[ { "question": "What qualifies as driving while intoxicated?", "answer": "In Missouri, you’re not allowed to operate or be in physical control of a vehicle if you’re intoxicated due to drugs or alcohol. You don’t have to even be driving on the road – even just inching your car up a bit in a parking space to avoid getting towed counts. 2." }, { "question": "What’s considered excessive blood alcohol concentration?", "answer": "A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent qualifies as excessive. For commercial drivers, the threshold is .04 percent while for those under 21, the BAC limit drops to .02 percent. 3." }, { "question": "How do you know if you’re legally intoxicated?", "answer": "Everybody metabolizes alcohol differently, and blood alcohol levels are impacted by everything from your weight to how much you ate that day. As any attorney will tell you, the safest way to prevent DWI is to avoid drinking and driving altogether. 4." }, { "question": "Do you legally have to take a BAC test?", "answer": "If you’re pulled over under suspicion of DWI, you’ll likely be asked to submit to a blood, breath, urine, or saliva test to determine your BAC. Missouri has an implied consent law, meaning that if you refuse to take this test, you may face legal consequences such as a one-year license revocation. 5." }, { "question": "What are the penalties for DWI in Missouri?", "answer": "For a first offense, you’ll face jail time of up to six months and fines of up to $1,000. You will also receive a 30-day license suspension, and a restricted license for 60 days after that.

[ { "question": "How do we get electricity from light?", "answer": "When certain semiconducting materials, such as certain kinds of silicon, are exposed to sunlight, they release small amounts of electricity. This process is known as the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect refers to the emission, or rejection, of electrons in response to light. PV is short for Photovoltaic, pronounced fotovoltaik, which comes from Latin: photo (light) + voltaic. (Producing direct electric current) = producing electricity with light. Solar PV generates electricity from light (photons). The more light that shines on them the more energy they produce. Yes! Solar is a great and secure investment, better than investing your money in savings accounts or IRA’s. If you are looking for an ethical place to put your money then solar PV will benefit you and the planet." }, { "question": "How long will a Photovoltaic (PV) systems last?", "answer": "A PV system that is designed, installed, and maintained well will operate for more than 30 years at 80% of performance. The basic PV module (interconnected, enclosed panel of PV cells) has no moving parts and can last more than 30 years. The best way to ensure and extend the life and effectiveness of your PV system is by having it installed properly. Experience has shown that most problems occur because of poor or sloppy system installation. PV can be used to power your entire home’s electrical systems, including lights, cooling systems, and appliances. PV systems today can be blended easily into both traditional and nontraditional homes. The most common practice is to mount modules onto a south-facing roof, or ground mounting. The installed cost of a PV system will depend upon the size of the system (based on your consumption), the roof type, the type of modules and mounting style. Solar systems are half the cost from years ago and there are federal tax credits available to help you reduce the cost of the system." }, { "question": "How is a solar electric system design, installed and maintained?", "answer": "To avoid system failure, complications or injury, you will want to hire a reputable professional contractor with experience in installing solar systems. PV systems have few moving parts and require little maintenance. The system's components are designed to meet strict dependability and durability standards that withstand the elements. However, they are fairly sophisticated electric systems to installation which require the knowledge and experience of a licensed contractor." }, { "question": "What is North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP)?", "answer": "NABCEP is the most recognized and esteemed certification the solar industry offers. A NABCEP certified contract is to the solar industry as a Master Electrician is to electrical contracting. Certification offers the public a high degree of protection because practitioners must voluntarily meet standards and qualifications and pass exams. NABCEP Certification is the ultimate validation of experience and knowledge in the growing solar industry. Contact us if you have concerns about your system, or you think it’s not generating as it should. We will send someone out to resolve the issue." }, { "question": "Will solar power protect me from power bill increases?", "answer": "The prices of oil and other non-renewable sources are on the increase. This trend will continue, getting more dramatic as shortages of supply increase. The price of your electricity from solar will never increase as the fuel is free and infinite!" }, { "question": "Does solar power reduce pollution?", "answer": "Absolutely. The major contributor to global warming is the emissions of carbon dioxide from power stations. 60 CELL: Refers to the PV cells in a module. 60cell module. 72 CELL: Refers to the PV cells in a module. 72cell module. AC POWER ALTERNATING CURRENT: is the rate of flow of energy past a given point of the circuit. AC POWER: Alternating Current. An electric current that reverses its direction many times a second at regular intervals, typically used in power supplies. CHARGE CONTROLLERS: charge regulator or battery regulator limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries. It prevents overcharging and can protect against overvoltage. DC POWER DIRECT CURRENT: is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. Direct current (DC) is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. DC POWER: Direct Current. is the unidirectional flow or movement of electric charge carriers (which are usually electrons). The intensity of the current can vary with time, but the general direction of movement stays the same always. GRID TIED: also called tied to grid or grid tie system, is a semi-autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid. When insufficient electricity is generated, or the batteries are not fully charged, electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall. INVERTER CHARGERS: is a combination of an inverter, battery charger and transfer switch into one complete system. When AC power is available, the inverter/charger recharges the house batteries. It also allows any surplus AC power to pass through and power downstream AC loads, such as a television set or microwave oven. When AC is disconnected, the unit inverts DC battery power into AC electricity. INVERTER: A solar inverter changes the electrical current from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). KILOWATT HOURS: (symbol kWh, kW·h, or kW h) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 watt-hours, or 3.6 megajoules. The kilowatt-hour is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities. MICRO INVERTER: is a device used in photovoltaics that converts direct current (DC) generated by a single solar module to alternating current (AC). The output from several microinverters is combined and often fed to the electrical grid. MODULE: a packaged, connected assembly of solar cells. SILICONE CELL: Solar cells made of monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), also called single-crystalline silicon (single-crystal-Si), are quite easily recognizable by an external even coloring and uniform look, indicating high-purity silicon. MPPT: or maximum power point tracker is an electronic DC to DC converter that optimizes the match between the solar array (PV panels), and the battery bank or utility grid. To put it simply, they convert a higher voltage DC output from solar panels (and a few wind generators) down to the lower voltage needed to charge batteries. NABCEP: The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) offers entry level knowledge assessment, professional certification, and company accreditation programs to renewable energy professionals throughout North America. NET METERING: Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if a residential customer has a PV system at the residence, it may generate more electricity than the home uses during daylight hours. If the home is net-metered, the electricity meter will run backwards to provide a credit against what electricity is consumed at night or other periods where the home's electricity use exceeds the system's output. NREL: National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Is the United States' primary laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility, and is funded through the United States Department of Energy (DOE). PANEL: refers to a photovoltaic module or to a set of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules electrically connected and mounted on a supporting structure. PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) CELL: The smallest semiconductor element within a PV module to perform the immediate conversion of light into electrical energy (direct current voltage and current). Also called a solar cell. PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR SYSTEM: Commonly refers to a photovoltaic system, photovoltaic power system, PV system or casually solar array, is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and directly convert sunlight into electricity. PV: An abbreviation for Photovoltaic, pronounced fotovoltaik, which comes from Latin: photo (light) + voltaic. (Producing direct electric current) = producing electricity with light. STAND ALONE POWER SYSTEM (SAPS): also known as a remote area power supply (RAPS), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. SUN HOURS: is a climatological indicator, measuring the duration of sunshine in given period for a given location on Earth. It is a general indicator of cloudiness of a location and thus differs from insolation, which measures the total energy delivered by sunlight over a given period. Each PV module has a specific power rating that identifies how much electricity that module will produce at the point the sun is strongest. The ratings from all the modules in a system are totaled to get the full power rating for the system. The cost of your complete system (modules, inverter(s), mounting system, wiring, design, engineering, jurisdictional permitting and installation) is then divided by the total maximum power rating to get the cost per watt. Example: A 2,000-watt system, that has a total cost of $8,000, is considered to cost $4 per watt. Full year’s analysis of your solar exposure from five points of the projected array location using digital imaging from a Solar Pathfinder. Identification of significant shading objects with the time of day and month they will occur. Basic design and price estimate for a recommended system including module size, array configuration, wiring diagram, inverter selection, and balance-of-system component location.

[ { "question": "I do not know what to do?", "answer": "Answer: Generally speaking, when GFR is less than 15, dialysis should be started in case that high toxin concentration in the blood can affect all systems of body to threaten your life. That is why your doctor want to put you on dialysis. But from your said, we can see that you are well-tolerant to those toxins so that you do not have so many symptoms and complications. Therefore, you can put off dialysis for a period of time, during which you should start treatment to lower toxin concentration in blood and protect the residual kidney function. And you should also shrink kidney cysts and stop their growth. This treatment can increase your urine output and bowel movement to remove waste products from body. During the treatment, you will have a lot of sweat, with which wastes can be passed out of body as well. With treatment going on, toxin concentration in blood will reduce. After about one week’s treatment, a lot of floccules will come out of body with urine. After about half month’s treatment, your creatinine level will decrease at least 10%. This is an external therapy which can infiltrate active ingredients of medicine into kidneys directly. It can speed up blood circulation and increase pressure difference inside and outside of cyst so that fluid can be taken away. And then cysts will become small. It can also inhibit the proliferation of renal tubular epithelial cells and stop the secretion of lining cells. In this way, the cysts won’t enlarge. After about one month’s treatment, your kidney cysts will reduce gradually. Creatinine 3.5, BUN 53 and GFR 14 means you are at the edge of dialysis. If you do not treat your PKD timely, it is likely for you to start dialysis soon. But do not worry. We will try our best to help you. For more information on our hospital and our treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor." } ]

You can use the photos taken of the damage in the claims process. Make sure to make copies of these pictures in case they get lost in the mail. You might also need to make a list of damaged or lost items and include their date of purchase, value and receipts, if possible. You also will then need to complete a Proof of Loss to support your claim, which is a sworn statement of the amount you are claiming for your official claim for damages. Typically, your insurance provider will inform you of your statute of limitations for filing a property damage claim. The state of California requires homeowners to file a claim within three years of the damage. However, a Proof of Loss statement will likely need to be filed with the insurance company within 60 days of the flood. If you go past your statute of limitations, the company has no obligations to compensate you for the damage. 7." }, { "question": "What Happens If I Miss The Deadline To File?", "answer": "While you can still try to file a property damage lawsuit after the three-year deadline, the courts will likely dismiss the case.

They crawl pages and extract information from them. Since search engines care mainly about text on a page, Browseo helps you to focus on what is important to them: the actual content. Layout and styles of a page can often give a wrong impression of a page's actual value in terms of content." }, { "question": "Q: What are some of Browseo's unique features?", "answer": "A: Browseo's unique value lies in its consolidation of important information in a single tool that is easy to use and free for all. While browsing any web page, you can display certain details about the page and its content, such as server resonse codes, redirects, contents of headings or meta information. Additionally, you can highlight three types of links separately: internal links (pointing to pages on the same domain), external links and links containing the rel=\"nofollow\" attribute. So Browseo provides a lot of additional, useful data at a glance." }, { "question": "Q: What is the difference to text browsers such as Lynx?", "answer": "A: While Browseo removes styles and scripts and could thus be seen as a text browser, it retains some of the details that Lynx doesn't. It is also a bit more user friendly since you navigate web pages like you're used to: with your mouse!" }, { "question": "Your question is not listed here?", "answer": "Just leave us a message below and we'll answer it!

[ { "question": "How do I know what level I should try?", "answer": "Call us on 1300 739 483, or email via our contact form. We will chat with you about your prior training, if any. That information, combined with the time since you’ve attended regular classes, will help us to suggest a suitable level. We always recommend that students returning to ballet classes start with a very moderate level. This helps to ease the body back into classical technique, whilst refreshing the “ballet brain”. From your phone call or email, we’ll ascertain your best class to try and we will register you. We will help you to prepare for your first class by advising what to wear, what to bring, where to park, etc. Your teacher will be expecting you and you will be warmly welcomed! I didn’t study ballet as a child." }, { "question": "Can I still join?", "answer": "Yes! If you have no prior ballet experience then Entry Level 1 is the ideal class for you. We commence new EL1 classes at the beginning of each term. Students must start at the beginning of term so as not to miss valuable content in the early weeks. During term we welcome enquiries and waitlist students for the following EL1 intake. Waitlisted students will be given priority of placement in new EL1 classes." }, { "question": "Are men welcome in the school?", "answer": "Absolutely! Elancé welcomes men wishing to explore or return to classical ballet training. Male students can enrol in any level-appropriate class." }, { "question": "Are classes casual or term-based?", "answer": "The majority of Elancé students enroll by term. Elancé term dates are unique. Four terms, each of 12 weeks duration, run “back to back” from January to December. New students with prior ballet experience are welcome to start at any time during term and fees will be adjusted according to the week of commencement. Dance cards are available to students from EL5 to PL6 who are unable to attend on a term basis. There are several fee options available to students. These are discussed with you at the point of your enquiry. Elancé does not assume a level of fitness prior to commencing classes. You will be placed in an appropriate class and your fitness will gradually increase over time." }, { "question": "What if I don’t have a ‘dancer’s body’?", "answer": "Providing you are in sound health, the body you have is all you need! Elancé is relaxed about individual’s choice of dancewear. Some students elect to wear aerobics-style workout gear whilst others choose traditional ballet wear. Ballet shoes are required. We do suggest that fitted clothing is more suitable in order that the teacher can better see body line and position. Long hair is required to be secured away from the face. Our experience has been that as students begin to think of themselves as dancers, they prefer the more traditional ballet wear. Appropriate clothing (including layers that can be removed as the body temperature increases) water bottle, sweat towel, ballet shoes, focus and enthusiasm!" }, { "question": "Will I have to wear pointe shoes?", "answer": "No, there is no pointe work involved in the training. No. All classes at Elancé are ‘open’ classes." }, { "question": "Do I have to do performances?", "answer": "No, Elancé does not conduct end-of-year productions. In classes, we train technique and artistry in equal measure. Technique is simply the framework to support the dance!" } ]

A 2004 law is phasing in new rules for travel between Canada and the United States. Since January 2007 U.S. citizens traveling by air to and from Canada have needed a valid passport to enter or re-enter the United States. Beginning January 31, 2008, U.S. and Canadian citizens aged 19 and older traveling into the U.S. from Canada by land or sea (including ferries) have had to present documents denoting citizenship and identity. This change primarily affects American and Canadian citizens who have previously been permitted entry into the U.S. by oral declaration alone, and marks the transition toward standard and consistent documents for all travelers entering the U.S. Acceptable documentation includes a valid passport or government-issued photo identification such as a driver’s license and proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate. Children aged 18 and under need only to present a birth certificate. A list of acceptable documents is found at http://canada.usembassy.gov. Travelers who do not present acceptable documents may be delayed as U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the port of entry attempt to verify identity and citizenship. Beginning in June 2009, all travelers, including U.S. citizens, will have to present a passport or other secure document that denotes identity and citizenship when entering the U.S. from Canada.

