{
"question": "What is the proposed action or project?",
"answer": "The proposed project is the implementation of the 2030 Airport Master Plan (AMP). This includes a variety of project elements that would be implemented at the Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport (Airport) over the course of the next twenty years. The AMP includes project elements related to maintaining and improving Airport safety, and maintaining and upgrading Airport facilities."
},
{
"question": "How does the proposed project relate to FAA standards for Runway Safety Areas?",
"answer": "In November 2005, Congress mandated that all airports with scheduled airline service be brought into conformance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards for Runway Safety Areas (RSA) by 2015. The Airport has two runways in a “V” configuration. The approach ends of Runways 14 and 19 are co-located and are not in compliance with current FAA design standards regarding runway ends. This proposed project addresses these runway safety area issues."
},
{
"question": "How were its recommendations addressed?",
"answer": "The FAA’s Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) is a multi-disciplinary group that is charged with identifying means of improving safety at airports. The RSAT prepared a Runway Safety Action Plan that indicates that the co-located approach ends of Runways 14 and 19 could lead to pilot confusion. This issue remains an ongoing, potential risk identified at the Airport. The RSAT recommends that the Airport eliminate the existing condition of the co-located approach ends of Runway 14 and Runway 19 by de-coupling the two runways. Extension of the two runways was intended to address this issue. The Runway Safety Action Plan also included recommendations for modifying taxiways, airfield signage, and pavement marking. The proposed project includes means of implementing or addressing all of the items in the Runway Safety Action Plan."
},
{
"question": "Will the project change the type of aircraft that use the airport?",
"answer": "The forecasts developed for the EIR identify the mix of aircraft that are projected to use the Airport. The forecasts acknowledge that different types of aircraft are projected to use the Airport as a result of the implementation of the proposed project. CEQA stands for California Environmental Quality Act. It is a state law that was enacted in 1970 for protection of environmental resources. It requires California agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and describe measures which can be taken to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible. EIR stands for Environmental Impact Report. An EIR is a document required by CEQA when an agency determines that a proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. An EIR describes the proposed project, the existing environmental conditions, the impacts from construction and operation of the proposed project as well as mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate impacts. Information in the DEIR enables decision-makers, interested parties and the public to evaluate the proposed project and its environmental effects. After the Draft EIR (DEIR) was prepared, it was released for public review for 45-days. The DEIR was placed in local libraries and posted on the Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport website to make it available for review. Written comments were submitted by the public during this period. Interested citizens and public agencies had until September 19, 2011 to review the DEIR and submit written comments for consideration by the County of Sonoma. During the public review period, the County of Sonoma held a public meeting and one noticed public hearing before the County of Sonoma Planning Commission, to allow the Planning Commission and interested parties and agencies to voice their opinions regarding the adequacy of the DEIR. For a list of public meetings and hearings related to the EIR and Master Plan Update process please visit Public Information Meetings. The CEQA process requires a lead agency to respond to each written comment received during the DEIR review period. Each individual comment is evaluated for relevance to the DEIR and a response is prepared. In some instances, a comment may result in revision to the DEIR. The collection of comments and responses together with the DEIR constitute what is called the Final EIR (FEIR). The FEIR must then be certified by the lead agency as adequate and in compliance with CEQA before a project can be approved."
},
{
"question": "What happens at the conclusion of the Final EIR?",
"answer": "After the public comment period for the DEIR closed, the County of Sonoma responded to comments and prepared the Final EIR (FEIR), that includes all written comments received regarding the project’s environmental impacts. The Response to Comments was prepared as a separate document from the DEIR. The FEIR consists of the DEIR and the Response to Comments document and any revisions made as a result of public comments. It was presented to the Planning Commission where they voted to recommendation the project to the Board of Supervisors (BOS). The FEIR was presented to the BOS on January 10, 2012, where a public hearing was conducted and straw votes taken."
},
{
"question": "What are the project objectives of the EIR?",
"answer": "The three key project objectives are to: 1) comply with the congressional mandate (Public Law 109-115) that owners or operators of commercial service airports with scheduled airline service be brought into conformance with FAA standards for Runway Safety Areas (RSAs) by 2015, 2) decouple the approach ends of Runways 14 and 19 and continue to meet the runway length requirements of existing commercial and general aviation aircraft and 3) provide sufficient runway length to accommodate regional jet operations."
},
{
"question": "What happens to the Airport if the project objectives are not met?",
"answer": "If the Airport does not complete the mandatory improvements to the runway safety area, the FAA could find the Airport in violation of its operating certificate. If this should occur the FAA has several options that they could employ, such as 1) fines for failure to meet standards; 2) require the Airport to shorten runways to a length that allows for the 1,000 feet of safety area beyond the end of the new runway length; 3) revoke the Airport’s part 139 certificate allowing commercial operations; 4) require reimbursement of previous grants that have been used to upgrade the Airfield; and 5) a combination of all of these items. Failure to address the decoupling situation would not result in as drastic a response from FAA as the consequences for failing to bring the RSA up to standards, as this is not congressionally mandated. This situation could continue to be an outstanding item on our safety reviews, which could be a potential liability concern if the County does not address the situation. Finally, the FAA could require other alternatives to decoupling, such as shortening runway 1/19. The third primary objective to have runway lengths that can accommodate regional jet aircraft would not be met, and the Airport would not be able to meet the air transportation needs of the community by securing commercial service to points such as Salt Lake City, Denver and Phoenix, as the carriers for these destinations prefer to use regional jet aircraft in our market."
},
{
"question": "Will the EIR explain how this project may affect the natural environment and the community?",
"answer": "Potential effects to the environment were studied and presented in the DEIR. The DEIR identifies and evaluates measures to avoid, minimize and mitigate adverse impacts and describe the potential environmental effects of the proposed project and the steps that will be taken to alleviate them. Environmental review for the proposed project addresses the following resource areas: aesthetics, agricultural resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, noise, safety and transportation and traffic."
},
{
"question": "What is the potential noise impact from the project and what is proposed to mitigate it?",
"answer": "The proposed project would result in changes to three types of noise: construction-related noise, aircraft-related noise, and traffic-related noise."
},
{
"question": "What are the noise impacts associated with these aircraft?",
"answer": "The Airport is currently used by the full spectrum of general aviation (i.e., private or corporate) aircraft. The majority of operations are by single-engine piston aircraft. This will continue to be the case whether or not the proposed project is implemented. The types of general aviation aircraft currently using the airport include: single- and twin-engine piston aircraft; single-and twin-engine turboprops; and the full range of jets from the smallest corporate jet to the Boeing 737 business jet. Airline service is currently provided using twin-engine turboprops. The mix of aircraft types will be identical whether or not the project is implemented, except that regional airline jets would be unlikely to use the Airport without the proposed improvements. Due to the runway extension, aircraft landing from the northwest will be about 40 feet lower than today, while those departing to the south will be about 40 feet higher. The difference in height above the ground will mean that individual aircraft operations associated with the main runway (Runway 14/32) will be slightly louder to the northwest and slightly quieter to the southwest. Except in areas close to the airport the difference in sound levels may not be noticeable to residents. The loudest sound levels will continue to be generated by the larger corporate jets. Although the various models of regional airline jets vary in their sound levels, as a group they are similar to the turboprop airline aircraft currently in use."
},
{
"question": "How are the aircraft noise impacts estimated?",
"answer": "The proposed project would result in changes to three types of noise: construction-related noise, aircraft-related noise, and traffic-related noise. The methods used for describing existing noise conditions and forecasting the future noise environment rely extensively on computer noise modeling. The noise environment is commonly depicted in terms of lines of equal noise levels, or noise contours. The FAA’s Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version 7.0b was used to model aviation operations for the Airport for purposes of identifying the extent of aircraft noise exposure. The INM is a large computer program developed to plot noise contours for airports. The program is provided with standard aircraft noise and performance data for over 100 civilian aircraft types that can be tailored to the characteristics of an airport, as well as a database of military aircraft types. Version 7.0b includes an updated database that includes some newer aircraft, the ability to include run-ups in the computations, the ability to include topography in the computations, and the increased differentiation between different types of aircraft (civil, military, and helicopter). Noise contour files from the INM were loaded into the ArcView Geographic Information System (GIS) software for plotting and land use analysis."
},
{
"question": "Does the model include approaches?",
"answer": "The noise models address the impacts that construction-related noise, aircraft-related noise, and traffic-related noise would have on areas in the vicinity of the Airport that could be affected. Thus, the noise analysis is not limited to Airport property. As part of the aircraft noise model, both arrivals and departures are included into the parameters used in the model."
},
{
"question": "Will the project require property acquisition and how is that handled?",
"answer": "Three parcels totaling about 22 acres would be acquired before 2015 to implement the project. These parcels are needed to develop the parallel taxiway and provide for a standard Runway Safety Area for Runway 14/32, and realign a portion of Airport Creek. The County hopes to continue its policy of acquiring property through voluntary sale by the owner. The sales price for the property is based upon formal appraisals to ensure that property owners receive full market value. Relocation assistance is also provided, if the property owner wishes. Some properties must be acquired for the project to be constructed. If a property owner does not wish to sell, the County will be forced to condemn the property. Even if the property is condemned, the property owner will still receive full market value and be offered relocation assistance."
},
{
"question": "What are the significant impacts associated with the project?",
"answer": "The Draft EIR identified four impacts that are considered to be significant and unavoidable. These impacts are: (1) operational increases in Greenhouse Gas emissions in 2030; (2) loss of Airport Creek wildlife movement corridor for large mammals; (3) short-term construction noise impacts; and (4) U.S. 101 freeway operation for 2030. All other impacts identified in the Draft EIR can be mitigated to a less-than-significant level."
},
{
"question": "What permits will be required for this project to be implemented?",
"answer": "Permits and approvals that would be required for the implementation of the proposed project include the following: (1) General Construction Stormwater Permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board; (2) General Industrial Stormwater Permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board; (3) Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; (4) Section 401 Permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board; (5) 1602 Permit from the California Department of Fish and Game; (6) Amended Airport Permit from the State of California Division of Aeronautics; (7) Approval of Airport Master Plan from County of Sonoma Board of Supervisors; and (8) Approval of Amendments to the Air Transportation Element from County of Sonoma Board of Supervisors."
},
{
"question": "What is the Airport Master Plan?",
"answer": "An Airport Master Plan is a study used to determine the long-term maintenance and development requirements for an airport. The 2030 Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport Master Plan includes a variety of project elements that would be implemented at the Airport over the course of the next twenty years. The AMP includes projects related to maintaining and improving Airport safety, and maintaining and upgrading Airport facilities."
},
{
"question": "How does the Airport Master Plan relate to the proposed project and the EIR process?",
"answer": "The proposed project is the implementation of the 2030 Airport Master Plan (AMP). The project elements in the AMP are the focus of the EIR document that is required by CEQA. The EIR describes the proposed project, the existing environmental conditions, the impacts from construction and operation of the proposed project as well as mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate impacts."
},
{
"question": "What is the goal or purpose of the Airport Master Plan?",
"answer": "The primary goal of an airport master plan is to provide guidance for future airport development, which will provide the facilities needed to satisfy forecast demand, while at the same time balancing the need for airport improvements with local concerns."
},
{
"question": "What is the time period covered by the Airport Master Plan?",
"answer": "An Airport Master Plan typically covers a twenty (20) year time period. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that airport owners or sponsors, such as the County of Sonoma, update airport master plans every 10 years. The previous Master Plan for STS was completed in 1998."
},
{
"question": "What are the components of an Airport Master Plan?",
"answer": "The components of an airport master plan are established by the FAA. They include an inventory, surveys, and data collection; aviation activity forecasts; demand and capacity analysis; determination of facility requirements; identification of issues; development of alternatives and concepts; a financial plan; environmental review/analysis; an implementation plan; and the updating of Airport Layout Plan (ALP) documents in accordance with Federal airport operating and design standards."
},
{
"question": "Why is the STS Master Plan being updated?",
"answer": "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends updating Airport Master Plans every 10 years. The County initiated this master plan update to plan for the safe and efficient operation of STS, while addressing airport improvement needs as well as community concerns."
},
{
"question": "Who directs the development of Sonoma County Airport?",
"answer": "The County of Sonoma, as the owner and operator of the Sonoma County Airport, determines how STS will be developed. The FAA provides guidance in order to ensure that proposed airport facilities meet important safety standards."
},
{
"question": "Does the Master Plan update call for an expansion of the number of aircraft and level of activity at STS beyond the limits that were adopted in the Air Transportation Element (ATE)?",
"answer": "No. The draft Master Plan update does not forecast or call for an expansion of the number of aircraft or the level of activity at STS beyond the limits that were adopted in the Sonoma County General Plan Air Transportation Element (ATE)."
},
{
"question": "How were these improvements identified?",
"answer": "The Master Plan consultant analyzed existing facilities and forecast demand for a twenty-year period into the future. Several facility requirements were identified for STS, including extensions of runways 14 and 19, construction of a runway 32 service road, construction of an aircraft rescue and firefighting building, construction of a terminal, rehabilitation of apron areas, relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower, installation of lights on runway 1-19, and several other projects necessary to maintain current facilities. Several alternative scenarios were developed using various layouts and locations for development. The various recommendations will be analyzed with the goal of maximizing safety and operational efficiency, while minimizing costs and environmental impacts."
},
{
"question": "Was the proposal to lengthen the runways and add new facilities made to accommodate larger or noisier aircraft at STS?",
"answer": "No. Longer runways are needed to accommodate 50 to 99-seat Regional Jet (RJ) aircraft. Most airlines wishing to provide service to our community would use Regional Jets, which are suited to our market. RJs are quiet technology aircraft that meet the limits established in the ATE. Due to the performance characteristics of some of the RJs, longer runways are needed in order to (1) provide service at STS, and (2) to increase the number of destinations available from STS."
},
{
"question": "Why were the new runway lengths chosen?",
"answer": "The runway lengths chosen by the County for further study are a compromise. Longer runways could have been justified based on historical temperatures and their effect on aircraft performance."
},
{
"question": "Who will pay for projects recommended in the Master Plan?",
"answer": "There will be no direct costs to the taxpayers of Sonoma County because airport development is paid for through a mix of both federal and local airport funds. These funds include Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Funds from the FAA. AIP Funds are derived from taxes on national and international travel, air cargo taxes, and noncommercial aviation fuel. Ultimately, it is the users of STS who fund the local share for improvements through rent, fees, passenger facility charges and purchases at STS."
},
{
"question": "What are the largest aircraft currently operating at STS?",
"answer": "Currently, Gulfstream 500s, Global Express jets, and the Boeing Business Jet, (a version of the Boeing 737), are the largest aircraft that operate at STS. These jets are among the quietest aircraft that use STS. These modern aircraft are used for corporate/business activity and have wingspans of approximately 115 feet. Larger aircraft are not anticipated at STS in the future because of runway weight restrictions."
},
{
"question": "Why is Runway 14/32 the most utilized for takeoffs and landings at STS?",
"answer": "Runways are selected based on their alignment with the prevailing wind conditions for that particular area, and our prevailing wind conditions favor this runway. Runway 32 is equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). This allows landings on Runway 32 to occur under lower-visibility conditions. Runway 1-19 does not have lights or any precision landing aids."
},
{
"question": "When will the Board of Supervisors vote to certify the Master Plan update?",
"answer": "It is anticipated the Board of Supervisors may take a final vote to certify the Master Plan update in December 2011."
},
{
"question": "Will there be more airplanes at STS as a result of the Master Plan update?",
"answer": "The Master Plan update itself does not cause or result in an increase in aviation activity, however the Master Plan update does forecast an increase in aviation activity. As noted above, the draft Airport Master Plan update forecasts lower numbers of based aircraft, lower levels of aircraft operations, and lower numbers of passengers than the forecasts used for the Sonoma County General Plan Air Transportation Element (ATE) and the Sonoma County Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)."
},
{
"question": "What is the purpose of purchasing additional land around STS?",
"answer": "The purpose of purchasing additional land is to protect the approaches to the runways and to provide a noise buffer."
},
{
"question": "Will Alaska Airlines or other airlines increase the number of flights at STS?",
"answer": "STS continues to talk with Alaska and other airlines about adding new destinations to the schedule. Currently Alaska provides service to Los Angeles, Portland, San Diego, and Seattle. There is great demand for service to an eastern hub like Denver, Salt Lake City, or Phoenix, both as destinations and for the connectivity. Las Vegas is also on the list of desired destinations."
},
{
"question": "Does the proposed runway extension go over Airport Creek?",
"answer": "The runway extension itself does not go over Airport Creek; however, the extended runway safety area will go over the creek and necessitate the culverting of approximately 1,200 to 1,500 lineal feet of Airport Creek. Note that there will be no impact to Mark West Creek as a result of the Master Plan Update and runway extension."
},
{
"question": "How do I comment on the Master Plan update?",
"answer": "The comment period closed on September 19, 2011, and the Airport Master Plan was approved by the County of Sonoma Board of Supervisors on January 24, 2012. Sign up for our email newsletter to be notified of ongoing Airport news."
},
{
"question": "What is the cost and status of funding for the project?",
"answer": "The current estimates for the runway safety area improvements, runway extensions, taxiway changes, service road installation and relocation of the Airport’s instrument landing system localizer equipment is $41 million. This estimate does include the design, construction management, land acquisition, mitigation costs, construction and a reimbursable agreement with the FAA for the relocation of the localizer. There are no funds currently obligated for this project, and if approved, the funds would be through grants issued in Federal fiscal year 2012 and 2013. No funding commitments can be made until federal and state environmental approvals are obtained."
},
{
"question": "What are the sources of the funding for the project?",
"answer": "95% of the funding is anticipated to come from grants from the Federal Aviation Administration. The balance of funding will come from Airport revenues. No County General Fund revenues will be used. For the Airport’s share of the costs, it is anticipated that the Airport would seek a CalTrans Aeronautics loan for the match, and then pay the loan through passenger facility fees."
},
{
"question": "What is the economic impact of the project?",
"answer": "The impact from the five flights operated by Alaska Airlines generates $112 million in direct and in-direct economic impact and approximately 414 jobs in the community. Should the project be approved, airlines agree to serve this market and the 12 daily departures identified occur by 2015, then an additional $170 million economic impact would occur with an additional 479 jobs created in the community. In addition, to the economic impact from air service, the tenants at the Airport currently generate over $1.4 million in taxes for the County general fund, school districts and special districts per year."
},
{
"question": "What is the schedule for the EIR process?",
"answer": "The EIR process is complete. On January 24, 2012, the County of Sonoma Board of Supervisors took final action and approved certification of the Environmental Impart Report (EIR) and approved the Charles M. Schulz – Sonoma County Airport Master Plan and related General Plan and Zoning amendments."
},
{
"question": "When will the construction period be for the project?",
"answer": "Most of the short-term project elements are associated with the extension of the runways, the provision of the runway safety areas, and the ancillary projects that would enable the runway extensions to occur. These projects are proposed to begin in summer 2013. The projects will be completed in two phases. It is anticipated the runway extension may be completed by fall 2014."
},
{
"question": "When is the expected project completion date (assuming approval of the project)?",
"answer": "It is expected that the short-term project elements would be completed prior to 2015. The long-term project elements are expected to be developed between 2015 and 2030."
},
{
"question": "What public meetings will be held as part of the DEIR review process?",
"answer": "After its August 5, 2011, release date, the DEIR wa circulated for 45 days for review and comment by the public and other interested parties, agencies and organizations. During this period there was an open house meeting and one planning commission meeting where public comments were accepted. The public comment period closed on September 19, 2011."

"question": "FAQ: How Can I Set Goals in EEBA?",
"answer": "Whether it’s your property taxes, a summer vacation, or your Holiday spending, we all have expenses that seem to creep up on us through the year. Don’t be surprised by these predictable expenses! Instead, set a savings goal to budget for them throughout the year. You’ll save up for them bit by bit, and have peace of mind knowing you’ll be ready when the time comes to pay them. Head to the Edit Budgets page to create an Annual/Irregular Envelope. Set the Envelope’s Budget to how much you’d like to save each year. EEBA will break down your annual goal into regular monthly parts. Over time, fund the Envelope as part of your monthly budget. Over the course of a year, you’ll have reached your goal. For Example: It’s June 1st and you’re starting to think about your Holiday Expenses. You want to have $600 saved up by the end of November, so following the directions above you create a “Holiday Expenses” Envelope in EEBA with an Annual budget of $600. Raise the budget amount to $1200, so that it will fund $100 a month for the 6 months you have left, leaving you with $600. When the time comes, you won’t have to worry about how much you can afford. Use the funds you’ve been saving in your Envelope to pay for the expense. Thanks to Megan for the question! What I sometimes do for irregular purchases (new dishwasher for example) is write a new envelope called “Dishwasher (250)” and a budget of 0 so I can add money to it when I want out of my savings but I know how much I need. Helpful if you want flexibility over automation and don’t live paycheque to paycheque. I can then transfer between envelopes if my priorities change. Just another option : )."

{
"question": "Home :FAQ :Who will comprise the 144,000?",
"answer": "You are right about every wind of doctrine blowing. And some who take extreme or erroneous positions may, indeed, be very eloquent and may sound very knowledgeable on the points that they are belaboring. But this does not assure that they are correct. You do well to be on guard. See The Great Controversy, pages 648, 649, for Ellen White’s basic statement on this group. What follows are portions of a document that examines certain statements Mrs. White made about the 144,000. (The document is titled “Counsel Regarding the Question of the 144,000.”) Mrs. White did not try to define who would comprise this group, and she cautioned others about trying to do so. Christ says that there will be those in the church who will present fables and suppositions, when God has given grand, elevating, ennobling truth, which should ever be kept in the treasure house of the mind. When men pick up this theory and that theory, when they are curious to know something it is not necessary for them to know, God is not leading them. It is not His plan that His people shall present something which they have to suppose, which is not taught in the Word. It is not His will that they shall get into controversy over questions which will not help them spiritually, such as who is to compose the hundred and forty-four thousand. This those who are the elect of God will in a short time know without question (Selected Messages, 1:174, 175). [The following letter from C. C. Crisler, leading secretary in Mrs. White’s office, addressed to _______, president of the Pacific Union Conference, was called forth by a request from him to Sister White for any light she might have bearing on the teaching that the 144,000 will be made up of Americans only, none from other lands.] . . . Mrs. White instructs me to inform you she has no light further than that the presentation of uncertainties as certainties, and the urging of mysteries as revealed truths, is perilous and leads to disappointment. She suggests building on Holy Scriptures, the true foundation, rather than on personal conjecture. . . . She also commented favorably upon hearing the words with which I closed “So far as I now know, no one knows the full truth of the matter, nor will we know until we are on the other side of Jordan.”—Ellen G. White Estate, December 21, 1964; Revised September 1990."

