Jarry: 'It's Been A Heck Of A Ride'
Chilean Nicolas Jarry had four match points on Horacio Zeballos’ serve as the Argentine attempted to stay in their Brasil Open semi-final at 3-5 in the third set. For Jarry, a 22-year-old searching for his first ATP World Tour final, the missed opportunity could have sent countless thoughts racing through his mind during the changeover. The grandson of former World No. 14 Jaime Fillol had his country’s expectations on his shoulders as he attempted to become the first Chilean to reach a final in nearly a decade (Fernando Gonzalez, 2009 Vina del Mar).
So what was he thinking during the sit-down?
“Nothing. Just breathe. I played them all well,” Jarry told ATPWorldTour.com. “I stayed calm and just tried to serve well.”
The Chilean certainly did that, hitting one of his 20 aces to clinch his first final one week after reaching his maiden tour-level semi-final at the Rio Open presented by Claro. Oh, by the way, Jarry had never made a quarter-final prior to the Ecuador Open in February.
In fact, Jarry was just 5-10 in tour-level matches before this season. Yet, he now owns 12 victories this year alone, and looks primed for plenty more. Jarry will contest his maiden final against second seed Fabio Fognini, who has not lost a set all week.
But it was not so long ago that Jarry was far from the stardom that he is creating for himself. As recently as June 2016, the Chilean was down to No. 619 in the ATP Rankings. He says that it was tough to recover from a broken wrist, but that didn’t get him down on himself or stop him from thinking he could move up the ATP Rankings.
“Just have fun and train hard… that’s all I have done since that moment,” said Jarry, who added that winning three ATP Challenger Tour titles last season sent him in the right direction. . “Last year was a great year. My confidence has grown a lot, and it’s helped me believe more.”
That belief has shined through this week in Sao Paulo, as each of Jarry’s four matches have gone to three sets, with his past three victories coming in come-from-behind fashion. For the second week in a row, he defeated Top 25 player Albert Ramos-Vinolas, and four of his victories over the past two weeks are his best wins by ranking for his entire career.
Jarry, armed with a massive forehand and a missile-like serve, is not changing his mentality, though.
“It’s always been the same. First [ATP] Challenger [Tour] final, first Futures final. Now it’s my first ATP World Tour Final, but it’s the same,” Jarry said. “I just try to enjoy the experience, give it everything and I wish that I win. But if I don’t, I’ll still be happy with the week and the matches that I’ve done. I have to keep on going for the rest of the year and the rest of my life.”
And that philosophical approach fits Jarry, who says that if he wants fans around the world to know one thing about him, it’s that he wants to set a good example. He plans to work hard every day to continue to improve so that this magical run does not stop after tomorrow’s final against Fognini. But even so, Jarry summed the journey up succinctly.
“It’s been a heck of a ride.”

In 2008, Converse brought Pharrell Williams, Julian Casablancas and Santigold together to create a unique collaborative track.
The three artists also featured as the centrepoint of an iconic campaign that ran across the globe, celebrating creativity in music and the Chuck Taylor’s constant presence in - and ongoing support of - music and culture.
Two years later, Converse has again brought three diverse artists together – Kid Cudi, Rostam of Vampire Weekend, and Best Coast – for the iconic brand’s ‘Three Artists One Song’ collaboration.
The three musicians joined forces to create the brand new track and on the video. This has been released as well as the free download of on converse.com and authorized Converse websites around the world.
‘All Summer’ was produced by Rostam and is the product of three dynamic artists weaving together their individual musical styles to create a summer-ready innovative track.
Critics from SPIN, Pitchfork, Vanity Fair, and New York Magazine among others have been among the many that are praising the song’s fresh and infectious sound.
The video features the three artists switching “heads” and personalities. It was created by Converse, Anomaly and the acclaimed animation and creative company Psyop in partnership with Cornerstone. To download the single and view the new video, go to converse.com.

The UK government has unveiled a new long-term plan to combat ‘anti-car measures’ and support motorists across the nation.
This initiative was unveiled by Transport Secretary, Mark Harper with the view of decreasing traffic enforcement to keep cars moving and make parking simpler.
For example, the measures include reviewing guidance on 20mph speed limits to prevent their use in areas where they are “not appropriate.” This is in spite of the ability for these lower limits to reduce crashes and save lives. For example, if a driver hits a pedestrian at 20mph, the chances of the pedestrian surviving are 97.5 percent; by contrast, if the pedestrian is hit at 30mph, the chances of survival drop to 80 percent and to a mere 10 percent if the driver is going 40mph.
In addition, the government plans to amend guidance and restrict the introduction of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, which reduce traffic in those areas and surrounding areas to improve safety, reduce pollution and promote a higher quality of life. Despite these benefits, the government is calling for a greater focus on local consent to end “blanket imposition.”
The plans also aim to stop councils from implementing ‘15-minute cities’ where people have access to necessary and desirable amenities within 15 minutes of their home.
Furthermore, to improve convenience for drivers, the Department for Transport (DfT) has announced that it will strengthen guidance to ensure bus lanes only operate when necessary. It will also launch a consultation on allowing motorcycles to use bus lanes.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said:
For too long politicians have focused on the short-term decisions with little regard for the long term impact on hardworking families.
We’ve seen this consistently with people’s freedoms on transport. The clamp down on drivers is an attack on the day-to-day lives of most people across the UK who rely on cars to get to work or see their families.
This week the UK Government will set out a long-term plan to back drivers, slamming the brakes on anti-car measures across England. We are taking the necessary decision to back the motorists who keep our country moving.
These plans contradict the sector’s promising focus on reducing reliance on private cars to curb congestion and meet net-zero targets.
Indeed, a modal shift towards public and active transport is arguably vital for enhancing sustainability, air quality and safety, with electrification alone failing to offer an easy fix for decarbonisation. Even convenience is likely to suffer if more people are forced to make trips by car rather than by public transport or walking / biking because more cars will mean more congestion.
However, this recent announcement suggests that these targets are no longer a priority for the government, which is instead focused on “making life easier for drivers.” Notably, this comes on the back of the Mayor of London’s expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in the capital.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said:
Too often the private car is vilified when it has been one of the most powerful forces for personal freedom and economic growth. That’s why the Government is taking the long-term, necessary decision to back the motorists who keep our country moving.
We’re introducing a plan to ensure drivers can enjoy smoother journeys, park more easily and no longer face unfair and oppressive traffic enforcement measures.