[ { "question": "What is the difference between type A, B, and C guillotine valves?", "answer": "The type A gate valves are the most frequently used gate valve type. Type C is specially intended for discharging solids beneath silos/containers. Please contact our sales department for individual consultation." }, { "question": "What is the difference between your type A guillotine valve and a guillotine valve with sealing on two sides?", "answer": "The type A guillotine valve seals at maximum operating pressure only in the direction of flow and pressure, while in turn, the guillotine valve with sealing on two sides seals at maximum operating pressure in both directions." }, { "question": "What are the outstanding features of the AKO type \"A\" guillotine valve?", "answer": "The type \"A\" guillotine valve is designed for universal usage, both for liquids and for solid media. The gate is rounded and the valve seat acts one-sidedly." }, { "question": "Can I also use the type \"A\" guillotine valve as a silo gate valve?", "answer": "Due to its diversity and efficient design, the type \"A\" guillotine valve can also be easily used for silo locking. Rinsing connections can be optionally added on request." }, { "question": "How does the AKO type \"C\" guillotine valve differ from the type \"A\" version?", "answer": "The type \"C\" guillotine valve is primarily used in the silo area. The gate is more solidly designed and can handle heavier loading. The greater overall height ensures a significantly better flow pattern, particularly for solids, and a correspondingly lower risk of clogging. Two additional rinsing connections are standard." }, { "question": "Is the type \"W\" guillotine valve generally preferred over the type \"A\" gate valve in wastewater applications?", "answer": "Due to its special two-sided sealing, the type \"W\" wastewater gate valve has a higher sealing capacity with respect to liquids. This increases the risk of clogging, however, when a high portion of solids is present and for this reason the one-sided type \"A\" sealing gate valve would be preferable for this application." }, { "question": "Where is the Type \"B\" guillotine valve used?", "answer": "The type B guillotine valve was specially designed for the blocking of pulp in the paper industry. Its non-stop gate, however, can also be highly advantageous for other media having high consistencies. What is the advantage of a handwheel-operated guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle as opposed to a rising spindle. Due to the missing spindle protection tube, the guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle has a lower construction height as compared to the rising spindle design, making the operation of a guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle more ergonomic. The smaller handwheel of the guillotine valve with a non-rising spindle up to DN200 can be additionally supplemented by a ball handle, making it even more easy and fast to operate." }, { "question": "How can I reduce the wear on a guillotine valve used for abrasive media?", "answer": "The additional installation of a \"B\" wear protection ring in the passage prevents wear on the gate valve housing. The rings can be replaced according to wear. Subsequence installations are not recommended due to a very high expenditure. The type \"C\" deflector can be used any time as a wear protection ring and can also be retrofitted." }, { "question": "Are the guillotine valves completely sealed against the loss of gas, compressed air or vacuum pressure?", "answer": "Wafer valves in the \"soft sealing\" design are highly leak-tight against liquids, but not absolutely gas-tight. Minor pressure losses can therefore occur." }, { "question": "When do I purchase a B wear ring?", "answer": "Wear ring B (stainless steel) is typically used to reduce costs due to wear because only the ring must then be replaced and not the entire housing." }, { "question": "What effect does the usage of a deflection cone have in connection with the guillotine valve and when do I use one?", "answer": "A deflection cone protects the housing sealing against wear and provides the medium with almost no possibility of penetrating the seat of the guillotine valve housing." }, { "question": "What can be done to prevent the guillotine valves from clogging?", "answer": "Clogging of industrial fittings is usually caused by the application. Discuss your application with our sales department and we will work with you to find a suitable solution and remedy." }, { "question": "Must anything in particular be noted when installing large guillotine valves?", "answer": "We recommend using a support for the drive (bending torque) for guillotine valves DN250> when installing them in the horizontal position." }, { "question": "Do you also offer the guillotine valve made completely from stainless steel?", "answer": "Yes, with the exception of the drives; please contact our sales department for more information." }, { "question": "Yes, both spring to close and spring to open pneumatic cylinders are available for the guillotine valve types A, B, and C.\nCan the guillotine valves be started up in interim positions?", "answer": "Yes, they can. Any desired number of proximity initiators can be installed on the guillotine valve’s support plate for interim positions." }, { "question": "How high is the maximum allowable operating pressure for your guillotine valves?", "answer": "The maximum operating pressure of the guillotine valve types A, B and C is 10 bar depending on the nominal width and drops as the nominal width increases. Please see our data sheets for the maximum operating pressures of the larger nominal widths." }, { "question": "Are the guillotine valves pressure-tight from both sides?", "answer": "Yes, but the guillotine valve side opposing the flow direction is only conditionally pressure-tight.

Precise values must be determined on site." }, { "question": "Which solenoid valves are used for controlling air-operated guillotine valves?", "answer": "Pneumatic gate valves with double-acting cylinders are controlled by a 5/2-way valve, and those with single-acting by a 3/2-way valve." }, { "question": "Starting at which guillotine valve size should I use a 1/2\" solenoid valve?", "answer": "We recommend using 1/2\" 5/2- or 3/2-way valves starting at guillotine valve size DN250. Yes, we offer diverse components for controlling the guillotine valves such as diverse solenoid valves, proximity switches, pneumatic positioner, electrical actuators, pressure regulating valves, etc." }, { "question": "What is the maximum thermal load which can be applied to a stainless steel guillotine valve?", "answer": "We offer \"metallically\" sealing stainless steel guillotine valves for up to 600°C and soft sealing stainless steel guillotine valves for up to 250°C." }, { "question": "What is the maximum temperature at which I can use grey cast iron guillotine valves?", "answer": "Generally up to 200-250°C. Depending on the usage conditions, the operating pressures additionally play a major role here." }, { "question": "Can your guillotine valves also be used as \"end fittings\"?", "answer": "Guillotine valves are available which can be used without counter/loose flanges as end fittings. Please ask our sales team about the \"lug-type\" design." }, { "question": "Can the guillotine valves also be used at vacuum pressure?", "answer": "Due to their design, the guillotine valves can be used only conditionally for vacuums and are only conditionally vacuum-tight.

It’s the end of the year and you want to make sure all your employee’s addresses are up to date for tax purposes. To achieve your goal, you could have users view the table and check if the address on file is correct. However, you don’t want to let everyone to see everyone else’s information, especially their id number and salary." }, { "question": "So what if you block the most sensitive data?", "answer": "With column-level access, you could allow all users to access only the name and address fields. While this method successfully hides each employee’s id and salary, it also allows any employee to see any other employee’s address." }, { "question": "How can you make sure a user sees only their own information?", "answer": "The answer involves the Vertica row-level access policy feature. With row-level access policies, you can restrict a user’s access to only the rows you want them to see. In this example, you can make sure that each employee only sees the row associated with themselves. Or, you can allow a user to see their own row along with the rows associated with any of their direct trainees. For this example, you’ll use the FOR ROWS option with an expression that limits the viewable table to specific rows, depending on the user. In a row access policy, the expression is the content of the WHERE clause. Mark sees this output because Vertica goes through the rows in the table and enables Mark access only to rows that satisfy the WHERE clause. In other words, Vertica allows Mark to view rows where the name column matches his name. Combined, you can use row-level and column-level access policies to control exactly what information each user has access to. For example, maybe you want to allow managers to be able to look up employees and their corresponding id numbers. But you don’t want them to have access to an employee’s street address. You can create a row- level access policy and a column-level access policy on the employeeTax table to achieve this. Now, normal users can view only their own row and anyone with the manager role can see all rows. From the basic examples described above, you can see how these security policies can provide huge benefits to companies with high volumes of very sensitive data. Health care companies, banks, universities, you name it, they need security. And Vertica is here to help. Check out our other blog on access policies: For Your Eyes Only: Using Vertica Access Policies and stay tuned for a new video about access policies!" } ]

Ask them to give you their top two picks." }, { "question": "Does this coach's teaching credentials meet the needs of my skater?", "answer": "All Skate Canada professional coaches are accredited through the 3M National Coaching Certification Program to at least Level 1. This program trains coaches on proper technique, training regimes, and ethical issues related to coaching in general. All of our coaches have completed minimum Level 1and several are Level 2 and higher. They are very qualified to teach skaters through the Skate Canada Star Skate Program and through many of the competitive levels as well. Please feel free to consult the coaching staff themselves or the Club Executive. Your budget will determine how many lessons per week you will purchase for your skater. Estimate how much you are willing to spend per week on lessons. These fees are paid directly to the coach, not to the club. The fees you pay to the club are for ice only. Lessons are usually 15 minutes in length, although this is negotiable with the coach. The coach's fee may vary between coaches based on their coaching level, personal skating level, education and experience." }, { "question": "Is the coach available during the sessions that my skater is choosing to skate?", "answer": "Some of our coaches may be fully booked on some sessions. Some flexibility on both sides may be required to fit lessons in." }, { "question": "How many lessons per week can they provide to your skater?", "answer": "Discuss with them what your expectations are for your skater in terms of lessons and advancement. The coach will be able to guide you as to what is an appropriate number based on the level of your skater and your budget." }, { "question": "If the coach is quite full, are you willing to work with a couple of coaches?", "answer": "Team coaching is not uncommon and has many benefits. Some skaters learn one aspect of their skating from one coach and another from the second coach. Each coach can often compliment the other well. Once you have found an individual that your skater likes and meets your financial and goal requirements, book them! Communication is key. Make sure that the arrangement you have set up continues to work for your skater, your coach and you. If you have any questions about your skater's progress or your lessons then speak with your coach. After all, you are paying them to work with your child. This is a business arrangement and must be treated as such. If things aren't working as well as you believe they should; you need to talk. Often simple things can be ironed out and are the result of a misunderstanding. For the most part, coaching relationships are uneventful: your skater enjoys their lessons and there are no issues. But, not all relationships end up how they started." }, { "question": "First, ask yourself the following: Is this relationship not working because the parents and coach are not in agreement or because the skater is unhappy?", "answer": "If a skater has been with a particular coach for several years a fairly strong bond may have been established. If they are happy with the coach, then for the sake of the skater remaining happy (this is why we are in this sport, right?) then try to come to an understanding with the coach and do not involve your skater. If your skater is unhappy, this is a different situation. First, identify if the issue is solely related to the coach or with the skater. Every skater goes through \"slumps\" during their skating. Often this is related to growth spurts or may be injury related. Keeping motivation and enjoyment high can be really challenging. Speak with your skater to help them determine if they are definitely having issues with their coach or if it is primarily related to their own personal development. In either case, the parent should speak with the coach regarding the situation. If after several conversations or meetings, things are not working between the skater and coach, it may be time to consider switching coaches. Switching coaches can be a big decision and should not be taken lightly. If there is a definite conflict in personalities or the coaching arrangement, then the decision to change may not be a difficult decision to make. However, especially in the competitive stream, sometimes skaters and parents are quick to look to other coaching options when the skater is not achieving the results they believe they should. It is in this situation that skater and parents need to take a step back and clearly analyze the situation." }, { "question": "Are you still on track towards your original goal?", "answer": "If the overall assessment indicates that progress is not being made, your skater is unhappy (and they want to continue skating, not you) then a coaching change could be in order. \"The first thing is making decisions with your head and not your heart. Rash, emotional decisions are never good ones. As parents, we tend to be very emotionally charged where our children are concerned and we tend to jump to conclusions in order to fix things that might hurt our kids. \" - Inform the coach that you will be making a change. - Ensure that all outstanding debts are paid. - Inform any new coach that all matters have been settled with the former coach." } ]

[ { "question": "Where do you get the ideas for these beers, names and labels?", "answer": "Conceptual ideas for the beer can come from anywhere. Basically, if we can dream it, we’ll try to brew it! The names usually pick themselves and tend to appear after a good night of getting “acquainted” with the new style. We try to use a collection of independent artists and designers for our signature labels. Much of our original label art comes from an old college buddy of Joe’s, Fritz Horstman. Currently, we frequently work with Tanya Whitley." } ]

