"question": "WHERE DOES OUR HEMP COME FROM AND HOW IS IT GROWN?",
"answer": "Our hemp comes exclusively from family farms that practice sustainable techniques, providing us with the highest quality product available while being as kind to the earth as possible. Despite lacking an official stamp confirming it’s “organic” nature (which currently doesn’t exist for hemp), there are no pesticides, herbicides, or inorganic fertilizers used in the production of our hemp. Although hemp shares the same species categorization as marijuana, Cannabis sativa L, and both plants can possess CBD, the two different varieties bring very different effects to the user and should not be mistaken as one in the same. Our CBD products are derived entirely from industrial hemp, are 100% legal in all 50 U.S. states, and contain no THC, the psychotropic agent in marijuana, giving you all the health benefits of CBD while leaving your mental and physical abilities untouched."
},
{
"question": "WILL CANNABINOID CREATIONS CBD PRODUCTS MAKE ME FEEL “HIGH”?",
"answer": "No. Hemp, on average, contains less than 0.3% THC naturally, and upon additional refinement, this percentage decreases even further. THC is the psychotropic agent found in marijuana that creates the “high” effect, but again, our CBD products come from industrial hemp, and NOT from marijuana."
},
{
"question": "WHY CAN’T YOU GROW HEMP IN THE U.S.?",
"answer": "Being hemp can contain trace amounts of THC, and is a close relative of marijuana, it has been (based upon economic and industrial opinion) horribly misclassified as an illegal crop. Hemp has been illegal to grow in the U.S. since 1937, minus a brief period during WWII. Due to its extremely dynamic nature, hemp faces many political foes, including, but not limited to, the cotton industry, the wood based paper industry, the oil and gas industry, and the cement industry."
},
{
"question": "WILL CANNABINOID CREATIONS CBD WORK FOR ME?",
"answer": "As with any substance that is new for an individual, there is no way to positively predict how it will affect you personally until you undergo a trial period with the product. Although Cannabinoid Creations cannot offer medical advice or make medical claims, industry findings have been providing overwhelming evidence in regard to the healthful properties of incorporating CBD into an individual’s daily routine. With wellness at the heart of our business model, we give you our promise to continue developing and supplying the best Cannabidiol products available, providing you the solutions to take your life back. The unfortunate reality is that our products are rather expensive for the average individual, but we at Cannabinoid Creations assure you that it isn’t for poor reason. Being the hemp industry is still in an “infant-esque” state due to political absurdity, there is yet to be enough money invested to bring costs significantly down. The truth of the matter is that quality products cost money, and here at Cannabinoid Creations, we’ve designed our product line without cutting a single corner – attempting to bring you not only the best products, but the best bang for your buck."
},
{
"question": "ARE ALL CANNABINOID CREATIONS PRODUCTS LAB TESTED?",
"answer": "Yes. Every Cannabinoid Creations CBD product is tested from beginning to end; subjects from each batch are removed and sent to independent labs for exhaustive testing. The results for each batch are posted to our website and you can individually match your batch number (found on product) with the batch number online for the full list of details."
},
{
"question": "WHERE ARE CANNABINOID CREATIONS PRODUCTS MADE?",
"answer": "Cannabinoid Creations is based in Detroit, Michigan, USA. We strive to collaborate with as many locally sourced companies as possible as part of our commitment to our community and country."
},
{
"question": "HOW LONG DO ORDERS TAKE TO PROCESS AND SHIP?",

{
"question": "Why should I add HUSO to my practice?",
"answer": "HUSO can balance the autonomic nervous system, moving someone from a sympathetic to a deeply relaxed parasympathetic state in the first session. As a health practitioner, you know how invaluable the ability to shift your client into a resting healing state is to the success of any wellness protocol."
},
{
"question": "Is HUSO easy to use?",
"answer": "Yes, it is very easy. HUSO is a plug and play system that requires a 90 minute Skype training. If you require the EDS (electrodermal screening) testing system, that will take additional training of a few hours, using Skype or in person in Nashville. You will be up and running with HUSO and experiencing great results from day one. HUSO is non-invasive and is appropriate for people of all ages, from young children to the elderly. It delivers restorative frequencies in a natural organic way that the brain and body will easily assimilate at a deep level. HUSO is not appropriate for those with an implanted electrical device such as a pacemaker because, in our pads, we create a subtle electromagnetic current that may cause disruption in some devices. HUSO is also not appropriate for those with epilepsy, seizure disorders or recent head injuries because we are affecting brainwaves. Those with severe anxiety, panic disorder, or Severe Autistic Spectrum Disorder may be disturbed by the unfamiliar sensations they may experience because of their over-sensitized nervous systems. (We believe HUSO can provide benefit in the area of autism but are waiting for clinical study results before recommending this. There may be individual cases where HUSO can be utilized for clients with panic disorder and severe anxiety. We ask that you contact us to discuss this before starting treatment on these clients)."
},
{
"question": "Why does HUSOPRO deliver a deeper therapeutic effect than the HUSO HOME unit?",
"answer": "HUSO HOME contains preset programs made up of tones shown to be beneficial to a majority of people. HUSOPRO contains 72 individual tones, allowing the practitioner to create programs specific to the needs of each client through a testing process, and to regularly retest and update these individual programs to reflect the changing state of those clients. HUSO HOME has four pads, two for ankles, two for wrists. HUSOPRO provides six pads: two for ankles, two for wrists, and two floating pads to be placed on the body wherever there is a specific issue."
},
{
"question": "Does HUSOPRO work on many levels?",
"answer": "We have found that HUSO addresses the imbalances and issues most critical to each person’s healing journey. The HUSO experience is calming and helps greatly with sleep, stress, and nervousness for the majority of people. We have also found that it is most certainly working at an energetic level. Significant numbers of people have reported transformative emotional and spiritual experiences during and after their sessions."
},
{
"question": "How often should a client be evaluated for a new customized program?",
"answer": "We have found the best results are achieved by testing clients every 4 to 6 weeks for new tones. You will find that as their healing journey progresses they will require different tones to continue their progress once they have assimilated their previous set of tones. Once someone is prescreened for their customized program, they run on this 6-10 times before being prescreened again."