born on 27/12/1946 in New Brunswick, NJ, United States
Kaye was born to Jewish parents in the Washington Heights area of upper Manhattan, New York, along the Hudson River. When Lenny was one year old his father changed the family name from Kusikoff to Kaye. Growing up in Queens and Brooklyn, Kaye originally began playing the accordion, but by the end of the 1950s, had dropped the instrument in favor of collecting records. His family moved to North Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1960 where Lenny attended high school, and later, college, graduating from Rutgers University in 1967, majoring in American history. He became a fan of science fiction and gained experience in writing, publishing his own fanzine, Obelisk, at the age of 15. Though he majored in American history, his true vocation was musical, and it was there that he first began playing in bands, on a college mixer and fraternity circuit. His first gig, with the Vandals ("Bringing down the house with your kind of music"), was at Alpha Sigma Phi on November 7, 1964.
As musician, writer, and record producer, Kaye was intimately involved with an array of artists and bands. He was a guitarist for poet/rocker Patti Smith from her band's inception in 1974, and co-authored Waylon, The Life Story of Waylon Jennings. He worked in the studio with such artists as R.E.M., James, Suzanne Vega, Jim Carroll, Soul Asylum, Kristin Hersh, and Allen Ginsberg. His seminal anthology of sixties' garage-rock, Nuggets, is widely regarded as defining the genre. You Call It Madness: The Sensuous Song of the Croon, an impressionistic study of the romantic singers of the 1930s, was published by Villard/Random House in 2004.
His uncle, songwriter Larry Kusik ("A Time For Us" from Romeo and Juliet; "Speak Softly Love" from The Godfather) took note of his lengthening hair and musical commitment, and asked him to sing on a song he'd recently penned with Ritchie Adams, once of the Fireflies ("You Were Mine"). Kaye soon found himself in Associated Recording Studios on Times Square, recording "Crazy Like A Fox", along with its flip side, "Shock Me". The resultant 45, issued under the name of Link Cromwell, was leased to Hollywood Records, a division of Starday Records located in Nashville, Tennessee, and released in March 1966. It garnered a Newcomer Pick of the Week from Cashbox ("A rhythmic bluesy folk-rocker with a pulsating beat") and was issued in England as well as Australia; but failed to move in the charts. Though hardly a smash, it gave Kaye a sense of self as a musician, and inspired him to continue performing and playing. His group at the time, The Zoo, worked a college circuit ranging from New York to Pennsylvania; this early experience has been captured on a live album issued by Norton Records, Live 1966.
Moving back to the city, Kaye began writing reviews for Jazz & Pop magazine (which was edited at the time by Jim Morrison's soon-to-be wife, Patricia Kennealy Morrison); branching out to such nascent rock publications as Fusion, Crawdaddy and Rolling Stone. He became the music editor of Cavalier, a men's magazine, and would write a monthly column for them until 1975; and the New York correspondent for the British weekly, Disc. As a freelance writer, he wrote for a wide range of periodicals, including Melody Maker and Creem, and edited such publications as Rock Scene and Hit Parader throughout the 1970s.
While working at the record store Village Oldies on Bleecker Street in New York, Kaye met poet-singer Patti Smith. On February 10, 1971, he backed her at a reading at St. Mark's Church on East 10th Street opening for Gerard Malanga. When they resumed performance in November 1973, their artistic efforts bore fruit as one of the major rock bands of the 1970s. Kaye produced Patti's debut single ("Hey Joe / Piss Factory"), and performed as part of her Group throughout the decade, as reflected in four Arista albums: Horses (1975), Radio Ethiopia (1976), Easter (1978) and Wave (1979).
Following the Patti Smith Group's final performance in September 1979, Kaye joined the Jim Carroll Band, as well as fronting his own Lenny Kaye Connection. He co-produced Suzanne Vega's first two albums, including her 1987 hit single, "Luka", which was nominated for a Grammy as Record of the Year. He has been nominated three times for Grammy awards in the liner notes category for boxed sets on the sixties folk revival (Bleecker and MacDougal), white blues (Crossroads), and progressive rock (Elektrock); and in 1977, with David Dalton, co-authored "Rock 100", a comprehensive overview of leading rock stars from the 1950s til the 1970s.
In 1995, he reunited with Patti Smith and has been a part of her band since, creating five studio albums, a retrospective, and celebrating the thirtieth anniversary release of their landmark debut album, Horses.
In 2010, Kaye contributed a solo recording for Daddy Rockin' Strong: A Tribute to Nolan Strong and the Diablos (The Wind/Norton Records). Kaye recorded a version of "I Wanna Know," a 1950s R&B ballad. He appears on and wrote one song for The Fleshtones 2011 album Brooklyn Sound Solution (Yep Roc). Also, he appeared on "Alligator Aviator Autopilot Antimatter" and "Blue" on R.E.M.'s 2011 album Collapse into Now, an album that Patti Smith also contributed to, also on "Blue" and another song, "Discoverer".
In mid-February 2018, Kaye took over the night shift on Little Steven's Underground Garage, replacing Richard Manitoba who was let go mid-January 2018.

Labelling its first hydrogen fuel cell car – the first such car made available to members of the public, no less – ‘Clarity’ in 2008 ranks among Honda’s bolder recent decisions.
Doubtless, it was plucked from the marketing ether to echo the remarkable truth of the clear, semi-clean water trickling from the model’s tailpipe; because the alternative intimation is surely a reference to the brand’s strategic foresight, and its steely eyed dedication to a zero-emissions path that leads inexorably to the moral and technological high ground.
There’s no small irony in option B. Despite others joining Honda on the fuel cell bandwagon, almost a decade of progress has not resulted in much more clarity than we encountered the first time around.
As before, infrastructure – the method of conveniently refuelling a car that runs on the stuff – remains a thorny issue simultaneously pricked by a lack of willpower, interest and investment.
In London, one of the biggest, richest and most populous cities in the world, there is now a grand total of five places to pump compressed gaseous hydrogen into a fuel tank. That plainly isn’t enough.
However, that is not Honda’s fault nor precisely its problem. After all, the second generation of the Clarity, much like the first, is not about to appear in a UK dealership with a price sticker in its window.
Instead, the car will be trialled in limited numbers as part of a continuing demonstration project as the manufacturer builds towards having electrified powertrains in two-thirds of all the cars it sells by 2025.
So why this road test?
Well, like the Toyota Mirai we tested, Honda’s latest water-emitter promises to edge the holy-grail fuel cell tech that bit closer to real-world viability, with what it claims is the longest driving range of any zero-emissions vehicle.
While that might sound like planning for a moon visit with a pogo stick jump, we indubitably need proof that the horse works before anyone commits to building the stables.