[ { "question": "How do we know Haven In is a legitimate company?", "answer": "We are a U.S.-based company, in business since 2006. You can read reviews written by clients who have stayed with us before. We are also happy to speak with you over the phone! I've only ever stayed in hotels while traveling, but think I want to try renting an apartment this time around." }, { "question": "What are the main differences?", "answer": "We at Haven In think that staying in a furnished apartment is the best way to travel! Renting your own vacation apartment in Paris is a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel. But it's true that renting a holiday flat isn't for everyone. If you think that it just isn’t a vacation without daily maid service, a concierge downstairs, and room service meals, then you might want to take a moment to think about whether a vacation apartment is for you. However, if you look forward to getting an insider’s view to the city, having a larger space and the comforts of home to return to at the end of the day, and the privacy afforded in your own apartment, then a holiday flat can be the ideal home base for your vacation. If you like the idea of renting an apartment, but would still like luxury concierge services during your stay in Paris, you can contact Haven In and we will direct you to a personal concierge for à la carte services. They will be able to help you with restaurant recommendations & reservations, day trips, Paris sightseeing and walking tours, shopping, market tours, and more. We can also put you directly in contact with certain luxury service providers who we have tested and who have the Haven In seal of approval." }, { "question": "What do your apartments have to offer that we might miss out on by staying in a hotel?", "answer": "We like to think of our Paris apartments as your home away from home. To this end, we ensure that all of our apartments are outfitted with fully equipped kitchens, allowing you to cook your own meals from fresh food bought at Paris' amazing markets, boulangeries, fromageries, boucheries, and more. We provide unlimited high speed wireless internet and unlimited phone service** to many foreign countries, so you can keep in touch with friends and family at home. In most apartments, there is also a computer for your use during your Parisian vacation. We will even provide a crib, in most apartments, free of charge for your baby! For larger groups, our holiday flats allow you to share a space, rather than having to pay for and split up into separate hotel rooms. For couples, they provide privacy, intimacy, and the ideal setting for a romantic vacation in Paris. ** Please inquire if there is a specific country that you need to call - we can let you know whether it is included in a given apartment. Most of the free countries are outlined in the individual apartment descriptions." }, { "question": "How is Haven In unique?", "answer": "We at Haven In pride ourselves on our top-notch customer service. Our aim is to provide the best vacation possible to you, our guests in Paris. All of us at Haven In have lived in Paris and speak fluent French as well as English, so we are well prepared to answer any questions you have before, during, and after your stay." }, { "question": "Who are the Haven In people?", "answer": "Haven In was started by Erica, a native of Massachusetts. Erica divides her time between Maine, Massachusetts, Italy and Paris! As the business grew, she took on Elise, Meghan, and Natasha, all of whom work in the U.S. with sporadic visits to Paris to check up on things! When you rent a vacation apartment from Haven In, you may end up corresponding with any one or even all of us. You can also now see photos and bios of the Haven In team. You can find our full terms and conditions here: https://havenin.com/rental-terms These are the terms you will agree to on our rental contract. We have a weekly rental rate that is posted on the apartment pages, but in many cases, we are able to come down from that weekly rate for shorter stays. Feel free to reach out to us about any shorter stays you might be interested in and we would be happy to confirm pricing. For any stays longer than a week, we do pro-rate for additional days; i.e., if you want to rent an apartment for 10 days, we won’t charge you for 2 full weeks. Please inquire about longer term rental discounts. You say sometimes you can rent for less than a week." }, { "question": "Do you have a nightly rate for those cases?", "answer": "When we are able to rent for less than a week, we calculate the pro-rated price for your dates based on our normal weekly rate. However, for these shorter rentals, we also have to add a supplement onto the pro-rated price to help cover the extra greeting, cleaning, and laundry costs we incur on a shorter rental. In Paris and London, your rental can start and end on any day of the week – it's up to you! In Provence and Tuscany, rentals normally go from Saturday to Saturday. Please note: We may not be able to accommodate arrivals and departures on December 25 and January 1, but we are happy to confirm this on a case-by-case basis. Arrivals and departures on December 24, 25, 31, and January 1 may incur a special fee. We require a 50% deposit to reserve the apartment, and the remaining 50% two months before your arrival date. Our system will remind you automatically a few days before your balance payment is due. If you reserve within two months of your arrival, then we ask that you make the full payment at that time. Unfortunately, we can not accept money orders or bank drafts, as they are extremely difficult to recover or reissue if lost." }, { "question": "How far in advance do I have to reserve my apartment?", "answer": "It depends. Sometimes, an apartment is rented 6 months ahead of time – or even over a year! In other cases, we have last minute availability. It is hard to gauge, which is why we recommend planning as far ahead as possible. This way, you are likely to be able to rent the apartment you prefer for the dates you want. Dates around Christmas, New Years, Easter, and Fashion Week tend to be booked well ahead of time." }, { "question": "Will you hold an apartment for my dates while I confirm other details?", "answer": "Haven In has a first come, first serve reservations policy. This means that, until you tell us you want to book and ask us to send our rental agreement, we can't hold your dates. Once we have sent you the rental agreement, we will hold the apartment for 48 hours to give you time complete it and arrange for payment. If we haven't heard from you after 48 hours, we reserve the right to remove the hold we had placed. We will however notify you before doing so. Because of this policy, we at Haven In will do our very best to keep all parties up to date if there is overlapping interest for an apartment. The prices on our site are all inclusive – you do not have to pay extra for any utilities. This is vacation! Please note: Rental prices are all inclusive and, when applicable, the Taxe de Séjour has been added into final prices (€0.83 per adult per night). * Unlimited free high speed WiFi (wireless Internet) in all our properties. Most rentals also include telephone service. 1. We charge $75 to $200 per week (depending on the apartment) for each additional person over the standard occupancy rate, which varies by property. This is clearly stated on the web site. This fee is meant to cover the extra cleaning and laundry costs. 2. We also add on a portion of the extra greeting, cleaning, and laundry costs whenever we accept a rental of less than a week. These fees vary per apartment. 3. We are normally unable to accommodate arrivals or departures on Christmas Day (December 25) or New Year's Day. (January 1). All arrivals and departures on Christmas Eve (December 24) and New Year's Eve (December 31) should occur within the hours of 9am-5pm; all arrivals or departures after 5pm or before 9am on these days will incur a fee of 100 Euros/80 Pounds to be paid in cash to the greeter." }, { "question": "Do you ever run discounted rates?", "answer": "We often run special prices when we have last minute availability in an apartment. While it varies by property, we also try to run introductory rates when we have just taken on a new property. If you are a returning client, we are happy, when possible, to give you a small discount as a thank you for returning to Haven in! We have a strict no cancellation policy. In the event that you do need to cancel, all sums paid to Haven in as of the date of your cancellation will be forfeited UNLESS we are able to re-rent the property for your dates. If we are able to re-rent the flat, we refund the amount paid, less a 20% administrative fee. Cancellation insurance is your personal responsibility, and we strongly recommend that you take out insurance for your trip. We cannot be held responsible for a cancellation for any reason, whatever it may be. It’s hard to believe it will happen to you, but sometimes life has a way of changing our plans for us. Please protect yourself! If you would like to take out insurance for your trip, typically done after travel and accommodations are booked, we recommend that you take a look at the options available on sites like ADAR, Insure My Trip, or Travelers Med. Some other insurance companies that you can investigate are: CSA, Travelex, and AIG Travel Guard. Haven In is in no way affiliated with any of these companies and these are merely suggestions. We suggest you shop around and compare until you find a product that best suits your needs." }, { "question": "So if I decide I want to reserve an apartment with Haven in, what do I need to do?", "answer": "Reserving a holiday rental with Haven in is simple! If you decide you want to rent an apartment with us and your dates are available, we will confirm the price, the dates of your stay, and the number in your party. We will then send you an email with a link to our rental agreement, which you can fill out online. Once you have submitted this agreement, our system generates a PDF of the rental contract that is emailed to both you, the client, and us, Haven in. Finally, you are taken to our payment page, where you can choose to pay by credit card through our secure server, or by check or wire transfer to Haven in in Maine." }, { "question": "How much is it and how do I pay it?", "answer": "We do require a security deposit for all of our properties. You can elect to fill out a credit card authorization form, which authorizes us to charge your card for specific damages caused by you during your stay in Paris. These damages will be documented with bills and your card will never be randomly charged. If there are no damages, we destroy your credit card information without charging your card. If there is any damage, we notify you before running any charges on your credit card*. If you would rather not fill out the credit card authorization, you can send a check to Haven in. We cash the check and, after your departure, refund either the entire amount by check, or deduct accordingly for damages and refund the balance. The amount for the security deposit varies by property – please ask about your specific rental. *In some of our properties the credit card and check process are the same: your card would be charged and then refunded after departure. Details about this can be found in the description of the apartment on its individual page on our site." }, { "question": "What should we do with our luggage in the meantime?", "answer": "Our official check-in is at 4 pm, and check-out is at 10 am. This gives our cleaners time to fully prepare the apartment between the departure of one party and the arrival of the next. However, we do understand that you may come in on an early flight, or want to leave the apartment a little later, and we do everything possible to accommodate all parties as best we can. If you would like to guarantee that an early check-in /late check-out will be possible, you must book an additional night at the beginning/end of your stay. This is the only way to ensure that there is no same-day turnover between guests, thus allowing the cleaners and greeters to have enough time to fully prepare the property. Your greeter will be able to confirm an exact check-in time with you when they contact you to coordinate your meeting you at the property, approximately two weeks before your arrival. As they manage the arrivals and departures, as well as the cleaner's schedule, they will be in the best position to advise you on what time you may be able to drop off luggage, and when you will be able to check in. If you will be arriving on an early flight, you should be able to drop your luggage off in the property starting at approximately 10am, after the previous guests have left. You will be able to return to settle in as soon as the apartment has been cleaned for you. Please be aware that the cleaning crew can not do their work effectively when there are people in the property, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping the process run smoothly. Your greeter or the cleaner will let you know when you will be able to return to the property to settle in. You may also be able to leave your luggage in the property a little bit past your check-out time on your departure day, depending on the cleaning schedule, and on the incoming guests' itinerary. * Please note: We may not be able to accommodate arrivals and departures on December 25 and January 1, but we are happy to confirm this on a case-by-case basis. Arrivals and departures on December 24, 25, 31, and January 1 may incur a special fee. I've paid for my apartment and finished the reservation process." }, { "question": "Now what?", "answer": "We will send you a link to a page where you can download all the practical details about your apartment including address, arrival and entry instructions, door code, contact person, and other important information. Please take a moment to print this out and don’t forget to bring it with you! A Haven in representative will meet you at the property. PLEASE make sure that we have your arrival information as far in advance as possible. If we do not know when and how you are arriving, we cannot ensure that you will be met at the proper time. If you do not yet have the details when you complete your rental agreement, please think to email us as soon as your arrival plans are finalized. We need to be able to schedule as far as possible in advance to ensure that you are met at your desired time. If you are delayed, give us a call to let us know. Please be aware that someone will be physically waiting for you in the apartment and be as considerate of his or her time as you hope one would be of yours." }, { "question": "Are your apartments located in safe neighborhoods?", "answer": "All of our apartments are located in central Paris and are very secure. Paris is a safe city, and we are confident that you will feel at ease in your neighborhood. We do!" }, { "question": "Will I be near a metro station?", "answer": "The Paris metro and bus system (RATP) is amazingly efficient. Our apartments are all within a 5 minute walk of the closest metro station. Metro service begins around 5 am and continues until 1 am on week nights, and about an hour later on Friday and Saturday nights. You can also take the bus with the same tickets you use for the metro – not only is it a good way to get around, but you also get an above-ground view of your route. For tickets, you've got a few options. If you plan on using public transportation some but not a lot, a carnet (10 tickets) offers a price break off of the single ticket price, and is easy to get at a ticket window or vending machine. If you plan to use the metro a bit more, they have come out with an option called \"Paris Visite,\" which is a travel pass you can purchase for 1, 2, 3, or 5 days. There is much more information online (and in several languages) at RATP - you can click the little British flag on the top right-hand corner for English." }, { "question": "Do your apartments all have elevators and air conditioning?", "answer": "While many of our apartments are located in elevator buildings and some are air conditioned, it is not the case in all of them. As so many buildings in Paris are old, they have not always been retro-fitted with elevators and air conditioning. This information is displayed on each apartment page. Otherwise, please inquire about your specific apartment and we will let you know. We do provide fans in apartments that do not have air conditioning, and generally, Paris does not get too hot in the summer. When it does, the old stone of the buildings helps to keep the indoors cool and comfortable. * Please be aware that when apartments do have air-conditioning this will cool the flat down, but is often not the sub-zero temperature you will find in many US buildings. I'm choosing an apartment as an alternative to a hotel because I want to be able to cook with the wonderful ingredients you can find in Paris' markets and food shops." }, { "question": "How well equipped are your kitchens?", "answer": "Our kitchens are all fully equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, dishes & cutlery, pots & pans, and a coffee maker. Most of our apartments also have a dishwasher and microwave. And, of course, a dining table where you can enjoy it all." }, { "question": "How conveniently located are the apartments to shops and restaurants?", "answer": "We have chosen to represent apartments in neighborhoods that we personally feel are interesting. They are all within walking distance of a number of good eating options, and one-of-a-kind shops and boutiques are scattered throughout the different neighborhoods of Paris. Nothing of the sort! We provide more than enough clean sheets and towels – no need to lug them along. Your bed will be freshly made for your arrival." }, { "question": "Do you provide any toiletries, shampoo or soap?", "answer": "We provide hand soap, dish-washing soap, dish-washing detergent when there is a dishwasher and laundry soap. Because everyone has their favorite brands, we leave it up to our guests to bring their favorite shower soap, shampoo and conditioner. Unfortunately, we don't provide q-tips or cotton balls, so remember to pack those as well! Hair dryers*, telephone, computer, crib (but no linens), high chair (available in some apartments upon request). Most of our apartments also include a small library of various books and guidebooks which you are welcome to read and enjoy during your stay. *Note: If you are coming from North America where the voltage is different, your hair dryer won't work in Europe, even with a voltage adapter. For this reason, we provide them in each apartment." }, { "question": "Do you provide electronic converters in your apartments?", "answer": "We try to have a couple of extra converters in each of our apartments. However, we can not guarantee this as sometimes people accidentally take them home with them. You can buy basic converters at many electronics or hardware stores or at the airport; they are not very expensive. However, you can not use a foreign hair dryer in France (even with a converter), and so we provide them in each apartment for that reason. Unfortunatley, flat-irons and curling-irons will also not work in France, so if you will need to use one, we suggest buying one when you arrive at the local Monoprix. If you plan on bringing a computer or cell phone, it should be able to plug in fine with a basic socket converter. Unfortunately, you're going to have to leave dear Fido at home. Even if you have the most well-behaved, cleanest dog or a cat that never sheds, we unfortunately can’t accommodate them. This is out of consideration both to the owners, who don’t want to deal with the potential messes pets can make, and to other guests – while we know you love your pet, the next people to stay in the flat might be horribly allergic." }, { "question": "Are all of your apartments non-smoking?", "answer": "Our apartments are all strictly non-smoking. However, it's fine to smoke outside on the balcony if you have one, or downstairs in the courtyard." }, { "question": "Are all of your flats child-friendly?", "answer": "With the exception of a few apartments, children are welcome in all of our Paris, London, Provence, and Tuscan homes. If there is an age limitation for a property, it will be noted on the property page. Feel free to ask us as well. Please note that several of the apartments do contain delicate artwork and fragile materials, so do make sure children are very careful. At this time, most of our apartments do not have safes." }, { "question": "Can I rent strollers or car seats for my children in Paris?", "answer": "Yes! There are two wonderful websites, Kidelio and Babytems, where you can rent gear for your children. They have convenient pick-up points throughout Paris. We suggest you visit the sites to see all they have to offer." }, { "question": "Is there an easy way to book a taxi or driver in Paris?", "answer": "There are several taxi services in Paris that offer call-ahead bookings. Normally, they charge a small fee for this, about 5 Euros. We offer some suggestions for reputable taxi companies in Paris. We also know of a few private drivers in Paris. You can read about each one, view their rates, and contact them directly through our site." }, { "question": "Is there an easy way to book a taxi or driver in London?", "answer": "There are several taxi services in London that offer call-ahead bookings. Here are some suggestions of reputable taxi companies in London." }, { "question": "What's the best way to get to the apartment from the airport or train station?", "answer": "From any of Paris' airports, we recommend reserving a car service to take you to the apartment. There is often a long wait for taxis at the airport, and some drivers may charge extra for luggage. We've partnered with several trusted drivers whom we recommend and you can book directly through our site. From the train stations we recommend taking a taxi to the apartment." }, { "question": "How do I get the keys so I can get into the apartment?", "answer": "There will be a greeter waiting for you at the apartment upon your arrival in Paris. He or she will let you in, give you keys, and show you what you need to know so that you can best enjoy your vacation apartment. You will also be checked out at the end of your stay." }, { "question": "What if (gulp) I lose a key?", "answer": "Please guard your keys very carefully!! A lost key may cost anywhere from 500€ to 3000€ as we must change all locks if a key is lost to ensure your safety and the safety of future renters. Please do NOT carry the key and the address in the same pocket. Also remember to never leave the key in the lock inside the apartment; if someone tries to open the lock from the outside while a key is in the lock on the inside, both keys will break off inside the lock and the entire lock will need to be replaced. Lock and key replacements can be very expensive in Paris, and you will be held liable for all costs associated with the replacement of the lock and keys, including any expenses associated with coordinating the locksmith, even if this cost exceeds the security deposit amount for the property. So the greeter will let us in and show us around the flat." }, { "question": "What else can they help us with?", "answer": "Your greeter is your contact and support in Paris. If you have any questions or issues during your stay, feel free to call or email your greeter. Generally, they are also happy to give a few restaurant recommendations or even make a reservation or two if you are shy about calling. For more services please inquire about a personal concierge. Here are some of our restaurant recommendations and where you can book a personal concierge directly through our site." }, { "question": "What if it turns out there is construction going on in the apartment or building I've rented?", "answer": "At Haven in it is our promise that, if we learn of any work going on in the building where you will be staying, we will let you know as soon as we find out. Unfortunately, there are times when we have no advance notice about work going on in a building. Since we rent out single units in residential buildings, and, unlike hotels, do not own entire buildings, we do not have control over what other owners may decide to do. As you can imagine, this is very frustrating for us, and we do our best to stay as informed as possible. If it does happen that there is work going on in the building where you are staying, please let us know immediately so that we can work with you to find the best solution possible for your particular situation. We are committed to making our guests' stays as comfortable, relaxing, and easy as possible." }, { "question": "What do I need to pack – does it get very cold or hot in Paris?", "answer": "Paris is fairly temperate – warm but not often extremely hot in the summer, chilly but rarely bitter cold in the winter. It does get a lot of drizzle – but we provide umbrellas in our apartments for that reason. Other good things to know are that Parisians very rarely wear shorts, white tube socks or sneakers, so if you are traveling in the summer and don't want to stand out as a tourist, keep this in mind." }, { "question": "Do you have some sort of luxury concierge service if we want more than what the greeter generally provides?", "answer": "While Haven in does not provide concierge-type services, if you think you will be needing assistance during your stay, we would be happy to point you towards some trustworthy contacts and experience providers to help make your Paris experience as carefree and enjoyable as possible." }, { "question": "Can anyone recommend restaurants for us to try?", "answer": "We have a long list of restaurant recommendations on our website. Your greeter can also recommend places in your neighborhood, or for more personalized service, you can get in touch with our luxury concierge." }, { "question": "Where can I get information on museums, exhibitions, and tickets?", "answer": "The Paris Museum Pass is a great way to gain access to most of Paris' museums (including the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, & Centre Pompidou) and many sites. In many cases, this pass will allow you to bypass lines. If you plan well enough ahead of time, there is option to purchase the pass online and have it delivered to your home. The Museum Pass can also be purchased at all participating museums & monuments, as well as at a few other locations in Paris. You can also purchase the pass at a few terminals in the Charles de Gaulle airport." }, { "question": "What else can Haven In help me with?", "answer": "We are not a travel agency! While we are delighted to help you find the right apartment for your stay & see you through the booking process, we are unfortunately not able to assist with specifics such as day trips, tickets, reservations, and the like. As much as we would love to help out, this really is not our field of expertise. To remain efficient and give all of our guests the best service possible, we have decided to keep to the rental side of the business. For good resources, we would suggest searching the Internet, or for a more directed search, you can start by looking at a travel forum such as TripAdvisor, Slow Travel, or Slow Europe. On the Haven in website we have collected many useful links for the benefit of our clients for guides, trips, classes and more. There are also links to useful blogs with tons of information, which should help guide you in the right direction. Finally, there is our fabulous HiP Paris blog. And again, we are happy to put you in touch our recommended experience providers. If in your research you come across any sites you feel would be helpful for future clients, please do not hesitate to send them along and we will add them to our site. We are always on the lookout for new & helpful information about things to do!" }, { "question": "What kind of fun and enriching activities are available for my family in Paris?", "answer": "In general, you wouldn't need a car to get around Paris. However, If you would like to rent a car to take day trips outside Paris then we recommend booking one from Auto Europe. Auto Europe works with the top car rental agencies in Paris. They offer competitive rates and excellent customer service. They are open 24/7 and they have a free number to call the US from France. The headquarters are located in Portland, Maine." }, { "question": "What should we know about tipping in Paris?", "answer": "* If you order a drink, leaving a little extra change on the table (15-20c) is perfectly acceptable. * After a simple, but pleasant, meal, a couple of €1 coins are greatly appreciated. At a nice restaurant, it is customary to leave about 5% of the final bill. * For taxis, depending on the length and cost of your trip, it is standard to tip 10%. * If you go to the theater, it is standard to tip €1 to the person showing you to your seat. * For hairdressers, a 10% tip is appropriate. * 20-30c for a washroom attendant is fine (although a sum is often indicated). * You will usually want to tip tour guides €1-€3 (if it is a group/museum tour) or 5% (for a private tour). * A weekly cleaning is included in your rental price. If you are extremely pleased with the cleanliness of the flat, a tip of 5-20€ (depending on the size of the apartment)is always appreciated but never necessary. * Tipping your greeter: If you would like to recognize your greeter’s service, it is entirely up to you. Your greeter is required to make sure that you are settled comfortably into your apartment and that you know how everything works. If you feel that he or she has gone above and beyond and has been incredibly responsive, they would surely appreciate a recognition of their efforts and this amount we will leave to your discretion. Please note: If you ask them to make numerous reservations, purchases for your arrival and any other services that go above and beyond, it is appropriate to either tip them or pay them for their time depending on the service rendered. Most of our greeters have standard fees they attach to concierge-type services, but a reasonable tip for an unpaid service would be €5 to €20, depending on the amount of time and energy they devoted to the task. We hope that these guidelines are helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to email us directly if you have any questions." }, { "question": "How does public transportation work in Paris?", "answer": "Although any foreign public transportation system is intimidating at first, the Paris system is a simple, efficient, and reliable way to get around. Here is a short introduction to the Paris system. Metro * There are 14 metro lines. Each line has a set number and color (ex: Line 1 is yellow). The final stops of each line are also listed so that you can figure out which direction you need to be going. * Metros do not run all night! The first and last metros are displayed in each station. In general, the last metro Monday to Thursday and on Sunday is around 12:15am. On Fridays and Saturdays, they run until about 1:45 am. The first metro is generally around 5:30am. * Metro stops in Paris are closely spaced - you should never be more than about a 5-minute walk from a station. Trains come at regular intervals (every 3-5 minutes during the day, 4-8 minutes at night) so it is rare to be left standing on a platform for long. In most stations, they also display how many minutes it will be until the next train arrives. Tickets * You can buy tickets at the automatic vending machines (which accept cards,** bills, and coins) or at the agent-operated booths. As of Summer 2009, the price for a single ticket is €1.70. A booklet of 10 tickets (a “carnet”) is €13.70. Each ticket is valid for one ride. With one ticket, you can transfer between lines within the metro, but unfortunately not between a bus and the metro. **Note: Some machines don’t accept all American cards. If you are having trouble, you can go to the ticket window and the agent will be able to take your card. * You can also purchase a daily “Paris Visite” pass, which affords you unlimited rides on the Metro, Bus, Tram and RER services. The tickets can be purchased by the day for up to 5 consecutive days. Visit RATP for more detailed information & current pricing. Buses * The bus system is also fairly straightforward, although a little bit more confusing than the metro as stops are not always announced by the conductor. Each bus line is identified by a number (ex: 95), and bus stops also often feature screens with the waiting time for the next bus and maps of all the stops. It can be a great, economical way to see the city from above ground! * There is a nighttime bus system called “Noctilien.” If you think you will be taking night buses, you may want to pick up map of Noctilien bus stops at your local metro station. You can also find all these maps online at the RATP website." }, { "question": "How easy is it to catch taxis in Paris?", "answer": "Generally speaking, taxis are easy to find and are an easy way to get around Paris, provided you don't get stuck in a \"bouchon\" (traffic jam). A few points to note... * You may not always be able to hail a cab in the street. There are laws forbidding taxis to pick up passengers within 200m of a designated taxi stand, so if you are unable to get a taxi’s attention standing in the street, your best bet will be to find a stand and get one there. * The minimum fare for any ride is €5, even if you are only going two blocks. * A 10% tip is standard and appropriate. Taxis can be hard to come by between 2am and 5am on weekends, once the metro has stopped running. If you find yourself stranded, there are some private taxi companies that you can call to pick you up at a designated address. Please note, however, that if you call a taxi to come pick you up, the driver will start the meter once he starts his journey to come to where you are, so it is not unusual to find €5-10 already on the meter when you get in the cab. Taxis Bleus (08 91 70 10 10, 23c/min) and Taxis G7 (01 47 39 47 39) are reliable agencies used by most Parisians." }, { "question": "Is there any way to get around on bicycle?", "answer": "Another wonderful way to get around the city is on Paris’ “Vélib’” system. These bikes are available for public use and are sponsored by the city of Paris. You will likely see Parisians of all ages riding around on them, and they are a practical, economical and green way to get around the city. Vélib’ stands can be identified by their rows of identical gray bicycles attached to small posts with green or red lights (a red light indicating the bicycle needs repair). If you have a credit card with a magnetic chip on the front (instead of just the standard magnetic strip), you can use it to rent a bicycle from the automated machine located at the Vélib station. Unfortunately these machines do not accept American-style cards without magnetic chips**. You can return your rented bike to any other Vélib’ stand throughout the city. If you return it within a ½ hr, you are not charged for the rental. The first additional ½ hour is €1 and the second additional ½ hr €2. Beyond that, it is €4 for every additional ½ hr. You must have the equivalent of €150 in your bank account for your card to be approved for the rental of a Vélib’. **Please note: While most American cards won’t work, some people have been able to use the Vélibs with their American Express charge cards." } ]

