Support Team Grace for the Cure!

Our team is walking to end type 1 diabetes (T1D).

When you have T1D, your body stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. Managing the disease is a constant struggle that involves monitoring your blood-sugar level, administering insulin, and carefully balancing these insulin doses with your eating and activity just to stay alive.

With T1D there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope.

Proposed Federal Rule Could Undermine California’s Eco-Friendly Laws

Proposed Federal Laws Could Negatively Impact California’s Eco-Friendly Laws

www.AdrianasInsurance.com

On August 02, 2018, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice of proposed rulemaking called the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026, Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (SAFE Vehicles Rule). This proposed rule is designed to reconfigure national automobile fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards by suspending previously established anti-pollution manufacturing restrictions for automobiles. While the SAFE Vehicles Rule hasn’t yet been ratified as official policy, if approved, it would ultimately deprive individual states of the prerogative to maintain tailpipe pollution standards which are stricter than the federal government’s – a scenario that would drastically impede nationwide eco-friendly auto-manufacturing.

Opponents of the SAFE Vehicles Rule argue that it is detrimental to the cause of environmental conservation. This is because the rule essentially absolves automakers of the obligation to produce fuel-efficient cars, thereby encouraging them instead to abandon eco-friendly engineering practices. For example, previous regulations direct automakers to amplify the fuel economy of passenger vehicles to an average of 54 miles per gallon by 2025. Under the SAFE Vehicles Rule, this objective to work towards improving fuel-efficiency will no longer be prioritized. The rule will also eliminate mandatory requirements that automakers dedicate resources to develop greener vehicles such as electric cars and hybrids.

If any of the changes proposed by the SAFE Vehicles Rule sound objectionable to you, there is still an opportunity to make a difference on the final version of this proposed regulation. Full-text of the rule itself is available on the EPA’s website, and the rule has also been tabled for public comment via www.regulations.gov (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0283). The EPA and NHTSA will hold joint public hearings on this rule in Washington D.C., Detroit, MI and Los Angeles, CA. Dates and locations for these hearings will be announced in supplemental Federal Register Documents by each of these agencies. If you care about breathing clean air and creating a safer environment for futu! re generations, take a stand and make your voice heard. We each have an important part to play when it comes to conserving our planet.

For Immediate Release: Hall of Fame Boxer and 1968 U.S. Olympian – Armando “The Man” Muniz – to be Honored by the City of Montebello

 

Hall of Fame Boxer and 1968 U.S. Olympian, Armando “El Hombre” Muniz, will be honored by the City of Montebello, California on Wednesday, July 25th @ 6:30 pm, in the Council Chambers at the Montebello City Hall, during its regularly scheduled City Council Meeting, in a resolution set forth by Mayor Pro Tem, Jack Hadjinian:

Armando “The Man” Muniz, is known in boxing circles as “The People’s Champ”, a sentiment widely shared as Armando, in 1975, traveled to Acapulco, Mexico to fight the legendary Welterweight Champion, Jose “Mantequilla” Napoles, and although battering Napoles the entire fight and the referee stopping the fight to spare Napoles further punishment, would raise Napoles’ hand in victory, after being called to the corner by WBC President, Jose Sulaiman, who ordered him to declare Napoles the victor, to the benefit of Napoles and the World Boxing Council. The disgraceful outcome would be known as the “greatest robbery in boxing history” and Muniz would be known thereafter as the “People’s Champ”.

Muniz, a member of the 1968 Olympic Boxing Team and NABF Welterweight Champion, would fight for the world title 4 times; his last fight was a loss to legend Sugar Ray Leonard.

Armando Muniz is one of the few professional boxers in history to also have earned a college degree. Armando is a graduate of UCLA and would later earn his teaching credential, finally retiring from teaching in the Jurupa Valley School District after many years of public service.

Nearly 15 years ago, Armando founded the Jurupa Valley Boxing Club in Rubidoux, California, to allow at-risk youth and community residents at-large, the opportunity to learn the art and skills of boxing.

http://jvbc.net

Armando Muniz’ life after boxing included cameo roles in the hit ABC sitcom “Taxi” – role in the 1988 feature film “Midnight Run”, as well as spokesperson roles for Schlitz and Stroh’s Brewing Companies.

Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Armando was raised in Montebello, California and attended it’s primary, elementary and junior high schools there, while earning a reputation as a world-class boxer and Olympic hopeful.

In 1968, Armando Muniz would be a teammate of the legendary George Foreman in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, representing the United States Army.

A legendary figure at the storied Olympic Audtorium, Armando is known for being an East Los Angeles fan favorite and boxing legend.

5 Signs you Might be a High-Risk Driver

Getting car insurance should be a straightforward process. It should be as simple as finding the right provider, signing a bit of paperwork, and going about the rest of your day assured of coverage that adequately protects your interests. For many people though, signing up for auto insurance is a complicated nightmare. This is because most insurance companies go to great lengths in order to avoid people classified as high-risk drivers. There are countless drivers who struggle to find even the most basic coverage purely because of getting stuck with this unfortunate label. But what exactly is a high-risk driver?

High-Risk Drivers Explained

The term high-risk driver sounds like a stigma that only applies to dangerous drivers, but it actually affects people from all walks of life. Simply defined, high-risk drivers are licensed drivers who have an increased probability of filing an insurance claim on their vehicle. All it takes for someone to become a high-risk driver therefore is to create the impression that they are more likely to file a claim than then the average licensed driver. As you can imagine, this could happen for plenty of reasons beyond a blemished driving record. The five most popular reasons why drivers become high-risk are:

1. Traffic Violations: Any formal Vehicle Code violations on a person’s traffic record immediately designates them as a high-risk driver. Such violations can include DUI convictions, speeding, driving without a license, collisions, hit-and-run incidents and many more.

2. Lack of Experience: Regardless of age, any newly licensed driver is more likely to be classified as high-risk. This is because inexperienced drivers are statistically susceptible to end up in collisions or other undesirable traffic incidents.

3. Becoming a Senior Citizen: Elderly drivers are typically classified as high-risk because of the health complications associated with aging. The older people get, the more deteriorating health interferes with their ability to operate vehicles.

4. Lapses in Coverage: Going without insurance for extended periods of time while you own and drive a vehicle isn’t just dangerous, it’s against the law. Doing this has a significant impact on a driver’s reputation and immediately compels insurance companies to assume that an applicant is high-risk.

5. Driving High-End Cars: People who own expensive or high-performance vehicles are usually considered high-risk because of the potential costs of insuring their cars. Sports cars cost a lot of money either o repair or replace. This makes them challenging to provide coverage for.

If you happen to fall under the category of high-risk drivers, there’s no need to despair. This is because regardless of the circumstances a driver might be in, being high-risk is always temporary. The vast majority of high-risk drivers are perfectly capable of building reliable reputations. All it takes is finding the right insurer, and developing an incident-free driving record over time.

BUREAU OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION SETTLES WITH TRITON MANAGEMENT GROUP

Triton Did Not Properly Disclose Terms and Conditions of Certain Loan Products, and Failed to Disclose Finance Charges in Advertisements

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) today announced a settlement with Triton Management Group, Inc., a small-dollar lender that operates in Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina under several names including “Always Money” and “Quik Pawn Shop.”

As described in the consent order, the Bureau found that Triton violated the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the disclosure requirements of the Truth in Lending Act by failing to properly disclose finance charges associated with their auto title loans in Mississippi. The Bureau also found that Triton used advertisements that failed to disclose the annual percentage rate and other information required by the Truth in Lending Act.

Under the terms of the consent order, Triton and its subsidiaries are barred from misrepresenting the costs and other terms of their loans and must return unlawful fees paid by consumers. The order enters a judgment of $1,522,298 against Triton, which represents the undisclosed finance charges consumers paid on their Triton loans. As explained in the order, full payment of this amount is suspended subject to Triton’s paying $500,000 to affected consumers.

The consent order filed today is available at: https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/bcfp_triton-management-group_consent-order_2018-07.pdf
