Michele Redman
Head Coach
Michele Rutt
Assistant Coach
Tom Lehman Practice Facility
Michele Redman begins her eighth season as the head coach of the University of Minnesota women's golf program. Redman officially joined the "U" family in August of 2011.
Redman has provided the team with an influx of young talent in recent seasons. Last year, two Gopher freshmen in Joanne Free (76.58) and Grace Kellar (76.88) ranked among the top-five debut seasons in program history, placing fourth and fifth, respectively. The team's veterans have also made their mark, with senior Sabrine Garrison leading the team with a 75.19 scoring average, placing seventh at the Big Ten Championships and wrapping up her career one-hundredth of a stroke off the program record (75.52). In 2017, senior Emie Peronnin posted the eighth-best season average (75.00) in school history as she finished third at the Big Ten Championship and earned an NCAA regional berth. The Gophers have continued their outstanding work in the classroom, earning three WGCA All-American Scholar awards in 2018 while also receiving the NCAA APR Public Recognition Award.
Redman was also instrumental in helping secure funding for the Gophers' new indoor practice facility, slated to open in late 2018.
In 2015-16, Redman's team just missed a spot in the NCAA regional field, finishing the year with a Golfstat ranking of 60th. The Gophers saw several records fall including the lowest single-season scoring average in program history (Heather Ciskowski, 73.93) and the lowest 54-hole score in school history (Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown, 851 [-13]). Redman guided the team to three top-10s and eight top-20 individual finishes. Off the course, the Gophers succeeded in the classroom with the highest team GPA in program history and perfect multi-year and single-year APR scores of 1000, earning an NCAA APR Public Recognition Award
In 2014-15, Redman helped the Gophers to two top-five tournament finishes, including a share of the title at the Las Vegas Collegiate Showdown in October. That tournament, the Gophers posted a school-record 54-hole score of 863, while also posting single round (278) and 36-hole (568) records as well. Individually, Redman guided the Gophers to seven top-10 finishes, including a runner-up placing by senior Anna Laorr at the Minnesota Invitational to open the season. Four of the top eight tournament scores in school history were posted by Gophers in 2014-15, while five individual student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. Notably, the Gophers posted perfect multi-year and single-year APR scores of 1000, earning an NCAA APR Public Recognition Award.
Redman and the Gophers put together one of the best seasons in program history in 2013-14. The Gophers' NCAA Central Regional berth in 2014 was just the seventh in school history while the Maroon & Gold finished just two strokes shy of a trip to the NCAA championships. The team also picked up its first win in six seasons at the BYU Entrada Classic last season while the team also hosted the Minnesota Invitational at the Minikahda Club -- the team's first home tournament in eight years.
Statistically speaking, the 2013-14 season may have been Minnesota's best ever with four of the program's top tournament scores including the 2014 UCF Challenge, which tied the school record at 869, as well as four of the top seven rounds in program history. Individually, Carmen Laguna set a new school scoring average record at 74.19 to lead the Maroon & Gold while Anna Laorr, Banchalee Theinthong and Sarinee Thitiratanakorn also posted averages that ranked among the top-10 in program history. Theinthong graduated with the second lowest career scoring average in Gophers history (76.45) while Laorr earned her first career win in 2014 at the BYU Entrada Classic.
In her four years at Minnesota, Redman has also coached her student-athletes to 19 Academic All-Big Ten honors as well as 12 WGCA All-American Scholar awards.
Redman, who competed on the LPGA Tour for 20 years, is a graduate of Indiana University, where she was a four-time All-Big Ten selection, a two-time All-American and the medalist of the 1987 Big Ten Championships.
Redman led the team in stroke average in two of her four seasons in Bloomington and helped the Hoosiers claim two Big Ten Conference titles. IU also competed in three NCAA Championships in her time on campus, including an 11th place finish at the 1985 Championships.
A member of the Indiana University Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame and the National College Golf Coaches Hall of Fame, Redman comes to Gold Country the winner of three Futures Tour events, two LPGA tour events and ranked 27th in all-time career money earnings in the history of the LPGA Tour. She has been a member of four United States Solheim Cup teams as well as the 2011 United States Handa Cup team.

Kids Need Eye Exams, Too
Pedro Gomez OD
Good vision is essential for children to reach their full academic potential. It's been widely stated that roughly 80 percent of what children learn in school is presented visually, and vision problems can have a profound effect on learning.
According to the American Optometric Association, an estimated 20 percent of preschool children have vision problems. Other research shows that 24 percent of adolescents with correctable refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism) don't have their vision fully corrected with up-to-date prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Also, children are using computers and other digital devices much more extensively and start using these devices at a much younger age than children in the past. The illuminated screens of these modern devices tend to be more visually demanding than books and other printed text.
Increased use of digital devices by children has occurred simultaneously with another significant trend — an unprecedented increase in myopia among children in the U.S. and worldwide. These two trends have led many eye care professionals to believe computers and digital devices play an important role in the development of nearsightedness and myopia progression. This makes it more important than ever for children to have their eyes examined routinely to identify and treat vision problems.
Vision screenings are helpful to identify children who already have significant myopia, but screenings aren't sensitive or thorough enough to identify all children who have vision problems that can affect their learning.