},
{
"question": "What happens if a client does not like the sound of a tone that tests positive for them?",
"answer": "Our tones are more like “sound medicine” than music. They are not all perceived as pleasant by some people. If this should occur, remind your client that these are therapeutic sounds and may not always sound pleasing to the ear, but are designed to heal and balance. If they strongly object, then replace the offending tone with another that comes as close to balancing as possible."
},
{
"question": "Will there be synergies between HUSOPRO and HUSO HOME?",
"answer": "In early 2019, HUSO plans to add the ability for a HUSO HOME unit user to get tested in a HUSOPRO facility. The practitioner can either perform a session for clients on their pro unit, or they will be able to download that client’s customized program into the client's home unit. The practitioner will earn a referral fee for each home unit they sell to their clients. The program will expire after 3-4 weeks and require retesting and creation of a new updated program. For the client to get the best results from HUSO, they will need to be tested once a month for new customized tone programs. This will provide a great boost in health for the client as well as ongoing revenue for the HUSOPRO unitholder."
},
{
"question": "Does HUSOPRO make sense for me financially?",
"answer": "We think so! We have a great lease purchase option where your monthly payment can be as low as $200. That is only three paid HUSO sessions each month. The sooner you get HUSOPRO, the sooner you will be helping your clients return to greater health, and the sooner you will be not only covering your lease payment but also creating extra income for your business that you would not have had."
},
{
"question": "Why does HUSO use cords rather than being wireless?",
"answer": "There is a critical reason HUSO chose to use cords rather than go wireless. We found using cords allows us to shield you from as much exposure to WIFI and harmful EMFs as possible, while at the same time delivering the highest quality of non-digitized lossless sound. This is also why we developed our own delivery system rather than using an app via computer or cell phone to deliver our sound frequencies."
},
{
"question": "For instance, are there tones that are calming, that balance the liver, that help alleviate muscle aches in everyone across the board?",
"answer": "We have found it is impossible to create a standardized model for our technology. Your energy field is fluid, your frequency determined by so many factors. The tones needed to create the resonance and entrainment necessary to balance certain issues will change, sometimes from day to day, depending on how far out of balance you are, as well as the root cause of the difficulty you are experiencing."

"question": "How much will it cost to change my electrical panel?",
"answer": "Prime Electric will be happy to provide you with a rough over-the-phone estimate to complete the work at no charge. To give you an exact price, we must come out to your home or business for a variety of reasons. Things like panel location, electrical system flexibility, feeder cable length, and, most importantly, the decision to repair or completely replace the panel are important pieces of information we must find out before we begin a job. To provide an exact price without this information is impossible. Please give us a call at (800) 331-9333 and we will be happy to explain this further. Aluminum wiring was used in the late 1960s and into the mid-1970s in many homes across North America. Aluminum wiring itself is not dangerous to have in your house. The issue with aluminum wiring is in faulty terminations either in receptacles and switches, or light fixtures and equipment. Due to expansion and contraction of the conductor itself and the fact that aluminum will oxidize over time, heat can be generated at points where the aluminum wiring is improperly terminated. One of the main issues with aluminum wiring is that while everything may appear fine with your wiring, it could be deteriorating behind devices, creating a dangerous fire hazard. If you have concerns about aluminum wiring in your home or business you should have it inspected by Prime Electric who has experience working with aluminum wiring."
},
{
"question": "How do I replace my own light fixture?",
"answer": "Replacing a light fixture is a more complicated process than working on a plug or a switch. Some older homes in Seattle and the Puget Sound region don’t have a junction box, and new fixtures require a junction box in order to be installed. Remember this: each installation needs to be evaluated individually. If the installation doesn’t seem straightforward, call us and we will be happy to help."
},
{
"question": "Can I change my own outlets and switches?",
"answer": "If it is a simple problem with your home electrical system, you as a homeowner with basic electrical knowledge, can fix it yourself. Keeping in mind that safety is paramount when dealing with electricity, the first thing you must do is turn off the circuit breaker.Never do any work on an energized circuit. Most homeowner issues such as replacing switches or outlets are simple. To understand some of the basics, there are good do-it-yourself books in the library or local hardware store. When changing an outlet or switch, the main thing to remember is the longer slot on the outlet device has to be connected to the neutral (white) wire. The black (or hot) wire connects to the smaller slot. The green (or bare) wire connects to the ground slot. You’ll also need to purchase a plug tester so you can test each outlet after installation. If you have any questions about this process, give us a call and we’ll help. First, look for the breaker that’s set in the middle. Then flip the breaker all the way off. You should feel a slight resistance as the spring inside resets. After you feel this, turn the breaker back on. Your power should be restored. In case the breaker doesn’t reset, call us and we’ll troubleshoot the problem for you."
},
{
"question": "What does a homeowner need to fix simple home repair problems?",
"answer": "If you’re a handy home owner, it’s possible to fix many simple repair problems yourself. But keep in mind that safety comes first. With basic tools such as wire strippers, pliers, diagonal cutters (dikes), screwdrivers (flat and Phillips head), a hammer, a plug tester and an electrical circuit tester, you can fix small electrical problems. If the problem is with a faulty appliance, Prime Electric will be happy to troubleshoot and fix these issues for you. At Prime Electric, we do offer free over-the-phone estimates. In some cases, we may need to come out to your home or business to diagnose the problem that you are having. If this is the case, we do charge a reasonable assessment fee to get a better understanding of the problem. At that time, we will be able to provide you with an estimate. If you choose to have the work done with us, we will happily apply the assessment fee to the job cost. Give us a call to get a free over-the-phone estimate, or book an appointment now in real time by clicking the \"Book Now\" link on the top of the page."

Some sellers charge double our prices! ▸ The name I want to add to a gift has an accent."

We do however offer personalised greeting cards so if you add one the receiver will then know who the gift is from and that may be an acceptable answer."

For example, models can be used to generate predictions of future outcomes based on historical data. For the purposes of the Hackathon, we are open to considering models which vary widely in sophistication, from relatively simple linear regressions based on Excel to very complex algorithms run on AI platforms. “Positive impact” in this sense, is subjectively defined as a meaningful beneficial outcome resulting from an AI-based solution that has social, economic and technology based impacts."

"answer": "Everyone who’s a Freetrade user, community member or joined our waitlist or mailing list will get the head start. Get on the mailing list by adding your email address on the Freetrade website."
