Columbia, to gauge his/her interest, before applying to the Academy. Such candidates should note (in the application proposal) that they have a pledged collaboration.
What is the word limit for the proposal?
The Project Proposal should not exceed 1300 words (excluding references).
What if I'm just getting my Ph.D. degree?
The degree must be awarded before August for Fall term Fellows, and before December for Spring Fellows.
What are the stipend and benefits?
We offer A) a gross salary ranging from $4,500 up to $7,500/month (you may pay tax on this; you must consult your accountant for advice); B) a travel allowance to cover the airfare to & from New York; C) a portion of health-insurance costs.
Do you give us housing, or pay our rent?
No, but we assist our fellows in applying for Columbia Housing. (Note that the University does not guarantee spaces for every Fellow.)
Do you accept projects and CVs in Italian?
No; English is required.
Do you accept reference letters in Italian?
Yes, reference letters may be in English or in Italian.
Do you accept reference letters via Interfolio.com, or from me directly?
Letters must come to us directly from the referees, via the link from the Submittable.com application platform.
What is the deadline for reference letters?
The deadline is Wednesday, December 11, 2019.
How are candidates assessed?
The selection of Fellows will be based on the quality of the applications. These will be reviewed by a jury appointed by the Director and the Advisory Board of the Academy, which is composed of dozens of senior scholars in many fields at Columbia and other leading universities.
What qualifications must I have?
Normally Fellowships will be open to advanced scholars from the post-doctoral to the full professorial level. (Candidates should expect to have their doctorates in hand no later than the summer after they apply.)
How long do Fellows stay?
Fellows will be expected to be in residence for one or two academic semesters. At the Academy, Fellows find a place where they can work, interact amongst themselves and with members of the Columbia community, and generally remain free from outside obligations. For periods of either one or two academic semesters, the Academy provides office space and some support.
Would I be in the Academy building daily?
Fellows are expected to be in residence for the duration of their stay at the Academy, although connections with other institutions of higher learning will be encouraged. Absences for more than three days at a time should be requested from the Director. Fellows may not hold concurrent fellowships and are expected to dedicate their time to research while in residence. Any resulting publications should acknowledge the support of the Academy, as should any biographical notes published in connection with the Fellow's appearances while in residence.
Can I apply again after having been a Fellow before?
Former Fellows may re-apply no earlier than four years after the completion of their residencies.
I won a Fellowship but I wish to delay to another semester/year – may I?
Given the large number of eminently qualified candidates for the Italian Academy Fellowships every year, candidates selected in any one year will not be allowed to postpone their offer of a Fellowship to another year. If the Fellowship is not taken up in the term of the year in which it is offered it will be forfeited – although candidates who turned down an offer of a Fellowship in one year may of course apply for the Fellowship in another year. No guarantee of success, however, can be offered in such cases. Again, former Fellows may re-apply no earlier than four years after the completion of their residency.

I completed my Opium poppy fields painting in time to deliver last Monday to Launceston Country Club for the agriculture section of the Meandering Exhibition. I wonder if you can pick the changes from my first posting. If so I hope you feel they improve the work. On view and for sale at Launceston Country Club until end February.

Opium Poppy Fields, Tasmania
Before Deloraine Craft Fair I started this painting of the poppy crops near Deloraine with Quamby Bluff in the background as my entry in the Launceston Art Society Meandering exhibition 2012. I did not think I really had much left to do to finish it but have spent the last two days on it and there is still much to do to pull it together. Lunch and a cuppa then back to work. To deliver Monday… just as well acrylics dry quickly.
I do love poppies of any type and the pink to mauve to white carpet make this important and valuable agricultural crop a bonus in its aesthetic appeal. A real drawcard for artists, photographers (a breed of artists) and tourists. I have hundreds of poppy photos but will no doubt still feel compelled to take more this summer.

Representatives of Fatah and the Palestinian Authority have harshly criticized Hamas political bureau chief Khaled Mash'al for his latest speech,[1] claiming that his demands were not realistic, that he had neither money nor weapons, that his allies had abandoned him, and that in light of the destruction currently being wreaked in Gaza, his claim to victory was unacceptable. They alleged that Mash'al wanted to drag the residents of the West Bank into opening a new front, and that Hamas commanders had gone into hiding instead of leading the battle. They further claimed that Mash'al was ready to sacrifice people's lives in order to safeguard the opening of the crossings, to establish an Emirate in Gaza, and to uphold the anti-Palestinian Authority coup there.