When you think Fall you think of crisp cool weather, leaves changing color, and pumpkin spice everything. Unless you live in Florida. Today instead of wearing jeans and a long scarf I crocheted with yarn I have been hoarding I was a pool birthday party for one of Mermaid's friends from school. 20 parents sat in chairs on a covered patio, ceiling fans spinning, in shorts and tank tops watching our little ones play in a 2 foot deep pool.
Sure I have a stack of things that I have crocheted in hopes of wearing them this year but I seriously doubt that I am going to get to wear a single one. I am planning Mermaid's first birthday party where she can invite friends from school. It is going to be in November. Pretty sure it is also going to be a pool party. I don't see the weather getting any cooler in the next 20 days do you?
I have been working on a new sweater for myself. I picked the Daring Duster from the new Salena Baca pattern book. It is the Daring Duster. When I get it done I am going to love it. I found some sock yarn that is variegated blues, greens and browns. The only warning I would give anyone who wants to start the project is the whole body is done out of single crochet. Several hundred rows of single crochet. It is going to be beautiful. I am going to wear it for years. It is going to take forever to make. Be prepared people.
This week Hubby and I have been binge watching old seasons of the Great British Baking Show that we missed some how. Thank heavens someone invented Netflix so we can see all the baking drama that we missed. On the upside I got lost looking for an easy Halloween cake that I could make for us this year. This one is my favorite. If you want to see the ten easy cakes I found that you could actually make check out my post > Halloween Cake Inspiration. One thing that I did learn on my hunt for inspiration – you can put some candy eyes on just about anything and call it a monster.
Have fun hooking!

The Aristocracy of Victimhood
Jonah Goldberg nails it when he points out that "we've turned victimhood into a source of incredible cultural power to the extent that some people, like Jussie Smollett, make a perversely rational choice to turn themselves into victims because they know that if they can pull it off, they'll gain status, fame, and money as a result." Goldberg notes that it's not always so cynical, but The Aristocracy of Victimhood calls out this shabby racket:
"The aristocracy of victimhood can be seen everywhere if you train your eyes to see it (don't get me started on the new push for reparations). And the corrupting power of this cultural shift is profound. Because we're not just heaping praise on victims, we're investing extra legitimacy to their ideas and arguments. If we as a culture want to say that the Pale Penis People can't wear sombreros or cook Korean food, I'll pound away at my keyboard about how stupid that is. But ultimately, that idiocy falls under the loosey-goosey rubric of fashion and manners. If we're going to start saying that victims' ideas are "more right" simply because the people spewing them are victims, then we are committing a kind of civilizational suicide. I don't care if you spent your youth at the bottom of a pit putting the lotion in the basket when commanded to, you're still wrong if you tell me two plus two equals seven.
If anti-Semitism is wrong, it shouldn't matter how bad Ilhan Omar's childhood was. If racism is wrong, it doesn't become less wrong if a survivor of Auschwitz says something racist."
The wisdom of Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"With novelists, names and dates are wrong, the rest is true.
"With historians, names and dates are correct, the rest is false."

Elephant in the mushroom
The French creative agency Les Creatonautes has spent a lot of time and energy this year producing a series of digital collages that combine animals and edibles. The project is a statement that our world is constantly evolving, but the changes are often invisible and, in the near future, they might be disturbing. How will we react when CRISPR and organisms and technologies and societies interact?
Les Creatonautes started the project on 1 January and have been publishing these "transformations" ever day since. Check out their Instagram.Tweet
Turkish joke
A prisoner goes to the jail's library to borrow a book.
The librarian says: "Sorry, we don't have that book, but we have its author."
Reality: On 16 February this year, the Turkish author Ahmet Altan, along with his brother Mehmet and four others, were sentenced to life imprisonment with the condition that they be locked up for 23 hours each and every day.Tweet
The future revealed at PRIMER EU
"The Futures Are Made. But How, Where And By Whom?" That's the working title of PRIMER EU, a "conference dedicated to… bringing together the leading minds in futures design thinking and doing." It takes place in Helsinki on 10 and 11 September and going by the list of speakers and their topics, the future is here but it's not evenly distributed.
Appropriately, the morning keynote, titled " All Future Everything", will be delivered by a futurist, Monika Bielskyte, and she'll be followed by Nicolas Nova and Fabien Girardin, the European half of the Near Future Laboratory. They'll talk about "Design Fiction in the Fake News Era." Topical, that.
Next up is Johanna Schmeer, an artist and designer from Berlin. Her talk has a prize-winning title: "Xenodesignerly ways of knowing." Another designer, Noteh Krauss, from San Francisco, will be talking about "Future Making: Politics and Aesthetics in Kazakhstan." It's all about the "histories, politics, design fictions, and mythologies" of President Nursultan Nazarbayev's futuristic capital, Astana. By the way, he's been president of Kazakhstan since the office was created in 1990 and he intends to keep it that way.
Simone Rebaudengo is a designer based in Shanghai and he's going to talk about YEAST, a future food laboratory that "imagines products and companies that will improve living through food and technology." And then it'll be time for supper, but before the knives and forks come out, Scott Smith of Changeist will round off the talking with a public discussion about "trust in futures practices." Futurism increasingly affects strategic innovation and policymaking and it's good to debate it's validity. Is it reliable. Or is it charlatanism?
