Atascadero Auto Insurance Agent Releases A Summary Of California Auto Insurance Laws


auto insurance Atascadero

Opting for the minimum required by law might keep the cop with the ticket book away, but may leave you open to risk from insufficient coverage.

California requires drivers to be insured, but the laws can be confusing. John Donovan and his team at the John Donovan State Farm Agency, providing auto insurance in Atascadero, help provide a clear understanding of what is required by the State and the selection of coverages that fits their exposures.

This information is not legal advice. If you have been cited or arrested for any violation of California vehicle code or insurance laws, contact an attorney for legal advice.

Even though California law defines the minimum coverage, nearly everyone has circumstances that require insurance coverage that is more than the minimum. Property owners, business owners, individuals who drive thousands of miles for any reason, and household members driving the family car are examples that may require more than minimum coverage.

The California minimum auto liability insurance is: :


  • Bodily injury liability, which applies to injuries you cause. The requirements are $15,000 for the death or injury of one person or $30,000 for the death or injury of two or more people.
  • Property damage liability that pays a minimum of $5,000 for damage you cause to another vehicle or property.

Other kinds of minimum coverage include:

  • Uninsured and Under-insured Motorist coverage protects you in the event of an accident with an uninsured or under-insured driver.
  • Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury paying for injuries to you and passengers.
  • Uninsured Motorist Property Damage paying up $3,500 for damage to your car.
  • Medical Payments Coverage for the cost of medical expenses you or your passengers.
  • Physical Damage Coverage when your vehicle is damaged by another vehicle or something like a deer, tree, rocks, guardrails, a building or a person.
  • Comprehensive covers damage to your car caused by something other than a collision. For example fire, theft, or vandalism.
  • Collision and Comprehensive coverage providing compensation based on the market value of your vehicle.
  • Endorsements and Riders insurance covers equipment such as CD players, navigation systems and cell phones that are permanently installed, towing and road service, and reimbursement for car rental during repairs to yours.

Trying to figure out coverage can be exhausting. Opting for the minimum required by law might keep the cop with the ticket book away, but may leave you open to risk from insufficient coverage. Owning property, investments, a business, or earning a high income exposes you to being sued. Sufficient insurance is protection against these risks.

Your Atascadero auto insurance agent is the best option for protection. It’s worth the time to meet with a qualified and experienced insurance agent. In some cases, the minimum auto insurance required by law is enough for now. But, as life moves along, things change and it is well worth the time to be prepared in advance.

State Farm Insurance has a number of insurance programs to help protect you, your family and your assets, including auto, property insurance, and life insurance. The agents at the John Donovan Agency are ready with the guidance to help protect you and your family’s future.

Learn more about insurance requirements by contacting the John Donovan Agency, or visiting the California Department of Insurance.

Robin D. Harrison’s newly released “Dancing for an Audience of One” is an edifying narrative on using one’s body and talent to worship God


News Image

“Dancing for an Audience of One”: a resounding account that delves into the spiritual essence of praise dancing and its purpose of bringing jubilation to God. “Dancing for an Audience of One” is the creation of published author Robin D. Harrison, a mother of three and a dance ministry mentor who teaches of praise dance or liturgical dance.

Harrison shares, “‘Dancing for an Audience of One’ will give insight to the praise dance minister and those who aspire to dance for the Lord—a greater understanding of who and why we dance. This book will teach and instruct on the principles of whom we dance for. The readers will get a better understanding of dancing for God and not for show. It is my conviction, and I hope that for many other praise dancers that this will be their conviction as well—that we are not entertainers, we are not performers, but we are dance ministers. We are here to reach souls for Christ through the ministry of dance! God is ultimately the reason why we dance; and when dancing for him, we should come with reverence and humility, knowing that he is to be lifted up and given the highest praise and worship during our ministering.

“It’s easy to lose focus when the enemy makes light of who and why we dance. No, you are not dancing for Mom or Dad. No, you are not dancing for Ma-Ma or even Pop-pop. You are not dancing for the coworker you invited or even for the pastor. You are dancing for God, the one who gave his life for you on the cross. All others are what I call beneficiaries and supporters, which are needed.