Following are excerpts from some of the articles on this issue:
We Must Hope that Some in Gaza Are More Reasonable, Realistic, and Responsible
Ahmad 'Abd Al-Rahman, Fatah spokesman and advisor to PA President Mahmoud 'Abbas, called Mash'al's statements unrealistic: "Khaled Mash'al speaks as if Hamas' tanks surrounded Tel Aviv. It seems that he does not know Gaza and has never been there. He says that Israel has suffered a crushing defeat in Gaza, and does not seem to realize that Israel… has destroyed everything [there]."
Al-Rahman also expressed hope that some of those who are currently suffering under Israel's attacks in Gaza are reasonable people, who view the situation more realistically and whose position is more responsible than Mash'al's.[2]
West Bank Residents Cannot Answer Mash'al's Call to Open Another Front
'Adli Sadeq, PA Foreign Ministry senior official and columnist for the PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, criticized Hamas members for calling on West Bank residents to open a new front with Israel. He stated: "They assign no importance to the implications of such a war – if we can launch it at all. [True,] the West Bank residents can carry out popular resistance against the wall, against the checkposts, and against the aggression in Gaza. But since the second Intifada, which Fatah carried out to the fullest extent of its capabilities, and during which some of its people lost their lives and others were arrested, it has not been able to light a single fuse, [and if it does,] the fire burns us [all].
"Our friend Mash'al has been calling to start [a fire], but has failed to supply the medicine for the burns [that this will cause]; neither has he brought salvation or victory. This is an error in thinking, and whoever makes it will be punished for his actions."[3]
Gaza Residents Suffer While Hamas Commanders Hide in Tunnels
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida columnist 'Omar Hilmi Al-Ghul, who is also advisor to President 'Abbas, also criticized Mash'al. In response to Mash'al's call to Gaza residents to stand firm, he wrote: "[Mash'al] does not take into account the interests of the [Gaza] residents, who are being sacrificed, while the commanders, who have abandoned the fighting, hide in the tunnels they prepared in advance – although they should be courageously leading the fighters in battle."
Referring to Mash'al's statement that the resistance is still alive and that it has not been defeated, Al-Ghul wrote: "Where is the victory that Mash'al is speaking about, allegedly from the battlefield. Can [Israel's] renewed occupation of Gaza, its division, and the destruction of its infrastructure and its residents' homes [be considered victory]? Can the [fact that] thousands of Palestinians have been killed or wounded, as opposed to [only a few] dozen occupying Israeli soldiers [be considered victory]?..."The Hamas Elites Enjoin the Fighters to Sacrifice Themselves – For the Opening of the Rafah Crossing
Ghul went on to say: "Fortitude is a stance that has been imposed on our people. The residents of the Gaza districts have no choice but to stand firm and hold their heads high in the face of the indiscriminate and lethal Israeli destruction – because the leadership that was forced on them has been abusing the civilians and the Fatah fighters through the war…
"Hamas wants the Rafah crossing open, irrespective of the cost that this would entail in terms of Palestinian lives. It wants the Emirate [to be established] and to fly a green flag, at the cost of Palestinian blood – although it has made vague allusions that it is willing to talk to the Palestinian leadership."
Referring to Mash'al's calling all international forces that have been deployed in Gaza "occupying forces," Al-Ghul wrote: "Mash'al has forgotten that the [deployment] of international troops as an emergency [measure] spells the end of the Emirate and of the [Hamas's] coup against the PA's legitimacy. Mash'al has demanded that the Israeli aggression stop, that the siege be lifted, that the crossings be opened, and that the agreement on the [Rafah] crossing be amended, so that Hamas [can control it]; however, it has failed to explain to the international community how it is planning to put an immediate end to the Israeli aggression, or how it will ensure that the above-listed demands are fulfilled.
