https://www.frost.co.uk/xcp-faq
[ { "question": "What do the XCP Professional products do?", "answer": "A. XCP ONE is a multi-purpose maintenance spray, designed to loosen, lubricate, displace moisture, clean and protect. XCP GREEN ONE does exactly the same thing, but it is made from bio-based ingredients that are renewable, sustainable and bio-degradable. XCP Rust Blocker is a soft anti-corrosive compound that lays down a soft coating that provides extremely long lasting protection against rust and corrosion. XCP Lubricate & Protect is a long lasting lubricant spray. It is built to withstand pressure, reduce friction and minimise wear. Finally, XCP Chain Lubricant, well…it’s a chain lubricant :-). It’s high performance mind you, as penetrates the links and sprockets to lay down an ultra-thin film which provides long lasting lubrication, and protection against corrosion. Not only that, but it’s not sticky like other chain lubricants out there (that act effectively like a grinding paste) and won’t ‘fling off’ the chain!" }, { "question": "What's the difference between the spray can and the trigger bottle?", "answer": "A. The aerosol can is a pressurised container, meaning that there is force behind the application. The liquid that you end up with is itself is exactly same, whether it comes from the bottle or the can, but they do give a different spray pattern. It depends what you are looking for. In the case of XCP Rust Blocker, the aerosol provides a fine mist. Due to the viscosity of the liquid, the bottle can do the same thing (without the propellant), so we would recommend the bottle for applications where you are going to wipe down, brush or dip the product." }, { "question": "How is XCP different to WD40?", "answer": "A. XCP ONE and GREEN ONE are designed to do exactly the same jobs as products like WD40, only they do them much better! Both ONE and GREEN ONE have been shown to loosen and lubricate around twice as effectively compared to WD40. Where WD40 is made from volatile ingredients and evaporates quite quickly, both XCP ONE and GREEN ONE are non-volatile. They stay around and keep working for much longer!" }, { "question": "How is XCP Rust Blocker different to products like ACF-50?", "answer": "A. XCP Rust Blocker is a soft corrosion protection compound, meaning that it never dries hard. It dries to a soft tack, leaving it flexible and ensuring it doesn’t ‘crack’. It also means it can also be removed if required for temporary protection (using a light solvent like white spirit). It will certainly last longer than ACF-50, as we have demonstrated with the industry standard ‘Salt Fog Testing’ (ASTM B117)." }, { "question": "How long should i leave XCP ONE / XCP GREEN ONE on before i attempt to loosen something?", "answer": "A. It really depends on the application. How stuck is it?! If you don’t get the immediate result you are looking for then we would always recommend repeat application. In extreme cases, it may be required to leave the product soaking for a prolonged period, like overnight." }, { "question": "Will applying XCP ONE / GREEN ONE on consecutive days help to loosen particularly stubborn bolts etc?", "answer": "A. Yes, definitely! Although we would hope to do the job much quicker!" }, { "question": "How often should i spray XCP Lubricant on my chain?", "answer": "A. It depends on how much you are using your chain, whether it’s a on a motorbike, go-kart, pedal bike or any other application. XCP Chain Lubricant is long lasting, but like anything with movement and pressure, reapplication will be required from time to time to ensure smooth and optimal maintenance of the chain. Keep an eye on it. A little goes a long way, but reapply when you see the chain drying out." }, { "question": "Will XCP protect against rust i.e should i spray XCP on equipment in a preventative manner?", "answer": "A. All of the XCP Professional products will provide corrosion / rust protection to various degrees. Starting with XCP ONE and GREEN ONE, these will give light corrosion protection. If it’s longer lasting protection you are after, or you are looking to provide protection in a very corrosive environment, then we would recommend XCP Rust Blocker." }, { "question": "I don't know whether to use the XCP ONE or XCP GREEN ONE, is there any difference in performance?", "answer": "A. Both products are designed to do exactly the same things, that is loosen, lubricate, clean & protect and displace moisture. The only difference is that XCP GREEN ONE is made from renewable, sustainable and bio-degradable ingredients, making it the environmentally friendly option!" } ]

[ { "question": "What Footwear do I wear?", "answer": "We suggest wear cross training or aerobic style shoes. They provide the cushion and medial lateral support needed for side-to-side movements. They also have low traction rubber for easy sliding and turning. Please be careful with running shoes since they use a heavy tread on the bottom and are designed for forward movement.

The instructor will break down every single move for you and ensure that you get the moves right. There will always be a class at your level so there is no need to feel rushed." }, { "question": "Is learning to dance difficult?", "answer": "Dancing can be quite easy to learn. Like most new things, it will take time, but our instructors make learning as easy as possible and fun. A steady approach with regular practice will produce results in a short period. Students have told us that besides learning to dance, they gain self-confidence, higher self-esteem, improved posture and gain new friends, as well as a multitude of health benefits. Each person finds that dancing has helped them in different ways." }, { "question": "What is \"refer a friend\"?", "answer": "If you refer 1 friend you get 300 off and if you refer 2 or more you can avail flat 500 off for 1 month.

http://www.cvecinc.org/wordpress/resources-media/wind-project-updates/wind-faqs/
[ { "question": "What is Shadow/Flicker from a wind turbine?", "answer": "“Shadow flicker” occurs when the blades of a large wind turbine pass between the sun and the observer, causing an on-again, off-again shadow to be cast by the blades. The flicker can be annoying when trying to read or watch television. If any effect is experienced, it is generally short-lived due to the moving path of the sun, incidence of cloud cover, and wind-driven angling of the turbine sideways to the sun. For the CVEC projects, the shadow will be precisely calculated to determine whether a flickering will fall on a given location near the wind turbines, and for how many hours in a year it will do so (for example, 15 minutes a day for 20 days out of the year). Potential problems can be easily identified using these methods." }, { "question": "What are concerns about sound from a turbine?", "answer": "There are two potential sources of sound: the turbine blades passing through the air as the hub rotates, and the gearbox and generator in the nacelle. Sound from the blades is minimized by careful attention to the design and manufacture of the blades, and control over the harmonics generated in the tower. Noise from the gearbox or generator is rarer in modern turbines, as the gearbox is contained within the nacelle and sound is controlled by insulation and isolation materials. The predominant sound turbines produce is similar to a whooshing or swishing sound. The sound of the blowing wind is often louder. The best test is always to experience the sound from a turbine for yourself. You will find that it is perfectly possible to stand underneath a turbine and have a normal conversation, without raising your voice. Distance from the wind turbine, height of the wind turbine relative to the surrounding topography, the quality of the sound (repetitive low frequency sound), wind conditions, and wind direction all affect how the wind turbine sound affects people. “Wind Turbine Acoustic Noise”, A White Paper by Dr. Anthony Rodgers at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst." }, { "question": "What happens to the real estate value of homes located near wind turbines?", "answer": "WIND FARM PROXIMITY AND PROPERTY VALUES: A POOLED HEDONIC REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF PROPERTY VALUES IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS." }, { "question": "What about Birds & Bats?", "answer": "Bird and bat populations in proximity to the turbine and any potential ramifications to them will be thoroughly investigated by CVEC engineers. Pointing to the link between global warming and the threat to birds and other wildlife, the Massachusetts Audubon Society and the National Audubon Society endorse wind energy development. It was also noted by the Audubon Societies that birds are over 10,000 times more likely to be killed by other human-related causes (e.g., by buildings, vehicles, pet cats, pesticides, etc.) than by a wind turbine.

http://www.gutspace.com/can-probiotics-cause-diarrhea/
[ { "question": "Home » FAQs » Can Probiotics Cause Diarrhea?", "answer": "Probiotics do not cause diarrhea. On the contrary, one of the most supported advantages of taking probiotics is the prevention of diarrhea. From antibiotic-related diarrhea to traveler’s diarrhea, probiotics have proven to be helpful, not detrimental. Let’s look at each of these individually and see how they can be prevented. Every person’s digestive system responds to the introduction of probiotics according to the state of their unique microbiome and the health of their digestive system. People with poor digestive health are more likely to experience an unpleasant transition phase because the bacteria currently living in their gut are going to protest the invasion. Likewise, the entire gut environment is going to change, causing temporary side-effects that may indeed include diarrhea. During the transition stage, it is also common to experience bloating, abdominal discomfort, flatulence, fatigue, and other bowel symptoms. While these side effects can be unpleasant, they are also a sign that the source of probiotic you are taking is of high quality. Just as discomfort means a probiotic is working, symptoms resulting from lactose intolerance mean a probiotic is not working. This is because probiotics are a common treatment for lactose intolerance; the bacteria actually help digest lactose in foods, relieving many of the symptoms caused by the inability to break down milk sugar. The issue, however, concerns the manufacturing of probiotic products. Since they are not strictly regulated, manufacturers are not required to state the exact dosage or strain of bacteria used in the product; they are also not required to state their condition. This basically means that some products labeled as “probiotic” can contain ineffective strains- which leaves those with lactose intolerance to battle the dairy singlehandedly. Lactose intolerance becomes a concern only when the probiotics are paired with dairy, which unfortunately for the affected, happens quite often. Dairy simply happens to be an excellent carrier of probiotics and it’s also cheaper to produce. In theory, that yogurt you picked up is supposed to aid with your digestive issues, including lactose intolerance. But without strict regulation practices and the sheer variety of products, dairy-based probiotics are basically symptomatic landmines whereby you simply must tread lightly and do some brand-based research. While probiotics have proven effective in treating lactose intolerance over the long run, it goes without saying that there must be probiotics in the product for change to occur. Therefore, someone with lactose intolerance should start out with a non-dairy based probiotic supplement. This will prevent symptoms caused by the by-product as most supplement forms of probiotics are paired only paired with prebiotics (fibers that provide nutrition for probiotic bacteria). This is how a milk allergy is different than lactose intolerance: The former is caused by a food allergy and the latter is caused by a digestive issue. An allergy to milk means that the individual has an allergic reaction to the protein found in milk while lactose intolerance means that the individual does not produce enough of the enzyme lactase, which aids in the digestion of the sugar, lactose. Someone with a milk allergy is going to have a reaction to anything containing milk, so all dairy-based probiotics will cause a negative reaction. The interesting thing about a milk allergy is precisely its distinction from lactose intolerance. So say that someone takes a dairy-based probiotic and has a reaction. If the probiotics are of high quality, the individual should be unaffected because the bacteria will help break down lactose. However, if the person has an undiagnosed milk allergy, a reaction can occur simply because dairy is present in the product. Of course we don’t recommend you put your gut on the line for an interesting trial-and-error game. If you’ve had any reaction to dairy products before and want to try a probiotic treatment, the safest bet is to start with a supplement form. Technically, taking probiotics can cause diarrhea, but only by relation- that is, a person’s specific relation to dairy. Probiotics in themselves should improve (and research shows that they do) diarrhea. Dairy-based probiotics are the most accessible, but for those with lactose intolerance or milk allergy, the consequences outweigh the benefits.

[ { "question": "Can I connect them to it?", "answer": "When you purchase a JBC RMSE rework station you will not get them though. You will have to purchase them separately and don’t forget the stand for them!" }, { "question": "Which is the best system to clean the tips?", "answer": "It depends on maintenance issues and on the technology of the soldering system. A wet sponge is an efficient system if it is kept clean and damp (not swamped), it is changed periodically and deionised water is used. The tip’s temperature partially decreases during the contact with the wet sponge, but this could be a disadvantage only with older generations of soldering systems, where the iron does not have a very fast thermal response and it takes several seconds to recover the working temperature. The cleaning wire (brass) is an alternative to the sponge. It needs less maintenance and does not decrease the temperature of the tip, that’s why some handsoldering producers with low thermal response prefer it. On the other hand, it releases some material residues which may fall on the PCBs if the holder is not protected. The stand of the brass should be heavy in order not to move during its use, otherwise the operator will need also the other hand to hold it. The metal brush is a more aggressive way to clean the tip, but if used gently cleans well the tip with minimal damage. The tip tinner / cleaner is a chemical method to clean and retin the tip at the same time. It should be used when above methods fail and a very active cleaning method is needed. There is also a new sand cleaning method from JBC: the tip must be entered inside a protected sand deposit and turned it around. This method is advisable when all else fails." }, { "question": "What’s the most recommended type of wool?", "answer": "Brass wool: Although less aggressive than the Inox Wool, it is easily subject to breaking down. This can cause metal particles and fibers to contaminate the enviroment of the working area. We have a very large and experienced customer that refuse the use of Brass Wool technique for this reason. Brass wool was first used in the industry many years ago and, as sometimes happens, it became an industry standard and adopted by many vendors. Inox Wool: It is more agressive than the Brass wool and may require more restraint from the operator when using. This method proves to be the most effective when the user applies less aggressiveness and minimizes the abrasions – Less Is Better. Apart from being more effective with controlled use, Inox is much more durable than Brass. It is more flexible, less fragile, and as a result, reduces broken particles and contamination. In our testing we found it very resistant to breakage and less than 10X broken particles were found than with Brass wool. You can change this password for another one. If you enter 3 times an incorrect code, the station will give you an 8 digits number. Please contact us with that number and we will help you out. Our equipment is being used by government contractors, high reliability OEM’s and CM’s and many other manufacturers who take the time to evaluate everything about their soldering process, from the cost of ownership to safety,to ergonomics to the thermal performance on every joint. JBC Tools use one wire buried deep in the tip of the copper to “read and feed.” Their thermocouple and heating element wire are one in the same and are microprocessor driven over a sensor at 60 hertz utilizing up to 140 watts on demand in a very low mass cartridge. This is why their thermal performance cannot be matched. It is technolgy compatible with todays needs, as well as tomorrows. Our competitors are using technolgy invented 20+ years ago with little advancement." }, { "question": "How long is the warranty on the JBC Soldering Equipment?", "answer": "Our JBC Equipment has a 2 years warranty which guarantees the equipment against all manufacturing defects, covering the replacement of defective parts and all necessary labour.

Port 21 is the control channel in which requests such as PUT, GET, and PWD are sent to the server. Port 20 is the data channel in which actual files, folders and directory listings are sent. Normally, when you connect to an FTP site, the site establishes the data connection to your PC (the client) on Port 20. However, if the site allows passive transfers, you can have your PC establish the data connection. This command requests the server to \"listen\" on a data port (which is not its default data port) and to wait for a connection rather than initiate one upon receipt of a transfer command. The response to this command includes the host and port address this server is listening on. Certain ftp servers support both active and passive transfers while other ftp servers only allow active transfers.

Moonlight will also diminish the amount of glow one can see, so it is equally important to have it situated in an area that is completely dark in the evening. Third, because the period from dusk to 'dark' varies throughout the year (longer in the summer and shorter in the winter, depending on latitude), the longer that period lasts the shorter the duration and intensity your Illuminaries product will glow due to the fact that the luminescent crystals will have given off much of their stored energy. Lastly, the closer you are to the item the better your chances of seeing the charged crystals glow. I purchased/received a solar figurine/accent light from Echo Valley, but the light isn't coming on at night." }, { "question": "What should I do?", "answer": "Let the unit charge in full sunlight for 8 - 10 hours prior to testing. Make sure that the solar panel faces the direction of the sun during this period. Once the batteries on the unit are charged bring the product in a pitch-black area (a windowless room preferably) making sure the manual on/off switch or button is in the \"on\" position. If the product lights up it is working properly. If the light does not come on re-check the on/off switch to confirm it is in the \"on\" position. Note: Please reference the user instruction sheet that came with your product, as the on-off switch varies depending on the item. If the particular model has been in use for a while the solar rechargeable battery or batteries may need replacing. Please refer to the user instruction sheet that came with the product for directions on how to do this. If you are still experiencing problems and the unit is under warranty please return it to the place of purchase for an exchange, replacement or refund." }, { "question": "I lost the user instruction/assembly sheet that came with my product, do you have something you can send me?", "answer": "We have all of our user instruction/product assembly sheets available upon request. Please contact [email protected] for more information." }, { "question": "Should I shut off my solar product each morning after using it the previous night so that the batteries will recharge?", "answer": "You may leave the manual on/off switch in the \"on\" position continuously, as the batteries should recharge each day provided the batteries are still capable of holding a charge. There is a sensor on the solar panel that will activate the light in the evening once a certain level of darkness is achieved. When the batteries exhaust themselves or the sun begins to rise the following morning, this sensor acts as an internal on/off switch and will shut the light off automatically.You should only need to turn the unit off when it will not be in use for an extended period of time, such as storing it for the winter." }, { "question": "What is the life expectancy of the rechargeable battery or batteries that came with my solar figurine or accent light?", "answer": "The life expectancy of the battery or batteries that came with your solar rechargeable product typically last between 400 to 500 on-off cycles. If you are using the product every day that is over a year's worth of use." }, { "question": "Where can I find a replacement battery or batteries for my solar accent light or figurine?", "answer": "Any general merchandise, convenience, food and drug, grocery, hardware store or specialty online retailer will likely have the rechargeable battery or batteries needed to keep your solar rechargeable product in working condition. Two styles of harder to find button cell batteries are available on Echo Valley.com." }, { "question": "Is it safe to leave products out all year long?", "answer": "To prolong the life, usefulness and enjoyment of our products we strongly recommend that you do not expose them to extreme weather conditions, i.e. excessive heat, wintry conditions (thawing and freezing), high wind, torrential rain, etc." }, { "question": "What do you recommend doing to prevent metal parts/components from rusting or corroding?", "answer": "Outside of stainless steel, if a product is produced from carbon steel or an iron alloy it will eventually show signs of rust. To diminish or slow this process from occurring apply a clear-coat enamel (available at most general merchandise, DIY, hardware and automotive parts stores) to all exposed metal parts prior to placing the product outside and repeat it each season. If you live near salt water this should be done two to three times a year." }, { "question": "Do you have a printed catalog available that you can send to me by mail?", "answer": "Because of the high cost of printing and postage, catalogs are strictly reserved for Echo Valley retailers only." } ]

[ { "question": "Q: What is involved in Art Conservation?", "answer": "A: Art Conservation refers to a collection of methods and best practices that protect and preserve your artwork from damage. Museum-quality conservation materials are used to prevent fading of the inks and acid-damage to the paper." }, { "question": "Q: What is meant by Conservation Materials?", "answer": "A: This refers to a class of materials designed to preserve your artwork and prevent irreversible structural damage. Ultraviolet light protection is imperative for preventing fading of the inks, and matting, backing boards and mounting tapes must be free of wood-pulp which contains acids that will yellow and 'burn' the paper." }, { "question": "What is the difference between UV Glass and Regular Glass?", "answer": "A: UV glass is a special type of conservation glazing for art framing that is designed with a special coating that blocks 99% of harmful ultraviolet light. UV damage is what causes the inks used in print, photographs, lithographs and serigraphs to fade over time. The more UV light the art is exposed to the faster it fades, losing its true colours and vibrancy. Since UV damage can happen very quickly and is irreversible once done, it is very important to protect any custom art with the highest UV protection possible from day one." }, { "question": "Q: Why Do I need Acid-Free Materials?", "answer": "A: Papers used in printing and art can be made from many types of materials. The most common type is wood-pulp paper. Unfortunately in order to help break down the hard fibrous nature of cellulose in wood, acids are used in the process of making these wood-based papers. Over time these acids will yellow and 'burn' the paper (and any other paper it touches) and begin to break down the very structure of the paper itself. Old, yellowed and crumbling photos and newspapers are suffering from severe acid damage. To combat this irreversible structural damage to your artwork, cotton-based 'rag' mats and backing boards that are acid-free must be used in the framing of fine art. Cotton rag mats are free of the acids used in wood-pulp papers and will not harm your photos, prints, and original art the way non-archival materials will. Any art that you wish to last must always be framed with acid-free materials." }, { "question": "Q: How does framing custom art work?", "answer": "A: The process of framing your fine art begins with an appointment with a design consultant at one of our 9 locations. All of our designers are artists with years of hands on art and design experience and are experts in helping you craft just the right look to enhance and show off your artwork while preserving it correctly with only the best museum quality materials.