With a choice of delivery methods, including full-time, part-time and blended learning, which all incorporate a new online learning platform, we offer the flexibility to provide education to all." }, { "question": "Is the Diploma in Fitness Instructing & Personal Training an internationally-recognised qualification?", "answer": "This depends very much on the country. The USA has no overall standard and will often recognise a Premier Qualification with proof of content. Many students who enroll onto our courses often look to the USA and Canada for employment. Although there are many North American Fitness Training Organisations, the main emphasis on setting up a business in this area seems dependent upon the total cost of public liability insurance. If interested in working abroad, please also see our Certified Personal Trainer course." }, { "question": "I already have a fitness qualification - can I skip parts of the course, or get a discount?", "answer": "At Premier, we recognise qualifications from many other training providers. Depending on your qualification, you may be able to get a discount on the course or just take a particular module to further your knowledge and improve on your current qualification. If you are looking to get the Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training course, then you would need to take the entire course, but we may be able to offer a discount if you have covered parts of the course in previous qualifications. To claim this accreditation for prior learning you will need to provide evidence in the form of the original certificate when enrolling onto the course. A total reduction of 20% for a maximum of two modules can be given for APL (Accreditation of Prior Learning), however it is best to speak with your Career Adviser to discuss your specific situation." }, { "question": "Do I need a CPR certificate before I start a course with you?", "answer": "No, not for the Diploma in Fitness Instructing and Personal Training course. Although we do recommend that you complete a CPR course within six months of graduating." }, { "question": "Could my Diploma in Fitness Instruction & Personal Training allow me to enrol on a University course?", "answer": "Students who wish to enrol onto a University course would usually need to ensure they have successfully gained at least a grade C in GCSE Maths and English. Subsequently, when completing the UCAS form, applicants need to highlight achievement of the Awarding Organisation Active IQ (AIQ) fitness qualification in their personal statement. This is because AIQ qualifications have been matched with occupational standards set by the QCA (Qualifications Curriculum Authority), an organisation more familiar to UCAS than Premier Global NASM." }, { "question": "What level of salary can I expect to receive on a successful completion of Premier courses?", "answer": "Salaries within this industry vary greatly. Fitness Instructors employed at one of the more recognised health and fitness clubs can expect to receive a salary starting anywhere between £13,000 – £18,000 per year. For instructors who have more advanced fitness training skills, including the Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training, earnings will potentially be enhanced by an extra £3,000 – £10,000 per annum. On completion of our courses many students follow a self-employed career path. In this situation they could charge anything starting from £25 per hour and up to £70 per hour depending upon location.