"Isn't it the balance of forces that will determine the outcome of the [current military] campaign? How does the [current] balance of forces enable [Hamas] to achieve its goals? Will Egypt accept Hamas's logic? Will the U.S., Israel, and Europe – [and in particular] France – accept Hamas's position? Do Mash'al or his allies, who have sold him out… have a secret weapon that they can use to achieve these goals?"[4]
PA Broadcasting Authority director Basem Abu Sumaya wrote: "During the Israeli Gaza offensive, I have learned several new facts about Hamas and its leaders, who are dispersed throughout the Arab capitals, from Damascus to Doha… as well as about the local leaders, who disappeared, for security reasons, on the first day of the fighting, and who have since communicated with us only through recordings that they made while in hiding.
"Fact No. 1 – Hamas is a movement that is anchored in principle, and it will not retreat from its positions even if all the Palestinians lose their heads – which is what is happening now.
"Fact No. 2 – Hamas has adhered to the positions of its senior leadership, i.e. Majlis Al-Shura, whose composition… does not equally represent [Hamas members outside the P.A.], those in Gaza, and those in the West Bank.
"If the elites say to the fighters: 'You must die for the sake of a crossing, or even of a tunnel,' they will follow the order without delay… Whoever is in charge of the crossings has control over the pulpits and the people; [besides,] he is in a position to manage government affairs, tax collection, smuggling, and trade. The control of a [single] crossing renders thousands of tunnels unnecessary.
"Hamas does not care if a destructive war is waged against Gaza – such as the one that is going on today. For Hamas, realizing an historic vision for which it has been yearning over many years justifies a heavy toll – as long as what is gained is a land crossing that will enable Hamas members to [transport] the goods and money that they have been hiding. It sees a crossing as the only opening to the outside world, as an umbilical cord [connecting it with the world]…
"Khaled Mash'al's latest statement regarding Hamas's willingness to cooperate with the PA and the Europeans in controlling the [Rafah] crossing is nothing but a tactical device. The PA will very quickly find itself expelled from the crossing, and before long, the European monitors will flee as well, just as it happened during the coup."[5]
Iran and Hizbullah Will Not Come to Hamas's Aid
Palestinian Ambassador to Egypt Nabil 'Amer wrote: "Where will Mash'al get the money and weapons to overcome the Israeli army? Let it show us his partners, who are [supposed to be] standing by his side in this ordeal, after Iranian fighters were forbidden to leave their country and after all Lebanese elements hastened to shed all responsibility for the missiles fired at Israel from South Lebanon."[6]
[1] In the speech, Mash'al stated that Hamas would not agree to a long-term calm, since this would deprive the Palestinian people of the right to resist. He objected to the deployment of an international force in Gaza, on the grounds that it would serve to safeguard Israel's security and suppress the resistance. As for the Rafah crossing, Mash'al demanded that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud 'Abbas declare to the world that on this issue, he sought to reach an agreement with Hamas, with the help of Egypt and Europe. Mash'al added that Israel had failed to accomplish any of its goals in its Gaza offensive, and that it had provoked the resistance in every Gaza household. www.palestine-info.info, January 10, 2009.

Texas should fund all-day pre-K [Editorial]
Texas is graduating more students from high school than ever before, yet as Gov. Greg Abbott pointed out in his State of the State address this year, only about a third of those who took a college admission test are prepared for higher education.
"Here's the problem — only about 40 percent of third graders are reading at grade level by the time they finish the third grade," Abbott said.
Although it may seem odd to tie an 18-year-old's college readiness to a 9-year-old's reading proficiency, it's all part of an education continuum that begins much earlier, well before a child even reaches kindergarten.
Children's brains develop new neural connections at a rate of more than a million every second during the first years of life, experts say, building the foundation for learning and behavior that will last a lifetime. That is why quality child care is so important, especially for disadvantaged children who may not receive the kind of meaningful interactions with parents or caregivers necessary for optimal development.
While Texas has a long way to go in offering affordable quality child care for all, bills in the Legislature that extend prekindergarten programs from half day to full are a good step in improving outcomes for students. As the House and Senate debate their competing school funding measures, pre-K expansion must remain an integral part of their efforts.