But don't worry; our experts effortlessly take you through each step of the design to help craft your unique custom-framing look. The key word to remember in custom-framing is 'custom'. Each and every piece that FrameStore does is designed uniquely for you and your artwork and expertly hand built by our Master Framer. With over 35 years of experience, we don't reach for the standards of design, we set the standards of design." }, { "question": "How is it used in my fine art frame design?", "answer": "A: All artist draws on certain elements, consciously or unconsciously to create their works. Colour theory, perspective, line, shape, and texture all are used in some form or other as tools by the artist. It is important that in framing the artwork you continue what the artist started by using those same elements of art, or art theory, in the design of your custom-framing. This allows the framing to extend and continue the look, and feel that the artist wanted to present without detracting from it. The design experts at FrameStore help you to understand these elements and show you how to use them to create a custom design for your fine art framing that truly shows your artwork at its best." }, { "question": "Q: What is Museum Quality Design?", "answer": "A: As with all products and services in all areas, there are varied levels of quality and craftsmanship offered on the market today. FrameStore is committed to giving only the highest level of service, using only the finest museum-quality materials available anywhere and creating only the most amazing fine art frames available.

http://www.heart2shine.com/flower-essence-faqs/?setCurrencyId=4
[ { "question": "I’ve never heard of flower essences - when were they first made?", "answer": "Essences were first made from flowers in the 1930s by British physician Edward Bach (1886-1936). He discovered that flowers of certain plants could help balance the emotions and minds of individuals, bringing them back to alignment and promoting better health. Plants have been our primary larder and pharmacy since time began. This was the first time, as far as we’re aware, that their vibration was deliberately captured to help people heal mentally and emotionally. Dr Bach created the first 38 Bach Flower Remedies, including “Rescue Remedy” which is sold throughout the world in pharmacies and health food stores. Since Dr Bach, many more ranges have been created worldwide, including our own special Heart2Shine range. There are many ways to make an essence, all of which involve capturing a positive, healing vibration - initially in water - and then preserving it, usually with alcohol. Heart2Shine essences combine helpful vibrations from flowers, plants, certain geographies and supportive spiritual forces. Each essence in our range utilises different energies and frequencies. This means each essence was made differently." }, { "question": "Where do flower essences come from?", "answer": "Every one of our essences has been made in one of a variety of locations around beautiful and ancient Australia. As an essence works on your energy field, it’s important to understand what an energy field - or ‘biofield’ - is. Your body is made up of cells, each sending out electrical impulses. Anything that creates an electrical impulse also creates a magnetic field. This creates an energy field in and around the body. Some people call this an ‘aura’ or biofield. In different therapies an energy system may be named or utilised differently for energy healing. For example, traditional Chinese medicine works to prevent and treat illness by manipulating ‘chi’ in your meridian system via acupuncture. Your meridian system is akin to an electrical circuit that animates the body, mind and emotions. The chakra system is another energy-based modality. Chakras are power centres in the body, which are believed to accumulate and send energy into corresponding parts of the body as well as regulate overall balance in mind, body and spirit. Hands-on energy healing techniques have existed in all cultures all over the world and are becoming increasingly popular in the West to help restore personal balance. Regardless of whether you look to modern biochemistry or ancient traditional models, you are an electrical, energy based being. What separates modern medicine from other energy based models, or therapeutic systems, is the belief that your energy field is important and that keeping it regulated will also help keep you feeling more positive and balanced. Essence makers, and other energy-based, energy-healing therapies are sometimes labeled under the field of ‘vibrational medicine’. It’s important to be aware that you and everything in your world, whilst being ‘real’, also have an energetic component. Energy isn’t fixed, and as the signatures of your thoughts and feelings are also energetic, you are continually undergoing energetic interactions with yourself, others and your environments as you proceed throughout your day. Essences utilise your ability to interact with vibrations for a helpful effect. By capturing specific, supportive energies or life forces, essences can spark a beneficial reaction when you take them. Certain energies are helpful for certain issues and feelings, so the trick is to match the right essence to any disharmony you may be experiencing. The idea is: the greater energetic alignment between your body, mind and spirit, the better you feel. Modern scientific medicine works with energy fabulously in field of diagnostics, such as MRI scans, ECG scans and so forth. Therapeutically there are fewer applications to utilise it, although radiotherapy and TENS machines are some well-known examples. This isn’t surprising, however, as until the belief that an energy field is important to health becomes mainstream scientific thinking, new therapeutic means of working with energy are unlikely to be developed. At this time, therefore, helping wellbeing, thoughts or feelings using a gentle, energetic therapy such as essences, will remain an art rather than a science. The most common way to take your essence is to open the bottle, place small 7 drops from the pipette inside the bottle under your tongue, and swallow. This is most easily done in front of a mirror. Alternatively - and especially for those who do not like the taste of brandy, or sweet-tasting glycerine - put 7 drops in a glass of water or a water bottle and sip. Essences can also be administered by placing 7 drops on the crown of the head, into bath water prior to a soak, or into body cream prior to rubbing. Take your essence twice a day. Keeping your essence in a prominent place in the bathroom is a good way to remind yourself to take it. Some remedies can also be taken throughout the day as you feel you need support. In these cases, consider keeping a bottle in your handbag, at work or in the car. We recommend you finish your bottle even if you feel better quickly. It is important to note that finishing your bottle more quickly will not make the results appear more quickly. Essences work on your energy system. Sometimes the effects are immediate and other times take longer. The therapeutic effect comes from the interaction between the essence and your energy system. If you feel you need help urgently, always consult your healthcare practitioner or doctor." }, { "question": "How do I store flower essences?", "answer": "Essences are easy to store- simply keep your essence out of direct sunlight, whether at home, work or in the car." }, { "question": "What happens if I take the wrong essence?", "answer": "Don’t worry. Essences work on your energy field. If your system doesn’t need the essence, you simply won’t experience or feel anything. Sometimes, however, the effects of essences can be so subtle that you simply don’t notice the difference. Regardless, Heart2Shine essences are safe and non-toxic, so have confidence." }, { "question": "Can I overdose?", "answer": "No. Heart2Shine essences are safe and non-toxic. They contain no active ingredient, as pharmaceutical or herbal medicines do. Therefore they cannot overload any organ or system in the body. However, some people do experience a ‘treatment effect’. For example, one lady recognised she needed to learn to speak up for herself more, so she took Honesty. A few days after starting, she found herself clearing her throat more often, and after a week even reported speaking louder. This is a wonderful example of an essence working for that particular individual and producing a ‘treatment effect’. Working with your energy system is different from working with your physical body: sometimes when you work on one issue, another issue rises to the surface. In this case, continue taking your initial essence and consider supporting yourself by taking Fortitude, or select another essence to help you with the next level." }, { "question": "Will essences interact with my prescription medications?", "answer": "The essence itself will not; essences work on a different level from prescription pharmaceutical and herbal medicines. However, if your prescription medicine is contraindicated with alcohol, it is best to refer to your doctor or pharmacist before taking it. As essences work on your energy field, this answer is unique to you at any particular time. Sometimes effects are seen quickly and other times slowly and a second bottle is needed. We are truly sorry that we cannot be specific! Being human, we do like to quantify who, what, where, when and how – and when working with physical matters this is a good thing. But the rules of working with your energy system are different. Generally you will know it's working when you start to feel a change. Sometimes this change is dramatic. Fantastic! Continue to take your essence. Other times, the effects may seem subtle. You may feel a little more peaceful, more introspective or need to rest a little more. Sometimes you can feel inspired to finally do something or get help with something you have been putting off. Remember: Heart2Shine essences are working on your subtle energy field, which includes your body, mind, emotions and spirit; as well as the balance between all of these. Sometimes it’s another person who comments on a change; somehow you look different or you behave differently. Occasionally you may feel restless and maybe even temporarily uncomfortable with yourself. If this happens, don’t be alarmed. You are experiencing what is known as a ‘shift’ in energies within your system. If you find the shift too uncomfortable, we recommend taking Fortitude along with your current selection. If you (or others) are noticing anything then the essence is working on some level of your system. Regardless of how you experience its effects, continue to take your essence until it’s finished. Know that together, you and your essence will reach the optimal balance that can be achieved at this time. Keep taking your essence until it’s finished, even if you begin to start another one. If you feel there’s still more work to do and you have seen some sort of effect, take another bottle of the same essence. You might want to try using Heart2Shine Essence Images to see if another essence can be added to your course, or it may be obvious which one will work best at this time. One essence can lead beautifully into another. It’s not unusual for one level to become better harmonised, and another level to arise that needs harmonising too. This can happen in all forms of energy or vibrational medicine. We always suggest that you work to harmonise wherever you are now - the next stage will always make itself apparent." }, { "question": "Can I take essences if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?", "answer": "Yes. Pregnancy, childbirth and adjusting to life with a baby, are all hugely significant times in a woman’s life. Using essences can bring a wonderful sense of calm and comfort and help you adjust to changes in your body and life during these times. Similarly they can help your husband or partner adjust too." }, { "question": "How long will my essence last?", "answer": "Heart2Shine brandy essences will last at least 18 months after purchase and when stored out of direct sunlight. Glycerine preserved Heart2Shine essences should be used within 3 months. We deliberately hand-pour our essences in small batches to ensure freshness and the very best vibrational remedy we can. We suggest that you begin taking your essence as it arrives. Some people like to buy several at one time. Before you make your selection, try to have a clear idea of which one(s) you will be taking first. We also offer a Bespoke Essence Service that tailors a selection to your needs. It is not uncommon for either Zoe or Shirley to make a selection for an individual that lasts three months (depending on their needs). Taken as directed (7 drops twice a day), one 30 ml bottle should last between 3-5 weeks depending on the strength of the squeeze you give the pipette. Where you feel you will benefit from taking an essence for a longer time or will use as needed throughout the day, we recommend you to purchase the 50ml bottle." }, { "question": "How much alcohol is in each formulation?", "answer": "Our essences are made with distilled water and preserved in either a brandy or glycerine. Our brandy formula contains 8.4% alcohol. However as only 7 small drops of the formula are taken, it is very unlikely that will feel the effect of the alcohol. Putting it into context the average bottled beer is 5% alcohol and wine varies from 8-14% alcohol. So when you take 7 drops of our brandy formula, it is the alcohol equivalent of taking seven small drops of wine with 8% alchohol content. Our glycerine formula contains 0.1% alcohol, which is classified as “dealcoholised” in the UK and ‘alcohol free” in the US, at the time of writing. The alcohol content is detected from the original mother tincture in which the essence was created." }, { "question": "Am I safe to drive after taking the essence?", "answer": "Yes, if used according to dosage instruction - seven small drops under the tongue or into water and sip." }, { "question": "Can I still take flower essences?", "answer": "If you are a recovering alcoholic, please discuss this issue with a healthcare practitioner and/or personal support team who are specially trained to help you in this area. If you are underage or don't like alcohol, by putting seven small drops of our essence into a glass of water will dilute the overall alcohol content and taste or apply it to the crown of the head. If you are in doubt, please consult your healthcare practitioner or doctor. Our glycerine formula is also a great alternative. If you choose to add your drops to water to make your alcohol-free drink, remember you will have to drink this amount twice: once in the morning and once in the evening. If you choose to use your essence topically, please know that our glycerine formula can leave a tacky feel on the skin and finger. All our formulas are available using glycerine as a preservative. Glycerine is made from a vegetable source. The glycerine we use is non-GMO and derived from vegetable oils. Glycerine is extensively in herbal preparations, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and some foods. Please note the glycerine formulas will have a slightly thicker consistency, and sweet taste." }, { "question": "Can children take flower essences?", "answer": "Essences are a popular choice with parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles who wish to help harmonise emotions in the children they love. We often suggest that the family (or at least the essence giver) also takes the same remedy at the same time. Children can be especially sensitive to the energies of others without even realising it. For example, as the mother administers the essence to herself as well as her child, the mother comes into vibrational alignment with the remedy and so the child can ease into better alignment too. We are all energetic beings and whether we are conscious of it or not, we are always impacting the energy fields of others as theirs also impact ours. To give your child their essence, mix it into a little water and perhaps even follow it with a treat. Choosing to take yours at the same time can turn the exercise into a positive, loving experience. Teaching children to look after themselves from an early age is important for many parents. Our glycerine formula is sweet tasting and contains 0.01% alcohol. Essences can also be added to bath water. Like children, pets are also very sensitive to the energy of people and the home environment. As with children, we recommend the family (or whoever administers the essences) also takes the essence to help ease vibrational alignment for you and your pet. We recommend you to purchase the brandy formula for animals. Generally dogs are easier to give essences to than cats. 7 drops can easily be added twice a day to a dog’s water dish; please re-fill the bowl with fresh water each time. If your dog refuses to drink their water, try adding drops to wet or dry food and mix through. Don’t worry if your dog doesn’t finish all of his water - if the essences have been successfully added, they will still work; animals don’t need all 7 drops. If your dog refuses to drink or eat when the essence is added to their water or food, follow our instructions for a cat. We love cats and they always know when their owners are up to something! Once again, we recommend you take the essence that you wish to give to your cat. To administer an essence to a cat, place one drop of essence on your cat’s spine just where the spine finishes and the tail starts. Horses are generally easier to give essences to. 7 essence drops can be added to water, dropped onto feed or put onto your hand and rubbed onto your horse directly. Once again it is best if you and your horse take the same essence at the same time. If you choose to rub the drops onto your horse, it is best to take your own drops first. With all pets or animals, turning essence giving and taking into a loving ritual is always helpful. This isn’t always easy but it does pay to make your very best effort. Your satisfaction and happiness is important to us. Helping your heart shine is the reason we exist! If you are in any way unhappy with our products or services, we want to know. Please email or call us and we will work to rectify any issue as soon as possible. If you feel you bought the wrong essence, please return it to us, unopened, within 7 days of purchase and with a copy of your receipt and we will gladly exchange or refund. Please send any items you wish to return to us to: Heart2Shine, P.O. Box 274, Church Point, NSW 2105, Australia. We do not refund the cost of postage. Nor do we refund any Bespoke Essence blend unless life circumstances dramatically change between time of order and delivery. In this rare circumstance please email or call." }, { "question": "Can Heart2Shine essences be combined with other essences?", "answer": "Yes. If you are currently taking another company’s essence, please continue. Essences from one range can usually be added to another range depending on your individual needs. On occasion Zoe herself has combined Heart2Shine essences with Australian Bush Flower essences, Alaskan Essences and New Millennium essences." }, { "question": "Are flower essences regulated by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Act) in Australia, or the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) in the USA?", "answer": "Flower essences are not evaluated as a category by either the TGA or FDA. In the UK essences currently fall under Food legislation.

[ { "question": "Can I do this in Windows Azure?", "answer": "A. You can run MapReduce in Windows Azure. First we give some pointers, then get into some other options that might even be more useful or powerful, depending on what you are doing. Summary of most obvious Azure-oriented choices: (1) Apache Hadoop on Azure, (2) LINQ to HPC leveraging Azure, or (3) Daytona Map/Reduce on Azure. The first approach is to use the open source Apache Hadoop project which implements MapReduce. Details on how to run Hadoop on Azure are available on the Distributed Development Blog. Update 14-Oct-2011: Check out this write-up by Ted Kummert about his keynote at PASS where he discussed deeper Hadoop support for Windows Azure: “Microsoft makes this possible through SQL Server 2012 and through new investments to help customers manage ‘big data’, including an Apache Hadoop-based distribution for Windows Server and Windows Azure and a strategic partnership with Hortonworks. Our announcements today highlight how we enable our customers to take advantage of the cloud to better manage the ‘currency’ of their data.” Also, Avkash Chauhan provides a nice summary of the announcement. The MapReduce tutorial on the Apache Hadoop project site explains the goal of the project, as followed by detailed steps on how to use the software. Another entrant in this Big Data Analytics space is LINQ to HPC. For more details on LINQ to HPC, check out David Chappell‘s whitepaper called Introducing LINQ to HPC: Processing Big Data on Windows. Chappell explains the value proposition, and also talks about when you might use it versus using SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse. LINQ to HPC beta 2 is availlable for download.

