His father formally identified his body to Garda Peter Elliott at the specialist brain injury clinic at Beaumont Hospital.
The teen was pronounced dead at 3pm.
A post-mortem conducted by pathologist Dr Jane Cryan gave the cause of death as traumatic head injury due to a road traffic collision.

It’s been your dream to retire in Panama. You’ve done hours of research. You’ve watched all the videos on our Youtube channel, which helped you learn about the different areas. Hopefully, this helped you create a “short list” of places that would be a good fit for you.
You learned about others’ mistakes and some insider tips from the many articles we have published. And now you’re ready to take it to the next level to explore Panama yourself.
No amount of YouTube videos, Facebook Groups, or other online information will truly give you the experience of actually being in Panama until you see it up close and personal.
When you visit Panama, you’ll get to actually walk the streets of the city you’ve been learning about. Finally, you’ll get to taste the foods you’ve heard about. And see a few neighborhoods, hear the noises, and smell the air. But most importantly, you’ll get a chance to explore on your own and decide if Panama is right for YOU.
You need to do a scouting trip before your move. You have three choices of ways to explore Panama:
- You can explore Panama on your own with a self-guided tour
- You can take a Private Tour of the area(s) you’re most interested in.
- You can do an all-inclusive 7-night, 6-day Panama Relocation Tour
These are some things you should try to accomplish during your scouting trip.
Decide What Area(s) You’re Going to Visit
If you’re not going on a Panama Relocation Tour, which will take you to many different areas in Panama, you need to decide which areas you want to visit while you are planning your trip. Panama is a small country with both beach and mountain towns and of course, Panama City. You’ll need to decide how much time you will spend in each area and determine how you will get from point A to point B.
*Do you want to live near the beach, in the mountains, or in the city?
* Would you prefer to live where there are many other expats or few expats?
*What’s your budget? Is it a good match for the area you are interested in?
*Does the area have the social activities you like?
*If you have kids, are there international schools close by?
Come to Panama with a plan. Make a list of wants and needs, and narrow down the cities that match your needs and your budget. For example:
*If you’d like to be close to a hospital, where is the closest hospital?
*Does the local pharmacy have your medications?
*If you have children, is there a school nearby? What do the cost?
*Are rentals available in your budget?
*Does the grocery store have the items you prefer?
*Does the area have high-speed internet?
*Are there enough restaurants with the food you’d enjoy?
*Are the social activities you like available?
With research and a good plan, you can focus on the places in Panama that closely match your desires. And you can eliminate places that are not a good match.
The Complete Panama Relocation Guide has a complete section about all the different areas in Panama to help you do your research. It also has information about how to do a self-guided tour in each of the most popular places to live. And, it has a list of Private Tour Guides in each area.
How Are You Going To Get Around?
One of the most important things to consider when planning your trip is how you will get around.
Panama has excellent public transportation. When you land in Panama City, taxis are readily available to take you to your hotel or AirBnb. In Panama City, Uber or the Metro system (buses and subway), are the best way to get around.
If you’re planning to visit a few different cities throughout Panama, and don’t feel like driving, then the best option is taking one of Panama’s super comfortable buses. Traveling by coach bus in Panama is inexpensive, safe, and comfortable. Some buses even have a bathroom on the bus for longer treks.
You can take a bus from Panama City to anywhere in Panama. It’s affordable and comfortable, but warning, it’s usually cold on the bus. A bus from Panama City to David, in far western Panama, is less than $20. There is room to store luggage under the bus.
But what if you just want to have your own car?
Renting a car gives you the most flexibility to be able to explore! If you see a neighborhood you like, you can easily drive through it at different times of the day.
If you want to check out some places and don’t want to rely on a taxi to wait for you, then driving your own rental car would be the best option. It’s about $35-$50 a day to rent a car in Panama. That price includes insurance and taxes. You may see prices advertised much lower online, but the low price does not include insurance or taxes. Many car rental companies offer a discount for a weekly or monthly rental.
But a word of caution – renting a car in Panama isn’t the same as renting in the U.S. For starters, car insurance in Panama is mandatory and extremely penalized if you are in a car accident and are caught without it. Don’t rent a car in Panama without getting their insurance. Car rentals offer this as part of their contract- and don’t assume your credit card will cover any damages either. Get the car insurance.
Our COMPLETE Panama Relocation Guide has a full directory of vetted contacts we recommend working with, including car rental companies. Check it out here.
Line Up Some Rentals To See
Part of the scouting trip is getting a feel for the rental market. Especially if you have a specific budget in mind. So, I recommend lining up some rentals to visit while you’re in town. You’ll get a sense of certain neighborhoods, the building style in Panamanian homes, and the average cost of living.
A few options for this are to look on Craigslist Panama or Facebook Marketplace and set up some showings. Remember that some areas may not have any rentals in your budget. Depending on where you’re looking, some landlords will only speak Spanish. I’ll discuss a solution for this further on.
When you meet with agents or landlords, it’s also important for you to know what questions to ask. To help you out, I created a list of 17 important questions to ask before renting in Panama.
If You’re Moving With Kids- Visit Some Schools
And if you are planning to relocate to Panama with children, then touring a few schools might be your priority. We have a list of international schools in the Complete Panama Relocation Guide, plus information about the process for enrolling your children in a school in Panama. Panama has both a public and private school system. Public schools will be taught in Spanish Only.