To his credit, Abbott has urged the Legislature to support pre-K programs in the past, but the governor's enthusiasm was not met with substantial, stable funding from lawmakers. This time must be different. Texas must make a serious commitment to our young children, who are the future of our state.
Texas currently pays for half-day pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds who qualify, including those from low-income, military or non-English-speaking families. Students who don't qualify usually pay tuition to attend a pre-K program.
Based on return on investment alone, Texas should adequately fund all-day, high-quality preschool.
Critics cite the 2012 Head Start Impact study that found no significant lasting effect for Head Start students in elementary school through third grade. But quality varies, and experts note the key is enrollment in a high-quality program, a requirement already contemplated in the state education code. Overall, studies show that children who attend high-quality pre-K reap the benefits - along with their communities.
A 2016 report by Children at Risk, a Houston-based nonpartisan research organization, found that economically disadvantaged students who attended high-quality public pre-K scored higher on the third grade STAAR reading assessment than peers who did not attend public pre-K or who attended lower quality public pre-K. A longer-term study by the Texas Education Agency found a lower likelihood of dropping out, a higher likelihood of graduating high school on time and more college enrollment for students who went through pre-K.
Other studies have found that children who do well in pre-K have better health outcomes and are less likely to use social services or be involved in crime, said Rebecca Huss-Keeler, associate professor of early childhood education at University of Houston-Clear Lake and a member of the Texas Early Learning Council.
Such improvements don't come strictly from increased literacy and numeracy, but through the social-emotional learning that is also part of early childhood education.
"Children learn skills that they'll be able to use later on. Socialization skills, how to get along, follow directions, learn the content, being able to think," Huss-Keeler said. "A good teacher doesn't just teach academics; a good teacher teaches all these kinds of skills that lead to productive citizens."
Despite the current lack of state funding, more than 70 percent of Texas school districts offer full-day programs through a patchwork of local, state and federal money. Proposed legislation in the Texas House would give districts about $750 million a year as part of an early childhood allotment to be spent anywhere from pre-K through third grade. Though these funds are not required to be spent on preschool, districts that don't already provide full-day pre-K would be squandering a precious opportunity if they use the funds elsewhere.
The change comes with a price tag but the benefit of pre-K on children, especially on economically disadvantaged students, is clear. With more than 50 percent of Texas children under the age of 6 living in low-income families, the state can't afford not to invest fully in early childhood education.

The only thing I love more than teaching is learning."
I'm a learner, a teacher, a traveler, a wannabe chef, a great swing dancer in my own dreams, I'm curious and I'm asking questions.
My professional life is a huge part of my life and I'm realizing again and again that I can't separate it less and less from other interests of my life. The line became blurry which is fine for me because it is my passion.
After university I worked as a software trainer before I decided to go back into teaching in school. It was the right decision. 4 fantastic great years in Seoul/South Korea followed as a classroom teacher at the German School Seoul.
Being back in Germany since summer 2010 gave me the chance to get into PYP which is still an enrichment for my teaching. Working at an international school opened my eyes in various directions. I was working at the Berlin Metropolitan School (BMS) and at the Bavarian International School (BIS), in the German Department of the Primary School as a PYP (German language) teacher. It couldn't have been better and I'm very thankful to have great colleagues who definitely have been the reason for such a good time.
My professional journey and the excitement went on. From the beginning of August 2014 I was in the Primary School Library as a Library Media Specialist. Thanks to Coetail and the the amazing PLN I got the chance to head in that direction. This opportunity showed me how important the new literacies are (f.e. information literacy) and that we need to shift "The 4 C's of Learning" – Communication – Collaboration – Creativity – Critical Thinking – to a different level.
Since April 2015 I'm facing the wonderful challenge of being the mother of Clara (that's why it's quite quiet here on the blog). The other perspective of this story is that I do miss my professional exchanges and challenges and last but not least the students in school. But like often in my life before – there will be another chance sooner or later. I'm looking forward to it already.
And YES, the chance came up in August 2016 as Educational Technology Coach at GESS (German European School Singapore). I can't asked for more.