[ { "question": "Where do you put G.F.I.’s?", "answer": "Any bathroom or garage outlet within 6′ of a sink must be GFCI protected. The code also requires all kitchen outlets for countertop use to be GFCI protected. GFCI outlets must be installed in any area where electricity and water may come into contact, including basements, pools, spas, utility rooms, attached garages and outdoors. At least one GFCI outlet is required in an unfinished basement and for most outdoor outlets. There are two types of GFCIs in homes and workplaces: the GFCI outlet and the GFCI circuit breaker. Both do the same job, but each has different applications and limitations. As a replacement for the standard electrical outlet the GFCI outlet is not dependent of a ground to work. It doesn’t measure shorts to the ground but rather the electrical current difference between the hot wire and the neutral wire. A sudden difference of 5 ma. or more trips the device by letting it know that there is another path for the electricity to travel through. The only downside to this is there may be some nuisance tripping in highly inductive loads like large motors or even fluorescent lamps or fixtures on the same circuit. But the newer models seemed to have corrected this somewhat. A GFCI outlet will protect appliances when they are plugged into it. In this sense the GFCI outlets can also be can also be wired to protect additional outlets that are connected to it. The GFCI circuit breaker controls an entire circuit, and is installed as a replacement for a circuit breaker on the building’s main circuit board. Instead of installing many GFCI outlets, one GFCI circuit breaker can protect an entire circuit. There is a test button and a reset button on these units. If you press the test button the reset should pop out. To reset just push the reset button in. Putting lights on GFCI outlets isn’t such a great idea: you’ll want protected circuits so as not to be left in the dark should the electrical circuit trip. For much the same reason equipment that can’t go without electrical power for an extended time should not be placed on a GFCI protected circuit (refrigerators, freezers, sump pumps and other machines that without electrical power might cause costly losses or property damage). GFCIs are very sensitive and are subject to nuisance tripping and the GFCI outlets outside often don’t last even under the best of conditions. Be sure to test the device using the “test” button before you use one. In Ontario Canada any electrical work done in the home or workplace must be inspected by an Electrical Safety Inspector with the ESA. Doing electrical work yourself can be a gamble, especially when one is not a licensed electrician or trained in the dangers of electricity and extreme voltage. How much are you willing to risk to save money: To fully understand electricity and become an electrician requires much training: to make an error for even the smallest of jobs could become a safety hazard. One it comes to electricity, don`t take a chance and `think` it is right: Hire a licensed Electrician to do this work such as those with CROATIAN ELECTRIC. Where a property owner does not abide by the provincial regulations it is important to highlight that in case of damage or fire caused by the electrical work, the insurance most likely will not pay, they will only if the work is done by a licensed Electrical Contractor. It`s a good idea to check with the Insurance provider e.g. homeowners Insurance Co., and they should sign a document or something to this effect to acknowledge this when they pull a permit. The time to be cautious is when you tell yourself: `This is easy. I can do it myself. Why should i get an electrician?` Avoid paying more than what it originally would cost and not having to endure the frustration of not knowing or remembering how all the wires get connected, perhaps having the hair on your head stand up and then coming to the realisation that perhaps an Electrician is a good idea to figure out the mess." }, { "question": "How many convenience outlets in each room?", "answer": "In every kitchen, family room, dining room, living room, parlor, library, den, bedroom, or similar room or area of dwelling units, receptacle outlets shall be installed so that no point along the floor line in any wall space there is more than six feet, from an outlet in that space. This is to prevent the use of extension cords. It is best to place the outlets 18 inches above floor level. Switches are usually 48 inches from floor level. For convenience outlets each single receptacle in a single branch circuit is usually figured for 1.5 amps, duplex outlets for 3 amps in estimating total amperage for that circuit. Air conditioners should be on a single dedicated circuit. All electrical outlets installed within six feet of a kitchen sink or wetbar shall have G.F.C.I. protection. Kitchen outlets on the countertops should have a minimum two 20 amp branch circuits that can be used for small appliances. It is strongly recommended to have each fixed appliance (refrigerator, stove, dish washer) on its own dedicated circuit. For countertops 12 inches or wider an outlet should be installed so that there is no more than 24 inches between receptacles. For island countertops should be installed above, or within 12 inches below the countertop. There shall be no more than 24 inches from center line of countertop. No receptacle shall be installed face up on a sink counter top. Starting January 1, 2002, The National Electrical Code, Section 210-12, requires that all branch circuits supplying 125V, single phase, 15 and 20 ampere outlets installed in dwelling unit bedrooms be protected by an arc-fault Circuit interrupter. Eventually they will be in more areas but the NEC selected to require them on bedroom circuits first because a CPSC study showed many home fire deaths were related to bedroom circuits. The AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) breaker, will shut off a circuit in a fraction of a second if arcing develops. The current inside of an arc is not always high enough to trip a regular breaker. You must have noticed a cut or worn piece of a cord or a loose connection in a junction box or receptacle arcing and burnt without tripping the regular breaker. As you can guess this is a major cause of fires in a dwelling. There is a difference between AFCIs and GFCIs. AFCIs are intended to reduce the likelihood of fire caused by electrical arcing faults; whereas, GFCIs are personnel protection intended to reduce the likelihood of electric shock hazard. Don’t misunderstand, GFCIs are still needed and save a lot of lives. Combination devices that include both AFCI and GFCI protection in one unit will become available soon. AFCIs can be installed in any 15 or 20 ampere branch circuit in homes today and are currently available as circuit breakers with built-in AFCI features. In the near future, other types of devices with AFCI protection will be available. If a GFCI receptacle is installed on the load side of an AFCI it is possible for both the AFCI and the GFCI to trip on a fault if the current exceeds the limit for both devices. It is also possible for the AFCI to trip and the GFCI to not trip since the two devices could race each other. However, in no case is safety compromised." } ]

The revenue requirement represents the total amount of money JCW must collect from customers to pay all costs. This increase is higher than those in previous years due to several factors as well as the Tomahawk Plant expansion, which will help keep rates lower once the project is completed in 2022. We are investing now to save more over the long term. A large increase in your average winter water use (AWWU) will impact wastewater charges more than rate increases.

[ { "question": "How do you deal with apples turning brown?", "answer": "When I cut them up I put them in lemon water, but they still turn brown coming through the juicer." }, { "question": "Is this ok?", "answer": "When an apple turns brown, it's just oxidation (being exposed to oxygen). Rust is another example of oxidation, but slow oxidation. The apple, being more susceptible to oxygen goes brown a little faster. But it's natural and okay. The apple and/or apple juice turning brown is a good illustration of why fresh juice should be drunk within 20 minutes of juicing. After 20 minutes, most of the enzymes and many of the vitamins begin to naturally go away or are at least, substantially reduced due to the oxidation. While other vegetables or fruits may not go brown like the apples or apple juice, a similar thing is happening even if no visible signs. You don't need to add lemon juice or soak the apples in lemon water before juicing though. As long as you cut the apple just before juicing, then that's fine. If you still want to add some lemon juice to the apple to help minimize the oxidation, then that's fine — it just seems like extra work to me! The reason why the lemon juice and/or lemon water prevents the apple from going brown before you juice the vegetable is due to the fact lemon juice contains vitamin C — a known anti–oxidant. The vitamin C, therefore, helps to slow the rate of oxidation. The same can be done when making guacamole (an avocado type of sauce). Since avocados also begin to go rancid really fast once cut open and exposed to oxygen, adding some lemon juice to the guacamole helps prevent the avocados from spoiling due to oxidation. The lemon juice really makes a difference. Although lemon juice or lemon water can help prevent oxidation before juicing, the reality is, the lemon water is only protecting the surface of the apple slice. Once you juice, you are exposing every cell of the apple to oxygen including those parts that are not protected by the anti–oxidant properties of the vitamin C. Thus the reason why you still see the apple juice turning brown slightly once juiced. The apple juice turning brown all has to do with oxidation — being exposed to oxygen. A seed's shellor wall, a nut's shell or wall, a vegetable peel or fruit peel — these are all Mother Nature's way of protecting the nut, seed, fruit or vegetable from light, heat and/or oxygen. If you bruise an apple, then the apple will go brown even though the apple peel has not been cut or sliced open. The apple still goes brown once bruised because the cell walls have been broken, even though we cannot see it with our eyes, allowing oxygen to creep into the fruit leading to oxidation. Off the topic a little, but still relating to oxidation — many peoplebuy oils for their health and this is great because we all needessential fatty acids. But all of the oils need to be cold processed (tominimize exposure to heat), packaged in opaque bottle (to protect fromthe light) and must have minimal oxygen exposure. Once opened, these oils can go rancid and must therefore bekept in the fridge. Yet, Mother Nature has protected all seeds and nutsfrom going rancid naturally. So while many people have oils, if you really want the freshness of oils, then it's worth considering eating seeds and nuts especially since not only do you get the oils, but all of the minerals too." } ]

[ { "question": "Is Angels Den like Dragons Den?", "answer": "This question is Number 1 on this list simply because I get asked it more than any other. My reply is quite simple: “Dragon’s Den is the Pantomime version of what we do for real”. The reality is that it gives a poor impression of how Angel Investors operate. In fact it’s a sort of opposite of the way Angels operate. Angel Investors are not all £50m business owners. Some of them have a few hundred thousand to invest – but they might have much more to offer in terms of experience or contacts. They are not arrogant about their abilities and their contacts and they don’t need to sell themselves to you either in front of other investors or in private. Real Angel investors take much longer to consider an investment before making a formal offer. In fact they will take time to do their Due Diligence BEFORE making an offer as opposed to afterwards like on the telly. There is one exception to this, and that’s with offers made via CrowdFunding. In that situation all the diligence must be done before the offer is placed live on the portal or website. Angel investors are very interested in the Exit and this is something that is hardly ever brought up on the telly version. They look for the credibility of the presenter and the opportunity." } ]

[ { "question": "Does Expired Registration Void Your Car Insurance Policy?", "answer": "It is perfectly understandable to let your automobile registration slip. Life is busy, things get lost in the shuffle and minor details like renewing your car’s registration can easily fall between the cracks. However, it is imperative you keep your car registration and auto insurance up-to-date. Let’s take a look at whether allowing automobile registration to lapse affects your car insurance policy. Notify your auto insurance provider as soon as you purchase a new car, a used car, or otherwise switch vehicles. The new vehicle must be registered in order to receive the insurance coverage, tags, and license plate. If you do not update your car registration, it does not mean your auto insurance will be canceled. These two items have nothing to do with one another. However, there are repercussions for letting your car registration lapse. The law requires every automobile on the road to have up-to-date registration. Fail to keep your car registration current and your vehicle will be illegal. Though unlikely, it is possible those who let their auto registration expire might also lose their car insurance. Take a look at your auto insurance contract and you will find a list of things that can automatically revoke the insurance. Furthermore, if your auto insurance is removed, it will be that much more difficult to register your vehicle. It will prove impossible to obtain a new license sticker without proof that the policy is legitimate. If you are caught driving a car that is not registered, you will face a citation for operating an unregistered vehicle. The penalty includes a small fine as driving without registration is a non-moving violation. This violation will be reported to the auto insurance company. The insurance provider can hike your insurance rates or even refuse coverage after learning of this transgression. The failure to renew your car registration will be listed on your personal driving record for a minimum of three years. In most cases, the status of vehicle registration has no impact on auto insurance. The vehicle remains insured as long as you pay your auto insurance premiums on time and in full. This way, even if the vehicle’s registration expires, it will still be covered through the insurance policy. The two services are provided through distinct organizations: the state’s DMV and the auto insurance company. These services are in no way dependent upon one another. Consider the issue of lapsed automobile registration from the perspective of the auto insurance provider. This group is looking to make money by insuring the vehicle in question. There is no concern over whether the vehicle was re-registered by the state’s deadline. The insurance company merely cares about the vehicle’s ownership status and whether the premiums are being paid in full and on time each month. When in doubt, take a look at your auto insurance agreement to determine if there is any language pertaining to expired auto registration impacting the insurance policy." }, { "question": "Why is Car Registration so Important?", "answer": "The state makes a big deal about car registration as it is essential to identify each and every vehicle on the road as completely unique. Registering each vehicle really does deter criminal behavior as all vehicles can be traced and identified to a certain extent. Most states now rely on a high-tech means of retrieving information known as automatic license plate recognition. This tech instantaneously provides the vehicle owner’s name, driver’s license status, and the vehicle’s registration data. So don’t assume you can get away with an unregistered vehicle. If the police have reasonable cause to scan your license plate and do some digging on your vehicle, they will find out your automobile registration has expired and you will face the consequences. The moral of the story is to write down the date of your car registration’s expiration on a calendar to plan ahead well in advance. Keep your car registration current and you won’t have to worry about losing your car insurance, dealing with the DMV and jumping through bureaucratic hoops to simply get your car back on the road." } ]

[ { "question": "Why is it called yin yoga?", "answer": "Traditional yoga actually incorporates 8 limbs that include moral and ethical codes and practices, breathing practices (pranayama), and meditation practices as well as what many people popularly think of as yoga – asana practice. Most asana practice, like most exercise, is yang-based, or at least skewed towards yang postures. So whether the tradition is Hatha, Iyengar, Bikram (hot) or Ashtanga, the focus is on dynamic movement of the muscles to enhance overall strength and flexibility. Generally certain postures, particularly on the floor, will call for a more yin approach. Yin yoga flips the dynamic focus, switching off the muscles, which relax with time, in order to go deeper, with fewer, long-held and supported postures." }, { "question": "Can you explain a bit more about the difference between yin and yang?", "answer": "The misconception a lot of people have is that yin and yang are opposites – they think in black and white terms. Yin and yang compliment each other and are relative to each other. So we know what fast feels like because we’ve experienced slow, what hot is because we’ve been cold. Our experiences will all differ so it’s subjective. Night compliments day – neither yin or yang are good or bad. However regular readers will know how convinced I am that we need more yin in our fast, busy and competitive world – we need a reYINvention. So in terms of yin yoga, it is slower and deeper, relative to yin yoga and in a way that compliments more dynamic practice. First of all, flexibility is relative, so don’t talk yourself out of yoga in general or yin yoga in particular. Yin yoga is actually good even with limited flexibility because you can always use props to support you – for example if your spine is very rounded you can add an extra bolster or place a block on top in a seated forward fold position in order to get just a little deeper. It takes time and that’s OK. Remember its yoga practice not yoga perfect." }, { "question": "I have a monkey mind, I couldn’t stay still for so long?", "answer": "Then you need yin yoga! Yin yoga is good for those who can’t still their mind to meditate (we never actually stop thinking we just learn to let thoughts float through). With the focus on the physical opening in your body, you can focus your monkey mind on your gripping hip or tight shoulder and take your breath to that point to help in the releasing process. You might release a negative thought pattern at the same time. Unlike sitting still in meditation, the postures give you something to focus on, so yin yoga is great preparation for deepening into meditation." }, { "question": "It still sounds slow, how can you tell you are getting ‘results’?", "answer": "I’m not going to lie, during a yin yoga class you may feel stiffer (I tell students you may feel 100 years old). But that’s the release of the stuck fascia, trapped energy, negative emotions, which you feel in the space between postures. Energy becomes unstuck and starts to flow (and believe me your whole body wants to flow). Some postures target to open specific chakras or meridian energy lines. Over time you’ll find yourself more flexible during both exercise and regular activity – you may feel lighter, both physically and mentally, as you give up long-held resistance. I’m pretty convinced you’ll feel good. I’ve had students come out of class saying they’re ‘drunk on yoga’ if that’s any clue!" } ]

[ { "question": "What file size does Kaltura accept?", "answer": "It is suggested that you do not shoot videos in high definition (HD) or the highest resolution setting of your recording device. This results in a video that takes too long to upload. A reliable/strong internet connection is required for video uploads. Although it is possible to upload a video file that is as large as 2GB, it will take a long time to upload and will likely fail during the process. In turn, it is a good idea to reduce large video files prior to uploading them to Blackboard. Suggested instructions on how to do this can be found on the Kaltura page located in the left navigation bar of the classroom. Another option is to record videos in shorter 5-10 minute segments instead of hour-long videos." } ]

We encourage “green building” technologies in the designs of new residential, municipal and commercial buildings, and in retrofitting older structures. We encourage the development of an effective public transportation system that serves clustered development areas, to reduce the need for new road construction and the production of green house emissions. We work through the public process to help refine zoning regulations and planning strategies.

