Victims of car accidents, unfortunately, have a limited time in which they are legally allowed to file a claim against a negligent driver. The law that determines the restricted period for filing is known as the “statute of limitations,” and it varies slightly across states. The logistics of the law does not differ as extensively as the timeframe in which you, as the victim, can pursue legal action against the negligent driver. Still, it is imperative to be aware of legal deadlines when filing your claim as they preside in your state to ensure that you open your case when appropriate.

Texas’s Statute of Limitations

In every state, as mentioned, there is a specific timeframe in which the victims of car accidents can exercise their right to pursue legal action against the negligent driver that caused their collision. In some states, you may have more time than others to do so. The statute of limitations in Texas grants a two-year period in which victims can file a claim against a negligent driver for personal injury and property damage.

The statute applies to the following individuals who may have been harmed by an auto collision:

• Passengers
• Motorists: drivers of cars and motorcycles
• Pedestrians
• Bicyclists

The law also applies to cases of wrongful death; however, the countdown for the limited timeframe does not begin until the individual has passed.

The Importance of the Statute of Limitations

What is the significance of this law? Think, for example, about the potential of incurring an injury during an incident that changes or worsens over time. In such an instance, you would not want to rush to a settlement, as you would not be aware of the full extent of your condition, and, therefore, the expenses required to recover.

This is often the case with severe injuries that result in paralysis or severe mental health disorders, for example. These types of physical conditions do not develop quickly, and some can take months, even years, to manifest entirely. In each instance, you would want the negligent party to be accountable for the full depth of your condition and all it takes to recover from it.

This takes repeated visits to a medical professional over quite a while, during which time the doctor will supply you with visit summaries and further documentation pertaining to your condition and everything required to treat it. Since this documentation is imperative to the soundness of your case, you want to allow as much time as possible to learn the complete nature of your injuries.

On the other hand, for individuals who have been found liable for the collision, the statute of limitations stands as a measure of protection for them. How so? If a victim did not sustain injuries following a crash, but did end up experiencing physical ailments later on, they will not have the legal grounds then to attribute this later ailment to the past incident. The statute of limitations prevents drivers from being wrongly accused of injuries they were not responsible for.

If you are ready to file a claim for compensation of the injuries you incurred during a recent accident, review the laws in your state to ensure that you do so within the appropriate period.

 

Demand

There’s some great television programs out. It really is the new golden era for televised entertainment. In fact, it’s become so popular that Hollywood’s A-list celebrities are putting pressure on their agents to get more ‘series’ acting work over the feature length film. This has a huge knock on effect for screenwriters as the demand for televised scripts are extremely high. Luckily there’s some fantastic inspiration in the form of ‘Saving Grace’ and ‘Law and Order’ writer Roger Wolfson. Whilst interrogating his work and like so many of this peers, the following three points can account for what makes for a great TV script.

Collaboration

When it comes to making scripts for television, the idea of the solitary writer having his own work performed is out of the window. The final draft is the product of a team of creatives, as part of a sophisticated integrated work flow of departments. A team of writers form regular scheduled meetings and work so closely together; it’s a group effort. Plot concepts and character development are discussed and tested through vigorous writing and sharing subjects. Indeed, writers cannot get too attached to their characters for they will have to collaborate with opposing ideas and the process is a constant negotiation. Learning how to form solid ideas on the spot and how to compromise without losing the essence of your concept is what makes for a great TV writer and in turn a great script.

Flexible characters to story arcs

Having the bigger picture planned and set, albeit not in stone, is vital to a great TV Script. One of the biggest differences any TV script writer will say over working for a feature length film is that the writing is a ‘living organism’ of a project. Essentially no one in the writing department actually knows where their characters are going to end up, so striking the balance between story arc and a flexibility to its character’s part of the discipline in making unpredictable and engaging scripts for television.