“However, keep focus on dancing for God first. This book you hold will reveal some things about the dance ministry that you may or may not have known, but after reading this book, you will be able to see some of the tricks that the enemy will play. You will have a better understanding of why you dance and whom you are dancing for. You will learn a few things even about yourself as a dance minister that we all have encountered at dance practice or outside of dance practice.

“Knowing our bodies are temples and are being used to speak to God and his people through movement is an awesome privilege. Dancing for God breaks strong holds, lifts spirits, encourages, rebukes, disciplines, touches hearts, and can make a difference between being lost and coming to the marvelous light.

“This book, although it was written with the dance minister in mind, reaches across ministries and can be helpful to any ministry within the church of Jesus Christ.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Robin D. Harrison’s new book is a tome of overwhelming significance, as it shed light to the uncommon form of worshiping God through one’s body movements.

This book is exemplary proof that there are many ways in which believers can show their gratitude and appreciation for the Lord’s goodness in their lives.

View the synopsis of “Dancing for an Audience of One” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “Dancing for an Audience of One” at traditional brick-and-mortar bookstores or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Custom cases for the Surface X

Custom-fit cases for the Surface X

A snug-fitting case enhances protection and saves space in bags or backpacks.

WaterField Designs, an innovative maker of custom laptop sleeves, and designer bags and cases for digital gear, announces new custom-fitted Microsoft Pro X, Pro 7, and Surface Laptop 3 sleeve s: the SleeveCase™, the Dash Sleeve™, and, for the Pro models, the Vero Leather Laptop Sleeve™ and the minimalist Outback Solo™ sleeve-bag hybrid. With the new longer battery life, people are apt to take the Surface everywhere to make productive use of down time. WaterField’s sophisticated Surface Cases protect these new devices in transit whether commuting, traveling for business, or just dashing off to an off-site meeting.

“Size matters when it comes to protecting a valuable tablet or laptop. A snug-fitting case enhances protection and saves space in bags or backpacks,” explained company owner, Gary Waterfield. “Microsoft Surface devices are favorites among many WaterField customers; we offer them choices so that they can find a unique Surface sleeve or case that feels just right for their use and style.”

Customers can choose materials and colors that best suit their individual tastes. Waxed canvas and leather options lend themselves a rugged look; colorful textile choices add a bit of flair while making it easy to locate the device quickly; a premium full-grain leather option exudes sophistication and professionalism.

A water-resistant, black ballistic nylon or tan waxed canvas shell envelops shock-absorbing neoprene for ultimate device protection.

The Dash Sleeve:

Plush lining and impact-resistant compression foam inside a ballistic nylon, waxed canvas, or Luna® woven textile exterior protect the Surface from dings and scratches in a surprisingly thin profile. An open top allows access to ports for recharging, a rear mesh pocket holds a few accessories or papers, and a snug fit and elastic band keep the laptop securely in place. TSA-friendly.

The Vero Leather Sleeve:

Handcrafted from the strongest part of the hide, the leather laptop sleeve is built to last and develops a beautiful patina over time. An ultra-plush liner cushions the Surface and an extra leather strip along the base acts as both reinforcement and as a grip to ease removal of the device. A dedicated leather slot safely stows the Surface Pen for quick access on the rear of the sleeve. TSA-friendly.

Outback Solo:

Two layers of protection—high-grade neoprene enveloped in highly water-resistant, tan waxed canvas deliver rugged protection. A full-grain, distressed leather flap secures contents with a firm magnetic closure and lends the bag a vintage look. A pleated front pocket holds chargers, wallet, and keys plus a smartphone and a stylus or pen in designated Ultrasuede® pockets. A removable strap transforms the Outback Solo case into a svelte, minimalist over-the-shoulder bag.

Leaders in Wireless Communications Offer New Insights at Education Forum


https://www.prweb.com/

Don Huston speaks on Line and Antenna Sweeping at EF17.

