"question": "Q: What style of Yoga do you teach on the course?",
"answer": "A: We teach no style at all, in fact we don’t actually believe that you can ‘teach’ anyone yoga, you can only facilitate the journey of others! We have tutors with a vast range of experience from Hatha and Vinyasa flow, through to Forrest, Dharma, Jivamukti , Sivananda, Yin and more. We believe that every style has something valuable to offer but that none of them are a perfect fit; therefore we give you the opportunity to draw from them all and your own experience to find something that fits perfectly for you."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why is your course so different from the others that I see?",
"answer": "A: Because we have taken quite a brave step to stop teaching anything that doesn’t resonate truly with us and we aren’t afraid to turn much of ‘traditional yoga’ on its head if we feel that certain aspects aren’t relevant anymore. Expect to hear some hard truths about yoga, what it is really all about and where it actually originated from on this course. We are certainly not in the business of simply transferring ‘yoga facts’ (many of which simply aren’t true) just because everyone else does."
},
{
"question": "Q: Is your course right for me?",
"answer": "A: I have no idea! If you are of an open mind and keen to do a lot of work yourself, exploring what yoga really means to you and developing your own style of practice with our assistance then quite possibly yes. If you want to be taught fixed sequences, chants that you don’t understand and other things to get your future students to mindlessly repeat and copy then no, it is certainly not for you. Try to get along to a workshop or class with Dan or one of the other tutors if you aren’t sure. Although out styles and practices are different we all have the same ethos."
},
{
"question": "Q: I am already a teacher can I join the immersion?",
"answer": "A: Absolutely. We have many existing and experienced yoga teachers on our course. They are generally the type of open minded people that aren’t worried about it being labelled as a ‘200 hour course’. We are confident that you will not have covered the topics that we address in the same way on your previous courses. Often it is only once you start teaching that you realise how limited your understanding is. The teachers to worry about are the ones that think they know everything or should have the answers to every questions! Q: I don’t attend classes very often / at all but I have a very consistent personal practice of yoga."
},
{
"question": "Is that Ok?",
"answer": "A: Of course! It has nothing to do with us how you decide to practice your form of yoga. Going to classes can be a very healthy way to get a variety of views and opinions but absolutely nothing is better than self-motivated immersion and introspection."
},
{
"question": "Q: How will we be assessed?",
"answer": "A: Once you enroll and pay your deposit you will get access to a locked resources page with links to a wealth of useful sites, books, videos and links to help you study. You will also get access to a pass protected assessment page that has all of the assessments. We aren’t interested in how well you can recall the sutras or yoga history. Of course if that is your interest then we encourage you to pursue it, but what we are really concerned about is that you become a safe and authentic teacher, or as we prefer to call it a facilitator. There is a an online anatomy and physiology test that you can take whenever you feel ready, as well as an short essay on yoga history and philosophy so you have a grasp of how we got to where we are now-whether this is one page or 100page the choice is yours. After that we will be observing you guiding the class or smaller groups in short sessions from the second weekend session. In this way we can work with you to help you become the best yoga facilitator that you can possibly be. There is a final assessment where we need to either observe you in person leading a full length class or by video submission. By this time we will already know that you are well on your way to becoming one of those rare magical yoga facilitators! During the course we ask you to keep a journal of your yoga practice, physical , mental and spiritual so that you get in the habit of observing yourself. After completion you will use this information to write a reflective essay on what youga means to you, how that hads changed and where you think you are heading with your version of yoga!"
},
{
"question": "Q: Who is your training accredited by?",
"answer": "A: We simply don't believe that anyone or any organisation can issue a piece of paper that authorises another person to teach yoga. There are teachers out there with hundreds of hours of 'advanced' yoga training who don't have appear to have the slightest grasp of what yoga is about. At the same time there are teachers with absolutely no qualifications whatsoever that are truly inspiring. Yoga cant be quantified, you cant collect 'x' bags of yoga and get good at it, thats not how it works. Accreditation is a peculiar thing, we chose not to be accredited by any of the larger organisations as we think that handing over too much power in to the hands of one body is not healthy for the organic progression of yoga-it also subconsciously devalues any course that isn't accredited b them. Instead we are simply recognised as a training school by the Independent Yoga Network they have an ethos that resonates strongly with us, particularly a ‘dedication to resisting the dilution of the rich and diverse heritage of Yoga through any standardisation of method or dogmatic institutionalisation of particular ideologies or philosophies.’ Phew. Rant over! Basically if you can get insurance you can go out and teach yoga today without any piece of paper at all-not many yoga schools are going to tell you that!"
},
{
"question": "Q: What happens if I can’t make a session or miss one?",
"answer": "A: If you commit to a course in one location we expect you to stick to the dates and we can only allow you to make missed sessions up by advanced agreement if spaces allow it. Any sessions missed that can’t be transferred will have to be made up in your own time, that might incur extra charges for one to one tuition or by contact hours through skype meetings and so on. Generally we have found that most things can be worked around in some way though you must meet the minimum contact hours in some way."
},
{
"question": "Q: What are the timings of the days?",
"answer": "A: We generally run from 9-5 though we often start early and run later as discussions and sessions can get quite interesting! Lunch and any breaks are a very organic thing, they tend to crop up as and when seems natural."
},
{
"question": "Q: Where can I get insured?",
"answer": "A: You can either join the IYN as a student of full member when you qualify and benefit from joining their group insurance or if you prefer not to join the group you can obtain insurance from many other yoga insurers."
},
{
"question": "Q: I want to teach abroad will I be able to?",
"answer": "A: We are not insurers so our advice is informal but in our experience most insurers in the UK including BGi (who cover the IYN policy) will cover you to teach anywhere worldwide except for the U.S.and Canada. Of course you can generally take out yoga insurance from insurers of another country with a simple letter of recommendation from your yoga training school. If this is something that concerns you then we advise you to check with the relevant overseas insurer first."
},
{
"question": "Q:I don’t want to teach yoga right now can I still join the course?",
"answer": "A: Absolutely, in fact it is a great motivation to have at the start. You may or may not find that you want to facilitate the practice of others, but you will enjoy the course without the pressure of any expectations."
},
{
"question": "Q Do I have enough experience to join the course?",
"answer": "A: Only you know the answer to that question! We suggest that students should have at least two years of yoga practice before applying, some have twenty years and everything in between! At the end of the day it is very common for people to take up a yoga practice, feel much better about themselves and want to pass that feeling on to others, however you wouldn’t go to piano lessons for a year and then set up as a teacher would you, however much you enjoyed it. Most of the tutors have been practicing for at least ten years and many in excess of twenty. It takes a long time to understand what yoga is all about and if you aren’t ready then you can accidentally mislead our students. Of course our job is to help you to work that out! A: You can find details of the course fees at the bottom of the relevant London or Devon TT pages. We do offer payment plans if you cannot afford to pay upfront. Please contact us in advance to discuss this, the earlier you start paying instalments, the smaller each instalment needs to be!. Q: I hear that you offer a small number of free places each year."
},
{
"question": "Can I apply for one?",
"answer": "A: True, we don't believe that training should only be available to those that can afford it. We personally fund a small number of places each year. These generally come in by personal recommendation from our tutors or past graduates as they know specifically what we are looking for in such candidates. Sorry but we do not consider unsolicited applications for free places."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why is the Devon Course cheaper?",
"answer": "A: We live here, we know the owners of the spaces that we use and we don’t have to pay the astronomical studio hire charges of the capital and neither do we have to pay for our own accommodation and travel for each session as we do in London. By the same token, there is absolutely no other course in the South West or probably in the UK that has this vast range and breadth of yoga teachers on it."
},
{
"question": "Q: Am I too old /young to apply?",
"answer": "a lot of the photos look like they are full of young people! A: Many of the photos on the website are taken from not only the teacher training but also from workshops over the years so don't be fooled by ages in the photos. In practice we always end up with a wide range of ages and levels of fitness on each intake. As i write this we have a class with the youngest in her mid twenties and the eldest at around 63. We absolutely love this mix as it makes for a wonderfully natural cohort, just as your classes will eventually be a natural mix of all ages."
},
{
"question": "Q: How many people will there be on the course?",
"answer": "A: Compared to most trainings we keep ours very small as it encourages a real feeling of a family unit. At capacity we have 22 students, from experience we generally keep it at around 20 in practice."
},
{
"question": "Q: Who are your tutors and what do they teach?",
"answer": "A: You can find a list of our tutors and their specialities here. Of course not all of the tutors teach on all courses, they each have a huge range of commitments and so we have to work out who can fit in on what dates- unlike most yoga courses that just use two or three tutors, its a real juggling act! What we are very specific about is that no tutors simply 'fill in a gap'. In other words they either teach that subject because they love it with a passion and can transmit that passion to you, or we find someone else that can."
},
{
"question": "Q: How can you afford to use so many tutors when other courses don’t?",
"answer": "A: Because we aren’t interested in becoming rich! Simple as that. We are 100% certain that wealth will not make us any happier but we are absolutely positive that we will be very happy if we look back knowing that we have done something very special for yoga in our lifetime. Whether you believe that or not is up to you!"
},
{
"question": "Q: When will we start teaching?",
"answer": "A: You will be teaching something from the very first session. We are great believers that until we try to teach we can’t possibly understand the things that we don’t know! Your teaching time will gradually increase through the course until you are teaching full classes by the end! Many students decide to set up little classes with their friends, family or other students outside of course hours and this is a great way to learn rapidly what your teaching style is."
},
{
"question": "About half way through the course, assuming that we feel you are safe we will happily provide a letter of recommendation to an insurer so that you can get student yoga insurance to start teaching what you have already learned..\nQ: What would I call my Classes when i qualify?",
"answer": "A: You are welcome to call them 'Yoga Like Water' classes if you wish and if you have checked with us that this is OK. People that offer classes under this name are promising to facilitate and guide a students practice so that the student can also find their perfect way of practicing. It is a sign that you will nurture their practice rather than try to dictate what you feel is best for them; we are very rooted in empowering people through yoga by encouraging thought and self observation, we are very much opposed to teaching students to simply believe anything that we say or do."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do I apply and what happens next?",
"answer": "A: You apply through our online form. First of all please make take a deep breath and make sure that you are serious about taking up a place if you are offered one. We get several applicants each year that apply in a moment of excitement and then when we have taken the time to read and process their application, the reality hits home and they vanish! If the initial application looks to be good then unless one of our tutors knows you very well we will probably then call you for an informal follow up skype or phone chat so that we can make direct contact with you; we might also ask you to attend one of out tutors classes or workshops. If you are successful you will then ned to pay the deposit in order to secure your place on the course and at that time we will open up access to the locked pages on the website. You are now off on your adventure! !"

"question": "Is Serum and Oil the Same Thing?",
"answer": "It can be. The term Serum is used for both aqueous (water-based) and anhydrous (water-free) products. Both may be packaged in a small bottle with dropper or drip applicator (as pictured at the top). Understandably, this can cause confusion. The only way to know what you are purchasing is to check the ingredients list. If you see AQUA anywhere on the list (it is often the first ingredient), then the serum is water-based and not oil-based. A properly formulated face oil blend offers nourishment for the skin and locks in moisture. It melts in quickly leaving the skin feeling velvety smooth without a trace of greasiness. In short, face oil is an effective, multifunctional skincare product that is equally suited to men and women, dry, normal, combination, sensitive, mature, and even oily skin types. It's also ideal for folks who prefer a more fuss-free skincare routine as a good face oil functions as a stand-alone product."
},
{
"question": "But Can Face Oil Be Used With Other Skincare Products?",
"answer": "Absolutely! Even though a good face oil functions as a stand alone product, it is also great as a 'primer' under other products. Apply a face oil blend under cream, lotion, sunscreen, make-up – anything you normally apply to your face and neck. It only takes a few drops to do the job! In this day and age of slathering, correctly dosing a face oil seems to be the most difficult thing to adjust to. For 1 application to face and neck, only 5-8 drops are needed. The bottles pictured at the top are a mere 30 ml (approx 1 oz), but last up to 6 months with daily application to face and neck if dosed correctly. In short: less is more when it comes to face oil. For optimal effect, apply face oil immediately after cleansing while the skin is still damp. If you use skin tonic, apply it before face oil. Add a few drops (5-8) to the palm of your hand. Warm the oil between palms and apply to the face with gentle upward strokes. Massage the face and neck gently."
},
{
"question": "Which One is Best?",
"answer": "A face oil does not have to be a blend. If you have allergies, budget issues, or problems sourcing some ingredients, it is indeed possible to use a single oil as a face oil. However, there is no one 'best oil'. Each oil has its own special properties. If you want to try a face oil using a single carrier oil, try Apricot Kernel, Sweet Almond, Avocado, Olive, or Jojoba. These are all generally well tolerated."
},
{
"question": "If One Oil is Enough, Why Bother Making a Blend?",
"answer": "A blend is created to offer extra nourishment, additional properties, and to include oil-soluble actives to the mix."
},
{
"question": "How Do You Compose a Good Face Oil?",
"answer": "To create a successful face oil blend, you should be familiar with each ingredient in the mix and know how it will react when combined with the other ingredients. You must also be familiar with the requirements of the skin you are creating the blend for. In short: it takes both practice and a healthy passion for the ingredients to create a satisfactory blend. If you lack experience but have passion, then you've got the ideal starting point! The rest is 'just' practice. The more you work with different carrier (and essential) oils, the better you will be able to compose a successful blend."
},
{
"question": "Want to know more about carrier/fixed oils?",
"answer": "Check out this fabulous book : a must-have for enthusiasts of all things lipid! Hi Lisa - I love this post! I have been formulating my own face oils and are curious what oil soluble additives / actives you like to add to your blends. All of the neat extracts I have gotten thus far are all water soluble. Hi Molly - Thanks for your kind words! You asked about oil soluble actives for your face oil blends. You might introduce specialty oils such as nigella seed, raspberry seed or pomegranate. E vitamin and A vitamin are both oil soluble, and then there are the possibilities of creating your own herb-infused oils as well. There are also many oil soluble extracts available. I've seen oil-soluble marine extracts as well as herb-based extracts. Finally, you have essential oils - multifunctional powerhouses that can add a real boost to your face oils. Have fun with it! Hey Molly! these are just some starting points, but i love adding alpha-lipoic acid powder @ a usage rate of 5% (b/c i read a study that elucidated all the benefits to wrinkly skin from using a 5% cream specifically(i should have a source here, but i can't recall where i read it; however, i took notes & it was @ a university, peer-reviewed, double-blind, good # of actual human volunteers, w/a control group, published in some respectable journal, etcetc))..it blends in 'like butta', & i think it does so @ room temp (i've read that it snot-wads into rubber cement when you heat it)..also, i have a curcumin extract powder that's oil-soluble, but you have to be super careful w/this or it'll dye your skin, temporarily, orange or yellow..also, co-q10 has some great benefits & is also oil-soluble. I get my extract powders @ bulksupplements.com & purebulk.com, b/c they're sooo much cheaper & pure, hi-quality powders w/no fillers & both have free shipping after 49$..both have huge amounts of awesome niacinamide, dmae bitartrate, & the best instructions & quality & $ for 1% hyaluronic acid gel (this would be the hi-molecular weight), & 1 of them has vegan h.a., if that's important to you. Apologies Suki-san! I accidentally deleted your comment but managed to find the text. I love oils. I`m using the Oil Cleansing Method (castor oil+ infused oils- at the moment lavender and daisy infused oil) , hydrating hydrosols (lavender, rose or neroli) and facial oil serum blends. I do my own infused oils and blends. That`s what i call love <3. Greetings from Slovenia. Thank you Lisa for writing this blog post. Your blog is so informative and feeds my creativity. I am working through my first course at Formula Botanica and your blog helps me out. I think carrier/seed oils are fascinating! I have been reading Power of the Seed: Your Guide to Oils for Health & Beauty and it is a great book. I happened to see mention of this book on a instagram feed and picked it up. I am glad I did. Hey there @anon from Slovenia: thank you for your kind comment and great input. Using herbal infused oils for cleasing sounds fabulous! @Elisabeth: You are off to a great start studying with Formula Botanica and Susans book Power of the Seed really is a great resource! @Diane: Good choice of oil - it’s a bit of a challenge formulating for rosecea but it sounds like you’ve found what works for you - excellent!"

},
{
"question": "Who are the Faculty Leading the UCF REU Site?",
"answer": "The Belize REU Site is an extension of Dr. Timothy L. Hawthorne’s previous Community Geography and GIS REU Site in Atlanta, GA (2012-2015) and the Belize GIS Exchange Program led by Drs. Hawthorne and Visaggi (2011-2016). The faculty leads are internationally-recognized scholars, are committed to student mentoring, have vast experience in international research and teaching, and have a passion for their work. Timothy L. Hawthorne (PhD in Geography, The Ohio State University) is the Principal Investigator of Belize REU Site. Tim is trained in community geography and GIS, PGIS, mixed methods, and geographic education. Tim is an Assistant Professor of Geographic Information Systems in a new, high-profile GIS Cluster Initiative at the University of Central Florida. Tim was PI of the nation’s first REU Site in Community Geography and GIS where he mentored 42 students (NSF Award #1156755). His community geography, GIS, and STEM education work has been funded by several additional sources, including the National Geographic Society and the Verizon Foundation. In early August 2015, he was named The National Geographic Educator of the Week. Previously at GSU, he received the GSU Honors College’s most prestigious distinction being named the 2015 Faculty Undergraduate Research Mentor of the Year. In 2010 he received the AAG’s national award for his work with students and community partners in his cartography and GIS service learning course. Hawthorne has traveled to Belize on 15 separate research trips and is the Program Director for the Belize GIS research study abroad course and co-founder of the Belize GIS Exchange. Christy C. Visaggi (PhD in Marine Biology, University of North Carolina Wilmington) is the Co-Principal Investigator of the Belize REU Site, but is not involved with the Summer 2019 REU supplemental grant for the drone mapping and spatial storytelling team. Christy is a former Ford Foundation Fellow and inaugural University Teaching Fellow at Georgia State University. She is trained in geology and marine biology with work focused in paleobiology, community ecology, and science education. Christy co-mentored 27 students from 2008-2010 in field and lab research through a Biodiversity Conservation REU (NSF Award #0755109). She co-led the GSU Belize study abroad course (2013-2015), instituted mapping of shoreline litter and reef diversity/health, co-directed GSU Honors and M.S. theses in Belize, and co-founded BGX. She has received awards for promoting underrepresented groups in STEM and her contributions to large-scale collaborative projects include the development of international databases for natural resources. Dr. Hannah Torres (PhD in Geography and Environmental Science and Policy, University of South Florida) is a Faculty Mentor in the Belize REU Site. Dr. Torres has contributed to multiple NSF research grants including work on a project about climate change adaptation and resilience (metropole.marine.usf.edu) as well as her current work on a project about restoration and sense of place in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida (http://sciences.ucf.edu/sociology/cnhcc/). She also created an app to document inland sources of marine litter through a NOAA-funded project to prevent marine debris through outreach and education. Dr. Torres has earned awards for teaching excellence in a STEM field, having taught a variety of undergraduate courses including cultural geography, geography of Latin America, water resources management, and environmental science, which included a field component in the Florida Keys. Dr. Torres’ research is interdisciplinary, and centered around the themes of environmental sustainability, disaster resilience, and human-nature interactions."

{
"question": "Are the Faculty Prepared to Lead Me in Belize?",
"answer": "The project team recognizes the challenges of conducting community-based research in an international setting, especially since the PI and Co-PI have already navigated these challenges successfully in five years of the BGX program and in the 3 years of the REU Site. Such challenges include: researcher positionality, length of stay in the study site, educational and cultural barriers, local knowledge or lack thereof, insider/outsider perspectives, health/safety concerns, interpersonal conflicts, and ethical treatment of human subjects. Having an existing relationship with UB faculty and students and the Smithsonian, and strong pre-program training can mitigate some of the challenges. The PI and his team expect and understand these challenges, but do not take them lightly. In fact, the PI and his colleagues have published on such obstacles in one of geography’s most prestigious journals, The Annals of the Association of American Geographers, offering the first account of a methodology known as “critical reflection mapping” connecting journaling, critical reflection, and sketch mapping. The methodology provides foreign researchers (including undergraduates from the PI’s previous Belize programs) an opportunity to discuss the challenges/emotions faced as they engage in community geography research abroad. The PI also wrote the first article on the challenges of international community geography with students in The Journal of Geography in Higher Education. Faculty mentors are committed to community-based geospatial research and undergraduate teaching/mentoring across disciplines. The PI and Co-PI have six years of experience working in Belize and have developed an extensive network to ensure success and safety for students. Importantly, members of the project team met in Belize 11 times in 2011-2015 to finalize goals, roles, and expectations of the BGX program and to complete small, collaborative pilot projects with students related to this program."

{
"question": "Who are Our International Partners?",
"answer": "We will work closely with several communities, community scholars/residents, and research partners in Belize, including the: University of Belize, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystems Program, The Hopkins Village Council, and The Institute for International Urban Development."
},
{
"question": "What is Belize Really Like?",
"answer": "Size: Due to Belize’s small size—roughly comparable to the state of Massachusetts—multiple fieldwork locations are accessible to REU students. Only 2.5 hours flight time from Orlando, Belize is accessible, relatively inexpensive, and a uniquely different international experience for students. English is freely spoken as the official national language and the American dollar is widely accepted, providing a certain level of comfort to students. Language: English is the official language of Belize and is freely spoken in all of our study locations. Additional languages including Spanish, Mayan, Creole and other many other local dialects will also be observed in Belize. Many Belizeans will move freely between multiple languages within the same conversation. Currency: The Belizean dollar has a flat exchange rate of 2 Belizean Dollars to 1 US Dollar. US Dollars are accepted in all locations (and often preferred), though your change will likely be in Belizean dollars. Food: The food is fresh and delicious! Depending on the locations visited you will likely experience the traditional Belizean meals including rice and beans and stew chicken. There are vegetarian options in most places and tons of fresh seafood. The food is one of the best parts of the Belizean experience from what we have been told by our students. Meals do take more time to prepare than in the US, so expect meal times to last longer than usual. Weather: Students can expect it to be very hot, humid and sunny with temperatures in the upper 90’s with heavy, short bursts of rain throughout portions of the day. Living Conditions: All REU housing quarters are safe, modest, and well maintained in locations where the PI and Co-PI have visited with students in the past. Think of the locations as field stations, budget hotels/motels with modest accommodations, including beds, shower/toilet, and possible ceiling fans. The water is treated (or bottled) at all housing locations so it is safe to drink. Fieldwork Locations: Belize is a beautiful and diverse landscape. Most of REU Site will include locations along the coast in the village of Hopkins and on several cayes (islands) in Belize. The Village of Hopkins is on the Caribbean in the Stann Creek District of Belize, which is rich in Garifuna cultural traditions. Wifi, Phones, and Technology: Most of our site locations will not have wifi access especially on the islands (except possibly in the common area). The wifi situation is very, very different than what you are used to in the U.S. When available, speeds are slow. Video streaming does not work very well most times. Skype and Google Chat will work in Belize when Wifi is strong. International calling, texting, etc can be worked out with your individual cell phone provider before you arrive in Belize, or you can purchase a phone plane in Belize from a local carrier during the trip. The REU will provide the team with one shared Belizean cell phone for in-country calls. Health and Safety: Health concerns are an individual choice, but as a foreign traveler, one should always consider consulting with a healthcare provider at least two months in advance of travel for proper advice and potential immunizations. The CDC offers a guide for foreign travelers to Belize @ http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/belize."

{
"question": "Science Users Information > Data Handling and Products > Data Reduction FAQ > What is the best way to reduce UVB/VIS NODDING data?",
"answer": "For UVB and VIS data the sky background is much lower than for NIR data. Therefore the subtraction of the NODDING frames from each other may add unnecessary noise to the target's spectrum. If the sky background is comparable or lower than the target's flux you will usually get better results if you reduce the NODDING data with the xsh_scired_slit_stare recipe. This recipe fits the sky background and therefore does not introduce additional noise with the sky correction. To do so with the Reflex workflow use for the DataOrganiser the OCA file xsh_wkf_stare.oca instead of the default one xsh_wkf.oca. This is done by right-clicking on the DataOrganiser, selecting Configure Actor, replacing the name of the OCA file in the first line of the pop-up window and clicking on Commit. This change will result in the pipeline processing the data individually with the xsh_scired_slit_stare recipe."

"question": "How long is an Acupuncture appointment?",
"answer": "The first appointment is approximately 1 hour and includes a consultation, examination and is followed by the first acupuncture treatment. Follow up acupuncture appointments are approximately 1 hour as well. Please fill out our online forms and have your veterinarian fax or email the medical records/x-rays for Dr. Toolan’s review prior to your first visit. 2."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take for acupuncture to work?",
"answer": "The effects of acupuncture are cumulative, such that a sequence of treatment sessions is recommended. Frequency of treatment sessions will vary with each patient and disease. Acupuncture can take 3-5 treatments before changes are seen, so it is important to commit to a schedule in order for the treatments to have the desired effects. Many people wonder if animals need to be sedated to receive acupuncture. Almost all animals tolerate acupuncture well; many do not react to the needles at all and actually fall asleep during treatment. 4."
},
{
"question": "Is Herbal Medicine safe?",
"answer": "the herbs I use are formulations containing multiple herbs that work together to treat a specific condition. All the herbs I use are from a company called Dr. Xie’s Jing Tang Herbal, based in Reddick, FL. Dr. Huisheng Xie, DVM, Ph.D, MS, is the owner and herbologist with over 25 years of experience. Quality Control is most important to preserve the safety and efficacy of these herbal formulas which do not contain any heavy metals or material from endangered species. With few exceptions, Chinese Herbal Medicine can be used in conjunction with Western medications, have minimal to no side effects and are well accepted by most animals. 5."
},
{
"question": "What is Food Therapy?",
"answer": "The saying, “You are what you eat” is central to the TCVM theory of Food Therapy. Food Therapy is the use of foods to help potentiate or enhance the effects of acupuncture and herbal medicine to treat and prevent disease. All foods have an energy associated with them; i.e., temperature such as warming or cooling, and taste such as sweet, sour, pungent, salty or bitter. The effects of Food Therapy are slower than acupuncture of herbal medicine, but work with these modalities to balance the body. Finally, owners enjoy being able to participate in and contribute to the healing process of their pet. Tui-na, or Chinese Therapeutic Massage, was first practiced in China in 1600 BC. The formal name, Tui-Na-An-Mo, is known by various names depending on the region in China and the techniques in popular use there. Tui-na, as it is known in South China, refers to pushing and lifting techniques, while in northern China the term An-Mo is used to refer to acupressure, massage and other specialized techniques. It is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) to enhance the effects of the other branches of acupuncture and herbal lmedicine to treat and prevent disease. Specifically, the techniques used can help balance the body’s energy by tonifying areas that are deficient and sedating areas that are in excess. Also, in TCVM, where there is pain in the body there is a blockage of Qi and blood circulation. Tui-na techniques unblock and improve circulation of Qi and blood and thereby reduce pain. They can also improve organ and immune system function. Prior to acupuncture, I will do a short session to help soften and loosen the tissues. I can do an entire session of just Tui-na. Some pets do not like the acupuncture needles but enjoy the Tui-na techniques. I will also do acupuncture in one area of the body and Tui-na in another area or for another problem. Finally, many owners would like to be able to do more to help their pets. The owner can be taught a few techniques appropriate to their pet’s condition. These can be done daily at home in between appointments."