"question": "How is RADAR funded?",
"answer": "RADAR relies solely on the generosity of its donors to fund its mission to help at-risk dogs. The more donations we receive, the more dogs we can save. RADAR also actively seeks financial support through grants and matching gift opportunities. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ2″]2."
},
{
"question": "How will my donation be used??",
"answer": "RADAR combines your donation with others to provide grants for specific dogs in municipal shelters. Our focus is primarily on small, overcrowded, underfunded rural shelters in Appalachia and the Southeast. Our efforts are aimed at helping otherwise adoptable dogs in these shelters who are least likely to get adopted (older dogs, black dogs, special-needs dogs, medical needs dogs). Rescue incentive offers of help are also made for shelter dogs. By covering part or all of the costs of veterinary care, etc. for these dogs most at risk, they are far more likely to be taken by a rescue. We assist rescues that commit to these at-risk dogs with veterinary care, transport, temporary boarding and other costs. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ3″]3."
},
{
"question": "How much of my donation actually goes to help the dogs?",
"answer": "All of it! RADAR is a small, all-volunteer nonprofit organization with no paid staff or facility to maintain. Also, RADAR’s co-founders are paying all the operating costs. That means 100% of your donations received by RADAR will literally go to the dogs! [sta_anchor id=”FAQ4″]4."
},
{
"question": "Are my donations tax-deductible?",
"answer": "YES! RADAR is a nonprofit organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on January 19, 2012, and recognized as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charitable organization by the IRS. RADAR’s IRS identification number (EIN) is 45-4375200. Donations made to RADAR are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ5″]5."
},
{
"question": "Can I get an acknowledgment letter for my donation?",
"answer": "Absolutely! We highly value our donors, and never take them for granted—regardless of the donation amount. While the dogs RADAR helps cannot thank you directly, we can, and we do! All online donations are promptly acknowledged with a personal email. However, if a donor prefers an acknowledgment letter be mailed, we will gladly do so if requested. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ6″]6."
},
{
"question": "In addition to donating, are there other ways that I can help RADAR?",
"answer": "Yes! You can spread the word about RADAR to your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. Be sure to Like Us on Facebook and Twitter. You can also hold fundraisers to benefit RADAR, or have friends make birthday gifts to you in the form of donations to RADAR in your honor. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ7″]7."
},
{
"question": "Can I specify how my donation is used?",
"answer": "Indeed! You can indicate whether you want your donation to benefit one or more of the types of at-risk dogs we help: older dogs, black dogs, medical-needs dogs or special-needs dogs. Often a dog RADAR helps will be a combination of all of these categories. You can also designate that your donation be used to help fund one or more of the “Featured Dogs” we are currently assisting. If we have already fully funded a dog before receiving your donation for that dog, your donation will be used to help another dog. Bottom line: Every dollar of every donation to RADAR is used to help an at-risk dog. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ8″]8."
},
{
"question": "How do you determine which animal welfare organizations to help?",
"answer": "RADAR has a list of requirements and qualifications to determine which organizations are eligible for our grants. Our focus is primarily on rural municipal shelters in Appalachia and the Southeast. These are typically often underfunded and overcrowded. A shelter is considered to be rural if it is located in a county with a low population density. Most shelters we assist are in counties with less than 250 people per square mile. We also partner with 501(c)(3) rescue organizations to assist with specific at-risk dogs pulled from municipal shelters. RADAR can only assist with a dog pulled from a shelter if the rescue applies for our grant prior to committing to taking the dog. RADAR’s commitment to assist should be a contributing factor in the rescue pulling the dog. When RADAR provides grants for a dog, that dog needs to be exempt from being euthanized. The only exceptions would be for previously unknown life-threatening or quality-of-life medical reasons, or aggression issues, and only after first consulting with RADAR. We reserve the right to withhold any future grants to any organization that does not abide by this policy. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ9″]9."
},
{
"question": "What if a rescue has significant financial resources?",
"answer": "RADAR grants are intended to better enable all-volunteer rescues with limited financial resources take at-risk dogs from rural shelters in Appalachia and the Southeast. Often, a rescue is only able to take an at-risk dog with a RADAR grant. RADAR is a small, donor-funded organization with limited financial resources. For organizations required to file IRS Form 990-EZ or 990, we will review the most recent filing to determine if a RADAR grant is warranted. For an at-risk dog with a RADAR grant offer, we request that a rescue or animal welfare organization with significant financial resources opt not to use RADAR’s offer so that those funds can be applied to another urgent at-risk dog for a rescue that could not otherwise take the dog. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ10″]10."
},
{
"question": "How do you prioritize which specific dogs to help?",
"answer": "The initial request for a RADAR grant for specific dogs is made by a pre-approved municipal shelter or rescue. Priority will be given to those dogs most at risk (older dogs, black dogs, dogs with medical or special needs) without regard to breed. To help as many dogs as possible be more likely to be adopted, RADAR will focus on dogs needing more modest financial assistance (hundreds of dollars) rather than major funding (thousands of dollars). [sta_anchor id=”FAQ11″]11."
},
{
"question": "How are RADAR grants provided?",
"answer": "When RADAR commits to assist an at-risk dog, it typically is handled in one of two ways. With requests for smaller grants, we usually pay the entire amount. With requests for more substantial grants, we might pay only part of the amount, and that could be in the form of a match of the amount the requesting organization raises, or providing a backstop to pay the balance of what the requesting organization does not raise. In all cases, RADAR only makes its payment directly to the provider of the service to the at-risk dog. Unlike with pledges of assistance, when RADAR makes a commitment to assist an at-risk dog, the amount of the grant money is already available and encumbered until the payment is made (or declined or no longer needed), and depends on the rescue qualify for the grant. After our grant payment is made, we post the dog as one of our Featured Dogs and encourage our supporters to donate to that dog’s fund to help reimburse us for our costs. That money, along with new general donations, allows us to commit to assist other dogs. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ12″]12."
},
{
"question": "What do you mean by “at-risk” dogs?",
"answer": "These are dogs whose lives are truly at risk because they are the least likely to be adopted at a shelter or taken by a rescue. These otherwise adoptable adult dogs are typically older dogs (often called seniors), black dogs, dogs with medical or special needs, and dogs of certain breeds (like Pit Bulls or Hounds). Many times, these shelter dogs have been placed on euthanasia lists. Often, the most life-threatening circumstance for these dogs is time. Our efforts are aimed at getting immediate financial assistance to these dogs. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ13″]13."
},
{
"question": "Are there ways I can help at-risk dogs directly?",
"answer": "Yes! You can volunteer at your local shelter, or with one or more rescue organizations. There is always a great need for fosters. You can also volunteer to transport dogs. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ14″]14."
},
{
"question": "Is there a way for me to help provide essential needs directly to a shelter?",
"answer": "Yes. Many shelters need all sorts of essential items, like dog food or cleaning supplies. Contact your local shelter to see what’s most urgently needed. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ15″]15."
},
{
"question": "Does RADAR assist individuals with the cost of caring for their dogs?",
"answer": "Unfortunately, RADAR does not. As part of our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, our grants are limited to animal welfare organizations like municipal shelters and rescue organizations. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ16″]16."
},
{
"question": "Do you have dogs available for adoption?",
"answer": "No. RADAR has no dogs under its direct control or care. All of the dogs we assist are either in municipal shelters or with rescues. If you are interested in adopting a dog that we are helping, that would be wonderful! You can contact the shelter or rescue directly (be sure to tell them you found the dog on RADAR), or email us for the contact information. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ17″]17."
},
{
"question": "How often does RADAR update its online information?",
"answer": "Our information is updated continuously. We require the shelters and rescues that we assist to provide us with updates on the dogs that we are helping, and respond to our inquiries within 48 hours. [sta_anchor id=”FAQ18″]18."

"question": "How Do I File a Claim With a Shipping Company?",
"answer": "Inspect and Note Any Visible Losses Inspect and note any losses before you sign the delivery receipt. Mark on the Bill of Lading and delivery receipt that there are damages and have it signed by the driver to be submitted with the claim. Do not refuse the shipment unless the damage has rendered your freight worthless. Preserve Packaging, Damaged Goods and Prevent Further Loss If you discover damage after accepting the shipment, stop unpacking the shipment and retain all packaging. Take steps to reduce further loss of the goods. Do not discard damaged goods, packaging and container seals until the surveyor has investigated the loss. Complete the Claim Form Make sure to completely fill out the claim form (see here for an example) from the selected carrier. Be thorough: errors or omissions in completing the claim form can often lead to a rejection of the claim. Contact your carrier’s office if you need help obtaining the necessary claim form.

{
"question": "How are my prices set?",
"answer": "Coffee prices are established against the New York “C” Market. This is the commodities exchange where coffee futures are bought and sold. Like other commodities coffee fluctuates in price due to many factors such as weather, political turmoil, supply and demand. Brokers sell against the replacement cost of coffee bought and sold, thus coffee prices rise and fall in line with this market. Most of our coffees carry differentials – they are priced higher or lower than the “C” Market. Differentials are based on factors such as quality, availability, and demand. A coffee of exceptional quality and limited supply will always sell at a higher price than the “C” market."

{
"question": "Who owns the foreign exchange reserves managed by the National Bank?",
"answer": "In accordance with its Statutes (Article 14), the NBB participates in the basic tasks within the domain of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), which include \"to hold and manage the official foreign exchange reserves of the Member States of the Union\". Whether they consist of gold, claims or foreign currencies, the foreign exchange reserves shown on the National Bank’s balance sheet are Belgium’s official reserves which the National Bank holds and manages on behalf of the Belgian economy. The National Bank owns the reserves but cannot dispose of them freely. These reserves in fact constitute assets allocated to the performance of the general interest tasks taken on by the National Bank, especially as regards monetary policy and foreign exchange policy. A group of the National Bank’s minority shareholders lodged an appeal before the Court of Arbitration, seeking cancellation of Article 141 § 2 of the Law of 2 August 2002 introducing an Article 9bis into the Bank’s Organic Law, on the grounds that this provision had transferred to the State the ownership of the foreign exchange reserves belonging to the National Bank. In a judgment handed down on 10 December 2003, the Court of Arbitration ruled that this provision did not in any way alter the ownership of these reserves, and merely regulated their status in the European system. It confirmed that these assets are allocated to the tasks and operations of the ESCB and the other tasks of public interest conferred on the National Bank, and drew attention to the special status of the National Bank which, while having been set up in the form of a private company, takes on tasks in the public interest (recital B.4.3. )."

"question": "How is the project being built?",
"answer": "The project is being built through a public-private partnership (PPP or P3) that includes the design, build, finance, operation and maintenance of the POMT. It is a 35-year concession agreement, which includes 55 months for design and construction. MAT Concessionaire, LLC is responsible overall for operating and maintaining the tunnel once construction is complete."
},
{
"question": "A PPP is a contractual agreement between a public agency, in this case FDOT, and a private sector organization with the qualifications to carry out the specific duties..\nWhat is a Concession Agreement?",
"answer": "A concession agreement is an agreement allowing a private sector company to design, build, finance and operate a State infrastructure over a long period of time and return it to the State in a prescribed condition at the end of the period. In this case, FDOT entered into a concession agreement with MAT Concessionaire, LLC in a competitive bidding process to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain the POMT project over a defined term."
},
{
"question": "Why is a PPP the best approach for this project?",
"answer": "The Port of Miami Tunnel is a highly complex project. The PPP structure transfers most risk for construction cost overruns, schedule delays and the long-term cost of operations and maintenance to the private sector organization. It also guarantees FDOT a fixed long-term cost structure. Additionally, if the selected organization under-performs, FDOT will be able to reduce payments. Such a financial incentive will ensure that the organization builds a quality product and operates and maintains the project in first-class condition. This approach is also ideal when the public agency does not have full funding in place to construct the project. The PPP allows private financing of a portion of the project costs to deliver the project earlier."
},
{
"question": "How much will design and construction cost and how will it be paid for?",
"answer": "Design and Construction costs are currently at $667 million. MAT will be paid $156 million in milestone payments from FDOT during construction and will self-finance the rest, partly through a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Upon final acceptance, an additional FDOT milestone payment of $350 million will be paid to MAT."
},
{
"question": "Is the contracted team, MAT Concessionaire, LLC, one company or a group of companies?",
"answer": "The winning proposer formed a company only for the purpose of entering into this agreement with FDOT. The two finance investors in the company are Meridiam Infrastructure Finance with 90 percent equity and Bouygues Travaux Publics with 10 percent equity. The company brought in key subcontractors for the design, construction, and operations of the project."
},
{
"question": "How much will operations and maintenance cost and how is it funded?",
"answer": "Maximum Availability Payments (MAP) will be $32.5 million dollars per year, and will be adjusted for yearly inflation. The Concessionaire will receive these annual payments based on performance throughout a 30 year term."
},
{
"question": "How will the company get back that investment?",
"answer": "The company will regain its investment from payments by FDOT. In addition to the $156 million in construction milestone payments, the company will receive a $350 million payment when it achieves final acceptance of the construction works. The company will use this $350 million final milestone payment to repay some of its debt and equity. FDOT will also make what are known as availability payments to the company during the maintenance and operations portion of the contract. These payments will begin once the tunnel opens to the public and will continue for the remainder of the 35-year agreement. If the tunnel is unavailable for use, or if the company underperforms, it will not receive a full payment."
},
{
"question": "What are the sources of revenue?",
"answer": "FDOT will make the milestone and availability payments from state funds, as well as local funds contributed by Miami-Dade County and the city of Miami. The county’s contribution includes about $357.5 million in 2009 dollars. The city’s contribution totals $50 million in 2010 dollars. The county and city also donated $45 million and $5 million of right of way, respectively."
},
{
"question": "What are the maximum earnings per year the company could achieve?",
"answer": "Milestone payments and availability (based on the availability of the tunnel to traffic) payments are the only payments from FDOT to the company. The milestone payments total a maximum of $506.5 million over the construction period, including a $350 million payment when construction is complete. Once the tunnel is open to traffic, the company is eligible to begin receiving availability payments with an annual maximum amount of $32.5 million in 2009 dollars plus an adjustment for inflation."
},
{
"question": "How long will the agreement last and what happens at the end of the 35 year period?",
"answer": "The 35-year term, including both the construction and operating period, began on Oct. 15, 2009, and ends on Oct. 15, 2044. At the end of the 35 years, MAT Concessionaire, LLC will handback the tunnel in first class condition as described in the agreement to the Florida Department of Transportation."
},
{
"question": "What are some other U.S. transportation projects financed and built through PPP?",
"answer": "Recent new construction of U.S. transportation projects financed though PPPs includes: SH-121, SH-130 segments 5 & 6, and IH 635 in Texas; the Dulles Greenway and I-495 High Occupancy/Toll (HOT) lanes in Virginia; and SR-91 Express lanes in California. PPPs were also used to provide up-front payments to the public owners and finance significant reconstruction and maintenance of a number of existing facilities in the United States, such as the Chicago Skyway, the Indiana Toll Road and the Pocahontas Parkway in Virginia. The I-595 Corridor Improvements in Broward County, Florida, and the Port of Miami Tunnel are the first transportation PPP projects in the United States based on availability payments."
},
{
"question": "Will there be a toll?",
"answer": "Unlike some of the PPPs mentioned above, the tunnel is fully funded within the contract life and does not rely on tolls as a funding or revenue source. Additionally, under the contract, the company cannot impose tolls to recover its cost."

{
"question": "FAQ: How can a current employee take an assessment for a promotion?",
"answer": "If an existing employee has not taken an assessment and would like to take one for promotion to a new position, the employee will need to submit a new application to the new position. The employee should access the company's job application to submit a new application with the assessment. The employee needs to enter the Four Identifiers (First Name/Last Name/PIN/DOB) as they did on their previous application, to associate the new application with their current record. Since they have not taken the assessment previously, it will be available during the application process. If the new position does not exist at your organization, you will need to create the position first so the employee can apply. If the job already exists at your organization, you may want to review the individual's existing assessment report under Job Fit Scores as you may be able to evaluate this individual based on a different job profile."

{
"question": "How do you estimate the yardage for material?",
"answer": "For example, i wish to order some camo fabric and i need a piece 52x84 inches minimum. The headliner material, standard or camoflauge comes in 60 inch widths. So you would need 84 inches of material. This would leave approximately 4 inches of overhang on each side, but it can be trimmed with scissors. 84 inches of material equals 2.33 yards, so you would either need 21/2 or 3 yards of material."
},
{
"question": "How many yards for a 96 xlt bronco headliner?",

},
{
"question": "How many yards of headliner material would it take to do a '08 toyota tundra ?",
"answer": "Depends on whether its a standard cab, ext cab or double cab. The double cab would take around 72 inches (2 yards), the single cab would take around 62 inches, the standard cab about 45 inches or so. You may have a bowstyle headliner instead of a headliner board."

"question": "Q: I Was Involved In An Auto Accident, What Should I Know, What Should I Do?",
"answer": "A: If you have left the accident scene, via ambulance or other wise, call the Coastal Legal Center right away. We may be able to get scene photos as soon as possible. These evidence photos are often vital and important. If you are still at the scene, preserve it with photos, lots of photos. If a car accident, get pictures of all vehicles involved, the people involved, the street scene, including skid marks, debris, etc. Make no statement as to your own liability. Do not say, “It was my fault”. After analysis, it may turn out to be someone else’s fault. In a recent case, our client was accused of being at fault by the police, on television news, in an accident where she was killed. Our team of attorneys and investigators were able to reconstruct the accident scene, prove that she was not at fault, and arrive at a $1,000,000 settlement for her family. Legal Center attorneys may be able to arrange for medical treatment with doctors who will wait for payment until your case is settled. Call Coastal Legal Center as soon as possible for a no obligation free consultation. Q: I Was Hurt In An Accident On Someone Else’s Property, Such As A Trip And Fall Or Slip And Fall."
},
{
"question": "What Should I Do?",
"answer": "A: Document the accident: If it was on commercial premises, such as a grocery store, tell them you want to make a report. If there is evidence such as a wet area, ask them to take a picture before they mop it up. If there was a bottle of something spilled, ask them to keep the bottle or give it to you. Get the names of store personnel and witnesses ASAP: If you tripped over something like torn up or uprooted driveway or sidewalk, have someone take pictures of the place. Use a ruler to show the difference in elevation, such as a 2-inch lift or a 3- inch crack. Take pictures of the ruler overlaying the problem area. Often, property owners get these problems repaired soon after an accident is reported, making it impossible to later preserve the evidence. Call Coastal Legal Center as soon as possible to make sure your rights are protected. If you have medical bills outstanding, we can often negotiate with the hospital or other provider to wait for their payment until the case is resolved. We can often negotiate a reduction of those bills, saving you thousands of dollars."
},
{
"question": "Q: Have You Successfully Settled Cases Like Mine?",
"answer": "A: Most likely very much like yours. We have successfully settled thousands of personal injury cases, each one individual but sharing some similarities (such as a rear end auto accident). At Coastal Legal Center, we represent people injured in accidents caused by someone else. Typically, these are vehicular accident cases (cars, motorcycles, trucks, pedestrian); premises liability cases also known as slip and fall or trip and fall cases; or, in the worst-case situation, when someone was killed (wrongful death), where the deceased’s family may be entitled to compensation for the death of their relative. Coastal Legal Center has extensive experience handling the full range of cases involving catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death. We are able to offer you superior representation by staying abreast of trends and changes in the legal field and by constantly updating our skills and knowledge. Our attorneys are willing to consider any case involving serious personal injury or wrongful death, even those not specifically listed on our website. If you have been seriously injured or have lost someone you love, and you feel that someone else’s negligence was responsible for your damages, Coastal Legal Center would be pleased to evaluate your case at a free initial consultation. Defective vehicles, products, machinery, tires, etc. If you are in doubt about whether we handle a case like yours, just ask us."
},
{
"question": "Q: How Long Do I Have To Settle My Case Before I Lose All My Rights To Recover?",
"answer": "A: In California, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a case or lose your rights to collect from a person who caused your injuries. If a governmental agency is negligent, you have to file a demand within a much shorter time. Failure to do so may result in your loss of the right to file the lawsuit. In any case, you should not ‘sit on your rights”’. You should seek an experienced attorney from the beginning, one who is especially skilled at negotiating on your behalf. Q: I Can’t Even Afford Medical Help."
},
{
"question": "How Can I Pay An Attorney?",
"answer": "A: At Coastal Legal Center we provide our clients and prospective clients with straightforward information about fees. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee, meaning that the client dos not pay the attorney’s fees unless there is a recovery. The contingency fee is based upon a flat percentage of any recovery. All fee agreements will be put in writing for you prior to filing a claim. Depending on the circumstances of your particular case, there may be costs for certain investigators or tests, but there will be no surprises. Everything is spelled out before we file the claim. We work on a contingency fee arrangement only. No exceptions. No money out of pocket for fees, no hidden expenses, and, we take no fee if we cannot get a recovery for you. We take our fee only after we get a recovery for you. We will be paid when all the dust settles. To schedule your free appointment, call Coastal Legal Center at (619) 231-0724. Q: The Other Side’s Insurance Company Wants Me To Make A Recorded Statement And To Sign An Authorization So They Can Get My Medical Records."
},
{
"question": "Should I Do Either?",
"answer": "A: No. Once you make a statement, you are stuck with it. If you forget to say a body part was injured, then they hold it against you if you later say it was. Often, injuries to different body parts do not surface for weeks, or months. Do not make a statement about what does or doesn’t ache. Do not make a recorded statement about how the accident occurred either. Speak to an attorney first!! A medical authorization allows the other side (insurance company) to gather your medical records, supposedly from the accident to assess your bills and injuries. They often say they want to get them paid and need them to analyze the value of your case. Too often, however, the authorization you sign has no dates of service attached to it. BEWARE! The insurance company can then go back ten, even twenty years into your personal medical records to look for similar injuries, or to find “dirt” on you. Worse yet, they have these documents, but you do not. At Coastal Legal Center, we never allow our clients to sign such authorizations without prior preparation, and then, only rarely. We collect the medical records for you, and send them to the other side. That way we know what they have in their possession. Q: I Was Injured On The Job."
},
{
"question": "Do I Have A Claim Outside Of Worker’s Compensation For My Work Injuries?",
"answer": "A: These cases are different than Workers Compensation cases. Many Workers Compensation cases have a “personal injury cross-over”, where some or all of your injuries were caused by someone other than a co-worker and you can sue outside of the workers compensation legal scheme. Those cases occur when another company’s employee, (such as a sub-contractor’s employee) injures you, or when a piece of equipment causing your injury was negligently designed or manufactured, or the instructions for its use were unclear, or if it was poorly maintained by someone other than your employer. Workers Compensation laws were designed to keep businesses in California. The amounts of recovery are limited and generally low. Good news for your employer. However, if you can make a claim against someone not your employer, you may be able to recover much more than you could under Workers Compensation. A: Absolutely. Our firm’s principle attorney Jerrold Bodow has been a respected member of the San Diego Legal Community since 1977, working in as a Prosecutor for the City of San Diego.After four years, he started a private practice where he became involved in accident injury law. His firm, Coastal Legal Center, understands all the strategies that insurance companies use to try to force you to accept pennies on the dollar in settlement. He has never had a client complaint about his trustworthiness. Yes, you can trust this firm and its track record of success for clients. A: With a simple phone call to set up a free case consultation, or with an e-mail message. We will return your email at the start of the next business day or earlier. If it’s urgent give us a call 07/24."
},
{
"question": "Q: Will I Be Notified Regarding The Case’s Progress?",
"answer": "A: Your legal team includes an attorney and legal assistants who will keep you up to date on your case and assist you with any issues you may have. We are always only a phone call away and will guide you through this long, exhausting process of dealing with insurance companies. When you are injured, the first thing you need is medical care. Then come the worries."
},
{
"question": "How do I get my damaged property repaired or replaced?",
"answer": "If you are looking for answers to these and other questions, give the attorneys at Coastal Legal Center a call now for a free consultation at your home, the hospital or nursing home, or our downtown office."
},
{
"question": "Q: How Can I Get Good Medical Treatment?",
"answer": "A: If you need a specialist or other medical treatment but you’re broke. We have solutions. We enjoy long standing relationships with many kinds of doctors, therapists and hospitals who will often provide medical treatment for our clients, and are willing to wait for payment until after your case is settled. There is no need to worry if you need an operation or extensive treatment but have no money in your budget to pay for it."
},
{
"question": "Q: What Else Will Your Firm Do For Me?",
"answer": "A: You can rely on Coastal Legal Center to deal with bill collectors, bureaucrats and insurance adjusters on your behalf. At this time you need to keep your focus on healing and let us take on all the aggressive insurance investigators and adjusters. You will have exceptionally skilled (and patient) negotiators to work on your behalf. We have a history of several decades of excellent settlements for our clients. We can do this for you as well. We will negotiate on your behalf for a fair settlement, refusing to accept any low ball offers of pennies on the dollar. Do not attempt to negotiate for yourself. You are hurt, vulnerable and stressed. Realize that the insurance adjusters are professionals using the latest techniques to convince you that a cheap settlement is fair. Their professionals receive continuous training. If you try to negotiate by yourself, you could easily end up with a much lower total settlement, may have to skimp on necessary treatment, and may have a much lower quality of life."