[ { "question": "Is Colombia a safe country to travel in?", "answer": "Traveling in rural and remote areas of Colombia is still relatively dangerous with numerous reports of violence and kidnapping. It is recommended that travelers stick to the main tourist areas. Traveling in the major cities and tourist towns is as safe as most towns and cities in South America. Tourists need to use common sense, such as not wearing expensive jewelry, or flashing lots of cash around. Don’t accept drinks from strangers and only travel in lisenced taxis. As with most South American countries it is recommended that you drink only bottled water, water that has previously been boiled for at least 5 minutes, or water that has been purified using purification tablets. It is recommended for those with sensitive stomachs to clean your teeth with bottled water and to avoid ice, unless it has been confirmed that it is safe. To visit Colombia you need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months. Travelers are entitled to stay for up to 90 days. Most counties no not require a visa. As always visa requirements are subject to change. For the lastest information on entry requirements it is best to contact the Panama embassy or consulate in your country before travelling. Colombia uses 110 volts AC (60 Hz). In the large towns and cities there are many shops that sell adapters. Hepatitas A, B (for travelers who are likely to have intimate contact with the locals or are planning to stay for 6 months or more) Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Rabies (for those people traveling to remote areas and are likely to have contact with animals in areas without medical treatment). For Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Tetanus-diphtheria is is best to consult with your doctor before traveling. These are the recommendations by MD Travel Health. As with all advice, it is best to consult your doctor at least 2 months before traveling. Colombia’s prices are comparable to most South American countries. Hostels generally cost between $3 – 5 US per night, a meal at a mid range restaurant will set you back about $3, and a 3 hour bus trip should cost about $4. In the majority of towns, except in remote regions there are many internet cafes to choose from. Many hotels and even some hostels will have internet available to their guests. This will either be included with the cost of the room or an additional fee may be charged. Expect to pay about $1 per hour in the large towns and cities. Most large towns and cities have access to broadband. Colombia’s official time is Greenwich Mean Time minus 5 hours (GMT-5) (normal/summer)." } ]

[ { "question": "Are dental implants a better solution than bridges, partials and dentures?", "answer": "Dental implants provide a more permanent tooth replacement option than the alternative options such as bridges, partials and dentures. Unlike bridges, partials and dentures need to be replaced several times over the patient’s lifetime, while dental implants can last a lifetime. In addition, implants are designed to preserve the existing bone near the missing tooth without damaging surrounding teeth which is not always the case with the alternative tooth replacement solutions." }, { "question": "Will the implant(s) look like my natural teeth?", "answer": "The simple answer is, Yes! Implants address both the root replacement to preserve the natural contour of your mouth; as well as the exterior crown for natural look, feel and function. Commonly the procedure is no longer than other standard dental procedures. However, the overall treatment time can take anywhere from several weeks to months based upon the individual’s healing time and bone quality. After the initial procedure is complete you will have a few follow up visits to monitor the progression of the implant before completing the final phase of crown placement. Most patients experience similar minor discomfort after surgery that is commonly associated with other dental procedures such as tooth extractions, fillings, etc. The majority of dental implant patients can manage any post-surgery discomfort with over the counter pain medication. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry dental implants are the best long-term solution for tooth replacement. When properly placed, dental implants can last a lifetime. From 1975 to 2004, Implant success ranged between 90% to 100% according to a clinical study. The most common causes for implant failure range from smoking to excessive grinding of the teeth." }, { "question": "Does insurance cover implant procedures?", "answer": "Insurance coverage for dental implant treatments can vary based upon on the individual policy. Most plans however do commonly provide at least partial coverage for the complete dental implant procedure." } ]

[ { "question": "Getting started with Motion Simulation Control Basics ... How it works ?", "answer": "Discussion in 'New users start here - FAQ' started by speedy, Mar 25, 2014. As a start ... motion control systems is what I call it Electro-Mechanical Compo Balanced Systems. And a predefined DOF \"Degree Of Freedom\" expression is used for motion control system between point A to point B ... even in curved motion direction . So Motion Controller boards as master brain are like \"SimAxe ,Arduino ,... \"\nTo build Such DOF system we must have a balanced system ... which by default and is divided into two sides the mechanical motion side ... and electrical control side ... with a kind of internal communication way between them ... with a basic responsibility for both sides to watch the other side and a brain to react . The Brain \"processor \" always compare these bond points in pair and uses the communication way between sides to check each bond and there is NO Deference in its points ... plus giving orders to correct the unbalanced points ... So bond points must gives a \"Zero error \" measurement result in there own type of construction concept level ... eventually we'll get a stationary alive system . Since the communication way between sides is electrically presented in signal/s ... the \"Feedback pot shaft angle\" value is only converted into an electrical signal called \"Feedback signal\" ... the motor driving commands from electrical control side are called \"motor signals\" ... the computer commands is sent and received through a USB data link . If the electrical control side is unbalanced So the mechanical motion side corrects its position to exact balance it . -The mechanical side Drive method . -The Electrical side Drive method . So in such motion control system ... digital values are transferred through the input/output connections of the controller board ... Some extra LCD display output connection may be added to the board for tracking proposes only ... Information is provided to the processor as above through the USB data link from the attached PC to be the new set point ... as values from the feedback pot is considered set point ... . Assuming it is positive deference ... then processor gives orders through output communication to the motor to rotate CW ... Regarding that feedback pot shaft mechanically mounted to motor shaft ... that CW rotation will give a \"feedback set point\" to the processor which while motor CW moving it is continuously compared with the \" new set point \" required value until \" error = zero \" ... then motor stop . Vise Versa for Negative deference ... then processor gives orders through output communication to the motor to rotate CCW ... regarding that feedback pot shaft mechanically mounted to motor shaft ... that CCW rotation will give a \"feedback set point\" to the processor which while motor CCW moving it is continuously compared with the \" new set point \" required value until \" error = zero \" ... then motor stop . These three simple steps are done quickly and with further more details [for programmers ] in position approach that are called PID control ... which gives a smooth fast start fast stop as required on target . For the next video it shows how we as humans doing this as we are driving a car or throw the dart and look where it goes and then correct our next strike depending on our shoulder position adjustment resolution ... and our Brain calculations . Motors used in motion simulators are endless types and shapes ... many types from many sources are used here even from the scrap yard . Now If you still have questions just ask ... Or you find this post informative enough then go to the next step ... Have a look and understand the SimTools program here in the Tutorials section . I will NOT forget that! Types of the normal 10K pot ... see it in action . I have a test unit with stepper and know of a couple testing Ac servos at the present, but we are keeping quite for now until we can show that it works and be able to write up how to do it too.

[ { "question": "Q: Is it wise to fight a DUI charge in NY?", "answer": "A: As you may already know, there are severe consequences for any type of DUI conviction. Many of these consequences you may not even be aware of, such as not being able to get a job due to your record or not being able to travel. So, if you want to increase your chances of not having to deal with these consequences in the future, then it's worth fighting. Although you won't be guaranteed any results, it can be worth it if you want to avoid having huge problems in the future." }, { "question": "Q: If I fight, what are the consequences?", "answer": "A: The most immediate consequence of fighting this charge is having your license suspended while the case is pending. This happens when your blood alcohol content is over the legal limit, which is .08 or higher. The only way to get this back is if you apply for \"hardship privilege\" after the first 30 days, which only allows you to drive back and forth to work. The next step is to get a conditional license, which allows you to drive regularly, but with special conditions. Your license can still be suspended for a year after this, if the case ends up not going in your favor." }, { "question": "Q: Do I have to Hire a Lawyer?", "answer": "A: It's not required that you hire a lawyer, as you can negotiate on your own or plead guilty if you choose to do so. However, it's generally a very smart idea to hire a DWI lawyer because of the defense they can provide for your situation. They can help reduce or even eliminate suspensions, charges and consequences. Although your lawyer won't be able to guarantee any of these things happening; they will be able to keep you aware of what is going on and give you solid legal advice to ensure that you're making the best choices possible when it comes to your case. They will actually be there every step of the way as you go through the DWI legal process." }, { "question": "Q: Will I see an Increase in my Insurance Premium?", "answer": "A: Most insurance companies will increase your premium as a result of finding out you have a DUI conviction. It's also possible that your insurance company will drop your coverage all together, simply because you're too much of a risk for them to insure. Although you might not see a change immediately, you will see an increase when your policy renews, which is generally going to be a pretty significant increase. The only exception to this is sometimes for out-of-state drivers. They may not see their insurance rates increase due to information not being transmitted to their license, but this all happens by chance." }, { "question": "Q: DWAI, DWI and DUI: What are the differences?", "answer": "A: DUI- Otherwise known as driving under the influence, this is something you generally won't hear in New York State. DWI- Otherwise known as driving while intoxicated, this means that you have a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher or that you appear intoxicated/impaired. The first time someone is charged with this, it is a misdemeanor. The second time someone is charged with this, it is a felony. DWAI- Driving while ability impaired means that you have a blood alcohol content level of .05 or more, but not more than the legal limit of .08. First and second convictions of this type of charge are violations, but the third is a misdemeanor. An Aggravated DWI is when you have a blood alcohol content level of .18 or above. If you have any questions, it's worth it to call us and get a free consultation. Our advice can help you determine a course of action so that you can take care of this situation in the smartest way possible." } ]

[ { "question": "What is the difference between plant-based and biomass-balance/bio-sourced?", "answer": "Plant-based content like that found in Decovery® can be measured in the product and verified at the point-of-use. Biomass-balance - also known as bio-sourced - is related to the underlying production process, and their respective certifications. It cannot be verified at a specific product level." }, { "question": "How do we know the resin is plant-based (and can we measure it)?", "answer": "We measure the amount of plant-based content inside Decovery® based on 14C. Despite making up just one trillionth of all carbon in existence,14C is essential for assessing the lifetime of carbon-based materials – because it’s only found in living plants (like those inside Decovery®). By measuring the miniscule amounts of 14C inside our product, we can thus calculate the precise amount of plant-based content." }, { "question": "Which plant-based resources are being used for Decovery®?", "answer": "Seeds, tree bark, castor beans and other agricultural waste are the prime ingredients of Decovery®, as well as some corn." }, { "question": "Are the plant-based raw materials used for Decovery® products competing with the food chain?", "answer": "Today, around 75% of these ingredients don’t compete with the food chain – and even for those that do, the impact is negligible due to the comparatively low volumes. Tomorrow, as we scale up production, we intend to move to a second-generation feedstock – using corn hubs instead of the corn itself - thus not interfering with the food chain at all. However, we will not only looking at how we get more from what we already use; we’ll also investigate completely new natural materials that could be chemically engineered to produce the natural oils we need to make a high-performing paint resin." }, { "question": "Are the raw materials used for Decovery® farmed sustainably?", "answer": "Our initial product is made from corn that is made in existing farming lands without destruction of sustainable forestry." }, { "question": "What is the advantage of using plant-based renewable materials?", "answer": "Non-renewable fossil feedstocks, like crude oil are not only becoming scarcer but they also contribute to climate change. By using plant-based materials that perform as well as (if not better than) fossil-based equivalents we unlock environmental benefits that reduce our overall ecological footprint. In markets like paint, for example, we see customers increasingly making this a key part of their decision criteria." }, { "question": "What is the environmental impact of Decovery® and how can this be measured?", "answer": "The environmental impact is measured through a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) - also known as life-cycle analysis, eco-balance, or cradle-to-grave analysis. The LCA is a technique for assessing environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product's life, from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, and ending with disposal or recycling. Increasingly we use this process to guide us in the way we design products. For example it helps us determine how much energy goes into and out of a product over its life and the subsequent effect on environment – which ultimately helps us make better-informed decisions. The bigger the market for plant-based paint becomes, and the larger the scale of our production, the greater the benefits will be." }, { "question": "Where in the world is Decovery® made?", "answer": "Decovery® is currently produced by DSM in Waalwijk (Nl), although we have the ability to produce it in multiple locations and regions if and when the market requires." }, { "question": "Is the impact of transport greater or smaller vs \"regular\" products?", "answer": "An exact comparison is difficult to make, however transportation is included in our Life Cycle Assessment where Decovery® shows a lower footprint compared to solvent-borne and traditional acrylic polymers." }, { "question": "Why don't you use corn or products originating from the Netherlands?", "answer": "It’s still relatively early days for Decovery®. Eventually we will make the product with locally sourced plant residues when the economies of scale make it financially viable." } ]

Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding.

If one little piece of the evolution puzzle doesn’t fit, well the whole thing has to go. And of course that’s not the way science is done. Wednesday: A rather intense debate on what time it was got sparked as Ricky showed up late to chat. Forum talk quickly took its place, mostly based off of this post by Dave.