"question": "What is and how do I access my Portal?",
"answer": "You can access Your Portal here using the email address and password you provided. Your Portal is your personal online space. It is where we show you the information gathered by the box, including how many miles you have used and how many remain. You can also see how many Bonus Miles you have earned, buy Top Up Miles, renew your policy and access your policy documents and any saved quotes. You can cancel your policy at any time by calling us on 0330 022 2202*. Cancellation can take effect immediately or from a later date. Cancellation cannot be backdated to an earlier date. Provided you have not made a claim, or one has not been made against you, you will be entitled to receive a refund of premium including any premium paid for Top up Miles, less: a charge on a proportionate basis for the period of policy cover that you have already received, or the miles used, which ever amount is higher; and a cancellation charge as shown in the policy documentation and online, please be aware this would apply in the 14 day cooling off period as well. Please refer to your Policy document for full details. Calls may be recorded. *This number may be included as part of any inclusive call minutes provided by your phone operator. Top Up Miles are additional miles you can buy if you need more miles (on top of your Policy Miles). If you need to buy Top Up Miles you are required to pay straightaway – it is not possible to pay in instalments or delay payment. You can use most major credit and debit cards and it can be done online via Your Portal on the Top Up Miles page, or by phone on 0330 022 2202*. You can buy Top Up Miles in bundles of 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 miles at any time during the term of your policy. The cost of Top Up Miles depends on the price of your policy - this is called your cost per mile rate and it was set when you took out your policy, changed your details, or when you renewed. You can see the price of your Top Up Miles bundles on the Top Up Miles page in Your Portal and also on your Car Insurance Schedule. Calls may be recorded. *This number may be included as part of any inclusive call minutes provided by your phone operator. Our fees are as follows: £30 if your policy is cancelled, and a telematics box (an in-tele-box) has not been fitted to your car £80 if your policy is cancelled, and an in-tele-box has already been fitted to your car, or had been fitted to a car you previously insured with Tesco Bank Box Insurance £90 if you change your car £20 if you change your address, or add/remove a driver to/from your policy These fees are in addition to any premium charge. If you make more than one change at the same time you will only have to pay one fee - whichever is the highest. The Black Box fitted to the insured car collects a wide range of data, when the car is moving and when it is stationary, such as: Date/Time: this helps us to understand what time of day the car is driven. Locational data: this helps to understand what roads are driven on and the location of the vehicle when it is moving or stationary. It also supports the Theft Tracking service. Speed, Acceleration and braking data: this helps us to understand how smooth the driving style is. Accident Detection: this records any sudden impacts on the vehicle, monitoring any heavy braking or harsh acceleration. We will post a summary of your driving data on Your Portal, where you will be able to see Bonus Miles awarded to you for positive driving behaviour. Please note that we are aware that occasionally you will have no alternative but to use your brakes severely to avoid an accident; occasional use of “hard” braking will not be scored against you. We are looking at a number of factors to give an overall assessment of driving. Yes you will be insured to drive your car from the moment your policy starts; you do not have to wait for the box to be fitted. However it is important that you have the box fitted within 14 days from the date you bought your policy or your policy will be cancelled.

You can earn up to 100 Bonus Miles each month by driving safely. We calculate your Bonus Miles using information from the box in your car. The safety factors we consider include speed, time of day, smooth driving, taking breaks on long journeys and the type of road you drive on. You can also earn more Bonus Miles by using the motorway more often. The motorway is statistically safer than other types of road, so we reward customers who drive more of their miles this way. Bonus Miles help us work out how much you pay when you renew. They let you prove you are a safe driver and allow us to treat you as an individual. Bonus Miles are awarded on a monthly basis and will appear in Your Portal seven days after the policy month has ended."

{
"question": "What happens if I do not want my driving monitored with Box Insurance?",
"answer": "It is a condition of your policy that you have a box fitted, and doing so can have many benefits for you as a driver. The box lets you prove you are a safe driver and lets us treat you as an individual. We can reward safe driving with Bonus Miles and a more accurate price at renewal. We will not release your driving information to the police or to any civil authorities without a court order, unless we have your permission or we suspect fraud. If you take out a policy but don't have a box fitted your policy may be cancelled and a cancellation fee applied.

If using the UK/International edition of Exl-Plan and you need to change the default description of the tax from VAT to, say, GST, the procedure is to (a) unprotect all worksheets via *Protection | Unprotect All Worksheets and then (b) search/replace VAT by GST in all worksheets. If using the US/Canadian edition, the description can be directly changed from within the M_T worksheet. Q."

"question": "Can I get my dividends direct credited?",
"answer": "Most of Infratil's shareholders have their dividends and Bond interest coupons direct credited to their bank accounts. To arrange for your dividends/interest to be direct credited, please contact Link and notify them as to the account you want the sums credited to and your shareholder details. Or if you prefer update your details online by visiting Link's Investor Centre."
},
{
"question": "Does Infratil have a dividend reinvestment scheme?",
"answer": "Yes this was announced in April 2010. When a dividend is declared by Infratil it will be announced if the Plan will apply (i.e Infratil can elect to paying only cash dividends). Infratil has not applied the Plan to dividends since 2013. Please click here to read details of the scheme."
},
{
"question": "Could you give a brief summary of the New Zealand tax treatment of investors?",
"answer": "Capital gains on equity securities are generally not taxed in New Zealand unless an investor is in the business of dealing in the securities or had the dominant purpose of resale for profit when the security was purchased. The rate of NRWT applying to dividends depends on whether the dividends have imputation credits attached. To the extent that dividends paid to non-resident shareholders are “fully imputed” (i.e. 28 cents of imputation credits are attached for every 72 cents of cash dividend), Infratil will not be required to deduct any non-resident withholding tax (NRWT) from the dividends (as long as the shareholder holds less than 10% of the total Infratil shares on issue). It is Infratil’s policy that all dividends should be fully imputed. The rate of NRWT applying to interest varies depending on the resident country of the investor. It is usually either 10% or 15%. However, Infratil registers all of its bonds under the approved issuer levy (AIL) regime, which is an alternative to deducting non-resident withholding tax (NRWT). Due to a law change effective from 7 May 2012, all coupon interest paid by Infratil to non-resident bondholders qualifies to have AIL deducted at a rate of 0% (prior to 7 May 2012 the rate was 2%). In practice, this means that there are no longer any taxes withheld or levies imposed on coupon interest paid by Infratil to non-resident bondholders. The New Zealand recipient of dividend income may offset their New Zealand income tax obligation on that income if imputation credits were attached to the dividend. Imputation credits reflect income tax paid by the company and may be attached up to the level of corporate tax paid (28%). Non-New Zealand recipients may also benefit from imputation credits as, to the extent dividends are fully imputed and the shareholder holds less than 10% of the total Infratil shares on issue, no NRWT will be deducted as described above."
},
{
"question": "Is there anything I can do to change the rate at which New Zealand Resident Withholding Tax (RWT) is deducted from dividends or interest paid to me?",
"answer": "If you provide your IRD number to the share/bond registry (Link Market Services at: PO Box 384, Ashburton), you can ask them to deduct RWT from your interest at either 10.5%, 17.5%, 28%, 30% or 33% as appropriate. The registry is required to deduct RWT from dividends at the flat rate of 33% (less imputation credits attached). Alternatively, if you have a valid exemption certificate you should send it to the registry and it will not deduct any New Zealand RWT from your interest or dividends."
},
{
"question": "As a non-New Zealand resident bondholder, what New Zealand tax do I pay on interest received from the Bonds?",
"answer": "Infratil registers all of its bonds under the approved issuer levy (AIL) regime, which is an alternative to deducting non-resident withholding tax (NRWT). Due to a law change effective from 7 May 2012, all coupon interest paid by Infratil to non-resident bondholders qualifies to have AIL deducted at a rate of 0% (prior to 7 May 2012 the rate was 2%). In practice, this means that there are no longer any taxes withheld or levies imposed on coupon interest paid by Infratil to non-resident bondholders."
},
{
"question": "What do imputation credits mean to New Zealand resident shareholders?",
"answer": "Imputation credits effectively match the New Zealand income tax paid by the company. To avoid double taxation of dividends, imputation credits can be transferred to shareholders to reduce or eliminate the tax shareholders have to pay on dividends. Full imputation means providing 28 cents of imputation credits for every 72 cents of cash dividend that is received in the hand by the shareholder. At this level of imputation all resident shareholders who pay income tax at the rate of 28% or less will not have to pay any further New Zealand income tax. New Zealand resident shareholders who pay tax at the highest New Zealand tax rate of 33% will be required to pay a further 5 cents for each $1.00 of gross income (i.e. to leave them with a net 67 cents of cash in the hand). This additional tax will be covered by RWT that Infratil is required to deduct from the dividend. If less than 28 cents of imputation credits were provided (with every 72 cents of cash dividend), the dividend would not be “fully imputed” and all resident shareholders that have a marginal tax rate that is higher than the imputation credits attached would also be required to pay additional New Zealand income tax. Again, this additional tax will be covered by RWT deducted by Infratil from the dividend. In any event, it is Infratil’s policy that all dividends should be fully imputed."
},
{
"question": "What do imputation credits mean to non-New Zealand resident shareholders?",
"answer": "To the extent that dividends paid to non-resident shareholders are “fully imputed” (i.e. 28 cents of imputation credits are attached for every 72 cents of cash dividend), the company will not be required to deduct any non-resident withholding tax (NRWT) from the dividends (as long as the shareholder holds less than 10% of the total Infratil shares on issue). Whether New Zealand imputation credits reduce overseas shareholders tax liability in countries other than New Zealand depends on the tax laws of the relevant country. You should ask your taxation adviser for specific advice."
},
{
"question": "What is the price?",
"answer": "All of the Infratil Bonds are listed on the NZX and most trade on a regular basis. Mainly however investors hold to maturity so trading is much less than for Infratil’s shares. This website has bids/offers and the last price of listed bonds, including all those issued by Infratil. The secondary market price tends to reflect the number of buyers and sellers and will tend to fluctuate over time."
},
{
"question": "What happens on the maturity of Infratil Bonds?",
"answer": "Because the Bonds are convertible debt obligations (with the exception as noted above of the Perpetuals and the new issue) Infratil has the right to either repay the Bonds with cash or to redeem the Bonds by issuing Infratil shares. In certain situations (which are detailed in the Investment Statements and Prospectus) Bondholders may demand redemption for shares. In each case when Infratil Bonds have matured they have been repaid for cash."

"question": "Where is SUNY Canton and what is there to do in the area?",
"answer": "SUNY Canton is located in the northern part of New York State, also known as the “The North Country.” The North Country is identified as the region between Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain in breadth and the St. Lawrence River to the Adirondack Mountains lengthwise. The North Country is a place of history and abundant with outdoor recreation activities including skiing, fishing, hunting, and many hiking and snowmobile trails. Canton is St. Lawrence’s county seat and borders along the Grasse River. Canton is a quaint village with a small town atmosphere that is ideal to raise a family and perfect for all levels of research and education. SUNY Canton is within walking distance to the downtown area where there are shops, cafes, a library, museums and a movie theater. Canton is also home to St. Lawrence University. Our neighboring village, Potsdam, is home to SUNY Potsdam and Clarkson University. All colleges have many sporting and entertainment events open to the public. SUNY Canton is a short distance from our neighbor to the north, Canada. A day trip or a weekend spent in Canada’s Capitol, Ottawa, or the beautiful city of Montreal is a great way to relax and enjoy the many activities they offer. We are also approximately one and half hours away from beautiful Lake Placid, home of the 1980 Winter Olympics, where you can enjoy skiing, shopping and many other events.

"question": "Can you help?",
"answer": "In most cases, yes. Depending on where the review is, it may be possible to appeal it with the review site. For example, if the person leaving the review was not, in fact, a client of your law firm, you may be able to get it removed. If the review lacks any real substance, is inflammatory or offensive, or otherwise does not meet the requirements of the review site, you may also be able to appeal it. Because our team is familiar with the policies of many prominent review sites, we can certainly help you reach out and report or appeal a review if you have legitimate grounds to do so. Sometimes, removing a negative review isn’t an option. In cases where negative reviews cannot be taken down, it may be in your best interest to respond to the review if the option exists. We have some advice about that in our article, “Responding to Negative Reviews: Sticks, Stones, and Solutions.” We also have expert writers and editors on staff who can craft nuanced responses that align with your law firm’s voice and messaging, and they can help you respond appropriately in a way that paints your firm in the best light possible. In some instances, the option to respond is not available; for example, if a person wrote a negative review on their blog. Another approach — one that we usually pursue before responding or asking a hosting site to take down a review — involves reaching out to the person who has written the review to see if you can remedy the situation. This is the preferred method for many reasons: you can turn that negative review into a positive one by following up, you will receive better word-of-mouth referrals from the person, etc. Our team can go beyond crafting a compelling message to the reviewer by using marketing automation to track whether that person has read your email and automatically send a follow-up if they haven’t. Concurrently with any of these strategies, we can use email marketing and other techniques to follow up with your satisfied clients to solicit positive reviews that can outweigh any negative ones."
},
{
"question": "Q: How should I follow up with leads that come in?",
"answer": "This is one of the most challenging aspects of our job as a marketing agency for law firms. We can get potential clients to fill out forms, make phone calls, reach out via chat, and engage with your firm in many other ways, but once we hand them off, follow-up is in our clients’ hands. Some of our clients are very good about lead follow-up; they have built systems and hired intake specialists to chase down and evaluate potential clients’ cases. Other firms, especially smaller ones, struggle to follow up with leads in a timely and effective way, which means their marketing dollars that produce these leads may be going to waste. Thanks to our years of experience working with law firms across the country, we can discuss your lead follow-up procedures and help you identify ways to more effectively turn the leads we deliver into clients for your law firm. We can also help you identify ways to make your in-house processes more efficient, which we call intake optimization."

Our priority is always your firm’s growth and success.

"question": "So why would such an important field of science want to allow random people to help them, when the exact same results can be achieved with a supercomputer?",
"answer": "First of all, let's differentiate between a supercomputer and a collection of computers from all around the world. In essence, there is no difference, other than geographical location."
},
{
"question": "How is that useful?",
"answer": "As most distributed computing projects are not-for-profit, we volunteers save them heap of money in hiring a supercomputer. Considering that the combined power of so many volunteers is generally greater than most supercomputers in existence, the overall progress made is even higher."
},
{
"question": "So why is it that we can be trusted to help, then?",
"answer": "Simple. We aren't actually doing any of the work. Our computers are. Of course! Hardware compatability and minimum performance requirements are very lax. For example, Folding@Home can work with hardware as old as a Pentium III, while Majestic-12 depends on your internet connection, rather than the power of your CPU and GPU. There are plenty of projects, and at least one of them will be right for your computer's hardware. However, there are instances where your hardware won't work. These are usually caused by unstable hardware, such as from excessive overclocking, in which case, you may simply lower your overclocking settings. Alternatively, the hardware in question could simply be damaged or worn out from old age, and thus, irreversibly unstable for the purposes of distributed computing. Short answer: Yes. After all, you're running your hardware at full load. Of course, your hardware should be able to take the temperatures at full load, as that's what they were designed to do. In any case, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the temperatures during your first few minutes of usage. If the temperatures approach within 10 degrees (C) of the maximum temperature for your hardware, set the maximum usage setting to less than 100% of processor usage. Remember, this only applies to projects that use this hardware. Projects such as Majestic-12 and DIMES, which use your internet, rather than your CPU or GPU, will not affect your temperatures. You are not limited to running any of these projects on just one computer. Naturally, any computer you own can be used under your name. However, if the computer is not your own, you should first get permission from the owner to install anything. This is especially important in the workplace environment, as people have been severely reprimanded for installing without permission. Note that the maximum power will of course be higher than idle power. If you are unsure of your hardware's power consumption, a review website should give you these values, as long as they measure the actual power of the hardware, and not the total system power usage. The latter can easily quadruple your final value and lead to an incorrect figure. If you can't find information about the power consumption of your hardware, don't hesitate to post in our forums or drop by our IRC channel. Regarding efficiency, most PSUs will have an 80PLUS efficiency rating from Ecova Plug Load Solutions. If you know your PSU make and model, pick your country's voltage and search for your model from the list, to find the efficiency rating. Typical values for efficiency will be between 0.8 to 0.95. Most units are about 0.8, so use that value if you are unsure. The lower the value, the higher the power consumption. This calculator assumes you are using your computer normally, at 100% processing power. With that assumption made, your actual computer usage (your gaming, browsing, etc.) is not factored in, and so whatever value shown here should be the most that you would pay extra as a result of folding. Heavy gamers, for instance, will have a lower real value, since the computer diverts power from folding, to your game. As an example, if you were to fold for 12 hours per day with an i5 2500K CPU, at $0.15 per KW-h on a 0.8 efficiency PSU, your monthly bill would have a maximum of $4.20 extra on it. If you would like to find the cost of running a dedicated computer, add the maximum power consumption of the entire system to the first field and leave the second field at 0. I set up a project."
},
{
"question": "What now?",
"answer": "Thats it! With the exception of Foldit or Wildlfe@Home, which of course require user interaction, these programs are designed to never bother you once you have set them up. Depending on your settings, you can limit the amount of resources they use, in case they do somehow interfere with your usage, or tweak the advanced settings to get the most out of what you have, but other than that, you are finished! Depending on what project(s) you are working on, you may be able to install other programs for other projects. You may be wondering whether or not you could simply install all the programs to work on every project. This is highly discouraged, as it would be counter-productive. Ideally, to maximise the potential of your computer, work on one project that uses the CPU, then another project that uses your GPU, and then another that uses your internet. The most popular combination for this is Folding@Home, Majestic-12, and DIMES. Folding@Home will use your CPU and GPU, while Majestic-12 and DIMES will use your internet. It is important to note that Majestic-12 should only be run on unlimited data plans. Otherwise, you will find your speed capped in no time at all. If you are looking to improve performance in projects already installed, you may wish to browse our forums for threads on optimising project performance (or make a thread, if your project hasn't been covered). For all CPU and GPU projects, overclocking would be the best way to increase output. You can keep up to date with results from Folding@Home here, along with any further information from the blog of Vijay Pande (founder of Folding@Home). World Community Grid news can be found on the World Community Grid homepage. Majestic-12 news can be found on the Majestic-12 homepage. Alternatively, you can follow Brony@Home on Twitter, or periodically check out the news feed on the homepage."

"question": "Sounds like a silly question, doesn't it?",
"answer": "Most people associate proteins with muscles, but proteins are in fact some of the most important, verstile aspects to life in literally everything that gets done within a living organism. A protein is a combination of amino acids, which are molecules created with the aid of a DNA product known as mRNA. Each cell in our bodies make their own proteins in organelles within themselves, called ribosomes. Without proteins, even the most basic forms of life would not exist. Proteins have many uses within our bodies, from giving structure and strength to bones, skin and blood vessels, to allowing our immune system to recognise and kill invading organisms. They allow cells to move, and permit the selective passage of material such as nutrients and waste through their membranes and cell walls. When a protein is created in a ribosome, it emerges as an unbuilt string. Before a protein can be put to use, it must first build itself from its initial string-like state. This process is referred to as 'folding'. Different proteins will take on different shapes, structures and composition, depending on what their purpose will be. As such, the purpose of Folding@Home is to simulate these different proteins, from their unfolded states, to their final products, and take into account all the possible variables that may cause the final product of the protein to be incorrect. The need to understand protein folding is twofold. Firstly, and quite simply, we do not understand it very well. Secondly, when a protein does not assemble itself correctly, or 'misfold', it can lead to a plethora of health complications, either directly, or indirectly. Some proteins may misfold and clump up in the brain to form the toxic substances believed to be the cause of Alzheimer's Disease, and others may lead to cancerous growths. By understanding how and why these problems arise in the first place, the knowledge gained may lead to better treatments, or preventative medicine. The time taken for a protein to fold is on the microsecond scale (a millionth of a second). However, the time taken to simulate the assembly of one protein would take years, because not only is the final structure important, but also the process which gets it there. The most time consuming part of simulating proteins is the actual assembly stage, because there are so many variables involved, that something that takes place over such a short period of time will become mind-bogglingly complex. All these variables must be taken into account and simulated as well, as diseases related to misfolding are believed to be caused by something which must have happened during this stage. The solution to this simulation time issue is simple: Distributed computing. Split up the work that needs to be done into many smaller pieces, then allow volunteers to use their computers to work on them."

"question": "Or, if you are over 65, will Medicare pay for all your medical expenses?",
"answer": "These are questions that consumers are asking in today’s turbulent healthcare marketplace; and these questions aren’t always easy to answer. This document should help. It discusses the basic forms of health coverage and includes a checklist to help you compare plans. It answers some commonly asked questions and also includes thumbnail descriptions of other forms of health insurance, including hospital-surgical policies, specified disease policies, catastrophic coverage, hospital indemnity insurance, and disability, long-term care, and Medicare supplement insurance. The term health insurance refers to a wide variety of insurance policies. These range from policies that cover the costs of doctors and hospitals to those that meet a specific need, such as paying for long-term care. Even disability insurance – which replaces lost income if you can’t work because of an illness or accident – is considered health insurance, even though it’s not specifically for medical expenses. Today, when people talk about broad health care coverage, instead of using the term “major medical,” they are more likely to refer to fee-for-service or managed care. These terms apply to different kinds of coverage or health plans. Moreover, you’ll also hear about specific kinds of managed care plans: health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred provider organizations (PPOs), and point-of-service (POS) plans. The portion of the covered medical expenses you pay is called coinsurance. Fee-for-service policies often reimburse doctor bills at 80 percent (some plans might be 70; others 90; but most are in the 80 percent range) of the usual, customary, and reasonable” (referred to on insurance statements as “UCR”—the prevailing cost of a medical service in a given geographic area). You pay the other 20 percent (or the difference) – which is your coinsurance. However, if a medical provider charges more than the reasonable and customary fee, you will be responsible for the difference. For example, if the reasonable and customary fee for a medical service is $100, the insurer will pay $80. If your doctor charged $100, you will pay $20. But if the doctor charged $105, you will pay $25. Under healthcare reform, policies typically have an out-of-pocket maximum. This means that once your expenses reach a certain amount in a given calendar year, the reasonable and customary fee for covered benefits will be paid in full by the insurer. (If your doctor bills you more than the reasonable and customary charge, you may still have to pay a portion of the bill.) Note that Medicare limits how much a physician may charge you above the usual amount. For example, you may decide to join a local HMO where you pay a monthly premium. That premium is the same whether you use the plan’s services or not. The plan may charge a co-payment for certain services – for example, $10 for an office visit, or $5 for every prescription. So, if you join this HMO, you may find that you have few out-of-pocket expenses for medical care – as long as you use doctors or hospitals that participate in or are part of the HMO. Your share may be only the small co-payments; generally, you will not have deductibles or coinsurance."

"question": "What is the difference between a PPO and a POS plan?",
"answer": "A POS plan has primary care physicians who coordinate patient care; and in most cases, PPO plans do not. But there are exceptions. HMOs, PPOs, and fee-for-service plans often share certain features, including pre-authorization, utilization review, and discharge planning. For example, you may be asked to get authorization from your plan or insurer before admission to a hospital for certain types of surgery. Utilization review is the process by which a plan determines whether a specific medical or surgical service is appropriate and/or medically necessary. Discharge planning is an approach that facilitates the transfer of a patient to a more cost-effective facility if the patient no longer needs to stay in the hospital. For example, if, following surgery, you no longer need hospitalization but cannot be cared for at home, you may be transferred to a skilled nursing facility. Health insurance is generally available through groups and to individuals. Group insurance is typically offered through employers, although unions, professional associations, and other organizations also offer it. As an employee benefit, group health insurance has many advantages. Much – although not all – of the cost may be borne by the employer (as health care reform continues and the cost of insurance continues to rise, employers have found themselves passing a greater share of the premium onto their employees). Contrary to popular belief, group premium costs per individual/family are frequently higher than individual insurance. This is because there is no underwriting on enrollees to accurately gauge their risk level (expected claims), and all must be accepted onto the plan (With the advent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), starting 2014 individual underwriting for all health plans is eliminated.). It typically also includes benefits like maternity, that does not always apply to everyone. With group insurance, if you enroll when you first become eligible for coverage, you generally will not be asked for evidence that you are insurable. (Enrollment usually occurs when you first take a job, and/or during a specified period each year, which is called open enrollment.) Some employers offer employees a choice of fee-for-service and managed care plans. In addition, some group plans offer dental insurance as well as medical. Many people worry about coverage for preexisting conditions, especially when they change jobs. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) helps assure continued health insurance coverage for employees and their dependents. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) has made it unlawful for ensurers to exclude pre-existing conditions from a patient’s coverage, or to deny them coverage overall because of that or any other health issue. Very few plans cover eyeglasses and hearing aids because these are considered budgetable expenses. Very few cover elective cosmetic surgery, except to correct damage caused by a covered accidental injury.Procedures that are considered experimental may not be covered either. As we indicated earlier, health insurance policies can no longer exclude coverage for preexisting conditions. First, you should know that under current federal law (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, commonly known as COBRA), group health plans sponsored by employers with 20 or more employees are required to offer continued coverage for you and your dependents for 18 months after you leave your job. (Under the same law, following an employee’s death or divorce, the worker’s family has the right to continue coverage for up to three years.) If you wish to continue your group coverage under this option, you must notify your employer within 60 days. You must also pay the entire premium, up to 102 percent of the cost of the coverage (the added cost is an administrative fee). If COBRA doesn’t apply, then, if you are healthy, not yet eligible for Medicare, and expect to take another job, you might consider an interim or short-term policy. These policies provide medical insurance for people with a short-term need, such as those temporarily between jobs or those making the transition between college and a job. These policies, typically written for two to six months and renewable once, cover hospitalization, intensive care, and surgical and doctors’ care provided in the hospital, as well as expenses for related services performed outside the hospital, such as X-rays or laboratory tests. Ultimately, however, in lieu of an employer-based group plan, you will likely go to the individual market either through a public exchange (the government’s website) or private exchange (such as MyHealthQuoter.com), under the new PPACA. Under healthcare reform, you may also qualify for federal funds to help cover your monthly premium."