text: If you are a private business owner looking to provide additional compensation benefits to your employees, the new 83(i) is worth looking into. Created under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Section 83(i) is available for a small group of employees whose employers have adopted an 83(i) plan and if used correctly, can provide a significant tax benefit.Internal Revenue Code Section 83 states that if an employee is granted company stock in connection for services performed, the value of such stock shall be treated as ordinary income in the first taxable year in which the stock is considered transferable and not subject to a risk of forfeiture. In plan English, if an employer grants an employee stock options that only vest after the employee works for the company for the next 3 years…the employee isn't taxed on the value of the stock until he/she receives the stock in 3 years. The ordinary income the employee will pay tax on will be the value of the stock when the stock is actually received, not when granted.When the stock is received, the employee will have to pay to the employer his/her share of withholding taxes. You read that correctly, the employee will have to pay the employer since the value of the stock will be included on your W2, withholding for such income needs to be made. This can be troublesome for most taxpayers who do not have the funds to pay the taxes now.This is where Section 83(i) comes in. First, the employer needs to set up a written plan that follows all of the 83(i) rules: the company is private (stock isn't sold on a public securities exchange) and in the applicable calendar year at least 80% of US qualified employees will receive grants. To be a qualified employee, you must be: employed full time, are not the CEO or CFO, are not a 1% or more owner preceding the stock option, and are not one of the four highest compensated officers. If all of the above applies, and the stock will be received from an option exercise or a settlement/vesting of restricted stock that cannot immediately be sold back to the company, it may be wise to file an 83(i) election.If a timely 83(i) election is filed, the withholding/income taxes owed are deferred for up to 5 years. This is a significant amount of time for the employee to save for the taxes due.While an 83(i) election happens after the stock is vested, an 83(b) election occurs when the grant happens and is typically best used for start-ups with low valuations. For example, if an employee went to work for a promising start-up that was unable to pay a reasonable salary, the employer might offer to grant unvested, restricted stock that vests if the employee works for the company for 4 years. Since the company is a start-up, it might make sense to file an 83(b) election and pay the ordinary income tax when the grant was made as opposed to when the stock vests in 4 years (assuming the stock appreciates). If the value of the company is $1 per share now and might grow to be $100 per share in 4 years, paying the tax now seems like an easy answer. Lastly, 83(b) can be elected by any employee, CEO and CFO included.An 83(i) and 83(b) election must be filed within 30 days of the vesting or grant, respectfully. Also, you cannot make both elections. Once an 83(b) is made, an 83(i) election is no longer available.Both concepts are extremely technical and should be heavily analyzed with a team of advisors before an election is made.

The Truck Accident Settlement Process in Georgia
The truck accident settlement process is typically more complex than that of a general car accident claim because there are several additional complicated factors involved. The investigation is more in-depth, the claims often hinge on detailed federal trucking law violations, and negotiation is more challenging because you are going head-to-head against a commercial truck carrier and its attorneys.
In the overview below, we shed some light on the truck accident settlement procedure in Georgia and provide some words of advice.
If you have found this page because you or your loved one were recently involved a truck accident, we highly encourage you to speak to an attorney before moving forward with your claim. If you fail to take the proper steps or unwittingly leave out pertinent evidence, you can completely thwart your settlement. It is better to at least run your case by a lawyer first.
For a free one-on-one consult with a truck accident lawyer in Georgia, call Brauns Law, PC at 404-348-0889.
Step One: File a claim with the liable party.
The first step in the truck accident claims process is to file a claim with the liable party. In most instances, this will be the trucking company, but liability may lie with other parties, too, e.g., a truck part manufacturer or a cargo loading company. David Brauns can help you determine the correct liable party.
When you call the truck carrier's insurance company to report the accident and initiate the claims process, you should only provide basic information about the accident – the who, what, where, and when. You do not want to give your opinion on anything, and you do not want to discuss fault or the extent of your injuries. Insurance representatives have a way of using victims' statements to refute their claims or minimize their settlements. In fact, you should not agree to provide a recorded statement with any insurance adjusters at all until you have spoken with David.
Step Two: Preserve evidence and conduct investigations.
After you have filed your claim, the investigation begins. In order to win your claim, you will need to be able to prove that the other party was somehow negligent/at fault, and therefore liable for your damages.