It's a cliché to quote William Gibson in these situations, but here goes: "The future is already here — it's just not evenly distributed."Tweet
Defining populism, philosophically
The latest book by the English philosopher Sir Roger Scruton is titled Conservatism: An Invitation to the Great Tradition. He spoke about it with Madeleine Kearns of the National Review in a Q&A headlined "What It Means to Be a Conservative." Snippet:
Kearns: You mention neither Donald Trump nor populism in your book. Why?
Scruton: Trump is an interesting phenomenon, but not an interesting thinker, supposing he is a thinker at all. 'Populism' is a word used by leftists to describe the emotions of ordinary people, when they do not tend to the left.
A Stoic speaks
"When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own — not of the same blood or birth, but of the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands, and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are obstructions." — Marcus Aurelius
Mario Vargas Llosa: Thatcher's revolution
"Mario Vargas Llosa is in good form." That's a good sentence. And it's used to introduce readers of EL PAÍS SEMANAL to the Peruvian Nobel Laureate, whose latest book, La llamada de la tribu (The Call of the Tribe), has just been published. It's an argument in favour of liberal thought and the writer makes his case by quoting seven authors: Adam Smith, José Ortega y Gasset, Friedrich von Hayek, Karl Popper, Raymond Aron, Isaiah Berlin and Jean-François Revel.
This being the eve of International Women's Day, the sisterhood will be quick to point out the absence of women in that list but it should be noted that the interviewer here is Maite Rico and a woman, Margaret Thatcher, had a major influence on the political evolution of Mario Vargas Llosa. Snippet:
Q. The picture you paint of Margaret Thatcher as a brave, cultured woman of deep liberal convictions, contrasts starkly with the image we have of her.
A. That's an absolutely unjust caricature. When I arrived in England, it was a decadent country — a country with freedom but whose mettle was being snuffed out gradually by the Labour Party's economic nationalism. Margaret Thatcher's revolution woke Britain up. They were tough times; finishing with the sinecure of the trade unions, creating a competent free-market society, and defending democracy with conviction while facing up to socialism, China, the USSR — the cruelest dictatorships in history. They were decisive years for me because I started to read Hayek and Popper, both authors quoted by Thatcher. She said that The Open Society and Its Enemies would be a crucial book for the 20th Century. The contribution of Thatcher and Ronald Reagan to the culture of freedom, finishing with the Soviet Union —the biggest challenge democratic culture had ever had — is a reality that is unfortunately portrayed in a media influenced by a campaign from the left whose achievements are few.
When he's right, he's right. And he's right.Tweet
The indispensable Hitchens
What a tragedy that Michael Moore has been spared and Christopher Hitchens has not. The great contrarian died six years ago yesterday and his loss is more acute with each passing day. Speaking once about Moore, Hitchens said: "Europeans think Americans are fat, vulgar, greedy, stupid, ambitious and ignorant and so on. And they've taken as their own, as their representative American, someone who actually embodies all of those qualities." Here's the late, great Hitchens in full flight.
"There is a widespread view that the war against jihadism and totalitarianism involves only differences of emphasis. In other words, one might object to the intervention in Iraq on the grounds that it drew resources away from Afghanistan — you know the argument. It's important to understand that this apparent agreement does not cover or include everybody. A very large element of the Left and of the isolationist Right is openly sympathetic to the other side in this war, and wants it to win. This was made very plain by the leadership of the 'anti-war' movement, and also by Michael Moore when he shamefully compared the Iraqi fascist 'insurgency' to the American Founding Fathers. To many of these people, any 'anti-globalization' movement is better than none. With the Right-wingers it's easier to diagnose: they are still Lindberghians in essence and they think war is a Jewish-sponsored racket. With the Left, which is supposed to care about secularism and humanism, it's a bit harder to explain an alliance with woman-stoning, gay-burning, Jew-hating medieval theocrats. However, it can be done, once you assume that American imperialism is the main enemy. Even for those who won't go quite that far, the admission that the US Marine Corps might be doing the right thing is a little further than they are prepared to go — because what would then be left of their opposition credentials, which are so dear to them?" Love, Poverty and War, Christopher Hitchens (13 April 1949 — 15 December 2011)

Why choose a School College Partnership course?
Studying a college course while you are still at school is a great way to add to your qualifications and to kick start your career. You will:
- broaden your curriculum choices and enrich your educational experiences
- get a flavour of college life, helping you make informed decisions about your future
- improve your application to college or university by demonstrating a range of additional skills
- benefit from our partnerships with business and employers to provide valuable work-based learning experiences
- boost your UCAS or college application
Many of our courses are practical and hands-on. In some cases, you will travel to a college centre to attend for the whole day.
However, increasingly many of the School College Partnership courses are offered as part of the option choices in your school's timetable. Depending on which High School you attend, you can study subjects such as professional cookery, hospitality, computing, rural skills, construction, health and social care (including Introduction to Nursing) and business and finance - all of which are key employment sectors in the Highlands and Islands and throughout Scotland. You will also be taught by lecturers with years of experience in their trade or profession.
Our Foundation Apprenticeships also include a work placement where you can learn valuable new skills and find out what the world of work is really like.
All of our courses are SQA certificated and if you pass, it will appear on your SQA Certificate along with your Nationals, Highers and Advanced Highers.
Find out which courses are available in your area on your Your School's page
What's the difference between Blended, Virtual and Online study
You will see some of the courses described as being "Virtual" or "online". These study methods enables larger numbers of pupils to study individual subjects that may not otherwise have been available for small classes.