{
"question": "What is the first thing I should know about buying health coverage?",
"answer": "Your aim should be to insure yourself and your family against the most serious and financially disastrous losses that can result from an illness or accident. If you are offered health benefits at work, carefully review the plans’ literature to make sure the one you select fits your needs. If you purchase individual coverage, buy a policy that will cover major expenses and pay them to the highest maximum level. Save money on premiums, if necessary, by taking large deductibles and paying smaller costs out-of-pocket."
},
{
"question": "Can I buy a single health insurance policy that will provide all the benefits I’m likely to need?",
"answer": "No. Although you can select a plan or buy a policy that should cover most medical, hospital, surgical, and pharmaceutical bills, no single policy covers everything. Moreover, you may want to consider additional single-purpose policies like long-term care or disability income insurance. If you are over 65, you may want a Medicare supplement policy to fill in the gaps in Medicare coverage. I’m planning to keep working after age 65."
},
{
"question": "Will I be covered by Medicare or by my company’s health insurance?",
"answer": "If you work for a company with 20 or more employees, your employer must offer you (through age 69) the same health insurance coverage offered to younger employees. After you reach age 65, you may choose between Medicare and your company’s plan as your primary insurer. If you elect to remain in the company plan, it will pay first – for all benefits covered under the plan – before Medicare is billed. In most instances, it is to your advantage to accept continued employer coverage. While this used to be an issue, under health care reform, it is much less so. You can get insurance, and your rates are determined by only a few key factors: where you live, your age, whether you smoke and the type of plan you choose. One of my medical bills was turned down by the insurance company (or health plan)."
},
{
"question": "Is there anything I can do?",
"answer": "Ask the insurance company why the claim was rejected. If the answer is that the service isn’t covered under your policy, and you’re sure that it is covered, check to see that the provider entered the correct diagnosis or procedure code on the insurance claim form. Also check that your deductible was correctly calculated. Make sure that you didn’t skip an essential step under your plan, such as pre-admission certification. If everything is in order, ask the insurer to review the claim. Look at this information closely. Think about your personal situation."
},
{
"question": "What types of utilization review, pre-authorization, or certification procedures are included?",
"answer": "Hospital indemnity plans are not insurance. They pay you a specified amount of cash benefits for each day that you are hospitalized, generally up to a designated number of days. These cash benefits are paid directly to you, can be used for any purpose, and may be useful in meeting out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance. And bear in mind: In some cases, even after you buy a policy, if you find that it doesn’t meet your needs, you may have 30 days to return the policy and get your money back. This is called the “free look” period. Good luck! And if you have any specific questions, don’t hesitate to contact us (866) 577-3620."

"question": "How Big of a Solar System Will I Need to Get Rid of My Electric Bill?",
"answer": "As a rough rule of thumb, when oriented properly, each 60-cell panel will typically produce about $2 to $3 per month in electricity in Missouri. Note however that with grid-tied systems, the utility will limit the overall system size so that you cannot install more solar capacity than your total annual power usage."
},
{
"question": "How Long Will It Take To Pay For Itself and Are There Any Rebates or Tax Incentives?",
"answer": "Larger systems cost more up front but typically earn a higher/faster return on investment. Commonly for medium to larger residential grid-tie systems, the solar system will completely pay for itself in as little as 6-8 years. Small systems will take a bit longer, typically 8 to 12 years. Larger commercial systems with good sites can often pay for themselves in 5-7 years. As far as tax incentives, the 30% federal tax credit was recently extended for a few more years. This credit allows a credit in the amount of 30% of the total system cost."
},
{
"question": "How Long Will the System Last, and How Long Is The Equipment Warranty?",
"answer": "The systems are highly reliable and designed to last for decades. Panels are typically workmanship warrantied for 10-12 years, but carry 25 to 30 year performance guarantees on power output, and solar panels made many decades ago are still in operation. Inverters typically carry 25 year warranties."
},
{
"question": "What About the Durability of the Panels, Aren't They Made From Glass?",
"answer": "Yes they are, and the glass is quite durable, impact resistant and designed to withstand heavy snow loads and small to moderate size hail. Some manufacturers even have durability testing showing panels being run over by cars! See the video at right to see a more realistic example: a slow-motion impact of a large ice ball fired into a solar panel. The good news is that if extreme hail comes along, the system is covered by most homeowner's policies. Always verify with your insurer."

[
{
"question": "When can I access land for exploration?",
"answer": "Access to land for exploration can only occur once access arrangements have been negotiated with the respective landholders. Until that time, a prospecting operator cannot carry out any on ground exploration. Even with an access arrangement in place, certain areas may not be accessed including areas determined to be significant improvements. Read more about significant improvements. No exploration activities can take place on land claimable under the provisions of the Commonwealth's Native Title Act 1993, before the right to negotiate process has been completed."
},
{
"question": "What is an access arrangement?",
"answer": "An access arrangement is a written agreement between a titleholder and a landholder. It specifies the terms and conditions under which a titleholder may access land for exploration. No activity may be undertaken by the resources company without an access arrangement in place. These arrangements may be agreed between the titleholder and landholder, or determined by an arbitrator. any other conditions and requirements agreed to by the landholder and the titleholder. Access to land may be denied if a titleholder contravenes the agreed access arrangement."
},
{
"question": "What policy and legislation must I follow when accessing land?",
"answer": "access arrangements agreed in writing with the landholder(s). I am unable to finalise an access arrangement with the landholder of the land under my title."
},
{
"question": "What do I do?",
"answer": "Thousands of access arrangements are successfully negotiated between titleholders and landholders for their mutual benefit. Very few progress to mediation, arbitration and to the courts. However, in the instance parties can’t reach agreement through private negotiations, the NSW legislative framework sets out a clear pathway to help landholders and titleholders agree on the terms and conditions for access to land. Under NSW law, negotiation between a titleholder and a landholder is the first step in making a land access arrangement. Mediation is required if parties are unable to reach an agreement. If mediations are unsuccessful, parties proceed to arbitration where an arbitrator will make a determination. Mediation and arbitration are less formal and less costly means of reaching an agreement. Arbitrators may be privately appointed if agreed by both parties, or may otherwise be appointed by the Secretary of the Department of Industry, Skills and Regional Development from the Minister’s panel of arbitrators. Determinations may be appealed in the Land and Environment Court. Landholders and titleholders are required under legislation to act in good faith throughout this process. The Land Access Arbitration Procedure provides more information on mediation and arbitration. Read more about the NSW land access arbitration framework."
},
{
"question": "What costs am I required to cover as part of negotiating access to land?",
"answer": "the costs of then arbitrator, if a member of the Minister’s panel of arbitrators is appointed to a matter. Read more about costs payable by the explorer. My exploration program has changed and I need to vary my access arrangement."
},
{
"question": "How do I go about this?",
"answer": "The first step is to check the agreed access arrangement to ascertain whether it specifies a process for advising of or negotiating variations. If so, this process must be followed. by application to the Land and Environment Court if the arrangement was determined by the Court or an arbitrator."
},
{
"question": "How and when do I need to carry out rehabilitation?",
"answer": "the agreed land access arrangement. The information provided above is general information only. You should seek assistance from a legal officer if you require more specific advice on matters relating to the Mining Act 1992 or the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991."

Each comment into the alert room identifies the persons’ name, address, and room or office number."
},
{
"question": "What does a connected location mean?",
"answer": "A connected location means that you can connect with any other location using the system to share alerts of mutual interest. Both locations must approve the connection for the connection to be complete. For example, you can connect your school with your central office, local first responder agency, neighboring facility, or any other location. So if you are connected with your central office and first responder agency and an incident happens at your location, your connected locations computers, and text and email recipients would also receive the alert.

"question": "Why should I choose CRS Notify over a traditional panic button offered through my alarm company?",
"answer": "The flaws of the traditional panic button are the main reason CRS was started! Traditional panic buttons can take several minutes to notify first responders. We even found that some traditional panic buttons fail to notify first responders due to an unknown malfunction. CRS Notify has taken those minutes down to just seconds! We even offer confirmation the alert went through via automated voice call and/or computer! There are no contracts or hidden obligations of any kind. CRS Notify is a monthly subscription that can be paid for month-by-month or annually."

"question": "Can we pay by check or purchase order?",

"question": "What is the Body Rocket Complete Posture Rejuvenation System?",
"answer": "The Body Rocket Complete Posture Rejuvenation System is a patent pending system of therapeutic devices designed to heal, and protect, your posture while enriching your life in the process. Based on our belief that most common spine and joint problems may be caused by issues with your posture, improving your posture may effectively alleviate the related problems. You can think of it as a corrective system for your body similar to braces for teeth. The main difference is you only need to use our system for minutes a day. The system has three treatment options which represent increasing amounts of engagement. Option 1 is a quick and relaxing stretch for the entire spine that can be a warm up for the next Options or a stand alone Option. Option 2 adds a stretch of the shoulders and allows you to walk around. Option 2 is also where the body is being trained to hold correct posture while upright. Option 3 adds positioning of your head for a complete body realignment. The three Options of treatment can range from very mild and gentle to very intense and aggressive. You control the intensity based on your ability to handle the pressures created and the advice of your Qualified Medical Doctor. Treatment times range from 15 minutes for Option 1 with an additional 10 minutes for Options 2 and 3. You may wish to go longer if you would like to more aggressively correct your posture and your Qualified Medical Doctor approves. More simply stated: The Body Rocket is a therapeutic stretching device design to isolate and alleviate stiffness and imbalance in your posture."
},
{
"question": "What do you mean by \"posture related\" problems?",
"answer": "We identify \"posture related\" problems as problems that are only caused by a stiff and imbalanced posture. These problems may be completely solvable by correcting these conditions. These are the problems that otherwise healthy individuals typically experience due to inactivity and/or unhealthy longterm body positioning. Your Qualified Medical Doctor needs to diagnose your problems as posture related, and only posture related, for our products to be able to help you. There are many potential causes of spine and joint problems and we are not able to solve problems that are not posture related or have other causes."
},
{
"question": "How does the Body Rocket heal, and protect, my posture?",
"answer": "Our claim is that the Body Rocket can safely and effectively stretch the spine and joints, of approved users, in ways that may alleviate harmful pressure and balance their general range of motion. This healthy balance may also heal, and protect, healthy posture provided any other issues are also addressed, if present. We believe that posture issues may be the underlying cause of most spine and joint problems. We believe that balancing an approved users spine and joints may restore and protect healthy posture which may correct and prevent any related correctable spine and joint problems. An individual's results will depend on many factors. You, and your Qualified Medical Doctor, need to decide if the Body Rocket is a viable solution for you. Our pledge to you is that the Body Rocket is the most comprehensive and effective therapeutic device for posture health available."
},
{
"question": "How does The Body Rocket enrich my life?",
"answer": "The Body Rocket will enrich your life in several ways. Just by healing, and protecting, your posture, The Body Rocket will enable the natural efficiencies your spine and joints were designed with to convert natural energy into radiant vitality. The vibrating motor that times your sessions will further revitalize you just like your own personal masseuse. Imagine being able to have a stimulating massage any time you like. All aspects of your posture will be stimulated and revitalized after each session. The Body Rocket can do all this, and more, any time, or any place you like. Let The Body Rocket heal, protect, and enrich your life today. Your only regret will be that you didn't buy a Body Rocket sooner."
},
{
"question": "The Body Rocket seems very complex, can't I just do some simple stretches and exercises to correct my posture?",
"answer": "The Body Rocket is complex because our body's posture is complex. The alignment in your vehicle is also complex. If your vehicle was out of alignment you would take it to expert mechanics who know exactly how your vehicle is supposed to be aligned and how to align it. The Body Rocket has all the curves your spine should contain already calculate into it. Let the Body Rocket be the known reference point you stretch your spine and joints against. Your life is complex enough, let us free you up to focus on the things you want, and need, to focus on. The Body Rocket does give you a stretch. A controlled, focused, and productive stretch that is the essence of how effective it is. It stretches every aspect of your posture needed to reverse the limited range of motion that causes poor posture. You should always incorporate a healthy exercise program into your life. Your qualified Medical Doctor should approve the program that is right for you and you should commit to it. A lack of a proactive posture care, and healthy exercise, are two of the major contributing factors to poor posture."
},
{
"question": "Inversion tables can do everything the Body Rocket can, can't they?",
"answer": "No, just comparing their size will immediately highlight a significant advantage to The Body Rocket. The Body Rocket can go anywhere you can. There is no need to disassemble the Body Rocket for any reason. You can easily take The Body Rocket to work, on vacation, or anywhere you chose and get a therapeutic recharge that can power you to the end of the day. Try taking an inversion table to work or on vacation with you for just one day! It's not going to happen!"
},
{
"question": "How effective and convenient is the Body Rocket?",
"answer": "Because of our complete engagement, the Body Rocket may be able to solve, and prevent, your posture related problems more effectively and efficiently than you ever thought possible. We may also keep your posture healthy your entire life. In addition, you can truly take the Body Rocket anywhere! No other device can engage your posture as completely or as conveniently. From occupying minimal space in your home or office to easily fitting into a duffle bag or travel luggage, the Body Rocket is as mobile as you are. Refresh and recharge during your workday or relax and rejuvenate during any vacation."
},
{
"question": "That's right, tired of needing a \"vacation\" from your \"vacation\"?",
"answer": "Take the Body Rocket with you. The Body Rocket can provide a rejuvenating recharge any time and anywhere. We think you should be able to enjoy every part of play time and engage every hour of your time at work from a position of strength."
},
{
"question": "Why settle for a solution you can't use when and where you need it?",
"answer": "There are many products that engage the spine and shoulders but no others we have found are capable of the complete engagement you get with the Body Rocket. Any solution that may claim to come close can't match it's portability. Most of them simply do not have the technology needed to effectively address the cause of posture issues. The Body Rocket may be able to generate all the force needed to correct even the most stubborn posture issues for the most brawny person but be easily transported wherever you need it!"
},
{
"question": "Wouldn't it be more convenient to use the Body Rocket standing the entire time?",
"answer": "Your vertebrae become larger as they get lower simply due to the amount of weight they have to support. The vertebrae in your neck only have to support your head while the vertebrae in your lumbar region have to support your head and entire torso. When you lay down, each vertebrae only has to \"support\" the insignificant weight that is directly above it. Laying down releases tremendous pressure allowing your spine and joints to decompress, hydrate, and relax. This is part of why it is healthy to sleep laying down. The Body Rocket proactively stretches your spine while it helps to restore the natural shape of it. The natural shape of your spine facilitates optimal efficiency and mobility of motion. It is always safer, and more effective, to stretch your spine and joints when they are fully hydrated and relaxed. This is why we have you lay down first and stand last."
},
{
"question": "Is this a \"one size fits all\" product?",
"answer": "No, we will ask for a size when ordering. There are no \"one size fits all\" products that are able to completely engage your posture. We have specific instructions on our informational video as well as on the bottom of the Product page that will demonstrate how to obtain the measurement we need. The size we send you will include 1 Spinal Mold along with 2 extension tabs that will allow you to then establish the configuration that matches your Thoracic curve."
},
{
"question": "Why not make a \"one size fits all\" version?",
"answer": "If you look at the picture on the home page of our website, you will notice that the base of the spine does not touch the table. It is suspended above it. This dynamic ensures that gravity is helping to stretch your lumbar region and providing a controlled leverage that counters the cervical neck roller. This controlled leverage allows you to stretch your entire spine vertically just like an inversion table. * To obtain this dynamic, we have to get your size just right."
},
{
"question": "What is it like to use the Body Rocket?",
"answer": "The Body Rocket applies pressure similar to having a spinal manipulation. A Chiropractor is doing this when they perform an adjustment. The main difference is that our treatments are over timed 10 minute increments which conditions the body to increase its range of motion more effectively. Being able to receive an adjustment from a Chiropractor is an indication, not a guarantee, that you may be able to use the Body Rocket. You will feel results immediately. There is an immediate therapeutic benefit from the very first use. Any relief from tension will always be felt instantly much like a relaxing massage. You may be amazed at the level of tension you have simply gotten used to. 1. The length of time you have had posture issues: The longer you have had poor posture, the longer it may take to visibly improve. The Body Rocket addresses many of the factors related to posture all at the same time which will get the most noticeable results as fast as you are capable of. 2. Your fitness level: The fitter you are, the more responsive your body may be to positive changes. If your posture issues stem from a sedentary lifestyle, your body may not be as receptive to improvements. You may experience some soreness as a result. Keep your Qualified Medical Doctor informed of any pain associated with use but some soreness is expected. Our system may not be as effective if you do not engage in healthy physical exercise such as walking with the Body Rocket in Option 2 if your Qualified Medical Doctor approves. 3. Your overall flexibility: In general, some posture issues may be the result of a loss of flexibility which may cause a loss in range of motion. The more rigid and muscular you are, the more effort it may take for improvements to occur. Be patient as positive changes may take longer if you are naturally less flexible than others. Provided that posture issues are your only issues, you should eventually see noticeable results. Some people may see them faster than others. I have been using the prototypes for years and have made more progress than I ever thought possible but still have progress to achieve. A good comparison is braces for teeth. You can't immediately straighten teeth with blunt force and expect good results. Some people require long term maintenance to keep their teeth straight while others don't. The body also take time to adjust to changes even if they are positive ones. The good news is that we can help you feel better right away. Beautiful posture is possible to achieve with enough time for approved users."
},
{
"question": "How can I tell if I am getting results?",
"answer": "1. Put your heels against a wall and lean back flat against the wall as much as you can. 2. Take note of how you hips and back feel against the wall. 3. Take special note of how easy it is to flatten your body and if there is any force needed to press your hips, upper back, and head against the wall at the same time. If you have poor posture, you may need to exert force to make your feet, hips, upper back, and head touch the wall all at the same time. 4. Compare this to how it feels after each use and over time. You should notice that eventually you will just lean back and your hips, shoulders, and head can touch the wall effortlessly. This is a good goal to have as you should be able to do this with healthy posture. 5. You can also do this in your vehicle by noticing if you can touch the headrest while sitting up straight and if that gets easier over time."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if I am not right for the Body Rocket?",
"answer": "1. You have not been cleared by a Qualified Medical Doctor familiar with spinal manipulative therapy. 2. You have an injury that limits your movement or ability to handle physical stress. Any shoulder injury with lingering effects will likely disqualify you from Options 2 and 3. Options 2 and 3 apply pressure to the shoulders that could aggravate a shoulder injury. 3. We are not able to help those with severe scoliosis. Your back has to be straight enough left to right in order for have your spine fit between the rails of the spinal mold. If your spine will not conform inside the rails, the pressure will instantly injure your back. 4. You have a back or spinal problem caused by something other than a posture related issue such as a bone disorder, genetic defect, or injury. 5. If your shoulders do not protrude from your torso for any reason or you have difficulty wearing a backpack, Options 2 and 3 may not work for you. 6. You have any condition that compromises your health and resilience to physical stress. 7. You have a low tolerance for discomfort of any kind. 8. If 15 lbs is heavy to you, Options 2 and 3 are not for you. This is how much the complete system weighs. In this case, you should only purchase the Body Rocket alone if your Qualified Medical Doctor approves. 9. View the informational video and/or the instructions at the bottom of the Product page to determine your correct size. If your measurements do not fall in the range supplied, it would not be safe to use the Body Rocket."
},
{
"question": "Should I use the Body Rocket if I don't have posture related problems?",
"answer": "Yes, you don't brush your teeth to get rid of cavities, you brush to prevent them. You may not have perceivable symptoms now but your lifestyle may be leading you towards posture related issues in the future. If you sit, and/or lean forward, for extended periods, and don't get proper exercise, using the Body Rocket will serve to help prevent problems that may prove difficult to solve later. As we age, physical problems become more difficult to solve. We believe it is better to protect healthy posture than to try and heal unhealthy posture after irreversible damage has occurred. If you are less active due to age or life changes, you need to take proactive care of your posture now. Those who wait for problems to occur will find it much more difficult to solve them."
},
{
"question": "When and where do I use the system?",
"answer": "The System is based around sessions that can be as quick as 15 minutes or up to 30 minutes or more. The sessions can be in the morning, afternoon, and/or evening. You can get a rejuvenating stretch and massage in 15 minutes using only the Body Rocket any time and place you like. You can go longer if your Qualified Medical Doctor approves. Your Qualified Medical Doctor should help you set up your specific frequency and duration. You can use the System at home, work, or anywhere you can lay, stand, or walk for 15 minutes."
},
{
"question": "What if I don't have time to spare?",
"answer": "If you don't have time to spare, you may possibly benefit from the Body Rocket more than you thought possible. Every one of us has the same amount of time each day. What we don't have is the same amount of energy and mobility. We can't give you more time but we may help you get more out of your time. The issues that the Body Rocket addresses may be the issues that are robbing you of precious vitality. Attaining optimal posture may help to drive your vitality up thus making you more effective and efficient with your time. When you are more effective and efficient with your time, you will have time to spare. P.S. You have 15 minutes for this, I promise!"
},
{
"question": "Are there any side effects from using the Body Rocket?",
"answer": "The Body Rocket is capable of very aggressive posture correction if using the system to its fullest potential. If your Qualified Medical Doctor approves the more aggressive approach, there will be some temporary soreness and discomfort. Even with the mildest treatment there may still e some soreness as your body adjusts. As mentioned before, your current general condition is a big factor in how your body responds to use. You should immediately stop using the Body Rocket and consult your Qualified Medical Doctor if you experience anything beyond the level of soreness and discomfort expected by the level of treatment you and your Qualified Medical Doctor decides."

"question": "Also, shouldn't there be a search box at the TOP of the home page?",
"answer": "Mythology is now carried under Religion. This is a controversial change because it suggests mythology is less \"important\" than religion. But on the other hand, one man's religion could be considered another man's myth... Suggestion was made to put both mythology and religion as subcategories of Culture. While it would be nice to have a more detailed set of topics on the home page, the current scheme is sufficient, and has the benefit of being concise. Having to page down more than once is considered a navigational pain in the rat's patootie. The current organization of topics feels somewhat ad hoc and might be better served if it had particular principles underlying it. One organization principle for a homepage might be the categories of Rogets Thesaurus. Another principle might be to quickly direct traffic to the most commonly accessed pages. Another might be a general ontology of the universe. Added index and random links to homepage. Removed redundant welcome. Added Complete list of encyclopedia topics. \"Year in Review\" catagory changed to \"Historical view\". \"Current Events\" section pruned and relocated. Wikipedia copyright clarified with links to GNU Free Documentation License, open content and free content. Copied from Hello, I saw in the comments fields of the home page that I shouldn't modify it without contacting you first - but its a bit late for that. Anyway, I'd like to recommend that 'Space' be left on the main page under the 'applied arts and sciences' field. It's a rather large subject that should be fairly popular, and there are already a lot of pages that could fall into that category. The only problem with the existing pages was lack of a central location, and as such they are all scattered and hooked into the other physical science and engineering fields. I tried to find a more appropriate place to link a space category, but the other existing locations seemed too narrow in scope to justify a full-bore 'space' category there. The only appropriate solution seemed to be at the root level. There isn't a lot under the heading right now, mainly scaffolding. But with a central, obvious location, I would expect it to fill out rather rapidly. Space transport is included under transport; other aspects of space technology are listed under techology. The name, \"Space,\" is the name of a subject studied by Astronomy and Astrophysics, not the name of an applied science or technology. If anything, space technology (if there is such a thing that is so-called) could be listed under \"applied science and technology.\" Generally speaking, the items on the HomePage are either names of disciplines, or names of arts and technologies. \"Space\" is none of these. The subject that studies space is astronomy. I disagree with this again. 'Space' is big enough that it pretty much requires its own field, and calling it 'space science' IMO narrows it too much. Not all that is space is science; there is a lot of raw technology and history involved that would be inappropriate for a raw science category. Not all that is space involves telescopes and people in white lab coats. Space happens to include astronomy and astrophysics. It also includes space technology, and it includes space science and space engineering. The problem is that all of these fields link heavily into each other, and it should be possible to find them all under one, single, unified category."
},
{
"question": "How about engineering?",
"answer": "For the life of me, I couldn't find most of them from the front page."
},
{
"question": "At least if I got desparate, I could type in 'wiki/Space' into the url and get a category with space sciences in it, right?",
"answer": "Not anymore. It's just been reverted to the four liner describing space as a location in a coordinate grid. Once again, this is a very common, popular, and broad-reaching subject, and requires a central header that is simple and obvious for everything that falls under it. At the very least, give us the Space keyword, even if it is not on the main page. What I had posted under it could hardly be worse than the existing definition, and would certainly be what people accessing the page would expect."
},
{
"question": "Isn't the topic of government very well covered by the combination of political science and public affairs?",
"answer": "Besides, on the homepage, so far, the topics are names of fields of study (and sometimes fields of study that are also names of the subjects they study). I don't like the idea of an activism category on the homepage. Activism per se is not a broad subject in the way that the others are, and activist approaches to various subjects are linked to from various other categories, such as public affairs, political science, and philosophy. I'm going to remove the GSS link, pending some discussion of why we should have that, and not the many other interdisciplinary fields that exist. I'd say a page of interdisciplinary fields would be useful, though I'd divide it into social science and natural science interdisciplinary fields -- bioinformatics and cognitive science are very different from GSS & friends. How about moving the search control to the top of the front page rather than hidden down at the bottom. This is my first visit today and, if I wasn't fairly websavvy, I might have given up at not seeing a way of looking up something of interest at first glance."

"question": "How Can You Help an Animal in Danger?",
"answer": "If you get to see an animal injured in a road accident or is very sick, you should find out from local shopkeepers and others if there is a veterinary physician (Vet) in the neighborhood. As a next step, organize an auto-rickshaw for smaller animals such as dogs, cats and a LCV truck for larger animals such as cows, donkeys and other large animals. After covering the eyes and the mouth of the animal with piece of cloth such as old towel, bed-sheet or even a gunny bag, transfer the animal into the vehicle, with the help of locals at the site. Once you have reached the Vet clinic, seek help from their assistants to take the animal into the clinic for treatment."