In addition to the short courses at EF20@IWCE, ETA will host hands-on training workshops leading to ETA accredited certification as part of IWCE’s robust conference program.

Electronics and communications professionals with fresh ideas and practical solutions to the challenges facing today’s communications industry, especially those which provide case studies and innovative solutions for communications challenges, will present technical sessions during ETA International’s Education Forum 2020 (EF20), co-locating with the International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE), in Las Vegas March 30-April 3, 2020.

Technical sessions of interest include:


  • Who is Being Exposed & Necessary Safety Training


5G is the next generation cellular network technology. People & advocacy groups are concerned about the Radiofrequency radiation exposure of this new technology. Concern isn’t new; however, it is once again becoming more prominent. Utilities are sharing space on their poles. And public safety professionals need to know what to watch for and how to work safely. This session will be presented by Miranda Allen and Brenda Myers of RSI Corp.

  • Living on The Edge: Building Smart Cities, Smarter


The purpose of this topic will cover two overlapping areas involving 5G and smart cities. The first is to imagine the possibilities of 5G applications and smart cities. How will these networks benefit cities and their constituents? Which real-world challenges must be overcome to make “living on the edge” a reality? This session will be presented by Patrick McNerney of 3D Design & Engineering.

  • Assessing the Effects of Radio Failure in High-Risk Incidents


Monitoring, managing, and maintaining radio communication is paramount to public safety preparedness. Even new communication systems are susceptible to failure due to poorly maintained radios. Most often, these problems remain hidden until the equipment fails. When a failure occurs, it can create a problem that results in radio system managers spending hours chasing down the source of the issue before they can begin fixing it. This session will be presented by Eileen Cole of LocusUSA.

  • Understanding Fiber Basics for Wireless Backbones


The growth of wireless deployment and bandwidth demand means more fiber backbones will be needed. We will review how fiber works, the key components in the backbone and basic fiber testing needs. This is a good primer for anyone working with wireless technology, yet new to fiber optics. This session will be presented by Lee Kellett of Light Brigade.

  • Proprietary Video Files – the Science of Processing the Digital Crime Scene


Over the last few years, there has been an extraordinary effort to equip officers with body worn cameras. Agencies struggle with correctly processing these systems in a standards compliant / scientific manner. After a brief presentation on the problems and the technology, the presenter will guide the attendees through a variety of sample cases to illustrate how fast and accurate processing and analyzing this type of evidence can be. This session will be presented by Jim Hoerricks of Apex Partners, Ltd.

  • RF Exposure Awareness for Communication Technicians


Exposure to RF signals is a fact of life for radio technicians. This class will inform you about the current and proposed laws related to RF exposure safety, how to prevent and minimize RF exposure to yourself and the general public, how to do RF exposure testing and how to meet FCC and other regulatory agency exposure standards. This session will be presented by Mark Pallans of Pallans Communications Associates.

  • Fiber To The RF: Antenna, RRU, DAS


There is a rapidly growing demand for commercial, residential, indoor, outdoor and everywhere seamless wireless/Wi-Fi availability. DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) and Fiber to DAS are providing the potential solution. To get career-ready for this technology, DAS technicians must be familiar with basic theory of RF/Wireless, and in-building DAS (IDAS), and learn about fiber optics and know basic fiber theory, installation, and testing outdoor DAS (ODAS). This session will be presented by Frank Ghassemi, DAS, of Golden Eagle Academy and David Diaz of Innov8.

  • The Importance of Antenna Mount Analysis


This session will discuss the importance of analyzing antenna mounts to prepare the 5G antennas for macro builds, the importance of proper installation of the antennas, how improper installation can negatively affect the strength of the mounts and will reference 5G antennas in terms of how they will affect loading. This session will be presented by Luke Ferguson of Valmont Site Pro 1.

  • Verifying Fresnel Zone Clearance for Point-to-Point Microwave Systems


Clear line-of-site is critical for long distance microwave point-to-point link performance. Even if the path to a remote site is visually clear, the radio line-of-site may be affected by objects in the Fresnel zone, which is an elliptical area immediately surrounding the visual link path. This presentation describes how a battery-powered portable signal generator and a battery-powered portable spectrum analyzer can be used to verify the Fresnel zone clearance. This session will be presented by Thomas Brinkoetter, LAS of Radiositetest.