[ { "question": "Is judicial release only available to those serving their first prison sentence?", "answer": "What if an inmate is granted judicial release and then violates the terms of his or her judicial release and sent back to prison to serve the remainder of his or her sentence." }, { "question": "Why should an inmate hire an attorney to represent him or her in filing for Judicial Release?", "answer": "Judicial release is a mechanism by which the sentencing court may release an inmate from prison prior to the completion of his or her sentence. The released individual is then placed on community control sanctions (i.e., probation). An inmate must be “eligible” to file a Motion for Judicial Release. There are several prerequisites to being an “eligible” inmate. First of all, the offense may not be of a certain nature (see below). Second, the inmate must have served a certain statutory minimum period of time prior to filing. Third, the inmate must have served all “mandatory” portions of his or her sentence. Once those eligibility requirements have been met, a Motion for Judicial Release may be filed and considered by the sentencing court. It is important that the Motion for Judicial Release be as thorough as possible. The Motion for Judicial Release must be provided to the prosecutor, who is required to contact the victim of the offense and may oppose the Motion. The sentencing court may deny the Motion for Judicial Release without a hearing. However, before granting judicial release, the sentencing court is required to hold a hearing. The inmate has a right to attend the hearing on his or her Motion for Judicial Release. Prior to the hearing, the sentencing court is required to contact the head of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections for a detailed report on the inmate and his or her conduct while imprisoned. At the hearing, the inmate, as well as the prosecutor, will have the opportunity to present evidence. The sentencing court will then issue a ruling within 10 days of the hearing. If the Motion for Judicial Release is denied without a hearing, the inmate may file another Motion for Judicial Release in the future, unless the sentencing court denies the Motion “with prejudice”. If the Motion for Judicial Release is denied after a hearing is held, then the sentencing court may not consider any subsequent motions for that eligible offender. If the Motion is granted, the sentencing court will order the release of the inmate and place the person on community control sanctions under the supervision of the sentencing court’s probation department. If the released inmate fails to abide by the terms imposed by the sentencing court or the conditions set by the probation department, a violation of the person’s judicial release may be filed, resulting in the prison sentence being re-imposed. If the inmate’s entire sentence is a mandatory sentence, then the inmate is ineligible to file for judicial release. If the inmate is serving a sentence consisting of both mandatory and non-mandatory periods, then the inmate is not eligible to file a Motion for Judicial Release until the mandatory portion of his or her sentence has been completed and the minimum period of the non-mandatory portion of the sentence has been served. The period before one can file is based upon the aggregated (total) non-mandatory prison term ordered by the sentencing court. If the aggregated non-mandatory prison term or terms is less than 2 years, the eligible offender may file the motion no earlier than 30 days from the date that he or she was delivered to prison. If the aggregated non-mandatory prison term or terms is greater than 2 years but less than 5 years, the eligible offender may file the motion no earlier than 180 days from the date that he or she was delivered to prison. If the aggregated non-mandatory prison term or terms is 5 years, the eligible offender may file the motion no earlier than 4 years from the date that he or she was delivered to prison. If the aggregated non-mandatory prison term or terms is more than 5 years but not more than 10 years, the eligible offender may file the motion no earlier than 5 years after the eligible offender is delivered to prison. If the aggregated non-mandatory prison term or terms is more than 10 years, the eligible offender may file the motion no earlier than the later of the date on which the offender has served ½ of his prison sentence or 5 years. No. Although, an offender must be given jail time credit for all days incarcerated in a given case, the days spent in jail do not count towards eligibility for judicial release. The relevant period for determining when an eligible offender may file a Motion for Judicial Release begins the date he or she arrives at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, i.e., his or her “admission date”. An inmate would be wise to avoid any disciplinary problems while incarcerated, as an inmate’s disciplinary record must be provided by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction to the sentencing court prior to any hearings on judicial release. Any disciplinary proceedings while incarcerated will have a detrimental impact on the sentencing court granting judicial release. I would also recommend that the inmate participate in and complete as many prison programs as possible, whether the programs pertain to education, vocational training, employment, treatment, or other rehabilitative activities. No. Although judicial release is much more likely to be granted to individuals serving their first prison sentence, it is possible for judicial release to be granted to individuals who have served one or more prison sentences prior to their present term of imprisonment. No. Judicial release may only be granted one time in any given case. Yes. In fact, the sentencing court may place the offender on community control sanctions up to 5 years the person is released from prison through the granting of judicial release. Unlike the trial stage of the case, when it comes to Judicial Release, the inmate carries the burden of proving that Judicial Release should be granted. Thus, the Motion should be thorough and well-written. Furthermore, the Motion may be overruled without a hearing. Although, inmates whose Motions have been denied without a hearing may file subsequent Motions for Judicial Release, having a history of poorly written Motions may have a detrimental impact on the likelihood that a subsequent Motion be granted. Additionally, in many counties in Ohio, the courts rarely grant judicial release. To increase one’s chances of success, it is important that the best, most-detailed motion be filed the first time." } ]

https://www.pkse.co.uk/technical/faqs_display.php?How-to-find-the-bottom-dead-center-of-a-kiln-tyre-7
[ { "question": "Kiln Doctor answer: Is the kiln running or shut down?", "answer": "If shut down simply find the center of the tire axially with a tape measure and scribe a line for about 12' circumference. Then use a level up against the bottom of the tire. When level, mark the tangent point on the scribed line. This is BDC. Use a precision level for better accuracy. For still more accuracy use an optical autolevel. Fix the zero end of a machinist's scale or optical tooling scale to a magnet and place the magnet end on the tire. The scale needs to be pointing out radially from the tire. With someone looking at the scale through the autolevel run the magnet/scale along the scribed circumferential line through bottom dead center. The observer through the autolevel will identify BDC when the scale reading reaches a maximum. If the kiln is running: Place the autolevel near the centerline of the kiln and look downhill to the bottom edge of the tire. The autolevel will have to be fitted on a vertical rack to allow vertical adjustment. Run the autolevel up/down so that the horizontal line of the cross hair is tangent to the edge of the tire. By carefully sighting the crosshairs at the bottom tangent point the center of the tire can be optically identified. Swing the scope and center punch a column. That will give you at least the elevation of BDC, downhill edge. Spray the bottom of the stationary tire with light oil. The oild will slowly drip off at the center of the tire." } ]

Referral hassles and restricted provider networks are never a concern. Dr. Ort spends the time necessary to address all of your concerns and will not rush your visit. He will sit down and explain your diagnosis and treatment plan in plain language. Since he is third-party free, he does not have conflicts of interest with respect to your care. His priority is what is best for you, not what is mandated by an insurance company. Our staff will treat you with courtesy and will call promptly with any test results. Most of the time Dr. Ort is personally available to assist you after regular hours for urgent concerns. We take any patient suggestion or complaint seriously and will strive to exceed your expectations. 3." }, { "question": "How do you create value for your patients?", "answer": "Excessive rules and mandates have resulted in skyrocketing healthcare costs. Patients pay expensive insurance premiums yet still cannot afford care due to high deductibles and co-pays. To make matters worse, patients have no idea what their out-of-pocket costs are until they receive a surprise bill months later. We take a simpler approach. By eliminating third parties from our practice, we reduce our administrative costs and pass these savings onto you. Patients know up front what they will pay for their care. We call this price transparency. There are no surprise or hidden bills that show up after the visit. Patients with high deductibles or no insurance will find that our fees are significantly lower than what they are currently paying out of pocket. For those of you who have out of network benefits, we can provide the necessary codes so that you can submit an insurance claim for possible reimbursement. 4." }, { "question": "How much will I have to pay?", "answer": "Our transparent fees are available in print and online. Please review our Fee Schedule and Payment Policy. Our healthcare system has changed and not for the better. Every year brings complex rules and mandates, leaving less time to care for patients. Medicine has become impersonal and automated much like an assembly line. Doctors are quitting independent practice or abandoning medicine altogether while their patients cannot even afford to see a doctor due to ever-increasing insurance premiums, deductibles, and copays. A direct pay practice allows Dr. Ort to maintain his solo dermatology practice and to serve his patients, NOT insurance companies, the government, or any other third party. 6." }, { "question": "How does your practice safeguard patient privacy?", "answer": "In a direct pay practice, neither insurance companies nor the government have access to your private medical record.

[ { "question": "Why take the trouble to investigate the Adventus approach when we already have a high quality music program and what I'm doing in the classroom is working?", "answer": "Integrating the Adventus approach will help students form a stronger foundation sooner, will greatly increase opportunities for cognitive, psychomotor, social and emotional development, and will also enhance interest in learning music. Music educators are rarely accused of changing too rapidly, but the opposite inclination has drawbacks too. Today's standards for group music instruction were adopted in the 50's and 60's. Group music education is overdue for an important advance...conditions have changed. Most traditional instruments are very costly, but MIDI piano keyboard controllers and computers are inexpensive now, and sophisticated MusIQ software has been developed to take advantage of these tools. There is an excellent opportunity to upgrade. The right strategy is to trade up for the best possible results with commonly available resources. The Adventus approach provides a reliable way to deliver much more skill development to every student, and that comes with incredible benefits. For that reason the Adventus approach deserves it's place in a teacher's toolkit. Allow the opportunity to improve - consider that many of the benefits associated with this new approach can't be delivered with traditional-only strategies. 2. There are a number of behaviour issues in our classes, and students with special learning needs are integrated into classes at every grade level." }, { "question": "The Adventus approach may make my music class more complex, how can this work with students on the spectrum or with ADD, ADHD?", "answer": "Software and electronic equipment has traditionally been the domain of engineers, scientists, and other professionals, but increasingly over the past 30 years software has been made much more accessible to non-technical users. The Adventus MusIQ software is an example of easy access, and the first year of its animated interactive software is completed successfully by children in preschool. It is true that students with special learning needs may take a class (or a few classes) to get comfortable using the MusIQ software, but when they do, these same students often gain much greater advantage from the interactive software than typical students do...and that's saying a lot. The net effect is to give special needs students a comfort zone they're attracted to, which prompts every 30 seconds for a small step, and ultimately gives them a sure way to accomplish something new that's meaningful to them. This is a new world for students with special needs. One noticeable general effect on students with special needs is that after using the software for 1-3 months, teachers note a significant increase in focused attention, and a dramatic decrease in behaviours in the music classroom. 3." }, { "question": "Are the activities included in the interactive software closely aligned with the elementary music curriculum, and are they effective, comprehensive, and free of cultural or gender bias?", "answer": "The Adventus MusIQ software has been reviewed by music specialists responsible for selecting student and teacher materials for use in NS schools. After successful reviews, Children's Music Journey software is listed as a resource for all NS teachers. The review process carefully screened for alignment with the curriculum and for cultural and gender bias. The most recent analysis of alignment was conducted by Adventus in August, 2015. Close alignment is an important aspect of any material, but the Adventus MusIQ software is also uniquely engaging and effective and has an impact on student progress. The Adventus MusIQ software was created in collaboration with experienced K-12 music teachers and authors of comprehensive public school music curricula, highly skilled musicians, early group piano specialists, distinguished composers, music theory specialists, administrators and gifted artists. A team of ambitious, talented software developers helped to create new technology that transformed a large number of fragments of pedagogy and content into sophisticated, comprehensive tools that are successful engaging students in the long term and keeping them on track. Over the past several years Adventus has continued to align its materials with more curricula, such as the national standards for comprehensive music curriculum in the US and UK, and provincial curricula across Canada. Analysis shows the Adventus MusIQ software is very effective addressing outcomes that complement the best traditional group strategies. 4." }, { "question": "How long does it take for a music specialist to become competent with the interactive software?", "answer": "The Adventus software can be used successfully by children as young as preschool age. Because the software is closely aligned with the comprehensive group music curriculum, a qualified music specialist will already be very familiar with all the intended outcomes. Typically a teacher would spend 1-2 hrs with someone experienced with the software, then spend 3-6 hrs working through the content and features to be able to call up the appropriate feature or content when it's needed. There is a large body of content, and there are detailed teacher guides to help review the sequence at a glance. A total investment of 6-9 hours of 'review' is all that's required for a qualified music specialist to become comfortable enough to begin delivering very successful classes. The majority of the planning work is already available in detailed teacher guides with weekly plans and student materials, plus practice and final assessments every ten weeks. 5. I don't know how we could free up any time in my classes." }, { "question": "What would I have to cut in order to include the interactive software in my class?", "answer": "Good teachers typically use up their class time, but there is always room to improve strategy. Some approaches are more effective with specific outcomes, and a different strategy for achieving specific outcomes may help students retain what they learn better, and/or progress more efficiently. Students consistently love to learn with the MusIQ software, and that increases student engagement. Some of the activities in the Adventus MusIQ software will be more effective and efficient in achieving curriculum outcomes than the way the teacher is used to achieving the same outcomes. When the software is used, it will save time achieving those outcomes. The time saved leaves free time in the 1hr class. Teachers can add 15 minutes of this new activity without sacrificing time for singing, and students will be more engaged. We should also assess the impact of out of class time. The MusIQ software is used for just 15-20 minutes in a 1 hour music class per week, but the Adventus approach successfully adds development time at home. Students enjoy using the software every day. Prior to the Adventus MusIQ software, regular engagement with an instrument at home was rare unless it was supported by private lessons (5-10% of students). With the interactive software being used at home, all students will be adding close to an hour to their musical development per week...fun 10-15 minute sessions that add up nicely, building skill and confidence and increasing interest in music. The new approach doesn't risk losing time in class, it provides a realistic opportunity to multiply the weekly time engaged in learning music! 6. The MusIQ software uses note names to identify notes on the piano keyboard." }, { "question": "Will this confuse my students who are at the same time learning to identify pitches using solfège (do-re-mi)?", "answer": "Hundreds of schools use the MusIQ approach in their day programs with no reported issues of confusion between learning piano key names and solfège naming. This does not mean no confusion occurs, but it does provide some assurance that confusion over solfège doesn’t generally delay progress with singing. With the Adventus approach, the piano learning begins in parallel with the singing development for several months, and as student voices mature (with age and training) the piano training and performances can merge with the voice training and performances. The addition of music reading and piano playing greatly increases students’ fundamental understanding and interest in the language of music, which helps singing development later on. Instead of delays caused by confusion between piano key labels and do re mi, the duality of piano and voice skill development is wonderfully complementary, adding much more than the sum of the parts. When experienced voice teachers are asked about their students learning to read music and play the piano, and they will confirm it helps. There is a reason private teachers are not very concerned about solfège confusion, and it’s because all evidence points to the net impact of piano learning on singing as a measurable positive. It should be noted that the impact of singing development on piano playing is also positive, singing develops the ear more efficiently than piano. 7. In my music class students learn as a group, where this software would have them working with a computer, which is a process between a computer and an individual." }, { "question": "Will they be losing an opportunity for social development?", "answer": "If you are using Kodaly methods for most of your class, students are likely to be spending most of their class time in group activities. If it’s important to you that they spend -all- of their class time in group activities, you can easily opt to use a group-only strategy for working with the software while in class. For example, a teacher can connect one music station to a projector and students can work through a lesson together as a class, discussing each part. While use of the interactive software on individual PC’s in class may reduce the group time somewhat, Adventus MusIQ software can also facilitate group performance, where students play as a ‘piano band’, while other students sing. The interactive software is helpful in motivating the student to practice regularly at home, so it is important there is some ‘group’ attention to the software, so if the whole class has some time with the software each week, that’s a good launch pad for the practice, which adds development time. Don’t forget that performing regularly for their family at home is a valuable part of a student’s social and emotional development, one that traditional music class typically doesn’t achieve. 8. I know my parents. They have a tough time getting prepared and motivated to help teach their children to read at home." }, { "question": "How am I going to prepare or motivate them to connect a keyboard to a computer, install the software, etc?", "answer": "In comparison to the regular reading assignment, the MusIQ practice is very simple. Setting the music station up at home, so a student can practice at home is definitely a little more involved than opening a book. But once the music station is set up for practice (after day one), the interactive software is guiding the student, and the music practice doesn’t require constant parental attention, rather it requires regular checking and weekly encouragement (which is partly done by the instructor, and assisted by the use of stickers and practice cards). It is recommended that parents sit down for a little each week with their child to ask them what they learned that week, and ask them to show what they can do. It’s a lot of fun for parents to see their child developing skills, it will connect the parent more with what’s going on at school. The instruction is coming from the music class at school, but it’s very helpful for children to see that their parents are also interested in skills they’re building. Prepare parents with a simple introduction to how Adventus materials are used. Parents will install the software and connect the MIDI keyboard to the USB port of the computer. If they have any problems, they have access to an Adventus toll-free support line, 1-888-999-6434. They will also have access to a support email, support@adventus.com. Adventus is familiar with all the issues and offers unlimited toll free support to all students and teachers. 9." }, { "question": "Is it important for students to experience the sound made from a quality acoustic instrument, as opposed to this electronic MIDI piano, where the sound is made by a computer?", "answer": "Sound waves produced by acoustic pianos were first captured and reproduced when Edison invented the phonograph. It was Edison’s favorite invention. At the time, a few performing musicians likely suggested that listening to a phonograph recording had the effect of lowering sound quality, and therefore suppressed musical development, and was not in fact ‘progress’. But the coincident distribution of a musical concert to people worldwide was considered extremely beneficial by most of the performing musicians and educators, and audiences because it could bring wonderful music into the homes of so many who would otherwise never experience the beautiful performances. So it is with the Adventus MusIQ approach, we are faced with the question of what’s more important... to limit the options for sound to traditional instruments like acoustic pianos, and coincidentally restrict the study of music to a privileged few, or to deliver the amazing benefits of developing instrumental music skills to every child in every school, with ‘smart’ instruments. From the perspective of a public school, it seems the latter would provide much more of an impact on overall academic achievement and quality of life. Delivering both is the best answer. Those who can afford to use a high quality instrument should do that, better quality instruments are more fun to play. But the 90-95%% of families who can’t afford the best quality instruments should be offered a practical ‘smart’ way to deliver the amazing benefits of developing instrumental music skills… so that no student is denied the benefit. As the phonograph opened up music performances to every family over a century ago, so the Adventus MusIQ approach opens the door for every student to receive all the amazing benefits intrinsic to this special process of developing instrumental music skills and the confidence and joy that comes from creating their own music. This is a real opportunity to democratize music and to impact overall academic achievement. The issue of sound quality is less of a controversy every day. Approximately twenty years ago the quality of the best electronically reproduced piano sound surpassed the point at which the most skilled performers could discern any difference from the best acoustic sound source… even when playing the different instruments. Going forward we’re likely to hear better and better sound quality at lower and lower price points as technology improves, but we have already passed the point at which a modest electronic device (under $100!) offers sound quality comparable to an mid-range acoustic (mechanical) piano. The public has not been slow to realize this, and it is already rare for students to begin their piano training on an acoustic instrument. According to Yamaha salespeople, over 90% of piano students start out on an electronic piano keyboard. Those who progress for a few years move to a nicer instrument." }, { "question": "For the purist, there is still a question of whether sound waves that are lower quality than those created by an acoustic instrument, will damage the student’s future musical development or remove their enjoyment of music?", "answer": "It seems likely that the ‘least-ideal’ sound waves are treated by students as temporary distractions, and there are very successful modern methods of music learning (originating in Japan) that purposefully add background noise to the learning process to force students to listen better to their play in the midst of the noise. This suggests developing an improved listening ability is dependent on a wide variety of sound quality. This aspect of development realistically part of every student’s musical training, since all students are obliged with their own singing, to undergo a transformation from their own ‘non-ideal’ instrument to a ‘better quality’ instrument. We need to experience a wide variety of sound quality to become discerning creators of music. i. The aesthetics of music is extremely important, but is not single faceted. While playing on a better sounding instrument is more fun, we also need to look at the enjoyment of ‘learning the language of music’, and the ‘enjoyment of building skills’. Expensive acoustic pianos are fun to play, but when a student gets home, and it’s time to facilitate learning in an enjoyable way, the interactive music learning software is more fun and the student develops more skill, and engages in the process more often. The skill a student develops and their ability to create their own music is a greater factor in their enjoyment of music than the quality of instrument they play on. The other factor is who can the skill be shared with.. and clearly lower quality instruments are ubiquitous compared to acoustic grand pianos. So when the child goes home, they can still share their music with their family and friends, every day, as opposed to waiting for the end of year concert at the music hall, or after they become a concert pianist, to derive enjoyment from performing. ii. 100 students enjoying building their musical skills and enjoying playing their music with and for their friends and family is clearly more valuable than 1 student learning on a grand piano, no matter how competent that 1 student may eventually become." }, { "question": "Of course, why not both?", "answer": "More to the point, if both, society will certainly benefit from more prodigious performers. 10." }, { "question": "Is it harmful for children under 12 to be using computers?", "answer": "There is no credible evidence that children under 12 are inherently harmed or delayed during the use of computers to complete well purposed tasks. There is no evidence of physical or mental issues developing for example, from reading a computer screen, as many billions have been doing for several decades. It is reasonable to exercise caution with the specific activities and content that are being accessed by a computer, all activities should be age and skill appropriate, and should not be passive (watching TV or movies). The 10-15 minutes per day of playing piano, with helpful composer characters keeping you on track, is most certainly beneficial. But the 2-4 hours per day the average child spends passively watching television is having a huge detrimental effect on their development." }, { "question": "What will the overall ‘quality’ of the music program be if we’re relying heavily on the software?", "answer": "If a dedicated music educator delivers a group music program with traditional-only strategies, and then integrates the Adventus approach as recommended, i.e. to address specific learning outcomes without reducing the focus on singing, the quality of that music program will see a measurable increase, both in the foundation created for future music learning, and in the level of interest exhibited by students in continuing with their music education. More development is better, and a good teacher will be able to achieve more development after integrating the Adventus approach." }, { "question": "A more appropriate question might be, how can this go wrong?", "answer": "Clearly if a teacher uses the interactive software for the duration of every class, they lose opportunities to form a strong connection with and among students, and that significant opportunity for social and emotional development should be taken advantage of in a group class. Using the software in the appropriate way is a benefit, while turning the classroom into a library study booth does not take advantage of the intense level of interest that can be realized when students are creating music with and for each other. The ideal balance can be easily identified by an experienced music educator, and the balance improves when students are provided the means to practice with the interactive software at home. 12." }, { "question": "How can support for this new approach be justified when I’ll effectively be devaluing what I’ve done?", "answer": "Please refer to a previous question about, the time used in class for this activity. There is room for improvement, and if any of the creators of the above methods were actively pursuing improvement in their methods today, it’s hard to imagine they would proceed without considering the use of Adventus MusIQ software. In this sense it’s more accurate to think of the Adventus approach as an extension to these methods, not a competitive method. The small in class footprint of the interactive software, with most of the skill development occurring at home, is compatible with that view. 13." }, { "question": "Isn’t my autonomy as a teacher threatened by introducing this segment, which will set new expectations, what about pressure to repeat?", "answer": "On the surface this is a key concern for every teacher. A teacher that is already stretched to cover curriculum and put on two concerts a year, and deal with behavior issues can only be pushed so far before their mental and physical health suffers. Increasing expectations without adding significantly more resource support seems like a big risk. On closer analysis, the common result of introducing this new interactive component to the class, while it will certainly increase expectations, is to reduce behavior issues, and increase student interest and progress, making it easier for the teacher to accomplish more in the same amount of class time, and have more fun doing it." }, { "question": "The result of achieving more in the same class time is to open up a new world of possibilities, most prominently, what to do with the increased interest and skills?", "answer": "It turns out that this serious concern will soon be replaced by some seriously fun, new options. As to the certification, distinguished music education institutions like the Victoria Conservatory of Music are already stepping in to provide very accessible online mentoring and certificates in the Adventus approach. More to follow. 14." }, { "question": "What about competition with other instrumental activities, such as the recorder we already use in class, band which starts in grade 4, or a strings program that takes a few students from each of the district schools?", "answer": "50 - 75% of George Jay students moving on to middle school will go into the music program there, thanks to the recent increase in music instruction provided at George Jay to grades 3 - 5. Previously almost no children from George Jay joined music programs in middle school. Classroom teachers of students who have participated in music programs at George Jay report that their students exhibit a much better ability to focus/concentrate during class, and as such, academic results, as well as general language skills have improved greatly. The school's rating on the Fraser Institute Report on Schools has risen drastically since the introduction of the CMJ and other externally provided music programs (Ukulele, choir). Four years ago G.J. was rated 970 out of 979 schools - thus almost at the bottom of the ranking scale for BC. Two years ago literacy rates had increased already by 30%, however since the CMJ program was introduced at that time (2013), the rating has improved to now be between 70-80%. The school has jumped 250 spots just in the past 2 years, and now ranks within the top 80-90% in the Victoria Board listings. 15. Some students are already involved in other instrument lessons. My degree is not in piano, I am a specialist in Oboe and choral and early childhood music education." }, { "question": "Why teach piano?", "answer": "The piano is an excellent foundation instrument, for a few key reasons. First, the piano is very accessible in that students can make satisfying sounds with the electronic piano keyboard as young as 3 years of age, even with small weak fingers. Second, if we are trying to create a foundation for all future music learning, we should aim at a foundation that addresses the whole language of music. Piano notation is arguably the best suited for providing a comprehensive foundation in music theory, involving two staves, treble and bass clefs, with different melodies, chords and rhythms in each hand and plenty of activity for all fingers on both hands. If a teacher can succeed with piano initially (as it appears the Adventus approach can), then transferring skills from the superset (the whole language) to a subset (the single note treble clef melody of a recorder, saxophone, violin, etc.) is a much smaller step. Third, the piano connects directly to the computer and the interactive MusIQ software creates a lot of value from the instant availability of digital information representing the notes the student is playing, their duration, their velocity and their pitch. Some software tries to make use of microphone input in an attempt to assist with feedback from any instrument, but microphone input is inherently delayed (it can’t be used for immediate feedback) and it’s also less accurate. Immediate feedback is very important, especially in the novice to intermediate development phases we’re considering, to the impact the interactive software can have on the learning process. Fourth, the electronic MIDI piano keyboard is now available for less than $100, cost competitive with a recorder, the cheapest instrument. 16." }, { "question": "My school has not invested in much for our music program, is it likely they will agree to make computers and software and MIDI keyboards available to my program?", "answer": "This is an important question. Even with all the obvious benefits, this addition to your program can’t succeed without support. There are different approaches used by schools to provide the first step, the in-school lab, and there are different approaches used to facilitate the provision of low cost keyboards and software for practice stations at home, which are highly recommended. In all cases the first step is to convince yourself as an educator that these benefits are worth providing to students. Because the financial resources are not nearly as challenging as they used to be. There are grants such as Title 1 that could fund some or all of the equipment under a school improvement program focused on improving behavior and math and reading, and parental involvement in education. There are outside partners, individuals who want to give back to their communities, who can independently fund a school lab on their own, or in collaboration with fundraising activities run by parents. Annual or monthly subscription licenses for schools and homes make it possible to pay for required equipment across a number of years. In summary, the funding support begins with the educator, and gains momentum with each person who understands the lifelong value to every student of integrating the Adventus approach. Every individual who takes a serious look at the results of well-run programs, and who considers the above questions and answers, is a potential champion of the upgrade to your music program.