The importance of the everyday

In writing scripts that form part of a greater narrative to the production of the story, there is sophisticated balance between the gritty drama and the everyday ‘real’ that provides an authentic experience to the TV show. A script must compliment the vision of the director and the voice of the cast members in how they portray their characters. But there is a discretion left to the script writer to allow for the everyday banality to punctuate the extreme ends of drama in the story. A good script writer will pay close attention to the ‘non-actions’ and inconsequential exchanges in social interactions to portray a reality. Indeed, it is everyone’s aim to make the concept of watching the program as invisible as possible. A good script will have an authentic voice that mirrors aspects of the everyday between the spectacle of action or drama. It also sets a pace that piques interest like a classical composer would do when conducing an orchestra.

Roger Wolfson is one of the greatest TV writers of our era and whilst the name may not ring a bell, you will have most certainly seen and heard some of his big hits like Saving Grace, Law and Order which he did some work on, and Fairly Legal, quite the resume you’ll agree. Roger was speaking recently on a webinar which I watched about the key to creating a great law-based program, which of course streaming services and TV channels are full of. This webinar got me thinking about my favorite genre which is comedy, and what exactly it is that goes into the making of a great comedic TV show.

Consistent

When I was thinking about the shows that have and haven’t worked I was trying to get to the bottom of what it was that went wrong with some, which really looked to be a great premise. Some shows are just terrible and they then fail, that is fine and it happens in every genre. Those which should work but don’t however, they often lack consistency around the comedy which they are creating. Balancing high brow with slap-stick is incredibly difficult to do and many will just tune out if this happens. If you look art the likes of Brooklyn Nine Nine as an example, this is dumb humor which delivers just what you expect, if they started playing around with intelligent humor that loyal fan base would be lost.

Timing

One of the most important aspects of any piece of acting or directing for that matter is timing, and silence is one of the greatest weapons which an actor has at their disposal. As simple as it sounds, there are just so many comedies out there which don’t get that timing right and that means that jokes just go missing. The reason why Charlie Sheen was better than Ashton Kutcher in Two and Half Men was this, and Ashton is a great comedy actor, Charlie just got it better than Ashton did.

Writing

Something which Rpger was talking about in that webinar which he did was the importance of writing and whilst a great many people may not be aware of it, we are all in tune with the script. What he was saying is that many of us will chalk up a star performance from a certain actor, which may only be half true as in reality we are enamored with the writing, and comedy certainly falls into this category. TV comedy is way beyond the bom-bom-cha joke telling that it once would have been, we expect a bigger set up which keeps us guessing until the punchline and that comes down to writers more so than it comes down to the performers.

The key to great TV comedy is an aligning of the stars, a great writing team, good actors who get slow comedy, and an audience which knows what they can expect.

 

For the great writer Pietro Trassi Montreal was a place that he would discuss a lot and having visited multiple times myself, I can completely understand why a creative mind would absolutely love such a place. I first went to Montreal around 7 years ago right in the middle of one of the worst winters that they have ever had, naturally I didn’t get to see much more than the open fire of our hotel lobby, I as determined therefore to get back to Montreal and so the following summer we made a trip to both Toronto and Montreal, and this was when the city really showed off her true colors.

I have since returned multiple times and here is exactly why I keep on going back.

Culture

As anyone who has previously visited a French area of Canada you will know that the culture is this beautiful combination of old and new, a clash of cultures which works in this perfect symbiotic relationship. You can feel this when you speak with the people, when you look at the buildings and also when you see certain scenes, the wine bar and cafe scenes here in Montreal clearly comes from the French inspiration, delivered in a very Canadien way.

Calm

This is by far and away the calmest city that I have ever spent time in and the best way that I can describe it is that it feels like 50% of the population upped and left, except it is always like this, calm and spacious. I love the sense of space here in the city and whilst there may be less people, it operates as though there are more. Trains and buses are regular and of course rarely full, stores are easy to get around and wandering the streets is a delight.

Events

The art scene here in Montreal is a really cool and there are many public events on which you can check out during your visit here. On top of this the summer months are absolutely alive with the number of public events that are on from music festivals to outdoor markets and carnivals, this is very much a city which knows how to let it all hang out and enjoy themselves. Even during the cold winter months this dynamic city is able to react and continues the fun with winter sports and icy events.

Bagels

It may seem rather arbitrary but the bagels in this city are like nowhere that I ave ever eaten before, and I am including New York in that list. There is something about the way in which the bagels are in this city that just blows my mind and I always try to grab at least 10 or 20 to take home with me after I have been here.