},
{
"question": "Can investors share the head start link with friends & family?",
"answer": "Yes, users who receive a head start (private mode) link can share it with others."
},
{
"question": "Is this round eligible for EIS?",
"answer": "EIS also has a limit per 12 month period, being £5. So only £2m could be potentially eligible and we would allocate this on a first-come-first-served basis via Crowdcube. We don’t have advance assurance from HMRC yet, but have applied, and have never had an issue with SEIS or EIS eligibility in our past rounds."
},
{
"question": "What share types are on offer?",
"answer": "We’ll only issue B shares. Existing A shareholders will receive B shares when they invest in this round. Having a large number of A shares carry an extra administrative / corporate governance burden with respect to voting matters (we’re not keen to run Freetrade like a public company yet!). There are also restrictions placed on A shares by our Articles preventing transfers or sales, so B shares offer more flexibility for shareholders to do as they see fit without requiring rather onerous procedures for the company to facilitate."
},
{
"question": "Will the 1.5% Crowdcube fee apply in this fundraise?",
"answer": "Yes, Crowdcube charges a 1.5% fee on investments. The fee is a minimum of 50p & a maximum of £250. It’s added to the sum that you invest, rather than being deducted from your investment. There’s more details here."
},
{
"question": "Are existing shareholders exercising their pre-emption rights exempt from the 1.5% fee?",
"answer": "If you’re over 18 and resident in a country that allows crowdfunding investments, you should be able to invest. A few countries do not allow their residents to crowdfund. Check out Crowdcube’s official guidelines here. You can invest £10 or more."
},
{
"question": "How will Freetrade use the funds raised?",
"answer": "In terms of EU expansion, that is one of the main reasons for raising more capital. We currently have a regulatory passport to offer Freetrade to residents in the EU, but we’re not sure if we will be able to use that going forward to have to resort to Plan B due to the ongoing Brexit shambles. Regardless, we will be coming to the rest of Europe, I just can’t say the timing yet. EU expansion is up first, but we’d love to offer Freetrade beyond Europe in the future. Finally, on growth, we have some exciting plans that I’ll leave Viktor to talk more about. But I will say that the most effective channels for us have been referrals and content and we plan to double down on both."
},
{
"question": "Will there be more fundraising via crowdfunding / VCs in the future?",
"answer": "This will almost certainly not be the last capital raise Freetrade does as we have very ambitious plans for growth in the future. It may be the last raise we do as pure crowdfunding though as there is a limit set by the EU on how much a company can crowdfund without a prospectus. But of course we could issue a prospectus, similar to how Monzo and Crowdcube itself have done before, but we haven’t made any decisions on that yet."

"question": "Can I make decisions about my spouse or partner’s remains?",
"answer": "| O’Drobinak & Nowaczyk, P.C. Yes, if you are married or in a registered relationship and in a state which recognizes that relationship. However, if you’re either, i) not married or in a registered relationship, or ii) you are in a state which does not recognize that registered relationship, then default state law allows your partner’s family of origin rather than you to make those decisions. However, if your spouse or partner designates you as agent under their Health Care Power of Attorney, then you would be able to make such decisions."

},
{
"question": "What can be done to help my site’s SEO without additional or ongoing services?",
"answer": "The best practice is to ensure that your site has a fair amount of content and that the content within your site contains the keywords that you would like to be found as; this is called keyword density. The higher your keyword density the more likely your site will be found. The difficult part for most clients is to work the keywords into the content so they sound natural within the copy. While we want a high keyword density within the pages of your site we don’t want them keywords to be thrown in haphazardly or in spammed nature. This will have actually have a negative impact on your site’s search engine performance. Much like the keywords discussed earlier geographic keywords can be worked into your site’s content and titles in a natural way. You could also take it a step further and create individual landing pages that contain targeted content for specific geographic areas."
},
{
"question": "What about ongoing SEO services?",
"answer": "Ongoing SEO service consists of monitoring and suggesting/making changes to your site’s content or structure in order to maintain and improve your site’s performance. For this you can always utilize us, or a preferred SEO partner. The cost of ongoing SEO service can range in price depending on the level of monitoring and reporting you are looking for as well as the involvement of making changes to the site’s content / structure. Most small site contracts will start at $200 – $300 per month but can increase in cost along with the amount of services performed. For most sites we would recommend not starting any SEO maintenance services for 30-60 days after the new site launch. This is simply due to the fact that it takes time for your site to be indexed by the major search engines and for changes to start appearing from the old site to the new. If your site is brand new you will want to wait 30-60 days after your site has been indexed for the first time by the major search engines."
},
{
"question": "What if I need help creating search engine optimized content?",
"answer": "If you don’t feel like you can be the William Shakespeare of SEO, then you’re in luck – Fuzzy Duck offers SEO copywriting services. The cost of this service will vary according to how much content you are able to provide to us and how complicated your content would be to adequately write. SEO is an ongoing effort to improve and maintain your site’s performance within search engines. There are many things that go into your site’s performance within search engines. Fuzzy Duck follows web standards to ensure a site is capable of being found and allows for any additional ongoing efforts in this area. Social media is a form of online communication allowing your business to shift roles of the content generator and the listener. Joining online social networks allows you to create conversations and to be a part of other’s conversation by providing content, commenting, and sharing information. Social media has become influential because of the constant two-way communication, allowing your “voice” to always be a part of the conversation."
},
{
"question": "Why should my business be associated with social media?",
"answer": "Staying current on marketing and advertising trends these days includes adding social media. Traditional marketing and advertising costs can amount to thousands of dollars and the effectiveness and value on the return on investment can be difficult to judge. On a budget, it can be hard for a company to cover the entirety of what they do through traditional marketing. By utilizing social media, companies have the opportunity to generate specific messages for their target audience and create conversation for all to see and be a part of. Social media allows potential for increased brand awareness, higher website traffic, and will create a positive identity with your audience. Creating an effective social media strategy can generate positive exposure, increase brand identity, drive web site traffic and create conversation with consumers. A strategy can also potentially increase revenue, generate feedback, and help you obtain new customers or clients. Building a community with your employees on social media will create a solid online presence. Having a voice will allow your business to build or reconstruct the image that is being talked about. Also, being a part of social networks allows your business to connect with past and present customers in a unique way."