We talked about forum members who didn’t show up behind their backs, as promised. Chefcrsh got in trouble over on JREF forums.

But that that would be your own problem.” Chefcrsh made a rather nice rebuttal about the whole thing. To end things off, a discussion over how much “raising awareness” actually does for a cause.

The tax assessment value is based on a variety of factors including, location of the property, quality of the site and nature of any improvements. The replacement cost value arrived at by the insurance company takes several factors into consideration such as the cost of replacing, repairing, constructing or re-constructing the property on the same site with new property of like kind and quality. Basically the insurance company takes into consideration the actual hard costs to rebuild the home i.e. nails, lumber, labour etc." } ]

[ { "question": "If you are an adult considering going back to school through an online college, will the degree be worth the cost and the effort required earning it?", "answer": "While it might be comforting to read a resounding positive answer, the truth is that it depends upon your reasons for earning the degree, and your age. Of course, you are never too old to get your degree; several 95-year-old graduates have taken that step. The question is whether the degree is worth the cost and effort, and the answer depends upon many variables." }, { "question": "Why Do You Want the Degree?", "answer": "The pay gap between those who have college degrees and those who don’t is widening. College graduates currently earn nearly double what people with only high school diplomas earn, up from 64 percent in the early 1980s. If you want to increase your earning potential, getting a degree might be worthwhile. Statisticians consider an older student as one who is entering a degree program at an age older than 25, but nearly four million people who are 35 or older are enrolled in degree-seeking programs in the United States. Two-thirds of those people are women." }, { "question": "Are you thinking about starting a new career or just learning new skills to get ahead in your current position?", "answer": "If you only want advancement, you might think about auditing classes or taking a few courses. For some people, earning a degree has nothing to do with increasing earning power and everything to do with personal satisfaction. Whether the degree is worthwhile for them depends on other factors. If the career you want will pay back the student debt you would have, you probably can afford the degree program. Online degree programs often, but not always, are less expensive. Earning an online degree, you would not have to pay for on-campus lodging or meal plans and other fees. Sometimes the tuition is lower than traditional programs, but it could be the same or even higher. Online schools charge by the credit hour and often require more credits for graduation. If you need financial aid, as most students do, you probably must be enrolled at least half-time. Most experts consider a degree program affordable if you will graduate with a total debt that is less than your starting annual salary. There are many scholarship opportunities for non-traditional students as well as student loans. The actual cost of earning a degree, according to some experts, is a negative $500,000 for those in early or mid-career. You could lose nearly a half-million dollars of increased income over your lifetime without a degree." }, { "question": "Can You Balance the Load of Work and Study?", "answer": "Adult students who pursue an online degree often do so to “learn as they earn.” They want keep on working full-time as they get their degree. The flexibility of online schools is an advantage. The difficulty you may encounter, though, is balancing your work, family, leisure and study times. The stress of rushing home from eight or more hours on the job to a hastily-eaten meal and then hours of study can take a toll on relationships and on your health." }, { "question": "Are You Ever Too Old to Get Value from an Online Degree Program?", "answer": "Most adults returning to school online or traditionally are still in mid-career. Adults older than that are in the minority. The average student debt can be retired in ten years if it is less than your annual income. If you are five years or less from retirement, you should consider carefully whether borrowing that amount will create a financial burden for you, especially if you will be on a fixed income. Older adults who want a degree for reasons other than increased earnings should note that federal student loans are forgiven upon the death of the borrower. If you are 80, for instance, you can get a loan with an earnings-based repayment schedule and possibly have no monthly cost. The debt does not become part of your estate. If you consider all the variables and still want to pursue earning a degree, you deserve kudos. It isn’t an easy path, but it can be rewarding. Almost all of the time, earning an online degree is worth the cost and the effort you will put in to the pursuit." } ]

[ { "question": "1 What is compulsive gambling?", "answer": "The explanation that seems most acceptable to Gamblers Anonymous members is that compulsive gambling is an illness, progressive in its nature, which can never be cured, but can be arrested. Before coming to Gamblers Anonymous, many compulsive gamblers thought of themselves as morally weak, or at times just plain 'no good'. The Gamblers Anonymous concept is that compulsive gamblers are really very sick people who can recover if they will follow to the best of their ability a simple program that has proved successful for thousands of other men and women with a gambling or compulsive gambling problem." }, { "question": "3 How can you tell whether you are a compulsive gambler?", "answer": "Only you can make that decision. Most people turn to Gamblers Anonymous when they become willing to admit that gambling has them licked. Also in Gamblers Anonymous, a compulsive gambler is described as a person whose gambling has caused growing and continuing problems in any department of his or her life. Many Gamblers Anonymous members went through terrifying experiences before they were ready to accept help. Others were faced with a slow, subtle deterioration which finally brought them to the point of admitting defeat." }, { "question": "4 Can a compulsive gambler ever gamble normally again?", "answer": "No. The first bet to a problem gambler is like the first small drink to an alcoholic. Sooner or later he or she falls back into the same old destructive pattern. Once a person has crossed the invisible line into irresponsible uncontrolled gambling he or she never seems to regain control. After abstaining a few months some of our members have tried some small bet experimentation, always with disastrous results. The old obsession inevitably returned. Our Gamblers Anonymous experience seems to point to these alternatives: to gamble, risking progressive deterioration or not to gamble, and develop a better way of life." }, { "question": "5 Why can't a compulsive gambler simply use will power to stop gambling?", "answer": "We believe that most people, if they are honest, will recognize their lack of power to solve certain problems. When it comes to gambling, we have known many problem gamblers who could abstain for long stretches, but caught off guard and under the right set of circumstances, they started gambling without thought of the consequences. The defenses they relied upon, through will power alone, gave way before some trivial reason for placing a bet. We have found that will power and self-knowledge will not help in those mental blank spots, but adherence to spiritual principles seem to solve our problems. Most of us feel that a belief in a Power greater than ourselves is necessary in order for us to sustain a desire to refrain from gambling." }, { "question": "Do I need Gamblers Anonymous?", "answer": "Yes. Compulsive gamblers who have joined Gamblers Anonymous tell us that, though their gambling binges were periodic, the intervals between were not periods of constructive thinking. Symptomatic of these periods were nervousness, irritability, frustration, indecision and a continued breakdown in personal relationships. These same people have often found the Gamblers Anonymous program the answer to the elimination of character defects and a guide to moral progress in their lives. GAMBLING , for the compulsive gambler is defined as follows : Any betting or wagering, for self or others, whether for money or not, no matter how slight or insignificant, where the outcome is uncertain or depends upon chance or 'skill' constitutes gambling." }, { "question": "8 If I join Gamblers Anonymous won't everyone know I am a compulsive gambler?", "answer": "Most people made quite a name for themselves as full-fledged gamblers by the time they turned to Gamblers Anonymous. Their gambling was not usually a well kept secret. It would then be unusual if the good news of their abstinence from gambling did not cause comment. However, no disclosure of any affiliation with Gamblers Anonymous can rightfully be made by anyone but the member themselves. Even then, it should be done in such a way that will work no hardship on the Gamblers Anonymous fellowship." }, { "question": "10 How does someone stop gambling through the Gamblers Anonymous program?", "answer": "One does this through bringing about a progressive character change within oneself. This can be accomplished by having faith in -- and following -- the basic concepts of the Gamblers Anonymous Recovery Program. There are no short cuts in gaining this faith and understanding. To recover from one of the most baffling, insidious, compulsive addictions will require diligent effort. HONESTY, OPENMINDEDNESS, AND WILLINGNESS are the key words in our recovery." }, { "question": "13 Is knowing why we gambled important?", "answer": "Perhaps, however insofar as stopping gambling, many Gamblers Anonymous members have abstained from gambling without the knowledge of why they gambled." }, { "question": "14 What are some characteristics of a person who is a compulsive gambler?", "answer": "* INABILITY AND UNWILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT REALITY. Hence the escape into the dream world of gambling. * EMOTIONAL INSECURITY. A compulsive gambler finds he or she is emotionally comfortable only when \"in action\". It is not uncommon to hear a Gamblers Anonymous member say: \"The only place I really felt like I belonged was sitting at the poker table. There I felt secure and comfortable. No great demands were made upon me. I knew I was destroying myself, yet at the same time, I had a certain sense of security.\" * IMMATURITY. A desire to have all the good things in life without any great effort on their part seems to be the common character pattern of problem gamblers. Many Gamblers Anonymous members accept the fact that they were unwilling to grow up. Subconsciously they felt they could avoid mature responsibility by wagering on the spin of a wheel or the turn of a card, and so the struggle to escape responsibility finally became a subconscious obsession. Also, a compulsive gambler seems to have a strong inner urge to be a 'big shot' and needs to have a feeling of being all powerful. The compulsive gambler is willing to do anything (often of an antisocial nature) to maintain the image he or she wants others to see. Then too, there is a theory that compulsive gamblers subconsciously want to lose to punish themselves. There is much evidence to support this theory." }, { "question": "15 What is the dream world of the compulsive gambler?", "answer": "This is another common characteristic of compulsive gamblers. A lot of time is spent creating images of the great and wonderful things they are going to do as soon as they make the big win. They often see themselves as quite philanthropic and charming people. They may dream of providing families and friends with new cars, mink coats, and other luxuries. Compulsive gamblers picture themselves leading a pleasant gracious life, made possible by the huge sums of money they will accrue from their 'system'. Servants, penthouses, nice clothes, charming friends, yachts, and world tours are a few of the wonderful things that are just around the corner after a big win is finally made. Pathetically, however, there never seems to be a big enough winning to make even the smallest dream come true. When compulsive gamblers succeed, they gamble to dream still greater dreams. When failing, they gamble in reckless desperation and the depths of their misery are fathomless as their dream world comes crashing down. Sadly, they will struggle back, dream more dreams, and of course suffer more misery. No one can convince them that their great schemes will not someday come true. They believe they will, for without this dream world, life for them would not be tolerable." }, { "question": "16 Isn't compulsive gambling basically a financial problem?", "answer": "No, compulsive gambling is an emotional problem. A person in the grip of this illness creates mountains of apparently insolvable problems. Of course, financial problems are created, but they also find themselves facing marital, employment, or legal problems. Compulsive gamblers find friends have been lost and relatives have rejected them. Of the many serious difficulties created, the financial problems seem the easiest to solve. When a compulsive gambler enters Gamblers Anonymous and quits gambling, income is usually increased and there is no longer the financial drain that was caused by gambling, and very shortly, the financial pressures begin to be relieved. Gamblers Anonymous members have found that the best road to financial recovery is through hard work and repayment of our debts. Bankruptcy, borrowing and/or lending of money (bailouts) in Gamblers Anonymous is detrimental to our recovery and should not take place. The most difficult and time consuming problem with which they will be faced is that of bringing about a character change within themselves. Most Gamblers Anonymous members look upon this as their greatest challenge, which should be worked on immediately and continued throughout their lives." }, { "question": "18 How much does it cost to join Gamblers Anonymous?", "answer": "There are no assessments in connection with Gamblers Anonymous membership. The newcomer signs nothing and pledges nothing. However, we do have expenses relative to our group meeting and our Gamblers Anonymous service facilities. Since Gamblers Anonymous has traditionally been fully self supporting and declines outside contribution, these expenses are met through voluntary financial support by the members. Experience has shown that acceptance of these financial responsibilities is a vital part of our individual and group growth process." }, { "question": "19 Why are Gamblers Anonymous members anonymous?", "answer": "Anonymity has great practical value in maintaining unity within our fellowship. Through its practice at the level of press, radio, films and television we have eliminated the possibility of fame and recognition being given to the individual member; hence, we have not been faced with any great internal struggles for power and prestige which would prove highly detrimental to our essential unity. Anonymity also has great value in attracting new members who initially might feel there is a stigma attached to the problem. Therefore, we guarantee the newcomer as much anonymity as they choose. More importantly, we are beginning to realize that anonymity has tremendous spiritual significance. It represents a powerful reminder that we need always place principles above personalities. Our survival as individuals demands that we renounce personal gratification . . . so our Gamblers Anonymous movement not only advocates but tries to practice true humility and it is through greater humility that we will be able to live in peace and security for all the years to come." } ]

[ { "question": "What Types of Temporary Work Visas are Available?", "answer": "H visas are broken down into several categories. There are limits on the number of each type of H visa available in any given year. Employers may be required to file for labor certification from the Department of Labor prior to petitioning the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for H visas for temporary workers. H-1B visas are available for specialty workers, which are defined as workers in occupations that require some degree of theoretical or practical application of specialized knowledge. Those acquiring H-1B visas must have a bachelor's degree or other advanced education degree. H-1C visas are available to foreign nurses who are willing to work in medically underserved areas in the U.S. Nurses may remain in the country for up to three years. H-2A visas are available to temporary or seasonal agricultural workers. Employment is restricted to one year or less or to certain times of year, such as harvesting season. H-2B visas are available to nonagricultural temporary workers who perform one-time, seasonal, peak load or intermittent employment. The temporary employment must be full-time to qualify. H-3 visas are available to trainees, including those in the field of special education. Trainees may remain up to two years in the U.S., with the exception of special education trainees, who are restricted to 18 months total training. Medical and academic trainees are not eligible for H-3 visas. L visas are available for intracompany transferees. To be eligible, the individual must have been employed abroad for at least one year within the last three years, must be entering the U.S. to work at a subsidiary, branch, parent or affiliate of the foreign company employer and must be fulfilling an executive or manager position or a position that requires specialized knowledge. Specialized knowledge may include knowledge of the employer's product, its application in international markets or an advanced understanding of the employer's processes and procedures. O visas are for those with extraordinary ability in the arts, science, education, business or athletics, or extraordinary achievement in movies or television. To be considered \"extraordinary,\" the individual must have earned national and international praise. Chefs, directors and choreographers may be included in this category. Those who assist one of these individuals may be able to obtain a visa to join them in the US as well as spouses and minor children. P visas are reserved for athletes and entertainers. Those qualifying for P visas must perform at a level that is internationally recognized and may be individually applying or as part of a group or team. If the entertainer is part of a group, the group generally must have been formed at least one year prior to applying for the visa. As with O visas, those assisting the athlete or entertainer may apply for a P visa to join them, as well as spouses and minor children. Q visas are available to foreign nationals to come to the US as cultural exchange visitors and receive practical training and employment while sharing their history, culture and traditions with US employees. US employers must file a petition to sponsor a cultural exchange visitor with the USCIS. Individuals can remain in the US initially up to 15 months on a Q visa.