This is due to a price increase from the US Postal Service as of January 20th, 2018. We are hoping to get this ability back in service as soon as possible without it being unaffordable. We do not accept returns. However, all HellMounts are guaranteed for a year from purchase and will be replaced for the cost of shipping if anything happens to them aside from loss or theft." }, { "question": "What are HellMounts made of?", "answer": "We currently 3D print our mounts out of ASA, chosen for its UV-resistant properties as well as environmental durability. We are hoping to offer some cast mounts in the future - there is no current schedule for this." }, { "question": "What connectors do you use with your mount?", "answer": "The stock J-Hook that is included with most cameras works fine. If not, a common choice (and mine, because I kept breaking J-Hooks) is a 20-25mm (~1 inch) straight extension on a standard click-in base. We 3D scan and model the helmet in question and design a GoPro-style mount on top of that. We then test our products for durability, ease of use, and proper camera placement before moving them into production." }, { "question": "What helmets do you make HellMounts for?", "answer": "Please view our Products page to see all available mounts, and we are currently developing mounts for other popular helmets." }, { "question": "Can you make a mount for my ____ helmet?", "answer": "Drop us a line through the Contact page and let us know what helmet you're looking for.

It's motorcycle heaven, by the way." }, { "question": "How many people work at HellMounts?", "answer": "My name is Rob, and I work as an industrial design engineer during the day and work at HMLA HQ most evenings. While I've had some help off and on, and despite my best efforts to get more people involved in production, I'm still the only person who makes the mounts for sale. I do get help with packing & shipping, but all design and manufacture is carried out by me. Riding in LA is wild and probably unsafe. Being driven by design in everything I do, I made what made sense - a real POV mounting position with the benefit of drag reduction. A few friends tried to get me to sell what I was using on my own helmet to the public. After much reluctance I gave in." } ]
http://buxup.co.uk/faq/what-is-pay-per-click
[ { "question": "So what is PPC, exactly?", "answer": "Pay Per Click advertising is one half of a solid SEO plan. It's also a great way for businesses to get started, as long as they have a bit of budget to invest. Traditional SEO, like keyword research and link tracking, is excellent for long-term site building. PPC advertising is the process you use to fill the gap between starting your business and getting your Internet marketing up to speed. With Pay Per Click Advertising, you are presented with a list of keywords and their costs. Each keyword is something a user might type into a search engine - shoe shiner Los Angeles, carpet cleaners in Dallas, professional fire inspections for example -- and where you want your site to appear in the results. Your business should target keywords relevant to the product or service you provide. This also kick starts your keyword research for later SEO. For each keyword, you are given a price per click. Some PPC services allow you to bid on a keyword, and other companies can out-bid you for control over that keyword. Other companies have a fixed price and you simply purchase clicks. Either way, this is where your budget comes into play. You might pick one keyword for which you want to purchase 1,000 clicks. This means that when users search for this keyword, they will see your website in the sponsored links. Your website will remain as a sponsored link until 1,000 people have clicked it. From there, what they do is up to you. If they become customers or if they bounce away depends on the quality of your content and the utility of your site. Local PPC target search engine and professional social network users with the local business ads as soon as they search for your product or service in the target markets. BuxUp ensure that only the most relevant traffic is being shown your ads. BuxUp identify which ads are bringing the most convertible leads to the site, and which ones are generating the highest percentage of sales enquiry. Equipped with this information we will be able to optimise the your PPC ad campaigns so it is constantly running at the optimal level. PPC advertising is very versatile for two reasons. First, you can purchase clicks in as high or as low a volume as you want, for as many keywords as you want, as long as you have the budget to pay for those clicks. Second, it takes effect immediately. As soon as you complete the bid for the keyword and set up your ad, it goes live. Your traffic begins immediately. This is why it is an excellent beginning to a long-term paid SEO campaign." } ]

You will need to frame them before displaying. All paintings on canvas are professionally packaged by either UPS or FedEx. I buy insurance for all shipments and require signature for delivery. I will email you the tracking number so you will know when to expect delivery. For paintings on paper, I place the artworks in an acid-free sleeve and carefully ship it in an extra-thick, sturdy mailing tube for safe shipping. I ship works on paper via USPS, with insurance and tracking number, and require signature for delivery. I ship to some international countries. Please email me for further information. Shipping within the US is included for works on paper. Shipping fees for paintings on canvas shipped within the US, up to 36” x 36” are included. For larger works, please email me to discuss shipping options. All of my artwork is one-of-a-kind and the materials of canvas and paper are fragile in nature, therefore returns are not accepted and all artwork sales are final. Colors may vary slightly in person, however I do my absolute best to take well lit, accurate photos of my work. I recommend viewing artwork on more than once device when possible, for example your computer and your cell phone, as monitors and displays are all calibrated uniquely.

If the artwork is damaged by the shipping service, please email me pictures of the damaged packaging and art within 24 hours of receiving it. I inspect all artwork and photograph it before shipment. Fingers crossed nothing ever goes wrong! Yes! I accept a limited number of commissions on a case by case basis each year. Please email me so we can discuss." }, { "question": "Are you in San Francisco or Nashville?", "answer": "Good question! I am lucky to have two places I love in my heart and both places inspire me and my artwork. I maintain studios in both San Francisco and Nashville. Because of this, paintings will ship from whichever studio they were created. It is important to me that I use professional, artist-grade quality materials. To care for all original art, I recommend avoid hanging in direct sunlight as well as avoiding areas where the artwork will be exposed to moisture in the air. Framing is such a personal style choice and there are so many options. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and the desired look you want to achieve. My paintings on canvas are stretched on stretcher bars which means they do not require framing to be hung on the wall. That said, many people enjoy the extra bit of polish a frame gives their painting. My paintings on paper are sold unframed and will need to be framed in order to be hung on the wall.

To register with Bonify, we require an original Medical Document. Your prescribing physician to must submit a unique Medical Document to each LP you intend to register with." }, { "question": "How do I renew my registration with Bonify?", "answer": "The renewal registration process is the same as the initial registration process. You will need to complete a new Registration Form and submit a new original Medical Document.

You are permitted to order up to 30 times your daily prescribed amount within any 30-day period. For example, if your daily approved dosage is 1 gram/day, you can order up to 30 grams every 30 days. If your daily approved dosage is 3 grams/day, you can order up to 90 grams in any 30 day period. Bonify is authorized to deliver a maximum of 150 grams in one order. If your prescription allows for over 150 grams per month, we will ship you separate orders containing no more than 150 grams to ensure we are in compliance with Health Canada regulations." }, { "question": "What Shipping Methods do you offer and how long will it take to receive my medication?", "answer": "*Delivery times may exceed these averages on some occasions. With both of our shipping options, you will receive a tracking number so that you can follow the package as it is in transit and a signature will be required upon delivery. Orders completed after 5:00 p.m. CST on business days will be shipped the following day. Orders completed on weekends will be shipped the next business day. We heard it from the participants in the focus groups we ran while in the process of being licensed to sell: “keep shipping simple”. As a result, we offer FREE shipping on orders over $270 before taxes and a flat rate of $10 on all other orders regardless of whether Purolator Express or Canada Post XpressPost is the option you select." }, { "question": "Why is the order minimum 10 grams?", "answer": "We pre-package orders in 10 gram increments to expedite processing time so we can ship your order quickly. Doing this also reduces costs, which allows us to offer you a better price per gram.

To learn more visit CRA’s website here." }, { "question": "Is Bonify product covered by my medical plan?", "answer": "While medical cannabis has not been assigned a Drug Identification Number, we recommend contacting your provider directly to confirm the potential of coverage as some progressive insurers are now providing coverage for medical cannabis and/or including coverage of medical cannabis in Health Spending Accounts. Common methods of consuming medical cannabis include vapourizing, smoking or baking into an edible product to digest. With your health as a priority, we recommend vapourizing your medical cannabis. Vapourization is the process of heating the cannabis to a temperature prior to combustion, allowing you to experience the benefits of the cannabinoids while avoiding the health risks associated with inhaling burnt plant matter from smoking. Additionally, this consumption method is more efficient than ingesting baked edibles, which will help avoid overconsumption. Shop our selection of vapourizers here." }, { "question": "How much medical cannabis should I use?", "answer": "A widely shared belief advises beginners to ‘start low and go slow’. According to Health Canada, most individuals vapourize or smoke an average of 1 to 3 grams per day. We recommend starting with a much lower dose and incrementally increasing as needed. Document each experience in detail, including product, dosage and method used during consumption to understand how medical cannabis uniquely affects you." }, { "question": "How much medical cannabis can I have in my possession?", "answer": "The amount of dried marijuana you can possess is the lesser of thirty times the daily amount stipulated by your healthcare practitioner or 150 grams. For example, if your healthcare practitioner recommends 3 grams per day, you would be allowed a maximum of 90 grams at any one time (30 days × 3 grams). However, if your healthcare practitioner recommends 6 grams per day, you would be allowed to possess a maximum of 150 grams at any one time, which would, therefore, be less than a 30-day supply." }, { "question": "What should I carry as proof of legal possession of medical cannabis?", "answer": "If asked by law enforcement, you can demonstrate that you are in legal possession of medical cannabis obtained from Bonify by showing the label on the package containing your specific client information. Carrying your Bonify member card included in your first order independently from the product’s original packaging is not sufficient documentation to legally possess medical cannabis." }, { "question": "Can I drive after consuming medical cannabis?", "answer": "In order to avoid legal and safety implications, it is strongly recommended to refrain from driving a motor vehicle or operating heavy machinery while under the influence of medical cannabis. Health Canada’s ACMPR regulations are designed to ensure that there is a safe supply of medical cannabis available to individuals from Licensed Producers. Bonify has implemented an extensive quality management system with over 300 components to assure consistent products are produced. Cannabinoids are the active compounds found in cannabis. Over 100 cannabinoid compounds have been isolated within the cannabis plant. Two of the most prominent and discussed cannabinoids are THC and CBD. The amounts of each cannabinoid found in cannabis can vary greatly from strain to strain. Cannabinoids act on targets found in the body known as cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors are found throughout the body, in most tissues and organs, but they are especially numerous in the brain and nervous system. Cannabinoid receptors are involved in the regulation of many bodily functions including brain and nervous system activity, heart rate and blood pressure, digestion, inflammation, immune system activity, perception of pain, reproduction, wake/sleep cycle, regulation of stress and emotional state and many other functions. The two most commonly discussed cannabinoids are THC and CBD, due to the fact that they are found in relatively high concentrations in the plant. THC (delta9-Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a primary cannabinoid found in cannabis. THC is widely known as the majority compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, providing a type of euphoric feeling. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a secondary compound within cannabis. CBD is non-psychoactive and may have targets other than the cannabinoid receptors. Terpenes chemicals are made and stored in the trichomes of the cannabis plant, along with the cannabinoids. Unique combinations of terpenes give different cannabis varieties their unique aromas. Registered Bonify members can view each strain’s most prominent terpenes to interpret what the product may smell and taste like." }, { "question": "How can I choose the right product for me?", "answer": "Bonify’s product pages provide registered members with helpful information to assist in their decision-making process, including detailed descriptions, prominent terpenes, cannabinoid levels, and more.