},
{
"question": "Do I have time to devote to my social media?",
"answer": "In order for social media to be effective, your business needs to be consistently present in the online community. Time can be a crunch, so being selective about what information to post is important. Fuzzy Duck is here to help you with both creating and providing continual posts and comments to your social media accounts. You can spend zero time on social media and still produce rich content-based information to your followers and friends."
},
{
"question": "Will my business accomplish its goals immediately?",
"answer": "Developing a strategy plan for social media does not generate immediate results. Establishing a social presence and audience takes time. There are many ways to generate followers when starting out. Your business needs to build a web presence that is consistent and leave people wanting more."
},
{
"question": "Can I use social media to achieve business objectives I already have in place?",
"answer": "Having objectives from your marketing plan already in place will allow your social media strategy to remain cohesive and consistent with your brand message. Staying consistent with fonts, colors and images is an important objective to be implemented in your social media strategy. Depending on your goals and objectives what you publish on social media should contribute to that goal."
},
{
"question": "Are my competitors using social media?",
"answer": "Social media marketing is no different than standard print marketing in terms of keeping your eye on the competition. As a business, you want to know or see what competitors are doing differently. Social media allows you to learn from your competitors and obtain new ideas on how to interact with your audience."
},
{
"question": "How long has Fuzzy Duck been in business?",
"answer": "Fuzzy Duck opened it’s doors in August of 1993, and prides itself on being an active and positive partner in their community.

},
{
"question": "Where did the name Fuzzy Duck come from?",
"answer": "As a boy growing up on a small farm in Southern Minnesota, the founder of Fuzzy Duck, Eddie Ulrich, spent much of his time sketching and pushing his imagination to the limits. He quickly gained a modest reputation for being able to draw and because of that, he was often asked to do artwork for everything from small area businesses to lemonade stands. One such project was for an area farmer who wanted a simple sign to advertise some ducklings he was selling at an upcoming flea market. Not unlike young Eddie, the ducks possessed unique features that lent themselves to illustration – so he drew a little cartoon duck and in stylized letters wrote “Fuzzy Ducks for Sale”. Although the farmer was puzzled by his choice of adjectives, he used the sign and he sold every last duckling within the first half hour of the flea market. In fact, the sign drew so much attention that the farmer received inquiries as to whether he had any more “Fuzzy Ducks” at home. He couldn’t understand all the fuss over common ducklings – especially in a farm community. What he didn’t realize was that our young designer had made them into more than just ducklings – he had given them a unique graphic identity that set them apart. It wasn’t until our founder’s college years while earning degrees in advertising and graphic design that he looked back on this “Fuzzy Duck” project and realized that he had combined a visual identity with a memorable name and in doing so had differentiated the product and called attention to it."
},
{
"question": "Wasn’t that what successful design was all about?",
"answer": "So, when Eddie started freelancing as a designer, he did so under the name Fuzzy Duck! After college, Eddie spent a few years working for a marketing firm and then a Minneapolis-based Ad Agency. After this work experience, an opportunity presented itself for Eddie to go into business for himself. He strongly thought about naming his company something a little more professional than Fuzzy Duck – perhaps Drake Communications would create a more professional image. The reaction he got from his existing clients and friends, however, was overwhelming – “…keep the Fuzzy Duck name, we love it!” So, knowing that the client is always right, he kept the Fuzzy Duck moniker and started his company."
},
{
"question": "How big is Fuzzy Duck?",
"answer": "Fuzzy Duck currently has 9 full time employees, including project manager, social media specialist, and several designers, illustrators and developers. We also have several talented freelancers ready to lend a hand whenever necessary."
},
{
"question": "What is Peacock Promotions and where are they now?",
"answer": "Peacock Promotions was founded by the owners of Fuzzy Duck in 1998 to service the promotional product needs of their existing design clients. In spring of 2007, Peacock Promotions took on new ownership and at the beginning of 2009, the owners moved the business to a new location in Minnetonka, MN. Fuzzy Duck and Peacock Promotions still collaborate from time to time to serve their mutual clients. Visit the Peacock Promotions website."

{
"question": "Do I have to get off the ship at each port of call?",
"answer": "No, you are never required to get off the ship. Some passengers prefer to spend the day onboard the ship, particularly when stopping at a port they've previously visited. Many ships have scheduled shipboard activities, even on port days."
},
{
"question": "How do I get from the ship to the pier?",

},
{
"question": "Are there planned activities at ports of call?",
"answer": "At each port of call, you have the option of booking a cruise line's shore excursions, or exploring on your own. All shore excursions can be booked at the ship's shore excursion desk. Of course, guests aren't required to get off the ship at all, and may prefer to spend a quiet day onboard."
},
{
"question": "Are meals paid for while I'm in port?",
"answer": "No, you must pay for your own meals while in port. One exception is when your ship is visiting the cruise line's private island (generally on Caribbean itineraries), during which time a beach buffet is generally served free-of-charge."
},
{
"question": "Can I bring visitors to the ship?",
"answer": "While friends and family are welcome at most piers to see you off, for security reasons only cruise passengers are allowed to board the ships. This applies at ports of call as well."