생각해 내다, he famously went out to the French Laundry restaurant during the time that he had closed all the restaurants down. Told everybody to wear a mask, not go anywhere. He took his mask off. Partied hard with some lobbyists at the French Laundry. I was just in California last week. I think the voters are going to send him to the cleaners.
And Muriel Bowser is another example of asking others to do what she is unwilling to do. And rule 1 of leadership. Never ask others to do what you are unwilling to do.

- Two Chinese hydrogen projects, one renewable hydrogen production project, and one hydrogen fuel cell logistic truck project are seeking CDM crediting to issue international carbon credits. Another hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicle project is up for CCER issuance at home.
- Hydrogen credit issuers expand from upstream to downstream, going from green hydrogen producers, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle operators, to vehicle end-users based on different emission baseline scenarios.
- Hydrogen credit can be sold either as a stand-alone product (unbundled credit) or bundled with hydrogen (bundled credit). If it is sold as a stand-alone product, the issuer should pay extra attention to the double-counting between the credit retiree and the physical hydrogen product buyer.

Is aspirin soluble in water?
When you collect your product by vacuum filtration, you cool the mixture because aspirin is still slightly soluble in water.
Can you take aspirin with prednisone?
Prednisone helps treat inflammation, allergies, asthma, arthritis, bone and blood marrow problems, vision or eye problems, endocrine problems, lupus, kidney problems, skin conditions, stomach or bowel problems, ulcerative colitis, and flare-up.
The medication helps in lowering the activities performed by the immune system. It is also providing relief to various affected areas of our bodies.
It is suggested not to take aspirin after consuming prednisone as it will lead to severe difficulties. In addition, health experts believe that they should avoid using aspirin for at least ten hours after taking prednisone.
Their immune system is under the developing stage, and there could be a side effects.
Why does it take a long time after prednisone to take aspirin?
It increases the higher risk of ulceration, bleeding, and rarely perforation.
Apart from this, aspirin affects the working of prednisone, and the medicine cannot perform its work correctly. Therefore, if a patient is taking both drugs, it is crucial to consult a doctor and make a schedule for taking both medicines.

CBS has readjusted the premiere of “NCSI: Hawai‘i,” which now appears to be at 9 p.m. Sept. 20, following the launch at 8 p.m. of the 19th season of its hallmark “NCIS” original starring Mark Harmon.
The Hawai‘I debut of the third spin-off of the NCIS brand, following the mothership show which has been the network’s top-rated procedural for every year of its existence, appears to give the newbie a nudge in viewership and ratings. Anytime a top-tier show provides a lead-in to introduce a new member of the family, is not only smart marketing but brilliant plan to help the novice find its footing.
After all, the Pearl Harbor based series has broken a rule from past ventures. Vanessa Lachey, portraying Jane Tennant, is the series’ first woman to rule in the NCIS nest. She is also a person of color – Lachey is part Filipino – to gain inner circle diversity bragging rights.
The series has been quietly filming episodes for the launch, with the Hawai‘i show being the first to surface without the traditional pilot. This one is sailing right into the seas of residency, in a market far away from earlier shows based on the Mainland.
Though it’s been quiet on the filming front, CBS continues to name actors in recurring roles, including the latest, Enver Leif Gjokaj, playing a Navy Capt. Joe Milius, in the NCIS hierarchy. Gjokaj has appeared in Marvel’s “Agents of SHIELD” and ABC’s “The Rookies.”
His arrival, according to Variety, follows an explosive aircraft crash which he is summon to investigate. He thinks it’s no accident, Tennant believes otherwise, in the first measure of friction in paradise.
Alex Tarrant, a co-star named to play NCIS agent and local resident Kai, also is new to the cast. He looks very much like a local, but in actuality, he is a New Zealand actor-cinematographer, who has been filming “The Lord of the Rings.”
It’s curious to note that the ranks of secondary roles/actors continue to mount, with Mainland or foreign talent tapped for these characters, rather than someone who actually is a Hawaii actor and resides here.
‘Wonder’ returns this fall
“The Wonder Years” is returning to ABC, with a new wrinkle. And it’s been 30 years that the original graced those black-and-white TV screens
The reboot will feature a black cast, now set in Montgomery, Alabama, going back to the formative days with the nostalgia focusing on 12-year-old Dean, played by Elisah “EJ” Williams , with Don Cheadle providing narratives when required.
The revival is produced by “Empire” creator Lee Daniels, and one of the producers is Fred Savage, all grown up, the original Kevin Arnold, in the popular series that ran for six seasons. So he brings perspective to the new “Wonder” plate. …
Diamond Head Theatre’s “A Chorus Line,” which premieres this Friday (July 16), has added a week of shows, through Aug. 8. If you want to secure seats, most of the run is sold out; at last check, best dates for ticket-buying is Aug. 6 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 7 at 3 p.m. Isolated single seats might also be available on other dates.
Greg Zane, who is directing and choreographing, is fine-tuning the Michael Bennett musical, an homage to those chorus liners aching to land a role in a Broadway show. It’s noted for its strategic dancing, that soul-stirring “One (Singular Sensation)” finale, a mylar-reflecting “The Music and the Mirror” dance solo by Cassie, a lead role portrayed by Kira Stone, and an emotional and explosive monologue by the Paul San Marco character, played by Dwayne Sakaguchi.
Advisory: this is a no-intermission show, so plan accordingly. …
And that’s “Show Biz.” …

A sex worker Hannah Saliu has been lynched in Lagos for being in possession of a Quran.
Saliu, it was gathered, attended to a customer and was paid N1,000 for her service. She later ran after the customer when she discovered her N5,000 was missing.
The allegations forced her customer to mobilise his friends to search Saliu’s room.
While searching the place, the men reportedly found a Quran underneath her pillow.
They reportedly questioned her for being in possession of it and soon pounced on her.
“The incident happened at Alaba Rago, where a lot of Northerners reside. The girl that was killed also came from the North. Their grouse was that she was not supposed to be carrying Quran because of the kind of work she was doing,” a source was quoted as saying.
Commenting on the matter, Lagos police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin said, “The case is at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, and three suspects have been charged to court. The incident happened in April.”
The suspects are Abubakar Musa, Sarauta Monsur, and Surajo Yusuf, PUNCH reports.