Virtual classes use online technologies, such as Google Hangouts, in timetabled sessions and will have a college lecturer in virtual attendance during the class.
Online study is unsupervised and therefore can be timetabled flexibly to suit the individual pupil. It will suit pupils who have a good work ethic, strong self motivation and an ability to work independently.
Blended classes are a combination of online study supplemented with delivery at scheduled times/days.

Quick Auto Insurance
Motorists are generally responsible to have insurance on their car, but the true cost of car insurance is far higher than what you will find from an instant auto insurance quote. Obtaining an insurance quote can be as easy as a phone call to various companies, an Internet inquiry, or talking directly with your current insurance agent.
Personal Information Needed
Getting your instant auto insurance quote requires answering questions regarding your driving history. The agent will need to know the coverage you want. He or she will also need some personal information for any drivers who live in your household.
- All driver's names, driver's license number, birth date, sex, and marital status
- Driving history, for each person, including moving violations and accidents with date's
- Mileage each person drives
- Year of vehicle
- Cost of vehicle
- Vehicle identification number
- Special safety features
There are several important decisions you need to make regarding auto insurance before obtaining a quote. This includes the types of coverage you want, the amount of coverage you need, and researching the requirements in your state. The following gives you some basic information about obtaining an instant auto insurance quote from any company.
- Liability
- Collision
- Comprehensive
- Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist
Liability Auto Insurance Coverage
Each state has their own laws and regulations as to the types and amounts of coverage, which they require drivers to obtain. For most states, the minimum coverage is liability. Liability only covers property damages or personal injuries that are the drivers fault. Liability insurance does not cover damages to your own vehicle if you are at fault and in most cases to passengers in your auto.
Before you drive your auto off the lot, it is important and usually mandatory, to have acceptable liability insurance. In some states, it is illegal for anyone to drive an auto without coverage, even if they have coverage on their own vehicle. You can receive an instant auto insurance quote, pay the first premium, and drive only from the time the liability coverage begins.
Collision Auto Insurance Coverage
Collision is generally a requirement of your lender when you purchase auto insurance, and this coverage names them as a lienholder. This means if you have an accident that totals your vehicle, then they receive payment first. This does not always cover the full price of your auto, even if you just drove it off the lot. It is necessary for you to pay your deductible before the insurance company releases their portion.
GAP Coverage
The GAP coverage protects you from the difference between what you owe on your vehicle and what the collision coverage will pay. This is significant to stress when you obtain your auto insurance quote. GAP coverage is definitely consequential when you purchase a new vehicle. Otherwise, you can be responsible for thousands of dollars and have no vehicle.
Comprehensive Auto Insurance Coverage
Many lenders require you have comprehensive insurance. Comprehensive will pay for theft or damage to your car from vandalism, flooding, fires, and even striking a deer. For most people, this is a standard part of their insurance coverage.
Auto Insurance Coverage for Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist
Unfortunately, it is all too often that a driver does not have enough damage to cover you, your family, or your passengers. In order to be fully covered it is safest to obtain both types of insurance coverage. Sometimes the cost of a lengthy hospital stay can easily extend beyond the coverage the other person's insurance will pay.
There are many other options for insurance coverage. Your agent can give their recommendations for what coverage is optimal for you. An agent will need to ask questions to help determine what company can give you the foremost coverage for the least money. As you are discussing coverage, they will not discriminate in on things like race, religion, occupation, or place of residence.
Thingsto Know about Auto Insurance
As you can see auto insurance coverage is very intricate, so you obtain what you need, while staying within your budget. Being a safe driver does help reduce the cost of your insurance. It can take many years of receiving a ticket or being in an accident before your costs begin reducing. Safe drivers who have no tickets have the ability to obtain the most coverage for the least amount of money.
If you have never had insurance before or have been on someone else's insurance as long as you have no tickets, accidents, or outstanding insurance claims getting an instant auto insurance quote can be quite simple. However, for those who fall into a higher risk, your insurance agent will be able to recommend ways for you to save costs while having the best coverage.
If you have left out a speeding ticket, your quote can be lower initially, than if you remember to tell them that you received a ticket. The problem can be that if you pay a lesser amount, you will be responsible to pay the difference, but they can cancel the coverage.
Additionally, the insurance company can cancel your insurance if they normally do not insure other drivers who had the same problem. Furthermore, the cancellation will make it difficult to get insurance from another insurance company. The information you give does determine your premium, and if the company will consider underwriting the coverage. Some discounts can apply depending on where you park the vehicle, average miles you drive, and any safety features.
Soliciting competitive quotes is essential to receiving the best price possible. Each insurance company has their own underwriting rules and rates. Spending time doing the necessary research can save you hundreds of dollars. However, some websites are set up to distribute your information to various insurance companies so you might not receive the instant auto insurance quote you are looking for at the time.
One More Article About Auto Insurance
What Is Auto Insurance?
Auto insurance is a product that is purchased and also that can pay for damages to your vehicle or others' vehicles in the event of a car accident or non-accident related harm. Each state has its laws regarding the amount of car insurance that each person should have to be able to drive legally. Many different factors influence auto insurance rates, as well. It does not even base on various companies; it is up to the insurance industry to determine what car insurance is and how much each person will pay for auto coverage.