Typically, and unless stated otherwise, the entire product is covered for the duration of the warranty, including all repair parts and labor. Warranty coverage typically does not include postage to and from our service center. Warranties also do not cover incidental and consequential damages unless prohibited by state law. As mentioned in an earlier FAQ, the FDA does not endorse specific medical devices or medical device manufacturers. Companies that list their products as FDA approved are misbranding these medical devices in violation of the laws and regulations of the United States. A 510(k) number is a premarket notification number that is required for certain classes of medical devices in the US. Generally, devices that are higher risk require premarket notification to the FDA prior to bringing the devices to market. The 510(k) number is issued once a company has proven that a device is substantially equivalent in performance and safety to other devices already existing on the market. ADC manufactures and distributes a number of devices that require premarket notification, and the 510(k) numbers for these devices are available from our regulatory department. It should be noted that devices with less risk are often exempt from the premarket notification requirements. Yes! ADC maintains licensing and registration in a number of other countries, most notably Canada and the European Union. Information relating to license numbers and CE certificates may be obtained by contacting ADC’s regulatory department. Yes! Contact our customer service department for assistance with your export requirements. Our trained staff can help you obtain any information needed for foreign registrations, customs documents, or other regulatory/technical information required for the products. Certificates to Foreign Governments are also available upon request for international customers. Yes, your local ADC dealer can assist you with replacement parts or warranty service either directly or by forwarding your product to ADC for servicing on your behalf. Regrettably ADC can only repair and service products manufactured by ADC. If you need assistance identifying the manufacturer of the brand of product you own, please call our toll free number at 1-800-ADC-2670. Generally most devices can be serviced within 5 business days or less. It is recommended that you plan for a device to be out of service for two weeks as transit times to and from ADC may vary depending on your location. Yes! ADC’s service center will test devices requiring calibration using test equipment calibrated to NIST traceable standards. Where devices require recalibration, this service will be performed free of charge as part of the repair process. Calibration checks are a standard part of the ADC repair service and your device will always be tested prior to its return to you. If a product is under warranty and cannot be recalibrated due to damage, replacement parts will be provided (and tested) during the repair process. All recalibration services that are performed on gauges include a calibration sticker that will be applied to your device indicating the date that the calibration was performed and the suggested date for recalibration in the future. Yes, although due to the time and labor involved this service is not provided free of charge. A $50 fee is applicable for each device that you wish to have certified. We recommend this service only for those customers who are using their device in sensitive research where an extra assurance of accuracy may be beneficial or required. ADC can only provide credit for new, unused products and only to ADC retailers who have purchased the product directly from ADC. Please contact the ADC retailer where you purchased the product for information on their return policy. It should be noted that restocking fees may apply for items returned for credit. ADC dealers that wish to return a purchase for credit should contact our customer service department and obtain a return authorization. Products with lithium-ion batteries have certain shipping restrictions, including restrictions on the shipment of these batteries via aircraft. The warning on the package is designed for freight forwarders so they are aware that the items they are handling contain these batteries. If the packaging has been compromised and you suspect the lithium-ion battery in your device has been damaged, do not attempt to charge the battery or use the product. Contact our customer service department at 1-800-ADC-2670 for assistance with your damaged shipment. Note that you should not attempt to re-ship damaged devices that contain lithium-ion batteries; see the sections below for additional details on how to handle these batteries. Damaged or waste lithium-ion batteries should not be disposed of along with regular waste. These batteries can be recycled and you should locate the nearest recycling center to properly dispose of the batteries. To locate a recycling center near you, go to www.call2recycle.org and use the locator. Care should be taken when transporting multiple batteries for recycling. Battery terminals should not be in contact with one another during transport or storage, and where applicable you may place electrical tape over the battery contacts to help prevent short circuiting. Never dispose of lithium-ion batteries in fire or allow them to be exposed to excessive heat or flames. Over the years, we’ve greatly expanded the number of color options we sell. While this means more choices for our customers, it’s also presented some challenges when the color that arrives isn’t quite what a customer expected. In product descriptions, we represent colors with both names and images. We try to use straightforward names for our colors, and for many this works well (e.g., black, red, navy.) In other cases, especially within color families, the names can be more subjective (e.g., turquoise vs. teal vs. Caribbean). On a few occasions, we’ve missed the mark and have changed the name or even tweaked a product’s actual color. There have also been cases where the color of the components provided by our subcontractors drift a little over time as new lots are produced. In most cases though, a color discrepancy arises because a photograph, either in print or online, appears different across different media or to the individual who’s looking at it. The colors within a photograph can vary from the actual product as it moves from three dimensions to two. The color on printed pieces produced from that photograph (whether official ADC materials or dealer catalogs) may shift a little further based on variables like the type of paper. Product displayed on various electronic screens – phones, tablets and computer monitors – will all display color differently, sometimes dramatically so depending on the graphics card, drivers, and the type of backlighting and room lighting. And finally, no two people actually perceive color in exactly the same way and may have different ideas of what a particular color “should” look like. So what one person sees as a light turquoise, someone else might see as a powder blue. With all that said, we work very hard to ensure our products are displayed as accurately as possible so the color you see in the catalog or on the screen is as close as possible to the color you receive. The Diagnostix 2100 and Advantage 2200 fingertip pulse oximeters can be used on children at least one year old or weighing at least 28 lbs (13kg). The Adimals 2150 fingertip pulse oximeter is designed specifically for children with a finger thickness of 0.2” to 0.63” (5.0mm to 16.0mm). Under certain conditions, the PVC tubing used in our ADSCOPES when exposed to atmospheric ozone, combined with skin oils can become rigid. If you wear your scope around the neck, try not to let it come in contact with the skin. In addition, periodic treatment with a vinyl protector (such as Armor All) once a month may delay the process. Should the tubing in your ADSCOPE become rigid, return to ADC for complimentary warranty service. Older style Adsoft™ PVC eartips (included on all