{
"question": "Q - What turbo do you recommend for my 98.5-02 Dodge which is my daily driver and tow rig?",
"answer": "A - Although the best alternative is a twin turbo setup, a single can be a lot of fun for those who don't want to spend that amount of money. We recommend using the 62/65/12 on automatic transmission equipped trucks. For the manual transmission, we recommend the 62/65/14. Both turbos work well with a 100hp injector, but any size up to 150 will work fine. The 150's will get hot if using a tuner, but easily controllable."
},
{
"question": "Q - What is the biggest injector I can run in my 98.5-02 Dodge Ram using the stock turbo?",
"answer": "A - We prefer using a 75hp vco injector because we see a fuel mileage increase of 3-5mpg more than stock! The driveability is excellent and egt's usually won't get higher than 1200* with most tuners/driving habits. That said, a 100hp-125hp injector also works well with a stock turbo, but you will need to keep an eye on egt's when towing heavy. We do have guys running 250hp diesel performance injectors on the stock turbo, but they will be smokey at wot and will greatly decrease the life of the turbo due to overfueling/overboosting. Q - My 98.5-02 Dodge only tows my boat 1-2 times a year. It is mostly a daily driver/play toy."
},
{
"question": "What injector /turbo do you recommend?",
"answer": "A - We recommend the BD Super B Special or similar size (Super Phat Shaft 64) turbo and a set of 7x.010 or 7x.012 sac injectors for best results."
},
{
"question": "Q - What twin kit do you recommend for my 98.5-02 Dodge?",
"answer": "A - Due to the vp44 fueling capabilities (or lack thereof), most trucks will make the most power with a smaller twin setup. We recommend the 62/65/12 over S475. Anything bigger than a s475 will lose hp since the vp44 can't supply the fuel to keep those size turbos in their peak efficiency range."
},

"question": "Q - Why do you recommend the 62/65/12 turbo to be used in your twin turbo sets for 98.5-02 Dodge?",
"answer": "A - The Bd Super B or S300 turbo will only support 425hp. The stock HX35 will support 425Hp. The Super B is not a upgrade turbo. The 62/65/12 will support 500hp and only loses about 100-200 rpm spoolup time compared to the Hx35."

"question": "Doesn’t she know that you only lend a car when it has a quarter tank full of fuel in it???",
"answer": "Or less fuel preferably. Provided it’s got enough gas in it to get to the closest gas station, that’s the way it’s done. As far as a car goes, it’s ok. Sure it’s hard to get the thing sliding sideways around corners, it’s got Electronic Stability Control. It’s also got Anti-lock Braking as well. So no locking all four wheels up. And by jingo’s, it’s an automatic! So no frying of a clutch plate is possible. Sure, I could pull the electric fuses for the ABS and ESC systems, that was the trick with earlier company cars. But I’ve been drilled in the lessons of bastardy known as the Army Q-Stores. We didn’t issue it to you like that soldier, so double away and clean it so it’s shinier than new. So it’s been washed, and it might even have a full tank of full in it. They enjoy much shorter braking distances. They can take speed bumps at twice the speed of private cars. The floor is shaped just like an ashtray. There is no limitation on the cheapest fuel that they can use. They do not have to be garaged at night. They can be driven up to 100 kilometres / 60 miles with the oil warning light on. They need cleaning less often, especially inside. The suspension is reinforced to allow carriage of concrete slabs and other heavy building materials. They are adapted to allow reverse to be engaged while the car is still moving forward. The tire side walls are designed for bumping into and over curbs. Unusual and alarming engine noises are easily eliminated by the adjustment of the radio volume control. No security is needed. They may be left anywhere, unlocked, with the keys in the ignition. They are built just right for towing boats and caravans."

{
"question": "What is the cost of sponsorship?",
"answer": "Blue Dragon offers different types of sponsorship, each with a different type of impact and at a different cost. Sponsorship options range from $16 per month ($192 per year) to $55 per month ($660 per year). All of the options and their costs are explained on our website."
},
{
"question": "How will my sponsorship help children in Vietnam?",
"answer": "Sponsorship can help disadvantaged children in Vietnam in many different ways. Your support can give children access to tertiary education, nutrition, sport, and empowerment. We aim to get numerous sponsors involved so we can make a big impact in each of these areas."
},
{
"question": "Can I choose the age or gender of the university student I sponsor?",
"answer": "Yes, you are welcome to do so if you wish. You will receive multiple updates during the year. These can include stories, photos, videos, news, reports, and updates on events. More detailed information about each sponsorship option is available at on the sponsorship page."
},
{
"question": "Will I be the only person sponsoring a university student?",
"answer": "Yes; each student has just one sponsor. For other forms of sponsorship, such as nutrition, utilities, girls’ empowerment or sponsoring Blue Dragon United Football Club, there will be more than one sponsor supporting each option."
},
{
"question": "How do I arrange payment for my sponsorship?",
"answer": "The best way to donate depends on where you are based in the world. Our donate page has all the information you need to make a donation. Blue Dragon has tax deductibility in Australia, America and Switzerland. Blue Dragon is also eligible for GiftAid in the UK."
},
{
"question": "Can I write to those I sponsor?",
"answer": "We generally don’t encourage this as the cost of translation and administration cuts into what we can spend on the children. However, from time to time we have been able to send a letter or postcard; just drop us a line in advance if this is something you want to do."
},
{
"question": "Can I send gifts to those I sponsor?",
"answer": "To keep the sponsorship fair for all, and to keep our administrative costs to a minimum, we don’t facilitate the sending of gifts. However, if the student or group you sponsor has a special need we can let you know and invite you to assist. We welcome visits to our centre in Hanoi. We normally don’t facilitate visits to the provinces as those who are sponsored and their families may feel overwhelmed or embarrassed to have a foreigner visit their home. There are also issues around child protection and privacy; and with individuals living in rural areas, visits can be logistically very complex."
},
{
"question": "What happens if I have to stop my sponsorship?",
"answer": "Sometimes sponsors cannot continue their support and have to stop or take a break. In these cases, we look for new sponsors to keep up the support to the children you have been helping."
},
{
"question": "Where do the university students come from?",
"answer": "Sponsored students come from very poor rural areas all around the country, although some students are also from Hanoi. They are from disadvantaged families who would not be able to send their children to university without support. They attend university in cities from south to north Vietnam. Child protection is at the core of Blue Dragon’s work. You can download our policy, in English and in Vietnamese."
},
{
"question": "How can I change the way I pay my sponsorship donation?",
"answer": "All of the details about the different ways to donate can be found on our donate page. Feel free to write to sponsorship@bdcf.org if you have any questions. Sponsorship is about supporting a specific, ongoing area of Blue Dragon’s work, getting regular feedback about what’s happening, and seeing the impact of your donation over time. Keep the Blue Dragon frying pan active, to keep cooking up healthy meals for hungry children. Your support will create future leaders. A monthly contribution to Blue Dragon's least-exciting costs - our utilities bills! - ensures we keep working. Let our kids take part in the sport they love most! Provide educational support and life skills training for girls from disadvantaged communities."

{
"question": "Is it possible that Ronnie may have told him to lay down and then just shot him?",
"answer": "Marc Defeo: Marc seems to me to have been actually sleeping. His body looks natural as his head is perfectly placed on the pillow and turned to the side facing outward (away from the wall) but towards the shooter. My guess is that if he saw someone about to shoot him his head would be facing the other direction or buried straight into the pillow (similar to John). His wound also bleeds to the side, seems the blood runs in a way that it should if someone was shot exactly in this position. I also see that the wheelchair next to his bed has no blood on it but in the next frame the floor has drops of blood where the wheelchair was. Its obvious Ronnie moved the chair to shoot his brother then moved it back. Dawn Defeo: If you look at her position in the bed her right leg is bent. Most people are in this position when they are sleeping, its a relaxed position. Or quite possibly about to get up. If she was about to get up from the bed she would have had to bend her leg like this to do so to try to escape. She clearly was not awake and struggling with her brother as it has been said. Also considering her wound was the most gruesome since she it was said her skull was distorted from the impact, her hair strangely covers her entire face, as well as her headboard being so clean for someone who literally had half her face missing. Maybe he just couldnt look at what he did. Allison Defeo: Very hard to tell much from this pic as you cant really see much. Again like Dawn her hair is covering her face also as she was shot I believe in the face. She is also facing the door which could signify she was actually sleeping. Doesnt seem to be much blood from what I can see. My guess is that he covered her face with her own hair and cleaned up a bit because he couldnt come to the realization of what he did. What I do notice is Allison, Dawn, and his mom Louise all seem to be covered in blankets as well as John and Mark (you can see the blanket in Johns picture where they show the mattress that it was stained with blood proving he was also covered. Almost as if he was sorry then covered them in a respect sort of way or nuturing. However the father whom he out right states he hated is left out in the open. I am not an investigator by any means or trying to be one, I just noticed these things and was wondering if anyone would agree to what I see. I saw the crime photos as well and from what I can tell, Dawn's photo pretty much looks like she's sleeping (minus the blood on the sheets). Everyone else, but Mr. DeFeo has their blankets pulled up to their heads. I don't think this was just out of respect, more like \"I wanna cover them up cause I don't want to look at them while I'm cleaning up what I did!\""
},
{
"question": "Was the parents' positions just mere coincidence or what?",
"answer": "I think the whole reason for making them lay on their stomachs was to eithier make it appear \"execution style\" since the first thing he said was they were killed by the mafia. Or I believe he did this to avoid looking at them face to face. No other reason to have everyone shot on their stomach except for the fact you couldnt face them. We can see a lot from the crime scene photos, but we also need to consider other evidence, such as the trajectories of the bullets passing through the bodies (which can determine if the victim was standing or laying down) and if the bullet holes in the mattresses line up with the bullet holes on the bodies. From what I understand, the evidence shows the father was indeed shot in bed. Yeah, it does look a little weird the way the pillows are more under his chest than his head. Perhaps this shows he didn't die right away, but was able to move a bit."
},
{
"question": "And maybe that's why Ronnie shot him a 2nd time?",
"answer": "I disagree with what you say about the blood line from the bullet hole in his back. I think this is more in line with him being shot laying down. The blood does not go straight down his back, it veers down to the right and appears to perhaps fall off his body around the waistband of his underwear. It seems totally natural for his body position, as in all other directions it would be going uphill. Instead, it is following the only downward path on his body, which is down his back to the right of the small of his back. It is not in a straight vertical line."
},
{
"question": "If he was shot standing up (and managed to remain standing as the blood started to flow out of him), wouldn't the blood flow be in a straight vertical line instead of how its shown in the photo?",
"answer": "And just in case you don't know, let me take this chance to remind everyone not to post photos of the DeFeo bodies on this board. Well the father was also shot 2 times, once in the front (kidney area) and in the back. My guess is that Ronnie did not shoot once in the front and then turn his father over and shoot him in the back leaving him in this position. That would have been to much work, he would have just shot him twice in the front of his body. I am thinking that his father got out of bed when seeing Ronnie with the gun and being a little \"nervous\" or even somewhat unsteady, Ronnie shoots and hits his father at an odd place by his hip. Keep in mind this is the man or person he feared the most this was his oppurtunity to do what he always wanted so his accuracy and confidence could have been somewhat off."
},
{
"question": "If his father was laying down why would he shoot him there of all places?",
"answer": "He probably would have went for the chest or even head. At this point I think his mother awakes and searches for the hand gun, Ronnie sees this and shoots. Now maybe his father still in shock over what just happened is hunched over by the bed or close to his wife. Ronnie takes the oppurtunity to shoot his dad in the back and his father collapses in the bed but on the edge, Ronnie pulls his dad up closer to the top of the bed and leaves him in this position. Now my reasoning for saying the father was shot standing is 3 reasons first there is a picture that shows a tennis shoe on the floor away from the bed with drops of blood (not splatter but large thick drops as if bleeding from a wound) 2nd is the flow of the blood from the wound and 3rd would be the fact that he was shot in the front then the back. His father was a heavy man his back would have had to be arched for the blood to just roll down his back the way it did in the picture that would be hard with someone who has a belly, not much of an arched back in that position."
},
{
"question": "Where did you get that info?????",
"answer": "I kinda agree with your theory that Ronnie covered up the girls faces with their own hair out of guilt. This is not uncommon for murderers to do things like this. A child murderer in Detroit in the late 70's actually washed and reclothed the bodies of his victims, and laid them out, hands across their chests as if for burial. Investigators were almost positive that this was an act out of guilt. Who knows, maybe Ronnie covered their faces out of guilt. However, we will never know for sure (about the Defeos and as for the the case in Detroit, it remains, I believe unsolved). About the bloody tennis shoe picture, I must have missed that. Also the theory that Ronald Sr. was standing up when shot I think has been highly disputed. \"Either the most complex and sophisticated hoax in the history of Anthropology has continued for centuries without being exposed or the most manlike and largest non human primate has managed to survive in parts of North America and remains undiscovered by modern science.\" It never ceases to amaze me the belief of Mrs. DeFeo actually looking for a hand gun to fire from her bed in the early morning hours at her own son after been awaken by gunfire aimed at her husband . When Mrs. DeFeo was found later that evening, she was found clutching her necklace underneath her body. If she really were looking for a hand gun, say, in her nightstand drawer, her body wouldn't have been found as it were. I believe Mr. DeFeo didn't make it a common practice to sleep under cover, possibly because of his weight. As for the pillows found underneath him and not his head resting on them, I sleep like this every night, so that is not unusually peculiar to me. Just for the record, Dawn's wound was most horrific; however, from the entry and exit wounds of the purported trajectory of the bullet, there wouldn't have been splatter on her headboard as the exit wound was the left side of her head she was resting on. And it's a huge leap to state Dawn had half her face blown off. The left side of her face concaved to the confines of the human skull and the bullet's gases at point of entry causing an implosion. \"Everywhere I went wuz like uh telephone; no answer.\" Thanks for the welcome...I read Mr. Defeo's autopsy report on Tracey Defeo's website where it speaks of 2 gunshot wounds and gives the specific area. As for the remark about Mrs. Defeo having a handgun, this was stated in a report filed by the Suffolk police that I read, not something I made up. Although I am not questioning the sleeping habits of Mr. Defeo not having a blanket but I am sure not every member in the house was sleeping with a blanket up to their neck and bundled up like they were found, and if they were I would have to say it would have been somewhat cold to a point where someone no matter how heavy they were wouldnt be sleeping almost naked with not even a thin sheet covering them. Also I understand your explanation of Dawns bullet wound but anyone being shot in the head at point blank range with anything smaller then a rifle which is what was used would cause SOME type of splatter that is totally impossible to say it wouldnt. She had an exit wound as you said, when a bullet has an exit wound blood along with a bullet comes so clearly there should have been some kind of splatter. In the court transcript the medical examiner described to having half her face blown off, that is what I read. lori52976 wrote: Well the father was also shot 2 times, once in the front (kidney area) and in the back. Wrong. Both of Mr. DeFeo’s entrance wounds were in his back."

{
"question": "Why do you believe that this picture of the tennis shoe has ANYTHING to do with the DeFeo crime scene?",
"answer": "lori52976 wrote: As for the remark about Mrs. Defeo having a handgun, this was stated in a report filed by the Suffolk police that I read, not something I made up. lori52976 wrote: Also I understand your explanation of Dawns bullet wound but anyone being shot in the head at point blank range with anything smaller then a rifle which is what was used would cause SOME type of splatter that is totally impossible to say it wouldnt. Wrong. There is an article on Snopes.com titled The Last Interrogation that shows how it is ENTIRELY possible for a point blank gunshot to result in NO splatter (Warning: graphic content). And aside from being pretty harmless, neither was found in the nightstand (which is where Ronnie claimed his mother was reaching, IIRC). And just as Astonio said earlier, her body positioning shows Ronnie was incorrect. 1) The carpeting in the DeFeo crime scene photos is pristine. In fact the entire DeFeo house is immaculate. 2) The carpeting in the \"bloody shoe photo\" is disgusting -- filled with dirt and hair and dust. It looks like it hasn't been vaccumed or cleaned in years. 3) The carpeting in the \"bloody shoe photo\" is orange. Note in the DeFeo crime scene pix that there is no orange carpeting anywhere. And that's all you need do to prove to yourself that the bloody shoe photo came from another house. Too bad the brilliant self-proclaimed \"investigative journalist\" Ric Osuna didn't bother looking at his own photos before including the bloody shoe photo in his book -- for now he looks like a fool. But don't feel bad. When people stumble across Tracey's or Ric's websites, it is easy to be misled by the stuff they say and by the way they present their evidence. Step into our debriefing lounge. We serve hot cocoa. In response to your snopes.com theory, I checked it out."

{
"question": "Are you kidding me with that?",
"answer": "Its a man in a police interrogation room that picks up the cops gun that the cop LEFT in the room with his keys on the table ( I mean that alone should give a clue as to how authentic this video is) and the man proceeds to shoot himself. Even if this was a REAL video and I use the term IF, the gun is COMPLETELY different from the rifle Ronnie Defeo used. High powered rifles carry out high velocity which in turn causes a much different gun shot wound then the one shown in this video. The top of the article you told me about even says it may not be authentic...regardless different weapon different results. ...and a .45 handgun is not exactly a pellet gun (or BB gun). Right it isnt a pellet gun but its also certainly not a .35 Caliber Marlin rifle....you cant even compare that to what this guy was using. I respect your opinion but this is mine. lori52976, believe me when I say, I do respect your opinion. That being said, apart of the many injustices surrounding the DeFeos stem from conjecture. It's the idea we may have in our minds of how the murders transpired vs. the facts of the case. There have been too many \"theories\" or out and out lies about those early morning hours that have been published that it misleads anyone undertaking research to any degree about the case. I can safely say, we here at the board trade back and forth the facts of the case vs. that said conjecture to either discern the truth or to uncover the motivations of those conjectures. Not so arguably, the circumstances have been debated for over three decades. In any event, those things which spring to mind regarding the DeFeo murders aren't necessarily the way the crime took place at all. Yes, truly horrific, but not as fantastic as others would want the public to believe. The reason I can state respect of your opinions is that in the areas you brought up, we can only debate those points because those are the facts missing from the case, i.e., Dawn's headboard, the manner in which Butch killed his family, his movements, all of which, we can only piece together and could still be very far off from what really happened. Please note, at this particular forum, we will respond to posts based on the evidence which encompasses a great deal dependent upon what area we are discussing. It's new members such as yourself that keep the board alive, per se, by coming forward with your opinions and allowing the board's members to respond from the information we have readily at hand. So, with that, welcome to the board! No it is NOT. Watch it AGAIN, please. And please, by all means read the entire article. Thanks. i had the rare privilege of seeing ALL the photos once. In fact i showed them to a forensic pathologist, a the college i attended. He said to me it didn't appear that the bodies were shot then moved. He did tell me that from what he saw on Dawns pic, he agrees with me, there was no fight before she was shot. In his professional opinion, they were all shot as they slept. the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.\""

"question": "I am interested in hearing ideas on why nobody moved from their beds when the gunshots went off ... or even why no neighbours heard it?",
"answer": "I read the above theories and I find them credible and possible weighed against evidence based on the photographs and forensic / ballistic evidence - I always thought the victims remained in their beds. It is possible that DeFeo Sr probably was sleeping with the sheets off the bed and was lying there in that position when he was shot. I don't think any of them had the chance to react. I could give ideas but I am not sure how they could not hear the gunshots going off inside the house ... but even more interesting is how the neighbours didn't. \"May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.\" lori52976 wrote: Right it isnt a pellet gun but its also certainly not a .35 Caliber Marlin rifle....you cant even compare that to what this guy was using. I respect your opinion but this is mine. I can't watch the video at work here but if it indeed was a .45 then that's a bigger bullet than the .35, but it's a slower moving bullet which at close range does more damage than a faster moving bullet like the .35 Remington that Butchie used."