International schools range from $80 to $500 a month, and some have an entrance fee also.
If you prefer to homeschool, are there other homeschool parents in the area you can network with?
Join The Expat Forum
One of the best ways to get a feel for a city or community is to meet with a few local expats. Our Private Facebook Community has expats all over Panama. They will be glad to meet with you to discuss their move to Panama. Keep in mind you’ll need a Facebook account to join. It’s available for anyone who has been on a Panama Relocation Tour or purchased the Complete Panama Relocation Guide.
As you prepare for your scouting trip, reach out to a few expats in this Facebook group. Ask them if you can take them out for coffee, a margarita, or lunch. Get their opinion (pros and cons) about living in the area. But take everything you learn from another person with a grain of salt. At the end of the day, you’re the one who would be relocating here. But this is a great way to make some new acquaintances, get some insider information, and start networking.
What Kind of Medical Care is Available?
Knowing what medical care and a hospital are available should be a priority for you. Not because you’re assuming the worst will happen. But because it’s important to know what options you have if you should need emergency care.
When you move to a new area, one of the first things to determine is where is the closest hospital just in case you have an emergency.
Because it’s less than $20 to see a doctor and no appointment is necessary, you may want to visit a doctor to discuss any pre-existing health conditions you have so you can determine if your medical needs can be met in Panama.
You may want to know things like- is there an emergency room nearby? What emergencies can they cover? Is there any English-speaking staff? What’s the number of private ambulances in that medical center? What specialists practice there? And if this hospital isn’t big enough, where is the nearest big hospital? And so on and so forth.
If you take medications, you should also visit a pharmacy to see if the medications you take are available and what they will cost. Keep in mind that pharmacies are privately owned, so the price at one pharmacy could be completely different than another pharmacy across the street.
If you qualify for a Jubilado discount, you’ll get 10% off medications. But, many pharmacies in Panama offer 25% discounts on certain days. Find out which day they offer the discount.
What’s The Vibe Like?
But perhaps the most important thing you’ll realize during your scouting trip will be: “Do I see myself living here?” No amount of YouTube videos, Facebook posts, and other forums will give you the experience of you actually being in a place yourself.
And if you don’t like the vibe, then you won’t like living there.
So truly go on your scouting trip with an open mind. If things are on your “Must Have” list, verify that they are available and satisfactory to you.
Leave all the expectations you might have about living in Panama behind. And experience a place with a fresh mind. And at the end of the day, if you don’t see yourself enjoying a place long-term, scratch it off your list. It’ll save you a lot of headaches and money- trust me.
Do Not Buy Real Estate
And whatever you do, don’t buy a house in Panama before spending at least 6 months to a year here. Don’t buy real estate until you have a permanent residency visa.
You really need to experience the area you like in Panama in both the rainy season and dry season before you make a buying decision. They can be dramatically different.
Selling a house in Panama isn’t as easy as it is north of the border.
Many people think they would love living on the beach because they’ve seen pictures of it online, and it looks paradisiacal. But then, after spending a few weeks in humid and hot weather, they might realize the beach isn’t for them after all.
Or they move to the mountains, only to discover that it’s too cold for them in the rainy season.
Some people move to Panama determined to live in a popular expat community but might find that a neighboring town with less expats is more affordable and feels more authentic.
If you bought a house, and all of a sudden you like another part of Panama, it’s not that easy to sell it and move.
Rent first! Rent is affordable, and it gives you the chance to check out many different areas before you find the place you like best.
Does It Feel Safe To You At All Times?
One of the things that really make people worry as they start to research is safety in Panama.
And although there is crime in Panama, you can talk to any expat who is living here full time and they’ll tell you they feel perfectly safe! Some areas of Panama have more crime than others. Most areas have very little crime. Just think about all the crime that happens in your country/state/province every day – yet people still live there.
But- how do YOU feel?
When you make your scouting trip to the places in Panama you’re interested in, how do you feel walking around alone? Do you feel unsafe? Are you on guard?
Mingle and talk with Panamanians too! (not just expats) You’ll find Panamanians are the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.
These are important things to make a note of. Because if you don’t feel comfortable walking around alone, you won’t have the best experience living in Panama. I also encourage you to visit various neighborhoods at different times of the day. That way you get an idea of how safe it feels at all times.
The EASY Button – Work With A Relocation Expert
Living in Panama can be a wonderful experience, as long as you do your due diligence and keep these things in mind that we’ve discussed in this article.
Instead of scouting Panama on your own, there’s an easier way to check out Panama and an easier way to make the transition to living in Panama!
Would you rather have someone do most of the legwork for you? Someone who could line up rentals in your budget for you to visit? Someone who knows the local language and can help you translate certain things on your visit? Someone who can help facilitate getting you from point A and point B without you having to worry about renting a car? Or having to get the right type of car insurance? Someone who understands the local culture and can help you avoid mistakes? Someone who is always readily available to answer your questions?
And most importantly, someone who can save you time, money, and headaches by teaching you what not to do too!