What is car insurance? It seems like a very fundamental question. However, there are many different facets and elements to consider about car insurance that it can get complicated very fast if you're not that prepared for what you're getting in. You need to know how rates are more calculated what types of coverage are available, how much coverage you need or can get, and which companies offer the best auto insurance for your needs.
What Does Auto Insurance Cover?
Auto insurance is used to protect you the individual or a business or organization from financial loss in regards to a motor vehicle. Financial loss can happen due to many reasons, and having auto insurance can cover your losses in a variety of ways.
Liability for Property Damages
Responsibility for property damages is coverage against damage you or a person driving your vehicle with your permission does to someone else's property. Costs can include the other vehicle, utility poles, fences, buildings, homes, businesses, or almost any type of structure your car comes into touching.
Collision coverage usually protects your vehicle from damages resulting from an accident with another vehicle, pothole, car flipping over, etc. Collision coverage will pay for repairing your vehicle, or if your vehicle has damaged in the accident, it will reimburse you for the value of the car subtracting deductible and in many cases other costs.
Auto insurance is a necessity, and this is amply evident from the fact that all states of the USA have made it mandatory to have car insurance on all vehicles. Most of the time, this appears to be a bothersome exercise, but why to wait until you get involved in an accident to find out how taking an auto cover takes care of your assets and you. High medical expenses and lawsuit judgments on the rise make it worthwhile to protect yourself and your precious vehicle with car insurance.
Furthermore, all jurisdictions have made it compulsory to have two auto insurance systems – the no-fault system, and the Tort system. The former type of insurance favor in most states dictates that your insurance carrier shall pay the injury claims no matter who caused the accident in reality. The amount payable is up to a specified limit, and if you are involved in an accident, your carrier is liable to pay for the injury. As against this, the Tort system the injured party will have to take care of the medical expenses from their packet and then claim it from the guilty driver's insurance carrier as recompense.
With the number of accidents and theft occurring widely in the USA, it is essential for every auto owner to buy such an insurance coverage to secure both the vehicle as well as its owner in times of need.
In the USA if you want to have a car on the road you have to have auto insurance. Some states even have coverage minimums where you have to have a certain dollar amount of coverage; usually, this is called primary coverage.
How To Get Better Auto Insurance In The USA
Auto insurance covers accident to a car. The insurance company pays for the financial loss to the owner in return for a small amount of money paid periodically. The amount paid annually is called premium, and the contract you draw up with the insurance company is known as the insurance policy. The insurance company allows you to hold the contract, and you become the policyholder.
Car insurance may not come cheap. However, under unforeseen circumstances of loss or damage to your vehicle, compensation will seem like a godsend. Periodically shelling out lumps of money for protecting your car or cars owned by your business, may look expensive. There could be a tendency to try and cut corners by availing the minimum motor insurance packages. However, even minor car damage is overly expensive; therefore, a minimum package may not give you the extensive coverage at a time when you need it most.
Types Of Auto Insurance In the USA
The most common types of auto insurance available in the US are the Liability Insurance, Auto Collision and Comprehensive Insurance, Medical Payments and Personal Injury Protection, and the Uninsured Motorists and Underinsured Motorists coverage. Most modern companies offer these.
Liability insurance cover pays for the damage you cause to others and their property. It pays for the legal expenses involved and for the expenditure for the victim going to the court claiming damages, within your liability limits. In a case of an accident, the costs of repairing your car are covered by the collision insurance. The comprehensive insurance covers damages caused by incidents other than car accidents, such as natural calamities, theft, fire, vandalism, and hitting an animal.
In a case of the insured person and the co-passenger needing medical treatment for bodily injury due to an accident, this is covered by the Medical Payments coverage. Personal Injury Protection will cover the medical expenses and the wages lost by you and the co-passenger if injured in the accident.
Why You Need Auto Insurance
The primary objective of any insurance is to protect the policyholder and his family against the consequences resulting from an unexpected injuries or death and financial burdens in the event of these disasters. It is a contract between the related insurance company and you, where you agree to pay the premium for the losses that the insurance company will need to cover in the event of accidents.
The auto insurance covers these three main areas:
Property coverage – refers to the damage or the theft of your car
Liability coverage – relates to your legal responsibilities to others whom might in the cause of the property damage loss be incapacitated
Medical coverage – refers to the medical treatments, therapy charges, rehabilitation, lost in the ability to work, or even funeral expenses where there are faculties.
The Work Of Auto Insurance
The auto insurance also protects you from uninsured drivers or motorists. In this case, the uninsured motorists or drivers have no insurance company to pay you for the damage which had happened, but luckily you still have your insurance company to bear the losses.
Protect the bank which had provided the car loan to finance your vehicle. Because if there are any disaster happening to your vehicle, no one will be able to lend or provide any additional money to you to fix the car other than the auto insurance company. Otherwise, you will need to repair the damage made to the car by your own, and this would prevent you from paying for the periodic monthly loan payment on time. The consequences are that the bank will not lend you any more money in the future, with the bad credit standing which you are in at least for some considerable amount of time.
What Should You Look For in an Auto Insurance
What is a car insurance? What will an auto insurance cover?
Auto insurance companies cover you and your passengers in the event of an accident. But it is up to you to decide the level of cover you will get.