The ONLY 2 Reasons for Dawn NOT getting out of bed. 1.- She guessed that Butchie would eventually have killed them and she lay there to ride out the storm(Awake). 2.- She knew what he was going to do beforehand and was expecting it. In EVERY single account I have heard Butchie tell of the night in Question, he ALWAYS wrestles with Dawn and the gun. I mean before he was arrested, not at the police station when he said it was the mob, but since... yeah. it would be alot, that would have been alot. Seven seconds.\" - Ronald J. DeFeo Jr."

We like to give power users the option of ignoring this message and cleaning anyway by clicking on the red \"ignore\" warning button. The instability you see is because you had Firefox running while iBoostUp was cleaning some cache files - this is why we suggest that you press the green \"close\" button when the cache cleaner's recommendation comes up. Browsing will be back to normal (and possibly faster) after you close (i.e [cmd] + q or menubar Firefox -> Quit) and re-open Firefox."

"question": "What is a crash report and how do I find one?",
"answer": "Crash reports are generated by OS X whenever an application encounters an error that causes it to terminate ungracefully. You can select then copy and paste them into an existing email or new text file using TextEdit.app or alternatively you can right-click and select email. The Boost Now button is disabled when a Memory Boost is not currently required (i.e there is plenty of free RAM available) - it will automatically be enabled once you're running low on memory. In these instances the \"Purchase Now\" button is also disabled as we wouldn't want you to purchase the Booster and then find that a boost is not currently necessary. The Mac App Store's in-app purchasing servers occasionally go down for maintenance or other reasons, in case of an error with your purchase please wait a few minutes then try again. In cases where iTunes shows your purchase has been completed but the item isn't enabled you can simply purchase again - you will not be charged if you've already paid for a particular feature. If repeated purchase attempts are failing, please ensure you have the latest version of iBoostUp installed by checking the \"Updates\" tab in your Mac App Store window. Attempt your purchase(s) again - if you've paid already then you will not be charged again. For ongoing issues with purchasing please contact us via the support address at the end of this FAQ. If you've inadvertently removed a file using Duplicate File Finder you can simply recover it from the Trash. iBoostUp's Quick Cleaner only detects and removes log and other temporary files from folders which are used for temporary files by the System, as such it is simply not possible to have lost any iTunes media or mailboxes as a result of a quick clean. In addition to this you are given the opportunity to review files detected for removal by clicking \"More Information\" on the results screen. While the application will attempt to detect files that you want to keep, if you store files in non-standard system folders which are typically used for temporary files (especially system cache) then there is a chance those files will be removed. This is not specific to iBoostUp but also to other applications that attempt to restore space used by temporary files. The obvious solution is to only store files in standard user directories, not system directories, especially folders used by the system for temporary storage. In case you have cleaned files you'd like to recover then the best option would be to use an unerase product as quickly as possible after removing the files. We have an active development and release schedule. Please regularly check your Mac App Store's updates tab to make sure you've always got the latest and greatest version of iBoostUp. Question: I've purchased Duplicate File Finder but the \"Begin Scan\" button is disabled."
},
{
"question": "What should I do?",
"answer": "Answer: Please make sure you've selected folder(s) to scan by using the [+] button. Duplicate File Finder is only available as an in-app purchase if your Mac is running OS Lion (10.7) or above. Disk Health is only available if you are logged in using an admin account. Please check your account type under Users & Groups in Applications -> System Preferences. Some users have reported an issue after a recently applied Apple update which is resolved after rebooting their Mac. Application Shrinker is only available as an in-app purchase if your Mac is running OS Lion (10.7) or above."
},
{
"question": "I've re-installed Mac OS, do I need to purchase Memory Booster, App Shrinker, etc again?",
"answer": "To restore a previous purchase, simply click \"Purchase Now\" and select \"restore\" once the iBoostUp shop window has loaded. You will not be charged again. Please make sure you are signed in using the same Apple ID you originally purchased with."
},
{
"question": "I think I've found a bug, what information should I send to help fix it?",
"answer": "Disk Health may take several minutes to complete, depending on the size, type and current health of your disk. Additionally the progress bar might not always be accurate on Macs equipped with SSD drives. Please be patient while the repair completes and note that subsequent repairs will be faster than the first time. Also note that you are able to use other parts of iBoostUp while the disk is being repaired. Please correct the issue, and if the problem persists contact Apple or your banking institution. To prevent accidental deletion, iBoostUp prompts you with a forced delay of 10 seconds before allowing you to confirm emptying of your downloads folder. If you've emptied your downloads folder and would like to recover the files then simply download them again or see our advice regarding recovering deleted files . App Shrinker never modifies your original Application files, but instead creates a folder in the location of your choosing which contains shrunken versions for your inspection. Once you are satisfied that the shrunken versions function correctly, you should manually replace the originals using Finder. If you don't replace the originals then you should remove the shrunk versions to prevent duplicated \"Open with\" entries. The price of each optional iBoostUp feature is shown in the Mac App store under the \"available in-app purchases\" heading, you are also prompted in iBoostUp itself before any charges are incurred. iBoostUp provides a large number of features at no cost and others at incredible value so we are unable to offer you any discounts. If the problem persists, please help us troubleshoot by sending support your iBoostUp and Mac OS X versions plus a list of your installed applications. We welcome general feedback and appreciate reviews from our satisfied users, when sending feedback to our support address (listed below) please include \"feedback\" in the subject line. Looking forward to hearing from you! Application Uninstaller is only available as an in-app purchase if your Mac is running OS Lion (10.7) or above. Due to technical and compatibility reasons, we have 3 editions of iBoostUp available. As we work on updating the different versions, there are times when they are not all in sync but they eventually all sync up version wise so please bear with us. Any available updates to your edition of iBoostUp will automatically be shown in-app (if you downloaded and installed from www.iboostup.com) or via the Mac App Store if you installed from there. Battery Health is only displayed if your Mac has a built in battery or UPS connected. Uninstalling is the same as for any other self-contained Mac application: simply make sure iBoostUp is not currently open and drag the icon from your Applications folder to the trash. If you try to perform a quick clean and the “Remove All” button is always greyed out then please click the iBoostUp menubar and then Reset all of my Preferences. This may occur after you upgrade your operating system. If your question is not answered by this FAQ then you can contact iBoostUp support via email. We aim to satisfy all iBoostUp related support requests, but as iBoostUp is a free product we may be unable to reply to each message individually. Please contact iBoostUp support and occasionally check back at this FAQ page. Note: we do not typically offer customer support via Twitter or any other social network, please email your support requests to the above adress. We've been discussing the issue with Apple and in they've requested more information in cases where the steps at the start of the FAQ couldn't resolve the error. Please save and send the log files to our support address."

"answer": "Ideally, mount your Smart Home Motion Detector at a height of 2.20 m to 2.70 m - at a location where someone is likely to pass through. Make sure that there are no fans, radiators or windows in the surveillance area. The Bosch Smart Home motion detector uses passive infra-red technology. All bodies (people, animals, vehicles, trees, etc.) emit infra-red heat radiation. The motion detector measures and compares the infra-red radiation in its area of detection, but does not emit any radiation itself and is thus passive."
},
{
"question": "What is the theft protection?",
"answer": "The theft protection only works reliably when screw-mounted. If anyone forcefully removes the motion detector from the wall/corner, part of the motion detector stays behind, which can send a signal to the controller and thus to the connected smartphone."
},
{
"question": "How often should I test the motion detector?",

"answer": "Every day, smoke detectors with Dual Ray Technology reliably protect thousands of industrial buildings such as shopping centres, office complexes and airports all around the world. Even the smallest of smoke particles are reliably detected with the ultra-precise technology. Dual Ray works with two LEDs in the blue and infra-red ranges. The result is an extremely reliable fire detection system with a minimum of false alarms. Dual Ray Technology features an ISP algorithm (ISP = Intelligent Signalling Processing) based on Bosch's decades of experience in the field of professional fire detection. A smoke detector can save lives. In Germany alone, there are about 6,000 severe injuries due to fires every year. Approximately 80 % of all fire accidents occur in private homes. Approximately 70 % of the burn victims' injuries are caused by fires at night that started while they were sleeping. A smoke detector detects and reports a fire hazard at an early stage and can thus avoid accidents and injuries."
},
{
"question": "What is the advantage of the automated telephone call?",
"answer": "In case of fire a call gateway will call you automatically on the number you have saved. A call to a mobile device represents the highest possible escalation level in case of fire. We will only call you in the case of a fire. After the call, you will be able to find further details in the Twinguard app. During first-time commissioning, select a fire service number for your country (e.g. 112 for Germany or 999 for the United Kingdom)."
},
{
"question": "Is the fire service called directly in the event of a fire?",
"answer": "No. The fire service is not called directly by the Bosch Smart Home Twinguard. You still have to call the fire service manually. You can call the fire service directly from the app in the event of a fire. The emergency number is automatically saved for the respective country selected."
},
{
"question": "What is the heartbeat function?",

If you wish, you can also deactivate this function via the Bosch Twinguard app."
},
{
"question": "What does the night mode feature do?",
"answer": "The Twinguard has a night-mode function. This means non-urgent information, such as low battery warnings, can be postponed until the next day, so that the alarm does not disturb you unnecessarily during the night with a battery warning that can be delayed until daytime. No need to worry, the battery has enough power to delay notification with an easy mind. Night Mode is active from 8 pm to 8 am."
},
{
"question": "How long is the battery service life?",
"answer": "The Twinguard app clearly shows the battery status of all detectors. You can find them in Menu -> Rooms. The typical lifespan of the batteries is two years. If the battery capacity of a detector drops below a critical level, you will receive an additional push message and a red info bar will appear on your home screen. It is only hidden again once the battery is replaced. You can perform a test alarm on the Twinguard conventionally via the control button on the detector or via the app. If you do so, the alarm is sounded at reduced volume for one Twinguard only. If the test result is positive, a blue light signal is emitted for about a second on the wraparound LED strip . We recommend testing alarms on a monthly basis. If the test alarm is not successful, please contact our customer service department without delay. The device may have to be replaced immediately. Please note that you can only run a test alarm via the Twinguard app if your smartphone is the same W-Lan network as your Twinguard."
},
{
"question": "What is the advantage of the different sensitivities, depending on where Twinguard is installed?",
"answer": "During commissioning, your Twinguard is assigned the optimum sensitivity for its room. Twinguard has three different sensitivity levels (low, medium, high), which are automatically set for the type of room selected. For example, a bedroom or children's bedroom requires very high sensitivity so that a fire alarm is quickly triggered in the event of a fire. Similarly, a kitchen is assigned a lower sensitivity as many different influencing factors can occur here, for example due to cooking (steam)."
},
{

"question": "What happens when the optimum range is exceeded or fails to be reached?",
"answer": "The Twinguard app notifies you with recommendations if the air quality in a room is outside the optimum range. You can activate and deactivate these notifications. They are deactivated by default. You can also manually adjust the notification intervals."
},
{
"question": "Where can I get help on installing the Amazon devices or setting up the voice control service 'Alexa'?",
"answer": "All necessary information can be found on the Internet on the pages of Amazon. From the main menu go to \"Departments - Echo & Alexa - Content & Resources - Meet Alexa\". Here you will find lots of useful background information about the devices and services of Amazon's \"Alexa\". If you still have open questions, please contact Amazon Customer Service directly and they will provide you with expert advice on supported devices and Amazon specific voice control."
},
{
"question": "Which devices from Amazon do I have to purchase so that I can operate my Bosch Smart Home components via 'Alexa'?",
"answer": "Currently, the functions of the Bosch Smart Home components which are already available for the voice control service \"Alexa\" can be accessed via most of the devices offered by Amazon in your Country. As soon as they are supporting the voice control service \"Alexa\". Exempted are currently the Amazon \"Echo Spot\", the Amazon \"Echo Buttons\" and the Amazon \"Show\" - but we will support these devices in the course of next year. Please note: It is only possible to control the functions which can also be executed with the device where you trigger the voice control. So you cannot e.g. activate via an Amazon \"Echo Dot\" the video stream of a camera, because the \"Echo Dot\" itself does not feature a video-enabled display."
},
{
"question": "Does 'Alexa' always listen and if so, how can I switch off the 'Listen Mode' ?",
"answer": "! If the respective devices that support Amazon's voice control service \"Alexa\" are turned on, then \"Alexa\" is actually listening constantly to capture the commands. For your privacy, you can switch off the \"ears\" of \"Alexa\" in the form of the built-in microphone directly on most of the supporting devices or, if you want to be very sure, for example, via the Bosch Smart Home Smart Plug or by simply \"plug\" disconnect from the electricity. To disable voice control via \"Alexa\" on a permanent basis you neet to remove the respective \"Skills\" from your Amazon user account."
},
{
"question": "What do I have to keep in mind when connecting the Bosch Smart Home devices to 'Alexa'?",
"answer": "You need a Bosch account in the Bosch Cloud (eg your existing Bosch Smart Camera Access) and your Bosch Smart Camera (360° or Eyes), which should already be installed and functional. You also need a valid Amazon user account. The connection itself can be carried out on all devices, where you can call the webshop of Amazon or the corresponding app. Via which Amazon 'Alexa' products can I view the image of the camera. This will initially be possible via the Amazon \"Fire TV\" stick and the Amazon \"Fire TV\" box. In a next step, Amazon's \"Show\" will be able to display the images or live stream of your Bosch Smart Home Cameras. The display of the images or the video stream can only be initiated directly via the voice remote control of the respective Amazon \"Fire TV\" device, since Amazon does not support the function of passing commands over, for example: an \"echo dot\" to a \"Fire TV\" component. Important Note: All devices supported by \"Alexa\" that have no display cannot display a video stream or images, and \"Alexa\" directly provides feedback that cameras are not supported by this device."
},
{
"question": "What are the minimum system requirements for unrestricted use of the full functionality of 'Alexa' related to the Bosch Smart Home products?",
"answer": "In case of using our Bosch Smart Camera products, we recommend an Internet connection at a stable speed of at least 6 Mbit downstream and 1 Mbit upstream. In all other cases it is recommended to take note of and to realize the system requirements stated on the respective packaging of our components."
},
{
"question": "What do I need to watch 'Alexa' the video stream of my Bosch Smart Home Camera on a TV?",
"answer": "To do this, you need your installed and working Bosch Smart Home Camera, an Amazon \"FireTV\" product with the corresponding \"voice remote control\" that supports voice control service \"Alexa\", and a video-capable device connected to the \"Fire TV\" product. A stable internet connection at a speed of at least 6 Mbit down and 1 Mbit upstream is required as well. After you have assigned the \"Alexa\" skill of the Bosch Smart Home Camera via your Amazon user account, you can use the command \"Alexa, show me the picture of the (name) camera\" to show the corresponding stream. 'Alexa' does not recognize my camera name or my camera commands or almost never, in another person, this works very well. Example: 'Door' is with me understood as 'four', or 'floor'. Even the intelligent voice control service \"Alexa\" still needs to learn something in some places. Amazons \"Alexa\" slowly turns on the user, after a few successful calls, Alexa recognizes the camera name increasingly better. Speak slower and with a rather deep voice, with clear pauses between the words and less local accent. What Alexa understood, you can read in the history. To do so, please start the Amazon \"Alexa\" app, go to the menu item \"- Settings - History\". Somehow the connection of the camera via the Amazon user account failed. The addition of the 'skill' has apparently failed when entering the user data of my Bosch user account!"
},
{
"question": "What can I do?",
"answer": "Please create your Bosch user account first. Then log in to the Smart Camera app. Now link the skill in your Amazon user account with \"Alexa\". You will integrate Amazon 'Alexa' as a partner in your system."
},
{
"question": "How do you deal with the topic of data privacy, security and protection and does this cut across with the former value proposition?",
"answer": "With Bosch Smart Home, data privacy, protection and security and the associated rights of users have top priority, which is why Bosch Smart Home ensures maximum security. This still applies to Bosch Smart Home and our solutions. We deal intensively with customer needs and have discussed with numerous potential smart home clients. Language is an interesting control option in the smart home context, which is growing in popularity. We also want to meet this customer need with the option of controlling the Bosch Smart Home System via Amazon \"Alexa\". Each user can thus decide for himself whether he wants to take advantage of the voice control service \"Alexa\", and thus agrees to the data security, protection and privacy conditions of Amazon. For customers who have a high data security / privacy need, Bosch Smart Home with the Smart Home App, the universal switch and the scenario manager to control (without the use of voice control) is still the right choice."
},
{
"question": "When will I be able to control the other Bosch Smart Home products via Amazon's 'Alexa'?",
"answer": "Currently, you can already operate selected functions of the Bosch Smart Home Indoor Camera 360 and the Outdoor Camera Eyes via Alexa as well as some of our Bosch Smart Home System components. We are working hard to ensure that you will be able to address many other functions of the components of your Bosch Smart Home system via \"Alexa\" in the future. We will continue to expand the functionality in the future."
},
{
"question": "How do I activate Amazon's 'Alexa' for my Bosch Smart Home Camera?",
"answer": "To do so, you need to assign the appropriate \"skill\" with your Alexa product through your Amazon user account. Please keep in mind that not every Amazon product supports the full functionality of the \"Alexa\" controlled device. Please remember to let Alexa search for new devices intial after adding another device."
},
{
"question": "How do I disable Amazon's 'Alexa' again?",
"answer": "For this you have to remove the corresponding \"Skill\" via your Amazon user account. For a temporary deactivation of Alexa often enough the appropriate controls on the devices which are supporting \"Alexa\" or the temporary separation from the power - e.g. with the help of a Smart Plug from Bosch."
},
{
"question": "Can I operate my products even if 'Alexa' is switched off or has no function?",
"answer": "Even if \"Alexa takes a break,\" you can continue to operate and use your devices as before via the respective apps."
},
{
"question": "Why am I not able to turn off the camera via 'Alexa'?",
"answer": "This has been intentionally realized, as otherwise potentially unwanted \"guests\" could easily escape from a security-relevant recording even before entering a room by simply calling \"Alexa, switch off all cameras\"."
},
{
"question": "How do I prevent Amazons 'Alexa' from accidentally triggering any random commands remotely?",
"answer": "Basically, \"Alexa\" can be controlled remotely via the corresponding Amazon \"Alexa app\". Speech commands are accepted only to a limited extent, e.g. via the Amazon \"Music App\" - the functionality is then comparable to that of an Amazon \"Echo Dot\" device. In this respect, a malfunction is possible only to a limited extent and only with direct contact via the unlocked mobile device. If you want to avoid this risk, you can either disconnect the Amazon devices at home from the electricity or the Internet or secure your mobile device against unauthorized third party access. I have heard that I can also watch the camera image of friends or neighbors about 'Alexa'."
},
{
"question": "Why does that make sense?",
"answer": "Your parents can watch the stream and clips of this camera in their app. New: Your parents can also watch the stream on \"Fire TV\". Privacy is maintained, as only the owner of the camera has the function to put the camera in privacy mode. Friends and neighbors: ... are in a short while away from home, for this time you can run the camera on your TV and check that, for example: children, pets or craftsmen only do what they are supposed to. Grandparents have a \"Grandson TV\" so they can interact with the children more often. When linking the camera to the Amazon account, errors occur: 'An error occurred while linking to Bosch Smart Home."
},
{
"question": "Please try again later' - What can I do ?",
"answer": "! You may not have set up any \"Alexa\" devices in the Amazon account yet. Solution: Please install and start up your Bosch Smart Home Camera first and set it up using the Bosch Smart Camera App. Then please try again. The setting of your Nationality was not made and \"Alexa\" does not know in which language \"she should listen\". Solution: Please check your \"home country\" in your Amazon user account (Amazon.de - My Amazon - My Content and Devices)."
},
{
"question": "Why do I not hear any sound when I view the camera live stream via 'Alexa' on an Amazon 'FireTV' product?",
"answer": "At the moment we only support the streaming of the video data via the Amazon \"FireTV\" products. The transmission of the audio data will be provided most probably by mid of 2018."
},
{
"question": "How can I connect the Bosch Smart Home System to 'Alexa' ?",
"answer": "Activate Amazon Alexa in your Bosch Smart Home app under Settings - Privacy - External Accounts Amazon Alexa. Then activate the Bosch Smart Home Skill in the Amazon Alexa App and search for available smart home devices. All Bosch Smart Home System devices are then available to you. 'Alexa' does not recognize my room or component name. Even the intelligent voice control service \"Alexa\" still needs to learn something in some places. Amazons \"Alexa\" slowly learns from the user, after a few successful calls, Alexa recognizes the corresponding names increasingly better. Speak slower and with a rather deep voice, with clear pauses between the words and without dialect coloring. What Alexa understood, you can read in the Amazon Alexa app. Go to the menu item \"- Settings - History\"."
},
{
"question": "Do I need another skill for Bosch Smart Home System and Cameras?",
"answer": "Currently yes. You need the Bosch Smart Camera Skill for your cameras and the Bosch Smart Home Skill for the system. Note that if you add new products at a later time, you'll need to restart the search in the Amazon Alexa app for new devices."
},
{
"question": "How do I disable Amazon 'Alexa' again?",
"answer": "You can remove the \"skill\" at any time. Go to the Amazon Alexa app for this. In addition, you can deactivate the Amazon Alexa function under Settings => Privacy => External Accounts in your Bosch Smart Home app."
},
{
"question": "What features are available with 'Alexa'?",
"answer": "You can use Amazonas Alexa to control your room temperature, your smart plugs and your scenarios. Light and shutter control as well as scenarios including the alarm system are currently not possible."
},
{
"question": "Why is it not possible to activate scenarios including my alarm system?",
"answer": "This has been deliberately realized, as otherwise potentially unwanted \"guests\" can deactivate their alarm system even before entering a room through a simple \"Alexa, activate scenario home\". I cannot control the devices immediately after integration of Amazon 'Alexa' via voice control."
},
{
"question": "What's going on there?",
"answer": "It may take up to 2 minutes for Alex's Alexa to finally assign the device names to the appropriate devices. Please be patient. My room name is not recognized. Names for rooms and devices are best recognized if they are well known words. So study instead of Max Mustermann's room. Amazon has trained the language recognition on common names. Amazon 'Alexa' does not find my device / scenario."
},
{
"question": "What can I do?",
"answer": "Please activate the Philips Hue Skill in the Amazon Alexa app and search for new Smart Home devices. Afterwards you can control your Philips Hue products."
},
{
"question": "Why is it not possible to control my lighting control and shutter control?",
"answer": "In the course of the year 2018, we are also working to make the lighting control and the shutter control system operable with Amazon Alexa."
},
{
"question": "Which devices can I integrate?",
"answer": "At present, you can already conveniently integrate appliances from the washing, drying and rinsing sectors into the system and thus scenarios / automation. Further integrations of HomeConnect products from the household appliance sector are currently being tested. Please understand, however, that we cannot give a time period. We will inform you as soon as concrete information is available."

