The second episode, highlights Lute’s love of cars, as he prepares to build a model version of the ‘87 Buick Grand National. Lute opens up about his childhood, touching on the relationship with his brother and their humble beginnings in Charlotte, NC. “For me, music, art and cars are one in the same. It’s all about expressing yourself and what you love,” Lute says. Loyal fans will appreciate the introspective narrative and insight offered during the 4-minute video, released today.

The series’ theme song comes by way of Lute’s latest single “GED (Gettin Every Dolla),” whose Neal Farmer-directed video, has now amassed over 1MM views on YouTube. In 2019, Lute teamed up with label head J. Cole, and hip hop phenom DaBaby for the fan favorite, “Under the Sun,” which was featured on the Grammy-nominated RIAA certified Gold Dreamville album Revenge of the Dreamers III.

Personal injury lawyers are civil litigators that represent clients who face injuries or economic harm due to the actions of another party. A personal injury claim can mainly help a victim avail some benefits against the negligent party; to secure the compensation of the damages that may have been caused due to the incident. Now for a victim, it is obvious to file a personal injury claim as their right. Yet, to take the claim further and avail the compensations, personal injury lawyers play an important role for the victims.
But when it comes to hiring a personal injury lawyer, the victim needs to understand the actual responsibilities that they’ll be offering in terms of the claim and its entire process. This is simply because their legal duties are pretty specific in terms of representing their clients. So, if you’re someone who’s planning to pursue a personal injury claim or know someone who would; it’s better to understand what appropriate representations you should be expecting from your lawyer.
Their Responsibilities
Explaining The Process
Going through the process of personal injury compensation is probably new to many, in comparison to the specific type of injury compensation. Other than that, the state to state differences in the personal injury law also make it uncommon for everyone to be aware of completely. That is why, when you hire a personal injury lawyer; their utmost responsibility is to explain to you the details about the process of filing a claim. Along with that, the personal injury lawyer also informs you about what you should be expecting to happen in the coming weeks or months; so that you can be completely prepared for it. If you’re in Texas, contact Austin personal injury attorney.
Giving Personal Advice
Other than explaining to you of your rights and the entire process, the personal injury lawyer will also provide you their advice according to their professional experience. This advice will mainly be based on what you should and shouldn’t do following your injury and case details. This professional advice would be another responsibility of your injury lawyer; that would benefit you to take the claim further. As an example, your injury lawyer can advise you on what medical treatment you can take to back up your medical records while ensuring the damages you’re claiming for.
Deeply Investigating
Another important responsibility of a personal injury lawyer is to deeply investigate your case and understand all the major and minor details. This would help them understand what compensation you deserve (according to them). This way, with the help of proper assessment of the medical details and injuries you’re facing, your injury lawyer would more strongly be able to handle the argument and negotiate for your settlement amount suitably. Although, when it comes to having a personal injury lawyer that would handle your case strongly and help you get better claims, it’s always recommended to go for professional help, especially in the larger cities of Los Angeles, like Pasadena. The professionals at http://usa-law.org/ believe that having a strong understanding of personal injury cases and having more experience in it; makes it far easier to achieve a better claim. Besides, the more experienced and professional personal injury lawyers you hire, the least stressful the whole process of claiming can be for you, right?
Negotiating For A Settlement
Now we mentioned how a professional personal injury lawyer would make it easier for you to go through the entire claiming process, right? But that isn’t all, as a professional personal injury lawyer also goes through the responsibility of negotiating a settlement with the at-fault party; from your side. With the help of the expert knowledge they have, the personal injury lawyers ensure that you rightly avail what you deserve; while professionally and suitably dealing with the insurance companies as well as other attorneys. As a result, personal injury lawyers tend to look at the situation a lot more than just the immediate effects that might take place, and handle it accordingly.
Representing You
Normally, personal injury cases are settled outside the court easily. Although, in cases where the settlement isn’t possible without having third-party interference; taking the case to a trial becomes important. At times like this, (which are also quite rare); it is the responsibility of your injury lawyer to represent you in the court and fight for the compensation you deserve. Yet, since such cases don’t go to the court often; it’s also important to ensure that your injury lawyer is suitable for representing you (in case if the case goes to court)!
When you hire an attorney, you don’t only increase the chances of success of your injury claim, but also secure a better compensation in comparison to what you would have received without an attorney. Yet, since not many are aware of how a personal injury lawyer serves us; it’s better to be aware of their responsibilities and look for an attorney that professionally fulfills them all.
Today, BET announced a partnership with civil rights organization and stewards of human rights, the NAACP, on a four-part tele-town hall series “Unmasked: A COVID-19 Virtual Town Hall Series Powered by NAACP & BET” focused on how the pandemic is affecting African Americans and what steps the community can take to build an action plan for positive change. The first town hall kicks-off on Wednesday, April 8, at 8 PM ET/ 5 PM PT, and will focus on the health, emotional, economic toll, congressional response and how activists can apply pressure to ensure legislation is equitable. Viewers can participate LIVE via an interactive toll-free conference call that will also be streamed at http://naacp.org/call-to-action-program/. To participate via phone dial 866-757-0756 and to join the conversation on social media follow @NAACP and @BET.
“As the world faces unprecedented times and new realities during this global pandemic, the health and safety of people around the planet, particularly African Americans, are at an unparalleled risk,” said Derrick Johnson, president and CEO, NAACP. “The occasion to uplift and educate our community during this pivotal moment charts a pathway forward through uncertain times. The NAACP, in partnership with BET, is committed to rising to meet this moment head-on through this informative four-part series focused on the health, economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the African American Community.”
“As the devastation from the COVID-19 pandemic mounts, BET is developing partnerships and programs to support our community through this global health and financial crisis,” said Scott Mills, President of BET. “We’re proud to work with our long-time partner the NAACP on this important town hall series that will provide comprehensive information for African Americans that will empower and help the community move forward during these difficult times.”
In the United States alone, close to 200,000 cases of the coronavirus have been confirmed. Because of the racial and economic inequities embedded in our country’s infrastructure, the effects of the coronavirus could be compounded for Black and Brown communities. The town hall series will help separate facts from myths and directly address how to ensure that the policies and practices that are born out of this pandemic justly address the health, economic and social needs of all people. The weekly series will focus on issues such as the state impact, response, and what comes next to advocating for your local community to the impact to schools, school systems, colleges, and exposed divisions.
Adult ADHD And Empowering Those With The Condition Featured On “Behind The Scenes” With Laurence Fishburne
Award-winning American actor Laurence Fishburne is the host of the informative show “Behind The Scenes“. The TV program covers a wide array of topics of educating its viewing audience about issues impacting people across the globe. A new episode will feature adult ADHD and how to empower and support those affected by the condition.
Of all of the adults living in the U.S., an estimated 4.4% has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD symptoms may include absent-mindedness, forgetfulness, short attention span, anxiety, boredom, mood swings, depression, hyperactivity, and lack of restraint. While ADHD can feel frustrating and cumbersome for those suffering, it does not have to be. Understanding the symptoms and treatment options available can help one take control of their disorder.
Adult ADHD can improve with medications and non-prescription alternatives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the top options for medication treatment. CBT is a type of therapy that can aid those struggling with ADHD to manage their thoughts healthily. People who have ADHD can benefit from a good night’s sleep, as well, since inadequate sleep can worsen ADHD symptoms. There are prescription options for ADHD treatment, too. The most commonly prescribed drugs to treat ADHD are stimulants, non-stimulants, and antidepressants.
“Behind The Scenes” will further delve into empowering adults dealing with the disorder on an episode airing soon. The segment will feature medical professionals within the space as well as those who are becoming difference-makers in society.
“Behind The Scenes” with Laurence Fishburne is a high-quality television program. The education show has received a multitude of awards for its achievements in TV.