Will the damages to your property be covered by the company? Will all the passengers be covered or only your family? What if your daughter was driving your car?
What questions should you ask your auto insurance company when it comes to auto insurance? This article help you choose between the various insurance policies.
Types of auto insurance
Liability insurance, or third party insurance.
This is general the lowest form of insurance offered by an auto insurance company. This is the basic insurance, if you are involved in an accident, and it is proven to be your fault, the auto insurance company will pay damages to the other party.
The cover offered by the auto insurance company is usually set beforehand. These are the maximum amount the auto insurance company will pay in case of accident
For example the agent will agree on a $10000 coverage per person, (bodily injury) and/or $40000 coverage in bodily injury and/or $10000 in property damage per accident
You need to confirm with your auto insurance company what they will cover and what are the limits.
You might be offered a very low premium by some auto insurance company only to realize that your cover is minimal and unrealistic.
Collision and comprehensive coverage, comprehensive insurance and full comprehensive insurance
An auto insurance company will also offer you a comprehensive insurance, as the name indicates, you will be comprehensively covered.
In simple terms it means that if you are responsible for a collision the insurance company will pay for the repair of the vehicle.
But it is not so simple, an auto insurance company will almost always have the final say on what amount will be paid out, so if it is cheaper to give you market value for the car, then they will.
You might think that your car is worth $1000.00 but the real market value might be $500.00. This is not an uncommon scenario. So if the repair of your car are more than $500.00 then the auto insurance company will simply pay the book value of the car.
You must make sure that the insurance company is not in control of the market value of the car, normally organisations like the AA will give an impartial market value.
As with the third party insurance, the auto insurance company will almost certainly limit the amount that will be paid out, but in general terms, a comprehensive insurance will have higher limits.
Recreation Vehicle
A recreation vehicle needs its own insurance, a Recreation vehicle insurance is not the same as auto insurance.
You should not assume that because your car is comprehensively insured, so is your recreation vehicle.
Other Types of auto insurance
Medical (MedPay), Persona Injury protection (PIP) and no fault cover
This insurance will cover you and your passengers medical expenses in the event of a collision.
The no fault cover means that the auto insurance company will pay regardless of who is at fault. This give you the piece of mind that, at the very least, your family and friends are covered.
PIP is often a minimum requirement in some countries or states, ask your auto insurance company what the requirements are.
Uninsured/Underinsured motorists' coverage
This cover, (also sometimes a minimum requirement in some states), will cover you if the person at fault is not insured or is underinsured.
You must ask your auto insurance company what you will be charged in case of such a situation. Normally the auto insurance company should not charge you some extra premiums.
Rental reimbursement, towing and labour
Those 'extras' often given with a comprehensive insurance is often use by auto insurance companies as specials.
So in case your car is damaged the auto insurance company will pay for rental costs, (sometimes only for a few days).
The auto insurance company might also offer to pay for the towing of your vehicle, (not always included).
As always you should ask your auto insurance company what is included in the cover.
The legal requirements.
Most states, and most countries will require a certain level of cover, from full comprehensive car insurance to third party auto insurance.
In most cases it is up to you, the driver, to ensure that your auto insurance company offers you the minimum required. In most cases the insurance company, (the auto insurance company), is under no obligation to instruct you of the requirements.
Tips To Choosing The Right Auto Insurance
Are you in the market for better auto insurance rates? Or, perhaps you are simply looking for a new auto insurance company? Whatever your reason for shopping around, now is the perfect time to request auto insurance quotes from several companies who are more than eager to earn your patronage. In fact, many companies will compete for your business by way of auto insurance rates.
Your first step to choosing the right auto insurance company is to consider the type of coverage that you need. For instance, if you have a less than perfect driving record or past credit problems, you may want to compare auto insurance costs from companies who specialize in giving customers a second chance to earn discount auto insurance. If you own more than one vehicle, you may find that some auto insurance companies will offer cheap auto insurance rates in exchange for becoming your exclusive provider. In other words, transferring all of your policies to one company may result in discount auto insurance at its best.
The next step in choosing an auto insurance company is to look for one that rewards customers based on a good driving record. One of the keys to a respectable auto insurance company is flexibility when it comes to coverage selection and incentives to promote better and more responsible driving. In addition to comparing auto insurance rates and plans, take the time to review the auto insurance company's policy on discount auto insurance rates for those with a safe driving record.
It's important to realize that auto insurance rates vary from one area to the next. For instance, Pennsylvania auto insurance may be less expensive than New York auto insurance or vice versa. Regardless of where you live, however, most will agree that auto insurance is expensive and it's essential that you compare auto insurance rates to ensure that you are getting what you pay for. A good auto insurance company, for instance, will offer various deductibles, competitive auto insurance rates and some type of coverage that allows for the temporary payment of medical bills in the event that you ever become involved in an auto accident. If you are injured as a result of another motorist's negligence, many auto insurance companies will pay for your medical bills and later seek reimbursement from the faulty individual(s). This is a great relief to many, especially those who may not otherwise have health insurance.
As a final thought to choosing an auto insurance company that offers the best auto insurance rate, free auto insurance quotes and/or a flexible program that can be customized to fit your individual needs, simply take the time to shop around and compare auto insurance from more than one company prior to making a final decision.