Adscope® stethoscopes manufactured prior to 2014) are equipped with a threaded insert. If your stethoscope is equipped with threaded eartips, periodically tighten the eartips to ensure security. You may apply Teflon™ tape, or clear nail polish to the binaural thread to improve security without compromising scope performance or jeopardizing warranty coverage. Do not apply the adhesive to the eartips. Before using stethoscope, make sure glue has thoroughly dried. Should you have further issues with your eartips, or if you would prefer to receive our new silicon Adsoft™ Plus eartips with an adapter for more security, contact ADC for a complimentary replacement pair at [email protected] or call toll-free at 1-800-ADC-2670. To maximize performance of your ADC scope, you want to optimize the seal from the scope's chestpiece to your ears. Any leakage or obstruction will impede performance. First, align the binaurals properly so that the eartips point towards the bridge of your nose. On PROSCOPE series scopes and the ADSCOPE 641, you will need to adjust the binaurals to align the eartips correctly. On ADSCOPE series scopes, the binaurals are pre-angled 15° forward for a snug fit. But, you must make sure to position them correctly - eartips FORWARD. Next, adjust the binaural tension. Too loose and acoustic transmission will suffer. Too tight and the scope will not be comfortable. To reduce the tension, grip the binaurals firmly using both hands with fingers at the center of the \"Y\" in the tubing, thumbs at each side with the tubing branches out. Flex binaurals gradually until the desired tension is obtained. To increase the tension, grip the binaurals in the hand and squeeze the binaural tubes together gradually. Please note that excessive adjustment of the spring tension could weaken the spring. Select the eartips that are most comfortable and best seal the aural canal. ADC scopes come with at least two pairs of eartips; many are equipped with three pairs. Finally, make sure that you maintain your scope in good working condition. Obstructions from dust or dirt in the binaurals will impede performance, while tubing cracks will permit acoustic leakage. Generally speaking, to attenuate certain frequencies. The flat side is equipped with a membrane that is generally referred to as the diaphragm side. The conical or bell shaped side is called the bell. Body sounds generally fall within a frequency range of 50 to 2000 Hz. The diaphragm side is designed to attenuate the lower frequency and accentuate higher frequencies within this range - from 500 to 1000 Hz. The bell side is designed for lower frequencies - from 50 to 500 Hz. Most diaphragm only scopes (ADC 660, 662 and 665 series) are designed for general assessment or blood pressure measurement. Combination scopes (those equipped with both a diaphragm and bell) are designed to provide a broader frequency response. In a typical combination scope, only one side of the chestpiece is \"active\" at a time. Rotating the chestpiece around its valve stem selects one side and \"deactivates\" the other. It should be noted that on better quality models there is little or no acoustic leakage from the \"deactivated\" side. Our top of the line ADSCOPES with AFD technology allow adjustment of the frequency by altering pressure to the chestpiece. Light pressure accentuates lower frequencies, while firm pressure accentuates higher frequencies simulating the diaphragm and bell sides of a two sided chestpiece. ADC offers AFD technology in ½ dozen models ADC produces over a dozen different models of combination scopes with an MSRP from under $2 to nearly $300. Two-tube stethoscopes, such as the ADSCOPE 600, 601, 606 and 641 (the 600, 601 and 606) feature our two-tube in one design, while the 641 actually has two separate tubes) provide better stereo separation allowing you to hear the subtle characteristics of heart sounds and murmurs more distinctly. The heavier tubing also filters out the distracting noise typical of a busy medical environment. Laboratory tests have demonstrated that shorter tubing provides a better acoustic response. In reality, most people do not have the hearing acuity to detect any performance impact from changes in tubing length unless there is a dramatic change in that length. In fact, the acoustic transmission of lower frequencies, with their longer wavelength, benefit slightly from increases in tubing length. Longer tubing tends to make the scope more convenient to use, but also adds a bit to its weight. Bottom line - tubing length is generally a matter of personal preference. ADC makes dozens of stethoscopes - from institutional models with a MSRP of about $2.00 to a professional electronic model costing nearly $300. The model you should choose depends on the application and your budget. First and foremost, choose the scope that works best for YOU. Check the fit and comfort; you could be wearing your scope for extended periods of time. Eartips are critical as they are the interface between you and the instrument. Make sure they’re both comfortable and provide a proper seal to optimize sound transmission. ADSOFT eartips, found exclusively in our ADSCOPES provide the ultimate in wearing comfort and acoustic seal. Next, choose a scope that has the features you need within your budget. ADSCOPES are available with MSRP’s from under $20 to about $300 so there’s sure to be a model that’s right for you. Finally, make sure your scope is covered by a comprehensive warranty program and backed by a company with a reputation for customer service. Acoustic ADSCOPES are covered from 5 years to life, depending upon the model. With over 30 industry awards – most of them for service - ADC is one of the most honored names in core diagnostic instruments. It’s a name you can TRUST. If you need versatility, you may want to select a convertible model - a scope with interchangeable chestpiece fittings such as our ADSCOPE 641 (Sprague series), or ADSCOPE 601 (Convertible Cardiology). Stainless steel is generally the preferred metal; its extra mass tends to help eliminate extraneous acoustic artifacts. So, for best acoustic performance and maximum durability, choose one of our all stainless models - 600, 601, 603, 604, or 605 series. However, there is a weight/performance trade-off and you might prefer a lighter weight model such as the Ultra lightweight Cardiology 606 or the Clinician-lite 609 series. These scopes weigh as little as ½ the weight of their stainless counterparts. Better models tend to have a double tube configuration which provides enhanced stereo separation. Our ADSCOPE 641 has two tubes. Our ADSCOPE Cardiology models - the 600, 601 and 606 series have a single tube with bi-lumen (two tubes in one) design. If you prefer a single sided, sculpted chestpiece choose from any one of our Platinum series ADSCOPEs - the 600, 612, 614, 615 series. These models feature a single sided chestpiece with our Adjustable Frequency Diaphragm(AFD)/Technology. AFD allows you to choose bell or diaphragm performance from a diaphragm only scope. If you prefer AFD Technology in a traditional 2 sided chestpiece, look no further than our Convertible Cardiology 601. For blood pressure measurement, the ADSCOPE 609 series provides many of the design features of our more expensive models in a lightweight, affordable stethoscope. Institutional buyers generally choose from our PROSCOPE series (660, 662, 665, and 670 series) which provide excellent performance at market sensitive pricing. Because stethoscope selection is really a matter of personal choice, we recommend that you try a few models to determine the one that works best for you. Five factors – Performance, Quality, Durability, Warranty, and Value. Performance: According to independent lab tests, ADC PROSCOPE and ADSCOPE stethoscopes perform as well, or better than comparable competitive models. Depending on model, they may include AFD Technology, PVC diaphragm rims and bells, ADSOFT eartips, bi-lumen design internal spring binaurals and convertible chestpieces for unmatched versatility. Quality: ADC stethoscopes are made from the finest