Tanzania - Road Sector Support Project 1- ESIA Summary
The project comprises construction to bitumen standard two roads (i) Iringa – Dodoma and Namtumbo – Tunduru. The two roads have a combined total length of approximately 453 km. According to the ADB’s Environmental and Social Assessment Procedures (ESAP), the project is classified as Category 1 which calls for a full ESIA (Environmental and Social Impact Assessment) to be carried out. In addition, over 200 persons will be involuntarily displaced and large amounts of assets destroyed in the two roads, respectively. For that matter a full Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) has been prepared. This Summary, therefore, presents the assessments of the two roads and attached is an Annex of the Summary of the RAPs prepared for the two roads. The Summary shall present: the Project Description and Justification; Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework; Description of Project Environment; presentation of Project Alternatives; Potential Impact and Mitigation/Enhancement Measures; Environmental Management Plan; Monitoring Program; Public Consultations and Disclosure; Conclusion; References and Contacts; and as an Annex the RAP Summary.


Although it isn't particularly famed as a dividend stock, Gilead Sciences (GILD -1.43%) is nevertheless a consistent payer of such distributions. Reinforcing this, the company -- these days considered a coronavirus stock due to its COVID-19 drug remdesivir -- has declared its latest quarterly dividend.
A dividend of $0.68 per share will be handed out on Sept. 29 to investors of record as of Sept. 15. On Friday's closing stock price, this would yield 3.9%.
Since initiating its payout in February of 2015, the pharmaceutical company has dispensed it in every quarter. Over that stretch of time, it has increased gradually, from an initial $0.43 per share to the present level.
Although Gilead has been a coronavirus stock star due to recent encouraging news about remdesivir's repurposing, its most recently reported quarter wasn't exactly a standout.
As reported on Thursday, the company posted notable declines in headline financials for its second quarter of fiscal 2020. Sales fell by 10% on a year-over-year basis, while it flipped to a bottom-line loss for the period. Stripping out the pricey ($4.9 billion) acquisition of biotech Forty Seven, the company still would have seen an erosion in profit -- earnings per share in that case were $1.11, well down from the $1.72 per share of Q2 2019.
Gilead shares fell by 3.9% on Friday, despite the happy news about the new dividend. The shares declined at a rate considerably deeper than that recorded by the top equity indexes on the day.