Turn Based Humor
1994. My college halcyon years. XCOM: UFO Defense consumed me to the point of neglecting girls. It was that good. (In my defense, dorm life is that singularly unique segment of a man's life that provides an inflationary surfeit of ladies.)
With Firaxis (the Civ peeps) handling the remake (releases tomorrow!), we might see a whole new generation of university wastrels postponing coitus in favor of thwarting alien invasion.

Cpl. Bradley Kaye has taken on some difficult assignments in his four-year career with the Marine Corps, but perhaps none were as treacherous as his job in Eugene on Sunday afternoon.
Kaye, decked out in dress blues, was given the task of buying hundreds of dollars worth of Christmas presents through the Corps� Toys for Tots program � presents, that is, suitable for 10- to 14-year-old girls.
The burly corporal was the first to admit he was stumped as he confronted a shelf full of women�s purses at the ShopKo store on Chad Drive in north Eugene.
�I�m not particularly good at this,� admitted Kaye, a heavy-equipment mechanic for the Marines who recently spent nearly a year in Afghanistan. �I am a typical guy. Go in. Get out. Get it done.�
Unless, perhaps, we�re talking about shopping for girls, in which case the corporal seemed inexplicably paralyzed.
While Kaye hesitated over a making single selection in the purse aisle, Eugene police administrator Rachel Anderson, who was helping him, already had picked out 10 handbags, all less than $30 each, and stacked them in a shopping cart the two of them were trying to fill.
�Come on guy, get to work!� Anderson said. �These are on sale!
�Just pick out some purses. These are really popular here. Get as many as you can!�
Then she led the corporal to a rack of hair straighteners.
Kaye was one of five Marines who were given the opportunity to spend up to $3,000 � more on budget inflation, later � in a quick shopping spree at the ShopKo store for the Toys for Tots program, which will hand out free toys next month for children from low-income families.
Meanwhile, in the parking lot outside the store, an array of real fire trucks, police cars and an armored police vehicle gave lights-and-sirens rides to wide-eyed children as their parents dropped off gifts and donations for the program.
�The kids get excited, and the parents do, too,� said Thad Lukasik, a Toys for Tots board member who was on hand for the day.
�We have Eugene here and Springfield, police and fire. And we have some private fire trucks.�
Among the fire truck riders was Joey Rubino, whose 6-year-old face was stretched into a giant smile as he rode a bright red Eugene fire engine around the parking lot.
�That was cool,� he said when the lap was finished.
�We do this every year,� said his mother, Shawn Rubino. �It�s an annual thing for us.�
Inside the store, the Marines finished their mission and Staff Sgt. Luis Jenkins added up the final tab. A handful of cash register receipts, each as long as your arm, lay stretched out on a counter as he tapped numbers into a calculator.
�We�re probably going to go a little bit over,� he said, tapping more numbers.
The sergeant, as it happens, knows a things or two about cost overruns: Turns out the total for the $3,000 shopping spree came out to $4,452.56.
The toys that the Marines bought on Sunday, along with other toys donated to the campaign, will be handed out Dec. 16 and Dec. 17 in Springfield.

Hester F. Lingsma and a multidisciplinary, international team of authors evaluated two existing prognostic models for mTBI in patients selected from the TRACK-TBI Pilot observational study carried out at three medical centers in the U.S. Both models performed poorly. Based on further analysis, the authors identified older age, pre-existing psychiatric conditions, and less education as the three strongest predictors of poor outcomes, as they report in the article "Outcome Prediction after Mild and Complicated Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: External Validation of Existing Models and Identification of New Predictors Using the TRACK-TBI Pilot Study."
John T. Povlishock, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Neurotrauma and Professor, Medical College of Virginia Campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, notes that, "this is an extremely important study utilizing the TRACK-TBI database. This meticulously performed investigation highlights the dangers in assessing outcome following mTBI, emphasizing that other comorbid factors such as older age, preexisting psychiatric disorders, and less education, perhaps a function of socioeconomic status, can negatively impact outcome. This important communication should be considered routinely as we move forward in our assessments of outcomes following mTBI, whether or not these outcomes are framed in the context of advanced imaging, biomarker evaluation, and/or other metabolic/functional screens."
About the Journal

Good morning everyone
Over at the Katzelkraft blog I'm sharing this accordion folder using KTZ 67 and 68 plates.
here if you want to see who's hiding behind the "curtain"!
I hope you had a great weekend; I did. On Saturday I went over to The Craft Barn where there were fabulous demo's all day. I was just going to stay for a while and pretty much stayed until the end it was such great fun!
Andy Skinner was there and I spent time peppering him with questions, especially about the results he gets with modelling paste as mine was not quite working out the way I wanted. At the end of the day he was kind enough to give me this tile he had done to show me the technique. (I realised that I was getting the first part right but it is all in the painting that I was doing differently so not getting the definition!)
Isn't it lovely? Thanks Andy this is going into my special things cupboard for inspiration.
The other thing I really enjoyed is his old metal effect projects. Now, I love paint effects and enjoy creating rusted metals etc using various mediums so last night I played around and using a wooden coaster I tried it out. This is the result, not quite there yet but I think that for my first experiment it turned out ok.
I was also a little bit impatient and should have let things dry more before adding the next layer! But keep any eye out, this will reappear on a book sometime.....
Have a lovely day everyone and be blessed in your creative journey today.