"question": "What are good use cases for Confide?",
"answer": "More specifically, common use cases include: Job referrals, HR issues, deal discussions, and even some good-natured office gossip. Off-the-record conversations happen all the time in the offline world — phone calls, hallway discussions, meet-ups, grabbing lunch or coffee. We are bringing this offline experience online, in a fast, easy and efficient way. We think the concept of the digital permanent record is crazy."
},
{
"question": "Why should all of our online communication be around forever, with copies of things being spewed and stored in people’s inboxes and the Cloud?",
"answer": "Imagine if everything you ever SAID (spoken words) were stored like that and the person you said it to had a copy of it. We think this is fundamentally broken and we set out to fix it. We created Confide to bring off-the-record professional communication to the digital world. Honestly, we built Confide for ourselves. We enjoyed using it privately, and wanted to bring it to the world."

},
{
"question": "How does it prevent screenshots?",
"answer": "Screenshots have the potential of making the impermanent permanent. Confide prevents screenshots with our patent-pending ScreenShield technology. For extra privacy on iOS and Android, our patented reading experience ensures that only one line of the message is unveiled at a time and that the sender’s name is not simultaneously visible. ScreenShield for iOS is a new technology which is only supported when the message recipient is using a recent version of the Confide app. But don’t worry, older versions of Confide are still screenshot-protected by our reading experience."

"answer": "Confide messages sent via iMessage will not appear in the main Confide app, and vice versa. These are two separate Confide apps and experiences. Due to technical limitations imposed by Apple on iMessage apps, Confide for iMessage does not offer the same level of screenshot protection as the main app. I need help with Confide for iMessage."

"question": "Can you get a remodel loan on my own home?",
"answer": "We can close our loans in 7 days. We can lend up to 80% of the purchase price and repairs, loan must be less then 65% of the after repaired value. Our minimum credit score is 600. Credit score and financial strength will factor into the maximum Loan to Value, down payment, points, and interest rate. We will lend under 600 fico but with a lower loan-to value. We currently only lend on non owner occupied single family houses 2,3,4 units, condos and townhomes. We also broker on multifamily homes, commercial properties, raw land, or new construction nationwide. Our ideal house has 3+ bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and is located in a well maintained neighborhood. We currently lend both residential and commercial investment property transactions. Our focus is residential investment and commercial properties throughout San Diego County area including sorounding counties. We also lend in Chicago and Southern Florida. Our minimum loan amount is usually $40,000.00. We occasionally fund smaller loans, however our minimum loan origination fee is $3,000.00 or 5 points. An appraisal is performed by us. We do not accept third party appraisals. We determine the after repaired value (ARV) of the subject property using a competitive market analysis or comparative market analysis (CMA). The CMA will use sold listings from the MLS to determine the estimated after repaired value (ARV). The comps used in the CMA will be from similar properties in terms of size, age, condition, construction, etc. within a radius of 0.3 miles from the subject property that have sold within the previous 3 months. Yes, depending upon the buyer’s credit and financial strength, we can finance 80% of the purchase price and 80% of the repairs up to 65% of the after repaired value (ARV) of the property. Maybe, we prefer the borrower pay their own points and closing costs (i.e. seller paid closing costs are not permitted). Interest payments are made monthly beginning on the 1st day of each month. We do not require any upfront fees, application fees. Once we have approved your loan, we will perform inspection and a minimum fee of $200 is due upon inspection. After Inspection we will instruct our attorney to order a title search on the property and prepare closing documents. The borrower will be required to pay for the document preparation in advance to our attorney."
},
{
"question": "Can we close with my attorney or do you require we close with your attorney?",
"answer": "All loans will be closed with our attorneys. The only exception will be when the seller is a bank and the bank requires that the closing be held at their attorney’s office."

{
"question": "What supplies do I need to start a janitorial business?",
"answer": "Cleaning services businesses often order bulk cleaners, concentrates, and other items from janitorial suppliers. Depending on your business, you might also need to invest in carpet cleaning equipment and other specialized cleaning tools. Though buying in bulk helps you save money, these purchases add up quickly. A cleaning company can easily spend thousands of dollars when ordering janitorial supplies. To protect these investments, many cleaning services purchase Property Insurance. This policy reimburses your business when your property is lost or destroyed because of a fire, theft, or covered weather event."

http://adonaisprings.com/faq-about-antimicrobial-copper-mdcu29/ | [
{
"question": "Question: How can copper punch holes in a bacterium?",
"answer": "Every cell’s outer membrane, including that of a single cell organism like a bacterium, is characterized by a stable electrical micro-current. This is often called “trans-membrane potential”, and is, literally, a voltage difference between the inside and the outside of a cell. It is strongly suspected that when a bacterium comes in contact with a copper surface, a short circuiting of the current in the cell membrane can occur. This weakens the membrane and creates holes. Another way to make a hole in a membrane is by localized oxidation or “rusting.” This happens when a single copper molecule, or copper ion, is released from the copper surface and hits a building block of the cell membrane (either a protein or a fatty acid). If the “hit” occurs in the presence of oxygen, we speak of “oxidative damage”, or “rust.” An analogy is rust weakening and making holes in a piece of metal."

https://torzosurfaces.com/faq/ | [
{
"question": "How are the TorZo products made?",
"answer": "TorZo infuses acrylic resin into composite boards in order to create a hard and durable surface product that is suitable for high wear applications. In addition, the infusion process adds a desirable look that makes the panels appealing to architects and designers. Un-infused, these composite board materials are typically used as decorative or backing applications because they do not have the necessary hardness and durability to hold up in these applications."
},
{
"question": "How do the products contribute to LEED points?",
"answer": "We do not claim that the acrylic resin that we infuse with is “green”. Our resin is an inert material that is nontoxic, which creates the hardness and durability needed to use TorZo products in high traffic environments. In our LEED summary sheet, we give a weight % of the acrylic resin that is in the board. When using TorZo products in a LEED project, the user can claim only a % of the applicable LEED points. On a relative basis, among green products, the TorZo sustainable content is considered high. Below is a summary of these percentages."
},
{
"question": "Are the TorZo Surfaces products waterproof or stain proof?",
"answer": "The infusion process makes the TorZo surface products much more water and stain resistant, but it DOES NOT make them water or stain proof. The TorZo panel materials that we sell are “filled and sanded,” but do not have this final top coat pre-applied. Therefore, as part of the fabrication process, we require that a hard sealer and top coat, such as a catalyzed lacquer, varnish or polyurethane, etc, are applied. This coating gives the finished project its protection from water and stains. It is important to specify a full fill finish, meaning no pits, for all horizontal applications."
},
{
"question": "What is the fire rating on the TorZo products?",
"answer": "Four TorZo products have a Class “B” fire rating (Hemp, Drum, Parda, Indure). Two TorZo products have a Class “C” fire rating (Tiikeri, Orient). There are standard coatings on the market that can be applied which will give the TorZo products a Class “B” or Class “A” rating. Sherwin Williams has a product called “Sayerlack,” which provides a clear surface and does not detract from the look of TorZo. A water-based material manufactured by Flame Control will also work."
},
{
"question": "Can visible scratches on the surface coatings be repaired?",
"answer": "Many of the new polyurethanes are considered to be repairable coatings using rubbing compounds. Mohawk finishing has several different products, different ones for different gloss levels. Repairs are limited to superficial or minor scratches and do not apply to scratches that penetrate to the TorZo substrate. For these deeper scratches, the surface would need to be re-sanded and re-coated following the coating manufacturer’s recommendations."
},
{
"question": "What is the best way to fill surface voids that are associated with many of the TorZo products?",
"answer": "All of our products, with the exception of Indure and Parda, go through a “fill and sand” process in order to fill most of the surface voids. Indure and Parda do not have surface voids. It is important not to over-sand the surface or voids will be re-introduced. This will show up as “pitting” or “cratering” when a coating is applied. Tiikeri will still have some voids even after the fill and sand process is applied. It is important to have a full fill finish, meaning no pits, for all horizontal applications. This especially applies to Tiikeri. For smaller jobs, fabricators can use a best color match solid surface epoxy, a sawdust/super glue mixture, or some kind of wood filler. For larger jobs we recommend using either a zero VOC 2-part polymer epoxy called Crystal Sheen manufactured by Environment Technologies, Inc., or a polyester product distributed by Sherwin Williams. Both these products can essentially be applied by using a squeegee and for the Tiikeri it takes 2 applications to fully fill the voids. Following the fill process, any lacquer, urethane or conversion varnish can be applied."
},
{
"question": "What is the best way to “edge” the TorZo products?",
"answer": "Built-up edges, mitered edges and edge banding are the three edging techniques that are used on TorZo products. Refer to the TorZo Edge Support Document for more information."
},
{
"question": "What kind of adhesive is recommended for edge gluing or seaming?",
"answer": "TorZo recommends using a solid surface epoxy or like product for edge gluing or seaming applications. Titebond II type products will work but you need to allow for the longer dry times."
},
{
"question": "What type of adhesive is recommended for gluing the TorZo products to the substrate?",
"answer": "Liquid Nails, contact cement or most any silicon based adhesives are great for this application. Willamette Valley has a zero VOC adhesive similar to Liquid Nails called Extreme that works equally well. The zero VOC Crystal Sheen void filling product mentioned above can also be used to glue the TorZo products to a base substrate."
},
{
"question": "Is there a concern with different expansion or contraction rates between the TorZo products and the substrate materials?",
"answer": "No. These materials have very similar “minimal” expansion/contraction rates. It is always good when fabricating a mitered edge to allow for a 1/8” gap to accommodate any differences that that may arise in extreme environments."
},
{
"question": "What are the best applications for the TorZo products?",
"answer": "Over 95% of all TorZo products have been installed in commercial applications. TorZo was initially promoted primarily through commercial architects and designers. Also, there is currently greater demand for sustainable products in the commercial market as compared to the residential market. These installations include high-wear commercial environments such as airports, restaurants, banks, libraries, universities, middle and high schools, a fire station, professional offices, museums, grocery stores, condo projects, etc. *Undermount sinks are not appropriate for any of our agricultural fiber products, including Durum and Tiikeri. This is due to the coarse core that is associated with these raw products. Though some of these products have been used in this application successfully, all exposed voids on the edges must be filled with epoxy and then sealed and coated with the same products applied to the surface. Failing to do so will allow water to penetrate into the core and cause flaking or bubbling of the surface over time. TorZo materials have a janka ball test rating of over 1,800 pounds. For comparison, wood species like oak and maple have janka ball test ratings of 1,200 pounds. If a commercial coating is applied, all TorZo materials have the ability to be used as flooring. TorZo has recently introduced its first line of flooring (both plank and tile), manufactured using the Orient material. Orient has a janka ball rating of almost 5,000 pounds. The 6-step coating process includes two coats of a ceramic-based coating that makes the product appropriate for almost any commercial flooring application. TorZo plans to introduce other flooring and tiling products in the future. Please see the TorZo product sales sheets for more testing data, which includes janka ball test ratings for each product."

"question": "Also, I hear that this camera can also be mounted with PL mount primes... Any suggestions on lower-cost, good PL primes that don't cost $10,000 for a set?",
"answer": "So fare, $10,000 us about the cheapest I have seen PL primes. We are in discussions with one of the PL mount lens manufacturers about building us OEM lenses. However, will still anticipate the cost of the new lenses to be around $2K a piece with wide angles being slightly more. This would mean a set of 3 could be had in the $6k range and a set of 4 in the $9K range (assuming the addtion of the pricier wide angle to the set)."
},
{
"question": "Do you think we should pursue such an offering?",
"answer": "BTW, Landon, please beware that with the c-mounts, you're getting what you pay for . . . these lenses are great optically, but horrible mechanically compared to a \"real\" cinema-designed PL-mount lens. For instance, the focus throw is very short, has a little bit of discernable play in it, and is not calibrated precisely. The iris ring does not rack smoothly (it has hard \"click\" points at each f-stop like a still-camera lens, and will jump to the click points when you reach them, so rolling the iris will never be smooth), and it's going to require an after-market modification for fitting the lens into a normal matte-box (the filter size is too small, so it won't fit a normal matte-box rig without light leaking through the back of the matte-box), and for fitting the lens with gears to work with a follow-focus. So, not trying to show you some \"miracle of cinema\" here with these lenses . . . they have been optimized for great optical performance, but they have not been optimized mechanically in any way whatsoever to the the requirements of the Cinema industry. They are though a great bang-for-the-buck. \"Do you think we should pursue such an offering?\" Go for it."
},
{
"question": "or Superspeed?",
"answer": "Whatever you do, don't cut corners with quality. And be sure and make the lens's able to produce an F stop of at least 1.3 or as high as 1.8, so we can try and get more shallow DOF with the 2/3\" camera."
},
{
"question": "I hear anything from $2,000 - $4,000 each... How much could one expect to pay for USED Super16mm PL primes?",
"answer": "I found a set of good, new PL primes called Optar Illumina, for $14,500.00 new. They are PL mount, primes, and come in a set of like 12mm - 50mm... They also feature an F stop of 1.3, which is pretty good. I was looking into those Optimas as well (though I would have only bought at most 4 for now). I decided instead to go with a Zeiss 12-120mm zoom. I was told that the Zeiss would still be sharper. Very fast lenses, those Optimas. Also, I think they are the only lens made specifically for Super 16. The only thing is quality control. Can't remember the specifics, but I read something about the fact that they should be re-greased and set up by whoever imports them."