Rent prices are so high in Miami-Dade that many lawyers on county salaries are leaving town or going into private practice, according to Public Defender Carlos Martinez, who implored state lawmakers to bring home more money for raises.
At a public hearing Thursday of the Miami-Dade legislative delegation downtown, Martinez thanked the lawmakers present who helped see through a budget line last year increasing pay for prosecutors and public defenders by up to $10,000.
That “tremendous” move slowed the bleeding by helping the roughly 200 lawyers in his office afford to live in Miami-Dade, he said. But retention remains a problem, Martinez said, pointing to a loss last year of about a fifth of his legal team.
“The prior fiscal year, I lost 61 lawyers. Because of what you did last year, I only lost 40,” he said. “Now, when you hear 40, that’s a huge number, so I’m here to ask you for more money.”
Martinez asked lawmakers to seek a $15,000 annual pay increase for lawyers in his office and more than 300 in State Attorney Katherine Fernadnez Rundle’s office.
That added expenditure of up to $7.5 million per year will also bolster recruitment efforts by both offices, he said. In the last two months, Martinez’s office interviewed 200 lawyers for prospective employment and whittled down the list to 34 to whom it extended job offers. Just nine of those who got offers accepted.
“This year, it’s been a nightmare,” he said.
Among those who didn’t accept, the common reason given, he said, was the cost of rent in Miami-Dade, which is among the most expensive in the nation. In June, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Maria Fudge called Miami the “epicenter” of the nation’s housing crisis.
The county is also the most competitive housing market in the country, with 31 prospective renters for every vacant apartment, according to RentCafe. The national average is 14 per apartment. In neighboring Broward, the number is 19.
“The issue of rent is not just the rent amount; it’s the first, last and deposit for people who just finished law school (and) weren’t working,” Martinez said. “They were just gathering debt, and all of a sudden, we’re asking them to try to come up with $7,000 to move in, when my check is not going to come in for a month.”
Assistant Public Defenders in Miami-Dade make between $74,000 and $78,000, while Assistant State Attorneys earn around $108,000 yearly, according to GlassDoor.com. Of note, those pay rates are the average of all lawyers who filled out information and do not reflect starting salaries, which hover in the $50,000 range.
That also doesn’t count support staff. In 2019, Fernandez Rundle told Miami Today a secretary in her office starts at around $23,000.
“That’s probably welfare-level,” she said. “Some probably are on food stamps.”
While turnover declined thanks to the pay raise last year that went into effect July 1, Martinez said it’s once more on the rise.
“I’m getting nervous again,” he said. “I really hope I don’t have the January or February I had last year. I was losing two lawyers a week last year at this time. Fortunately right now, I’m down to one lawyer a week, so I’m praying that you will help us out.”
January 14, 2023 at 12:50 pm
The starting salary for an assistant public defender is currently $60,000. Assistant state attorneys also start at $60K. No need to go to glassdoor, government employee salaries are available online.

New 2019 Toyota Hiace Look Wallpapers is free HD wallpaper. This wallpaper was upload at August 05, 2018 upload by admin in Toyota.
When we discuss the Toyota Hiace model, the first thing we could think about is its reliability. This model initially debuted back in 1967. And it has actually been available in several body designs such as pick-up, double taxi, minibus, and van. Since its introduction, it has actually been altered over the 5 generation which is at the exact same time the existing. The 5th generation model has shown up in 2004 and has been readily available in a large long-wheelbase wagon, broad super-long-wheelbase high-roof wagon, long-wheelbase van, long-wheelbase high-roof van, and large super-long-wheelbase high-roof van. As well, moving through the cabin has become a lot easier with this generation model. Nevertheless, this time we will speak about the most recent version which will enter the marketplace as the 2019 Toyota Hiace.
Although the new Hiace model will still represent the existing generation model, it is anticipated to continue to be the brand’s very popular model in its class. It is understood for its sturdiness, comfort, and dependability. Also, it comes with extremely high safety ratings, and with various active and passive safety systems. The 2018 model year has actually shown up with upgrades under the hood and also in the safety department. So, by all chances, the 2019 model year will most likely be a carryover of the present version.
2019 Toyota Hiace Engine and Performance
Depending upon a market, the 2019 Toyota Hiace will be available with numerous kinds of engines. So, in Japan, this model will show up with a 2.8-liter inline-4 turbo-diesel engine which will be able to make 149 horse power. This system will be mated to a 6-speed automatic rather of the old 4-speed automated gearbox. There will also be gas engines: a 2.0-liter inline- 4 1TR-FE with the output of 134 hp and a 2.7-liter inline-4 2TR-FE engine which will be able to make 158 horse power. These engines will likewise work with a six-speed automatic.
Some markets will also offer a 2.5 2KD-FTV inline-4 which will produce 107 hp and 3.0-liter 1KD-FTV inline-4 with the output of 142 horses. Too, it will show up with a 3.0-liter 5L-E I4 which can create 91 hp; and there is a 2.2-liter 4Y-E inline-4 with 94 horsepower.
2019 Toyota Hiace Design
When it pertains to exterior design, the 2019 Toyota Hiace will probably keep the same, familiar style as the current variation. Inside the cabin, it will likewise arrive with the exact same spec as previously. The 2019 Toyota Hiace will be extremely large, comfy and extremely well geared up. The control panel is large and very useful with lots of controls which are easy to operate.
2019 Toyota Hiace Safety
The safety will be on the highest level, and the previous version has actually included even more features. It now comes standard with the most recent Safety Sense System. Also, there are anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, front accident avoidance/mitigation, pedestrian detection, and so on.
2019 Toyota Hiace Release Date and Price
It is still not clear