[ { "question": "The Moustache Wax is hard/how do I apply Moustache Wax?", "answer": "The moustache wax is always kinda hard. The harder it is the better it is at holding your moustache in position after application. The tin may need slightly warming, but only as much as say its been in your pocket for a while. You can also heat it up with a blow dryer or try running the closed tin under hot water for a few minutes." }, { "question": "What about men with moustaches?", "answer": "You can use our Urban beard Moustache wax to give your moustache nutrients and hold at the same time. Perfect for when your decide to curl the ends of your mustache and look like a debonair distinguished gentleman. Our beard butter is a non-greasy alternative to beard oil. Its consistency is thick which adds control and holds your beard down, yet is easily absorbed into your beard and skin. Our Beard Butter has a matte finish and a zesty invigorating minty scent, which will leave you feeling fresh." }, { "question": "Logically, the question ought to be: Why NOT grow a beard?", "answer": "But shaving is the norm and letting the beard grow is the exception. So, it may require a bit of courage to take the decision to grow a beard. Once that decision is taken, it is easily reversed upon second thought. And another would-be beard disappears. When you see a man with a full-grown beard, you know he made the decision to be bearded and he had the character to stick with it." }, { "question": "How can I keep my beard clean?", "answer": "Just like your hair, wash and shampoo your beard regularly. A mild shampoo like Urban Beard's shampoo bar is easier on your skin. After shampooing, you should use Urban Beard cleansing conditioner. Be sure to rinse thoroughly, failure to rinse sufficiently may result in flaking. Gently pat and wipe your beard dry with a towel. Use Urban beard oil to help make your beard feel softer and smoother. If you still have some stray hairs sticking out, our Urban Beard wax will keep those bad boys down and in check. Finish up by combing your beard and mustache with a wide-toothed comb to remove tangles. Facial hair can trap dirt and even the smell of your favorite meal. Washing your beard with regular soap or shampoo can help, but they aren't designed for your beard and can leave it dry, striped of nutrients and often doesn't fully neutralize the scent. Urban Beard's organic shampoo and cleansing conditioner have mild soap properties that won't leave your beard feeling dry, but will leave it feeling clean and invigorated." }, { "question": "Why a special shampoo for beards?", "answer": "When washing their beards, most men just let whatever drips down from washing their hair do the job. This is probably because regular shampoo tastes very bitter and applying it directly around the mouth area is unpleasant. But because beards are directly exposed to foods, drinks, and smoking products, they deserve to be treated better. Urban Beard shampoo's mild-flavoured organic formula makes it a pleasure for a man to wash his beard as often and as thoroughly as he likes." }, { "question": "Can you use beard shampoo on your hair too?", "answer": "Yes. What's good for your beard is also good for your hair, especially since Urban Beard products are 100% organic . It's a good idea to use beard shampoo on your hair, but not a good idea to use hair shampoo on your beard. It really does depend on a number of factors, each of which is going to dictate how much awesome beard oil you’re going to need, but the basic guide is: short beards 3 – 4 drops, medium beard 5 – 7 drops, long beards 8 plus drops. Realistically the only way to find out how much you will need for your beard is by trial and error. Beard length, beard thickness, hair type and skin type all play major roles in determining how much oil you'l be using." }, { "question": "What if you are just starting to grow a beard?", "answer": "When you stop shaving, your skin may react by producing more dead cells. They often get trapped in the bristles of the new beard growth, causing irritation. Frequent washing with Urban Beard's shampoo bar is an excellent way to avoid this problem. There is also our beard oil, many new beard wearers find that the organic botanical ingredients in Urban Beard Oil are especially soothing to the skin in the first few weeks of growth. I have a full beard, and it's out of control." }, { "question": "How can I tame my mane?", "answer": "Beard hair is often coarser than the hair on your head. While you may just need to run a brush or comb through your hair, your beard needs a little bit of weight to keep the frizz to a minimum. Urban Beard Oil and wax products have essential oils and Carnuba wax that tame and smooth your beard. Remember, just a dab will do. Rub a small amount (think quarter size, not shot glass) on your beard from root to tip after you shower." }, { "question": "Why use an organic wax over a petrochemical based one?", "answer": "The benefits of using an organic wax over a petrochemical based one is not only will it give you a great, safe hold, but often the ingredients in organic waxes will penetrate the hair shaft giving your moustache or beard a deep conditioning, thus strengthening the bristles over time. Petroleum Jelly does not penetrate the hair shaft, but coats it, creating a moisture barrier." }, { "question": "Why do you use Amber Glass Bottles?", "answer": "We use amber glass bottles for better UV protection. Amber bottles can filter out blue and ultraviolet light. The problem with blue bottles is that they allow the blue light in and this is not good for essential oils, skin or beard care products. When you protect the ingredients from the harmful UV rays, you are extending the shelf life of the essential oils and maintaining their antioxidant properties." }, { "question": "Why Glass?", "answer": "Glass is easier to recycle then plastic and more importantly, no harmful chemicals from the plastic can leach into our products. It is said that 60% of what we apply to our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream. Glass is an eco-friendly choice that protects you from chemicals that can be found in some plastic materials." } ]

[ { "question": "Why do some of your reissues have different covers and titles?", "answer": "I’m traditionally published (vs.independently published) so that’s strictly up to the publisher. I have no real say on when or how a book will be reissued. However, when a book is reissued years after the original publication date, it only makes sense to give it a fresh look and title that reflect the current times. It is not meant as a way to dupe readers into buying the same book, but rather it’s a means to let new readers acquire some hard to find copies they may have missed earlier." } ]

Systems that replicate information and processes of the ERP should be eliminated. The creation of new systems and updating of formerly existing systems are outside the scope of this project. All options that can reduce overall one-time and recurring costs for the ERP system must be considered. Colleges and the SBCTC will commit the necessary human resources to design, implement and test the system in a timely and efficient manner, with the understanding that it will require the dedication of many of their best \"key\" staff members. Our project leaders, steering committee members, executive sponsors, and other participants in the ERP project will be chosen wisely and will be empowered to make necessary decisions. Consistent data structures are required. Processes and procedures may not need to be identical on each campus; however, processes and procedures must be sufficiently similar to remain within the common academic and business services framework of the community and technical college system. ERP system implementation will require employees to acquire new software tools and business skills, making it possible for them to work at a different and possibly higher skill level.

This, along with your preference for a particular site, major, language ability, organizational involvement, and areas of interest help GESI staff place students in a location. In addition to student strengths and interests, GESI staff considers the preferences and needs of each community when placing students in country locations. In the online application, GESI applicants apply to their first choice country location and indicate other locations that they are open to. Note: You should not complete more than one application in the online system or list GESI as your first and second choice. If you change your mind about your location preferences during the interview (which is very common! ), the GESI staff will transfer your application to reflect your new preferences." }, { "question": "How is my internship placement determined?", "answer": "For Guatemala (SEC): All GESI students intern directly with the program partner. By applying to go to Guatemala, students are applying to intern with SEC. For FSD sites: The GESI staff works FSD site teams in-country to place students in teams of three to five. These teams are formed to represent diverse sets of skills and interests. We then work with on-site staff to find a partner organization that fits within the shared interests of each team. These organizations are very diverse, from NGOs to social enterprises to governmental organizations. What they have in common is that they have close relationships with FSD. Internship placements and GESI teams will be announced approximately one month before the program begins. For Ghana (Amizade): Students applying to Ghana are applying to intern with our partner Amizade. Students with Amizade will work with the local NGO Peace Humanity International (PHI)." }, { "question": "Where do I find detailed information about my GESI site?", "answer": "Refer to your country specific pre-departure packet for detailed site information, including a recommended packing list." }, { "question": "How do I stay in contact with people back home?", "answer": "GESI encourages students and parents to discuss how, and how often, they will communicate prior to the start of the program. Learn more about how to communicate abroad on our Health & Safety page, as well as country-specific pre-departure packets." }, { "question": "Is it safe?", "answer": "While in-country, students live in homestays with local community members. Please visit the Accommodations page for further information." }, { "question": "When will I learn about my homestay family?", "answer": "Although we realize that learning about one’s homestay family can be among the most exciting (and anxiety-producing) aspects of students’ preparations to go abroad, we often cannot make homestay information available until a few days before students’ departures. Since the GESI roster undergoes occasional changes at the last-minute, we finalize homestay arrangements with our in-country partners in the weeks just prior to student arrivals in-country. In the meantime, rest assured that you will have a carefully-selected family ready and waiting for your arrival." }, { "question": "What is a normal day in-country like?", "answer": "A student’s daily life depends on his/her host country and project. In most cases, students can expect to be working at their host organization’s office or in the field during the normal workday, spend time with their host family or friends in the evenings, and take the weekends off or spend it with their host family. That said, students are often eager to schedule their work hours and project-related events during times at which they can involve a significant number of community members, which may mean working more weekend and evening hours while resting during the day. Day-to-day schedules will vary, depending on the pace of life in a student’s host country as well as the nature of their particular project. If you are interested in speaking with a past GESI alum about his/her experience, please contact us." }, { "question": "What sort of work will students do while abroad?", "answer": "No two GESI experiences are the same. The work that students do while abroad is highly dependent on the skills you and your GESI teammates bring to your internship, and the resources and needs of the organization that will host you as interns. The GESI staff will work with you during the application process to help find a location and internship that is a good match for you. Once you’re in-country you and your GESI teammates will collaborate with your host organization to determine the focus of your work. To learn more about the work previous students have collaborated on with communities abroad, see our Case Study and Recent Student Work pages." }, { "question": "How are local organizations or community groups selected?", "answer": "Clear focus and mission easily aligned with student efforts. We look for sites in which the level of GESI student interest is high. Staff capacity to support a group of interns. The partner providing in-country supervision must have full-time, year-round staff working closely with local NGOs and/or community groups. Ongoing programs where students can add value. We look for communities and organizations that have programs containing possibilities for students to add value. Flexibility to work with the unique sets of talents GESI students offer. GESI looks for organizations that will communicate effectively with GESI teams. Desire for a long-term, sustained relationship with the GESI program. Country and site location complies with all university policies on state department travel warnings and risk assessment criteria (health, safety)." }, { "question": "What can a team of students really accomplish in two months?", "answer": "A lot! GESI emphasizes sustainability and encourages students to collaborate on work that will continue to positively impact communities long after the students return home. Many collaborate on work that build the capacity of the host community. Read about examples on our Recent Student Work and Case Study pages. Additionally, through Kaya, ICADS, FSD, Social Entrepreneur Corps, and Amizade, GESI’s partners have a constant flow of interns who can continue the work GESI participants started. Change students: These experiences open the eyes of students to a new reality, equip them to create change, and send them back to their home country with a passion for an under-served place and a better sense of how they can impact global change from whatever sector they enter. Build community capacity: A well-executed student project not only makes a short-term difference in the local community, but it also acts as a catalyst for community development. This collaborative work can initiate conversations that may not otherwise have happened, enhance the capacity of key community members to make an impact, and develop processes for change that long outlive the students’ presence. Lead to larger initiatives: Often, students stay deeply connected to their host organization and come back to work with the community to expand upon the work they began. Many GESI alumni have returned to their host countries to develop their projects further, conduct research, or work at another local organization." }, { "question": "Who should apply to GESI?", "answer": "Even if you’ve never read a book on international development, volunteered, or been abroad, GESI wants students passionate about global change. Recent first-year college students through recent college graduates are eligible. GESI recognizes the value of diverse student perspectives and is designed to meet students wherever they are in their personal and professional development.

According to the IIE 2013 Open Doors Report on Educational Exchange, only 24% of all study abroad participants and 38% of all college students describe themselves as being a race other than white, as compared to 55% of GESI students in 2014." }, { "question": "During which undergraduate year should I apply to GESI?", "answer": "For both courses, Development in the Global Context: Participation, Power and Social Change and Doing Development: Theory and Practice of Global Community Consulting, students are evaluated based on a combination of class participation, written assignments, and final group reports and presentations. Students are graded on the academic portions of the program and the efforts they make at their internship sites, rather than the outcomes of their development work." }, { "question": "How much credit will students get?", "answer": "During GESI Summer, students earn two Northwestern credits (equivalent to six semester hours). Click here for course descriptions and syllabi, and here for professor bios." }, { "question": "Will course credit transfer to my school if I am not a Northwestern student?", "answer": "GESI cannot guarantee that course credit will transfer to other colleges, but we will work closely with students and their home institutions. We encourage all students to meet with their academic advisers and Registrar early to determine how/if the Northwestern credit will apply. At the conclusion of the program, students should request a Northwestern transcript in order to begin the process of transferring credit to their home institution. Click here to request a transcript for GESI Summer and here to request a transcript for GESI Fall. I am not planning to get academic credit for GESI." }, { "question": "Do I still need to complete all GESI coursework?", "answer": "YES…and we hope you want to! By participating in coursework and activities, you learn skills and have hands-on-experiences that will make you effective in the field, benefiting your internship site, host community, and GESI team. In addition, GESI coursework is designed to prepare you for the professional world, providing you with project management experience within a team setting and also helping you reflect on your role in development and the world more broadly. Whether or not you are a Northwestern student, you will have a permanent record and a transcript at Northwestern; when applying to fellowships, graduate school, and other post-grad opportunities, you may be asked to furnish a transcript from all institutions you have attended.

Learn more about withdrawal policies for Northwestern affiliated programs here, or contact the GESI office for more information." }, { "question": "How much money should I expect to spend in-country?", "answer": "Although the amount of spending money students expend during the program varies based upon individual students’ spending habits, countries, and exchange rates, the average amount that students reported spending in 2014 was between $250-$500. Most students used this money for souvenirs, gifts, eating in restaurants, entertainment, and tourist excursions." }, { "question": "What travel arrangements are students responsible for?", "answer": "Students are responsible for booking their own transportation to and from Northwestern. At the conclusion of Pre-Departure Coursework, students will take a group flight, arranged by GESI, to and from their host country. For more information, please see the Costs and Travel, Passport, Visa pages. Learn more about how to obtain a visa according to your GESI location here." }, { "question": "Am I allowed to stay with family or friends in Chicago/Evanston for the Pre-Departure Coursework and Final Reflection Summit, or do I have to stay with the group?", "answer": "Since the two summits offer valuable opportunities for group bonding, we encourage students to stay with the group. However, with advanced notice, we allow students to stay with family or friends during either or both of these summits. Please note that students who do not stay with the group are still responsible for paying the full program fee, and they are still required to be present and punctual for all classes and activities." }, { "question": "What safety and security measures exist?", "answer": "GESI has implemented comprehensive safety measures approved by Northwestern University and in collaboration with our partners, designed to address any health or safety issues that may arise. Learn more on our Health & Safety page." }, { "question": "Do students need special health insurance?", "answer": "Northwestern University provides GeoBlue health insurance coverage for the entire period of time GESI students are abroad, regardless of any other coverage they might have from their parents. Learn more on our Health & Safety page." }, { "question": "What happens in case of an illness or emergency?", "answer": "GeoBlue Worldwide has collaborated with our on-the-ground partners to identify private healthcare providers (doctors, clinics, hospitals) within each community. These providers have been chosen for their knowledge of student health issues and safe provision of care with past interns. Should any health issues arise, students should immediately notify their FSD/SEC/Amizade site team, who will ensure that they receive the proper medical attention. In-country emergency contact information will be shared with students before they go abroad; students can then share this contact information with their families. Learn more about Northwestern’s policies on illness and emergency management here." }, { "question": "Do students need any vaccinations or medications?", "answer": "Yes. As a GESI participant, it is your full responsibility to identify and take all necessary health precautions prior to, during, and following the program. Please start your health preparations early, as some vaccinations must be taken as far as eight weeks or more before departure. Providing detailed medical advice is beyond the expertise of GESI so it is very important to consult the resources we provide on our Admitted Students pages. Contact your primary care physician to see if they are able to provide all necessary vaccinations before you schedule an appointment. If not, you should visit a travel clinic. You can find a list of travel clinics in the Chicago area here and other national facilities here. To maximize the effectiveness of your appointment, take a copy of your program information as well as a printout of the CDC requirements for your program location." }, { "question": "How quickly can families get in contact with GESI participants?", "answer": "Depending on the site, GESI participants will either receive a cell phone upon arriving in-country or have the option to purchase a low-cost phone or sim card which can be used in their US cell phone. These phones can be called from the US or can be loaded with money to call the US, at the students’ cost. If for some reason families cannot get in touch with a GESI participant, they can call GESI staff at Northwestern University during office hours at 847.491.5932. For after hours emergencies please call Northwestern University Police at 847.491.3456. Students experiment with their interests: Short-term field-based study abroad programs like GESI allow students to apply specific interests they may not be able to explore at their home university. Students hone their language skills: Every GESI student will interact with non-English-speaking communities, giving them a unique opportunity to practice languages they have previously studied, or acquire a new language. In some countries, students will be surprised to speak English a new way, with idioms and intonation and style appropriate to diverse contexts. Students gain transferable skills: Living and working in another culture is full of new situations and unexpected challenges. By navigating the streets of India, Ugandan business culture, or Bolivian family structures, students gain personal and professional skills that can be used throughout their lives. Students make lasting connections: In addition to GESI staff members, Northwestern professors, and fellow GESI participants, students form enriching relationships with home-stay families, FSD/SEC site team members, NGO staff, and the communities in which they work. GESI is a true immersion experience, expanding students’ networks literally oceans away. Adapted from Benefits of Study Abroad." }, { "question": "Why is it so important?", "answer": "Studies have shown that service learning has a positive effect on:s that are difficult to acquire as an undergraduate but greatly valued by employers–skills such as project management, team-work experience, leadership, budgeting, and impact evaluation." }, { "question": "What is “immersion”?", "answer": "“Global engagement” is the act of actively participating in a cross-cultural experience. It implies crossing physical, social, and ideological borders not merely to observe, but to meet community members, wrestle with the complexities of another society, and ultimately forge international partnerships. “Cultural immersion” involves experiencing every aspect of another culture with the goal of becoming integrated into the cultural fabric. In GESI, this means students live in homestays, work with partner organizations, and adapt to the host lifestyle." } ]