materials - brass, aluminum, stainless steel and PVC, all manufactured to the highest tolerances. Final inspection, assembly and packaging are then performed in ADC's Hauppauge facility to ensure strict compliance to ADC's uncompromising standards. Durability: ADSCOPES are made from the finest materials and designed to withstand the toughest use. Warranty: Depending on model, ADC scopes are warranted from 1 year to life. Value: Despite providing superior materials and construction, performance and warranty coverage, ADC scopes are generally priced 20% to 40% less than some models and priced only a little more than those so called \"imports\". A pacemaker will not cause interference. Defibrillators may cause some interference, but only at those times that the defibrillator is actively firing. For many years our official warranty statement excluded tubing and other consumable parts like eartips, diaphragms and rims. In reality, we always provided free repair/replacement of any parts so we decided to formally re-write our warranty policy to be comprehensive. In fact, if you need eartips or other consumables, simply contact our customer service department and we will be happy to send them to you with our compliments. If, while under warranty, your scope needs more extensive repairs in our service department, send it back to us for complimentary refurbishment during service. AFD stands for Adjustable Frequency Diaphragm technology. Stethoscope models with AFD technology feature a single sided chestpiece that allows adjustment of the frequency by altering pressure to the chestpiece. Light pressure accentuates lower frequencies, while firm pressure accentuates higher frequencies, simulating the diaphragm and bell sides of a two sided chestpiece. Yes! Conversion kits are available that will allow you to affix Adsoft™ Plus eartip adapters on your existing Adscope® stethoscope. Contact our customer service department at 1-800-ADC-2670 for more information about obtaining upgraded eartips for your Adscope® stethoscope. This will depend on the age of your Adscope® stethoscope. If your Adscope® was manufactured prior to 2014 and has threaded aural tubes, you will need to affix a special adapter to use the new Adsoft™ Plus fitted silicon eartips. To begin, ensure that the old eartips are removed from each aural tube. You will need to apply a single drop of glue on the threads of the binaural and thread the earpiece adapter (supplied with your Adsoft™ Plus eartips) until it is hand tight. (We recommend Loctite®, Krazy® Glue, or a similar adhesive.) Once the adapter is in place, slide your new Adsoft™ Plus eartip over the adapter until it locks into place. Repeat this process for your second binaural. If your Adscope® stethoscope is already equipped with eartip adapters rather than threading on the binaural, then all you need to do is slide your new Adsoft™ Plus eartip over the adapter as described above, locking it into place. Older style Adsoft™ eartips are made with PVC and feature integrated threading that will allow them to thread onto Adscope® stethoscopes manufactured before 2014. While comfortable and secure, these eartips can loosen over time and require that the end user perform minimal maintenance in the form of tightening the eartips on their threading. New Adsoft™ Plus eartips are made of silicon and feature an adapter that the eartip snaps onto. Supplied with newer Adscope® stethoscopes manufactured in 2014 or later, these eartips cannot loosen over time as their adapters are permanently affixed to the ends of the aural tubes. There are a number of reasons that could happen. One is called the binaural effect. In the binaural effect sound presented to two ears is judged to be louder than the same sound at the same loudness presented to only one. To illustrate this phenomenon, try this experiment. Listen to music though earbuds and remove one from the ear without touching the volume. The perceived volume will drop dramatically."

"question": "What does that have to do with your stethoscope?",
"answer": "Well if the headset isn't properly aligned, the spring tension is too loose, or the eartips don't make a good seal, the sound transmitted to one ear may be impeded. You will perceive this as a dramatic drop in volume, or, at the very least dramatically reduced sound on the “disconnected” side. This can also happen if you hold your head in a certain position during the auscultatory exam. Take these steps to ensure a proper aural fit and maximum acoustic performance. Headset Orientation: Make sure the eartips point forward TOWARDS the bridge of your nose. This is the number one cause of diminished performance in a stethoscope. Eartube Alignment: Make sure each eartip sits snugly, firmly, but comfortably in the ears. Adjust as needed. Eartip Fit: Large and small Adsoft are provided. (small are on the scope). Some models include a second pair of small as well. Pick the size that provides a comfortable fit and good acoustic seal. As to head position, most professionals find that for best headset alignment and acoustic seal, the head should be tilted down slightly. All medical device manufacturers and most medical devices are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has accepted the sphygmomanometer standards established by the American National Standards Institute. The ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060 series of standards set performance requirements for non-automated (aneroid & mercurial) sphygmomanometers as well as automated (electronic) sphygmomanometers. You may obtain copies of these standards by contacting ANSI or visiting their website. Aneroid sphygs utilize mechanical gears and a mechanical linkage which can wear out or be knocked out of calibration. ADC aneroids are designed to provide a visual indication of accuracy. Our aneroid will require re-calibration if the indicator needle is outside the oval at the bottom of the dial. Unfortunately, when the needle is inside the oval, you can't be absolutely sure that the gauge is in calibration, unless it is a brand new unit from a reputable manufacturer (that's because gauges can be tampered with - some more easily than others). As such, it's a good idea to periodically test the gauge against a unit of known accuracy, or return the unit to ADC for complimentary testing. How often you should perform these accuracy tests depends on many factors, but in general, once a year should be sufficient. Mercurial sphygs utilize gravity and contain no moving parts other than the mercury itself. As a result, there is nothing to wear out. A properly designed mercury manometer will be in calibration as long as the meniscus (top of the mercury column) rests within 3mmHg of the zero point with no pressure applied (inflation system should be detached since it might contain residual air). Mercury units do require some maintenance to remain in tip-top shape. Since mercury will evaporate, a small amount might need to be added to the instrument from time to time. Additionally, mercury will oxidize, leaving a residual gray deposit on the inside of the cartridge tube. This should be swabbed away using alcohol applied to a pipe cleaner. Once a year or so, the damping filters and diaphragm located in the top cap above the cartridge tube should be replaced. ADC provides self maintenance manuals with every mercury unit purchased. Of course, we will perform complimentary maintenance on any ADC mercurial manometer returned to our repair facility. By law, both instruments must initially be within 3mmHg of a reference standard. However, because aneroid gauges rely on gears and mechanical linkages, mercury instruments will likely REMAIN accurate for a longer period of time. However, there is a trade-off; mercury instruments are generally not as portable and necessitate the use of 99.9999% pure elemental mercury, which is being banned by more and more municipalities and states. It depends on the manufacturer. In our case, it indicates that the gauge has been produced and tested to meet the U.S. Accuracy Standard of +/- 3 mmHg. This certification is our pledge