A website covering news in one of the UK’s biggest cities has been launched by a regional publisher.
The announcement comes after Trinity Mirror announced the launch of Dublin Live, a digital-only project set up to cover the Republic of Ireland’s capital city, earlier this month.
All content will be originally produced by a dedicated team of six journalists, and an overall team of more than 10 – including columnists and marketing staff .
Contributors include Observer columnist Kevin McKenna, comedian Robert Florence and phototgrapher Elaine Livingstone.
The website, set to go live this coming Monday, is the third to be launched by Trinity Mirror under the ‘Live’ brand – after Dublin Live and Belfast Live, which was launched last year.
Said Gregor: “We will be taking a positive approach to our stories and won’t be telling our readers what to think about an issue, instead delivering the facts in a completely neutral voice.
“We will also be embracing all forms of digital and social media and interacting with our readers across a range of platforms, putting them at the heart of the news.
“This is a great opportunity for both myself as editor and for my talented group of young journalists to tell the story of our great city and to provide a platform for all Glaswegians to make their voices heard.”
Allan Rennie, managing director of Media Scotland, added: “Trinity Mirror has a strong track record of launching standalone digital websites and we’re following the formula by producing strong and engaging local journalism for the people Glasgow.
“Based in the heart of the city we’re in the perfect place to serve and build a loyal digital audience. Gregor has put together a quality editorial team who will reflect the lives and loves of Glaswegians every day.”

- Saturday, January 18, 2014, 10 p.m.
- Old Town Pub & Restaurant, 600 Lincoln Ave., Steamboat Springs
Steamboat Springs As the audience has grown for Nederland-based band Mountain Standard Time, so have the lessons.
The self-described Rocky Mountain freegrass band has seen an increased following, spending time last year touring the country to growing interest.
And if nothing else, it’s always nice to come home. If not for Colorado’s appreciation of its music, for the new legalization of pot.
“As soon as you leave the state, at all the border states, they’re looking for Colorado plates,” drummer Zack Scott said. “We have a van with Colorado plates and that always draws attention. Luckily, we’re all a little older and we don’t look super young or scruffy anymore. Plus we have a nice van and look legit.”
The look aside, the band’s sound has been refined and remade in the last year and a half. The band plays at 10 p.m. Saturday at Old Town Pub. The cost is $5.
In addition to Scott and stalwarts Nick Dunbar and Stanton Sutton, the group added Otis Lande on bass and former Yamn keyboardist Ryan Ebarb.
The sound, Scott said, has matured in a good way. Some sections are composed, while others keep relative looseness. It’s part Umphrey’s McGee, part old school bluegrass mixed in a kettle of rhythmic electronica, funk and rock.
“It’s added a progressive edge,” Scott said.
After returning from a cross-country tour, the band is back in Colorado for a mini tour. The band will play in Telluride, Winter Park, Steamboat, Durango, Crested Butte and then head to Salt Lake City.
“Any time we’re on our mountain run it’s fun to get into towns like Steamboat or Telluride,” Scott said. “We definitely get a different vibe. It’s our home state. People tend to get our music a little more than other places. The community feel of the Colorado music scene is nice.”
The band last played in Steamboat last winter, but played a sold out show at OTP in 2011.
With the new band members and more than 18 months of time on the road together, Scott said the band has come up with a bunch of new material and even reworked old material.
All together, the time has allowed the band to progress at home and around the country.
“Mountain Standard Time has never been smoother,” he said.

Emphasizing what he called the Democratic Party’s commitment to frugal governing, Gov. Jerry Brown downplayed the chances Monday of returning to the voters to renew sales and income tax increases when they expire starting at the end of 2016.
Speaking with reporters in Pleasanton after a rare campaign appearance, Brown was asked about the possibility of extending Proposition 30, which has bailed out the state budget by raising $6 billion a year. The measure, passed by voters overwhelmingly in 2012, raised sales taxes by 0.25 percent through the end of 2016 and increased income taxes on the wealthiest Californians through 2018.

Saeed Ajmal looking to break national record of ``most wickets in a year``
Lahore: Pakistan off spinner Saeed Ajmal will be targeting to break the national record of ``most wickets in a year``- which is currently held by Saqlain Mushtaq who scored 101 wickets 15 years ago - in the three games left.
The 35-year-old, ranked number one in the world in the official ICC ratings for ODI cricket, has bagged 93 wickets for his country so far, reports The Nation.
Ajmal is expected to feature in two T20 internationals against India in Bangalore on Tuesday and on December 27 in Ahmedabad. Ajmal`s final game of 2012 comes on December 30 when Pakistan face India in a 50-over international.