[ { "question": "What kind of event can be recorded?", "answer": "These are events that are part of an undergraduate or postgraduate taught program that have been assigned to a specific portico taught module e.g. ECON1001. These can be scheduled via the Lecturecast scheduler tool and will automatically appear in the correct section within Lecturecast. These are events that are part of an undergraduate of postgraduate taught program but are not associated with a particular module code e.g a shared/common introductory lecture taught across multiple modules. These events can be scheduled for recording, as long as they have been booked in a Lecturecast equipped space via room bookings, using the Lecturecast scheduler tool. They will not by default be associated with any particular section in Lecturecast but will be stored in the personal library of the person who made the booking. From this location they may be published into any existing Lecturecast sections (i.e. modular section) on which the person making the booking is an instructor. NOTE: Special events are supported by Digital Media and cannot be scheduled via the Lecturecast system. These are events that are NOT part of undergraduate or postgraduate taught programs, e.g. an inaugural lectures, conferences, outreach events, public events, CPD, etc. If you need to record a special event, contact Digital Media at video@ucl.ac.uk who provide filming and editing services." }, { "question": "Why should I record my lectures?", "answer": "Lecture recordings provide lecturers with the ability to review the structure and delivery of their lectures for professional development. Lecture recordings also provide lecturers with the ability to change the balance of activities during contact times, e.g. deliver informational elements via a recording and follow up with discussion sessions. Lecture recordings provide students with the ability to revisit complex material, unusual or subject specific terminology (especially useful for overseas students) and view lectures missed due to illness or unforeseen circumstances." }, { "question": "How does Lecturecast benefit lecturers?", "answer": "Giving students the ability to review lecture content should reduce the number of basic questions that lecturers have to answer repeatedly. Lecturecast affords the opportunity to 'flip' lecture content - delivering the informational content via pre-recorded material and making more productive use of contact time. The system logs viewing statistics, giving lecturers and course designers a good idea of how much a recording has been viewed and by whom." }, { "question": "How does Lecturecast benefit students?", "answer": "The ability to revisit complex material to ensure understanding. The opportunity to clarify the use of unusual terminology or subject jargon (this can be especially useful for overseas students). The option to view lectures missed due to illness or unforeseen circumstances. The ability to bookmark specific parts of recordings as an aid to revision. In every recent UCL survey of students and their use of technology, more use of Lecturecast has been the most frequent request." }, { "question": "Do I have to Lecturecast my lectures?", "answer": "At the current time UCL does not have an opt-out policy for Lecturecast. Use of the system is purely opt-in at the moment, so its use is up to the individual/department to decide. There are plans to move towards opt-out in coming years, but any such change will be agreed by Educational Committee first, with procedures and tools to facilitate this. Ground work is needed before this, specifically to clarify legal and policy aspects, and a Working Group has been set up under the Office of Vice Provost for Education to review and implement required policies to support an opt out Lecturecast solution." }, { "question": "Can I Live Steam using Lecturecast?", "answer": "At the current time the UCL Lecturecast service does not support Live Streaming as part of the service offering. Only lecture capture and associated engagment tools are available as part of the service." }, { "question": "How do I make a booking for a Lecturecast recording?", "answer": "Log in to the Lecturecast Scheduler to create or edit a recording schedule. Schedules may only be amended or deleted by the staff member who created the original schedule. Find instructions on how to access the Lecturecast Scheduler and how to schedule a recording in the Lecturecast Scheduler training guides. Recordings for centrally timetabled teaching events will automatically appear in the associated Lecturecast class within a given module's section. I cannot find my event on the Lecturecast scheduler." }, { "question": "What should I do?", "answer": "Only events timetabled via CMIS can be scheduled for recording. Check to make sure that your lecture is timetabled via CMIS. Ensure the lecture is taking place in a Lecturecast enabled teaching space. Try searching for any other module codes assigned to your lecture e.g. ECON1001 and ECON1001A as only one code will feed into the scheduler for each event. You could also try doing a search using the ‘Location’ field. Event information is brought into the scheduler on a 3 month rolling basis. Your event will need to occur within the next 3 months to be visible in the Lecturecast Scheduler." }, { "question": "Is there a limit on recording duration?", "answer": "The maximum duration of a single recording is 4 hours. Events booked in CMIS longer than 4 hours will appear as non-bookable in the Lecturecast scheduler. Events longer than 4 hours should be broken down to chunks of less than 4 hours in CMIS to make them bookable via the Lecturecast scheduler. Currently the scheduler advises users to contact the Lecturecast team for scheduling recordings more than 4 hours in length, the team will assist in making these bookings during the first term of the 2017/18 session but subsequently will expect users to make the necessary adjustments in their CMIS bookings allowing them to schedule their own recordings." }, { "question": "What if my room booking is cancelled?", "answer": "When a CMIS room booking is cancelled the corresponding Lecturecast schedule is also cancelled. A notification will be sent to the event owner in CMIS advising them of this. By default, Lecturecast captures all material sent to the room's projector from any connected device (e.g PowerPoint slides from an attached laptop, handwritten notes or objects held under a document cameras). Audio is captured via a clip-on radio microphone and video of the presentation area (i.e the lecturer or presenter) is captured via a fixed position camera." }, { "question": "Do I have to appear in my recorded lectures?", "answer": "No. Video of the presenter may be omitted from the recording by un-ticking the 'Capture presenter' option available in the online scheduler (when 'Unscheduled events' view is used). Prior to recordings commencing, schedules can also be edited (only be their creator) to change the 'Capture presenter' option. Once a recording has been made the presenter component can only be removed by downloading the slides & audio version of the recording and re-uploading this into the class containing the original video. It's important to note that if the original video has been available to students, overwriting it will cause the loss of student bookmarks and/or Q&A synchronisation with the original media." }, { "question": "Do I have to deliver my lecture differently?", "answer": "Questions from the floor are often faint in the recording as it is usually only the presenter who has a microphone. Repeating or paraphrasing the question asked before answering will ensure that both the question and response are clear in the final recording. It is best to use the computer cursor/mouse to highlight particular areas of the slide or presentation when they are being referred to. Devices like laser or physical pointers will not be captured. The cameras used by Lecturecast will not effectively record materials being written on white boards. If you need to draw, write or mark-up materials during your presentation it is best to use the in-theatre document camera." }, { "question": "What do I need to consider if I want to record a guest speaker?", "answer": "In the case of external or guest speakers, they should be asked to sign the standard Lecturer consent form. The form is used to gather permission to record their lecture and permission to re-use their copyright material. The completed \"Lecturer consent forms\" should be retained by the UCL department which has organised the event as proof that we have the relevant permissions. A consent form is available from the main UCL library's Lecturecast copyright page." }, { "question": "What do I need to be aware of regarding copyright?", "answer": "Guidance on this can be found on the Library's copyright pages for lectures, podcasts etc." }, { "question": "How is a Moodle course linked to its associated Lecturecast section?", "answer": "Moodle courses act as gateways to associated Lecturecast content and therefore the course link to Lecturecast must be set up before course staff and students can access the Lecturecast content." }, { "question": "How do I get instructor access to my Lecturecast section(s)?", "answer": "Find out how to link a Lecturecast section on a Moodle course in the Linking Moodle to Lecturecast training guides." }, { "question": "Can my recording be edited?", "answer": "Yes, basic editing functionality allows sections to be removed from a video. Detailed instructions can be found within the Lecturecast ALP - Edit a capture training guide." }, { "question": "Can the presenter be removed from a recording?", "answer": "This is possible if student content such as Q&A, notes etc. has not already been associated with the class content. Find out how to remove the presenter from a recording in the training guide." }, { "question": "Do I have to edit my recording before publishing?", "answer": "In most cases editing Lecturecast recordings is not strictly necessary and the choice to edit or not is the personal preference of the presenter (or decided by departmental policy). It is important however, where for example, personal conversations between event attendees may have been inadvertantly recorded, that these be removed. When scheduling recordings there is an option to make recordings automatically available to students or to hold them back for review before making them available. Instructors can make any recording available or unavailable at any time and if material does need to be removed it's recommended that recordings are made unavailable until any edits have been completed and processed." }, { "question": "Can I upload videos to my Lecturecast course page?", "answer": "Uploads from personal capture software (note that pre 2017 upgrade versions of personal capture software will need to be upgraded). Videos created using the Lecturecast mobile apps. Videos can be uploaded directly to a class by logging in to a Lecturecast section and using the upload facility. Note that each class can contain only one video but instructors can create any number of classes to house their content. Find out how to upload content to your section in the Add Content to a Class training guide. By default, downloads (MP4 files of screen presentation and audio) are disabled but may be enabled at section level by anyone with instructor access to the section. Note that before enabling or disabling content download, instructors should consult their colleagues teaching on the same module and check whether or not there is a departmental policy regarding the availability of downloadable recordings." }, { "question": "How long will recordings be kept?", "answer": "Retention policy is currently under review, once agreed with Echo360 this FAQ will be updated." }, { "question": "You can reuse recordings from previous academic years by publishing them to current Lecturecast sections..\nDo I need to change my browser settings to view a Lecurecast recording?", "answer": "Echo360 is a web-based application that uses a browser to view content and as such has certain browser requirements. Beyond ensuring you're using a supported browser, there are also some browser configuration settings you may need to check or change to successfully use Echo360 (especially if using Safari on iOS/MacOS)." } ]

Where can I find the call documents (i.e." }, { "question": "specifying the scope of the call and presenting the application procedure and form?", "answer": "All call information, documents and guidelines are available at /en/. The on-line system for submission of applications is available at: osf.opi.org.pl. 3." }, { "question": "What is meant by 'Project Promoter' and 'Principal Investigator'?", "answer": "Project Promoter (PP) – an entity formally responsible for submitting the proposal under the Polish-Norwegian Research Programme; PP may only be a Polish entity eligible according to the call. The role of PP is not to “lead”, but to be formally responsible and to give administrative support. Principal Investigator (PI) – a researcher having a scientific lead of a project submitted under the Polish-Norwegian Research Programme; PI may only be from one of the Polish entities. 4." }, { "question": "What types of entities are eligible for funding?", "answer": "Research organisations as defined in the Community Framework for State Aid for Research and Development and Innovation (2006/C 323/01) are sole eligible entities under the Programme. Research organisation means an entity, such as university or research institute, irrespective of its legal status (organised under public or private law) or way of financing, whose primary goal is to conduct fundamental research, industrial research or experimental development and to disseminate their results by way of teaching, publication or technology transfer; all profits are reinvested in these activities, the dissemination of their results or teaching; undertakings that can exert influence upon such an entity, in the quality of, for example, shareholders or members, shall enjoy no preferential access to the research capacities of such an entity or to the research results generated by it. Please consult the above mentioned legal act to check your organisation’s eligibility status. You can also consult the relevant staff at the NCBR (for Polish entities) and at the RCN (for Norwegian entities). 5." }, { "question": "Can an SME be a partner in the project?", "answer": "An SME cannot be an eligible partner in the project if it does not comply with the definition of research organization. However, an SME can participate in the project as a project partner on its own funding. 7." }, { "question": "How ethical issues are dealt with in the Programme?", "answer": "If the project affects ethical issues you must indicate it in the application form and provide a brief description of an ethical issue involved and how it will be dealt with appropriately. You have to specify any authorisation or permission you already have for the proposed work. On this basis, a proper ethical screening is possible if the proposal is considered for possible funding. If any authorisation or permission concerning ethical issues is required in order to carry out the project, it has to be delivered to the Programme Operator before the contract signature (not in the application form). 9." }, { "question": "Is there any priority order/preference of topics concerning thematic area in the CCS Call?", "answer": "No, there is no such preference. Projects will be evaluated primarily on the basis of their scientific quality/excellence and innovativeness. 10." }, { "question": "How to interpret the scope of the call ?", "answer": "The scope is defined by the list of thematic subareas in the call (i.e. Storage pilots, New innovative solutions for CO2 capture, etc.) as formulated in the CCS Call text. The list of specific topics serves to illustrate the possible, but not exclusive project themes. 11." }, { "question": "Is there a regional parity foreseen in the Programme?", "answer": "No, there is not. All applications submitted under the Polish-Norwegian Research Programme are treated equally irrespective of their origin. There is no any regional preference in the Programme. 12." }, { "question": "Do other users can edit/see my application in the OSF system?", "answer": "Yes, it is possible to add Supporting Editors or Readers to each application. You can add them by clicking ‘Supporting Editors’ or ‘Readers of the Applications’ in the left menu of your application. 16." }, { "question": "How will the experts assessing the proposals be selected?", "answer": "The assessment will be carried out by international experts. Experts will be selected from the database of experts established by the Programme Operator. The Programme Operator also has access to the European Commission’s database of experts and will use experts from there. 17." }, { "question": "How will the potential of the research consortium be evaluated?", "answer": "The experts will be assessing the research capacity (human resources, research infrastructure) foreseen for the project implementation of all the project partners comprising the consortium as well as experience in implementing international projects.

Proposal will not be formally checked before that date. 19." }, { "question": "How is the final ranking decided upon?", "answer": "The final ranking list is drawn by the Programme Committee which takes into consideration the overall quality of the evaluated proposals, indicative budget of the programme area and number of proposals to be funded. The PC may decide to change the final score of the proposal received in the consensus report. In such a case the PC awards points for each of the evaluation criteria. The points awarded by the Committee for each evaluation criterion cannot exceed the highest and the lowest score given for that criterion in the individual reviews of the proposal. The score awarded by the PC is final and is taken into account while deciding upon the final ranking list. The Programme recommends the proposals for funding to the Programme Operator. For more explanations see p. 8 of the Peer Revive Guidelines." }, { "question": "20. Who signs the grant agreement on the consortium’s side?", "answer": "The grant agreement is signed by a person having legal powers to represent the institution (the Project Promoter). Usually it is a rector, vice-rector or director of a research institute. 21." }, { "question": "What is a recommended duration of the project?", "answer": "The project should last no longer than 36 months.

There is no formal restriction on the minimum duration of the project. 22." }, { "question": "How is the working time recorded in the project?", "answer": "The Programme Operator expects project staff to use timesheets so that their actual time is recorded against a project to form the basis of the costs charged. If a person is contracted to work 100% of their time on a single project (whether they are working full-time or part-time), timesheets are not necessary as their costs can only be charged to that activity (more explanations in p. 4.6.1 of the Guide for Applicants). 23." }, { "question": "Is it necessary to establish a separate bank account for the project cash flow?", "answer": "A separate account or subaccount is mandatory in case of the Project Promoter. We also recommend (although it is not mandatory) that the project partners have separate accounts for the project cash flows. Account service charge is eligible cost of the project. 24." }, { "question": "Will it be possible to modify the project schedule/project budget?", "answer": "Certain budgetary flexibility is given in order to allow for appropriate project management (see p. 4.5 of the Guide for Applicants). Also, certain modifications in the project schedule are possible, for example shifting of certain work packages to other periods/dates than originally planned. Normally such changes are included in an annex to the grant agreement signed by the signing parties. Also during negotiations, after a fund decision is issued and before a grant agreement is signed it is possible to make changes in the project schedule/budget. All changes have to be accepted by the Program Operator. 25." }, { "question": "What is the maximum level of funding for a Norwegian partner under the Programme?", "answer": "It is expected that the eligible costs claimed by the Norwegian entities participating in the project shall normally not exceed 40% of the total eligible costs of the project. 28." }, { "question": "How many entities can the partnership consist of?", "answer": "There are no formal, upper limits with respect to the number of partners. Proposals have to be submitted by consortia comprising at least one Polish and one Norwegian entity. 29." }, { "question": "Is it possible to transfer tranches of advance payments directly from the PO to the project partner/s?", "answer": "The Programme Operator does not transfer advance payments to the partner/partners. The issue of transfer of advance payments by the Project Promoter to the partner/s should be regulated in the Partnership Agreement. 30." }, { "question": "Will a template of the partnership agreement be available or is it a responsibility of the Project Promoter to provide the template?", "answer": "Yes, the template of the partnership agreement is available on the Programme Operator’s website. The partnership agreement should also contain provisions on intellectual property rights, in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1906/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006. 31." }, { "question": "Can a project partner be an international organization registered in Norway?", "answer": "All project partners have to meet the criteria of research organization as defined in the Community Framework for State Aid for Research and Development and Innovation (2006/C323/01). 32." }, { "question": "How to calculate the share of each partner in the project grant?", "answer": "The method of calculation of the distribution of funding between Polish and Norwegian partners does not exclude any categories of eligible cost (e. g. administrative overheads).The only condition is that eligible costs claimed by the Norwegian entities participating in the project shall not exceed 40% of the total eligible costs of the project (Programme agreement Annex II p. 1.3). 34." }, { "question": "Can each partner calculate indirect cost by a different method?", "answer": "Consortium partners decide on the distribution of funding together (e. g. percentage share, not more than 40% for the Norwegian partner(s)), then each partner decides on a method of indirect cost calculation. Methods don’t have to be the same. 35." }, { "question": "What is the minimum and maximum grant amount in the Core 12 Call?", "answer": "The minimum project financing amount is EUR 150 000 and the maximum EUR 10 000 000. Although, the call opens a possibility for a 10 Mio grant, the proponents who decide to apply for such a grant are strongly advised to take into consideration existing time restrictions vis a vis project’s feasibility. Grants from the Programme may be up to 100% of total eligible project costs. The remaining costs of the project shall be provided or obtained by the Project Promoter and the project partners, according to their respective shares of the project budget. 36." }, { "question": "What are the project’s eligibility dates?", "answer": "The first and final dates of eligibility of a project will be set out in the grant agreement signed between the Project Promoter and the Programme Operator. The project may start before the partnership agreement and the grant agreement are signed. Taking into consideration the final date of eligibility of expenditures in the Programme ( 30 April 2017), the Programme Operator recommends that the projects start as soon as possible after issuing funding decisions. 37." }, { "question": "Is VAT an eligible cost?", "answer": "Basically, VAT is listed in the ineligible cost catalogue, if it is recoverable (it means in the case an entity can reclaim it from the national tax authorities in conformity with the national indirect tax regulation). If is not the case, VAT is eligible. 38." }, { "question": "Is it necessary to submit a separate budget sheet by the Project Promoter and the project partner/s?", "answer": "The budget attachment is broken down into costs categories per partner and it concerns the project as a whole (WPs undertaken by both the Project Promoter and the partner/s) and the total amount of foreseen/requested eligible costs. Additionally, the division of costs between the Project Promoter and the project partner/s will have to be set out in the Partnership Agreement. 39." }, { "question": "What does term ‘indirect costs’ mean?", "answer": "Indirect costs are all eligible costs that cannot be clearly identified by the Project Promoter and/or the partner/s of the project as being directly attributed to the project, but which can be identified and justified by its accounting system as being incurred in direct relationship with the eligible costs attributed to the project. They may not include any eligible direct costs. 40." }, { "question": "How are the indirect costs calculated under the Programme?", "answer": "(a) Project Promoters and/or project partners who can document that they have had their legal and financial data, including their Indirect Cost Model (ICM), validated in the Unique Registration Facility (URF) of the European Framework Programme for research, and have received a Participant Identification Code (PIC), shall apply the same indirect cost model. (iii) Project Promoters and project partners that are non-profit public bodies, secondary and higher education establishments, research organisations and SMEs, which, due to the lack of analytical accounting, are unable to identify with certainty their real indirect costs for the project, may opt for a flat rate of 60% of their total direct eligible costs, excluding direct eligible costs for subcontracting and the costs of resources made available by third parties which are not used on the premises of the Project Promoter. The method of calculating indirect costs and their maximum amount shall be determined in the grant agreement. The method of calculation of indirect costs of a project Partner shall be stipulated in the partnership agreement concluded between the Project Promoter and the project partner/s. Each entity may choose different method of calculation. 41." }, { "question": "Is it possible to get the funding for preparatory costs of the project and if so, what kind of costs fall into this category?", "answer": "Yes, it is possible. These are the costs related to the search for partners prior to or during the preparation of a project application, the development of such partnerships and preparation of a project proposal. These costs will be reimbursed as ‘lump sums’ of EUR 5,000 or EUR 2,500. For more details see chapter 4 of the ‘Guide for Applicants – Core 2012 Call’. 42." }, { "question": "Will the Euro to PLN exchange rate from the day of the call launch (that is 13 September 2013) be used throughout the whole project implementation phase?", "answer": "Yes, the PO will use the above mentioned exchange rate for costs settlement throughout the whole Programme. Transfers between partners can be done using actual exchange rate. 43." }, { "question": "How shall expenditures within the Programme be documented?", "answer": "Expenditures are considered to have been incurred when the cost has been invoiced, paid, and the subject matter delivered (in case of goods) or performed (in a case of services) and received. The documentation demonstrating incurred expenditures, demonstrating and justifying the correct implementation of the project includes copies of financial documents, e.g. invoices (or other accounting documents of equivalent probative value); debit/account notes with lists of expenditures incurred by project partner; payment confirmations; agreements with contractors; acknowledgement of receipts; payrolls; received works (if applicable – e.g. promotional and informational materials). Accounting documents (invoices etc.) shall be stored in the seat of the Project Promoter and project partner/s and will be checked during the inspections at the projects site or on request in case of need of explanation (i.e. when verifying the annual reports, or at any time if deemed necessary by the Programme Operator). 44. In accordance with the guidelines of the Program, the costs shall be compliant with the public procurement law to be considered eligible." }, { "question": "Should a Norwegian partner apply the Polish regulations on public procurement?", "answer": "For orders over EUR 14 000, the full provisions of the act on public procurement law shall apply; however, for orders below this amount, the Project Promoter and the Polish project partners shall apply the Guidelines of the Minister of Regional Development for the award of contracts under the EOG Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 and Norwegian Financial Mechanism, to which the Act of 29 January 2004 on the Public Procurement Law does not apply. A Norwegian partner shall proceed in accordance with the national (Norwegian) legislation, but on request of the PO or any other supervisory/auditory body it should be able to demonstrate that expenditure was justified and the principle of competition and transparency was not infringed. 45." }, { "question": "Is it an eligible cost?", "answer": "Projects where the grant amount exceeds the total value of EUR 375 000 are subject to compulsory audit of an independent, certified auditor, certifying compliance costs on Regulation, the national law and accounting practices specific to the country of Promoter Project / Project Partner. Audit of the project must commence no later than when 50% of planned costs associated to the project has been incurred, and finish before the submission of the final report of the project to the PO. If it comes to external audit it is an eligible cost and it has to be included in ‘Other costs’ category.