The Sumerian Nibiru Prophecy, Nostradamusâ?? Doomsday Prophecy and others give us 9 potential 2012 disaster scenarios to prepare for. The challenge is to find a sanctuary to be with you family when it all gets ugly. While continental Europe has an enormous population, finding a remote safe place with the right kind of climate and terrain is still possible if you look in the right places.
Parts of the Pyrenees in northern Spain offer remote, mountainous terrain with a mild climate and good growing conditions ideal for a 2012 survival sanctuary in Europe. Water is plentiful both on the surface and in aquifers underground. The obvious downsides are that Western Europe has very high population density overall, and land is expensive. Speaking Spanish would also be an advantage when youâ??re getting set up.
The thickly forested mountains of Transylvania are fairly remote, and because Romania is an economic backwater land can be relatively affordable. Population density is low by European standards.
If you live in the United Kingdom the Highlands is your closest potential 2012 survival sanctuary, combining remoteness with accessibility. However despite the name the Highlands are not particularly high in elevation except for some very barren peaks. The winters can be harsh, and the soil is poor. The Highlands would suit you if you have a lot of money to invest in a major bunker, with massive stores and plenty of security. You could bide your time underground and then emerge to see whatâ??s left of the world in 2014 or 15.
Savage winters at higher elevation, but extreme remoteness makes Norway an attractive option if you have the funds to equip a shelter. Long-term you might have to move south to find arable land and milder temperatures, but as a 2012 bolt-hole the inland mountains of Norway could be worth consideration.
The Ural Mountains are already honeycombed with a massive network of bunkers left over from the Cold War. There is accommodation deep underground for tens of thousands of people. However the Urals are an immense mountain range rivalling the Rockies in scale, so you should still be able to find a place â?? if you are Russian that is. Come 2012 foreigners will be about as welcome as a cockroach in the Borst.
Areas of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Georgia and other Central Asian countries of the old USSR also have great potential survival locations in their mountainous interiors. US dollars go a long way, but corruption is everywhere, and the heavily armed locals can be fierce.
Turkey has a vast mountainous, sparsely populated interior. Find an area where there is good availability of water and it could be a very smart option in 2012.
In WW11 the French Resistance successfully hid from the Nazis for four long, hard years in the wilderness areas of the Auvergne and the Massif Central. These areas have some of the oldest surface rocks on Earth and there are enormous cave systems. For Europe population density is on the low side, but if I was going here Iâ??d make sure my Family Safe house was as close to invisible as possible and very easy to defend.
Germany, The Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary
This magnificent part of Europe features endless rolling forests and craggy mountain ranges. The climate is mild and you can grow just about anything. However, this area is surrounded by very big cities in all directions, so my comments about the safe house in France apply here too.
The whole country is one big 2012 survival sanctuary. People used to say only cockroaches would survive a global nuclear apocalypse, but to that Iâ??d add the Swiss. The country is one big interconnected underground survival shelter, stocked with enough supplies to last until the third millennium. Plus every single Swiss man attends annual military training camps and has a machine gun in the closet. Unless it takes a direct hit from a major NEO, Switzerland will come out of 2012 OK. You can move there now if you want. Just donâ??t expect them to let you stay if you donâ??t have at least ten million or more in one of their banks.

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama is uncorked and letting it fly.
President Donald Trump dangled a promise to get a weary, fearful nation “back to normal” on Friday as he looked to campaign past the political damage of the devastating pandemic. It was a tantalizingly rosy pitch in sharp contrast to Democratic rival Joe Biden, who pledged to level with America about tough days still ahead after Tuesday’s election.
Russian interference has been minimal so far in the most tempestuous U.S. presidential election in decades. But that doesn’t mean the Kremlin can’t inflict serious damage. The vulnerability of state and local government networks is a big worry.
President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden are chasing votes Thursday in Florida, a state all but essential to the Republican's pathway to another term, as both nominees turn their focus to encouraging voters to turn out in person on Election Day.
The election of 2020 has been called many things: extraordinary, bizarre, unprecedented.
Joe Biden said Wednesday he's “not running on the false promises of being able to end this pandemic by flipping a switch” but would prioritize science, while President Donald Trump used the race's final days to keep up a whirlwind campaign schedule aimed at focusing on anything but the cornavirus.
President Donald Trump embarked Monday on a final-week charge through nearly a dozen states ahead of the election, overlooking a surge of coronavirus cases in the U.S. and a fresh outbreak in his own White House. His Democratic rival, Joe Biden, is holding far fewer events in an effort to demonstrate that he’s taking the worsening pandemic seriously.
The polarization, well documented in national political polls, has led election observers to wonder whether there are any undecided voters left in a presidential contest that has occurred as traditional outlets of voter outreach have been curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Supporters of President Donald Trump who took part in a scientific while watching Thursday's debate reacted more strongly than others when one candidate attacked the other.
Joe Biden is confronting the harsh political realities of combating climate change.
President Donald Trump and his allies are fighting for momentum in the nation’s leading battleground states following a debate performance that gave new hope to anxious Republicans
WASHINGTON — The second and final presidential debate, it turns out, was actually a debate — a brief interlude of normalcy in an otherwise highly abnormal year, and a reprieve for voters turned off by the candidates’ noxious first faceoff.
Democrat Joe Biden's remarks that he will transition away from the oil industry in favor of renewable energy sources have drawn quick attention from President Donald Trump
After a raucous first debate led organizers to introduce a mute button, Thursday’s second and final meeting between President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden was a downright civil affair
On Thursday, Oct. 22, President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden are meeting onstage at Belmont University in Nashville. The Washington Post's Libby Casey will host and Post reporters Lenny Bronner, Rhonda Colvin, James Hohmann, Hannah Jewell, Michael Scherer and Whitney Shefte will provide analysis. Joyce Koh will also provide dispatches from the debate site in Nashville.
President Donald Trump was more focused. Former Vice President Joe Biden was a bit folksy. Their second debate, with stricter rules that prevented them from interrupting each other when key questions were asked, may have had more substance than the first debate, a panel of observers who graded the candidates for The Spokesman-Review said after the 90-minute session ended. But with so many votes already cast, and so few voters left to persuade, it might not make a difference. Here’s how our panelists, who watched the debate individually from their homes, graded the debaters and viewed some of their best and worst moments.
President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden are set to square off in their final debate Thursday, one of the last high-profile opportunities for the trailing incumbent to change the trajectory of an increasingly contentious campaign.
When President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden arrive in Nashville Thursday for their final debate before the Nov. 3 election, they’ll be greeted by a city with rising coronavirus case counts inside a state immersed in a debate of its own about mask-wearing.
So far this fall, the presidential and vice presidential debates have chewed up some highly experienced journalists chosen to moderate them.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Attorney General William Barr to immediately launch an investigation into unverified claims about Democrat Joe Biden and his son Hunter, effectively demanding that the Justice Department muddy his political opponent and abandon its historic resistance to getting involved in elections.