As the COVID-19 pandemic worsens, cultural workers are experiencing mass layoffs, and it is clear the art world will never look the same. In the first hour of this emergency forum, speakers will present ten-minute reports from the field; the second hour will feature breakout Q&A sessions with the speakers as well as a labor lawyer and a children’s therapist.
Art • Work • Place was originally planned as a two-day summit on efforts to create a just and equitable workplace in the art world—union organizing at museums, protests against toxic philanthropy, challenges to institutional racism, and lawsuits against sexual harassment and gender discrimination. But the current health emergency has drastically changed our conversations and needs. This online forum will instead focus on the immediate moment, sharing concrete information and ideas: What is happening to workers at art institutions across the country? What coalition groups have been formed for solidarity and support? What are our strategies going forward?
Confirmed speakers include:
Ian Epps (Art Handlers Alliance) will explain what is occurring at the city, state, and federal levels to support precarious workers, and what actions we can take.
Michelle Millar Fisher (Art + Museum Transparency) will describe the layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts taking place at museums and galleries, and the consequences for unionization.
Kate Zayko, LCSW,will answer questions about the new struggles parents and children are now facing.
The forum will be chaired by Nikki Columbus.
The organizers are reallocating the budget for the planned summit and speakers are forgoing their usual honorarium so that funding can be directed to aid groups and individuals in need. For more information and to apply, please click here.
A growing number of states say their schools will stay closed for the rest of the 2019-20 academic year to stem the Coronavirus outbreak. At Roybi Robot, a leader in AI-powered EdTech and personalized education, they know first hand the importance of AI in connection with remote education and learning.
At ROYBI, they’re already noticing a big shift towards remote learning due to the recent circumstances and headlines. And throughout this all, one thing seems inevitable: school settings, as they stand today, will change. Online and remote learning will be systems that educational institutions will adopt for future emergencies. They envision a future where the new culture of learning begins at home through devices with sophisticated AI technology such as Roybi Robot. Artificial Intelligence allows educators to follow the child’s progress in a smarter way and provides a personalized approach to each child individually. Additionally, it provides a closer collaboration between parents and educators, because it can connect in a joint force to education.
With many uncertainties around the school closures, many educators have already started approaching distance and remote learning in the long term, but lack of personalized attention and progress tracking has been a major challenge for them. The role of artificial intelligence becomes even more significant for a modern world as it can monitor each child individually and provide feedback to educators more accurately than traditional approaches.
At Roybi, they are NOT saying to eliminate school and the classroom. They are saying that to save time and cost, we can be educating children more at home (by the educators) and use AI to personalize the educational experience for each child. They envision a future where they can connect learners, parents, educators, and even their Roybi Robots together while creating an engaging and interactive learning experience.
With the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, the shortfall of supplies and equipment for healthcare workers was inevitable. In this time of uncertainty, New Yorkers as well members of a global society are dependent upon community outreach and government. Leaders like Michael Costillo, Christian Soriano and GAP have taken action by lending their resources to impact the scarcity in surgical mask industry.
As of late, stylist/designer Armon Hayes created a protective mask for 360 Magazine’sVaughn Lowery. Not your typical medical face mask, it was derived from Gucci fabric from a vintage belt bag with velcro stone wash denim straps. Designed out of necessity, fashionable protection is sweeping the market. The idea of a protective mask is becoming a part of our normalcy, inducing creativity during these turbulent times.