[ { "question": "Is subcontracting allowed for clinical validation in PHC 12?", "answer": "Currently we are interested in the Health topic of the SME Instrument. The question we have is that according to the Proposal Template for Phase 2 the core activities of the project cannot be subcontracted." }, { "question": "Will we have to hire our own doctors and recruit patients?", "answer": "We don't have the intention of becoming a CRO, we just want to commercially exploit our devices. The rules on subcontracting for SME Instrument Ph2 actions are similar to those of the General MGA (see Article 13 General MGA). However, subcontracting is not restricted to a limited part of the action. This means that the participating SMEs can subcontract the services of a CRO and/or a hospital without a problem." } ]

[ { "question": "Why are you selling pork to strangers?", "answer": "A: Good question! We are a small family farm in Ferndale, Washington, raising pigs, beef and children. We have three children, including two teenaged boys, and we homeschool, so raising animals makes sense. The boys started raising pork at a 4-H project, and I started eating pork because it's delicious, and it's just sort of snowballed from there. It's hard to find good pork at the store, so we're passing the goodness on to others." }, { "question": "Why on earth would I spend this much on meat?", "answer": "A: This meat isn't expensive. It's the real cost of meat. What you're getting in the store is meat that's discounted, cut-rate meat raised by people who are cutting corners to save money. Most large pork factories make $5 profit PER PIG. That means that to make $500, they have to raise 100 pigs. Each animal is expendable, there's no room for error, and no way to even think about the welfare of the animal. Most pork is confined in cages on concrete floors, fed garbage (sometimes literally,) given antibiotics and hormones to keep them healthy in terrible conditions, and the animals are not cared for. Our pigs are tended, not manufactured. They live outside, root in the ground, and live like pigs. The meat tastes like nothing you've ever gotten from a store, because it's nothing like anything you've bought at a store. A: Bacon flies out the door. If you want some, speak up! We'll have some for sale as soon as it's cured." }, { "question": "Q: What's your favorite pork recipe?", "answer": "A: I'm glad you asked! We do a lot of stir-fry, and we love pork shoulder in the crockpot with barbecue sauce. Probably my favorite is Asian pork sliders, though. Those are TASTY. Just add soy sauce, ginger and garlic to ground pork, and fry up small burgers. Serve with a good cabbage slaw. Yum. A: Not as of yet. The prices are pretty ridiculous for an 80-pound-box shipped overnight. But people keep asking, so if we come up with a reasonable way to do it (maybe dry ice and a couple of days,) we'll start shipping. A: I can deliver to Bellingham one day a week, or you can come to our farm and check out our setup! We'll figure out details when you place your order. Q: Tell me about your pigs. A: A farmer friend who lives three houses down breeds heritage pigs. He's been doing it for thirty years and is an expert in what kind of pigs thrives in our cool, wet climate. These are are mix of Bluebutt, Hampshire and Duroc, all bred for taste and amazing meat, not so that they'll survive in an overcrowded factory. We get them when they're babies, and raise them on grass, grain, and barley. They eat pasture from our farm, supplemented by pig feed from a local grower, which has no GMOs or chemicals in it. We also get barley from a local brewer after they're done making beer with it. The pigs think it's the tastiest thing ever!" } ]

[ { "question": "What federal statute protects me from religious discrimination?", "answer": "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects individuals against employment discrimination on the bases of their religion. It is unlawful to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her religion in regard to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. There are a number of state and local statutes that provide similar protection, and in the case of the New York City anti-discrimination laws, even greater protection." }, { "question": "What types of religious discrimination actions are covered by Title VII?", "answer": "Discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment because of his/her religion in regard to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. It is also unlawful to retaliate against an individual for opposing employment practices that discriminate based on religion, or for filing a discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or litigation under Title VII." }, { "question": "Can my employer force me to participate in religious activities?", "answer": "Employees cannot be forced to participate - or not participate - in a religious activity as a condition of employment." }, { "question": "Is my employer required to accommodate my religious beliefs or practices?", "answer": "Yes. Employers must reasonably accommodate employees' sincerely held religious beliefs or practices unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer. A reasonable religious accommodation is any adjustment to the work environment that will allow the employee to practice his religion. Flexible scheduling, voluntary substitutions or swaps, job reassignments and lateral transfers and modifying workplace practices, policies and/or procedures are examples of how an employer might accommodate an employee's religious beliefs. An employer is not required to accommodate an employee's religious beliefs and practices if doing so would impose an undue hardship on the employer’s legitimate business interests. An employer can show undue hardship if accommodating an employee's religious practices requires more than ordinary administrative costs, diminishes efficiency in other jobs, infringes on other employees' job rights or benefits, impairs workplace safety, causes co-workers to carry the accommodated employee's share of potentially hazardous or burdensome work, or if the proposed accommodation conflicts with another law or regulation. Maybe. Employers must permit employees to engage in religious expression if employees are permitted to engage in other personal expression at work, unless the religious expression would impose an undue hardship on the employer. Therefore, an employer may not place more restrictions on religious expression than on other forms of expression that have a comparable effect on workplace efficiency." }, { "question": "What must my employer do to prevent harassment regarding religious beliefs?", "answer": "Employers must take steps to prevent religious harassment of their employees. An employer can reduce the chance that employees will engage unlawful religious harassment by implementing an anti-harassment policy and having an effective procedure for reporting, investigating and correcting harassing conduct." }, { "question": "What relief can a court award me if I prove a claim of religious discrimination?", "answer": "Under Title VII, you may be entitled to: back-pay and benefits with interest, front-pay and benefits, punitive damages to punish your employer’s willful violation of Title VII, and compensatory damages for willful violations of Title VII to compensate you for mental anguish or other physical injuries suffered as a proximate cause of the employer’s conduct (punitive and compensatory damage awards are capped at a statutory amount, and is determined by the number of people employed by your employer). Reimbursement of your attorneys’ fees and expenses in bringing the Complaint are also available. New York City anti-discrimination laws do not impose a cap on punitive damages." } ]

[ { "question": "Will I need to provide details of my health for a company private medical insurance scheme?", "answer": "You can also choose the level of cover you would like to be insured for. You can choose from in-patient, limited out-patient, full out-patient, extra hospital lists, psychiatric cover, therapies and more…. Private Medical Insurance generally does not cover ‘chronic’ conditions (conditions which are incurable, for example asthma, HIV and/or AIDS). Pre-existing conditions are not covered under individual policies or new (previously uninsured) company schemes. However, pre-existing conditions within the last, usually, five years may be covered if you have been advice-free, symptom-free, treatment-free and medication free for (usually) two consecutive years after the commencement date of your policy under the ‘moratorium’ underwriting. Conditions that are considered cured by your GP or specialist over (usually) five years before the commencment date of the policy may immediately be covered if they re-occur. Pre-existing conditions are any disease, illness or injury for which you have received medication, advice or treatment; or you have experienced symptoms; whether the condition has been diagnosed or not (usually) in the 5 years before the start of your cover." }, { "question": "Will I need to provide details of my health for an individual scheme?", "answer": "Medical History Declaration (otherwise known as full medical underwriting) You are normally asked to fill in a form, giving details of your medical history. If necessary, the insurer may write to your doctor for more information. It is essential that you give all the information you are asked for. If you don’t, you may find that your insurer may refuse to pay any claim that you make in the future, or may cancel your policy. If you are not sure whether or not to mention something, it is best to do so. If you have a medical condition, which is likely to come back, the insurer will issue a policy, but that condition (and any related to it) may not be covered, either indefinitely, or for a set period of time (usually two years). Moratorium This is when you are asked to fill in a form, but you are not asked to give details of your medical history. Instead, the insurer does not cover any medical condition which existed in the last (usually) five years. These conditions may automatically become eligible for cover, but only when you do not have symptoms, or receive treatment, medication, tests and advice (from your GP or a specialist) for that condition for a continuous period of (usually) two years, after your policy has started. You were not aware of any symptoms; benefit would be available even if it was proved that the condition existed before your policy began." }, { "question": "Would you be covered if a visit to your doctor after the start of the plan revealed that surgery for that condition was necessary?", "answer": "Because you were aware of the condition during the 5-year period before the start of the plan, even though you weren’t quite sure what it was, you would be excluded from cover for at least the first 2 years of the plan. There are some conditions, for example chronic conditions, that will probably never be eligible for this delayed cover because you will always need regular or occasional treatment, medication, tests or advice for them. You should not delay getting medical advice or treatment, simply to get cover. If your insurer offers a ‘moratorium’, they will give you printed information explaining how their particular moratorium works. You may also want to ask the insurer, or us, to explain further how it works." }, { "question": "Will I need to provide details of my health for a company scheme?", "answer": "Any medical condition likely to result in an in-patient stay. Yes, if companies are currently insured and would like to switch to another insurer to reduce their premiums or improve their level of cover, their pre-existing conditions may also be covered under the new insurer." } ]

[ { "question": "What are the advantages to using an independent agent to purchase insurance?", "answer": "By using an independent agent to purchase insurance, the policyholder receives more than just personal service. Generally, independent agents have a broader range of knowledge and products to customize an insurance policy to meet a customer’s individual coverage needs. By asking the right questions, the independent agent can assess individual property and liability exposures and can offer options and recommendations of coverage based on products from many different companies as opposed to just one company. There are a number of factors to consider when purchasing any product or service, and insurance is no different. Here is a checklist of things you should consider when purchasing automobile insurance. Base your decision on value. This is more than simply the lowest price. The premium you pay should be compared to the claims and policy service, protection and advice you receive. Independent agents, and the companies we represent, deliver excellent value. Purchase the amount of liability coverage that makes sense to you. Ask your agent for recommendations based on your individual exposures." }, { "question": "For example, do you want optional physical damage coverages, or is the market value of your car too low to warrant purchasing them?", "answer": "There are a number of things you can do to lower the cost of your automobile insurance. The easiest thing to do is ask us to get quotes from several companies for you. It is not uncommon to find quotes on automobile insurance that can vary by hundreds of dollars for the same coverage on the same car. When you shop, be careful to make sure each insurer is offering the same coverage. Another way to lower the cost of your automobile insurance is to look for any discounts for which you may qualify. For example, many insurers will offer you a discount if you insure multiple cars under the same policy, or if you have had a driver education class in the last five years. Be sure to ask us about their discount plans. Another easy way to lower the cost of your automobile insurance is to increase the deductible. Simply raising your deductible from $250 to $500 can lower your premium sometimes by as much as five or ten percent. If you own your home, substantial discounts can be earned by placing your home and automobile insurance with the same company. Ask us to quote both lines of your business, and see how much you can save." }, { "question": "What are some practical things I can do to lower my home insurance rates?", "answer": "As with automobile insurance, raising your deductible can result in great savings. For example, increasing your deductible from $500 to $1000 can save you up to $100 a year in premium dollars. Tremendous discounts are earned with some companies when you have a monitored burglar and fire alarm system. Even dead bolt locks and smoke detectors can earn discounts. If a new fire department has been built in your area or your neighborhood has been annexed into city limits, call your agent to review your fire protection class. Lowering your fire protection class can significantly impact you premium." }, { "question": "What are the benefits to working with a financial professional?", "answer": "With the variety of investment choices available today, it is difficult to make a solid financial plan without researching your own needs and determining appropriate products to meet those needs. Unfortunately, our daily lives often prevent us from spending the necessary time to reach our financial goals. Working with a financial professional allows you to get assistance from someone who can pinpoint your needs and do the research for you. Taking a professional approach to meeting your investment needs and goals can save you time and allow you to make solid choices in regard to your financial plan." }, { "question": "What can a financial professional provide?", "answer": "Financial professionals take time to get to know who you are. The most important information they receive is directly from their clients. Understanding your financial situation, goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance enables your financial professional to assist you in creating a strategy that fits both your objectives and budget requirements. Your financial professional is your personal financial instructor. From explaining financial terms to providing illustrations about various financial products, a financial professional’s goal is to assist you in making educated decisions in the implementation of your financial strategy. Explain financial products and how they work. Compare various financial products vehicles and describe the pros and cons of each with regard to your personal financial goals. As your life changes, so does your investment strategy. Your financial professional is here to help you continually, not just when you begin to invest your money. As trends and legislation change, your financial professional can update you on how these changes affect you. Your financial professional is available to address concerns and questions regarding swings in the market." }, { "question": "What information should I expect to provide when working with my financial professional?", "answer": "To assist you in developing a financial strategy that’s right for you, it is important for your financial professional to understand as much about your finances as they can. For your protection, the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) requires your financial professional to ask about your financial situation, financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance in order to assure your choice of investments are suitable for your financial situation." }, { "question": "How often should I meet with my financial professional?", "answer": "You should plan to meet with your financial professional at least once a year to re-evaluate your plan strategy. If you have a major change in your life – an inheritance, a new child, a death, marriage, health concerns – you should meet with your financial professional to make any needed adjustments. Remember, this is your financial strategy and you should know how you are progressing toward your goals." }, { "question": "What is the benefit of tax-deferred growth?", "answer": "With tax-deferred growth, you do not have to pay taxes on your earnings until you withdraw your money. This allows you to keep more of what you earn and increase your savings." }, { "question": "How do I save for my children’s education?", "answer": "One of the biggest concerns for parents is giving their child the best education possible. A solid education, a good job, a secure future – you want nothing less than a future filled with happiness and security for your child. It’s never too early to start planning, and it’s never too late to evaluate your resources. There is a lot of information available on the Internet, through bookstores, and from financial agents in regard to saving for your child’s future. Keep in mind that every family’s situation is different and strategies should be tailored to an individual’s situation. Your goal is to save for your child’s education. You have an idea of how much college is going to cost you. Just as you would save for any other goal, save the same way for college. Estimate what you will need, and figure in what you already have and how much you will need to save per month to get there. Utilize our calculators to assist you in determining how much you need to save. Also see our asset allocation models to see what strategies will help you reach your goal. If you can’t afford right now to save the entire amount necessary, save the most you can. Make a plan to save on a routine basis and make saving a priority. Saving routinely will keep you on track to meet your goal. My mortgage company says I should buy life insurance from them." }, { "question": "What is that about?", "answer": "Most likely your mortgage company is offering something called “mortgage protection life insurance” or “decreasing mortgage protection” or a similar title. This sort of protection is a basic term life insurance policy that usually has a level premium, but the death benefit pays off your mortgage loan at your death. This level premium may or may not reflect the decreasing death benefit. What that means is that you will be paying the same premium each year for a death benefit that is decreasing over time (as your mortgage decreases with payments). This is the case with any sort of “credit life insurance”, insurance taken out in conjunction with an installment loan. There may be better alternatives. You should talk to your insurance professional before purchasing any type of coverage to see what other alternatives are available." }, { "question": "What if I already have life insurance coverage through my employer?", "answer": "That’s great, and it’s wonderful that you are fortunate enough to have an employer that recognizes the value of life insurance coverage for you and your family. Be sure to find out from your employer if this coverage is “portable,” meaning you can take your policy with you when you leave the company or become disabled. Not all policies are portable. When talking to your insurance professional, be sure that he or she knows you have this type of coverage so that can be factored into any determination of your additional needs. Your priority is to provide for your family. This should be your priority when considering life insurance as well. You must have the means to take care of your financial obligations, as well as providing care for your children should your homemaker-spouse die. The opportune time to buy life insurance for your children is when they are young and the rates are low. This enables them to continue the coverage when they are grown with financial obligations of their own. This also protects their “insurability,” should they develop any sort of health problem later in life. There are many types of policies that can be made into “family plans” at a lower cost than separate coverages for each individual. Talk to your insurance professional to determine your needs. It is recommended that a person’s financial professional be contacted for a precise calculation of how much life insurance is needed." }, { "question": "How do I know which is the right type of life insurance?", "answer": "The answer will vary depending on your circumstances, need for the coverage, timing of the purchase and how much you are willing or able to spend. The best way to determine the right policy is to sit down with a qualified insurance professional to review the key points of your particular situation. This can be done through a very short interview (30 minutes or less) to determine your needs." }, { "question": "How do I choose the right IRA?", "answer": "Choosing the right IRA is dependent on several factors: your household income, your current tax rate, the length of time you plan to hold your investments, your estimation of your future investment returns, your estimated tax rate when you withdraw funds, and future tax law revisions. Because every person’s situation is different, there isn’t one simple answer. You need to compare your choices and decide which is best for you. Your financial professional can assist you in reviewing your financial situation. The main difference between a Roth IRA and a Traditional IRA is when you pay taxes. Contributions to a Roth IRA are made from after-tax income. Roth IRA contributions grow tax-free and are not taxed when withdrawn for qualified reasons. These include a first-time home purchase, disability and medical expenses, and any withdrawal taken after age 59½, as long as the account has been open for at least five years. Withdrawals that do not qualify may incur taxes and/or penalties. You may also want to consult a tax professional. Contributions to a Traditional IRA are tax-deductible (subject to certain income limits), and taxes are paid when you withdraw the money. Contributions grow tax-deferred. While the Roth IRA may provide significant benefits for many investors, it should be considered in relation to other retirement savings opportunities. If you are eligible to contribute to an employer’s plan that matches all or part of your contributions, you may find the plan more advantageous than contributing to a Roth IRA. If your company is not matching any of your own contributions, a Roth IRA may provide more flexibility for you. If your income prevents you from deducting your Traditional IRA contributions, you may be eligible for a non-deductible IRA or a Roth IRA. Since contributions are non-deductible for either the non-deductible IRA or the Roth IRA, the difference is in the distribution rules. The Roth IRA may be a better choice because withdrawals will be tax- free at age 59½, and you are not required to begin distributions at age 70½. Withdrawals from a non-deductible IRA are taxed as ordinary income at age 59½, and minimum distributions are required at age 70½. If you’re thinking of converting from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, project your tax rate, income level, and date of retirement. If you’re far enough away from retirement to offset the tax bite of closing your Traditional IRA when converting – and if you expect your tax bracket to be higher upon retirement – the Roth IRA may be a better alternative." }, { "question": "Can I contribute to my retirement plan at work and contribute to an IRA?", "answer": "Anyone who has earned income may contribute to an IRA and also contribute to an IRA for a spouse who does not have earned income. However, not everyone can deduct his or her IRA contribution for his or her taxes each year. Since all Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars, there is no deductibility opportunity for any person. On traditional IRAs, if you are eligible for a company-sponsored retirement plan, even if you do not contribute to it, ability for you and your spouse to deduct your IRA contributions is based on your combined income level. These levels change annually, so consult your tax advisor for the most updated information. Experts estimate that you will need at least 80% of your pre-retirement income to live comfortably in retirement. By the time you are ready to retire, you probably won’t have the expenses you do now, such as a mortgage or a child’s college tuition, but costs such as medical care may claim a sizeable share of your retirement income.