https://www.deforest.k12.wi.us/district/2019-dasd-referendum-faq.cfm | [
{
"question": "What was the planning process used for this referendum?",
"answer": "Nov-Dec 2018 District Staffing and Programming Task Force to assess key indicators and considerations to better position the district to meet the needs of our students and to be able to recruit, hire and retain highly-qualified staff. DASD student enrollment continues to grow at a faster rate than previously projected. By 2025, enrollment at the elementary, middle, and high school levels is projected to exceed existing building capacity. Enrollment growth is projected to accelerate, with the District adding 1,000 more students by 2025, a nearly 30% increase. Common areas at the high school such as the cafeteria, kitchen, and library are undersized for existing and future student enrollment. Demand for gym space and athletic fields for district and community use continues to increase. Yahara Elementary School, DeForest Area Middle School, and DeForest Area High School need upgrades to provide flexible and collaborative learning environments that support today’s student-centered instructional practices and to improve safety and security infrastructure. Additional funding is needed to staff and operate the proposed new intermediate school and high school addition."
},
{
"question": "Why another referendum four years after the last one?",
"answer": "In 2014, the District and Community Advisory Committee studied enrollment growth and school facilities. Student enrollment projections were based on data provided by Applied Population Labs and Springsted. As shown in the following graph, DASD has surpassed the projections at a significantly faster pace (purple \"Actual\" enrollment line). The 2015 referendum addressed the immediate need to address elementary school capacity, specifically at two of our oldest elementary schools - Eagle Point Elementary School and Windsor Elementary School. These two projects also addressed aging buildings, as Eagle Point and a portion of Windsor were over 60 years old and key building systems had reached the end of their useful lives. Technical Education and Agri-Science labs were also renovated and expanded to create state-of-the-art space for STEAM programming (Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture & Math). A Technology Education classroom at the middle school was also remodeled for STEM. At Yahara Elementary School, the main office was moved to better support a secured entrance. The project also included creating safer separation of bus and parent traffic."
},
{
"question": "Is a referendum really necessary right now?",
"answer": "The CAC studied both the existing conditions of our facilities and the enrollment projections for the district. Both of those were significant factors to their recommendation to the School Board to seek a capital referendum. They identified a number of costly facility conditions and ADA compliance issues. In addition, existing enrollment was already creating some pressure on school district facilities like the middle school and the future enrollment projected for 2025 would be putting significant pressure at all three levels from elementary to high school. How fast or slow those projections become a reality is often the most difficult to predict, but as was learned from the 2014 CAC’s work, the district is positioned to realize a significant increase in student enrollment and our current facilities does not have the capacity or is in the condition for that increase in enrollment. Finally, a construction project of this scope takes three years to complete from design to construction. The further out solutions (expanding facilities) are completed, the closer the District is faced with increased capacity issues. The District will need to address ADA compliance issues sooner than later, the aging facilities will continue to create issues and inefficiencies, and solutions will continue to cost more in the future."
},
{
"question": "How long will this plan meet the district needs?",
"answer": "It is difficult to predict precisely, because a number of factors can influence school district enrollment growth, but what is being proposed does address capacity issues at the elementary, middle and high school for the foreseeable future based on current projections. It provides the district functional capacity for a more extended outlook particularly at the middle and high school levels. The CAC did identify that continued projected residential development in the southern part of the school district could create a need for an additional elementary around 2030."
},
{
"question": "What are the enrollment projections and capacity per school with this facilities solution?",
"answer": "Below is a chart that shows proposed enrollment-capacity projections. Click on image for larger version."
},
{
"question": "Was a new high school considered as an option?",
"answer": "The CAC considered a wide range of possible solutions to address the long-term facility needs of the district and our growing enrollment. One of the early solutions was to build a new high school for 1,600 students and renovate to accommodate moving the middle school to the high school and the middle school to become an intermediate. The CAC determined this option was not cost effective as a new high school for 1,600 students, less a land purchase, was estimated to cost approximately $140 million just for the high school alone. The CAC decided to explore other more cost effective options that still met the identified needs."
},
{
"question": "How soon will the new school and renovations be done?",
"answer": "The entire project will likely take three years to complete, with some components of the project coming on line beginning in 2021 (see below)."
},
{
"question": "What is meant by flexible, modern learning environments?",
"answer": "The learning facility and its infrastructure can play a significant role in helping students learn the necessary 21st Century skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, etc. Flexible, modern learning environments support integrated technology, dynamic collaboration, hands-on learning, transparency, and private/public partnerships. Flexible learning environments facilitate both small and large group instruction, in addition to regular classroom areas that allows for “student-centered” learning. Flexible spaces also have the ability to create smaller learning communities within a larger school."
},
{
"question": "(5th & 6th)?",
"answer": "District staff have not made any final decisions, because we really could do it either way across the building, or transition it over the three grade levels. Currently at the elementary schools, 4th grade students' core subjects are taught by one teacher in one classroom and move to other classrooms/teachers for specials (art, music, phy. ed.). Fifth and sixth grade students at the middle school currently are all located in a team pod, but move from teacher to teacher for their core subjects. Specials are treated the same with students moving to those classrooms/teachers. There are benefits to both grouping structures, whether it is stronger content specialty or stronger teacher relationships with a single homeroom teacher. District staff will be reviewing and weighing those benefits and challenges over the next several months after an approved referendum before making a final decision that would impact the overall design of the building. Teacher input would be sought for these decisions."
},
{
"question": "Why close two buildings if additional capacity is needed?",
"answer": "Both the Holum Educational Center and Morrisonville Elementary are buildings that present a number of compliance and infrastructure issues caused by the age of the facilities. In addition, both have site or structural limitations that make the cost to renovate or rebuild too costly."
},
{
"question": "Why does the District need a new pool?",
"answer": "The existing pool and adjacent locker rooms are quickly approaching or are at the end of their useful life. The structure and systems of the existing pool are beginning to fail or are beyond repair. Portions of the existing pool’s foundation have sunk creating issues with the filtration system and pressure on the structure. The existing pool at the high school is currently used for high school students (gym classes), DAHS Swim Teams, DFAC, Village of DeForest Park & Rec Summer swim lessons, and community lap and open swim. How will community access to pool, fields, etc."
},
{
"question": "be enhanced through this plan?",
"answer": "With the existing pool and north gym being remodeled and repurposed for other educational and school programming, a pool and three-station gymnasium addition will be built to recapture those facilities. This addition will be designed so it can be secured from the rest of the school to make it accessible for community use during the school day. Currently, the pool cannot be accessed by the public during the school day because of security protocol, despite the pool sitting vacant for portions of the school day. Securely sectioning off the addition will allow for community access and programming without any disruption to the high school day."
},
{
"question": "Can other revenue sources be used to fund the pool?",
"answer": "While that certainly is a possibility, that would likely be a post-referendum opportunity. A sponsorship could be explored if there are interested private or public organizations that could be utilized to reduce the amount borrowed or prepay debt. It is important to note that there have been both successful and disappointing examples of school district partnerships with private companies or municipalities around a pool project with a number of different factors contributing to those examples."
},
{
"question": "Could the Villages and the School District build a community pool together?",
"answer": "The Village of DeForest held a non-binding advisory referendum in November 2016 asking whether residents supported a tax increase to construct and operate a municipal swimming pool. 51.1 percent of DeForest voters opted in favor. Although we do work closely and collaboratively with our municipalities, our focuses are understandably different. We do engage in communications and try to be supportive of each other’s efforts. District and Village staff did hold preliminary conversations shortly after the advisory referendum. At this time, our District needs for an indoor competitive pool supporting our educational and athletic programming are more immediate, because the current pool’s infrastructure and systems are nearing the end of their useful life. Although the existing pool is heavily utilized by community groups and residents, a community aquatic facility would not align with district programming or use. It is important to note that the proposed new pool addition to the high school would continue to be utilized as it is currently, but will see an increase in community accessibility. The addition can be designed to allow the district to secure the pool from the rest of the high school during the school day allowing community programming to occur. This currently is not possible because of the challenges of maintaining security protocols at the high school."
},
{
"question": "Will this referendum take care of the District’s capital maintenance needs?",
"answer": "The capital project does address a significant amount of capital maintenance items, but does not address all of them. Annually the district budgets approximately $400,000 for capital maintenance projects to address larger items such as roofs, HVAC, etc. Projects are prioritized on the District's capital maintenance plan based on life expectancies and cost. Decisions are made yearly based on efficient use of staffing, budget, when buildings are not being utilized by school/community, and contractor availability. Several of the projects included in the proposed plan that were originally scheduled as part of the District’s capital maintenance schedule will be addressed with the renovations and improvements included in the projects at DAHS, DAMS, and YES. Taking HEC and MES offline eliminates the need to address the significant building issues of those facilities. The District’s New Phased Capital Maintenance Plan reflects the remaining projects, such as roofs, exterior lighting upgrades, asphalt maintenance, etc. The remaining capital projects not included in the referendum proposal requires an estimated budget of $9.9 million. The District has created a six-year plan that addresses the remaining items using the annual maintenance budget and maintenance reserves during that time span."
},
{
"question": "Why close Morrisonville Elementary School and Holum Education Center, and what will happen to those buildings?",
"answer": "Although Morrisonville Elementary (MES) and the Holum Education Center (HEC) have served the district well over the years, both buildings present significant issues including ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance, failing infrastructure, systems at or nearing their useful life, and safety violations. As examples, ADA issues at MES include entrances and access between levels of the school that are not compliant, restrooms that are not compliant, and hallways that do not provide adequate clearance for individuals utilizing motorized wheelchairs. Similar ADA compliance issues exist at the HEC including accessibility between the two levels of the building. Both facilities have infrastructure and systems that are very inefficient or consistently failing and in need of repair with parts becoming increasingly more difficult to find. Although some of the issues are “grandfathered”, many of those concerns do not meet today’s safety and security standards. The cost of addressing these significant updates would not be cost effective considering the age of the facilities and the number of students and staff it serves. Both buildings will be put up for sale. The proceeds will be used to offset the costs of the projects."
},
{
"question": "What school will MES students attend?",
"answer": "The proposed plan includes closing of the 100-year-old Morrisonville Elementary School. Relocation of these 62 students has yet to be determined and will require further study of the MES attendance area. Likely students will go to YES and/or EPES."
},
{
"question": "Why are athletic sites included as part of the proposed facility upgrades?",
"answer": "DASD facilities, including athletic fields, are used extensively by the District and community. A recent analysis showed a number of limitations relating to the condition and use of existing facilities, including significant ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance issues."
},
{
"question": "How does the proposed project at the middle school address the mold found at the middle school?",
"answer": "The mold has now been remediated at the middle school. The new project will however assist in refurbishing the spaces that were damaged by the mold and mold removal."
},
{
"question": "Why is there a need for additional support for operational staffing and programming?",
"answer": "A recent Task Force (25 individuals representing staff and community) has identified a deficit in our staffing levels relative to our peers who offer programming that support students and teachers that DASD is currently not able to provide. They identified a tremendous opportunity to improve student achievement by strategically implementing and adding specific staffing to support those potential programs. Currently, our district operates with a per-pupil revenue limit that results in approximately $3 million less of revenue compared to the Dane County average."
},
{
"question": "Operational staffing and programming - what does it mean?",
"answer": "This means strategically hiring staff to either enhance existing programs or develop new programs to improve the level of services provided to students and teachers with the intent of improving student achievement. This could include supports to build teacher capacity or added staffing in areas of specific student need. This also means ensuring DASD salary/benefits remains competitive in an increasingly competitive employment market."
},
{
"question": "What is the District’s current financial status?",
"answer": "DASD has earned a AA+ Standard & Poor’s bond rating for several years. Only 16 districts in Wisconsin have the same or higher credit rating. The rating counsel uses several indicators to assign credit ratings to districts. In order to obtain this rating the district had to demonstrate the following: strong stable economy, increasing enrollments, strong financial operations paired with good financial management practices, moderate market value debt, and high per capita debt ratio. Having a strong rating helps to secure lower interest rates for future bonds (borrowing)."
},
{
"question": "What are “revenue limits” and how does DASD’s revenue limit per member compare with other Dane County schools?",
"answer": "The Wisconsin legislature implemented revenue limits beginning with the 1993-94 school year. A district’s revenue limit is the maximum amount of revenue that may be raised through state general aid and property tax. The difference in DASD’s revenue limit compared to the Dane County average is $887.99. With our 3,636 students, that equates to $3,228,732 less revenue annually than half of our Dane County peers."
},
{
"question": "What are “mill rates” and what is the history of mill rates in Dane County and for DASD?",
"answer": "Mill rate is the amount of tax payable per dollar of the equalized value of a property. It represents the amount per $1,000 of the equalized value of property, which is used to calculate the amount of property tax. In 2018-19, DASD has one of the lowest mill rates in Dane County. Historically, DASD has been average to below average compared to their Dane County peers. Please note that the chart below is for 2017-18."
},
{
"question": "What assumptions were made when estimating the tax impact?",
"answer": "Similar to the 2015 Referendum, the District’s financing plan calls for 20-year borrowings phased in over a 3-year period with planning interest rates of 4.50%-5.00% for a total repayment period of 22 years. As of February 15, 2019, Wisconsin School District borrowing interest rates were approximately 1.00% lower than the conservative planning estimates used to calculate the mill rate impacts. If interest rates remain low after the referendum, the district would be able to significantly reduce the interest cost related to the borrowing and could reduce the estimated tax impact. Each 0.50% reduction would reduce the interest cost by over $7.5 million. Additional scenarios are provided below to help demonstrate how growth based on DASD historical trends can reduce the tax impact. Estimated mill rate impacts are based on the 2018 Equalized Valuation (TID-OUT) of $2,636,300,548 with conservative annual growth of 3.00% for two years, 2% for two years, and 1.00% thereafter. DASD property value growth for the last three years were: 2016-17 10.15%, 2017-18 8.15% and 2018-19 9.36%. Additional scenarios that demonstrate how growth based on DASD historical trends can reduce the tax impact."
},
{
"question": "How will the operating referendum be used to reduce the building project costs?",
"answer": "If the proposed operating referendum passes WITH the capital referendum, the district could use the first two years of the building operating dollars (a total of $3 million) towards reducing the level of borrowing needed. This is estimated to reduce the tax rate impact by $0.09/$1,000."
},
{
"question": "Does the district anticipate any current bonds being paid off in the near future?",
"answer": "The district does have two bonds that will be paid off in the next few years. In April of 2020 the last of the refinanced bonds from pre-2014 will be paid off. In April of 2021 one of three bonds of the 2015 referendum will also be paid off. These amounts were factored into the estimated bond payments for the proposed 2019 referendum bonds."
},
{
"question": "Why is it needed?",
"answer": "Although the term is used to describe a number of things, a fund balance is the difference between assets and liabilities. When assets are greater than liabilities, the balance is positive. A fund balance can include both cash and non-cash items. For example, the school board might commit $200,000 of cash reserves to repair a school roof. The amount is still included in a district’s balance, but it cannot be used for other purposes. The fund balance is a snapshot in time and is usually measured at the close of the fiscal year. Similar to your checking account, balances fluctuate from month to month."
},
{
"question": "Why is a fund balance needed?",
"answer": "Just as an individual or family should maintain a savings account for unforeseen expenses or emergencies, school districts should also have funds in reserve to pay for emergency repairs or unexpected changes in revenues. Fund balance can also be used to offset year-to-year variations in local or state cash flow, such as a delay in payments from the state. Each year, the school district faces this as it starts the school year. The fiscal year begins on July 1st; payroll expenses for the new year begin, initial supply orders arrive, and there are many “back to school expenses.” However, aid payments from the State do not begin until September. So, school districts across Wisconsin either borrow money or utilize the cash portion of the fund balance. In addition, fund balances enable districts to generate investment income rather than pay interest expense. Fund balance is also recommended to guard against an economic downturn. It is also advised that a fund balance is necessary to meet emergency situations, which could include: uninsured loss, major repairs to heating systems, and replacement of damaged educational equipment prior to scheduled change. The percent of fund balance to expenditures is also considered when the district is being reviewed for a credit rating."
},
{
"question": "What is meant by a “financial disadvantage\" relative to Dane County peers”?",
"answer": "In the simplest form, a school district budget can be broken down to a revenue limit per pupil amount. Currently, our district operates with a revenue limit per-pupil amount that is $888 (per pupil) less than the Dane County average. This results in a financial disadvantage of over $3.2 million of operating revenue annually compared to the Dane County average."
},
{
"question": "How can I learn more about the referendum?",
"answer": "Each session begins with a presentation, followed by an opportunity to ask questions of staff. State law requires school districts to separate capital referendums and operational referendums into two distinct questions. In our case, it seems confusing because they can be viewed as interconnected with the construction of new space and the cost to operate them. It would not serve the district’s needs to have only one of the questions be approved. Residents should either vote “yes” for both or “no” for both. A split vote is effectively a “no” vote for both and would have a similar result for the district."
},
{
"question": "How does open enrollment affect the district?",
"answer": "Each year, the district makes choices about which grade levels to offer open enrollment. As an example, if a grade level is exceptionally large, we may not offer any open enrollment seats at that grade level. Because of this, open enrollment can be adapted to meet our needs. Over the past few years, open enrollment is about a “break even.” This means that just as many students leave our district as come in to our district. The last two years DASD has only accepted open enrollment students into 4K and at the high school."
},
{
"question": "Will boundary changes be needed again?",
"answer": "The Morrisonville boundary will need to be reviewed to identify the best school assignment for those families if a referendum is approved. Elementary boundaries could be reviewed and revised in the future as an interim solution to alleviate enrollment pressure before building another elementary school."
},
{
"question": "How are contractors selected for the projects?",
"answer": "The district did a RFP (Request for Proposals) and interview process in selecting our Construction Management (CM) firm for the facility study, to support the CAC planning, and to oversee the delivery of an approved capital referendum. It is in our agreement that the CM will competitively bid out the components of the project."
},
{
"question": "How much vacant land does the District own and where is it located?",
"answer": "The district currently owns approximately 65 acres on the property that Windsor Elementary School currently sits on. The land is currently being farmed as part of the school district’s student land lab that is managed by FFA students with teacher supervision. The district also owns 11.3 acres of property that wraps around the west end of Big Hill (see property map here). The Big Hill Environmental Center is an area rich in diverse plant and animal communities and habitat: wetland, prairie, oak savanna, and woodland. The remaining areas of what is known as the Big Hill are owned by the Town of Windsor. Since 2004 it has been a Wisconsin School Forest. The district also leases 14 acres from St Olaf's Church in addition to the the 53 acres the high school sits on. The St Olaf's property begins at the south end of the tennis court fencing extended to the end of the field. It is primarily used for our high school athletic programming."
},
{
"question": "What is the status of the land that was available in Conservancy Place?",
"answer": "The school district does not own land in Conservancy Place but did have an option to purchase the property. In 2014, it was determined that this piece of land was not adequate for a public school based on the number of acres required for an elementary school building and associated outdoor space and parking."
},
{
"question": "Regarding 4K… Does DASD prefer to deliver it via daycare/preschools or house it in its own buildings with its own staff?",
"answer": "The district is committed to our community partnerships for the 4K program and intends to continue with community-based partners for programming."
},
{
"question": "What if the referendum doesn’t pass?",
"answer": "The administration would request the School Board reconvene the CAC to regroup and review the results of the election and begin planning for a referendum in the Spring of 2020 (per recent State legislation, specific guidelines apply). Unfortunately, that would be the earliest we could engage our community again. The need to address the aging facility conditions and the impending pressure on our facilities caused by our enrollment growth will continue to exist. Additional challenges from a failed referendum will include increasing construction costs naturally caused by annual inflation and a year longer or more that our facilities are pressured by the enrollment growth."
},
{
"question": "Where can I find voter information, including polling places and voter registration requirements?",
"answer": "Here is a list of polling place locations and hours within the DeForest Area School District boundaries. Or, visit myvote.wi.gov to find your polling place or for more information on voter registration and photo identification requirements."
},
{
"question": "Can I vote before April 2?",
"answer": "You may vote early beginning March 11 up until the Friday before the election (March 29) at 5:00 pm. You will need a State of Wisconsin photo ID. You can obtain the ballot at your local municipal office during regular business office hours."

"question": "Can I get married in the churches of the Team Parish of Oldham?",
"answer": "At the moment, English Law says that just about anyone is entitled to be married in a Church of England church wherever you live. But there are very strict rules concerning which church. For a guide to whether you are eligible, click here. If it is not possible for your proposed marriage to take place in one of the churches in our Team, we are happy to discuss other alternatives with you, such as a Service of Prayer and Dedication after a civil ceremony that has taken place in, for example, a local Hotel. As soon as you have decided that you would like to get married in one of our churches, get in touch with us to see if we are the available on your preferred date. Click here for our contact details. Usually, one of our priests will wish to meet with you in person to discuss your plans."
},
{
"question": "Can the church help me with my wedding preparations?",
"answer": "Yes! If you need advice or help, please contact us here. Alternatively, the Church of England hosts a website to help you plan the church wedding of their dreams. The new website contains useful case studies of real weddings, information about the ceremony and marriage, a wedding planner, tips for choosing church music, and a church finder. Please note that banns need to be read in the parish where each of you lives as well as at the church in which you are to be married if that is another parish. In some cases, there may be an alternative to banns – see the Church of England website or our own summary of the eligibility rules. If you are under the age of eighteen, you will need your parents’ consent to marry. There are special guidelines on church marriage if you have been divorced, as below. The fees for a marriage cover the publication of the banns, certificate of banns (if necessary), the marriage service itself (including heating and lighting, the priest and verger’s time), and the certificate of marriage. These fees are fixed centrally by the Church of England. Please click here for cost details. You can choose to have a modern-language service or one expressed in more traditional language. Talk over the options with us. There are usually one or more readings from the Bible included in the service – we can help you select the one that suits you best. There will also be some prayers, which you may help choose, or you may write some of your own. You may also decide to have someone other than the minister reading the prayers. It’s your choice. Click here for a selection of appropriate Bible passages. The minister will probably give a brief talk or sermon during the service. If you have friends or family members you would like to involve in the service, for example by reading or playing a musical instrument, please discuss this with us at an early stage of your planning. We can advise on suitable hymns and songs, as well as music for coming in, going out and during the signing of the register. If you want to set out the words and/or music on a printed service sheet, you will need to comply with the copyright laws – consult us about this. Click here for a selection of popular hymns for a church wedding. Do not worry if the list does not include your personal favourites: it is merely intended to illustrate the breadth of choice available. A wedding ring is a symbol of unending love and faithfulness, and of the commitment you are making to each other. It is entirely your choice whether you have one ring or two."
},
{
"question": "Can we video the service?",
"answer": "The churches in the Parish of Oldham do permit marriage services to be recorded on video. We usually charge a small fee to cover copyright issues. Please discuss your requirements with us. The Church of England teaches that marriage is for life. It also recognises that, sadly, some marriages do fail and, if this should happen, it seeks to be available lf or all involved. The Church accepts that, in exceptional circumstances, a divorced person may marry again in a church during the lifetime of a former spouse. If for any reason it is not possible for your proposed marriage to take place in the Team Parish of Oldham, we are happy to discuss other alternatives with you, such as a Service of Prayer and Dedication after a civil ceremony that has taken place in, for example, a local Hotel."

https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/banking/faq-rewards-checking-account/?utm_campaign=ct_prod&utm_source=usatoday&utm_medium=mpsyn | [
{
"question": "What Is a Rewards Checking Account?",
"answer": "Rewards checking accounts might earn interest or provide a generous sign-up bonus, but some carry high monthly fees — think $20 or more — unless customers keep their accounts padded with an almost comically high balance or meet some other requirement. Still, finding a rewards checking account that doesn’t have steep fees and requirements is possible. Here’s a look at how to qualify for one of these accounts — and whether you should even want to. Sometimes, the highest APYs are tied to balances. For example, you may earn a high rate only if you keep your balance under $10,000. Know the requirements involved, including what it takes to waive the monthly fee, in order to get the best deal. You may be asked to fulfill all of these requirements, some combination of the three or different ones altogether; keeping a minimum balance is another popular one. It depends on the account. Check to see what those requirements are, and ask yourself whether you could meet them on a regular basis."
},
{
"question": "Is a rewards checking account worth it?",
"answer": "If an account truly is free, there isn’t much downside to choosing one that offers rewards as well. Even if you don’t qualify for any of the add-ons, you’ll still have a free account. That’s a win in and of itself. Problems arise, though, if you find yourself straining to meet the monthly requirements to have fees waived. For example, by forcing more debit card transactions than usual, you may end up overstepping your budget and triggering an overdraft. In that case, the interest you’ve earned won’t make up for excessive spending and fees. There’s nothing wrong with having rewards sway your decision if you’ve narrowed down your search to two accounts that suit your needs. If that’s the case, then by all means go for the one that does more than just store your money. But don’t let flashy rewards lure you into signing up for an account that could do more harm than good."

"question": "What style of worship will I experience at Cornerstone?",
"answer": "You will experience a worshipful blend of songs that make Jesus the focus of our adoration. Our service is not the traditional liturgical type where people stand and sit, reciting from texts and responding on cue according to the liturgy planned by the denomination. Nor is it a spectator type of service where all the music is performed by a worship team and worshipers simply listen. Worshipers are encouraged to participate in singing easy-to-sing songs once they catch the melody. The sermon is usually 30 minutes long and the service will last about 75 minutes."

You do not have to be a member of Cornerstone to take communion when it is served once a month on the first Sunday, and in our Cornerstone Family Life hour on the second and fourth Sundays at 11:15 am. If you come in the west doors (off Hawthorne Ave.) the Worship Center is directly ahead and to your right. If you come in the south doors, off the parking lot, the Worship Center will be upstairs and to your right. Off-street parking is available in our south parking lot. The entrance is off of Hawthorne Ave. or through the alleyway between Hawthorne and Irving."

{
"question": "Do you mean can you sample us first before you decide to plunge in and make yourself known to the Cornerstone worshipers?",
"answer": "It’s best to sample us through our audio sermons in this web site first, because when you come, you will find a naturally friendly group of people who desire to make newcomers not feel like strangers but as welcomed guests. We have chosen to err on the side of friendliness rather than on holding back and not offending people’s desire for privacy. Having said that, we promise that no one will be knocking on your door the day after you visit us, or at any time without your invitation. You may receive a letter in the mail thanking you for your attendance, but you will find no pressure from us to get you to return if you did not find what you expected at Cornerstone."

"question": "How can I help get the best possible pictures of my baby?",
"answer": "First, pay attention to when your baby is most active during the day and try to schedule your appointment during that time. Second, pay attention to whether eating and drinking increases your baby's energy levels. This will determine whether you try to eat or not eat right before your ultrasound. Many babies seem to perk up after mommy drinks cold and/or fruity beverages so we recommend being hydrated. Drink water! It is important not to get dehydrated right before your appointment because this may negatively impact your level of amniotic fluid and your pictures. Finally, many times, the best pictures of your baby will be obtained when he or she has turned head downward so if you know that your baby is breech, you may want to postpone your appointment a week or two to increase the chance of your baby turning before your appointment. Yes! In fact, we encourage our clients to invite family and friends to attend the elective 3D/4D ultrasound session. This is a joyous and wonderful experience, one that can be shared with your family and loved ones. We can accommodate up to 5 guests seated and many more standing. Yes, in most cases we can provide an indication of the gender of the baby. We can't however guarantee that the baby will cooperate during your session. Certain factors such as body tissue content, developmental stage and fetal position all affect the ability to determine gender. If we are unable to determine this, we will bring you back at no charge to try again. We do not accept insurance. Since this is an elective procedure and is not intended to be a replacement for your doctor ordered ultrasound, you will need to pay the cost of this ultrasound as an out of pocket expense. We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover cards. We use the state of the art GE Voluson S6 Expert to complete all ultrasound examinations. The GE Voluson S6 Expert has been seen in GE television commercials and many printed articles from around the world. Please note, many organizations claim to use \"state-of-the-art\" equipment, when in fact they use older or inferior technology. We have packages to fit just about anyone's budget.

"question": "What does Transaction Throughput Parameter actually mean?",
"answer": "This is the number of transactions a single engine settles within a twelve month period. This twelve month period is actually calculated as a moving window of time and is accounted for each day. A merchant authorizes fifty transactions in a day. Prior to nightly settlement the merchant voids ten transactions. The merchant settles forty transactions which count towards the annual total. Now if this merchant were to authorize and settle one thousand transactions on Jan 01, and not use the engine again until Jan 02 of the next year, the engines throughput would be starting again at zero.

{
"question": "What is provided in the studio?",
"answer": "Aerial hammocks and yoga mats are provided in the studio. Top: A form-fitting short-sleeved t-shirt is preferred. The small amount of sleeve will act as a a bit of protection in certain moves that creates friction of the hammock against the skin. If that is not available, tank tops will be a suitable substitution. DO NOT wear anything with buttons or zippers, as these can tear the hammock! Bottom: Leggings that go past the knee. Many aerial moves contain a lot of skin-to-hammock friction, so longer length leggings will help in those situations. If you do not have a pair you can wear, shorts are also a suitable substitution. Feet: Barefoot or socks! Please do not wear shoes in the main area of the studio. DO NOT wear any accessories or jewelry such as watches, earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces. These will not only hinder your ability to move in the hammock, but they will also catch and rip holes in them! We have lockers available for your convenience (locks not included).

"question": "What does upper division mean?",
"answer": "The term upper divison refers to the college years beyond the pre-pharmacy course work that must be completed prior to beginning the pharmacy curriculum. Students are not directly enrolled into the Pharm.D. Program as freshmen. Instead, they typically enroll as pre-pharmacy students through the Academic Center for Exploratory Students (ACES) and complete their pre-pharmacy coursework (lower division) through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Academic advisors in ACES are instrumental in helping pre-pharmacy students navigate through the pre-pharmacy requirements. What is a Pharm.D."

{
"question": "To be considered a competitive applicant, what is the suggested minimum for GPA requirement and PCAT score?",
"answer": "Although there is not a set minimum GPA requirement, it is highly recommended that applicants have at least a 3.0 GPA in the math and science prerequisites and have a composite score at the 60th percentile, or higher, on the PCAT in order to be considered competitive. The PCAT is a Pharmacy College Admission Test.