"answer": "What You Need to Know about the FCC's New Call Blocking Rules and What CSPs Need to Know About the FCC's New Call Blocking Rules attendees asked many important questions that we have answered here to provide insight into addressing robocall mitigation, operations and processes related to outbound calls to customers."
},
{
"question": "What do consumers see on their caller ID display when we call?",
"answer": "Typically, caller ID displays some form of your business name and phone number. While most businesses publish a few phone numbers for main contacts, such as their customer service line, they often have hundreds or even thousands of internal phone extensions and corporate mobiles that do not display the correct information for outbound calls. These may appear as just a phone number, some version of your business name, or just \"UNAVAILABLE\" or \"UNKNOWN CALLER\". However, recent initiatives by phone companies to identify potential fraudulent calls could inadvertently flag the call as \"SUSPECT SPAM\". Neustar can help with an exhaustive audit to understand how your caller ID looks to consumers."
},
{
"question": "How can we control calling name and number displayed for our caller ID?",
"answer": "Displaying an accurate and consistent caller identity gives customers more confidence knowing who is calling and helps them make the decision to answer the call. Telecom service providers that \"own\" the phone number manage caller ID information, but the information may not be updated when the number changes hands. Consider using a service that can help you effectively update and manage what is displayed on your outbound calls. Neustar provides 90% of caller ID to the industry and works with over 850 fixed, cable and mobile operators to ensure accurate first party information is displayed, rather than outdated information stored in back office systems."
},
{
"question": "How do we ensure caller identity works across all phones: fixed, cable, VoIP AND mobile phones?",
"answer": "Although it is clear that communication is exceedingly becoming mobile, be aware that you may be calling a person on a wide variety of phone technologies. Despite cord-cutting trends, 45% of households still have landline phones. And given the personal nature of mobiles, many consumers often provide their landlines for business-related call backs. Neustar can help with a holistic approach to deliver an accurate display over all phone technologies."
},
{
"question": "If my caller ID display is incorrect, or missing, can't I just have my telecom service provider fix it?",
"answer": "Multiple telecom service providers participate in the delivery of service for those you call. You can't fix it with your service provider alone. To have a consistent caller ID, you would have to provide all of the business phone numbers that you use to make calls, to every service provider that helps with delivery of those calls, so they can associate your business name to each of those numbers. Neustar provides a single interface to over 850 carriers to simplify management and ensure consistency for caller ID."
},
{
"question": "How do we ensure our calls are not blocked or marked as spam?",
"answer": "As telecom service providers begin implementing call blocking services to protect consumers, legitimate business calls may be inadvertently tagged as spam. Some legitimate calls are even being blocked before they reach the consumer. You can identify your outbound calling phone numbers and those numbers that never originate calls. By providing your outbound calling numbers to Neustar, we mark these numbers as verified business numbers, so they are whitelisted and accidental blocking or inaccurate spam tagging is prevented."
},
{
"question": "How do we get our toll-free callback numbers added to the whitelist so that will not be flagged as \"spam\"?",
"answer": "Neustar's Caller Name Optimization service makes no distinction between toll-free or non toll-free telephone numbers. Either can be registered by a business for purposes of direct management and whitelisting through Neustar's Trusted Brand Display portal."
},
{
"question": "How do you address legitimate numbers that are being utilized by spam/scam/traffic pumping activity?",
"answer": "Legitimate business telephone numbers (TNs) managed through Neustar's Trusted Brand Display central hub, are distributed by Neustar to its partners throughout the voice ecosystem (e.g. Mobile Operators, Mobile App providers). These TNs are then protected from spam/scam tagging and inadvertent blocking practices."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if number assigned was previously marked as 'probable fraud'?",
"answer": "Neustar is able to validate individual telephone numbers against our Robocall Mitigation fraud model, and to work with partners to understand the 'reputation' of a telephone number (TN) across multiple service providers - to see if a particular TN has previously been tagged as having been used for nefarious or fraudulent activities. Stay tuned for future announcements regarding Neustar's 'TN Reputation' service."
},
{
"question": "How can you be sure the caller name shows in all markets?",
"answer": "With literally thousands of telecom providers across the US, it is difficult to provide a guarantee of 'all markets', however, Neustar manages the largest Caller Identity database in the United States with over 85% market coverage and growing. We provide Caller ID services to all major wireline, wireless, cable and VoIP CSPs, as well as to the leading Caller ID mobile apps."
},
{
"question": "How do we know or measure the impact of false blocks our company may be experiencing?",
"answer": "In many cases, businesses are not even aware their outbound calls are being tagged as 'spam' or blocked entirely. Neustar is able to provide this view to prospective clients, or you may also measure your outbound call pick-up rates for any noticeable decline. The Professional Association for Customer Engagement (PACE) recently cited a 20% decrease in outbound call centers answer rates in 2017. We have been told it is up to the customer's carrier to display the caller id display name."
},
{
"question": "Is that true?",
"answer": "The Terminating Carrier (carrier for the called party) has responsibility to display a caller's name, however, each carrier accomplishes this by dipping to an industry Line Information Database (LIDB) to match a name to an individual telephone number. Neustar manages the largest of these industry databases in the United States, with over 85% market coverage and returning names for carrier queries over 10 billion times each month. It is a surprise to learn you can display a company name on the caller id for cell phones."
},
{
"question": "Is this really possible?",
"answer": "Yes, business name can be displayed to mobile devices as long as the subscriber has opted into the service. With the pivot to richer content and context in Caller ID capabilities (i.e. logos, pictures, tag-lines, etc.) it is expected that Branded Call Display will become a universal capability on the mobile device."
},
{
"question": "If we use a dedicated inbound call back number for outbound calls, and this dedicated call back/inbound number is listed as a DNO (do-not-originate) number, would our outbound call be blocked/potentially blocked even though it's actually originating on a valid outbound number?",
"answer": "DNO numbers fall within the FCC guidelines for allowable fraud tagging and blocking. It would be up to individual carrier policy whether the call is actually blocked, or potentially overlaid with some indication to the subscriber that the call is potentially fraudulent in some manner."
},
{
"question": "How does \"whitelisting\" protect against \"spoofing\"?",
"answer": "A \"bad guy\" can spoof a whitelisted number, which does not protect a consumer. Correct. Whitelisting does not resolve 'spoofing', but rather mitigates the spam-tagging and blocking challenge. Eliminating all fraud in voice calling will follow a multi-pronged approach, with spoofing being addressed by Neustar Certified Caller, an implementation of the STIR/SHAKEN framework in carrier networks."
},
{
"question": "How do we get our number removed from mobile spam apps like True Number?",
"answer": "As Neustar operates the largest Caller Identity database in the United States, serving major wireline, wireless, cable and VoIP CSPs, as well as the leading caller ID mobile apps, we are well positioned as a central hub to disseminate information regarding legitimate outbound business dialing. We currently have agreements to do so with the largest mobile operators and app providers in the US and continue to build out these capabilities throughout the wider voice ecosystem. Neustar Caller Name Optimization supports both direct management and whitelisting of legitimate outbound telephone numbers. We have multiple telemarketing offices where we have written consent from customers to legally call and leave messages."
},
{
"question": "A large amount of our calls are being screened as \"Scam Likely\", how do we go about resolving this with phone carriers?",
"answer": "There are many operators and mobile apps now offering 'scam likely' and 'blocking' services. As Neustar operates the largest Caller Identity database in the United States, serving major wireline, wireless, cable and VoIP CSPs, as well as to the leading Caller ID mobile apps, we are well positioned as a central hub to disseminate information regarding legitimate outbound business dialing."
},
{
"question": "What prevents a \"scammer\" from simply whitelisting a phone number?",
"answer": "Neustar has a multi-level approach to validate the legitimacy of businesses, their telephone numbers and calling practices prior to allowing access to either the Caller Name Optimization or Branded Call Display service. I work in data collection. We call people to do surveys."
},
{
"question": "How can we ensure that we stay off the blacklist?",
"answer": "Currently, your outbound calling practices will largely dictate whether or not any of the multiple spam or blocking algorithms will tag your calls. Neustar is offering a means to not only manage what consumers see when receiving a call from your business, but to 'whitelist' your telephone numbers throughout the voice calling ecosystem from a central location."
},
{
"question": "When preference management exists at the origination level, say a big box retailer, does call blocking over-ride the original permission given by the consumer?",
"answer": "The voice network would not have any visibility to the originating preference management setting, meaning it is likely that any calls originated from this system would fall into existing analytics and algorithms for spam tagging and blocking. I often receive scammer calls with a caller ID value that is similar to my own phone number, or a valid local number."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible for carriers to address these?",
"answer": "What you are referring to is known as 'neighbor spoofing'. Bad actors are hoping that if they present ('spoof') a local telephone number, that you are more likely to pick up. Eliminating all fraud in voice calling will follow a multi-pronged approach, with spoofing being addressed by Neustar Certified Caller, an implementation of the STIR/SHAKEN framework in carrier networks."
},
{
"question": "Can you expand on how to avoid blocking a number that violates the FCC's order?",
"answer": "It is always prudent to ensure a business's Do-Not-Originate (DNO) telephone numbers are protected against fraudulent activities. By registering these telephone numbers with a central repository such as Neustar's, these numbers would be shared with partners to ensure they would be flagged and/or blocked should any nefarious actors attempt to utilize them. The FCC rules currently allow blocking of calls from telephone numbers that are invalid, unallocated, allocated but unassigned and DNO."
},
{
"question": "If a number is ported to a different carrier and was set as a Do-Not-Originate number with the original carrier, will that tag be removed when the new carrier takes over the number?",
"answer": "Today, Do-Not-Originate (DNO) is a feature that can be set at the switch level to enable call blocking within the SS7 network. If a number ports to another carrier, the other carrier would have to set this same telephone number as DNO in their switch to keep the end subscriber from receiving spoofed calls. We are not aware of any \"tag\" that would follow the TN from network to network."
},
{
"question": "With regards to Robocall Mitigation with calculation of Fraud Score, how is call volume determined to be low, medium or high?",
"answer": "For example, 10 calls per day might be \"high\" volume for my Aunt Edna but \"low\" volume for a law firm."
},
{
"question": "Are call volume calculations on a per caller basis?",
"answer": "For the purposes of fraud scoring, volumes are based on prior patterns and trends for individual telephone numbers (TNs) over many years. As an example, a TN that typically makes 1000 calls per day, then suddenly jumps to 10,000 calls, would be suspect and captured in the fraud model/analytics program. Neustar is first and foremost an information services company, serving over 7,000+ of the world's largest brands and helping them to securely connect with their customers, tens of billions of times per day. As such, our fraud model does not rely on volumes alone, but verifies TN data with a myriad of related data points prior to scoring any particular TN."
},
{
"question": "Will there be a Cause code or SIT tone sent to the originating party that the call was labeled by your SCI?",
"answer": "The Neustar database is only queried by the Terminating carrier, who has responsibility to deliver Caller Name to the call recipient. There is no direct interface with the Originating Carrier, and hence no means for Neustar to deliver notification of a Caller Name overlay."
},
{
"question": "How does one certify that a number is allocated but unassigned if it is allocated to another carrier?",
"answer": "Each carrier maintains their own telephone number inventory, including which numbers have been assigned. With Robocall Mitigation, carriers may upload their assignment data to the Neustar fraud model to ensure proper treatment as it pertains to scoring and caller name overlay policy."
},
{
"question": "Does Neustar's service only identify it as a robocall or spoof call OR will it block it?",
"answer": "Neustar provides an information service - i.e. Neustar delivers the telephone number and disposition to its carrier customers, and then it is up to the carrier as to whether they will deliver this information to their subscriber or block the call on their subscriber's behalf. I keep hearing November as the date the FCC approved the blocking. Our company noticed a dramatic decrease in answer percentage as early as September."
},
{
"question": "What else was going on in the industry that may have caused this?",
"answer": "Although the FCC ruling was released in November, many Carriers and Mobile App providers had been introducing the ability to spam-tag or block calls beginning in late 2016/early 2017. The Professional Association for Customer Engagement (PACE) recently cited a 20% decrease in outbound call centers answer rates in 2017."
},
{
"question": "How do we stay up to date with new caller ID regulations, standards and solutions?",
"answer": "You can learn more from your telecom service provider or business associations. Many are inputting feedback into the work of the FCC. The Neustar Trust Lab is hosting initiatives for businesses to stay informed and participate in testing new robocalling solutions. Get involved in the ongoing discussions and stay tuned to changing regulations."
},
{
"question": "Is there a solution that provides protection from call blocking, spoofing, spam tagging, and re-issued or re-assigned phone numbers?",
"answer": "Neustar Caller Name Optimization supports both direct management and whitelisting of legitimate outbound telephone numbers and is commercially available now for businesses. You can also register your DNO telephone numbers to be shared with the industry to deter spoofing. True digital signing of calls from network to network to prevent spoofing is through the implementation of the STIR/SHAKEN standards, or Neustar Certified Caller. Neustar Robocall Mitigation for CSPs helps them inform their subscribers of suspect calling activities, or block known fraudulent calls from traversing their networks."
},
{
"question": "Is Neustar providing/managing a CNAM Database for other CNAM providers to use to support carriers so accurate information is always used?",
"answer": "Yes, Neustar does exchange information with other CNAM providers to promote accuracy in Caller Name data throughout the industry. Does Neustar operate a central whitelist/blacklist. How will this list be kept current (i.e."
},
{
"question": "disconnected numbers)?",
"answer": "Neustar has multiple, ongoing checks to ensure the validity of TN to Business Name data remains in synch including a database scan of both ported and disconnected TN data. Any discrepancies are then sent to the corresponding business owner for resolution."
},
{
"question": "Since there are only a few mobile networks (AT&T, Verizon, Cingular etc), but plenty of 3rd party carriers that use those existing cell towers, will the wireless services be available to customers who use 3rd party cellular services?",
"answer": "Neustar's goal is to integrate with all mobile operators so that the Call Name Optimization and Branded Call Display capabilities become ubiquitous and available to all mobile subscribers."
},
{
"question": "For example, could vulnerable individuals (elders, individuals with cognitive impairments) request more restrictive policies from their carriers?",
"answer": "At this juncture, Neustar's Robocall Mitigation service does not support individual, subscriber-level blocking. There are a number of solutions in this space, and Neustar's network level service is capable of integrating with these subscriber level services to deliver a seamless user experience."
},
{
"question": "Do you have other competitors?",
"answer": "Neustar does not compete with iConnectiv in the CNAM, Call Name Optimization or Branded Call Display space, since iConnectiv does not operate a Line Information Database (LIDB) on behalf of the industry. There are smaller CNAM providers, whom Neustar largely cooperates with, however, Neustar currently manages caller identity capabilities for over 85% of the market (and growing)."
},
{
"question": "Will the new FCC rules on call blocking stop all illegal calls?",
"answer": "The FCC has an order in place to allow telecom service providers to block suspicious calls from invalid or unassigned numbers. These would include numbers with area codes that don't exist, that have not been allocated to a telecom service provider and numbers allocated but not currently in use. A Do-Not-Originate rule would specifically allow service providers to block calls purporting to be from a phone number when the subscriber to that number requests that those calls be blocked. \"Do-Not-Originate\" requests from individuals, businesses or government organizations would prevent their phone numbers from being spoofed by robocallers. However, other calls that originate from other seemingly valid numbers are not affected. A decision to block or tag these calls may be tailored by each telecom service provider. Unfortunately, that leaves the opportunity for some illegal calls to still go through. Neustar can help you manage your verified business numbers and those numbers you wish to protect as Do-Not-Originate with all telecom service providers. Some suspicious calls are tagged as SPAM LIKELY which is causing customers not to answer."
},
{
"question": "How is this handled within the FCC rulings?",
"answer": "The issue of labeling calls as SPAM LIKELY, or something similar, was not addressed by the FCC robocall blocking order. That is an issue that may be examined in the future."
},
{
"question": "Can calls be blocked based on termination number?",
"answer": "The FCC's robocall blocking order only addresses calls that appear to originate from invalid, unallocated, unassigned, or do-not-originate numbers. The FCC previously said, with the consent of a terminating subscriber, that carriers can block suspected robocalls from reaching that subscriber. In a sense, that is blocking based on the terminating number."
},
{
"question": "What is the exact definition of a robocall according to the FCC?",
"answer": "The definition of robocall is very complex. It depends on the type of call – wireline, VoIP, or wireless – the nature of the call – telemarketing, prerecorded, etc. -- and the type of consent given by the call recipient. It would be best for you to consult with your company's counsel for a detailed analysis."
},
{
"question": "Why are these not used?",
"answer": "The Do Not Call (DNC) database is still in operation at the Federal Trade Commission. Legitimate robocallers still routinely check their planned calling lists against the DNC database. Illegal robocallers, such as those that spoof invalid numbers, don't bother to check their calls against the database."
},
{
"question": "What is the penalty if a call is blocked by accident?",
"answer": "Since there is no safe harbor, a provider could be held liable for violating the FCC's call completion rules and could be subject to monetary penalties."
},
{
"question": "Is there a scenario (outside invalid, unassigned, DNO) where calls from legitimate phone numbers are blocked?",
"answer": "Yes, although it is not part of the FCC's robocall blocking order. The FCC had previously said that with the consent of a terminating subscriber, carriers can block suspected robocalls from reaching that subscriber. So, if a carrier has permission from its subscriber, it can block calls that it suspects of being robocalls, some of which may be legitimate calls."
},
{
"question": "According to the FCC, is it against their order to block cold callers?",
"answer": "The FCC robocall blocking order only addressed blocking calls that appeared to be from invalid, unallocated, unassigned or do-not-originate telephone numbers. It did not discuss cold callers. There are many nuances to whether a cold call is a robocall and, if it is a robocall, is it legal. It would be best for you to consult with your company counsel."
},
{
"question": "Once you identify numbers that likely are being used for fraud, do you have a system to transfer those details to law enforcement?",
"answer": "Yes, Neustar will provide a portal to enable all industry participants, including law enforcement, to have access to telephone numbers that are identified as being used for fraudulent purposes (e.g. DNO, invalid, unallocated)."
},
{
"question": "Why is the focus not being placed on the providers/carriers that are allowing this fraudulent traffic into the network?",
"answer": "With the advent of VoIP, calls can be inserted into the network from a laptop computer with spoofed numbers and Caller Name information. There is no originating provider to go after for many of these calls. This particular FCC order targets telephone numbers that are known to be incapable of making calls by allowing terminating carriers to block calls from those numbers. The STIR/SHAKEN protocol will require originating providers to validate calls to the terminating provider. This will help to identify fraudulent traffic from the originating end."
},
{
"question": "What is the FCC Docket number for this order?",
"answer": "FCC Docket 17-59. The FCC docket containing FCC orders and comments by parties is located here."
},
{
"question": "What is Optional and What is Requirement for operators from this FCC Ruling?",
"answer": "The FCC's robocall blocking order is permissive. Service providers are permitted to block robocalls as described in the order, but they are not required to do so."
},
{
"question": "How will new caller authentication regulations and standards impact our outbound calls?",
"answer": "New standards, which aim to provide a 'digital certificate' for certified numbers, will soon be available. In the same way that consumers will release payment to a trusted website because it is certified, consumers will take communication from businesses because the calling number is certified. You'll need to ensure your outbound calls appear as certified. Neustar has co-authored the standards on caller authentication and certification and can help your business understand and implement them."
},
{
"question": "Wouldn't ID be imbedded in the call from the calling provider, not the receiving provider?",
"answer": "Broadcasting caller ID information via SIP headers is not widespread in the USA. But even when available, this information is not typically propagated or displayed by the Caller ID systems."
},
{
"question": "Does Neustar's Caller ID certification solution use the STIR and SHAKEN protocols?",
"answer": "Yes, Neustar has developed its own standards-compliant certification solution, Certified Caller, using the STIR and SHAKEN protocols. We're seeing a lot of 'customized' SPOOF calls, e.g. customer with phone# 718-453-0012 will often get spoof calls from 718-453-0037 or some other number within the same exchange/block. This is very hard to detect because it's unique to the called number."
},
{
"question": "Would your service also have the ability to detect such kind of traffic?",
"answer": "Yes, certification solutions deployed using the STIR and SHAKEN protocols, such as Neustar Certified Caller, are expected to be able to detect this spoofing."
},
{
"question": "How does all this work when these scammers start spoofing legitimate numbers?",
"answer": "Recently we had our main office number used in some sort of scam campaign. We started receiving a flood of calls from New York. We don't do business outside of a small regional area in Northern California and Southern Oregon. We received hundreds of calls from New York people saying we called them when we didn't. It is trivial in today's VoIP environment to spoof phone numbers. The STIR/SHAKEN solution has been developed to specifically address this problem. However, the industry is only in the process of implementing and testing interoperability, as performed in the ATIS Industry Robocall Testbed, hosted by the Neustar Trust Lab. Once fully deployed, these types of fraudulent calls will be stopped. The robocalls are spoofing numbers from within our exchanges, therefore our call screening services don't work."
},
{
"question": "What can we do to stop that?",
"answer": "Deploy a certification solution using the STIR and SHAKEN protocols, such as Neustar Certified Caller. We receive many complaints from consumers saying they are receiving spoofed calls that show up on their caller IDs as phone numbers of neighbors or other known persons."
},
{
"question": "Can a telephone service provider tell where the call using the spoofed phone number is coming from?",
"answer": "The scenario described here is known as \"neighborhood spoofing\" and is unfortunately becoming widespread. A service provider can potentially detect where the call is originating, but through an extensive, manual and non-scalable approach. This also assumes that any other service provider in the call path participates. A certification solution using the STIR and SHAKEN protocols, such as Neustar Certified Caller, is expected to address such spoofing."
},
{
"question": "Can a white listed number be spoofed?",
"answer": "Yes, until the general availability of STIR/SHAKENl authentication, it is possible to spoof whitelisted numbers. We have noticed a new pattern of robocallers calling a specific number in an exchange. If that number is answered, then they will spoof this verified number when placing further calls."
},
{
"question": "What is being done to address this?",
"answer": "The STIR/SHAKEN solution has been developed to specifically address this problem. However, the industry is only in the process of implementing and testing interoperability, as performed in the ATIS Industry Robocall Testbed, hosted by the Neustar Trust Lab. Once fully deployed, these types of fraudulent calls will be stopped."
},
{
"question": "What is the plan for TDM to stop robocalling outside of Stir for the future?",
"answer": "The IETF has started work on potential solutions to deploy STIR out-of-band, and Neustar is actively engaged in this work. Current specifications, specifically RFC 8224 and ATIS-1000074, require end-to-end SIP signaling and in-band transport of associated call signatures."
},
{
"question": "Are the ATIS Testbed summary results available to non-industry entities (e.g., AG's Consumer Protection Divisions) to learn about the types of technologies that may be forthcoming to help consumers?",
"answer": "ATIS intends to publish a Testbed summary for external publication. We expect it will be made available before the end of 2Q 2018."
},
{
"question": "Blocking is not always the best solution, so when can consumers expect STIR SHAKEN to be fully rolled out?",
"answer": "This is difficult to answer since the answer depends on many external factors. Although Neustar has generally available solutions using the STIR/SHAKEN protocols with Certified Caller, service providers need to take the next step towards making these solutions available to consumers. As currently defined, such solutions would only help end-to-end SIP (or VoIP) calls. Unwanted robocalling and caller fraud is an enormous and widespread problem in the U.S. Consumers are frustrated over their time and money being wasted in answering unwanted phone calls and call scams. When they can’t be certain who is calling, they do not answer. Yet, the majority of consumers report regret in not answering a call that turned out to be important."

{
"question": "What is the Computer BIOS?",
"answer": "The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is tasked with conducting a power-on self-test when a computer is initially turned on or booted. After completing this test, the BIOS is responsible for initializing the computer host and attached hardware such as the hard drive, CPU, mousse, keyboard, video card(s), RAM, and other major hardware. Once this step is complete, the boot loader software will be located (typically on the computer’s hard drive or CD/DVD drive). Once located, control of the system will be passed to the OS to continue the system boot or start process. The computer BIOS on a computer running the Windows OS is firmware stored on a flash memory or EEPROM chip located on the computer’s motherboard. The computer’s BIOS can be updated by the end-user through the BIOS UI (user interface) and provides functionality to: change or set the system clock, turning off system hardware, selecting the drive or device to use as a computer boot device, configure system hardware, and setting system or BIOS passwords. With each new generation of computer hardware, both the functionality included in the BIOS and size of the programming code saved in the firmware has increased. The extensible firmware interface (EFI) was released in the mid-2000’s as an alternative to BIOS on 64 bit computers, Linux Kernel 2.6.1 or newer, and x86 or Intel chipped Mac computers."
},
{
"question": "What is the BIOS Sequence?",
"answer": "The BIOS sequence has commonalities across Windows PCs, but is specific to the computer manufacturer. Across manufacturers, the BIOS will normally begin with a check of the CMOS (Configuration Memory Operating System) for any specialized settings for the computer. Next, it will load the computer’s device drivers and computer hardware interrupts. Power management and the computer handlers will be initialized, and BIOS will also conduct a self-test for power. The system settings will be displayed, and it will determine the bootable devices in or connected to the computer and start the host’s boot sequence based on the preferred device to load the computer’s operating system. The order that these checks are accomplished can be modified by the computer manufacturer based on specific needs of the platform. In order to change the BIOS settings through the CMOS setup and interface, the end-user must access the setup during the boot process of the computer. This access relies upon a combination of one or more key strokes during the computer’s start-up to interrupt the start-up process. For most Windows computers, these keys or sequence of required keys will be displayed on the computer’s screen during reboot. Once the user gains access to the CMOS setup, there will be several options available to him or her to make changes. Unlike the traditional Windows interface, the BIOS configuration user interface (UI) does not support the use of the Windows mouse. Keyboard keys such as the arrow keys and “+” or “-“symbols must be used to navigate through the setup menus and make changes. Available settings for modification include changing the system date and time, Plug-and-Play setting modifications, driver configuration, password settings, changing the system boot sequence, memory settings, and changing how the computer’s power is managed. Once the BIOS is changed through the computer’s CMOS interface, it will save the changes and force a restart of the computer for them to take place."
},
{
"question": "What are the Common BIOS Access Codes?",
"answer": "Bios supplier codes are normally included on OEM built or supplied computers intended for resale to consumers. Advanced Logic Research (ALR) – There are two access codes: “F2″ or “CTRL” + ”ALT” + “ESC”. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) – Access code is: “F1″. American Megatrends (AMI) – Access code is “Del”. Award BIOS – There are two access codes: “DEL” or “CTRL” + ”ALT” + ”ESC”. Datatech Enterprises (DTK) – Access code is: “CTRL” + “ALT” + “ESC”. Pheonix BIOS – There are two access codes: “CTRL” + “ALT” + “INS” or “CTRL” + “ALT” + “INS”. Acer – There are three access codes: “F1″, “F2″ or “CTRL” + “ALT” + “ESC”. Compaq – The access code is: “F10″. CompUSA – The access code is: “DEL”. Cybermax – The access code is: “ESC”. + “F1″ on Dell laptops. eMachines – The two access codes are: “DEL” or “F2″. Gateway – The two access codes are: “F1″ or “F2″. Hewlett-Packard (HP) – The three access codes are: “F1″, “F2″ or “Esc”. IBM – The three access codes are: “F1″, “CTRL” + “ALT” + “INS”, or “CTRL” + “ALT” + “DEL”. Lenovo – The four access codes are: “F1″, “F2″, “CTRL” + “ALT” + “F3”, or “CTRL” + “ALT” + “INS”. Micron – The three access codes are: “F1″, “F2″ or “DEL”. Packard Bell – The three access codes are: “F1″, “F2″ or “DEL”. Seanix – The access code is: “Del”. Sony – The three access codes are: “F2″, “F3″ or “DEL”. Toshiba – The three codes are: “F1″, “F2″ or “ESC”. The computer’s BIOS may require updating periodically to allow computer hardware that has been manufactured since the computer was produced to be recognized. Updating or changing the BIOS on a computer requires specialized software from the BIOS manufacturer. Once obtained, the update to the BIOS must be the appropriate one for the version of BIOS installed on the computer. To ensure the right update is applied, the version of the current BIOS can be found by checking the date and revision number listed on the computer screen during the computer’s startup. This information can then be used on the BIOS manufacturer’s website to find and download the appropriate update. The BIOS update utility and update itself is then copied to a CD or DVD to use the next time the computer boots. Note that you may have to change the boot order of the computer to look at the CD/DVD drive first during the boot sequence. After the utility program is run, the old BIOS software will be erased and replaced with the current version provided by the manufacturer. The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) was created as a replacement for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). EFI was invented primarily to help the expansion of Intel chipped CPUs (x86) to non-Windows operating systems such as found on Mac OS X. To date, the support by other computer manufacturers to switch to EFI has been slow, but Intel continues to push for support of the technology. For the version implemented on Mac OS X, Apple has included a number of the Open Firmware commands to include startup disk selection (pressing the “option” key during startup) and the Target Disk Mode (pressing the “T” key during startup. EFI is supported on the following operating systems: Windows Server 2003, 64 bit Windows (to include Windows Vista 64 bit), Mac OS X 10.4.4+, and some of the Linux distributions. EFI is not supported on 32 bit Windows distros and some of the Linux variants. Boot cd:,installyaboot – To boot the Mac using the CD using the yaboot directory on Linux CDs. Eject cd – Ejects a CD/DVD from the Mac. For those who are familiar with the Sun Microsystems/Oracle SPARC systems, the Open Firmware interface functions similarly by storing environmental variables using the setenv command. These variables can be viewed using printenv. Another commonality is that both systems are stored on NVRAM."