[ { "question": "How is 802.11n different than current generations of Wi-Fi?", "answer": "The 802.11n standard uses some new technology and tweaks existing technologies to give Wi-Fi more speed and range. The most notable new technology is called multiple input, multiple output (MIMO). MIMO uses several antennas to move multiple data streams from one place to another. Instead of sending and receiving a single stream of data, MIMO can simultaneously transmit three streams of data and receive two. This allows more data to be transmitted in the same period of time. This technique can also increase range, or the distance over which data can be transmitted. A second technology being incorporated into 802.11n is channel bonding, which can use two separate nonoverlapping channels at the same time to transmit data. This technique also increases the amount of data that can be transmitted. A third technology in 802.11n is called payload optimization or packet aggregation, which, in simple terms, means more data can be stuffed into each transmitted packet." }, { "question": "So, what are the benefits of 802.11n?", "answer": "Users will notice two things about this new and improved wireless technology: significantly greater speed and range. Both Intel Corp., which has a vested interested in 802.11n because it manufactures wireless chip sets, and independent reviews indicate that the claims of greater speed and range for 802.11n are true. Specifically, 802.11g products, which have a theoretical maximum throughput speed of 54Mbit/sec., typically provide real-world speeds of 22Mbit/sec. to 24Mbit/sec. In contrast, Intel says it's seeing real-world speeds of 100Mbit/sec. to 140Mbit/sec. for 802.11n equipment. Those results were confirmed in a recent Computerworld roundup review of several Wi-Fi products based on Draft 2 of the 802.11n standard. Range is harder to quantify because it's affected by many variables, such as barriers that could block the signal. However, Intel reports that 802.11n equipment typically delivers more than twice the range of 802.11g equipment, at any given throughput speed. Those results were confirmed anecdotally in the recent Computerworld review. \"At the very end of an open field with no interference, where you could get 1Mbit/sec. with \"g\" equipment, you'll net 14Mbit/sec. to 16Mbit/sec. with \"n\" equipment,\" reports Ashish Gupta, an Intel product manager." }, { "question": "What's in it for business users?", "answer": "Consumers are increasingly buying equipment based on draft versions of 802.11n. However, few businesses will deploy 802.11n products until the standard is fully ratified and business-focused vendors such as Cisco Systems Inc. offer products based on the ratified standard. When that happens, however, the role of wireless networking is expected to significantly increase in corporate settings. Wireless networking in many companies often fills specific niches, such as providing networking in conference rooms, lunch rooms or in temporary or under-construction office space. That lack of full deployment of wireless is understandable given that Ethernet provides greater reliability and speeds (theoretical maximums of 100Mbit/sec.) and is switched, while wireless LANs offer slower speeds and the bandwidth is shared. The new 802.11n technology will solve the throughput problem for business users, opening the way to far more applications, such as wireless voice over IP and more videoconferencing." } ]

Each case will be considered individually, but generally if you provide sufficient evidence you can remain in the action. We will claim for the losses you suffered on the sale, not the cost of replacing the cladding. This may require evidence from a registered valuer which may not be a funded cost. If your property is in a Body Corporate and is sold, whether your claim can remain in the Class Action will be assessed on a case by case basis. Visit www.adinathorn.co.nz.

The Bosch 4Ah battery is 144w/h so is allowed on a plane. You may need to arrange approval in advance so check with your airline. See IATA information for more details." }, { "question": "How do I charge my battery ?", "answer": "Simply take the battery out of the bag and clip onto the charger supplied. Plug the changer into any wall socket to charge." }, { "question": "How long does it take to charge the battery ?", "answer": "From empty the 4Ah batteries will take about an hour and the 13Ah about 6 hours." }, { "question": "Can I charge my battery with an inverter?", "answer": "Yes, our chargers can be used with an inverter which is rated 150w or more, but we recommend use with a 200w pure sine wave inverter." }, { "question": "Can I charge my battery outside the UK?", "answer": "Some chargers are rated for use worldwide. They are supplied with a UK lead, but we can provide an EU lead on request. For use in other countries use an adapter or buy a lead locally." }, { "question": "What are the running costs of a NANO system?", "answer": "The only running cost is the cost of electricity to charge the battery. It costs pence not pounds to fully recharge the battery." }, { "question": "Which throttle does the NANO motor conversion kit include?", "answer": "For Bromptons (except P handle bars) we supply the twist throttle as standard. This is usually fitted on the right handlebar and is similar in use to a motorcycle throttle so is very intuitive. The further you twist it the more power you receive. We can also supply left hand fitting throttles on request. For P handlebars, or if preferred, we can provide a thumb throttle which can be fitted on the right or left handlebar. In both cases we replace your left handlebar grip to match. The button control is for customers who don’t want to have to hold a throttle. This offers 6 speed settings and is fitted within easy reach on the handlebars." }, { "question": "How do I cut power to the motor?", "answer": "Stop pedalling, release the grip on the twist or thumb throttle, (as its spring loaded it will automatically turn off) or apply the brakes which will cut the motor." }, { "question": "Can I fit the nano kit myself ?", "answer": "Absolutely – over half our customers each year fit the kits themselves – they come with full fitting instructions and we are always at the end of the phone if you have any questions. Alternatively we can fit the system for you. At one of our workshops it usually takes about 3 hours, so we can do it while you wait." }, { "question": "Do I have to take the bottom bracket off to fit the pedal sensor ?", "answer": "Yes, on the Brompton you do have to remove the bottom bracket to fit the pedal sensor. We can lend you the tools to do that if you don’t have them yourself." }, { "question": "Are there any Bromptons that the nano system can’t be fitted on ?", "answer": "No, the system can be fitted onto any age of Brompton. Some of the older models may need new handlebars (£30) as the old ones were larger in diameter. It is also sometimes necessary to change the mudguard stay as again the older ones were thicker (£20)." }, { "question": "What about widening my forks ?", "answer": "We have fitted thousands of nano systems over more than 10 years now so we know that the slight expansion of the steel forks is perfectly safe. We supply full instructions and a tool for this purpose so you don’t need to worry." }, { "question": "Where can I bring my bike in for a nano fitting ?", "answer": "Our main site is in Leamington Spa but we also have fitting services in London, Manchester, Yeovil and Burbage (nr Marlborough)." }, { "question": "Can a nano system be fitted onto the rear wheel ?", "answer": "Not on a Brompton but we can supply rear wheel motors for other bikes for example a Birdy." }, { "question": "I have a titanium Brompton; can I still have a NANO motor conversion?", "answer": "Yes, but front forks will have to be changed to steel - we can supply these in black or other Brompton colours." }, { "question": "Can you supply pre-widened forks?", "answer": "Yes - we have stocks in most colours or you can send us your forks and for £20 we can widen them and return them when we ship the rest of your NANO system." }, { "question": "What is the best way to widen the slots on the forks ?", "answer": "You can either do this with a file or an angle grinder. You are literally just taking off the depth of a pen line so around 10 minutes per slot for filing is about right." }, { "question": "I don’t like the big Brompton bags – do you have anything smaller ?", "answer": "Yes we can supply a compact 6 Ortleib waterproof bag which is really just the size of the battery – you can fit keys and a phone in as well but that will be about it. This is specifically for customers who only want a small, light bag on the front." }, { "question": "I need a big bag to take everything with me on the Brompton – which bag do you recommend ?", "answer": "We can convert any of the Brompton bags to work with the nano system so you have a wide choice. The T bag is the largest with a capacity of 31litres but there are lots of other choices too. Call or email for the full details." }, { "question": "I don’t want a bag for the battery – why can’t it just be on the front ?", "answer": "The nano system is specifically designed to have the battery protected in a bag and to work with either the One click’ Brompton luggage system or a handlebar stem connector on other bikes. We believe the battery should be in a bag and not open to the elements or creating a potential danger if damaged in an accident." }, { "question": "Can I use my existing Brompton bag ?", "answer": "Sure – we have a bag wiring package so your existing bag can be converted for use with the nano system." }, { "question": "Can I buy a pre converted bag from you ?", "answer": "Of course, we have variety of bags in stock and will always buy in anything else as required. These are then available already converted and ready to use." }, { "question": "Can I buy a new Brompton with a nano motor already fitted?", "answer": "Yes - we sell 30 - 40 new Bromptons fitted with a NANO system every year. We are not bike dealers however we have teamed up with some Brompton dealers and between us we can provide you a complete electric Brompton ready to ride in around 10 days depending on the Brompton spec chosen." }, { "question": "Can I buy a used nano ?", "answer": "Sure – they occasionally come up on Ebay, Gumtree etc although do be careful the one you are buying is not stolen. Always ask for the serial number and the frame number. The serial number is at the bottom of the handlebar stem and the frame number is stamped into the steel below that. If the bike is being sold without a bag or battery that is suspicious." }, { "question": "What is the difference between Brompton’s own electric bike and the nano ?", "answer": "Not much in terms of the motor. Lots in terms of our better availability, price and delivery dates. Their operation is on top of the battery and accessed by leaning through the handlebars but the nano throttle options are all easy to access on the handlebars. We fit a pedal sensor so you only have to have the pedals moving to use the motor, whatever speed you are doing. Theirs is a torque sensor so it balances out your effort in with the motor. Overall the view is that the Electric Brompton is a prettier but more expensive and more limited version of a nano ! ! See the A to B article for more information." }, { "question": "What about the motors that fit straight in without having to widen the forks ?", "answer": "There are a couple of systems available now that claim to fit any bike and that the forks don't have to be widened. We have investigated these and in a lot of cases the forks still do need to be widened slights and they include components that we have previously rejected because they don't fit Brompton's properly. You also have to buy their battery set up and in some cases that means not being able to have a bag on the luggage block. All in all we think you should buy a nano system ! ! Tried, trusted and reliable. The UN have designated batteries of this size as dangerous goods. Therefore, they must be shipped in UN approved boxes with special labels and documentation. We ship all batteries in compliance with the UN regulations which means the shipping is more expensive, but it is legal." }, { "question": "I live outside the UK; can I have a NANO motor conversion?", "answer": "We can send kits almost anywhere in the world, although we usually recommend buying the battery locally to avoid the high shipping costs due to the batteries being classed as dangerous goods. Please bear in mind that the fitting instructions are in English and the warranty is on 'Return to base’, so you would be responsible for the cost of any returns." }, { "question": "Do I have to have a license or road tax to ride NANO motor ebike on the roads?", "answer": "In Europe, Australia and most states in America you do not need a license, a test, road tax or MOT to ride an electric bike. Always check your local legislation." }, { "question": "Does fitting the NANO motor affect my bike warranty?", "answer": "Yes, most bike manufacturers will not recognise their warranty once an electric conversion is added to their bike." }, { "question": "What warranty is there for a NANO motor conversion?", "answer": "We offer a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects on the motor system and the battery. This is on a return to base basis, so you must return the bike or parts to us for repair or replacement." }, { "question": "What happens if the something breaks ?", "answer": "We can supply replacement parts such as pedal sensors, brake sensors, throttles etc with information on how to change them over or you can come into one of our workshops for the work to be done. Alternatively almost any bike shop should be able to do this simple repair for you. The NANO motor is in the front wheel which is also one of the easiest to remove of any ebike. We have fitted special waterproof connectors at critical points; one is by the motor, so it is easy to take the wheel off and repair the puncture as normal." }, { "question": "Are the rings a problem ?", "answer": "At one time there was an issue with the motor rings but these have been changed in the last few years resulting in this not being a problem any more.If the ring or the freewheel do go we will replace them free of charge within 12 months or for £85 after that. Just send us the wheel or bring it in for the work to be done. You can tell if you have a problem with the ring as the motor will work when the wheel is in the air but not if it is under any load." }, { "question": "Can I use the bike like an ordinary bike?", "answer": "Yes. If you don't use the throttle at all, then the front wheel free wheels just like a normal bike. Or you can pedal as well as using the motor which gives you greater speed and uses less of the battery’s power, enabling you to go further." }, { "question": "Can a NANO motor be converted back to a normal bike?", "answer": "You can, although we are sure you would not want to. The wiring and components could be easily stripped out but to fit the motor the front forks will have been widened so you would need to replace them with new forks." }, { "question": "I have a dynamo hub at the moment – can I have a nano system ?", "answer": "Sure, we will replace your dynamo hub with the nano motor and we can then fit lighting to run off your nano battery if required.We usually have to replace the front light with one including a regulator but can often use your existing back light. Credit card, bank transfer or cheque.You can also pay by PayPal but there is a 3% surcharge due to their high fees and poor exchange rates." }, { "question": "Does the NANO conversion affect the Brompton fold or the overall size?", "answer": "No, the system is specifically designed for the Brompton, so the fold is completely unaffected. There is also no overall increase in size so will still fit hard sided luggage etc." }, { "question": "I had a NANO conversion a few years ago what are the differences now?", "answer": "The main differences are that the controller is now placed more discretely by the luggage block all the cables are tidier. The brake sensor is attached with Velcro which fits all brake levers. There is a wider choice of batteries and most people now have the smaller, lighter 4Ah batteries (range 8 - 16 miles) which also re-charge in about an hour with an almost silent charger. These batteries use the same in-bag connector. Pedal sensors are also fitted now on all systems to comply with new UK regulations." }, { "question": "Can you increase the power out of my NANO ?", "answer": "No. The power levels are set as per the legal requirements in the UK and to get the best performance from the motor. Customers worldwide find the nano gives them what they need in terms of support from the motor not speed." } ]

[ { "question": "Are there any dangerously venomous spiders in Canada?", "answer": "A. In Canada, according to the experts I contacted, we only have to contend with black widows – there’s the northern black widow, which is locally common in southern Ontario, and the western black widow, which is locally common in areas of southern British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. The good news is that they are not aggressive and tend to bite only when threatened. So take care when working around wood and brush piles. If a black widow spider is about to get trapped or crushed, it will bite in self-defence. Send your wildlife questions to CWF’s conservation researchers, Terri-Lee!