“There’s no place like home” says it best. It is true that sometimes it is good to go out and drink and be happy to relax after a long day of work, but there is nothing better than coming home and get much needed rest. Traveling is great. How exciting it is to discover different places and cultures, but nothing compared to the last, coming home after a trip to a foreign place. Make our home the perfect place to relax, be ourselves and just get away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world must be life on our agenda. Is not it better to go home with a warm, comfortable and cozy place?
A cherished home design is the oriental style. Chinese movies, companies in Asia and recently, Slum Dog Millionaire may have caused the demand for Oriental ideas. But whatever the reason, ie, the home decor is a sure catch. The clean lines, colors, soft fabrics, stylish and comfortable furniture and ornamental details are not difficult to love. Did not like a design that inspires warmth, comfort and privacy, while exuding elegance and refinement?
In the Oriental decor with a theme, get your key from the Asian style. There are natural elements of flowers, plants and water. The religious views of Asian cultures to display religious icons like the Buddha, Hindu gods, Catholic saint statues and such, typical home furnishings. Naked and simple are foreign words to Eastern theme. Instead, details and the arts are embraced.
The colors are rich tones of red, orange, yellow, brown and blue. Black and white as accents are very common these deeper, more vivid colors. You can use the colors of the fabrics and artwork, like most wood furniture, bamboo and stones.
Then it’s time to take a look at the curtains. As you choose curtains, you should make sure not to get something that is too dramatic or printed out loud. Those living room and bedroom curtains shall be of thick material, while the door can be thin fabric curtains flowing. Self-embroidered curtains or prints are perfect for any room. If you want to make your home with different types of curtains, then you should opt for pastel shades. Pay attention to the next paragraph we will tell you about carpets.
Carpets are also staples of the Eastern conception. Although oriental rug is preferred because of its perfect for this design, other types of rugs will look just as good if the colors and interior design and demand. If you want an oriental rug, but it is too expensive for you, there are fake Oriental rugs can be bought for less. With this plant as an ornament, your home will look every inch of the house oriental wants it.

Greetings everyone! We just finished up a wonderful first week of forest school at our new location! Pacifica is a 400+ acre nonprofit nature reserve with multiple ponds, seasonal creeks, forests, meadows, and so much wildlife to explore. This week we met herons, red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, frogs, woodpeckers, lizards, ground squirrels, and many new plant friends on our adventures.
This is the time of year to harvest manzanita berries and make manzanita sugar! Manzanita, meaning "little apple" in Spanish, is a woody perennial that produces little red berries that resemble apples. They are rich in vitamin C and potassium. Many animals rely on them for food at this time of year when other berries are becoming scarce. The berries are filled with a fine powder, which resembles sugar and is often referred to as "manzanita sugar." The children had lots of fun crushing the berries and tasting the sweet powder inside.

“That was during the transition. It was a briefing Comey gave to members of Congress. You and Donald Trump do agree on that,” said Hayes.
“Absolutely not. I tried to clarify that and to say: Yes, coming out of that clarified briefing I said that and I certainly meant it,” fired-back Waters. “However, I think that it’s quite different when you take a look at Comey and his relationship to the President.”
“What he’s said, what he’s done, I believe him,” she added. “Then is then, now is now.”

Firebrand Congresswoman and anti-Trump crusader Maxine Waters trashed the Commander-in-Chief over the weekend; demanding the President “keep his mouth shut” on issues “that he has no knowledge of.”
Waters was speaking with MSNBC’s Joy Reid when she was asked to comment on the President’s response to the deadly wildfires ravaging her home state of California.
“The President of the United States attempts to talk about things that he has no knowledge of. He doesn’t even understand what goes into fighting a fire, and for him to come out talking about poor management is just another indication that the president is not willing to learn anything,” ranted Waters.
“He does not really care about others, and he’s on the attack all of the time. We wish he would keep his mouth shut. California does not need him to be talking about things that he does not know,” she added.

Davenport's Figge Art Museum has 4,000 objects in its collection.
In a storage area about 5,400 square feet, exquisite paintings hang in neat rows from movable wire walls.
Many pieces in the collection have been together far longer than the 12 years they have spent at the Figge. Many came from a generous Davenport donor who collected much of the artwork in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Newer pieces, including artwork and personal belongings from Grant Wood's estate, share space with current works, including the popular Portrait of Maquoketa by Rose Frantzen.
For her occasional series, Off Limits Places, columnist Barb Ickes goes behind the scenes at the Figge to bring you The Big Story in Sunday's Quad-City Times.