"question": "How can we sign up to the charter?",
"answer": "All legal service providers can sign up to the charter. It doesn't matter if you're a sole practitioner, a high street firm, an in-house legal team or a global legal practice, everyone is welcome and encouraged to turn their commitment to diversity into positive action. The charter is accompanied by a set of protocols designed to help you fulfil the charter's commitments in certain areas of your business. The reporting and monitoring protocol helps you to collect and record the diversity statistics of your workforce, a task that is now a regulatory requirement. The flexible working protocol helps you to implement flexible working practices into your business so that you can attract and retain a wider pool of talent. There is also a legal procurement protocol which is a commitment by purchasers of legal services to consider diversity and inclusion as part of their normal tendering process. All protocols come with checklists and toolkits to help you implement them. You can find more information on all of the protocols by visiting our website. They are also available for you to access in the Charter reporting tool. No. Signing up the charter is completely free. Clients, like legal practices, recognise the importance of good diversity and inclusion practices, and are increasingly keen to work with firms who promote these values. Many corporate clients are also moving towards selection and de-selection of firms based on their demonstrable diversity and inclusion commitment and performance. Clients who have signed up to the procurement protocol require prospective legal service providers to say whether they have signed up to the Diversity and Inclusion Charter. This is then considered as part of the procurement bid. As part of their commitment to the charter, all signatories must participate in an biennial report. They do this through completing a self assessment against a set of standards. The self assessment results are collected through an easy to use online form, and the process helps you to identify good diversity and inclusion practices from the past year and chart your firm’s progress. By completing the self assessment against the standards signatories demonstrate how the firm is communicating diversity and inclusion practices and engaging stakeholders, as well as the positive outcomes that have been achieved as a result of signing up to the charter. The results of these self assessment forms are then collated and published in aggregate at the end of the year in the Law Society Diversity and Inclusion Charter Biennial Review. Signing up to the Diversity and Inclusion Charter is easy. A partner or director needs to email the Law Society at [email protected] stating their commitment. Once we have this we will ask for some information from you to ensure all signatories meet the charter's requirements. We'll then create an account for the firm."

"question": "How Many Colleges Should I Visit Before Applying?",
"answer": "Visiting colleges on your wish list is an essential part of the application process. Simply researching colleges online or on paper isn’t sufficient. Picking a college sight unseen can spell disappointment and cause you to transfer. There’s no better way to determine whether a college campus is right for you than by actually visiting it. If you’re wondering how many to visit, there’s no magic number. Visiting only one is likely too few, yet traveling to 10 or more could be too expensive. It’s typically recommended that high school students visit at least their first and second choice universities. Schedule campus visits for every college you’re strongly considering. Doing so will help you determine which college communities check off your must-haves. Finding your college fit out of various options is tough. That’s why making the most of campus visits is so important before the application phase. Visiting a college gives you a firsthand view of campus life beyond what’s mentioned in brochures and websites. Visitors are able to sit in lecture halls, walk the quad, sample dining food, and even sleep in dorms. College visits allow you to interact with current students and faculty to answer any questions you have. It’s a great way to evaluate the college’s social scene, campus diversity, dorm size, etc. Many students can then determine where they can comfortably spend the next four or more years. Senior year of high school is stressful enough with balancing schoolwork, social activities, and college applications. Getting campus visits out of the way can lessen the burden. Visiting schools in the sophomore and junior years is often best. If you’re already aware of your Plan A and B colleges, start with them. Mondays through Thursdays are ideal because classes are in full swing. Mid-August is a popular time since colleges begin their semester well before high schools. Taking time to travel to colleges during winter or spring break is also smart. Avoid visiting when colleges aren’t in session though, including exam weeks. Taking a campus tour will show you all of the college’s highlights, but don’t forget to explore on your own. Be sure to visit any campus facilities important to you, such as the library, computer labs, gymnasium, and research labs. Don’t let the opportunity to connect with future peers and faculty slip by. Get involved in information sessions and inquire about extra-curricular activities. If possible, schedule your admissions interview during your visit and introduce yourself to the admissions staff. Don’t be shy asking about campus safety policies, financial aid packages, academic requirements, etc. Take pictures and notes to better compare your campus visits later on. College visits can last anywhere from a few hours to overnight, but they’re always valuable. All college-bound high schoolers should schedule campus visits to decide whether specific colleges are a good match. If you’re ready to begin a college visit, contact the school’s admissions office either by email or phone. Most universities have limited spots for formal visits and organized tours, so make your reservation early. After visiting colleges, you’ll be prepared to narrow down your list of schools to apply to."

"answer": "CouchDB does not have a login option. Very useful when Couch runs on lean device like PI, and for many other cases. I love Couchdb because it's a database that talks HTTP/REST. Despite drawbacks, I still think CouchDB has a lot of potential to revolutionize the way people write webapps. I certainly still plan to use it for quick hacking, and Couch’s append-only design means I’ll never have to worry about my data getting corrupted. The experience we had with CouchDB was pretty positive. It didn't enforce schemas, so it was easy to change schemas in our code without worrying about a data migration. Overall, it was relatively intuitive to use."

{
"question": "Can you tell me the value of each sheet?",
"answer": "Answer: It is very difficult for us to assess any value on a general group of sheets as the values depend on specific title, condition, composer, artist and other complex interrelationships. The Parlor Songs Academy does not and can not fairly evaluate prices without a physical inspection and we are simply not equipped nor do we have the resources to assess values. We get many such requests and interestingly, there really is no single source where one can obtain an appraisal of a collection. I am aware of a few \"experts\" who from time to time may appraise collections but they are few and far between and only do it for special friends and situations. That leaves most of us in the dark and at the mercy of antique dealers or others who often do not really understand the special niche sheet music seems to have in the ephemera collecting field. I'm assuming you read our article about valuation and collecting, if not see below. The value of sheet music can be deceptive for even though you may have a very old sheet that looks like it should be valuable, it may not be simply due to the fact that millions were printed and thousands still survive. Yet others, that look dull and uninspiring can be worth hundreds. Below is a standard reply I send to inquiries such as yours with the hopes that you'll be able to get some idea of the value of the collection. There are some resources available for the person desiring to get an idea of value. The best one that indicates prevailing values is the current selling prices bid for items for sale on some of the electronic auction sites such as Ebay. Another possibility is searching the net by title to see if a given title is up for sale at private sites. That option is time intensive and generally does not have a high success rate. Other resources for you might include some of the clubs and publications that exist. These addresses are subject to change at any time and I can't be responsible for further information as to their whereabouts. Of course, our article about collecting and valuation is another possible source of information and if you have not read it, we suggest that you do to get an idea of the complexities of valuation. You can see it at: http://www.parlorsongs.ac/insearch/collecting/collecting1.php it is in two parts so just click the link to part two after reviewing part one. For me, the bottom line is whatever someone is willing to pay at any given time and for that, I go back to Ebay as a potential guide. I'm sorry that we cannot be more helpful, we are interested in you and advancing the collection of sheet music. However we ask that you please understand that we are a small organization and the volume of these inquiries has exceeded our capacity to respond beyond these general guidelines. We appreciate your visits to us and hope you will continue to visit regularly."
},
{
"question": "Question: Is there a price guide available for individual sheets that will tell me the value of my collection?",
"answer": "Answer: This question is answered somewhat in the prior question. There really is no reliable guide to pricing available either in print or on-line although there are publications that attempt to do so. The problem with it is that by the time a book is compiled and printed, the prices may have already changed in either direction. In addition, most of the guides I'm aware of are only the opinions of a few experts and quite honestly, the best selling such guide is of questionable reliability, however it does give some general ideas as to potential value but has been proven to have many errors and new editions do not seem to be updated as far as prices go. That said, the book is: The Sheet Music Reference and Price Guide by Anna Marie Guiheen and Marie-Reine A. Pafik. I am not advocating you purchase this book, only making you aware of its availability and limitations. You can find it in most major book stores or at Amazon.com. Some websites that are similar to ours make an attempt to suggest values but they are few and far between and then again, rapidly become outdated and in my estimation value the sheets at extreme high end. You'll find antique shops that value sheets way out of the true value range and flea markets that also do the same but you can also find the reverse. As I mentioned in our article on collecting sheet music, it is a very complex set of attributes that establish the value. The best true gauge is what people are willing to pay and for that, I generally rely on what the trends are at Ebay. The sheet music listings there are followed by many collectors and many experts so most of the time, when an item is bid on by several bidders it can give you a good indication of values. You can't rely on the posted prices too much as many sellers way overestimate value. For example, there was a Carrie Jacobs-Bond autographed song sheet that someone posted with a minimum price of over $600. The more likely value of the item is $25 or $30. Needless to say, that clueless poster has posted it several times now and no-one has bid on it yet. In general, sheet music selling prices are much less than most people may think. Sheets that sell for over $25 are a very small percentage of the total. The main reason is that most popular songs were published in the millions and even after almost 100 years, there are still many copies floating around. It is only the truly unique or very rare that get the high prices. I know I've hedged a lot but it's really not possible for me to tell you a value without some extensive research and actually seeing the condition of the sheets you have and unfortunately, due to the many requests we get for estimates, we just don't have time to go beyond these rather nebulous answers. Our feeling is that it is not the monetary value that is important rather they are valuable treasures from the past to be preserved, to enjoy the music or the cover art."
},
{
"question": "How can I donate music to The Parlor Songs Academy?",
"answer": "Answer: We appreciate kind offers to make sheet music available to us. In general we are not actively purchasing additional music but depend on donations to provide new sheet music to us. On rare occasions we will buy lots of music or individual sheets that fill gaps in our collection or offer exceptional value (lots of sheets for little cost). Donations to us are not tax deductible but we provide an inventory after receiving the donation that provides you with a record of your donation.. To donate music, contact us and we'll provide shipping information. Cost of packaging and shipping is not reimbursed."
},
{
"question": "Question: If you won't buy it then how can I sell my sheet music?",
"answer": "To sell sheet music we believe that the Ebay auction site is your best option. At any given point there are well over 10,000 titles for sale and it is frequented by collectors from around the world. The disadvantage is you must rely on your item being spotted by collectors and to get the best price you would hope that several collectors would bid for it to up the price. Usually though the music will sell for a nominal value. With the current recsession fewer titles are being bid on and purchased and those that are sell for much lower prices than in prior years. You can try to sell music locally through flea markets or antique shops that accept consignments but due to limited exposure, they may or may not sell. The huge exposure on Ebay tends to be more successful but results in degraded prices sometimes due to the commonality of many sheets."

{
"question": "Question: I'm searching for information about a particular song (lyrics, recording or sheet music), can you help me find it?",
"answer": "Answer: In general, yes, we may be able to help, and will usually try. There are limits though. In general, our expertise, resource library and collection is limited to the period from 1890 to 1930 or so. We can only perform (on our site) or show the music and lyrics for songs written prior to 1923 but can attempt to help you with items up to and sometimes through the 1930s. We do ask a couple of things though. Please do a thorough search of our site before writing. You can browse throug our catalog which lists all the songs that are posted on the site. You can also use our search page. Often, songs that we receive inquiries about are published on our site. Since around 2002 we've also included lyrics. We also ask that you try to search the net for information first before writing to us as about 90% of the answers we provide can be found on the net. For songs that seem to be out of print and are still in copyright, you can find the copyright owner or authorized agent by looking the song up at the ASCAP or BMI site search pages. ParlorSongs.com & The ParlorSongs Academy offers song search information as a service without compensation. Though our advice or results are based on standard US copyright law provisions, we have no certified legal expertise in copyright law and given the vagaries of copyright law, our results cannot be construed as legal advice. Our research, though done with diligence and attempts to be as factual as possible, cannot replace the requestors own research and/or that of a qualified attorney specializing in intellectual property and copyright law."

{
"question": "Question: I'd like to purchase sheet music of one or several songs featured on your site, how can I do that?",
"answer": "We want to be sure that you know that we do sell sheet music copies (reproductions) of most of the music that appears on our site. If it's in our catalog and has a publication date before 1923, odds are we can provide a reprint. For more information about our reprint service see our store page. If you decide that you want to purchase a given sheet write to us or you can order direct via the PayPal service which accepts MasterCard or Visa. If you know the title and price (usually $7 including postage for sheets up to 6 pages in length (most) and for less than six copies) place your order at by email to and we will provide payment instructions.

If outside the US, let us know and we'll determine the postage.If you are a music store and would like to carry our sheet music please contact us directly. If you decide you want to for sure order something contact us for availability and we'll get right back to you with the final price and payment instructions Be sure to tell us if you reside outside the US. Another option besides printed music is to receive it electronically and print it yourself.. It is sent as a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) file as a mail attachment. If you want to go that route, make sure your e-mail service allows large file attachments, the sizs of the files vary from 250 kb to 1.5mb. Please specify in your order if you want the electronic version. Do NOT send your credit card info to us via e-mail. The PayPal system is secure, email is not.

"question": "Does it seem that you get one sinus infection cleared only to have another one start?",
"answer": "If you are wondering if balloon sinus surgery (balloon sinuplasty or BSP) and have questions about this procedure you’ve come to the right place. We have answers to your questions."
},
{
"question": "Is it safe?",
"answer": "BSP is FDA approved and has been performed over 350,000 times. All surgery carries risk, but because balloon sinus surgery is minimally invasive and can be performed under local anesthetic the risks are greatly reduced."
},
{
"question": "Do I have to stay in the hospital?",
"answer": "No. We perform balloon sinus surgery under a local anesthetic right in our offices. You don’t need to go to the hospital, and you don’t need to stay overnight."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take?",
"answer": "The time it takes to perform the procedure varies depending on the sinuses and the patient. Generally, the procedure doesn’t take much more than 1 to ½ hours. Plan on spending a more time than that in the office."
},
{
"question": "Does it hurt?",
"answer": "This is the most common question we get. We will make sure that you are relaxed and the area is completely numb before the procedure begins. When the balloon is inflated you may feel some pressure, but you will not feel pain."
},
{
"question": "Can I drive myself home?",
"answer": "If no pre-procedure sedative was used you should be able to drive home in about 15 minutes or so after the procedure."
},
{
"question": "Will I have bruises around my eyes?",
"answer": "The procedure will not cause bruising around your eyes. It will not cause bruising any place on your body."
},
{
"question": "Will I have swelling?",
"answer": "You may experience some swelling in the days after your procedure. Sleeping with your head elevated and using saline rinses will help."
},
{
"question": "Will my nose look different?",
"answer": "The procedure will not change the outward appearance of your nose. Once your recovery is complete, you will look exactly the same to your friends and co-workers."
},
{
"question": "Will I have to have nasal packing?",
"answer": "Your surgery will be on your sinuses, not your nasal passages. Nasal packing will not be necessary."
},
{
"question": "How long is recovery?",
"answer": "Most people can resume normal activities in about two days. I take medication for another condition."
},
{
"question": "Can I still have the procedure?",
"answer": "When you visit the ENT to discuss balloon sinus surgery, be sure to bring along a list of all medications and supplements you take and the frequency of the dose. You will need to stop taking some medications days (like warfarin) or weeks (like adalimumab) before the procedure can be performed."
},
{
"question": "How does the balloon make the sinus stay open?",
"answer": "Good question! Once inflated, the balloon makes very small micro-fractures to the bone. The bone keeps this position as it heals. This is why the procedure can be a permanent treatment for many. I have a deviated septum."
},
{
"question": "Will this surgery help?",
"answer": "Your problem is a nasal problem, not a sinus problem. The ENT can help, but they will use a different procedure for your condition."
},
{
"question": "How long does the relief last?",
"answer": "Most patients report they are still symptom free after two years. You should have relief for years to come."

"question": "2) How many primates are research subjects per year?",
"answer": "According to the Fiscal Year 2006 Animal Welfare Enforcement report, 1,012,713 warm-blooded animals were used in research, testing, teaching, or experimentation. This figure does not cover laboratory rats and mice, and farm animals used exclusively in agricultural research. Of these, 62,315 primates (6.15% of the total) were used. Two points should be made. First, the vast majority of animals used in research are laboratory rats and mice. In 1995, researchers at Tufts University Center for Animals and Public Policy estimated that 14-21 million animals were used in American laboratories in 1992. In 1986, the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment reported that that its best estimate was 17-22 million. The difference between the 1.01 million and the estimated 14-22 million numbers mostly reflects rats and mice (and birds). Second, individual animals are 'used' more than once, in most cases. That is, many, if not most, of the 62,315 primates studied in 2006 were probably also studied in 2005, and again in 2007. These numbers refer just to captive animals; unfortunately, there is no estimate available for the number studied in their natural habitat. (Reference here)."

{
"question": "What can I do to feel better when I am over there?",
"answer": "Your allergy to cats is shared with about six to 10 million people in the USA alone. Most of the time the source of the allergy is misunderstood. Some people believe they have an allergy because of the cat’s fur or the cat’s dander, which are the scales of the skin. Though possible there are other sources for cat allergies as well. The source of cat allergies primary comes from the albumin found in urine, saliva and blood. There is also an allergen emanating from the cat’s saliva and sweat, which is due to a protein carbohydrate structure called Fel d 1 allergen. The Fel d 1 allergen is smaller than pollen or mold spores. To combat this allergen you might try Flonase or Zyrtec if you haven’t tried them already. However, what usually happens is that this allergen swiftly bypasses the nasal passageway and goes directly to the lungs. When it gets to the lungs it can cause asthma, which might be a reason why you are not getting the benefit from regular allergy medication. Generally speaking the medication is same for all allergies from oral antihistamines, corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and nasal steroids. Since you are having trouble with finding the right medication you will need to talk to your doctor about it. Since this allergen comes to the surface when the cat licks his fur, it can rest on the fur or because it is an airborne allergen it can remain in the air or attach itself to walls or ceilings and float everywhere. What is amazing this allergen can be present years after the cats have been removed from the house. The first thing that is required is that your boyfriend thoroughly cleans his house to get rid of the allergen. Since this allergen is a protein it can be broken down, this process is called denaturing. There are acids or alkaline compounds, which can de nature the allergen. The best way combat an allergy is to avoid it or get rid of it. Your boyfriend can purchase a product called ADMS spray and he can spray everything with it. ADMS spray is not only for cat dander it works on other allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and mold. and mildew. This product is an inorganic anti-allergen with an oxidizing compound, which destroys the allergens. It does not stain and it can be used on everything even bedding. Your boyfriend might also consider investing in a HEPA filter air filtering system and a HEPA vacuum cleaner. He must thoroughly wash the carpets or better still get rid of them because carpets are a common allergen source.In terms of the cat if it is a male the cat needs to be neutered, this will cut down on the spraying and spreading of the allergen through its urine. Though it seems unnatural the cat will need to be bathed a couple of times a week, or at least wipe the cat with a wet clothe daily. Though easier said than done your boyfriend may have to limit the access the cat has to the house, especially in the bedroom or carpeted areas if he is an indoor cat. If he is an outdoor cat let stay outside; weather permitting. Your boyfriend can also use a product on the cat’s coat called Allerpet C, that will not only destroy the allergen but will make the cat’s fur nice and shiny. Another thing to consider is that the cat may not be the problem in the first place. Perhaps you are allergic to dust mites, which every house will have. It is good to get the skin prick test or if your skin is very sensitive the RAST (radioallergosorbent test). This test will identify if poor kitty is really the blame for making you feel so uncomfortable when you are at your boyfriend’s house. After all, your boyfriend loves his kitty too and certainly wants both of you in his life."

"answer": "Yes. Call into Optique Opticians and adjustments to your spectacles can be carried out while you wait. No appointment is necessary."
},
{
"question": "Why is an eye examination so important?",
"answer": "Your eyes are precious and need to be taken care of. Regular eye examinations will ensure that both the health of your eyes and your vision can be closely monitored and any problems detected at an early stage. You should have an eye examination every 2 years and every 12 months if you have glaucoma or diabetes. Any old aged pensioners 70 or over are entitled to a free NHS eye test every 12 months. This will ensure that both the health of your eyes and changes in vision can be monitored and any problems detected You may need to visit the Opticians more frequently, depending on the condition of your eyes, your age and your medical history. At each appointment your optometrist will advise you on when to return."
},
{
"question": "How often should I change my glasses?",
"answer": "You can change your glasses as often as you feel like it, there is no set timeframe. People will tend to change their glasses when their prescription changes and of course to change the style and look of their spectacles."
},
{
"question": "How often should my child have their eyes tested?",
"answer": "You should follow the advice of your optometrist, as this will depend on the age and condition of your child’s eyes. However, as a general rule, children’s eyes should be tested every 6-12 months."
},
{
"question": "Does my child need to be able to read before they can have an eye examination?",
"answer": "No, this is a common misconception. Children can be examined at any age. Optometrists can use a variety of methods to check both the vision and health of your child’s eyes, even if the child is not old enough to communicate. As your child’s reading and communication skills develop, the eye examination will be adapted accordingly. By the time your child is 8 years old their eyes will be fully developed. It is important that any problems are detected before this stage."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if my child is having problems with their eyes?",
"answer": "As a baby, your child’s vision will undergo rapid changes – for example it is normal for their eyes to wander during the first four months. However, it is worth consulting your doctor if your baby suffers from persistent eye infections or their eyes do not appear to be working together perfectly (this may indicate a squint). Once your child reaches school age, problems may be indicated by an inability to recognise colours and shapes, a lack of interest or difficulty in reading, persistent headaches, blurred vision or squinting."
},
{
"question": "How will I know if my child has a squint?",
"answer": "Squints can be very difficult to see, especially in babies and young children. If you are concerned, you should take them to be seen by an Optometrist as soon as possible – the earlier a squint is detected the greater the chance of it being corrected."
},
{
"question": "How much will my child’s glasses cost?",
"answer": "Children 16 years or under receive a free eye examination in conjunction with the appropriate NHS voucher. At Optique Opticians, all of our children’s frames are free to children 16 years or under. In addition, we also stock a range of kid’s private frames at affordable prices, some of which include frames with memory metal. We also do free eye tests and glasses from the NHS for students in full time education under the age of 19."
},
{
"question": "If my husband and I wear glasses will our children also need glasses?",
"answer": "Not necessarily. However it is more likely as eye conditions can be inherited so it is advisable to have your children’s eyes examined on a regular basis (every 6-12 months)."
},
{
"question": "If one of my children needs glasses will they all need them?",
"answer": "If a member of the immediate family wears glasses then we would advise you to have the whole family checked regularly by an optometrist. New-born babies can only see light and dark shapes. After about 4 weeks they will begin to see the outline of objects and by 8 weeks they will be aware of detail. Children’s eyes continue to develop until they are 8 years old."
},
{
"question": "What is the legal vision requirement for driving?",
"answer": "You must be able to read a number plate from a distance of 20.5 metres (67 feet). Your field of vision must be 120 degrees wide and 20 degrees both above and below the horizontal. You must not drive if you have double vision. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that these requirements are met and to inform the DVLA if they are in doubt. Regular eye examinations are therefore recommended."
},
{
"question": "Which frames are best for driving?",
"answer": "You should choose frames that do not obscure your vision such as rimless styles or thin frames, with sides that are above eye level."
},
{
"question": "Which lenses are best for driving?",
"answer": "Plastic lenses are recommended, as they are both lighter and safer should you be involved in an accident. Anti-reflection coating reduces glare and reflections and is especially beneficial for night-time driving as it will reduce dazzle from headlights. We also deal in non-prescription night driving glasses to cut out glare of on coming car headlights. Tinted lenses are suitable for daytime driving under normal weather conditions. However, it is not recommend that they be used either at night, or in poor driving conditions."
},
{
"question": "I work on a VDU all day, which lenses should I choose?",
"answer": "Choose lenses with an anti-reflection coating – they will help to reduce the glare from your computer screen."
},
{
"question": "Should I wear my glasses when I use the VDU?",
"answer": "If you normally wear glasses all the time then your eyes will feel more comfortable if you wear them whilst operating the VDU. Inform your Optometrist that you are a VDU operator and they will be able to offer you advice."
},
{
"question": "How long should I use a VDU for?",
"answer": "It is important that you take regular breaks every twenty minutes. Try to relax your eyes by looking away from the screen and focusing on something in the distance."
},
{
"question": "How will I know that I need an eye examination if I use a VDU?",
"answer": "You should visit the Opticians if you suffer from persistent headaches, eyestrain, squinting, blurred vision, double vision, dry eyes, watery eyes or excessive blinking. You should ensure that you have an eye examination every 2 years – this is particularly important if you regularly use a VDU."
},
{
"question": "Why have my eyes been worse since I’ve been using a VDU?",
"answer": "Your eyes may have been worse because using a VDU is so visually demanding. The VDU will have not caused the condition, however the extra demands placed on your eyes will have caused the symptoms to show."
},
{
"question": "How can I stop my eyes from getting tired when using a VDU?",
"answer": "Make sure you take regular breaks; focus on something in the distance every 20 minutes. It is also essential that your workstation is set up correctly for your personal use. The screen should be 10-20 degrees below your eye level. Avoid glare by making sure that light sources are neither in front or behind your screen and ensure that both the brightness and contrast are set at a comfortable level."
},
{
"question": "Should my employer pay for my glasses now that I use a computer?",
"answer": "No. If you regularly use a VDU as part of your work then your employer must pay for regular eye examinations. Your employer is only obliged to pay for a pair of basic glasses if they are specifically for VDU use – if you use them at any other time, your employer does not have to pay for them."
},
{
"question": "What is an anti-reflection coating?",
"answer": "An anti-reflection coating makes lenses virtually invisible. It reduces reflections and increases the amount of light transmitted through the lenses. The coating increases both contrast and clarity."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if I need an anti-reflection coating on my spectacles?",
"answer": "An anti-reflection coating reflection can benefit all spectacle wearers as it reduces unwanted reflections. However, the coating can be of particular benefit to you if you wear high-index lenses, are a VDU operator, regularly drive at night, or work in artificial lighting. Our trained staff can advise you further."
},
{
"question": "Why does my anti-reflection coating need cleaning so often?",
"answer": "An anti-reflection coating makes lenses virtually invisible therefore any marks will be very apparent. Make sure that you use a spray and cloth designed specifically to be used on lenses with an anti-reflection coating, as these won’t leave greasy marks."
},
{
"question": "Will I always feel that I am wearing contact lenses?",
"answer": "You will be pleasantly surprised to discover how comfortable your contact lenses are. Eyes naturally react at first to new sensations, but most people quickly forget that they are wearing contact lenses."
},
{
"question": "Will other people see that I am wearing them?",
"answer": "NO. The ‘glassy-eye look’ is a thing of the past. Most wearers say that the major benefit of contact lenses is that they are invisible to others. We keep some contact lenses in stock in our stores and others can be ordered very quickly. If you join the Optique Vision Plan some plans will supply your replacement lens at no charge. No. Many people from young children to the elderly can wear contact lenses very successfully. Whatever your age, our Optician will take account of your individual requirements. Astigmatism should not prevent successful contact lens wear, as contact lenses fit close to the surface of the eye, most astigmatism is automatically corrected by hard or gas permeable lenses. Alternatively soft toric contact lenses will also correct the astigmatism. It is unlikely that you will know if you have glaucoma, as the symptoms do not develop until the late stages of the disease. It is therefore very important to visit your optometrist on a regular basis, as they will be able to detect early signs of glaucoma. This is particularly important if there is a history of the disease in your family. Treatment can control glaucoma, but not cure it. Glaucoma is usually treated with eye-drops, which need to be used daily. These will act to reduce the pressure of the fluid in the eye and prevent any further damage. Glaucoma sufferers, or those with a family history and over 40, are entitled to an annual eye examination paid for by the NHS."
},
{
"question": "Can only the elderly get Glaucoma?",
"answer": "No. Glaucoma affects about 2% of people over 40 years old. Some groups are more susceptible to the disease. These include anyone whose immediate family has a history of glaucoma, diabetics, Afro-Caribbean’s and the very short-sighted. Symptoms of a cataract are blurred vision, double vision (especially in one eye), colour changes (things may appear to have a yellow tinge) and glare problems caused by bright sunlight and direct lighting. Contact your optometrist if you are concerned, as they will be able to detect any problems."
},
{
"question": "Do I need stronger glasses if I have a cataract?",
"answer": "Changing to stronger lenses may improve the early changes caused by cataracts. However, to restore clear vision in the long-term, the cataract will need to be removed. Your eyes may become itchy, pink and watery and your eyelids inflamed. You may also have a sticky discharge from your eyes. Conjunctivitis can potentially lead to complications so it is always best to visit your doctor or optometrist for treatment. Conjunctivitis can be very infectious and easily spread. You should avoid touching your eyes and sharing towels or flannels."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if I have a retinal detachment?",
"answer": "You may suffer from a sudden loss of vision and notice an increase in the number of spots or floaters in your vision. You may also be aware of flashes of light or dark shadows across your vision. A retinal detachment requires urgent treatment and referral to casualty.