[ { "question": "How do I take Green Barley?", "answer": "We recommend half a teaspoon of green barley every day and gradually increasing to two or more teaspoons over a two week period. This will minimize any detoxification symptoms you may experience when you first introduce your body to this powerful food.

If the vehicle is stopped – Drivers over the age of 18 may use a cellphone or wireless communication device. Emergency or Reasonable Belief of an Emergency – Wireless communication devices and cellphones may be used in an emergency or in the event the driver reasonably believes the circumstances constitute an emergency. In general, the “reasonable belief” exception to the emergency exception means you should not get in trouble if you use your cell phone when you think there is an emergency, but there actually is not.. However, this is going to open the door to all kinds of issues for the courts." }, { "question": "Are there factors to determine an emergency?", "answer": "Drivers 18 years of age and under are prohibited from using their cellular phone or wireless communication device at any point while operating a motor vehicle." }, { "question": "Can I still use my cell phone in my car?", "answer": "Yes, basically, you’re permitted to complete many actions with your cell phone while in your vehicle except for reading, writing and/or sending messages (whether that be a text, email, Facebook message, etc). Using other applications that do not involve holding the device to read, write or send electronic messages." }, { "question": "Do I need to get a hands-free device?", "answer": "The legislative law applying to cell phones does NOT necessarily require you need to get a hands-free device. However a hands-free device is encourage for the safety functions it provides. Hands-free devices, which often come in vehicles these days (or can installed), allow drivers to communicate with their device without using either hands (except when their hands are needed to activate or deactivate apps). Takeaway – Basically, you can use a hands-free device to text, but the phone has to be able to read the text back to you. You’re not allowed to read it. Moreover, you can still look at your phone to figure out where you’re going. To be safe, you should probably use a hands-free application to enter the address. Or enter it before you leave. You are not allowed to use your phone in your hand while in a school zone or when or on school property when school is in session or the reduced speed limit applies. Use of hand-held devices is prohibited in school crossing zones and on public school property during the times when the reduced speed limit applies." }, { "question": "Can an officer pull me over if he suspects I was texting?", "answer": "Yes. If a police officer sees you using your phone and suspects you are using it in violations of the law, he/she can pull you over.

http://growfaq.net/content/79/1423/en/how-do-i-measure-temperature-correctly.html
[ { "question": "GrowFAQ - How do I measure temperature correctly?", "answer": "In order to know you are providing the right thermal environment for you plants through ventilation, oscillating fans etc. you need to understand the physical nature of the 'heat' in grow spaces, how it should be measured, and the mistakes that can easily be made. Although obviously related, these are 2 distinctly separate phenomena and your plants have different tolerances for each. Your standard mercury/alcohol-bulb or digital thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the air (But not radiant heat). This is what is being referred to in the usual growers 'rules of thumb' such as maintaining your grow above 16degC and below 30degC. Most thermometers are only designed to measure air temperature growers often mistakenly place their thermometer in direct light; radiant energy will warm your thermometer and give a higher than actual reading. *Assuming your air is well mixed up by oscillating fans, it doesnt really matter where you locate your thermometer. The best spot is probably about half the way up a wall, with a piece of cardboard over it (To shade it from radiant heat), exposed to the mixed air in the grow room. Radiant temperature is the result of heat transfer bewteen objects at different temperatures without whats inbetween i.e. the air, being effected. In our case the plants are naturally at a lower temperature that the light and reflector so heat is transferred to the plants foliage from the light/refecltor through radiation. This causes the leaves to heat up. The plants can withstand much higher radiant temperatures (around 40-50degC) than they can air temperatures but if this is too high the plants can 'burn'. The plants can withstand much higher radiant temperatures than they can air temperatures, but if this is too high the plants can burn. 'The hand test': Place your hand in a comfortable position for some time at the tips of your plants should be. If your hand feels hot, then the lights are too close, the radiant energy is too intense, and light burn may result. Do this test and raise your HID lights/reflectors periodically to keep light burn to a minimum. Finally, monitor the conditions in your grow regularly as things are changing all the time, and you will soon get to understand the thermal dynamics of your particular grow space so you can get the most from it. [Cannabis loves high light levels/high radiant energy levels, but exceeding their tolerance for light can result in light burn and chlorophyll leaching out of the leaves. 600's & 1000s put out a lot of light, and light burn can easily damage clones and young plants. Light burn damage: initially the leaves look pale green (the edges may turn upwards, mimicking a Mg deficiency), then they turn yellow and finally yellow/brown as the leaves scorch." } ]

For Habitual DWI offenders, drivers who have had three prior DWI convictions within the past seven years, DWI becomes a more severe felony. But more importantly, the Habitual DWI statute now mandates a minimum active jail term of one year -- a sentence that CANNOT be suspended. Offenders must also go through a substance abuse program while in jail or as a condition of parole. The Governor's DWI Initiative takes away from repeat DWI offenders the means to drive while impaired; namely, their cars. Under the new provision, a law enforcement officer can seize a driver's car if the officer charges that person with DWI and that person was driving while his or her license was revoked due to a previous impaired driving offense. The seizure happens at the time of the arrest and NOT after the case has come to trial. If a court convicts the driver of DWI and of committing the offense while driving with a revoked license due to a previous impaired driving offense, the judge will order the vehicle forfeited. The school board can then sell the vehicle and keep the proceeds, sharing the money with any other school systems in the county, or keep the car for its own use. The law does allow vehicle owners to get their cars back if they were not the driver convicted of DWI but only if they satisfy the court that they are an innocent party. It's unlawful for the operator of a commercial motor vehicle to drink and drive. The first offense results in a 10 day disqualification to operate a commercial motor vehicle. The second or subsequent offense revokes the drivers license to operate any vehicle. Zero tolerance for school bus and school activity bus drivers and child care vehicle drivers drivers. It is unlawful for school bus and school activity bus drivers and child care vehicle operators (day care van etc.) to drink and drive. Prior to the enactment of the new statutes, North Carolina had already taken a zero-tolerance stance against drivers who were under the legal drinking age who nevertheless drank or used drugs illegally and then got behind the wheel. People under age 21 simply cannot drive with any alcohol or illegally-used drugs in their systems -- period. Any amount of alcohol will result in an immediate 30 day pretrial revocation. If an underage drinking driver refuses to take such a test, he or she now need only have the smell of alcohol on the breath to be convicted of driving after drinking. Offenders will have their licenses revoked for one year but can get limited driving privileges instated by a judge if the driver was at least 18 years old at the time of the offense and did not have a prior conviction. The Initiative also recognized North Carolina's inability to prosecute and convict someone for driving while impaired by something other than alcohol. Under the new provision, law officers can now order chemical tests for drugs. It also amends the old law to allow for the revocation of a driver's license if he or she refuses to take such a test. All persons charged with DWI who refuse to take an Intoxilyzer test or has results of 0.08 or more, 0.04 if commercial motor vehicle, or under age 21 and the results are above 0.04, will have their license revoked immediately for 30 days. There is a limited driving privilege available after 10 days. Upon conviction of DWI for first offense, the license is revoked for one year. A limited driving privilege may be granted by the judge, but only if the driver did not hurt anyone, did not have a child under sixteen years of age in the car at the time of the drunk driving, and the driver obtains a substance abuse assessment. In order to have a license restored at the end of one year, the driver must go to treatment or school as recommended by the assessment. Upon conviction of a second offense within three years, the revocation is four years. If the driver refuses the test, an immediate 30-day revocation is imposed and an additional one-year revocation is imposed after an opportunity for a hearing. Even if the driver is found not guilty of DWI in court, the one-year revocation is imposed for refusing the test. A limited driving privilege may be granted but only after a six-month revocation period. Before 1999, North Carolina already had some of the strictest drinking and driving statutes ever adopted in the United States. The Governor's DWI Initiative has made those regulations even tougher. In December, 1998, the cars of repeat offenders are being seized and sold with the money given to the local school system. In excess of 8,000 vehicles have been seized since then. Starting in the year 2000 any person who is convicted of DWI and has their drivers license reinstated will not be able to drink and drive. Instead of an alcohol concentration of 0.08, these drivers will lose their license if they have limits of 0.04 or higher, depending upon their driving record and if they were charged and convicted after 1 July 2001. An ignition interlock system where the car will not start if the driver has been drinking will be required for some repeat offenders. The repeat offenders are being targeted and for good reason. In 1998, 469 people died in alcohol-related crashes on North Carolina highways. Another 10,629 were injured. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol arrested nearly 40,000 people for driving while impaired (DWI) in 1998 and more than 43,000 the year before that. The combined DWI arrests for all law enforcement agencies in North Carolina totaled nearly 80,000 for each of those two years, respectively. Though they pale in comparison to the human loss, the financial costs in lawyer fees, court costs, fines, increased insurance rates, and the like to a person convicted of DWI are also great. They range from $6,000 to $8,000 over three years. The bottom line: Never drive after drinking any amount of alcohol! In North Carolina, it is illegal to drive a vehicle while noticeably impaired or with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher. When driving a commercial motor vehicle, the limit is 0.04. The most significant aspects of the state's new DWI law make punishment more severe for the impaired driver in general and the repeat offender in particular. Open and closed containers of all alcoholic beverages are prohibited in all commercial motor vehicles (bus, eighteen-wheeler, dump truck, etc.) except as listed below. An open container of any alcoholic beverage is prohibited in the passenger area of any motor vehicle (commercial or non-commercial) located on the highway or highway right of way - even if the vehicle is parked except as listed below. If the seal on a container of alcoholic beverage has been broken, it is open. \"Passenger area of a motor vehicle\" means the area designed to seat the driver and passengers and any area within the reach of a seated driver or passenger, including the glove compartment. In the case of a station wagon, hatchback or similar vehicle, the area behind the last upright back seat is not considered part of the passenger area. Open containers of spirituous liquor (bourbon, gin, vodka, etc. ), mixed drinks or fortified wine (wine with higher alcohol content, i.e., 17% to 24%, such as sherry or port) in the passenger area of any motor vehicle is always unlawful. Not more than eight liters of either fortified wine or spirituous liquor, or eight liters of the two combined. Citizens should not call the Highway Patrol for roadway conditions." } ]

[ { "question": "Can I leave my \"soft top\" screen room up for the winter?", "answer": "We will always encourage the customer to use the product in the manner in which it was designed. The soft top rooms, both 3 sided and free-standing are designed to go up in the spring and down in the fall (unless otherwise stated!). However... many find ways to take the top off and leave the framing and roof structure in place, securing it against winter winds." }, { "question": "Does the \"hard top\" screen room stay up all year round?", "answer": "Yes! The roof panels are an engineered, load bearing part of the screen room. It is considered a permanent installation. What is a 'local load requirement?\" Whenever you are putting up something that attaches to your home, that is considered permanent by your municipal building department, they will require that it be built to certain specifications. Whatever materials you will be using, they will need to be assembled in keeping with your local building code requirements. As this relates to our product line, we will need to know the \"pound per square foot\" and \"mile per hour\" live load requirements as set out by your local building department." }, { "question": "How do I clean my the soft vinyl top for my screen room?", "answer": "The best solution will be to, twice a year, take the top off and clean it with a soft bristle brush, warm water and a non-abrasive grease cutting soap, like Dawn. Always make sure the top is completely dry before rolling it up for winter storage, to prevent mold and mildew." }, { "question": "How do I clean my clear vinyl | Mylar windows?", "answer": "The best solution will be to, twice a year, take the top off and clean it with a soft bristle brush, warm water and a non-abrasive grease cutting soap, like Dawn. No. We do not install. All of our products are based on the manufacturer putting together a 'kit' format of the product you see on our WEB site. The idea is that it can be assembled by the average homeowner. Should that still be intimidating to you after speaking with us, we would suggest that any local handyman or general contractor would find these kits very easy to work with." }, { "question": "Is there somewhere I can see the product?", "answer": "Since we deal with manufacturers on both sides of the border and ship all over North America, we do not maintain showrooms - not even locally to us. We try to put all the information about the product(s) on the WEB site and we are always available by phone to answer your questions." }, { "question": "Why is it cheaper to pay by cashier's check?", "answer": "Actually it isn't that it is cheaper. Every single retailer in North America, whether you buy a rubber duck or an arbor, has built in the cost of doing business with credit card companies. Each time you use your card the retailer pays the credit card company between 2.5 & 5% of the sale (depending on which CC, your volume and various fees). Everyone would like to think that the retailer simply absorbs that, however if the retailer is working off an 18% gross profit margin, 3% is a 17% reduction in his gross profit. So pricing is adjusted accordingly. Our offer, if you pay by cashier's check, is to put in your pocket what the credit card company would typically take from us." }, { "question": "How do I pay by cashier's check?", "answer": "If you wish to take advantage of the additional 5%, simply provide the full name, 'ship to' address, and contact phone number (for the shipping company - they call to set up a delivery time). We will do up an order confirmation with the details of the sale, your order number, our mailing address and the amount due. It will be sent to you be email promptly. You would then print a copy of the order confirmation and send it along with the cashier's check. When administration receives payment, they will notify you that the order has gone to factory. Otherwise, simply call toll free to pay by credit card." }, { "question": "If I pay by PayPal do I get the 5% off?", "answer": "No. PayPal charges the same type of fees as a credit card company. Whenever anyone says 'free shipping' all they mean is that the pricing that is given includes the shipping cost. So we don't claim free shipping but rather always say that 'delivery is included.' We do this so that you are not surprised by any additional charges or silly fees!" } ]

[ { "question": "What are Single Strand Individual Semi Permanent Eyelash Extensions..?", "answer": "Eyelash Extensions are the greatest way to extend the length and thickness of your eyelashes. They are not your strip lashes or cluster lashes that you may find at your local drugstore. Eyelash extensions are applied on a lash per lash basis (one eyelash extension applied to one natural eyelash). They add more definition to your eyes. They give you more beauty in less time when waking up every morning and getting ready for the day. They are loved for eliminating the need for mascara and decreasing the makeup that ends up underneath your eyes by the end of the day." }, { "question": "How long do eyelash extensions last..?", "answer": "With these two things, they can last a very long time: #1 proper care (see aftercare instructions) and #2 touchup visits. Touch ups are necessary to maintain your eyelash extension because normally, a person's natural eyelash falls out every 60 - 90 days while and then a new one starts to grow in its place. Therefore, it is necessary to get touch-ups to fill in the fallen lashes. About every 2 - 3 weeks is recommended, however this will vary from person to person. Those who have a faster eyelash growth cycle may need a touch-up sooner, while those with a slower eyelash growth cycle may not need a touch-up as often. Your natural lash cycle as well as how you take care of your lashes will affect how long they last." }, { "question": "Am I a Great Candidate..?", "answer": "- Reserve at least 2 full hours of your time to receive a full set of lashes. - Reserve at least one hour for touch up refills. ...this will maximize your appointment time slot. - Do not wear contacts. Wear your regular eye glasses instead. - Do not chew gum or talk on your phone during application." } ]