Stomach bug often comes with vomiting or diarrhea because of infections in the human body. Gastroenteritis is identified clinically, based totally on individual symptoms and symptoms. Determining the precise cause is no longer vital because it does not exchange the management of the scenario. The flu can spread to pneumonia, which may be caused by endemic or next viral contamination.
- Flu is a respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that affect the nose, throat, and lungs.
- A stomach bug, also known as gastroenteritis, is an infection that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines.
- Flu symptoms include fever, cough, and body aches, while stomach bug symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain.
Flu vs Stomach Bug
Flu, short for influenza, is a viral infection that primarily affects the respiratory system, is highly contagious, and is caused by the influenza virus. A stomach bug, also known as gastroenteritis, is a common illness that can be caused by a variety of viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Flu viruses include four types. The fourth influenza generation forms four to seven generations in the family Orthomyxoviridae. Flu viruses are spread mainly by respiratory drops produced by coughing and sneezing. It can last for nearly one week. Flu is common in children and senior citizens. Children and senior citizens are prescribed to be taken care of.
Infectious diarrhea and swelling in the stomach are known as stomach bugs. Vomiting can be an alarming sign of gastroenteritis. Fever and dehydration may occur in patients. It takes nearly two weeks to be normal. It has no connection to the flu. Bacteria buildup in the body can cause gastroenteritis.
|Parameters of Comparison||Flu||Stomach Bug|
|Time period||Nearly two weeks||Nearly two days|
|Lots of water||Yes||No|
What is Flu?
Flu could be a disease that’s caused by viruses. Mild to severe fever and runny nose are common symptoms. Cough and fatigue are also some symptoms. These symptoms start in two days and are but four days. The flu can last for about a period.
Diarrhea and vomiting are possible, especially in children. The flu can regenerate into pneumonia because of a rise within the virus. Flu can also result in serious complications like acute respiratory distress syndrome and meningitis. Asthma and heart syndrome may happen to the person.
Washing hands regularly and shutting the mouth and nose when individual coughs and sneezes reduces infection. Annual immunizations can help protect you from the flu. Influenza viruses, especially IAVs, change rapidly, so flu vaccines are regularly updated to stay up with the spread of the flu.
The vaccines can protect against two strains which are IAV and IBV. Antibody or antigen trials and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) help detect the virus in humans. These tests can detect nucleic acids. Many therapies are often sued, and antibiotics are employed in extreme infections. Flu is common, and people are at high risk. Flu is restricted in most healthy people.
What is Stomach Bug?
Gastroenteritis involves both diarrhea and vomiting. A stomach ache can be an initial sign of a stomach bug. Symptoms can be seen in the person within three days. The condition can weaken down if it is not so serious.
Fever, fatigue, headaches, and muscle aches are all bacterial infections. If the stool has blood in it, the infection increases. Bacterial contagions cause severe pain in the abdomen. This may last for several weeks. Children suffering from bugs can last up to eight days, mostly.
Chronic diarrhea is very prevalent in poor countries. Dehydration is the commencement of diarrhea. Rigorous dehydration in children is very prevalent nowadays. Poor skin turgor can only transpire when the person has rigorous dehydration. The symptom of dehydration is eccentric breathing.
Recurrent infections are common, where malnutrition is a problem. Stable growth and long-term mental retardation may occur in humans after the infection. Guillain-Barré syndrome is visible in very few people. Shiga infection that produces Escherichia coli toxin is also a result of the infection.
Main Differences Between Flu and Stomach Bug
- Flu can stay for a week or two, but Stomach bugs can stay mostly for two days.
- Flu can go away if the person drinks lots of water, and bugs can go away if the person takes a rest.
- Flu can go away if a person gets plenty of sleep, but it does not work in the bug.
- Electrolytes do not work in Flu but work in Bugs.
- Vaccines are available for the flu but not available for bugs.
- Solid food is needed for flu, but avoid solid food in the bug.

The Daniel Plan: A Social Cure for a Social Disease
At the Saddleback Church in California, an innovative community-based approach to weight loss and health has helped thousands of participants. In the first of a series of special blogs for Everyday Health, physician and author Mark Hyman, MD, writes about the plan he helped create.
One in two Americans has pre-diabetes or diabetes — that is every other person in America. Twenty-five percent of diabetics and ninety percent of pre-diabetics are not diagnosed. Caring for them will cost $3.4 trillion over the next 10 years.
This is a global problem. From 1983 to 2001, worldwide diabetes prevalence increased from 35 million to 366 million, and it is projected to grow to 552 million in 2030. Ninety- five percent of diabetes cases are lifestyle-induced type 2 diabetes. The solution to our diabetes epidemic will not come from within the health care system. It will not come from a pill bottle or the blade of a scalpel. We cannot bypass the fact that this is a lifestyle disease and cannot be solved by better or more medication.
Doctors graduate medical school knowing more about treating malaria than treating obesity — or what I call diabesity. When the collective cost of diabesity-related disease (including heart disease, cancer, dementia, strokes, infertility, depression and more) is accounted for, it is the single biggest contributor to our health care costs and our national debt.
In the face of those seemingly insurmountable statistics, I had an insight after working with physician Paul Farmer in Haiti where he built the model of "accompaniment," which uses community health workers and peer support to create the conditions that led to health.
The insight was this: that the community could be the cure.
An Unexpected Solution to Diabetes, Obesity, and Chronic Disease
One year ago, in partnership with Rick Warren from Saddleback Church in Orange County, California, and two other doctors (Dr. Daniel Amen and Dr. Mehmet Oz), I helped launch The Daniel Plan — a social experiment to learn if community support was more effective than medication or conventional medical care for treating and reversing disease and creating health.
The Daniel Plan is a wellness program delivered through small groups in the church. Rick Warren’s congregation of 30,000 met every week in 5,000 small groups. That was the "secret sauce." The program is named after the biblical story of Daniel and his small group of men who refused to consume royal food and wine. By eating vegetables and water, "they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food," according to Daniel 1:15.
In the first month 15,000 people signed up, and over the last year they have lost an estimated 250,000 pounds — or the equivalent of 10 tractor-trailer trucks loaded with soda. Over 6000 people spontaneously joined from around the country. There have been over half a million visits to the website from 189 countries. Hundreds of churches from around the country have called to participate and build programs for their own congregations.
The program is based on functional medicine — a way of treating chronic disease through lifestyle-based systems solutions. It is the science of creating health, not treating specific diseases. Disease goes away as a side effect of creating health. That delivered within small groups via The Daniel Plan was the lever that moved mountains — of donuts, ribs, soda and more!
Not only were there estimated weight reductions of 250,000 pounds but also equal reductions in medication use, hospitalizations, and doctor's visits. And it was free.
The Daniel Plan: Community Is the Cure
In a survey after 10 months of the program, participants reported the following:
- An average weight loss of 13.5 pounds (18 pounds for those who said they followed the program closely)
- 72 percent of those who wanted to lose weight did
- 53 percent reported increased energy levels
- 34 percent reported better sleep
- 27 percent reported improvement in blood work
- 20 percent reported improvement in blood pressure
- 11 percent reported reduction in medications
- 31 percent reported improvement in mood
Those who did the plan together lost twice as much weight as those who did it alone.
Chiquita Seals lost 125 pounds and Kendall Rock reversed his diabetes. Others got off their insulin, heart disease, and diabetes medications.
Here was the big insight for me: the community is the cure and the group is the medicine.
We created an interactive curriculum delivered through online education, videos, articles, recipes, and webinars, all done in small groups and community events. We did this at Saddleback by changing what was served at Bible breakfasts, the menus in the Refinery (the student ministry facility), and even in people's homes.
We didn’t treat disease. We didn’t create a weight-loss program. We taught people self-care. Combining that with caring for each other, they created a small miracle – something health care or health care reform has not been able to achieve.
This is the seed of a bigger possibility. In our own communities, we can support each other to take back our health.
An old African proverb says that if you want to travel swiftly, travel alone, but if you want to travel far, travel together.
My personal hope is that together we can create a national conversation about a real, practical solution for the prevention, treatment, and reversal of our diabesity epidemic.
To your good health,