"question": "Can students take courses offered in the PSEO program full or part time?",
"answer": "Either. Students may take college level courses through the PSEO program full or part time."
},
{
"question": "Who can participate in courses in the PSEO program?",
"answer": "Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) is a program that allows 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade students to earn college credit while still in high school, through enrollment in and successful completion of college-level courses. With traditional PSEO, these courses are generally offered on the campus of the postsecondary institution; some courses are offered online. Most PSEO courses are only open to high school students during their 11th- and 12th-grade year, with each participating college and university setting their own requirements for enrollment into PSEO courses and programs. There are limitations regarding who can participate in each of these grades. Please see below for additional information on this."
},
{
"question": "What are the admission requirements that colleges use to determine who can take courses under the PSEO program?",
"answer": "This varies from one college and university to another. There’s no single website that lists all the admissions requirements, so you need to go to the website of any higher education institution you are considering. University of Minnesota campuses have certain requirements, Minnesota and State Colleges have others, and each private college has its own. We recommend that you check with the higher education institutions you are considering. Please do NOT assume that all colleges and universities have the same class rank, grade point average or test score requirement. They don’t."
},
{
"question": "Are 10th-grade students allowed to partake in the PSEO program?",
"answer": "Legislation allows public school 10th-grade students to enroll initially in one Career and Technical Education (CTE) course through PSEO. If the student earns a “C” or higher grade in this first course, she/he is eligible to take additional CTE courses while in 10th grade. In order to be eligible, a 10th-grade student must have met the proficiency level of “meets or exceeds” on the 8th-grade MCA reading test. If the student did not take the MCA, another reading assessment accepted by the enrolling postsecondary institution can be substituted. Home school students are currently allowed to take PSEO courses in 11th- and 12th-grade, but are not allowed to take a career-technical course in the 10th-grade."
},
{
"question": "Are transportation funds available to help students attend courses on college campuses via the PSEO program?",
"answer": "YES, if the student is from a low-income family. To qualify for reimbursement, a student must be a member of a family with an income at or below federal poverty guidelines. The dollar amounts for various family sizes. Details about eligibility are available here."
},
{
"question": "Must school districts provide online PSEO students with computer and internet access?",
"answer": "YES. School districts must allow a PSEO student reasonable access to the high school building, computers and/or other technology resources during regular school hours to participate in PSEO courses, whether online or on campus."
},
{
"question": "How will credits under the PSEO program be accepted by colleges and universities?",
"answer": "Transfer and credit acceptance policies vary among public and private colleges and universities in Minnesota and other states. At the request of the Minnesota legislature, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education contacted all Minnesota public and private colleges and universities. Here is a link to the report that MOHE compiled on this issue. We strongly encourage students and/or parents to check with colleges and universities that students are considering to determine their acceptance policies. More information is available on the Minnesota Department of Education's website."

{
"question": "Do I need a lawyer to represent me in the Maintenance Court?",
"answer": "No, you don’t need a lawyer to represent you. You have the right to use an attorney if you can afford one, but it isn’t compulsory. Few single parents can genuinely afford the expense."
},
{
"question": "Do the Maintenance obligations of the parents end when the child turns 18?",
"answer": "Not necessarily, the obligation of maintenance should continue until the child is self sufficient. A child of 18 who still lives at home and is continuing with his/her studies will still require financial assistance. The support however diminish depending on circumstances and of course the ability of the young adult to find part time employment. Furthermore, in many cases the claim for maintenance will be that of the child, not the ‘custodian’ parent. He hasn't paid his Maintenance for several months."
},
{
"question": "Can I stop his visits with our children?",
"answer": "No. Maintenance and contact (access) issues are handled separately in court. You cannot withhold access if he falls behind with his payments. Non-payment of maintenance is a criminal offence, for which he can be sent to prison. (Denial of access is too). You have to continue allowing him access and take the arrears up with the maintenance courts."
},
{
"question": "How can I accurately determine what my children's monthly costs are?",
"answer": "It’s a time consuming exercise. Every expense, both the household overheads and the expenses specific to each child, must be accounted for. If you take short cuts by guessing, you could be shooting yourself in the foot. There is a step-by-step guide available for purchase on our Products page. It’s a lengthy document that takes you through the Maintenance Court application “Income & Expenditure” pages that you will be required to complete when applying for your order. The form is deceptive because most people don’t realise how many factors there are to consider within each item. We’ve done half the work for you, giving you many useful hints and tips along the way."
},
{
"question": "How much Maintenance should be paid?",
"answer": "Each case is different; there is no right or wrong answer. Parents should contribute to the cost according to their means. For example, if the child’s monthly cost amounts to R2 000.00 (which would be on the low side) and the mother earns R4 000.00 per month while the father earns R6 000.00 per month, their respective contributions should be 40% and 60%. In effect the mother would pay R800.00 per month and the father R1 200.00 per month. I am looking after my sisters children."
},
{
"question": "Can I make an application for maintenance?",
"answer": "Yes, because the parents are legally obliged to pay maintenance for their children. You can apply to receive maintenance from both parents. I have been unemployed for the last year, but have managed to keep up with my Maintenance payments using my retrenchment payout and pension. I'm now running out of money and still have not managed to secure suitable employment."
},
{
"question": "Can my ex have me sent to jail?",
"answer": "Failure to pay is a criminal offence, so if you stop paying or start short-paying, then a warrant of arrest might be issued for you. Don’t allow the matter to deteriorate to that extent. Approach the Maintenance Court and make application for a reduction. I pay my Maintenance in cash every month as the mother of my children does not have a bank account. I have never missed a payment or ever been late with the money. But after an argument recently she threatened to have me locked up for not paying."
},
{
"question": "What can I do?",
"answer": "You have two options: Option 1: Stop paying her and make your payments to the court every month. She will then have to go down to the courts to collect the money herself. The courts will keep a record and there can be no dispute. Option 2: Get a duplicate book (available from any stationery store). Before making payment to her draw up a receipt showing the date, amount you are paying and specifying that it’s for maintenance. You must then make her sign the receipt to say she has received the money. Give her the top copy and keep the permanent copy for yourself – keep the book in a safe place! I was divorced a few years ago and recently married. My ex wife wants an increase in Maintenance and is demanding that I account for my current wife's income."
},
{
"question": "My new wife has no financial obligation to my children, what does her income have to do with my Maintenance payments?",
"answer": "While you are correct that your new wife has no obligation to maintain your children, she does have an obligation to contribute to the household you share with her. If she is paying her share of the expenses then this will have a direct and significant impact on your ability to pay maintenance. You therefore must account for her income and contribution to the household expenditure. My child contributes very little in the way of Maintenance. He only works part time and earns very little, but he chooses to do so. He inherited a great deal of money from his deceased parents. Had he not received his inheritance he would be forced to work full time and earn much more to support himself financially."
},
{
"question": "Is there anything that can be done?",
"answer": "Yes, salary alone is not a complete picture of ‘means’; maintenance is payable not only from income, but form a person’s ‘means’. The fact that he chooses to work only part time is not relevant. He can be ordered to use his capital in order to maintain his child adequately. He must disclose details of all his assets, investments and business interests to the Maintenance Court. If he refuses to do so then approach the Maintenance officer, they may require a Maintenance Investigator (also employed at the Maintenance Court) to assist in obtaining this information. My ex and I are expecting a baby soon. We are not together anymore but I want to be an active parent."
},
{
"question": "In terms of Maintenance, do I only start paying when the baby is born or do I start paying during pregnancy?",
"answer": "During the course of the pregnancy you will have to contribute to the expenses the mother will incur. Such expenses will include antenatal medical expenses, hospital costs for the delivery as well as doctors and the like. It doesn’t end there though. You must also contribute towards the ‘layette’ (clothing and equipment which the mother will need when she brings the baby home) and you may even be required to contribute towards maintenance for the mother while she is on maternity leave, to compensate for loss of earnings. As soon as the baby has been born you will need to start paying maintenance proper – i.e. a set amount per month. My ex and I are on amicable terms. We have a verbal agreement regarding the Maintenance of our children and he pays every month."
},
{
"question": "Is it still necessary to go to the Maintenance court?",
"answer": "Yes, it is still necessary. While it’s great that you and your ex get on so well, it may not always be the case. A ‘verbal’ agreement is not enforceable, which means that if you do fall out in the future and there is a dispute about the maintenance, you have no recourse. It is best to have your current agreement made an order of court as soon as possible. The process is simple; there is an application form (available on the “Free Resources” page of our site). In addition you will complete a ‘Consent’ form – also available on our site. Follow our instruction for the completion and steps to have it made in to a court order. The step-by-step guide to completing the forms will be available soon on the “Products” page. This whole process may take only one visit to the Maintenance Court, if you do everything correctly. My ex has not been honest with the Maintenance Courts. He is not disclosing all the details about his assets, investments and business interests. I also know he earns a lot more than he is claiming."
},
{
"question": "How can i prove that he is lying?",
"answer": "Maintenance courts have full time investigators who are available to assist in such a situation. Take whatever information you have to the maintenance investigator and he can look in to the matter for you. My ex is unemployed and says he has no means of paying for the Maintenance. His family can afford to assist."
},
{
"question": "Is there anything that can be done?",
"answer": "Yes, in certain circumstances grandparents can be ordered to pay maintenance. In very rare cases, siblings can also be held liable for support. What is my ex goes on to have more children with someone else."
},
{
"question": "Will he still need to pay Maintenance for our children?",
"answer": "Yes. He can’t stop paying maintenance because he has other children. He has a legal duty to support all of his children, equally (that is, no one child is of greater importance than another). Non payment of maintenance is a criminal offence!"
},
{
"question": "Who is responsible for paying Maintenance?",

My man was voorheen getroud en het 2 dogtertjie(6jr en 3jr) in hulle skikking staan daar hy mag die een dogtertjie op skoolgaande ouderdom vat vir vakansie. Sy is op die oomblik in Gr R. Volgende jaar gaan sy Gr1 toe. GrR is mos al skoolgaande want jy kan nie Gr1 toe gaan sonder GrR nie. Die ma werk elke dag en die kinders bly by die ouma in skoolvakansies. Mag hy al een kind vat. Hy sou graag altwee wil vat maar sy wil streng by die skikkikng bly. Sal jy asb vir ons raad gee. Ons baklei so hard om die dierbare dogtertjies in ons lewe te hou. Ek wil net graag uitvind,,,my man se dogter word 19 volgende maand,,,sy bly saam haar kerel in n woonstel,,,sy nie meer onder haar ma se to9esig nie,,,sy het ook die shutdown gewerk,,,maar volgens die ma moet ons onderhoud betaal tot sy 21 is,,,,sy het 2jaar terug besluit om verder te studeer,maar volgens die swangerskap het sy dit op gegee,,ek wil net weet of ons nog geregtig is om onder te betaal,,al bly sy saam die kerel…. Ek benodig dringend u raad. My man kom uit n huwelik van 20 jaar. Hy was getroud buite gemeenskap van goedere met aanwas bedeling. Hy is in 2011 van haar geskei. Die skei ooreenkoms is so opgestel dat hy sy ex vir 3 jaar n x bedrag onderhoud moes betaal sodat dit haar kon help om op die been te kom aangesien sy n huisvrou was en nie gewerk het nie. Na die verstrek van 3 jaar, gaan die onderhoudsbevel in die hof hersien word. Sy beklee tans n goeie pos en verdien n goeie betalende inkomste. Sy het verskeie ander baie goeie voordele uit die skeisaak gekry o.a., n nuwe voertuig wat klaar betaal is en oorgedra is op haar naam, lewenslange vruggebruik van die huis waarin sy woon met geen uitgawes t.o.v. Die huis in enige opsig nie, helfde van sy pensioengeld, n groot som spaargeld plus sy is steeds op sy medies en alle eise en premies word steeds deur hom betaal."
},
{
"question": "Met alles in gedagte geneem van wat sy uit die skeisaak gekry het en steeds kry, kan dit in die hof aangevoer word en sodoende geskrap word?",
"answer": "My ex betaal onderhoud en somtyds betaal nie, of hy betaal laat. Die hof het hom al ‘n paar keer aangespreek en hy is alreeds ‘n groot bedrag uitstaande. Ek het ‘n hooggeregshof ooreenkoms en daarna die normale onderhouds bevel van die magistraat. Huidiglik wil hy ‘n vermindering in onderhoud betaal as gevolg van al sy skuld en nuwe baba. My Hooggeregshof brief stipuleer dat hy die helfte van die ekstras moet betaal en die onderhoudsbevel van die magistraat sê onderhoud en skoolfonds."
},
{
"question": "Is ek ook verplig om aan hom rekords te gee van enige betalings sodat hy sy papierwerk op datum kan kry voor ons volgende hof datum?",
"answer": "Nee, daar is reeds ‘n bevel en u hoef nie weer aansoek te doen om ‘n bevel daarvoor nie. Hy is verplig om die onderhoudsbevel na te kom soos dit is. Hy is egter geregtig om aansoek te doen vir verlaging van onderhoud, maar u kan ook so ‘n aansoek teenstaan. Indien hy agterstallig word met sy onderhoud, stel ek voor dat u die Onderhoudshof nader en ‘n lasbrief vir eksekusie te verkry ten einde die agterstallige onderhoud te delg. Skoolgaande ouderdom is strenggesproke eers wanneer die kind in Graad 1 is, wat gewoonlik om en by 6 of 7 jaar oud is. Dit sal wys wees om eerder te wag totdat sy in die Laerskool is (Graad 1) alvorens u aanspraak maak op vakansiebesoeke. Ek het n 2ling dogtertjies saam my ex, hy betaal geen onderhoud nie maar wil die kinders elke 2de naweek he wat ek tot dusver toegelaat het, hy is onsettend jaloers en alhoewel ons al n jaar en 4maande uit is (2ling is amper 2) se hy my sleg en dink hy het se oor my lewe en wil alles weet. Wat staan my te doen, hy se hy kry slegs genoeg geld vir huur. Hy betaal niks vir die kinders nie en ek moet alles saam stuur as hulle wel gaan kuier. Ek is al so frusteerd, ek betaal n prokureer en voel ons kom nie tot n beslissing nie, dit kos my geld om elke keer deur te gaan vir dieselfde briewe wat gestuur word, ek meen mens gee nie om om te betaal nie solank ons iewers kom. My eks man het begin Desember laat weet dat hy nie onderhoud gaan betaal nie, en dat hy ook nie tot einde april 2015 gaan betaal nie, aangesien hy aansoek gedoen het vir debt review. Die prokueer het my gese my saak is goed want hy moet hof toe gaan as hy vermidnering wil betaal. Wat sad is dat hy volgens die debt review R13 500 het vir debitors maar sy salaris is R35 000 en hy kan nie eers sy onderhoud van R3500 betaal nie. Dis nou die maand al vier maande wat hy nie betaal nie. Nou Desember dreig hulle my indien ek hom nie n kans gee op sy voete te kom nie gaan ons hof toe, kry toe nuwe prokureer betaal en kry geen results nou het ons proks gesit onm n rondetafel gesprek om n skikking te bereik, hy offer n R1000 onderhoud n maand, en R500 by om die agterstallige gelde van R14 500 af te betaal, waarop ek gese het nee, dis nie aanvaarbaar nie, intussin kom hulle nou en se hy is so siek dat hy nie kan werk nie, en is depres en en en kom met een dokter brief wat se hy siek. Maar vandag het ek op private lyn sy werk gebel, en hulle het sy direkte lyn vir my gegee hy is by die werk, want ek het met hom gepraat, hy weet nie dis ek nie maar hy het gese dis hy toe ek vra wie praat. Nou wil ek weet, kan ek sonder die prokureer vir sy prokureer n brief stuur wat se ek gaan onderhoudshof toe en wat het ek als nodig om onderhouds hof toe te gaan, ek het n Onderhouds bevel, probleem is ek het getrek uit daai area waar ek gebly het en val nou onder n ander juristisie moet ek my ler skuit en hoe lank vat dit. Ongelukkig ja. U seun is nou meerderjarig en sal self sy eis vir onderhoud moet bring. Ek vra namens my dogter. Sy is besig met ‘n egskeidingssaak. Sy is met ‘n dokter getroud vir 21 jaar op huweliksvoorwaarde met aanwas. Sy is ‘n tuisteskepper al die tyd wat vir so 8 jaar tydelik onderwys gee met geen vaste salaris. Hul huis se markwaarde is R3m en die uitstaande skuld daarop is R2m."
},
{
"question": "Is sy geregtig op die helfte van die markwaarde?",
"answer": "U dogter sal nie uit die staanspoor daarop geregtig wees nie nee. Ons sal eers die Huweliksvoorwaardekontrak onder oë moet neem om te bepaal wat die partye se onderskeie beginwaardes was voordat so ’n opinie gevorm kan word. Onthou dat die verskil in die groei (aanwas) van die onderskeie boedels met huwelikke van hierdie aard verdeel word met ontbinding. Copyright © 2019 Jansens Egskeiding Forum."

"question": "How long can I use domperidone?",
"answer": "When domperidone was being used for babies (and now that cisapride is off the market, it is being used again), it was common for the babies to be on the medication for several months. Since the amount of domperidone that gets into the milk is very small indeed, from the baby’s point of view, there should be no issue in the mother taking it to increase milk supply for several months. Our experience with this drug is that short-term side effects are very few and almost always very mild. Worldwide experience with domperidone over at least two decades suggests that long-term side effects also are rare. Some of the mothers in our clinic, breastfeeding adopted babies, have been on the medication for 18 months without any apparent side effects. Patients using domperidone for stomach disorders may be on it for many years. I hope you won’t need domperidone for very long, but if it’s necessary and helpful, stay on it."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take for domperidone to work?",
"answer": "It depends on the situation. In a situation where the mother had a good milk supply, but it decreased for some reason (e.g. going on the birth control pill, see Slow Weight Gain After the First Few Months), domperidone often works very rapidly to increase the milk supply. Often, within a day or two, the mother is seeing a difference (and so does her baby). But this is not always so, and in many situations, it may take a week or more for the mother to start getting an effect. On occasion, we have had mothers only starting to get an increase in their milk supplies a month or more after starting to take it. Therefore, we have generally recommended that the mother take the domperidone for at least six weeks in order to be sure whether it has worked or not. It is our impression that domperidone works best after the first few weeks after the mother has given birth (usually after about four weeks). This has not been proved, but there are theoretical reasons why it may be so. For this reason, we have often waited to prescribe it until the baby is at least three weeks old, mainly because we did not want the mother to become discouraged if she did not see any rapid increase in her milk supply. But if you keep this in mind, I have no problem prescribing it before four weeks after the birth of the baby."
},
{
"question": "How do I know how long to take domperidone?",
"answer": "Usually, we ask the mother take it for two weeks and then re-evaluate the situation. There are several possibilities. The milk supply has increased substantially, to the point where there is no longer a consideration of using supplements, or the mother has been able to stop supplements with the baby continuing to gain well on breastfeeding alone. The milk supply has increased to a point that the mother feels is satisfactory. For example, she may still need to supplement, but the baby does not fuss any more at the breast and drinks contentedly. There has been little or no effect with the Protocol to Increase Breastmilk Intake and the domperidone. Often waiting or increasing the dose may help. Most mothers are taking three tablets three times a day. When you are ready to start weaning from the domperidone, drop one pill, so that now, instead of nine pills a day, you will be taking eight. Wait four or five days, a week if you wish. If you see no change in your milk supply, drop another pill. Wait another four or five days. If you see no change in your milk supply, drop another pill. Continue in this way until you are down to no pills a day. If there has been no decrease in your milk supply, or if there has been a small decrease that does not affect the breastfeeding and baby’s weight gain, that’s just what we hoped would happen, and many mothers manage this. If, however, your supply diminishes significantly, return to the previous effective dose and do not drop any pills for a couple of weeks at least. If you are keen to go off the domperidone, after a couple of weeks on the same dose, start dropping a pill a day, as in step 1 above. Some mothers who were not able to get off the domperidone with steps 1-4 above the first time can do it the second or the third time. You may find that you have to continue a certain dose to maintain your milk supply. But following steps 1-4 above will get you to the lowest effective dose. Getting the best latch possible. This alone may result in the baby getting enough milk. Using compression to continue milk intake by the baby. Do not limit the baby to one side if the baby is not getting enough. Switch to the other side once the baby is no longer getting milk, even with the compression. Switch back and forth, as long as the baby is getting good amounts of milk. See the protocol for increasing breastmilk intake by the baby. See the handout Protocol to Increase Breastmilk Intake by the Baby, and handout #25, Slow Weight Gain After the First Few Months. See also the Index of Breastfeeding Movies for videos on how to latch a baby on, how to know the baby is getting milk, how to use compression, how to use a lactation aid, as well as information sheets on breastfeeding."

"question": "Is Dental Implant Surgery Safe?",
"answer": "Absolutely. Our team has years of training and skills to offer safe, effective dental implant treatments. The key to keeping patients safe is taking time to prepare. We make sure to address all areas of concern by reviewing your current oral and overall health, discussing health and surgical history, and talking about the possible impact of current medications. If we determine implant surgery is a good fit for you, we’ll proceed using the latest techniques and technologies to carefully plan for precise dental implant placement. Finally, our team will walk you through caring for your dental implant site during recovery and schedule regular examinations to ensure your implant procedure is successful."
},
{
"question": "How Often do Dental Implants Fail?",
"answer": "As long as we do our work to evaluate your health, place the implant properly, and you follow your at-home care instructions, dental implant placement procedures have a 95% or higher success rate. This makes dental implant placement one of the safest and most successful surgical procedures. Dental implant supported restorations look, feel, and function much more like natural teeth. With proper care, even the most advanced restorations (like full dentures) can last decades. In fact, many patients keep their dental implant supported restoration for a lifetime."
},
{
"question": "What Should I expect During My Dental Implant Placement?",
"answer": "We’ll begin the procedure by numbing the area around the missing tooth. Patients who are missing teeth in the back of the mouth and those who need numerous dental implants placed may also need to receive dental sedation to ensure their comfort and safety during the procedure. Then, we make a small incision in the soft tissue and use a surgical guide to perfectly position the implant post into the jaw line. A protective cap is attached to the implant to keep the gum tissue in the right shape to accommodate the replacement tooth or teeth. For three to six months, patients will need to allow their soft tissue to heal and give the implant time to firmly fuse to the supportive bone and gum tissue. Then, the tooth replacement restoration (crown, bridge, denture) will be designed, crafted, and attached to the implant posts. Depending on the individual patient’s response to implant placement and the number of teeth being replaced, the entire process can take up to a year, but the improved stability and longevity of implant retained tooth replacements make the invested time worth it. It really depends on a number of factors, such as the material used, size of the implant, style of implant, the technology used to place the post, and even your geographic location. However, on average, a single tooth dental implant runs about $2000 in our area. Low end implants can be as cheap as $500, but they have a much higher risk of failure. Extremely complex or innovative dental implant posts can run as much as $5000 apiece. Whatever rate you pay for your first implant post, you’ll usually see a decrease in the cost for each additional implant post. We will also work with your insurance provider to maximize coverage for these procedures."
},
{
"question": "Should I Choose Dental Implants or Removable Dentures?",
"answer": "No dental treatment is right for every patient. However, dental implant supported dentures do offer a few benefits compared with removable prosthetics. Most importantly, dental implant retained dentures dramatically improve chewing ability. The best made dentures only restore about 20% of chewing function. Implant supported prosthetics can restore 70% or more of your natural chewing ability. Exceptional dentistry isn’t found everywhere. In fact, it is quite rare. When you find a dental practice that cares deeply about both you as a person and your smile goals, you need to keep them. We are that dental practice. We take pride in our unique approach, and we know you’ll be amazed from check-in to check-out. Our comfortable, modern facility is outfitted with the latest technologies — and our two talented dentists are trained in dentistry’s latest, most advanced, and proven techniques and treatments. If you have any questions — no matter how big or small — you can always call us. If you’d prefer, you can complete this short form below and a member of our team will get back with you promptly."