Have you been to Montreal before? Let us know what your thoughts were on it in the comments below, did you love it as much as I did?

 

I was chatting to a mate of mine last week who runs a sports website, and we were discussing the winners and losers in the sporting world, following the global lockdown which occurred after the CoVid-19 pandemic. Mack Prioleau has a great site which of course has gone through some challenging months, given that there has been little to no sport to watch. Regardless of this, there have been some winners and losers in the sporting world, who have dealt with what has been thrown at them incredibly well.

Everyone is trying to be on the right side of history at the moment and these are the sports which most certainly will be remembered for doing things right.

UFC

The UFC has been nothing short of exemplary during this pandemic and Dana White and his team have well and truly shown that they are a relentless organization which has the ability to overcome any obstacle in order to keep the show rolling. What is important to recognize here is that the UFC did not just make a decision to keep things going and to hell with the consequences, they have been a shining light for the way in which they have mass tested and kept their fighters and all of the staff safe during this time. The UFC have done things so well that many other sports leagues have been in touch with them to gain some tips.

Football

Whilst it was very slow in shutting down, football has won back some fans thanks to the way in which it has gone about reopening things. It was always known of course that the sport would never open back up with fans, but quite early on it became apparent that leagues could certainly reopen under tight conditions and with heavy testing and regulations on the players. Football has resumed leagues across the world and in order to Meet with the requirements from the next season, they are packing in games wall to wall, which of course comes to the delight of so many fans.

Golf

Of all the sports that you would imagine could resume without any fears for an outbreak of the virus, golf is one which would be at the top of the list. When you consider the fact that golfers have no reason to be near each other, not to mention the fact that they play on a huge open air course, it seems a no brainier that things would continue. In the beginning however there many naysayers who believed that the sport shouldn’t have continued and that the PGA in particular should’ve waited until they got the green light from the authorities. Thankfully the golfing world saw sense and this is a sport which was rightly one of the first to come back to our TV screens.

These are the 3 sports which will have gained numerous extra fans thanks to their response to the CoVid pandemic.

 

Unfortunately at home I really don’t have a private place outdoors such as garden where the dog can run around, so when lockdown came into force I was pretty worried about where the dog would be able to get out and have a run. Thankfully I only have a small Yorkshire Terrier but they still need to get some exercise in their legs. The first week of lockdown I contacted the AV Veterinary Center to see if they had some tips for me and they were most kind in the info that they gave me. Naturally many dog owners are worried about this, and of course don’t want their animals getting overweight, so here is what I have been doing to keep the dog fit.

Stairs

By now my little Yorkie must absolutely despise the stairs because I’ve had her running up and down them at least 5 times per day. To be honest she will follow us up and down the stairs a couple of times per day, but we have been really putting her to work on those stairs, throwing a dog chew or a treat from top to bottom so that she has to get those little legs going. If you have some stairs in your home or to access your home then these can be used daily to help the dog stay sharp and fit.

Using Your Time

People in most places are able to go out once per day to do some grocery shopping or perhaps even to get some exercise, and it is essential that you do so with your dog. If you are heading to the grocery store then take the dog with you, even if you have to go with a family member to leave it with them once you go inside. You have to ensure that you are maximizing the time that you have outside and using it to keep your dog fit as well.

Time Spent

Under normal circumstances you would never have to invest much time with the dog unless you wanted to but given the circumstances it is going to be very important that you spend at least 30 minutes per day playing with the dog and getting them running around the house. If you are able to do this then at the very least your pooch will be able to burn some calories and they can prevent excessive weight gain during this tough time.

Always remember that your dog knows their body very well, they are very intuitive, and if you see that they are looking to expel a lot of energy then help them do it by playing and running around with them. You’ll see right away when the dog is looking to have a good pelt around the home, so just let them go or give them some inspiration, perhaps even some edible inspiration which will get them going, just make sure the treats aren’t too fatty.

 

Businesses who wish to reduce their tax burden by improving their environmental practices now have updated guidance and regulations for claiming carbon capture credits. In the following post, Optima Tax Relief reviews the new federally issued standards.