  • The Evolution of mmWave RF Communications in Future Terabit Optical Wireless Communication Technologies


This session examines the current mobile capacity of the RF spectrum in respect to 5G small cell technology and outlines the evolution of wireless systems to SAT5G/6G and terabit optical wireless system network technologies. This session will be presented by JB Groves, FOI, ITS, STS of Wharton County Junior College.

  • UAS Analytics and Best Practices for Optimizing Drone Data


Data-capture is the core value in sUAS (drones), and this session will look at post-flight analysis software, workflow and interpretation of data. We’ll briefly examine the setup of sensors for best data capture, while diving deeply into the use of software to provide actionable data post-flight. This session will be presented by Douglas Spotted Eagle of Sundance Media Group.

In addition to the short courses at EF20@IWCE, ETA will host hands-on training workshops leading to ETA accredited certification as part of IWCE’s robust conference program. To prepare both entry-level technicians and seasoned professionals for successful careers in electronics and wireless communications, hands-on training workshops that will be hosted by respected industry leaders include: 5G for Technicians, Basic Electronics, Distributed Antenna Systems, Fiber to the Antenna, General Communications Technician, Cybersecurity, Line and Antenna Sweep, Passive Intermodulation, Practical Antenna Basics, R56 Communications Site Installer, and Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation.

The Acqualina Spa by ESPA has been selected as the nation’s best Spa, Il Mulino New York, the sumptuous Italian restaurant, is the perfect place to feast in style, three outdoor swimming pools and of course the Atlantic Ocean in your backyard – living here is like being in a fairy tale

Brosda and Bentley Realtors is a boutique real estate development and international marketing company, led by principal broker Katerina Brosda, providing bespoke real estate advisory services throughout Miami and the beaches. Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida sits on 4.5 pristine beachfront acres and has been continuously voted the best oceanfront resort in the entire country.

Katerina Brosda listed the 4-bedroom 4-bathroom condominium on the 30th floor for $2.5 million and stated, “This is a fantastic entry-level opportunity to join and experience the unsurpassed Acqualina lifestyle in Sunny Isles Miami Beach”.

With its green oceanfront lawns, its own parks, sanctuaries, and its signature red umbrellas, couches and amenities on the beach, Acqualina is a world of luxury unto itself.

“The Acqualina Spa by ESPA has been selected as the nation’s best Spa, Il Mulino New York, the sumptuous Italian restaurant, is the perfect place to feast in style, three outdoor swimming pools and of course the Atlantic Ocean in your backyard – living here is like being in a fairy tale or a never-ending luxury vacation”, Katerina Brosda said.

Immediately to the south of the Acqualina Residences are the ultra-exquisite Mansions At Acqualina – the finest residences in the world and to the north, currently under construction, are The Estates At Acqualina.

Brosda & Bentley previously reported that The Estates At Acqualina are on its list of the ‘4 Best New Condos In Sunny Isles Beach’ with dazzling amenities never seen before. For example, The Estates At Acqualina will have an ice-skating rink directly on the beach.

Ideally situated on a barrier island, Sunny Isles Beach is close to the exclusive Bal Harbor Shops, the chic and expansive Aventura Mall, Gulfstream Park with its world-class thoroughbred horse racing and bustling South Beach is just a short 25-minute ride south.

The Acqualina residence for sale has marble flooring, except for the bedrooms which have exotic wood floors. The condominium has hardly been utilized by the out-of-state executive. It features direct ocean views to the east and city views to the west; 2,750 square feet of indoor space and 430 square feet of east and west balconies.

The listing price and monthly maintenance fees are relatively moderate compared to the new Acqualina-brand developments and other luxury developments in Sunny Isles and Miami Beach.

The Acqualina Residences are extremely kid-friendly, and family orientated. Resident’s safety is paramount at the Acqualina and arriving home is quite the spectacle you have to come and experience yourself.