{
"question": "Is this true?",
"answer": "A: Pruning heavily at planting time is no longer recommended. There are two exceptions: bare-root plants and plants you dig yourself to move to another area. Removing crossing and damaged branches will allow more energy into making roots and not leaves, which will reduce the water requirements for transpiration during the first season. Be sure to monitor watering needs if soil becomes dry. Q: I have two different crabapples in my yard. One is beautiful and remains healthy throughout the summer, while the second tree develops spots on the leaves which eventually fall off."
},
{
"question": "Is there something wrong?",
"answer": "A: The leaf disease called apple scab is caused by a fungus. Cool, moist growing seasons favor this disease. Crabapple varieties differ in their resistance to this disease. Fungal spores infect the leaves in early spring, just as the buds are opening. As the leaves expand, they become spotted and ‘scabby’. Severe infections can cause the leaves to drop prematurely (and may also infect fruit and twigs). A couple of years of defoliation will not hurt an otherwise healthy tree but repetitive attacks year after years can weaken the tree and leave it vulnerable to insects and other diseases and eventual death. Management of the disease includes cleaning up infected leaves that have fallen to the ground. The fungus can over winter in these leaves which infect new leaves in spring. Fungicide sprays are available, but must be applied in spring as new leaves emerge, and repeated at labeled intervals. There are a number of excellent varieties of crabapples resistant to apple scab. Q: We have a small tree, about eight feet high that was planted in the wrong place three years ago. We would like to move it to a better location."
},
{
"question": "How do I dig it up so that it survives the move?",
"answer": "A: Before moving any tree it is important to consider that any tree taller than 8 feet, or with a trunk larger than 2 inches in diameter, is difficult to move without special equipment. If a plant is movable, the best time to move it to a new location is in early spring, while the plant is dormant. Moving a plant while it is actively growing will diminish its chance of survival. This is particularly true of conifers, which have only one growth spurt a year. Moving a tree to a new location will require trenching, digging, and severing its roots. Several days before digging, water the plant to ensure moist soil. Moist soil will hold together in a ball and adhere to roots better than dry soil. Q: I planted a lilac bush about five years ago and so far it has only had a few flowers."
},
{
"question": "How can I make it bloom?",
"answer": "A: This is a very common question with many plants. There may be numerous reasons why your plant will not flower. First, age may be a factor. Many woody plants go through a vegetative phase of growth before it produces flowers. This juvenile stage can last anywhere from 2-10 years, depending upon the species. Crabapple, wisteria, and lilac are some of the more common plants that can go through this phase. Temperature can have an effect on flowering plants. Sometimes a plant may survive the winter only to have its flower buds damaged by a late-spring frost. Inadequate snow cover may not provide the insulation some plants need causing damage to flower buds. Pruning at the wrong time of year can eliminate spring flowering. Most spring-flowering shrubs form their flower buds in late-summer and early fall. Pruning anytime during this period will remove the flower buds. The best time to prune spring-flowering shrubs is just after they finish blooming. Also, as shrubs age, older stems should be removed to allow younger stems to grow, which results in a more vigorous and better flowering shrub. Finally, consider the growing conditions for your particular plant. Plants in need of full sun will flower poorly if grown in the shade. Fertilization, especially with excess nitrogen, will promote vegetative growth instead of flowers. Q: I have tried to grow Eastern redbuds in my yard. Each one died after a relatively cold winter, and I desperately want to grow one."
},
{
"question": "Any idea what I am doing wrong?",
"answer": "A: You might not be doing anything wrong. Eastern redbud, Cercis canadensis, is a 20 to 25 feet high native tree that occurs over an extended range of the Eastern United States. Plants that are grown from a southern genetic source are not as cold hardy as a plant that has been grown in northern areas. It is recommended to purchase redbud trees originating from a northern source. Eastern redbud grows best in a moist, well-drained soil in part-shade or full sun with adequate moisture. Plants do not tolerate standing water. They will benefit greatly with a 3-4 inch layer of organic woodchip mulch."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can you suggest a few shrubs that will work in a dry, shady area?",
"answer": "A: Plants that will grow in dry shade include red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia), common sweetshrub (Calycanthus florida), gray dogwood (Cornus racemosa), American hazelnut (Corylus americana), St. Johnswort (Hypericum), Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica), spicebush (Lindera benzoin), bayberry (Myrica pensylvanica), nine bark (Physocarpus opulifolius), jetbead (Rhodotypos scandens), wayfaringtree viburnum (Viburnum lantana), and blackhaw viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium). All plants should be monitored for watering needs in dry periods and will benefit with a layer of organic mulch."
},
{
"question": "Q: Is there a vine that will attach to my brick wall without support?",
"answer": "A: Yes, there are several clinging vines that will attach themselves directly to a surface by means of holdfasts (adhesive discs) or small aerial roots. They work best on a rough surface such as stone, wood, masonry walls and tree trunks. Trumpet vine (Campsis radicans), climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris), bigleaf wintercreeper (Euonymus fortunei), English ivy (Hedera helix), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) will all attach to a brick wall."
},
{
"question": "Can you recommend some plants?",
"answer": "A: Select a sunny spot, protected from wind. The more sunlight, the longer butterflies will stay to find food, shelter, and mate. Some shade is important for resting in the heat of the day. Choose a mixture of perennials and shrubs to provide a continuous source of nectar for your butterflies. Suggested shrubs include: butterfly bush, blue spirea, cotoneaster, deutzia, hazelnut, New Jersey tea, St. Johnswort, sumac, and weigela. Suggested perennials include: bee balm, butterfly weed, catmint, chives, coneflower, daisy, daylily, gayfeather, Joe Pye weed, mint, phlox, thistle, verbena, and yarrow."
},
{
"question": "Q: My maple roots are growing in my lawn making it difficult to mow, can I cut them or cover them soil?",
"answer": "A: Major tree roots often grow within a few inches of the soil surface. Some species, such as maples, grow roots particularly close to the surface. Removing these roots may disrupt the moisture supply to the tree, causing serious stress. Covering them with soil could cut off the oxygen supply to the fine roots in the soil below. Both situations could lead to decline. The best solution is usually to mulch the area under the tree with compost and/or wood chips. These materials are porous enough to allow sufficient oxygen supply to the soil and may actually encourage fine root growth. Q: We have been having our large ash tree treated for emerald ash borer for 5 years."
},
{
"question": "Do we need to continue treating?",
"answer": "A: Yes if you want to protect your tree. Emerald ash borer populations are still high in some areas and those where populations have declined the beetles are still able to fly to non-infected trees. Trees exhibiting more than 40 percent decline are not likely to recover. Trunk injections with Emamectin benzoate (Tree`Age) provides at least two years worth of EAB control to large trees under high population pressure."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is the best evergreen to use as an indoor Christmas tree?",
"answer": "A: As you search for that perfect holiday tree, careful selection for quality and freshness can keep the holidays safe and attractive. Needles should be firmly attached and pliable. Pines retain their needles the longest, with Scots and red holding their needles longer than white pine. Spruce trees drop their needles the fastest. Q: Rabbits are chewing the stems of my shrubs."
},
{
"question": "Is there a way to discourage them and protect my plants?",
"answer": "A: Rabbits can harm plants by eating small twigs and buds or clipping stems at a clean, 45 degree slant or knife-like cut. Rabbits generally feed no more than two feet above the ground or at snow level. The best way to discourage and protect plants against rabbits is to enclose the plant in a cylinder of fencing. Chemical repellents will also discourage browsing but will need to be reapplied after a heavy rainfall. Q: We had a row of junipers planted in late October but in our opinion they were planted too high and then mounded with mulch up on the trunk."
},
{
"question": "The ground is now frozen, is there something we should do to protect them?",
"answer": "A: If your juniper appears to be planted much too high, that could cause problems in the future. Erosion of the mound of soil could expose roots to the cold of winter and to drying air. Since it is frozen leave it alone, the soil and mulch provide some insulation for winter, then next spring when the ground has thawed, consider having the plants re-planted to the correct depth."
},
{
"question": "Q: If a white oak has what appears to be some “rot” under the bark on the lower portion of the tree, near the base, should it be opened up and cleaned out or is it best to leave it alone?",
"answer": "There are no visible holes in the trunk, but when tapped the trunk seems “hollow”. I have seen different opinions on the internet from what seem to be reliable sources. Some say open it up and clean it out then let it dry, others say to leave it alone."
},
{
"question": "What do you think?",
"answer": "A: If there actually is rot in the trunk it will continue to rot and get worse over time. Should the tree be hollow it could become a hazard and crack or break in the right circumstances. It is not our recommendation to clean out cavities and wounds. Every situation is different. But when a wound has occurred the tree naturally develops a layer of cells that act as a barrier to ‘compartmentalize’ the wound from the rest of the tree. You do not want to compromise this area. Have an arborist look at the tree and evaluate it for the best diagnosis. Q: We planted an ornamental plum tree 15 years ago. This past spring we noticed some strange, very dark, hard growths on a few of the branches. By the end of the summer they were everywhere on the tree and starting to affect a second tree nearby."
},
{
"question": "What is this and how can we control it?",
"answer": "A: The black growths on your tree are due to a fungus called black knot. This is a serious disease that affects plums and cherries (Prunus species). The conspicuous black gall does not appear until the second year of infection. As the knot grows it eventually cuts off the flow of water and nutrients to the branch, causing stunting, wilting, and dieback. Gradually the entire tree may weaken and die if the severity of the disease increases. Unfortunately it is very difficult to control. Pruning is the most important control measure. Research has shown pruning can reduce infection by 80%. Prune off all knots in late winter or early spring before growth starts. Bury, burn, or compost all discarded plant material. Pruning cuts should be made at least four to eight inches below any swellings or knots because the fungus grows beyond the edge of the knot. Pruning tools should be sterilized between cuts using 1 part bleach to 4 parts water. Q: I have a group of Viburnum shrubs in the front of my home that are getting too large, and no matter how low I cut the branches, new shoots arrive in the spring and grow as tall as they once were. If I cut the new shoots to half height then they double."
},
{
"question": "How should I manage this type of shrub?",
"answer": "A: Pruning is a process that not only removes wood, it encourages the growth of new wood. Try taking some of the stems down all the way to the ground. Then new growth will come from the base of the plant and will take a little longer to get tall. This will also open the plant to more light which will courage development of more flowers on the remaining stems. If you still cut stems back half way, be sure to cut directly above a bud. Stubs occur when our pruning cuts are not close enough to the next bud."
},
{
"question": "Q: How often should older trees be pruned and when is the best time?",
"answer": "A: Winter can be a great time to prune while trees are dormant, but ultimately pruning depends on the age of the tree and goals for pruning. When trees are young, we are trying to develop a good form and strong structure and will likely be pruning yearly. After a tree has been in the landscape for a few years, hopefully the structure and form are set, and we turn to removal of problem branches and repair of damage so pruning may not be needed every year. With older, mature trees it would be best to prune as needed. Basically that would involve looking at all the trees each year and only pruning the ones that have a need (storm damage, broken limbs, rot, disease, and crossing limbs). Talk to your arborist and see if he will give you an estimate on that type of plan. The Illinois Arborist Association has a website that lists companies with certified arborists (www.illinoisarborist.org). Q: I’m noticing needle and leaf browning much more than usual on my evergreen holly, yews and boxwoods this winter."
},
{
"question": "Should I prune it off now before the new growth begins in the spring?",
"answer": "A: When there is extremely cold temperature in winter we expect to see some tip die back (winter burn) and browning on evergreens, including broadleaf evergreens like holly and rhododendrons. Winter burn occurs when evergreens naturally transpire but cannot replenish lost moisture because the ground is frozen. Smaller plants fair better if there has been adequate snow cover to insulate them. Be patient and wait to see how well the new growth emerges before doing any severe pruning. The new buds for this years’ growth on evergreens are in the tips of the branches, on holly they are hidden where there is a leaf attached. Plants surprisingly can withstand extreme cold and will push out new growth once winter has lessened it grip. Most evergreens start to show growth sometime in early to mid-May. Q: Is there a point when an emerald ash borer-infested ash tree should be cut down. I know treatment is futile after 40% crown die back, but I was wondering how long an infested tree can remain standing before it poses a danger. A: Great question. Once a tree is past the stage of successful treatment, the question \"Why keep it?\" must be asked. If the tree is past treatment, it will be in decline and most likely die in a year or two. We have learned that ash trees contain very less water content, than say an oak, so when an ash tree is dead it becomes brittle with the possibility of becoming a hazard tree. The infested tree also contains a population of developing larvae. Removing that tree during the dormant season gives the village the opportunity to reduce the population and destroy the tree at a time when those insects cannot spread to other trees. Reducing the population may not have a big impact in heavily infested areas, but could be useful in areas where the insect is less prevalent. Q: We have a 5 year old red twig dogwood hedge (Cornus sericea ‘Cardinal’) that is dying one or two stems each year. The older stems are turning dark brown, almost black then dying off completely."
},
{
"question": "Would it be safe to replant with the same cultivar or are they too susceptible?",
"answer": "A: What you are describing sounds like a stem canker. There are no sprays to control cankers. Remove the infected stem to the ground in dry weather. Be sure to sterilize tools between cuts so the disease is not spread to a healthy stem. Red twig dogwoods benefit from regular pruning. Pruning older stems promotes new growth, which has the brighter red color. Q: The bark on our new maple has a long crack developing down the trunk."
},
{
"question": "Should we wrap the trunk to protect it from further injury?",
"answer": "A: This winter injury is known as frost cracking. The bark of young, thin-bark trees can split open as a result when temperatures drop quickly. It occurs most commonly on the south or west side of the tree where the sun warms the bark causing expansion, then temperatures drop and the bark contracts more rapidly than the live wood below. A vertical split is the result. It becomes more obvious in the spring when the tree trunk starts to put on girth. There is no treatment for bark splitting. The wound typically heals itself but can be vulnerable to disease as it heals. Keep the tree healthy by watering in dry periods. Wrapping is not recommended."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why are my white pine's needles turning brown and dropping off?",
"answer": "A: This seasonal needle loss, also called fall needle drop, is a natural occurrence triggered by weather and seasonal changes. Evergreens do not hold their needles forever; as they age, they will turn yellow, then brown, and then drop off. The change can be gradual or, with some species, quite rapid. It does not always occur every year. As long as needle drop is restricted to older growth and is not excessive, it is a normal and natural process."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can I prune my oaks and maples this fall?",
"answer": "A: You may want to wait until a bit later in the season to prune your trees. In early fall, the wounds caused by pruning close more slowly than at other times of year. For most trees, the best times for major pruning are in late fall (when plants are dormant) and again in winter to early spring because wounds heal faster. Some plants, such as maple, elm, birch, and walnut are considered “bleeders” and should not be pruned in early spring when sap begins to rise, hold off on these trees until the leaves have emerged."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do I prune my hydrangea?",
"answer": "A: It depends upon which type of hydrangea you have. Hydrangeas do not need to be pruned every year. Hydrangeas that flower on the old wood, such as oak-leaved hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) and bigleaf hydrangea (H. macrophylla, such as Endless Summer® and Twist n Shout®), should be pruned right after flowering or during the summer. Annabelle (Hydrangea arborescens) and panicled hydrangeas (H. paniculata, such as Limelight) flower on new wood produced the same year, so they can be pruned in the late winter or early spring before they bloom. Avoid summer pruning or you will remove the new flower buds. Use the heading back technique to prune at the appropriate time of the year."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can I prune back my clematis now that the season is over?",
"answer": "Group 1 (Type A) is typically a species clematis (C. alpina and C. macropetala and their cultivars) that flower in early spring. These vines produce their flower buds on the previous year’s stems. They can be pruned to keep them within their growing space, or to remove dead and unsightly foliage. They usually do not require pruning, but if needed, prune right after flowering is finished. Group 2 (Type B) is the large flowered hybrids. This type normally blooms in the spring and possibly again in the fall. All of the clematis in Group 2 bloom on 'old wood' (actually on short shoots from old wood) and should not be pruned except for removing deadwood in early spring after the leaf buds have begun to open slightly. Group 3 (Type C) are the popular summer-blooming varieties, such as the C. viticellas, C. jackmanii types; the herbaceous species, such as C. integrifolia and C. recta, and the late bloomers such as sweet autumn clematis (C. terniflora). They all produce flowers on new wood in the current year and should be pruned back in late winter to early spring to about 12 to 14 inches above the ground. Leave at least two pairs of buds (4) on each stem of the plant to insure new growth. Q: Many of my trees and shrubs suffered from last year’s brutal winter."
},
{
"question": "Is there a way to protect them this year?",
"answer": "A: All plants, especially conifers and broadleaf evergreens (e.g., boxwood and rhododendrons), are susceptible to winter desiccation from drying winds. Be sure plants have adequate soil moisture before the ground freezes. Shading plants from winter sun and airborne salt spray can also be helpful. Fasten burlap or plastic to stakes on the exposed side of plants. To prevent broken branches from heavy snow load, gently brush fresh snow from the branches before it freezes. Allow ice-encrusted branches to melt off naturally."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can I divide / move ornamental grass in the fall?",
"answer": "A: Cool-season grasses such as feather reed grass (Calamagrostis) can be divided from late winter to early spring or from late summer to early fall. In the upper Midwest, spring division is the most reliable. Warm-season grasses such as fountain grass (Pennisetum) and silver grass (Miscanthus) should be divided when they are in active growth; late spring / early summer is the ideal time. Fall division of warm-season grasses is generally not recommended."
},
{
"question": "Q: What are the black circular spots covering my maple leaves?",
"answer": "A: Those spots are a symptom of tar spot, a fungal leaf disease. It is primarily a cosmetic disease that will not kill the tree. Initial infection occurs in the spring and appears as small, yellowish spots. As the season progresses, the spots enlarge to roughly ¾ inch in diameter and the center becomes raised and turns black, resembling a glob of tar on the leaf surface. To reduce or eliminate tar spot, simply remove fallen leaves from the ground and discard them."
},
{
"question": "Q: Is there a way to protect my plants from animal damage this winter?",
"answer": "A: One of the best preventative measures to protect plants against animals is to construct a cylinder of hardware cloth, chicken wire, or fencing around plants to protect against the rabbits, mice, and deer that damage the bark and chew on twigs. Set up the fencing in the fall so stakes or support can go into the ground easily before the soil freezes. More persistent problems may require more vigorous management."
},
{
"question": "Q: How late is too late to plant bulbs?",
"answer": "A: Spring flowering bulbs are planted in the fall, ideally in September and October, to allow them to establish roots before the top growth begins in the spring. Planting too late may not give the bulb enough time to develop adequate roots. If it is November and the ground is not yet frozen, go ahead and plant your bulbs. Water them well to settle the soil and then cover the soil with a thin layer of mulch or ground-up leaves to insulate the soil. If you cannot dig holes, consider planting them in containers to force indoors later. The planted containers will require a 10- to 13-week cold period (an unheated garage works well) to trigger bulbs to grow roots and initiate flowers."
},
{
"question": "Q: Is it difficult to grow an oak from an acorn?",
"answer": "A: It depends on what type of oak you are trying to grow. Acorns from oaks in the white oak group (white, bur, swamp white) ripen in one year and will germinate as soon as it is planted in the fall. The oaks in the red oak group (red, pin, Hill’s) require two years to reach maturity before they will germinate."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can I use oak leaves as mulch around my trees and shrubs or are they too acidic?",
"answer": "A: The idea that oak leaves are too acidic to use as mulch is an old myth that you can happily ignore. Although oak leaves do contain tannins, the tannins are only slightly acidic and will not affect the growth of mulched plants. In fact, leaves of all kinds can be a gardener’s best friend. In nature, fallen leaves remain on the ground where they break down with the help of soil organisms, returning organic matter back to the soil. These nutrients act as a natural fertilizer for trees and shrubs. Decomposing leaves used as mulch also help to insulate the soil from extreme temperature fluctuations, increase the soil’s capacity to hold moisture, and eventually provide a more favorable root environment. It helps to mow or shred leaves before using them around your trees / shrubs or adding them to the compost bin. This makes the leaves decompose faster and prevents the leaves from forming a tight mat that prevents water from interacting with the plants’ root systems. For best results, do not apply any more than 3 to 4 inches of leaf mulch. Q: I notice fuzzy little round growths on my oak leaves every year. The tree looks healthy otherwise."
},
{
"question": "Should I treat this problem?",
"answer": "A: No treatment is necessary. What you see are plant galls, which are swollen, abnormal growths that appear on the leaves, twigs, and flowers of many plants. They will not seriously affect the health of your oak. Most galls are caused by chemicals produced by small insects, such as mites or aphids, during egg-laying or feeding activities on the leaf buds. These chemicals cause plant cells to swell, creating the galls. The insect may live inside the gall for a brief period before completing its life cycle."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do I get rid of Japanese beetles?",
"answer": "A: A mild infestation of Japanese beetles can be controlled by picking them off the roses and dropping into a container of soapy water. A strong spray of water into trees can get them to move elsewhere. Avoid using pheromone traps; Japanese beetles are flying insects and the traps will bring in more beetles than they catch. Chemical sprays for Japanese beetle can be harmful to beneficial insects and not recommended. Soil insecticides provide short-term control if applied mid-August through September. Q: My landscaper recently mulched my garden beds but it’s about 6 inches deep in many areas."
},
{
"question": "Isn’t this too much?",
"answer": "A: Ideally mulch should only be a 1-3 inches deep on the soil surface above the root system. Applying more than 4 inches may injure plants by keeping the soil too wet and limiting oxygen to the plant roots. Keep mulch away from base of plants, and do not let it rest against the bark. Around individual plants mulch should form a donut shape--not a volcano. Q: The leaves of my red maple appear to be smaller and pale green in color."
},
{
"question": "Is there something I can do to correct this problem?",
"answer": "A: The yellowing of leaf tissue due to the lack of chlorophyll, the green pigment in leaves, is known as chlorosis. Symptoms of chlorosis can vary depending upon the cause, but generally leaf tissue will turn a yellow-green while the veins remain green. Symptoms can appear over the entire tree, but may be more severe on one portion of the tree than another. A major cause of chlorosis in the maples is a deficiency of manganese. Although not actually lacking in the soil, these nutrients become unavailable to plants where the soil is heavy and alkaline (pH above 7.0). Other possible causes of chlorosis include poor drainage, damaged roots, grade changes, or compacted soil. Management for chlorosis symptoms varies with the cause, but the most lasting results are obtained by improving the tree’s rooting environment. Apply a one-to-two inch layer of organic compost (e.g., leaf mold) to the soil surface, followed by three to four inches of organic mulch (e.g., wood chips). Be sure to water during drought periods to minimize stress. While there are several effective treatments available, they may have to be used annually. Soil fertilization treatments produce the best results, but are usually the slowest to respond. Soil treatment is best done in early spring through mid-May. For mildly chlorotic trees, fertilize with a nitrogen or nitrogen- and sulfur-based fertilizer. Q: Our neighbor recently had their American elm removed after being diagnosed with Dutch elm disease."
},
{
"question": "We recently planted one of the resistant elms, should we be concerned about our tree?",
"answer": "A: Dutch elm disease (DED) is one of the most serious diseases to affect American elm (Ulmus Americana) and has killed thousands of elms across the United States. Prevention and early detection continue to be the keys to protecting elm trees from DED. Many of the new cultivars available in the nursery market are resistant but not immune. The disease is caused by the fungus Ophiostoma ulmi. It can be transmitted by two species of the elm bark beetle carrying the fungus from an infected to healthy tree, or transmitted through root grafts between trees growing within close proximity to one another. Because elms are most susceptible during the spring and early summer, when bark beetles are present, avoid pruning during this period to reduce the risk of contacting DED. Maintain good tree maintenance practices such as thoroughly watering during extended periods of drought, providing a three-to-four-inch layer of compost and mulch around the base of trees, fertilizing, and periodic pruning to ensure your tree remains healthy and vigorous."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is the proper way to water my trees and shrubs?",
"answer": "A: Generally speaking, plants get most of their water and nutrients from the top 12 inches of soil. The key is to keep roots moist, but don’t overdo it. Let the top few inches of soil dry out between watering so that the roots and soil organisms can breathe. Newly planted trees and shrubs need thorough watering after initial planting and must be watered regularly until the roots have properly developed (2 to 3 years). Concentrate on watering the root ball. Place a garden hose at the base of the plant and let it run slowly, soaking the soil to a depth of 2-3 inches. Watering too much or too little can result in injury. Established trees and shrubs will require supplemental watering if we have not received adequate rainfall. Trees and shrubs should receive at least 1-2 inches of water every 7 to 10 days throughout the growing season, more during an extremely dry period. Water plants slowly, deeply, and thoroughly under the canopy zone (from the trunk to the ends of the branches) rather than daily. Q: The stems of my arrowwood viburnum are dying one branch at a time. I’ve also noticed cracks near the base of the plant."
},
{
"question": "What’s going on?",
"answer": "A: These sound like the symptoms of viburnum crown borer. Viburnum crown borer adults are clearwing moths that emerge from May to August, and closely resemble wasps. They typically lay eggs in cracks on the stem about 12 inches above the ground. Small holes and the presence of a sawdust-like material are signs of a borer. When the eggs hatch, young larvae tunnel downward into the base of the plant, eventually killing the stem. Stressed plants are more susceptible to borer attack, so try to keep plants healthy by applying mulch around the base and watering well during dry periods. Chemical sprays are available and should be applied in June when wasps are active. Q: There are a number of pinkish-white bumps all over the stems of my magnolia tree. They seem to be getting larger."
},
{
"question": "What are they and how do I treat them?",
"answer": "A: Your magnolia tree has magnolia scale. Scale insects are sucking insects that produce a sap which often causes leaves to turn black from sooty mold. Heavy infestations can cause twig dieback and kill branches. The adult scale continues to grow throughout the summer. They are covered with a white, mealy wax. The adult mother scale will give birth to young larvae, called “crawlers” in late August into mid-September. The best time to kill the magnolia scale is when the young crawlers are present. There are a number of products available, including seasonal horticulture oils, insecticidal soaps, and chemical insecticides. Q: My arrowwood viburnum leaves are full of small holes."
},
{
"question": "What is chewing on them?",
"answer": "A: This may be the damaged caused by viburnum leaf beetles. The larval stage of the beetle feed on new leaves for two-to-three weeks, causing numerous holes in the leaves. When mature, the larvae crawl to the ground, usually in mid-June, and pupate in the soil. Adults emerge from the soil (early July) and also chew on the leaves. Their feeding damage forms irregular round holes in the leaves. The beetles are about ¼ inch long and generally brown in color. The adult beetles will be mating and laying eggs from summer into fall. There is one generation of the beetle each year. Heavy and repeated defoliation by the viburnum leaf beetle can lead to death of the shrubs. Insecticides can be used on the larvae in May/June when they are feeding and on the adults in summer when they are feeding."

"question": "What does Inteplast Group manufacture?",
"answer": "We manufacture thousands of plastics-based products, including items that are recyclable, and/or made from post-consumer resin. However, the products manufactured at our company have such a broad range of markets that we invite you to review those categories here, where you can find the area relevant to your needs, which will showcase the products affiliated within that niche. If you would prefer to search according to products, then please go to this page, where you’ll have all of our product categories at your fingertips."
},
{
"question": "What kinds of manufacturing are used to make your products?",
"answer": "We make our products via blown film, injection molding, profiling, cast films, and compounding."
},
{
"question": "Are you solely a United States manufacturer or are there sites and affiliates elsewhere?",
"answer": "We are a manufacturer with the majority of our plants and offices located in the United States and Canada. We consider ourselves a North American manufacturer as most of our locations are within this continent. Although the majority of our sites are in the United States, our Canadian facilities are equally significant in contributing to our leading position in plastics manufacturing. We also have a Thailand facility, which is a sister plant to our Minigrip location in Seguin, Texas, as well as locations in Vietnam and Taiwan. We produce bags, containers, and other items that are recyclable. Overall, with the exception of a few highly specialized items, the products made at Inteplast are fully recyclable. We begin with ensuring that lean manufacturing is at the heart of our production practices. This means that we not only are mindful of reintroducing industrial scrap (rather than discarding it) into our extrusion process, we also keep our production floors clear of resin pellets as to not allow them to haphazardly end up in local and regional bodies of water. Our strategy for reducing waste doesn’t end with plastics, however, it extends into our practices with efficient use of utilities, space, and waste management, which includes reusing and recycling various resources."