Private courses / test prep guides are available."
},
{
"question": "What are my options if I am not enrolled as a pharmacy student?",
"answer": "Students who do not become enrolled in the Pharm.D. Program might choose to change their major. The prerequisites that they have taken for the School of Pharmacy meet many of the requirements for other programs at the University of Connecticut as well as general education requirements necessary for obtaining a bachelor’s degree. Advisors will work with the student to help facilitate this degree transition. Students might choose to re-apply the following year. If this be the case, it is recommended that the student declare a degree track other than pre-pharmacy and work toward meeting that program’s requirements. Keep in mind that at the end of 4 years, the ultimate goal is to obtain a bachelor’s degree. Other students might choose to transfer out of UConn. For information on other Schools of Pharmacy, please log onto the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy website."
},
{
"question": "Can my previous college work be ignored so that I can start over as a freshman?",

"question": "How do I apply?",
"answer": "You must submit separate applications and apply to BOTH UConn and the School of Pharmacy. and January 6th is the PharmCAS application deadline for the Pharm.D. program and February 1 is the application deadline for UCONN. Students enrolled at colleges other than the University of Connecticut will have their transcripts evaluated by Transfer Admissions after they have been admitted to the university and have confirmed their intention to enroll. If you are enrolled at a Connecticut college or university, you can use the Transfer Equivalencies tool to see how your course will transfer to UConn. Read Transfer Admissions FAQ’s for more information on transfer of courses. The Pharm.D. Professional Program is a 4-year, full-time program. Enrolled students must expect three years of full-time, didactic coursework to be completed on the Storrs Campus of the University of Connecticut. The fourth year consists of 9, one-month rotations.

},
{
"question": "Can I come to UConn to get my Pharm.D.?",
"answer": "No. Unfortunately, the School of Pharmacy at UConn does not offer a program that would be appropriate. You may wish to consider post-baccalaureate pharmacy degree or non-traditional Pharm.D. programs. A list of colleges and schools that offer these types of programs may be found on www.aacp.org."
},
{
"question": "Is there any financial assistance offered to pharmacy students?",
"answer": "Once enrolled, pharmacy students are eligible to apply for scholarships through the school. In 2017-2018, $181,700 was given to pharmacy students (including transfers) through various scholarships that ranged from $500 to $10,000. Outside of these scholarships, traditional financial aid through the University of Connecticut is available in the form of grants and loans. The added expense is in support of the clinical rotation portion of the program (e.g. finances, hospital contracts, preceptor fees, liability insurance, etc.) Instead of having the full added payment in the fourth professional year, it is divided between the last two years to make it more manageable."

Customer is given seven (7) days from the date of the letter to pay the check and returned check fee in full. If check and check fee are not paid, the customer’s service will be disconnected. My bill has gone up."
},
{
"question": "Do I have a leak?",
"answer": "A high water/sewer bill might be an indication of a leak or a misread meter. The first thing to do to test for a leak is make sure that no water is running in your house, then go to your water meter and look at the small triangular device that is on the face of the meter. Watch it for a little while to see if it is turning even slightly. If there is movement at all, water is going through your meter; thus, indicating that there is a leak somewhere on your side of the meter. Sometimes leaking toilets create the problem. To see if your toilet is leaking, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If the toilet is leaking, the food coloring will show in the toilet bowl in about 30 minutes. If you feel that your bill has been misread, compare the current reading on your water bill against the reading that is on your meter. If the reading on the meter is smaller than the reading on your bill, then it has been misread. If this is the case, please call ECWSA at (803) 637-3011 and we will have a Meter Reader verify the reading and your bill will be adjusted to the new reading. Please keep in mind that your water consumption will increase if you are watering your lawn or garden. When water has been shut off at the main, air may be trapped inside the lines. The milky color that you are seeing is probably due to air. You can check by filling a glass with water and letting it sit for a short time. If the water clears up, there is air in the line. To remove air from the line, turn on the cold water taps in your house and let them run for approx. 10 minutes. Should you still have a problem, please call ECWSA at (803) 637-3011."
},
{
"question": "How can I clear it up?",
"answer": "Water that customers usually refer to as “muddy” water, may look like mud but is actually rust or iron oxides. When water stands in public water mains or in a customer’s galvanized service line or internal plumbing, it may naturally dissolve the iron. If your water suddenly becomes rusty, it may be caused by fire hydrant flushing or construction in the area. If at any time the water is deemed unsafe to drink, you will be notified immediately by the Authority with guidance from South Carolina Dept. of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). You will be notified through various forms of the media. Although, discolored water is normally harmless, it may leave stains when washing clothes. If you are experiencing discolored water, you may want to postpone doing laundry for a short time until the water clears. If discolored water is noticed at your tap, turn your cold water on and run it for a few minutes to see if it clears up. If this doesn’t correct the problem within 10 minutes, please call ECWSA at (803) 637-3011. You could have low water pressure due to work being performed on our water system or possibly a leak on your service line. Please contact ECWSA at (803) 637-3011 to determine if there is a problem with the water system. If the Authority is not working on the system, then you should check your service line from the meter to your house for a possible leak. First call the Authority at (803) 637-3011 and we will dispatch someone to check the sewer mains in the street. If there are no problems with the main lines, then the Authority will advise you to call a plumber."
},
{
"question": "What can I do to help prevent sewer stoppages?",
"answer": "Fats, oils, and grease are one of the largest contributors to sewer maintenance problems. Be part of the solution by not dumping used cooking oil or grease down your sink. Also, refrain from flushing paper products that are heavier than toilet tissue (paper towels, napkins, etc.)."
},
{
"question": "Who do I call for emergency service?",
"answer": "During normal business hours Mon. – Fri. 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. please call (803) 637-3011 or (803) 279-1503 and the Authority will dispatch someone for the emergency. After hours, weekends, and holidays, please dial (803) 637-3011 and the “on call” person will be paged and will return your call."

{
"question": "Doesn’t it get hot in there?",
"answer": "In our experience, it’s almost always windy and it tends to get cooler–even colder–during the night. Note that since the lake is about 400 meters above sea level, and since the island’s surrounded by water and forests and there is no “urban heat island” effect, the temperature there is generally naturally lower than in the plains and cities. The house is also well-ventilated, with large open windows. In our two years of visiting and staying at the island–we’ve never really felt the great need for fans/AC. In fact, on some nights, especially during the rainy season and from December to February, it can even be as chilly as Baguio or Sagada: don’t forget to bring jackets! That said, we of course can’t guarantee what the weather and the temperature will be like during your actual stay and we understand that people have different tolerance levels. We don’t recommend the island to those who for whatever reasons may be more sensitive to warm weather, especially as we don’t have air-conditioning."
},
{
"question": "Can we have the generator on before 6pm and/or after midnight?",
"answer": "Yes, but we charge P70 per extra hour beyond the 6 PM to 12 MN period. Note too that, while the generator is not extremely loud and it is located about 20 meters away from the house, it does make some noise, so you might want to think about whether you really want to keep it on all day/night. If you decide to, just let us know in advance as we need to stock up on gasoline."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take?",
"answer": "BY PRIVATE CAR: From Metro Manila, you can reach the island by car through the Antipolo/Manila East Road route or through the Calamba/SLEX route. Both are generally the same distance to the island, give or take a few kilometers. Which one is better for you depends on exactly where in Metro Manila you’ll be coming from (SLEX makes sense for those coming from Manila while Manila East Road makes sense for those coming from Quezon City/Pasig), time of day (we don’t recommend taking Manila East Road at night), and other preferences (in our view the Manila East Road is more scenic). Depending on how long you spend on stop-overs, you should reach the island in about 3-4 hours. BY BUS/JEEP: If you’re commuting from Metro Manila, you can take the bus going to Santa Cruz-Pagsanjan at the HM Transport Bus Terminal on EDSA corner New York Street, Cubao, the Green Star Bus terminal near the southeastern corner of Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue (Buendia) corner Taft Avenue, or the HM Liner Bus Terminal in Manuela Metropolis Alabang (Metropolis Mall). We will send you more detailed directions upon confirmation of reservation. Yes, your pets are more than welcome in our island: they probably love the outdoors too! Just let us know what/who they are. We have two friendly dogs, Panda and Big Boy. They can be hostile when you first arrive, but they eventually become more welcoming once it becomes clear you’re guests. If not we can have them chained while you’re there. * If you have any other questions that are not answered here, just send us an email at sundangisland@gmail.com and we’ll try to get back to you within 24 hours."

"question": "In other words…why not?",
"answer": "The price includes pre-trip communication & guidance, Punta Arenas airport transfer (departure only), a two-day chartered whale and glacier-watching boat excursion (with open bar) to remote Tierra del Fuego, all hotels & refugios, all meals/snacks, entry fees, permits, transportation, drivers, experienced guides & logistics team, guided runs/hikes and a Rogue Expeditions shirt. In short, just about everything is covered from the moment you land until the moment you leave! The price does not include flight, arrival airport transfer (it's very simple and cheap to get to our hotel - we will provide specific instructions), alcohol (other than the boat trip), additional activities (ice trekking and sea kayaking are not included, as they are optional and weather-dependent), transport to/from unscheduled destinations or tips. Participants should arrive in Punta Arenas by evening of the trip start date. You will be responsible for meeting us at our hotel; transport is very simple and cheap, and we will provide specific instructions. Departures should be no earlier than 3:00pm on the final day and we will take you to the airport. Suggestions and guidance will be provided once you are signed up. There is no set requirement, but we recommend that you be comfortable with daily running (or at least hiking) for the best experience. Some runs will take place en route to the next destination, while others will be out and back. Most days offer full flexibility in distance, though one day requires 7 miles. You are more than welcome to hike and will have all day, but you *must* be capable of covering the distance on foot. Also note that visiting the famous “towers” on the final day requires difficult 12 miles roundtrip; it is not required, but everyone is strongly encouraged to prepare for that distance (again, hiking is fine - that's what most people choose to do)! Consider this a trail running trip! There will be some dirt/gravel roads, some smooth single track and some pretty technical mountain trails – you will not see pavement after the first day. Expect your paces to be significantly slower than they would be on the road, and to incorporate some hiking on especially technically and/or steep sections. Trail shoes are highly recommended! The time of day will vary depending on where we are and where we’re headed. We incorporate morning runs as much as possible, though there will be some afternoon start times. Flexibility is key! When we aren’t running, we’ll have plenty to see and do! We’ll enjoy epic scenery from various boats, spectacular wildlife viewing, learn about traditional ranch life at the estancias, and of course we’ll be covering quite a bit of distance by vehicle (with well-timed rest/photo stops). Be ready for a drastically slower pace of life, and the chance to sit back, relax, enjoy long meals, gorgeous views and conversation with new friends. Absolutely, though they must be willing to hike 7 miles on one day as there is no road access to our accommodations. They are welcome to hike or ride along in vehicles the other days, and are still sure to have a great experience, sans running! Two nights will be spent onboard a charter ship with comfortable quadruple bunk cabins. One night (arrival) will be spent at a 3-star Chilean hotel – expect clean, modern double occupancy rooms and private bathrooms with all necessary comforts. Three nights will be spent at refugios near or within the national park, which offer shared bunk rooms. The refugios are clean, modern and provide stunning views of their remote surroundings. The final two nights will be spent in a beautiful 4-star lodge. Everywhere that we stay will be welcoming, warm and memorable! The weather in Patagonia is notoriously unpredictable, and it is quite common to experience all four seasons in one day. There will be periods of beautiful, sunny weather and there will be periods of rain and of ferocious wind – this is simply a fact of life at the bottom of the world! High temps in February are generally anywhere from 50-70F, and lows will generally be in the 40s (this is summertime!). The old adage that there is no bad weather, just bad clothing holds true here! We will provide a very detailed packing list to ensure that participants are as prepared as possible, and you must understand that the itinerary is subject to change due to weather conditions. As always, a flexible attitude is a must! Due`to the variety of accommodation styles and limited supply, single rooms are not available for this trip. We will eat healthy, fresh, traditional Chilean meals throughout the trip, and will travel with our own cook. Breakfasts will include selections of bread, meat, cheese, cereals, yogurt, etc. Lunches will generally be picnic-style – sandwiches, fruit, nuts, etc – and dinners will feature fresh, hearty ingredients. We will also enjoy several traditional Chilean barbeques. Though the Patagonian diet is quite meat-heavy, vegetarians and vegans can easily be accommodated. We will be traveling in a comfortable minibus with individual seats for everyone and a professional, experienced driver. Very. Chile and Patagonia in particular is a tourism hot-spot, and there is little to no concern for safety in the typical sense. However, we will be running and traveling in wild, remote country. Although all runs are guided and we will be looking out for you, you must be prepared to handle yourself on a sometimes-technical trail, carry an appropriate amount of water/snacks and have proper clothing to protect you from the elements. With proper planning, there is little cause for concern – and we are here to help you! Packing light is a must, but there will be key items to bring along. A hydration pack with enough storage space for a rain jacket/change of clothes is required, as is rain gear (jacket & pants). A warm down or fleece coat, gloves, trail running shoes and hat are also required. We will provide a very detailed packing list and guidance once you are signed up for the trip. We will provide country-specific guidance and take a group collection when it comes to the local team (ie drivers, guide, etc) involved with your trip. Tips for Rogue Expeditions guides are always appreciated, and at your discretion. A $600 deposit holds your spot, and balances are due 3 months prior to the trip start date. Spots are first-come, first-serve - click the button below to register!"

"question": "What are the dangers of leaving clubfoot untreated?",
"answer": "Clubfoot is normally very treatable. The earlier you begin treatment, the better, too. Failing to take care of this deformity can have serious consequences for your child and make it difficult, or even impossible, for them to walk normally or wear regular shoes. A clubbed foot does not heal on its own. The foot will remain in the twisted position unless it’s treated. When you child starts to walk, this means his or her foot will be twisted and unable to function properly—and your child won’t be able to walk normally. This could lead to arthritis in his or her joints. The foot and leg muscles won’t be able to develop, either."

{
"question": "How do I set up the Anti-Gravity Lounger?",
"answer": "When you take it out of the box, it’s already in the collapsible/ folded position. First, check to make sure the locking mechanism under the front part of the arm rest is in the “down” position, and if necessary, loosen the tension screw on the inside part of the locking mechanism if they are too tight (see instructions for diagram on how to loosen and tighten the locking mechanism). Next, Hold the back frame and the front of the arm rest, and start pulling them away from each other. Once you start to see the legs open up on the bottom, you should start pushing the arm rests down until the legs are full extended and the lounger is in the upright position. Set up the pillow by following the instructions. You’re now ready to sit in your lounger. The pillow has 2 eyelets at the end of the straps that are attached to each side. You should have also received a short bungee cord that may still be in the box or in the area you opened your lounger for the first time. Thread bungee cord through eyelet of the pillow on one side. Release the head of the bungee cord so the metal ends rest flat against the eyelets of the pillow. Wrap the pillow with the bungee around the sides of the back and thread the bungee through the other side of the pillow like you did the first. Finally, adjust the pillow to a comfortable position and enjoy. 3."
},
{
"question": "How do I recline on the Anti-gravity Recliner?",
"answer": "Once you’re sitting on the lounger, put your feet on the foot rest bar and gently push out with your legs while holding the armrests with your hands and pushing away from you at the same time. The chair should start to recline and you can lock in position at any reclining angle. Underneath both armrests, there are locking mechanisms that allow you to lock yourself into any reclining position. Lift the tabs on both sides to the “Up” position to lock the chair into a reclining position. 5."
},
{
"question": "When I lock the chair into a reclining position, the chair is slipping back to the upright position, how do I prevent that?",
"answer": "Our locking mechanism has our patented “Tension control system” that allows you to tighten the lock so that you can increase or loosen the tension of the lock. In this case, you would need to tighten the inside screw on each side until you feel the tension is right. 6."

"question": "How do I book a personal retreat?",
"answer": "Click here for shuttle and cab information from the San Jose and San Francisco airports. The least expensive way to arrive at the retreat center from a bay area airport is to take the CalTrain to the Mountain View station and then use UBER or LYFT from there to The JRC. The retreat center is about 4 miles from the Mountain View CalTrain station. Our office is open from 9:00 AM – Noon & 1:00 – 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The offices are closed for lunch every weekday from noon until 1:00 PM. The offices are also closed on the weekends, but we will return calls the following work day. As a cost saving measure, our generous volunteers graciously staff the phones and the front desk. If no one is available, please leave a message. We are continuing to seek volunteers for a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly four or eight-hour shift. If you are interested, please email us. We encourage everyone to use our website for registration. If you register online 28 days before the event, we are able to offer a small discount. You may also contact The Jesuit Retreat Center by phone at (650) 917-4000 during regular business hours. Because our phone is now staffed solely by volunteers, you may need to leave a message when no volunteer is available to answer your questions. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer a discount for an early registration taken over the phone. You may also mail us your check for the full amount of the retreat, the name and dates of the retreat you want and we will register you. Unfortunately, no discount is available through postal mail registration. No matter which method of registration you choose, you will receive confirmation of your retreat date and other information via email. The mission of The Jesuit Retreat Center is to offer the Spiritual Exercises to adults of all denominations and walks of life. Casual clothing is appropriate at The Jesuit Retreat Center. Weather is often quite variable, no matter the season. We recommend bringing layers for warm days and cool evenings. If you plan to enjoy our walking trails, a pair of comfortable shoes is a good choice. Although we provide a Bible in each room, you may want to bring your personal Bible. Other suggested items are toiletries (we provide miniature bars of soap only), a water bottle, journal, pen, flashlight, and some kind of alarm. The Village of Los Altos is also a quarter-mile away in case you forget anything important like a hair dryer, shampoo or conditioner. Registration for weekend retreats takes place between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Weekend retreats typically end with lunch on Sunday. The Jesuit Retreat Center – El Retiro San Iñigo offers a quiet and peaceful environment for reflection and prayer. Our grounds include 38 acres of serene woods and tree-lined trails with majestic views of the nearby hills. The Stations of the Cross, Rosary Walk and other shrines provide an opportunity to pray and quietly reflect while enjoying the sounds of nature. For indoor prayer and contemplation, Rossi Chapel, Mary’s Room, and the Montserrat Chapel all afford ideal quiet spaces for spiritual reflection. Browse our photo gallery to get a visual sense of the Jesuit Retreat Center. The bedrooms are simple yet offer all one needs — an attached private bathroom, a writing table and chair, a small closet, and a Bible. If you have special needs or preferences, please let us know when you register and we’ll make every effort to accommodate you. We serve freshly-prepared meals in our hilltop dining room overlooking San Francisco Bay and the Santa Clara Valley. Meals are appropriate to the season and served buffet-style; snacks are also available all day, and include fruit, scones, and cookies, as well as coffee, tea, and ice water. Our menus offer healthful and delicious meat and vegetarian selections each day. While many of our selections are inherently gluten-free, we do not offer a gluten-free menu per se, nor do we offer a vegan menu. Those guests with specific dietary requirements are welcome to bring their own food to The Retreat Center. Retreats include instructional presentations that offer guidance in prayer, designated time for silence and meditation, and an opportunity for an individual conference with one of our Jesuit or lay spiritual directors. We also offer communal prayer activities, from Mass to sacramental Confession or healing services. Non-silent retreats often include interactive presentations and group discussion periods. Smoking is allowed in the covered walk in the central courtyard only; there is a strict no-smoking policy in all building interior spaces. We believe a tranquil atmosphere is important for achieving the purpose of a spiritual retreat. We therefore ask that all guests silence their cell phones during the retreat, and restrict their use to emergencies only, away from other retreatants. Washing machines and laundry soap are available. The McInerny Bookstore at The Jesuit Retreat Center offers one of the most complete selections of books on spirituality, theology, and prayer in Northern California. All selections are self-serve and frequently restocked. The bookstore is named in honor of our long-time retreatant and friend, The Honorable John S. McInerny. Meetings are open only to registered retreatants. We can find ourselves in daily life in the 21st century with too much to do. The beauty of silence is that it attunes us to the sound of God and ourselves, which we so often ignore. Silent time during these retreats begins after dinner on the first evening and continues until lunch on the final day. Non-silent retreats include designated times for silence and solitude. However, these retreats also feature presentations and liturgies, group discussions and free time for talking with other guests. A retreat is a personal experience focusing on a retreatant’s relationship between him/herself and God. A retreat typically affords times of silence for individual prayer and reflection. Many retreats provide written guides and suggestions to help a person meditate and pray. Retreats often afford the retreatant the ability to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and other communal prayer activities. To read more about retreats, click here. A workshop is in a classroom setting with the focus on participants’ learning. Typically there are no designated periods for prayer nor spiritual conferences with the instructors. Think of a seminar in college with reading, reflecting, discussions, and presentations by the instructors rather than an individual approach. What is learned in the workshop can be applied to a person’s life and deepen his or her relationship with God. Mass will be provided each day of the workshop. The Spiritual Exercises offers an ideal opportunity for growth in your personal relationship with God. This experience of deep prayer and daily guidance with a spiritual director touches upon the basic principles of true Christian growth and the spiritual life. The program begins with preparatory instruction on prayer and certain theological themes that are pertinent to the Spiritual Exercises. Experts in their fields teach individual classes. The retreat concludes with time for personal reflection and sharing on your retreat experience. This Spiritual Exercises can be very helpful for someone making a choice, whether it is a vocational choice, a decision within one’s current way of life, or a decision during a transitional period. It is also an excellent experience for anyone in a time of renewal or sabbatical. Each day during the retreat itself, you will meet individually with a spiritual director who will help focus your retreat to gain the most benefit from the Exercises. The Spiritual Exercises are done in silence without distraction from the outside world. More information on this year summer 30-day retreat can be found HERE. The 8-Day Retreat is rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, which have profoundly influenced the lives of countless people since the sixteenth century. There are as many reasons to go on this retreat as there are people who attend it. Some of the reasons others have made this retreat include: wanting to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, desiring to spend quality time in prayer and reflection, wanting to learn more about your self in relationship to God and to others, preparing to make a significant decision, and responding to the movement of the Spirit. The 8-Day Retreat is a silent retreat with a daily individual conference with your spiritual director. More information on our summer silent 8-day retreat program can be found HERE. Personal, private and Individually Directed Retreats (IDR) are not offered during the summer months. It is possible to arrange for an individual, silent retreat directed by one of the members of the Pastoral Staff. It is also possible to come and just retreat by yourself (that is, without spiritual direction) on our 38 tranquil acres. Please click HERE for more information. You will see your retreat director every day for 30-45 minutes. Please fill out this form and email it back to us. Click this link download a Microsoft Word file onto your computer. If you have trouble opening it, kindly contact us at our reservations desk. There are some periods during the year in which we cannot offer private retreats."