Trim artichokes and rub cut edges with lemon.
In a medium pot, cover artichokes with water, add 1 tablespoon salt, slice of lemon, and boil for 20 minutes. Remove from water and let cool.
In a small pot, bring to boil the smashed garlic clove, butter, broth and salt. Remove from heat and pour in couscous. Let stand 10 minutes. Fluff with fork. Set aside. You'll have more than you need for this recipe. Leftover couscous reheats very nicely.
While you are making the couscous, gently spread artichoke leaves apart. With a teaspoon, scrape out the middle “choke” part. Sprinkle artichoke all over with salt, making sure to get in between leaves.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine minced garlic, parsley, lemon zest, salt, pepper, peas, ½ cup cheese, and 1 cup cooked couscous. Taste for salt, and add more if necessary.
Working with one artichoke at a time, stuff ½ cup couscous mixture into center and between the leaves. Place in a small baking dish. Repeat with next artichoke. Drizzle with olive oil.
Add 1/4 cup boiling water to the dish. Tightly wrap baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until bottom of artichoke can be easily pierced with a knife.
When done, remove foil and sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Increase heat to broil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown on top.
Divide melted butter among two dipping bowls. Add a few squeezes of lemon juice, (and a dash of Sriracha!) if desired. Pull off leaves, dip in butter, and go to town!

The reason for Diabetes in India can be attributed to primarily obesity followed by high blood pressure, sedentary lifestyle, and uncontrolled Sugar intake.
Based on IDF report (International Diabetes Federation) 415 million people in the world suffer from Diabetes. 69 million or 16% of the world Diabetics are from India. The number is expected to double in the next two decades. It is believed from 1980 to 2015 the number of people diagnosed in India with Diabetes have increased 6x times from approx. 11 million to 69 million.
Diabetes is a lifelong disease marked by high level of sugars. The number of diabetic patients is rising at an alarming rate. Diabetes is caused by two major reasons namely lack of insulin production in the body and increase in blood sugar level of the body.
The most relevant Diabetes in India is Type 2 Diabetes that puts an estimated 133 million people at risk by 2030.
The major Reason for Diabetes in India are:
The absence of exercise that results in obesity has been attributed as the leading cause of Diabetes across all studies. Based on WHO guidelines at-least 30 minutes of physical activity is required everyday. Additionally, 30 minutes of activity reduces the chances of Diabetes by almost 30%.
Uncontrolled Sugar Intake
If we can handpick any single food item that results in obesity that further results in Diabetes it has to be Sugar. Based on the WHO recommendation we DO NOT REQUIRE SUGAR in our diet. Based on a WHO report, In 2014 39% (1 in 3 adults) of worldwide adults aged 18 and over were overweight. If we pick one ingredient common across the obesity spectrum it has to be sugar.
Based on research in ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) fast foods may be a leading cause for Diabetes in population centre’s. Furthermore, Fast Foods are high in fat and calorie rich. These foods are easily available at numerous food joint across urban areas.
Procrastination increases Diabetes complications across India. Additionally, increase in awareness among people across demographics and geographies can assist in diagnosis. Moreover, better access to treatment can assist to overcome the hurdle in postponed Diabetes diagnosis.
Multiple research reports have mentioned sedentary or motionless lifestyle is one of the leading causes of Diabetes across the country. Compared to previous decades the current decade has more people than ever working in professions that do not require any physical labour.
High Blood Pressure
The probability to be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes increases due to High Blood Pressure. Additionally, the major risks causing higher blood pressure are smoking, sedentary lifestyle, high fat and salt in daily diet, stress, and other diseases such as thyroid.
Excess Alcohol Intake
Excess alcohol can decrease the blood sugar level to dangerous levels. Moreover, alcohol stimulates your appetite that causes you to overeat. Additionally, excess calories in alcohol can make it difficult to lose weight resulting in Diabetes.
Beta Cell Damage
Beta cells are present in the pancreas; therefore; diseases such as Cancer may stop Beta cells from functioning and conclusively lead to Diabetes. In rather rare situations our own immune system may observe the Beta cells as antigens. Furthermore, the body would build antibodies to consume them.
In conclusion, the reason for Diabetes in India can be attributed to obesity, high blood pressure, uncontrolled Sugar Intake, and poor diet and lifestyle choices.

The “customers” asking questions of employees at a jewelry store in Plantation were a set up — distracting them so an accomplice could steal valuables.
Plantation police Thursday released surveillance video of the crime that happened shortly before 1 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 2, at Kay Jewelers inside the Westfield Broward mall, 8000 W. Broward Boulevard.
Five criminals were in on the job, according to police. They went into the store separately and began asking workers questions about random pieces of jewelry, investigator said.
As the workers answered questions, one man slipped into the manager’s office where he went into a large safe and grabbed jewelry along with a key to get into display cases on the sales floor.
After leaving the manager’s office, the video shows the thief using the key to open a jewelry case and take items as unsuspecting customers stroll through the store.
Police have not disclosed the value of the items that were taken.
Investigators ask anyone with information about this crime or the identities of those who took part to contact Broward County Crimes Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-8477 or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org.

Victory Gardens Returning in Force
An article from the Financial Times:
Americans are turning in increasing numbers to their back yards to save money, with leading US seed merchants reporting a dramatic surge in early sales of carrots, tomato and pepper plant seeds.
George Ball, chairman of W. Atlee Burpee, which sells directly to gardeners and via retailers such as Home Depot, told the Financial Times that sales of vegetable seeds had grown 20-30 per cent this year.
The increase, he said, follows a similar jump in sales last year, and compares with previous annual growth levels of about 12 per cent.
Mr Ball said belt-tightening and economic concerns were the dominant factors driving demand, which had been stimulated last year by the high cost of petrol, and food safety concerns, following a scare over contaminated store-bought salad greens.
Richard Chamberlain, president of Harris Seeds, which supplies both commercial growers and gardeners, estimated that sales of seeds to gardeners were up by 50 per cent this year, with the company seeing a surge in first-time customers on its website.
“You’ll be seeing people digging over their lawns and planting vegetables,” he said

Mack announces price increase
LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. — Mack Trucks says it will institute a two per cent price increase on July 1 that will cover all models in the Mack product line.
The company says the increase is intended to ensure that the Mack dealer network, which like the rest of the industry has experienced a severe drop in new truck sales, is able to maintain the profitability level necessary to deliver the quality service and support required by Mack customers.
“This is an extraordinary step, but one driven by extraordinary circumstances,” explains Mack president and chief executive officer Michel Gigou. “A combination of external and internal factors have rocked the entire trucking industry, and we’ve reached the point where pricing relief is essential.”
U.S. retail sales of heavy-duty vehicles were down 40 percent in the first four months of 2001, with Mack sales down 29 percent in the same period.
In response to declining demand, Mack has announced a series of reductions at its manufacturing plants, and the elimination of about 700 positions by the end of July.
Global deliveries from Mack through April totaled 8,812 vehicles, down 35 per cent from the 13,603 units delivered during the same period last year. In North America things are slightly worse with Mack delivering 8,256 versus 13,285 last year at this time — a drop of 38 per cent.