Browns will have zero-tolerance policy with Hunt, says GM
After the Cleveland Browns signed running back Kareem Hunt on Monday, general manager John Dorsey addressed the controversial deal.
Dorsey spoke with media on two separate occasions and said he will have a zero-tolerance policy for Hunt, who was released by the Kansas City Chiefs after the emergence of a video appearing to show him in a violent altercation with a woman.
"We've done our extensive research," Dorsey said, via Cleveland.com.
"He's extremely remorseful for that. I've always believed that if a person wants to better themselves and be a better person, I'm willing to give them a chance. I truly believe he'll be a better man today than he was yesterday."
Dorsey, who spent four seasons as the Chiefs general manager, has made other contentious moves in the past. The year before he selected Hunt in the 2017 draft, he picked up receiver Tyreek Hill in the fifth round. Hill pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery of his then-pregnant girlfriend in 2015.
Hill, who has been selected to three consecutive Pro Bowls since his rookie season, completed three years of probation, community service and anger-management classes, and his case was later expunged.
Statement from GM John Dorsey: pic.twitter.com/TUgoBalvkg— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) February 11, 2019
Dorsey joined the Browns organisation in 2017 and is willing to extend a similar second chance to Hunt.
"I think we're all appalled by it [in the organisation],'' Dorsey said of the video. "But after doing extensive research, analysing the situation, we came to the conclusion that I'm willing to help a man from a second chance moving forward to be a better person. My faith tells me that.''
Dorsey added: "Let's find out what's in that person, and I truly, in my heart of hearts, believe there is a humble soul within that person. He owns up to it, he admits it. He understands the magnitude of it and he wants to prove to people that it was an isolated mistake that will never happen again.''
Hunt appeared in 11 games in 2018 and had 824 rushing yards, 378 receiving yards and 14 total touchdowns before his release in late November.

Beginning October 9, the Greenwich Historical Society is presenting The New Spirit and the Cos Cob Art Colony: Before and After the Armory Show, which, for the first time, shows the direct impact of the Armory Show on the Cos Cob art colony artists. It also highlights the involvement of Cos Cob artists, such as Elmer MacRae and Henry Fitch Taylor, in producing the Armory Show, and brings the public's attention to several of the accomplished Cos Cob artists who have been virtually unknown until now. "This is the first exhibition to illustrate the Armory Show's direct influence on a group of artists, specifically the Cos Cob art colony," says Valerie Ann Leeds, guest curator of The New Spirit. Viewers will be able to compare artists' works from before and after the Armory Show and see to what degree each embraced Modernism as the movement became assimilated into the mainstream of American art. The tightly focused exhibition is comprised of 41 works of art by 12 Cos Cob artists, including several pieces that were shown in the 1913 Armory Show, and enhanced with archival material and ephemera from the Greenwich Historical Society and private and museum collections. In addition to MacRae and Taylor, the show features artists D. Putnam Brinley, Childe Hassam, Ernest Lawson, Carolyn C. Mase, Frank A. Nankivell, Allen Tucker, Alden Twachtman and J. Alden Weir. It also includes influential pioneering artists Theodore Robinson and John H. Twachtman, whose works were part of the Armory Show but who had died years earlier.

Johnny Kerr
Ambiguity is a sustained investigation of Antoine Predock's Nelson Fine Arts Center in Tempe, Arizona. Part II continues where my first project left off several years ago. I felt inspired once again by this marvelous structure and spent more hours photographing, waiting and observing how the lines, shapes and forms changed as the sun moved from morning to late afternoon, revealing new relationships of harmony or tension.
The ambiguous forms, shapes and textures of the almost featureless stucco exterior intrigued me as a designer. I exploited these minimalist characteristics by exaggerating the three-dimensional elements in some cases, and compressing them into two-dimensional graphic planes in others. By observing how the structural lines intersected from various vantage points, I was often able to confuse the visual perception of foreground and background. My pastel color palette is inspired by the building's southwest geography.
Some images have titles that reveal the metaphor or concept that inspired their creation. Other observations did not readily lend a title so I did not try to force it. If you enjoy these images, feel free to share your thoughts as I always love to hear what alternative metaphors my abstract images invoke in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks for Watching!

The Players Club opened in 2002 yet, despite its young age, has staged The Europro Tour nine times and in 2018 we will stage the West Region PGA championship for the 6th time. From the championship tees it can be stretched to 7,100 yards, making it one of the longest courses in Europe, although members and guests normally play the par 72 Codrington layout at around 6,300 yards.
A mixture of links and heath with a touch of Americana, it's quite hard to pigeon-hole. With two returning nines, superb short game area and practice area, the club boasts two other courses with the delightful par 3 Watergarden course set across picturesque ponds and lakes, many have likened it to the Augusta par three course and it is a great inclusion in your golf day, taking about 45 minutes to play.
A second 18-hole layout has been recently added, The Stranahan, designed like its bigger brother by Adrian Stiff, is a quirky 5,500-yarder that gets golf back to a three-hour round. The course is dominated by interesting greens that defend themselves with humps and hollows. All the courses have USGA greens and irrigation on fairways.
Also part of the clubs portfolio are seven country cottages some 20 minutes away in Wootton-Under-Edge. 3 round/2 night packages at The Players Club, Kendleshire, Stinchcombe Hill and Cumberwell Park start from just £149.