The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department released new regulations for businesses that seek guidance on the 2018 legislation on carbon capture credits. The publication offers detailed information on new carbon oxide sequestration credits that can be applied when businesses use equipment acquired and put into use after February 8^th, 2018. The legislation allows credits of up to:

• $50 credit per metric ton of permanent qualified carbon oxide sequestration
• $35 for participation in Enhanced Oil Recovery

There is no metric ton limitation for captured carbon oxide. In addition to the new credits, the new law also expands upon the type of carbon qualified for capture. Instead of “qualified carbon dioxide,” the new law includes “qualified carbon oxide.” The previous version of the law limited the amount of qualified carbon oxide capture to 75 million metric tons.

Previous Carbon Capture Credit Guidance

The IRS released Notice 2019-32 after the Bipartisan Budget Agreement was enacted in February 2018. The notice was issued to encourage feedback from taxpayers concerning the details about credits for carbon capture. The new regulations are a response to the comments provided by taxpayers, and are designed to clarify the law’s provisions. The IRS also offered clarification on other areas of the credit earlier in the year in Notice 2020-32. The publication issued guidelines for determining when construction must have begun on a qualified facility or carbon capture equipment in order to be eligible for the credit. The purpose of the notice was to avoid having to provide individual rulings to taxpayers.

Additionally, Revenue Procedure 2020-12 defines the safe harbor rules for carbon capture partnerships. The rules were written based upon those that apply to safe harbor partnerships that receive wind energy and rehabilitation tax credits. The goal of safe harbor is to streamline the process of applying carbon capture credit rules to qualified partnerships. Both the IRS and the Treasury Department request taxpayer comments concerning safe harbor requirements.

Many different tobacco products are available in the market, and most of them are very affordable and easy to purchase. However, not all brands are affordable and easy to use. Many such tobacco brands also have expensive provisions, which are much more than what an average person could purchase. These expensive tobacco are used only by a few percent of their customers. Some companies are older than two centuries and have been doing the work related to tobacco for many years now. These companies have a wide variety of affordable tobacco leaves and products. But they also have many expensive tobacco leaves that have been treated and aged for a long time for that extra kick and experience. These leaves are not easy to find, and you might not find them in most of the offline stores. However, if you look for it with effort, then you can find them in an online store for tobacco. Because if you do and you can purchase it, then you should get your hands on it. Since the experience of expensive tobacco is completely different, it must have it at least once in a lifetime.

There are many differences between expensive and cheap tobacco. However, cheap tobacco needs to be worth buying. Even cheap tobacco will provide you with an experience worth buying for. However, the difference between the two is a lot. Let’s have a look at the major difference between the two types of tobacco, which makes one so expensive and other cheaper but still worth the buy. These differences are based on the type of features it has and the methods used to produce these kinds of tobacco products.

Aging

It is one of the most important factors that decide on the price of the tobacco used in a tobacco product. Aged tobacco is usually much stronger and provides a much better experience. Aged tobacco can range to a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars, depending on the aging process and the time it has been aged for. Aging process sometimes is done by dipping the tobacco leaves in a certain kind of solution that contains multiple components. These allow the taste and aroma of the tobacco leaves to mature over time, making it taste better while smoking. The aging process also refines the smoke and makes it smoother and richer than before.

Blends

Each tobacco company provides its customers with different types of blends. Some companies have age-old blending methods that are not known to all. These ancient blending techniques make the tobacco leaves much better and stronger with taste and aroma. Due to this, these kinds of tobacco and tobacco products are more expensive than cheap tobacco products. Cheap tobacco products are blended with components that are not as costly and easier to do when compared to the expensive tobacco.

Quality and area of origination

The quality of the tobacco leaves is what determines whether it is expensive or cheap. Also, does the place it comes from. For example, tobacco leaves coming from Cuba are very famous and are known for their distinct flavor and aroma. Not all the leaves that are produced are of premium quality. Due to this, companies search and pick the best quality and premium leaves from the lot and use it to age and make better tobacco. Similarly, tobacco leaves are picked for cheap tobacco and used to make tobacco products. Since both the products have the same tobacco flavors, you will still feel a part of the same experience with cheap tobacco.