Bill Pushed By NC Republican Lawmakers Will Make Teachers’ Jobs Harder
At a time in which many North Carolinians are recovering from the financial impact of COVID-19, Republicans lawmakers are prioritizing legislation that aims to censor how educators teach American history to North Carolina’s school children.
The Republican-backed House Bill 342, is one of over 22 censorship bills across the country that are a part of a well-funded, coordinated effort happening in Republican-led legislators. The bill is not in reaction to any teachings happening inside of North Carolina schools, but rather another tactic by Republicans to undermine North Carolinians while refusing to acknowledge the needs of the people.
- For decades, Republicans have failed to provide adequate and equitable funding to school districts, give educators a living wage and adhere to the state’s constitution in providing North Carolina students with a “sound basic education”.
- Most notably, Sen. Phil Berger has been doing his best to destroy public education in the state, from pre-k through college. Through years of budget cuts, refusal to increase teacher pay, and diverting money from public schools to almost entirely unaccountable private schools and religious academies, Berger and Republicans have blocked NC children from having a well-resourced education.
- House Bill 342, is yet another distraction by Republicans to ignore their failures and avoid their constitutional duty in making significant investments needed to support our public schools.
After more than a year of unimaginable challenges for educators and students, Republicans are now more interested in fueling division instead of addressing the real needs of our students, schools and communities.
With millions in federal aid and billions in unreserved state funds, the opportunity to make once-in-a-generation investments in our state is now — yet, Republicans are attempting to sidestep parents and educators in blocking our children’s and future generation’s opportunity to build a country that we want.
It seems that Republicans have forgotten that loving America and what it stands for means learning about our history, both good and bad. If we censor our history, we will never live up to our ideals of liberty and justice for all.
The same Republicans who are ignoring the needs of investing in our state’s public education, are the same politicians who repeatedly stripped away Black and Brown North Carolinians right to vote, racially gerrymandered our electoral districts and are now attempting to block our students from having an education they deserve.
Through the Republican’s racialized fear mongering, they are doing North Carolina students and future North Carolinians a disservice by censoring education that imparts honesty about who we are, integrity in how we treat others, and courage to do what’s right.

Sources of Revenue:
A New Program
Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The new program will create an exotic animal act and establish regulatory requirements relating to importation, ownership and possession of exotic animals. This act will be administered by the Division of Natural Resources, the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Public Health. The fee for the proposed permit will be established in legislative rules. The DNR shall retain 50 percent of the fee. The remaining 50 percent shall be distributed to the county humane officer, animal control officer or the county sheriff.
The revenue generated by this bill is unknown at this time because one purpose of the bill is to identify the number and location of exotic animals facilities throughout the state.
Three positions will need to be created to comply with the regulations. Estimates for personal services are for funding salaries and benefits for a Veterinarian, Office Assistant, Natural Resources Police Officer Sergeant and costs associated with NR Police Officer field work.
Fiscal Note Detail
|Effect of Proposal
|1. Estmated Total Cost
|Repairs and Alterations
|2. Estimated Total Revenues

At full implementation Current Expenses of $25,000 for gasoline and other operating expenses.

It is a good idea to have renters insurance if you do not own your home. Many people may not be aware of this useful insurance when they rent an apartment or home. If you have valued possessions and those items are damaged, or in some cases, stolen, then renters insurance can help you recover some of the losses.
The agents at Asheville Insurance Center of Asheville, NC can help you understand what kind of policy you may need as a renter. Here are some questions to ask about renter’s insurance.
Does my landlord’s insurance cover my possessions?
Your landlord likely has homeowners insurance, but this only covers the building and structures. Your possessions are not covered under their policy.
Are injuries covered with renters insurance?
Typically, renters insurance will cover medical and legal expenses from injuries to others inside your dwelling in the event it is taken to court.
Will renters insurance cover my possessions fully?
Not exactly. There are limits to this type of insurance and how much you will be able to recover based on the type of item and overall coverage. High dollar items such as jewelry and collectibles that will have limits on how much will be paid out in the event of a loss.
Can I calculate the value of my items?
Yes, there are apps and websites available now to find the worth of your items to log and track their value. These can be extremely useful in the event of a disaster where you suffer damage and loss of possessions.
Does renters insurance only cover possessions?
Some renters insurance will help with lodging in the event of a disaster where you are displaced and in need of housing. It is best to speak with an agent about your particular policy.
If you are in need of quality renters insurance contact us at Asheville Insurance Center of Asheville, NC. Our representatives will be happy to schedule an appointment to discuss your options for coverage.

What is Love?
Valentine’s Day is associated with expressions of love. I suspect that many people have an incomplete picture of what love is. There are at least 3 major categories or levels of love. Apparently the Greek language of the New Testament used 3 different words to identify these 3 kinds which the English language lumps together under one word – love.
“Agape” love is a decision, an act of the will. It does not ask for merit in the person being loved. It simply is based on a decision to do what is best for the other person whether they deserve it or not. This is the kind of love God has for people.
“Philos” love is sometimes a duty, an action based on obligation, but more often based on kinship. It is most easily noticed in a family setting where you stick up for your brother, sister, cousin, child, or parent because you are related. It is kindness extended to someone who belongs to your group even if they sometimes irritate you. It is also known as brotherly love or the love for a friend.
“Eros” love is motivated by desire and is chiefly centered on sexual attraction. It easily degenerates into a self-centered action. In its most ugly form we see abuse and rape. In its most positive form it expresses a beautiful picture of sincere love and ensures the propagation of the species.
There is a place for all three, an important place. Unfortunately, the last definition is the most prevalent one and the first is seldom achieved by us. We have reversed the order of importance.
May your Valentine’s Day, and mine, at least show some true love.