Negligence comes in many forms, so the investigation process and evidence will vary by case. Perhaps the truck driver was speeding or fell asleep at the wheel. Information from the truck's black box or from a truck cab camera may help. On the other hand, perhaps the trucking company hired the driver even though he had a poor driving record or little training. In this case, his employment record may be what you need.
Oftentimes, truck companies are liable in truck accident claims because they were in violation of federal trucking laws. The key to a successful claim is solid, thorough investigation, and substantial proof of negligence. Examples of evidence that may support your claim include:
- Eyewitness reports
- The truck driver's log book, employment record, and toxicology report
- The truck's maintenance records
- The police report
- Photos and videos of the accident scene and vehicles
- Testimonies from expert witnesses
- Evidence of distracted driving (e.g., cell phone records, violating hours of service)
During the investigation process, your lawyer can help determine the cause of the accident, identify negligence, and then collect the evidence necessary to prove the claim to the insurer.
Early in the claims process, you will need to take steps to ensure the preservation of evidence you need to support your case. David can send a spoliation letter to the carrier to inform it that a legal claim is pending and that it must preserve certain evidence for that purpose. Without the spoliation letter, the truck companies can destroy crucial evidence or it can or "go missing."
Step Three: Negotiate a fair settlement.
Once the insurer has reviewed the case, it will either deny the claim or offer you a settlement. IMPORTANT: Do not accept the first settlement offer you receive. Insurers often begin with a low-end offer, preying on your financial and emotional strain to get you to settle early. You are more than likely entitled to much more than the initial offer.
David can negotiate with the adjuster, make sure the insurer takes the full extent of your injuries and expenses – both current and future – into account, and compensates you appropriately. Your settlement should include recompense for various damages, such as those for:
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses
- Lost wages and disability
- Renovating your home or car to accommodate your disability
- Disfigurement, scarring, etc.
- The effect of your injuries on your well-being, relationships, and career
- Emotional harms
- The cost of hiring help for tasks you can no longer manage
- Pain and suffering
If, after several rounds of negotiations, you cannot reach a fair settlement offer or the insurer refutes your claim entirely, you can take the case to civil court. The judge will hear your case, decide an appropriate outcome, and, if she decides in your favor, award you with a settlement.
While most truck accident claims settle prior to trial, the Brauns Law, PC team always prepares each claim as if it were set for litigation; David makes it his practice to always be meticulous and extensive with his research, arguments, and evidence. This way, he will be thoroughly prepared should your claim go to court.
How do I initiate the truck accident settlement procedure in Georgia?
Before taking any legal action, make sure you have discussed your case with a local attorney that specifically handles truck accident cases. Then, you will want to start compiling all pertinent information that may be useful as evidence to support your claim.
In addition to the evidence we have already discussed, you will also want to collect medical evidence, proof of lost wages, injury-related bills/receipts, and other items to justify your request for damages.
If you have not already, start keeping an injury journal. Document the progression of your injuries each day, including how you feel, your pain levels, how you respond to treatments, and how your injuries have hampered your activities. Share your journal with David to help him paint a clear picture of what you are going through for the insurer/court.
The Brauns Law, PC team is here to help. To discuss your truck accident claim and for help maximizing your settlement, contact Brauns Law, PC in Georgia today at 404-348-0889 and request a free case evaluation.

"Accidents will happen". We have all heard that statement before. Unfortunately, sometimes it is true. In spite of our best efforts, things occasionally do go wrong. While many accidents seem to happen for obvious reasons, there may be things that contribute to an accident which are not always apparent. That is why it is vital to conduct a thorough Accident Investigation.
General Safety Series training products on "Accident Investigation" show employees steps that are taken in an accident investigation, and highlight how important it is for employees to fully cooperate with any inquiry. They also point out that while an investigation's focus is to determine the cause of an accident, the overall goal is to prevent similar accidents from happening again. The topics covered in the products include:
Many General Safety Series can also be used with The Safety Game.. General Safety Series style, computer-based classroom training game that involves all your Employee in the training process. Each game consist of 20 to 25 question on important information from the game safety or regulatory compliance topic. For the ultimate training session. "show the video (or DVD) .. then play the Game." Games are available on 20 different topics.