Participation in the dramatic presentation of these allegoric legends, through symbols, is much more impactful than the simple transfer through reading. There are no oaths per se in Freemasonry. Freemasons make a pledge to uphold an ethical code of conduct. This pledge is made to their masonic brethren, as well as society in general. Additionally, each member pledges to uphold confidentiality, and fidelity concerning the traditional modes of recognition of their masonic identity. Finally, they pledge to support any Freemason in need, if this need does not conflict with their religious beliefs, the law, their family, or their duties as free citizens."
},
{
"question": "Is it not true that a Freemason is forced to prefer another Freemason as an employee or associate, or generally to propose other Freemasons for promotions over non-masons?",
"answer": "Absolutely not. Such actions constitute a misuse of ones masonic identity, and result to administrational penalties. Upon initiation, every candidate is asked to state that he does not expect any material gain from his masonic identity. Not only is a mason not treated favorably by his peers, but on the contrary, he is to be judged by far more strict standards, than those applied to non-masons, who have not been taught the value of morality. Members are taught that any effort to exploit ones masonic identity in order to obtain material profit, will not be tolerated by the institution of Freemasonry. The book of constitutions that every member needs to abide by, details the precise rules that dictate the misuse of a members identity. These lead to administrative penalties that vary from temporary probation, to a complete expulsion from the fraternity."
},
{
"question": "Is it true that Freemasons only take care of each other?",
"answer": "It is not true. One of the three cardinal values of Freemasonry is Relief, as defined by charity. This charity has always been a distinguishing characteristic of Freemasonry, and its member’s actions, leading to considerable contribution to society. Charitable actions do not necessarily indicate financial aid to those in need; rather they are actions inspired from love to our fellow people."
},
{
"question": "Why do you call God, “The Great Architect of the Universe”?",
"answer": "Freemasonry is open to all those who believe in God. Belief in the Divine is necessary for one to become a Freemason. In its ranks, Freemasonry include Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and people who believe in any religion in general. The term “The Great Architect of the Universe” is used out of respect to God, as believed by every member of the fraternity, without denoting difference in dogma. Imagine what it would be like, if in a multicultural Lodge consisting of Christians, Muslims, and Hindus, God is referred to as Jesus, Allah, or Brahma. In this way, men belonging to different religions, may collectively pledge their belief in God, by referring to Him, as “The Great Architect of the Universe”. The first mention of this term, can be found in Plato’s “Timaios”. Additionally, out of respect to our members’ beliefs, all discussions on religion, are strictly forbidden in Lodge. Absolutely not. Every Freemason, as a free man, is entitled to his own political convictions, and may act politically as they so desire. Freemasonry, as an institution, will never express judgement over political matters, nor will it propose any political positioning or opinion. Political discussions are also forbidden in Lodge, out of respect to all members’ convictions."
},
{
"question": "Why are there no female members?",
"answer": "From time immemorial, Freemasonry has only accepted men as members. The stone masons from whom Freemasonry is derived, were strictly men. When, in the early 18th century Freemasonry was organized in the way we now know it, women had a very different position in society. Out of respect to these traditions, the Grand Lodge of Greece, only accepts men as its members. However, there are also certain irregular masonic bodies who accept women as their members."
},
{
"question": "How many across the Globe?",
"answer": "The Grand Lodge of Greece has approximately 5.000 active, and 3.000 inactive members. Globally, there is a total estimate of 8 million Freemasons."
},
{
"question": "Where and when did Freemasonry originate from?",
"answer": "There is no definitive answer to this question. The earliest recorded masonic initiation, was that of Elias Ashmole, in England, in 1646. Contemporary Freemasonry, as we know it today, started with the establishment of the Grand Lodge of England – the first Grand Lodge in the World, on June 24, 1717. Soon, Ireland and Scotland followed in 1725, and 1736 respectively. The rest of the Grand Lodges throughout the world, followed as offspring of the aforementioned Grand Lodges. According to the first theory, the stone masons building the cathedrals erected during the Middle Ages, named their quarters, which were adjacent to the buildings, “Lodges”. There, they met, and discussed their Art. All members belonging to these masonic guilds, were initiated in a simple ritual, and considering that at the time there was no such thing as membership cards, they subsequently adopted tokens and words to distinguish them as specialized masons, regardless of the location or building they were working on. Around 1600 AD, these Lodges grew in appeal, and attracted non-masons, who were in turn accepted as Speculative or Free Masons. Gradually, these Freemasons came to manage Lodges, transforming them into “Free and Accepted” or “Speculative Lodges”. The second theory, in turn, supports that around the end of the 15th century, and the beginning of the 16th century, a movement promoting religious and political tolerance, at a time of feudal governments, and great repression on religious matters, both of which often led to bloody wars. Through the formation of Freemasonry, men attempted to improve their own characters and human ethics, in order to improve the world as a whole. At the time, allegory and symbols were utilized to teach and educate, so Freemasons took up the idea of the Lodge as the dominating allegory of their system. Another dominant source of allegory was the Bible, the content of which was known even to those who were unable to read or write. The only building detailed in the Bible, is King Solomon’s Temple, the building, completion, and dedication of which to God’s service, has become the main source of masonic legend. The old masonic guilds implemented the administrational structure of the Lodge, and utilized the builder’s tools, as symbols of moral teachings. Freemasonry is comprised of three degrees: Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason. There are also several additional masonic degrees, belonging to independent masonic side-orders, which share no administrational management amongst them. Some of these degrees may sound as if they are higher degrees than the Master Mason degree, however, they belong to different masonic side-orders. A Freemason is free to follow these additional, but not necessarily “higher” degrees. The two prevalent masonic side orders, are the Royal Arch, and the Scottish Rite."

{
"question": "Did you ever know that Facebook has this unique feature of memorializing accounts ?",
"answer": "I frankly, didn’t know about this until I digged into Facebook’s FAQ thanks to Apoorv. Memorializing is a way to mark a dead person’s (deceased) profile as dead. This process sounds very similar to marking a profile as spam, but literally it isn’t like that. Memorializing is more of report-with-proof kind of thing rather than just clicking on a button and reporting an account dead/deceased. And to be fair enough, that’s the way it actually should be in order to prevent misuse of this feature. Such a feature is actually a boon to both the deceased family as well as Facebook’s servers. The deceased’s family would obviously want some privacy and memorializing does exactly that. It set’s the deceased user’s profile as private so as to ensure that only close confirmed friends and family of the user are able to view it and post messages in remembrance of their lost one’s. For Memorializing a deceased user’s profile you just need to fill out this form correctly and submit it. Make sure that you provide some valid documents/images in the Proof of Death field. Don’t submit the form with false information in it as legal action is viable in this case. Facebook also provides an option to remove a deceased user’s profile completely along with all the related content, information, etc. But for that, the immediate family member has to fill another form which expectantly demands more documents (for verification). Proof that you are an immediate family member or legal representative. Remember that both memorializing and removing a user profile will prevent it from appearing in Suggested Users section, Search results and other activity sections of Facebook. I know memorializing was introduced in 2009 itself, but I’m publishing this post now because I wasn’t aware of this feature till now & many are still in the same boat as I’m. Our Facebook page hasn’t been memorialized, so you are free to like it."
},
{
"question": "Don’t you think other Social networks should also adopt this policy of memorializing/removing a deceased user’s profile ?",
"answer": "That is nice that they have the option to do that and hold onto the memories of the page. Thanks for the informative article. I didn’t know anything about this till now and I also didn’t know that Facebook can upload your photo that you post and use it as advertisement also. I highly recommend people that is signing up for Facebook should read the FAQ. Very informative and helpful post. I really don’t know about this before. I will share this post with my friends also. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Thanks for sharing this Facebook Memorialize feature. I actually did not know anything about it until now that I’ve read your post. It sure is quite a load of work to report that someone in your Facebook friends is already dead, but I think it is up to the family of the one who died that should do this action since they have proof of their deceased loved one’s death. I am trying to memorialize my sons FB account. I want to be able to put a picture on his profile as shortly after his passing for some reason the photo disappeared. I would also like to be able to manage his acount and add additional friends and family as he passed away shortly after creating his page. I have been trying to memorialize my dad’s page but have been unsuccessful. I have no idea what a URL is or where to locate it. My dad has been gone for over a year and I think somebody has hacked into his account because we are all of a sudden getting posts from him."

"question": "What happens if ALOHA is not in my School center yet?",
"answer": "We recommend you to speak with the Parents’ Association of your School or with the staff in charge of complementary activities from your Center to raise the possibility of including ALOHA among their educational offering. At any rate, the ALOHA delegation from your area will give you further information. Click here here to obtain the contact details. If you cannot find them here, please contact info@aloha-europe.com. There is no specified time to complete all the ALOHA levels, each child will progress at their own pace depending on their needs. In any case, the expected average duration to finish the programme is 4-5 years, although from the first 6 months the benefits of ALOHA are already noticeable. Tiny Tots 10 levels For children starting the programme aged between 5 and 7 years old. Kids 8 levels For children starting the programme aged 8 years or over. Children will do one itinerary or another depending on their age when starting ALOHA. Either way, the children will have acquired the same knowledge and will boost the same skills. Both itineraries are independent one from another. Once finished the Tiny Tots itinerary, it is not necessary to do Kids later."
},
{
"question": "When a child has finished all the levels, should he attend refreshment lessons?",
"answer": "It is not necessary, on completion of ALOHA the students will have maximized their superpowers for their lifetime."
},
{
"question": "Why from 5 to 13 years old?",
"answer": "The early years matter because, during these first years the brain experiments a greater plasticity as, in this time, all brain connections are formed. The connections that are not used during this vital stage will be subjected to a “synaptic pruning” process ceasing to form part of the children neuronal net. The cognitive work carried out by the student during the ALOHA lessons contributes to stimulate these connections so they can pass the “pruning process”. The more connections remain in the children brain, the more competent their adult brain will be."
},
{
"question": "Does ALOHA improve children’s academic performance?",
"answer": "The first noticeable changes are linked with mathematics and their capacity to keep focused. All this will have a positive impact on their self-esteem and dexterity to face the daily challenges."
},
{
"question": "If a child already obtains good grades, Does he need ALOHA?",
"answer": "Look at it this way, if the parents of Novak Djokovic, the famous tennis’ player, had thought that their son was just good enough playing tennis and they had not encouraged him to train more, today he would probably not be the world champion he is today... It is the same with good grades. Obtaining good marks is always good news but it does not mean children are making the most out of their potential. As children successfully pass through the school grades, the difficulty level is increased, so students need to work harder to obtain the same marks as in previous grades. When children train with ALOHA their memory, their attention and concentration, their logical thinking... they need less study time and effort to keep getting good marks and even improve their school performance."
},
{
"question": "What is the scientific base supporting ALOHA?",
"answer": "Several studies have shown the benefits of learning arithmetic with the abacus in children cognitive skills. For example the study 'The Impact of Abacus Learning of Higher Arithmetic on Cognitive Abilities of children'(2005), carried out using a significant sample of the ALOHA Mental Arithmetic students, proved the programme’s positive impact on children brain functioning and cognitive development. From the variety of abacus existing, ALOHA students use the Japanese abacus, also known as Soroban. This type of abacus consists of an upper bead and four lower beads."
},
{
"question": "Does ALOHA interfere with the mathematics learnt at school?",
"answer": "No. It is as if the father of a child speaks English and the mother French: the child will learn both languages. The same happens with ALOHA. Children are given more resources, with all the benefits that come with them."
},
{
"question": "What kind of return can a Master Franchisee expect?",
"answer": "The economic results depend on each partner’s skills, resources and dedication. Nevertheless, ALOHA’s partners have the support of a leading brand within the educational field with proven worldwide record of success."
},
{
"question": "What is the support offered to master franchisees?",
"answer": "ALOHA’s Master Franchisees run their own business but they are not left on their own. They are given an initial package to shorten the time to market and benefit from the continuous support of ALOHA Europe, whose mission is to assist each partner during the opening process and to help them succeed in the market."

"question": "How Important is blood donation?",
"answer": "Blood donation is vitally important for proper delivery of health care. Blood transfusion is life saving and life enhancing. The clearest indication for the transfusion of red cells is massive acute blood loss following a traffic accident, trauma or severe obstetric haemorrhage. Blood transfusion therapy is very important in cancer care and includes the use of specialised blood components such as platelets to treat low platelet counts following chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment for the cancer. Many blood transfusions are given to cover surgical procedures where there is modest blood loss. This enables for example, surgery for cancer, cardiac bypass surgery for correction of coronary artery disease and vascular surgery for repair of aneurysm. The advent of blood transfusion therapy and the ready availability of banked blood have enabled surgical procedures to be adapted and the range of surgical procedures to be extended. Blood transfusion is vitally important in the care of very premature, severe low birth weight infants and this contributes in no small measure to the improved survival in this patient group."
},
{

Once your personal details have been taken you will be registered on our computer system, PULSE. If you have presented to a donor session a donation may be taken on the 1st visit if you complete the HealthCheck questionnaire and satisfy the relevant donor screening procedure. If you have enrolled on line/via text/by phone, you will be mailed out information regarding details of when and where you can donate. Along with this you will also receive the HealthCheck questionnaire and be asked to complete the relevant sections before coming along to the donation session."
},
{
"question": "Where are donation sessions held?",
"answer": "We hold blood donation sessions throughout Northern Ireland in schools, universities, churches and halls, and in some work-places. Donors can also attend our headquarters on the Belfast City Hospital site."
},
{
"question": "What happens when I arrive at the donation session?",
"answer": "Your details will firstly be taken. You will then be asked to read the Donor Blood Safety information leaflet and complete the donor HealthCheck Questionnaire (if you were invited to donate by mail you should have already completed the 1st 3 sections of the questionnaire). If you are a new donor, or a returning donor (last donated over 2 years ago), you will also have a brief chat with a nurse. Provided the information from the questionnaire is satisfactory, your haemoglobin will then be tested. This is done by taking a small sample of blood from your finger. Your donation will then be taken provided your haemoglobin is at least 125 g/l if you are a woman and at least 135 g/l if you are a man. After donating we will ask you to take a short rest, a drink, and some biscuits."
},
{
"question": "What is involved in the donor HealthCheck questionnaire?",
"answer": "This is a structured questionnaire, which asks important questions about the donor’s general health, medication, lifestyle and travel. These questions are important to ensure that the donation procedure is safe for the donor and that the donation is safe for the recipient of the blood. It also includes a declaration consenting to the donation being tested for certain transfusion transmissible infections. New donors and donors who have not given in the last two years (lapsed donors) must complete a personal interview with our Registered General Nurse at the donation session."
},
{
"question": "What are the most common causes for deferral?",
"answer": "The actual collection of blood will take approximately 10 minutes. Please allow about 45 minutes in total for entire visit. About 470ml, or just under half a litre of blood per donation."
},
{
"question": "Can I go back to work after donating?",
"answer": "There should be no reason why you can’t return to work after donating unless you have a hazardous occupation."
},
{
"question": "What are the complications of blood donation?",
"answer": "BRUISING: Bruises can develop when it has been difficult to obtain a blood donation, or when there has been some leakage of blood from the vein into the arm tissues after giving blood. Most bruises are small and not serious. Rarely, the bruise may be larger and painful. If this occurs, you should contact our Donor Helpline on 08085 534669, or email us. If it is outside our normal working hours and your symptoms are severe, please contact the out of hours GP service for medical advice. FAINTING: A few people can feel faint after giving blood. To try and avoid this, you will be asked to rest after your donation for a short time (a longer time for first time donors) and you will be given something to drink. We also advise donors to take plenty of fluids and to avoid strenuous exercise for the next few hours. You should obviously also avoid taking part in any hazardous hobbies, such as rock climbing, scuba diving etc. or in any activity which could cause a risk to you or others if you were to feel faint or weak. Our staff on session are fully trained in dealing with donors who feel faint and will make sure you do not leave the session until you are feeling well. If however, you faint after you leave the session (called a “delayed faint”), please let us know. UNCOMMON RISKS: Very rarely, insertion of the needle may cause irritation of a nerve close to the vein, or may cause inflammation in the arm. These complications are unusual, but if you do develop symptoms that you are concerned about, please contact our Medical Helpline on FREECALL 08085 534669 for advice."
},
{
"question": "What are donations currently tested for?",
"answer": "All donations are tested for Hepatitis B, C, A and E, HIV, Syphilis and HTLV (Human T-cell Lymphotropic virus). Various testing technologies are used including antibody tests and nucleic acid tests."
},
{
"question": "Will these tests absolutely exclude infection by these viruses in the donor?",
"answer": "The short answer is no. Infection is screened for by antibody tests and as it takes the body some time (days to weeks depending on the infection) to form antibodies, there will be a time period when the donor could have the infection but not yet have formed detectable antibodies. This is known as the “window period”. One way of reducing the window period is to test for direct viral material, called nucleic acid testing. However, in early infection, this test may also be negative. This is why the donor HealthCheck questionnaire includes important questions on lifestyle, as we cannot rely exclusively on laboratory testing for ensuring the safety of blood."
},
{
"question": "What should I do if I develop an infection after I donate?",
"answer": "Contact NIBTS on call staff via Belfast City Hospital Switchboard (028 90329241), who will take your details and relay the message to the on-call medical consultant."

{
"question": "Q1: What are advanced ceramics?",
"answer": ">>> Advanced ceramics - also referred to as engineering, structural or technical ceramics - have been processed to be very pure and, in general, have superior properties to unrefined ceramics. Many are man-made, i.e. they do not occur naturally, e.g. silicon nitride, and their properties can be enhanced to produce very high strength at high temperatures, good corrosion resistance, etc."
},
{
"question": "Q2: What types of ceramic do you supply?",
"answer": ">>> Alumina(Al2O3) in purity from 90% to 99.7%, Aluminium Nitride(AlN), Cordierite, Hot Pressed Boron Nitride(BN), Machinable Glass Ceramic(Macor), Mullite, Silicon Nitride(Si3N4) and Zirconia(ZrO2)."
},
{
"question": "Q3: Can I machine the ceramics myself?",
"answer": ">>> The harder ceramics like alumna and zirconia will require diamond tooling but other materials like Machinable Glass Ceramic and Hot Pressed Boron Nitride can be machined. To get the right result it does take time, experience and semi-specialised tooling but it can be done and many of our customers take advantage of this when they need extremely fast solutions in-house."
},
{
"question": "Q4: Do you ship internationally?",
"answer": ">>> Yes, we can ship to virtually anywhere in the world. Typically we will use international express, like DHL, EMS, Fedex, UPS, TNT... We can also arrange shipments on your own courier account if you prefer to take this route."

You are more than welcome to bring in visuals to enhance your idea."
},
{
"question": "My idea is a work in progress, should I submit?",
"answer": "Think through what kind of project you are submitting. About 200 people show up each month to share ideas and resources with one another. The last few months we have had about 10-20 proposals from the community. If you don’t think you can pull together the idea, be able to implement this with the community, or be able to share (whether it succeeds or not) how the progress of the idea is coming along, than please wait a few months. We don’t like telling some groups yes and then having them drop out at the last minute. It’s a fairness thing. The idea doesn’t need to be super polished ether. The money is enough to see if your idea works. We just want to make sure that you are available to present after submitting."

"question": "[Walk?",
"answer": "Public access to Port Rashid gate?] Nearest metro station is Al Ghubaiba Bus Station and metro station. Long walk though, especially in summer, especially because just exiting Port Rashid gate is a long walk (and not permitted to walk through port area anyway?). Or Al Ras MS on the other side of the creek, an even longer walk, and you have to find the pedestrian tunnel under the creek or catch an abra across. 11 Dec 2014 - Hamdan bin Mohammed Cruise Terminal (Dubai Cruise Terminal 3) officially opened. 29 Jan 2012 - Capacity to eventually be expanded such that the terminal can handle up to 7 cruise ships at one time (press release). 26 Oct 2011 - A second terminal is planned with opening date expected before end of 2012 according to an announcement by DP World. Capacity will increase from two to five cruise liners. 23 Feb 2010 - new cruise terminal officially opened. Mar 2001 - first dedicated Dubai Cruise Terminal launched with a 2,200 sq m facility. Cruise ships had stopped in Dubai prior to that (since 1993?). Oct 1999 - temporary Dubai Cruise Terminal opened and managed by DTCM. Official opening date of the Port Rashid cruise terminal in Dubai was Tuesday 23 February 2010. In September 2009, the DTCM said the new terminal would open in January 2010. The terminal was opened by Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai. As part of the ceremony, the naming of the Costa Deliziosa Italian passenger liner took place, another first for Dubai, and any Arab city. The Port Rashid terminal is operated by the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM). Port capacity is for 4 cruise ships at a time. The new terminal might have been prompted by reports of criticism from Costa Cruises in Europe who started using the Dubai terminal as a base in 2006, but the terminal became a construction site in 2008-2009 resulting in passengers using makeshift facilities in Port Rashid. Dubai Cruise Terminal is the best in the Middle East for 2010, and was the best in the world apparently. DCT received the \"Middle East's Leading Cruise Port award\" for 2010, and the \"World's Leading Cruise Port award\" for 2008 and 2009 from the World Travel Awards (WTA). The WTA are based in London, UK, and the gongs are awarded based on votes from travel and tourist industry personnel such as travel agents, rather than real customers. Information according to a 27 May 2010 press release from DP World which appeared to say that the area of the terminal had shrunk (see facts and figures below).

"question": "Do you develop knowledgebase for products?",
"answer": "Yes, we do. We pick random products and develop their Minimum Viable Knowledgebase, primarily for startups. Most of the startups have their priorities as customer acquisition, user onboarding, funnel, metrics, and strategy. Knowledgebase is on a lower priority and we address it at a higher priority. I see my product listed at In23Hours and I saw its knowledgebase."
},
{
"question": "How I can use it?",
"answer": "Every knowledgebase is available as a public URL and you can just link it to your product. This does not cost you anything. However since it is a minimum viable knowledgebase, it may not be comprehensive though it addresses the basic concerns and questions of its users. To complete this knowledgebase is a paid service. Write to us at contact@in23hours.com. and we shall contact you for more details.

"question": "Why the name as In23Hours?",
"answer": "We develop a product's minimum viable knowledgebase in less than 23 hours. This does not include enterprise products such as LinkedIn, Skype, or Basecamp.