{
"question": "Q: How does v-TACTM work?",
"answer": "A: v-TACTM is a method implemented in software. The principle of the method is as follows. Peripheral venous blood differs from arterial blood by its content of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Arterial blood values can therefore be calculated by removing CO2 and adding O2 in a constant ratio (RQ) that reflects the metabolism of tissue. The method simulates the addition of oxygen to the peripheral venous blood until simulated oxygen saturation matches that measured non-invasively from a pulse oximeter. The amount of oxygen added in this simulation is then used to calculate the amount of CO2 removed, and consequently the complete arterial oxygen and acid-base status can be determined."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does v-TACTM replace existing blood gas instruments?",
"answer": "A: No, v-TACTM does not replace existing blood gas instruments. In fact, v-TACTM software works with existing blood gas instruments on the market."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does v-TACTM work with all existing blood gas instruments?",
"answer": "A: v-TACTM software works with existing blood gas analysers on the market, as long as the instrument is capable of transmitting the blood gas values over a known and supported protocol. Typically v-TACTM receives data via a data manager already present in the hospital infra structure."
},
{
"question": "Q: Is v-TACTM still useful and validated if there is a condition of excess acid, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis or salicylate poisoning?",
"answer": "An excess of acid will present itself as a negative base excess in the blood. Our mathematical models account for changes in base excess. The v-TACTM method assumes that the value of base excess is the same in the arterial and venous blood samples. Systemic, whole-body changes in acid-base balance resulting in acid production will result in negative base excess in blood measured at any site. Systemic changes are therefore not a problem for the method. There may, however, be local differences of BE in arterial and venous blood in some conditions. For example, mixed venous or central venous blood drains from many organs. These organs may produce quite varying quantities of acid and, in this case, arterial and mixed or central venous blood will not have the same BE. For peripheral venous samples it is unlikely that there are large differences between arterial and venous BE values due to local acid production. This is particularly true if the peripheral venous site is warm and well perfused, which is easily identifiable by clinical inspection or by the presence of a pulse oximetry signal. In a warm, well-perfused extremity, the likelihood of local tissue anaerobic metabolism is small, and BE values should be the same in both arterial and venous blood at this site. Use of the v-TACTM method is therefore not limited to patient acid-base status when using peripheral venous blood."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does v-TACTM work for patients in a state of \"warm shock\"?",
"answer": "In patients with warm shock it is common for blood to pass quickly by some tissue without substantial metabolism taking place. If this is the case, then the peripheral venous blood sample will be very close to the arterial, both in terms of O2 and CO2. As v-TACTM works on mathematically adding O2 and removing CO2, and this occurs in ratio, then the method will still work in patients experiencing shock. The advantage of the method in this case is that one does not need to consider whether the patient is in shock or not (in terms of interpreting the venous blood gasses), as the nature of the method automatically compensates for this. Many data sets have been seen where this is true, even in patients without shock."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does v-TACTM work for patients in a state of \"cold shock\"?",
"answer": "A: In patients in a state of cold shock, the peripheral circulation shuts down, while the body tries to maintain circulation in the central system. In such cases, the peripheral limb will not be well perfused and peripheral arterial blood will not be representable for central arterial blood, meaning SpO2 cannot be measured either using a pulse oximeter. In patients with cold shock, v-TACTM is not recommended."
},
{
"question": "Q: Is v-TACTM sensitive to variation in the measured SpO2?",
"answer": "A: v-TACTM is generally very robust to variation in the SpO2 measurement. If SpO2 is overestimated compared to the real value (saO2), the calculated pH will be +0.0015 per +1%, while the pCO2 will be -0.3 [mmHg] (-0.04 [kPa]) per +1%. The opposite if SpO2 is -1%. For pO2, the impact on the v-TACTM calculated arterial values will depend on the actual level of SpO2. At SpO2 levels ≤ 96% v-TACTM is robust to variation in SpO2. Request data plots for more information."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does v-TACTM work if the patient is a smoker?",
"answer": "A: Yes, the v-TACTM method works also if the patient is a smoker. However, heavy smoking may cause fCOHb to elevate up to approximately 0.10 (severe CO poisoning up to 0.20 or more), and this may affect the SpO2 reading. Clinical studies report possible false-high SpO2 readings due to smoking of (mean) +3% at fCOHb levels > 0.02. A 3% false-high SpO2 reading will affect the pH with approximately +0.004 and the pCO2 with approximately -0.75 [mmHg] (-0.10 [kPa]). The impact on pO2 vary depending on the actual SpO2 level. Request data plots for more information."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does v-TACTM work also for patients with high or low temperatures?",
"answer": "A: v-TACTM converts the venous blood gas results to arterial blood gas results based on the same temperature for which the venous blood gas results were measured. Normal practice is to measure blood gas at 37 degrees Celsius, meaning that if the patient has a low or high temperature, the blood gas analyser will warm up or cool the blood to 37 degrees Celsius before analysis. In some cases, the patient temperature may be entered manually, in which case the blood gas instrument calculates at this temperature. v-TACTM has been validated with 37 degrees Celsius."
},
{
"question": "Q: Is v-TACTM sensitive to air bubbles in the blood sample?",
"answer": "A: Air bubbles may cause in-accuracy in the venous blood gas analysis for the same reasons that apply for arterial blood gas. Therefore, the syringe should be emptied of air bubbles as quickly as possible."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does v-TACTM work on children?",
"answer": "A: v-TACTM has been validated on adults age 18 and above. OBI Medical is working on validating the method on children. Contact OBI Medical for more information."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is the advantage of v-TACTM compared to capillary blood gas?",
"answer": "A: Capillary blood sampling is available for obtaining arterialized venous blood. This method, however, involves ‘mechanical’ rather than ‘mathematical’ arterialization, performed by administering local vasodilation cream or warming the sampling site, which, in contrast to the v-TACTM method, makes clinical application cumbersome and time-consuming. In addition, venous blood is routinely taken for other purposes, whereas capillary sampling is not routine. Application of the v-TACTM method may therefore not require extra punctures, risk of blood spill etc."

"question": "on Jan 23, 2004 at 03:08 UTC ( #323419=sitefaqlet: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??",
"answer": "You can configure the way your new posts look via Signature Settings, which lets you define a Node Template and a Signature. These two are combined when you start a new post (whether root or reply) so that you don't have to type so much. The node template is intended for content which would normally be part of a standard posting. Some monks use it to pre-load tags for doing common things like quoting the parent node, code tags, or character entities which they frequently forget. You should not use it for including quotes, or your name, or anything other than node content or markup. This is the approved way to put a signature at the bottom of your posts. Not only does this feature make it easier to include signatures, but it lets gives other users a way to apply custom rendering to signatures (including hiding them entirely), on both a site-wide and an individual basis, via custom CSS. Any text you place in your signature will automatically be wrapped in special <div> tags so that users can selectively style your signature. It's true you can edit this markup after the node has been created, but please don't; it is a violation of site policy to tamper with that automatically added markup. On the other hand, feel free to modify the content of your signature at any time, as you see fit."
},
{
"question": "What is (in)appropriate to include in a signature?",
"answer": "Signature blocks should be small and unobtrusive. Anything larger than a line or two is probably inappropriate and would be better suited to your home node. If you have a huge signature but your post contents are small, you are wasting screen space and annoying people. Also, keep in mind that many monks surf with custom CSS and non-standard color schemes. If you use explicit colors in your signature, it may look groovy-cool with your settings but be an obnoxious mess with theirs."
},
{
"question": "How do I hide someone else's annoying signature?",
"answer": "Occassionally, a user may have a particularly annoying signature which you would rather not see, or you may wish to disable the displaying of signature entirely, or otherwise control the way user signatures are displayed. To support this, the signatures are automatically wrapped with two DIV tags with special class names: <div class=\"pmsig\"> and <div class=\"pmsig-USERID\">, where the USERID is the author's numeric ID. By configuring the CSS which the Monastery serves with every page, you can cause these DIVs to not be displayed, or to be specially rendered (e.g. with toned-down colors or smaller fonts)."
},
{
"question": "How do I deal with these DIV tags that keep appearing?",
"answer": "PerlMonks automatically adds these tags around your signature if they are not both already present in your signature text. This is biting you if you keep seeing unexpected DIV tags above and below your signature. To make this stop happening, delete all <div class=\"pmsig\"> and <div class=\"pmsig-USERID\"> tags from your signature block. Then PerlMonks will add the appropriate ones correctly. Also, if you do have these tags in your signature explicitly, make sure that they contain no unnecessary whitespace, as this will interfere with autodetection. Remember that users use these DIV tags to hide signatures, so be careful not to write your post's content inside these elements. Otherwise users with signature hiding in their custom CSS won't see your post! -- [id://USERID] is a Perl God!"

"question": "I’m ordering a sample pack, am I able to switch flavors out that I don’t want?",
"answer": "No, we do not make substitutions on the flavors in sample packs, you may, however, have some flavors in different mg concentrations within a sample pack. Many customers are trying to make the switch from cigarettes to vaping and eventually to quitting smoke/vaping altogether. So we understand if you would like to have some of your sample pack in 3mg and some in 1.5mg. To do this, just state the flavors you want in a different mg in the order comments when placing your order."
},
{
"question": "What is Om Vapor’s VG/PG ratio?",
"answer": "The VG/PG ratio for our juices is 75VG/25PG in all lines, except for our Tobacco Lines and Fayette Reserve lines which we mix at 70VG/30PG."
},
{
"question": "Do you do custom labels or custom flavorings?",
"answer": "We do not do any custom labels or juice mixtures. If you would like to mix your concentrates or give our flavors a “boost,” check out our DIY page where we offer the stuff needed to do these things."
},
{
"question": "Why does my juice change colors?",
"answer": "E-liquid changes colors for multiple reasons, it is normal. After steeping, you will notice the color of your juice becoming slightly darker in color. Steeping is a reaction that comes from flavor compounds mixing, with the nicotine. E-liquid can also change in color due to exposure to UV light. As time goes on, your juice will get darker, but the quality of your experience will not be affected."
},
{
"question": "I don’t like the flavor I ordered, what do I do?",
"answer": "We understand there is always a risk when ordering e-liquid online from an unknown company. We also understand that taste is subjective. Some people will rave about flavors, and others may find them appalling. We do our best to craft flavors to fit everyone’s liking but sometimes may fall short. If you are a first time customer and you recently ordered an e-liquid that you didn’t particularly care for, send us an email to [email protected] with the flavor name, concentrate, batch # and ‘bottled on’ date(all located on the bottle’s label). We will do our best to accommodate our customers."
},
{
"question": "I paid for expedited shipping, but my order has yet to ship, why is that?",
"answer": "We fill all orders in numerical order. If there are orders placed before your own, we will fulfill those orders first. The only benefit to expedited shipping is the transit time is typically less compared to the standard rate."
},
{
"question": "Your processing times say 1-5 business days, but I still haven’t received a shipping confirmation, and it's day 5, what do I do?",
"answer": "Om Vapors works M-F 10 a.m.-6 p.m. EST. If you place an order after 10 a.m. EST, we will not process it until the following day. If you order on the weekend, or after 10 a.m EST, your order will not process until Monday morning. We usually keep processing times from 1-3 business days. However, please keep in mind that the processing times are longer during massive sales. If you ever need to make a change to your order, send an email IMMEDIATELY to [email protected] with your invoice # in the subject line, and we will do our best to fix whatever the issue may be."
},
{
"question": "When I tried your juice, it tasted like burnt popcorn, why is that?",
"answer": "I can assure you that we do not manufacture a “burnt popcorn” flavor, so if this happens to describe the taste when you are vaping our juice, we recommend changing your coils. If you are using an RDA, try modifying your cotton. Before sending us an email or calling in with your concern, please take the time to double check your hardware and settings at which you are vaping. Remember our juices are high VG, so they taste best out of highly-rated sub-ohm tank or RDA."
},
{
"question": "What is the shelf life of your e-liquid?",
"answer": "The shelf life may vary depending on the flavoring materials used in a particular flavor, as well as the milligram concentration. We can confidently say that all our juices will stay fresh for a six-month minimum if you store them in proper conditions. Higher the nicotine concentrations tend to expire more quickly than lower levels of nicotine. Steeping is when you store your e-liquid in a cool, dark place for 1-2 weeks. Most of our e-liquid is pre-steeped. You can check the born on date of our juice by looking at the side of the bottle. We also recommend shaking up your e-liquid to expedite the process. This process allows flavor compounds to break down and mix proportionately to give you the best flavor possible."
},
{
"question": "At what ratio should I mix my flavor concentrates with my Nicotine Base?",
"answer": "Depending on how stout you like your flavor, we recommend 15%-25% flavoring concentrate and 85%-75% base."
},
{
"question": "The FAQ didn't answer my question, what do I do?",
"answer": "If your questions are still unanswered, to contact us for is by sending an email to [email protected] or giving us a call at (828)-668-2732. We strive to answer all inquiries within 24-48 hours. Our business hours (Monday-Friday 10 am-6 pm EST).

"question": "How much does the Huggable Home Loan service cost?",
"answer": "Huggable Home Loans doesn’t charge you a fee. We essentially are paid by the bank that the loan is established with. Any lender will tell you that their loan is the best, but the only way to ensure you are getting an unbiased opinion, is to enlist the services of a broker. Choice Finance will disclose how much commission the bank is paying, when we find a suitable product. There are many factors to be considered such as income, number of applicants, how much deposit you have, time in occupation, your current assets and liabilities etc. I can help you quickly calculate your maximum borrowing capacity. Or use the online calculators to find out how much you can borrow in an instant."
},
{
"question": "Will you explain the buying process?",
"answer": "Part of the job of a good broker, is to make the purchasing process pleasant, it’s not just about finding a loan. All of the steps are clearly explained and can then be organised on your behalf. The process can of course still be daunting, but it shouldn’t be confusing, or hard work. There are many different scenarios and circumstances that must be considered, as well as some major changes to the lending environment of late. A large deposit can be used, however 97% LVR loans are still available, just not as readily and as easily as they were only a year or so ago. Each bank does have different criteria on this, but as a general rule, a requirement for at least 5% genuine savings (5% of the purchase price) has become the norm. The pros and cons and options for all loans are explained clearly during the application process. Our Broker service does not end at settlement. The service is ongoing and includes any issues or questions you may have with your loan, or any other future finance requirements."

In a test, using a nine foot gate and a fully charged power supply, the gate was raised and lowered 1800 times at it's normal speed of 6 to 8 seconds.

"question": "Sound ridiculous?",
"answer": "Well, it happens every day, often with the consumer losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars. You, as the property owner have little recourse other than to pursue the matter in court. Hiring a licensed contractor offers many additional protections to the property owner, especially regarding residential property. First of all, a contractor cannot obtain a license without possessing a minimum amount of experience and must pass a two day test under the direct of the Florida State Department of Professional Business Regulations. The applicant is subjected to a criminal history background check, and must not have any unresolved contracting complaints outstanding. Should you experience the above problems with licensed contractor, you as a residential property owner have significant protections not available to persons utilizing an unlicensed contractor. Among them is the ability to file a complaint against the contractor’s license with your local building department or the State of Florida. This is your guarantee should the workmanship be below standard or in violation of existing codes."
},
{
"question": "What should I do in selecting a contractor?",
"answer": "Ask for multiple current references that you can contact about work the contractor performed. Ask the contractor to provide a cost-estimate in writing for any work they will do. Make sure they are a Registered or Certified Contractor; licensed and insured in the State and local municipality. The contractor should certify that their work conforms to state and local regulations and codes. Verify that the contractor carries workers’ compensation insurance. We are ready to work with you now, but in order to start we need the details in your design to arrive at a price for the work as well as the establishment of a schedule. We require a signed contract that spells out the details of the work, the price agreed upon, the payment schedule, and the approximate completion date. This assures you and me that we are committed to this project together. Once we get started, we will keep you abreast of the work and budget through meetings and phone conversations. Remember, it’s a team effort and there’s no “I” in team. When we meet to discuss your project and understand your details, we will create a project plan that spells out in detail what every aspect of the project will cost. Communication is the real key when it comes to the budget for the project for we need to understand your expectations and your vision for the end result and we will work together to accomplish your dream."

"question": "Not sure if you want to wait for your next tax return or dip into your savings?",
"answer": "There are other options. On many occasions, our customers are in need of a new roof, but just don’t have the available funds to purchase one. We understand that roofing can be costly, so to provide another opportunity, we decided to offer financing options through our home improvement financing partner, GreenSky. Once you have secured an estimate and you decide you would like to proceed with work, you can contact GreenSky directly to qualify. Picking the plan that’s right for you can be done in a quick, simple application process that can be completed online at: GreenSky.com/Consumer or by phone at 866-936-0602. Make sure you have the Southwynd, Inc. merchant number handy, 81020765, when applying. Payments must be made at various points during the project, called “draws.” These payments are spelled out clearly in the contract, so that there are no surprises. We require a down payment to start the work so we can order the necessary materials and to obtain the building permits. If a lender is involved, we will work with them to create a draw and inspection schedule. Our in-house crews are very good at their jobs, working efficiently, and clean up after each day’s work. Your standards are high – so are mine. In addition, you should know that my crews are fully insured and meet all licensing requirements. Since starting the business in 1979, I have developed a planning and implementation process that has proven successful over and over again. Communications, a detailed contract, and the production schedule are really the keys here. We listen to you and your concerns and ideas for we need to know what you are thinking. Based on the project details and your input we can create a visual picture. From this input we can develop a professional architectural drawing that brings your dream to life on the page. With your plans in-hand, we can prepare your budget to review in detail with you. Once we agree, then we enter into a contractual agreement. With permits in-hand, the transformation begins. We get to work, doing what we do best. If there are any questions along the way, you can always reach us and get a straight answer quickly. If there are any changes in the project, we update the contract and schedule and keep moving forward. All projects will require the purchase of products, such as cabinets, flooring, doors, shower tile, fixtures, etc. Through experience, we have put together a list of supplier and vendors that will give you high quality products and will be conscientious of your budget.

[
{
"question": "What causes the grout to stain?",
"answer": "There are a couple of things that can cause some of the most resilient stains on grout. Using the wrong cleaning products will not only discolour your grout but can also corrode the grout and the tiles themselves. Also, using the wrong cleaning products can cause permanent damage to the tiles and should be avoided. Consult with cleaning experts to ensure you are using the recommended cleaning agents for the grout and tiles. The best bet is to avoid any abrasive or corrosive chemicals altogether; chances are they do more harm than good over frequent use. Grout is easily stained during the cleaning of tiles. The gaps between the tiles form little groves into which dirt can be trapped into or smeared, especially when mopping or wiping the tiles. Since the grout is porous, this dirt stains it almost instantly and sometimes permanently. An impervious sealant layer on the surface to prevent accumulation of dirt covers grout. However, this sealant wears off over time leaving the grout exposed to staining. Mold is a menace in areas prone to moisture, usually the bathroom. Moisture and warmth provide a suitable environment for mold to thrive. In bathrooms, the soap and body oils supply adequate food for the mold. It is easy for mold to grow on grout due to its porous nature, and scrubbing with chemicals does not help remove it. Chemicals used to remove mold usually eat into the grout and destroy it if used frequently. The solution is to hire experts to identify and fix the cause of mold growth before cleaning the grout; otherwise, it will become a repetitive cleaning process."
},
{
"question": "How to clean grout at home?",
"answer": "The simplest way to clean grout is by scrubbing with warm water and a brush in a circular non-aggressive motion. This may not be able to clean all the stains but trying it will not cost you a penny, plus it is a good place to start. This works for mild stains and heavy dirt on grout. Mix equal parts of warm water and vinegar and use it to soak on the grout. Allow the solution to time to dip into the ground. After the bubbling of the vinegar stops, scrub off the dirt using a stiff brush. Wipe away the excess vinegar solution and dirt off the tiles when done. Do not use vinegar on marble and limestone tiles since vinegar is known to damage some natural stone tiles. Make a paste and baking soda with a little water, at a ratio of three parts to one. Use it to cover the grout, then spray with vinegar and let it sit until it stops foaming then scrub and rinse with water. Hydrogen peroxide on its own can be used to dissolve oily and waxy stains. To improve its effectiveness, add a bit of baking soda and dish-washing soap. The soda and peroxide react to form a bleaching agent, while the soap loosens and soaks up the dirt. Use either oxygen or chlorine bleach. Bleach is the last resort for tough stains on grout. Soak the stained grout for about 10 minutes and then rinse with clean water to prevent resettling of the dirt. Always ensure the room is well ventilated before using the oxygen bleach. Do not use bleach too many times as it may erode grout. This is an environmentally friendly way of cleaning hard surfaces including grout and is highly effective. No chemicals are used. Follow the directions of use for the steam cleaner (different brands have specific procedures). Sometimes it is too late to clean grout and the only solution left is to remove it and re-grout. You do not have to remove all the tiles because of stained grout. Before removing any grout, always protect the edges of the tiles by covering them with painter’s tape. You can use either manual tools or a power tool to remove grout. With manual tools, you need a flat head screwdriver and a hammer. The idea is to chisel away the grout by gently hammering the screwdriver along the grout. Using this method, however, may take a long time for a large-scale job. For large-scale removal of grout, it’s faster to use an oscillating tool. Fit the device with a blade meant for removing grout and start working by holding the tool parallel to the grout, before tilting to remove more grout. Ensure you do not force the oscillating tool as it may damage your tiles. Once you are done, use a small flat screwdriver to scrape any remaining grout off the tiles. If there is still more grout, use a blunt utility knife to remove it. Vacuum as you work to maintain neatness."

"question": "What is the Women's Idea Exchange?",
"answer": "We are an ever changing group of women that meet 1x/month to exchange ideas and answer each others questions about our businesses and life in general. Each of us has different backgrounds, educations, perspectives, and opinions. Put that together with all of our entrepreneurial knowledge and you get valuable answers and feedback to all your questions, challenges, and brainstorm needs. It is a structured group so we get a lot of sh*t done for all who attend, AND have a fabulous time doing it. We have been meeting monthly for nearly 11 years. Renee Gotcher was the original founder of the Durango group, when she moved Lindsey Vasgird and Bethany Niccum took over the group. Then, when Lindsey left the area, Bethany Niccum called on her trusted friend Courtney Harshberger to help run the group and they changed the format from a speaker rotation to a 100% idea exchange. Consider yourself invited. Our group is open to all females that want to gain insight into their business through the eyes of their target audience. We do post our meeting invite on our Facebook Page and for those emails that we have collected, we send out an invite the Monday of the week we meet. The email invite is not required to attend. It is just a courtesy reminder. Your desire to connect with other professional business women in the area, some business cards if you want, a positive attitude (grouchy people are not invited) and something to write on for all of the amazing ideas you are going to get! We have some ladies that even record the feedback on their phones. Yay technology! You can also bring a lunch if you want, there is water and tea provided. We all gather a few minutes to noon (the 2nd Friday of the month) at Thrive Chiropractic Studio (202 West 22nd Street in Durango) and sit in a large circle of chairs. Bethany and Courtney start the meeting by walking through the meeting outline for any new ladies. We then move into 2 minutes of a focusing exercise to get us present and prep our brains. Then we jump into the FUN stuff. We start our true idea exchanging which is our timed portion of the meeting. Each woman has 3 minutes to stand up, introduce herself and ask the group a question for feedback. We have 3 questions that we suggest, but ANY question can be asked. After she sits down, the ideas fly. It is a popcorn style of feedback and exchanging. Often ideas grow on each other from a variety of different women. It is a very fast paced and fun exchange. Each woman gets 3 minutes, and 3 minutes only (includes introduction, question and idea sharing). So when your time is up, our beautiful timer-Courtney Harshberger will stand up noting the time is up and we move on to the next woman and her question so we can stay on time. You don't have to ask a question if you don't want to. We do have some women that come just to help and answer questions for other ladies. They may be as busy as they want to be in their line of work and just love the juju of the group. That is pretty much it. We end at 1pm- then, whomever wants to hang around and connect and explore more ideas after the meeting are welcome to. The biggest thing I can tell you is that when it is your turn to introduce yourself and ask your question- Be Clear! Some women like to REALLY explain all that it is that they do, all the jobs that they have and their journey into those positions and they talk and talk and talk and talk- well that leaves about 20 seconds or less of feedback time. That is not a win for them. Don't list all of the businesses that you do, only list the one that you have the question on. Don't go into why you do what you do unless it is relevant to your question. The 2nd biggest tip would be to REALLY listen to other women's questions and the feedback they get. Most women say they get more insight and ideas from others than their OWN question."
},
{
"question": "So what's so cool about an idea exchange?",
"answer": "Well, let's just say \"This is the most amazing group that you will attend and don't have to pay for!!\" Coke, Pepsi, Dominoes, McDonald's and all of the other big boys of the corporate product world pay BIG BUCKS to get feedback from their customers, potential customers and others that would never walk into their door. They hire research groups to pay consumers to ask them questions about their product or service. We do this for free."
},
{
"question": "Who goes to the WIE?",
"answer": "We have an ever changing group each and every month. Some months we have a very cozy group, others we are pushing 25 ladies. We never know, and we like it that way."
},
{
"question": "You will meet, landscapers, cleaners, insurance agents, mortgage brokers, chiropractors, jewelry diva's, hair stylists, financial planners, realtors, counselors, photographers, make up artists, clothing store owners, massage therapists, acupuncturists, product placements goddesses, marketing and branding guru's- do you want me to go on?",
"answer": "Our group is best for women who want to grow in their line of work, who are thinking of starting a business or who just want to meet with amazing women."
},
{
"question": "Isn't this the real question you were wondering??",
"answer": "#4, When you send in your picture/logo, back links to your website and a paragraph about yourself after you have attended a meeting, I will post it on this UBER popular website (the one you are reading right now) and you will then watch your SEO (Search Engine Optimization or as I like to call it 'Send Everyone Over' to your website) go through the roof due to the techie link stuff. This is not an angry women's group by any means, but let's be honest- women have different characteristics than men. We see things differently, communicate differently and have different things we consider in business that we can relate to with each other. If there is a man that would like to start a men's idea exchange- I am sure it would be righteous as well. When you come to a WIE meeting, you will receive an email after the meeting with all of the email addresses of the ladies that were in attendance that day. That way, it is easier to connect outside of the group. It is always greatly appreciated when you show up a few minutes early so we are not scrambling to set up more chairs after the meeting has started- as well as please help clean up after the meeting. Thanks!"

{
"question": "If everything is dead now - last but not least the final question: Is it somehow possible getting a copy of this forum before it is completly shut down?",
"answer": "PowerBASIC is still alive and being sold and there are NO plans for this forum to shut down anytime soon... although I am unsure on future development as there are no recent announcements as such. Some European customers may have issues accessing the main website due how PowerBASIC is handling GDPR. None-the-less, the product is still being sold and I would highly advise v10 (Windows) / v6 (Console) as both are great upgrades from your version. You might be best served by emailing [email protected] or [email protected] for a response directly from the Drakes (current owners of the PowerBASIC brand)."
},
{
"question": "Yes - I am not seeing the main page - what is GDPR ?",
"answer": "Many potential problems in there. I believe para 1.10 would be a biggee if sales are low (see bottom of that para) To avoid trouble with EU block web page access by IP numbers from there. Markus Haefner The new owner of PB, Adam J. Drake , posted a public \"roadmap\" here, where he outlines plans for the future of PB. Just some days before Adam Drake confirmed me in a message that his road map for PB is still valid. If i understand it right, he is is actually transfering PB into PB Code so that it can compile itself. Then he is possibly going to start making repairs and enhancements. The point is that pure ASM Code is hard to maintain. I am now able to visit the PB main web page from Sweden without using a US-based proxy, so it seems like the EU blocking now is solved."

"question": "What is esophageal & stomach cancer?",
"answer": "Technically speaking, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer are two separate conditions, referring to cancerous growths that form in the cells of the esophagus and the stomach, respectively. However, they’re often lumped together because they’re both fairly rare and both start in the GI tract."
},
{
"question": "What causes esophageal & stomach cancer?",
"answer": "Tobacco & Alcohol: Anyone who smokes heavily (a pack or more a day) or drinks heavily (2 or more drinks per day) is at a significantly increased risk for both esophageal and stomach cancers. Diet: People who eat a diet that’s high in sodium and starches but low in fiber are at a higher risk for esophageal and stomach cancer. Age: Esophageal and stomach cancer is much more likely in people over age 50. Genetics: People with a family history of esophageal and stomach cancer are more likely to develop it."
},
{
"question": "What are the treatments for esophageal and stomach cancer?",
"answer": "Often, your cancer doctor may decide to combine two or more of these treatments to achieve the best outlook."
},
{
"question": "If I have stomach surgery, will I still be able to eat?",
"answer": "In many cases, patients who have surgery for esophageal and stomach cancer only need to make minor adjustments to their diet. In a partial gastrectomy, in which a part of the stomach is removed, many patients may not need to change their diet at all.