and your guarantee for an accurate reading. ADC's 804 series gauge uses a quick release luer slip connector designed to allow rapid selection of the appropriate cuff. To attach, push and twist the tube connector into the gauge air inlet. When properly attached, less than 1/16\" of the connector should show and the tubing should remain secure even under the harshest conditions. Do not force as it may be difficult to separate the connector from the port. Latex sensitivity is a serious problem for both patients and healthcare workers. It is estimated that 7% of the general population and up to 17% of healthcare workers are latex sensitive, with reactions ranging from mild skin irritation to anaphylactic shock. ALL ADC products are 100% LATEX-FREE. In the past, there were just three components on a sphygmomanometer that were traditionally made from latex - the inflation bladder (contained inside the cuff), the inflation bulb and the coiled tubing (used on some models). All other components of a blood pressure instrument were always latex-free. ADC listened to the emerging needs of the market and has produced a comprehensive line of latex-free sphygmomanometers and accessories, eliminating latex entirely from our sphygmomanometer line. The bladder, bulb and coiled tubing are made from PVC, TPE, TPU, and other synthetic materials that share the performance characteristics of latex without the risk to latex sensitive practitioners or patients. We produce over 200 different latex-free blood pressure instruments and replacement parts. Very. Incorrect sizing could lead to measurement error when the mis-sized cuff fails to properly compress the brachial artery. Cuff size is determined by the size of the bladder, also known as the inflation bag. According to AHA and ANSI standards, the bladder should measure at least 80% of the intended limb circumference in length. The bladder width should measure at least 40% of its length. The cuff itself should then be designed AND marked to encourage or even restrict use to the limb circumference established by its bladder. ADC manufacturers 6 standard series cuff sizes designed to accommodate limbs from about 3.5 in (9 cm) to 25.9 in (66 cm), all with overlapping ranges. Our Size Guide™ Marking System helps prevent mis-cuffing. Most manufacturers utilize a generic size naming system - such as newborn, adult, child, etc. Since there are no standards to define the specific limb range for a particular generic size, some manufacturers, including ADC, also indicate the specific limb range in centimeters right on the cuff. ADC also produces single patient use (spu) cuffs in a neonatal series designed to accommodate limbs from 1.18 in to 15.75 in (3cm to 40cm). ADCUFF™ is the trademarked name for ADC's line of professional blood pressure cuffs, inflation bladders, and SPU (single patient use) cuffs. The ADCUFF™ was carefully designed to balance the requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060 and AHA recommendations while combining the real-world needs of our customers. Bladders are designed to encircle a minimum of 80% of the maximum limb circumference for which they were intended in order to ensure proper compression of the brachial (or femoral) artery. Bladder width is no less than 40% of bladder length. Bladders are made from latex-free PVC. Each is marked with our part number and its size name to facilitate identification and re-order. Our proprietary convertible bladder can be used with both single and double tube systems. Fabricated from 210 denier nylon in a large array of colors - durable but comfortable. Sewn with 11 threads per inch. Hook and loop adhesive designed to withstand a minimum of 30,000 open close cycles (many low priced imports use inferior adhesive that wears quickly). Size icon system simplifies rapid visual identification of size. Size Guide System™ marking system. Indicates applicable limb range and warns if larger or smaller cuff is needed. \"Property of\" tag facilitates marking for better stock control. Incorrect cuff sizing can greatly affect the accuracy of blood pressure measurement. Too small a cuff will cause an overestimation of blood pressure, and too large a cuff an underestimation. Multicuff kits are blood pressure instruments that contain more than one cuff size. ADC's various multicuff kits contain from 3 to 5 cuffs (with limb ranges from 3.5cm to 66cm) packaged in a variety of carry cases and stands that allow rapid selection of the most appropriate cuff. A few manufacturers produce so called \"adjustable\" gauges. These gauges permit the indicator needle to be re-set to the zero point using a conventional jeweler's screwdriver inserted into the air inlet at the base of the gauge. ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060 prohibits the manufacture of any instrument with an adjustable dial, except by use of a specialized tool. We hardly think a jeweler's screwdriver available from virtually any hardware store qualifies as a \"specialized\" tool. Whether or not they are legal, we feel adjustable gauges can be dangerous! Although re-setting of the indicator needle to zero will occasionally re-calibrate a gauge, it often will not. The only way to ensure proper calibration, once adjusted, is to bench test the instrument at a variety of points on the dial against a unit of known accuracy. There is a strong tendency to skip this CRITICAL step when gauges are adjusted in the field since it is time consuming and inconvenient (not to mention tough to find a unit of known accuracy in the field). Since ADC provides free recalibration for a minimum of 5 years to as long as a lifetime, (depending on model) we suggest you let us perform this complimentary service. It is often difficult to tell the difference between competing brands of blood pressure instruments. With retail prices from as little as $10 to nearly $250 for a basic pocket aneroid, and appearances so similar, it can be tempting to select the least expensive brands. Today, most blood pressure instruments are completely manufactured in China or Indonesia by firms with no formal affiliation with their U.S. distributors. In fact, many U.S. importers change suppliers every six months in response to lower prices from competing foreign manufacturers. That results in products of questionable quality and virtually no consistency. Only a handful of manufacturers still produce their products in the U.S.A. Components for ADC's blood pressure instruments are produced exclusively for ADC by some of the world's most experienced ISO 9000 subcontractors under long term contract. In addition, ADC employs a rigorous QC process using proprietary test equipment, prior to final assembly in the U.S.A., to ensure strict compliance to ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060 standards OR better. ADC produces pocket aneroids with an MSRP from $20 to $60, palm and multicuff aneroids from $90 to $200, clock aneroids from $100 to $200, and mercury sphygs from $70 to $200. Each and every one is subjected to dozens of inspections prior to final assembly in the U.S.A. A sphygmomanometer is both a vital instrument for the measurement of a critical vital sign and a long term investment. Choose the model that makes the most sense for your requirements and budget as much as you can afford. Then select the ADC model that best fits your needs. The AHA recommends a deflation rate of 2 - 3mmHg per second. During routine measurement, the system is typically inflated to about 180mmHg and deflated to about 60mmHg. That’s a range of about 120mmHg (the actual range is determined by the patient's expected blood pressure). At a deflation rate of 2-3mmHg/sec, it should take 40 to 60 seconds to deflate the cuff correctly. Excessive deflation rates are one of the most common causes of measurement error - often distorting readings by 10mmHg to as much as 20mmHg. When the deflation rate is too quick, the observer's reaction time - much slower than the rapid deflation rate - may result in gross underestimation of blood pressure. On the other hand, because of a phenomenon known as mercury lag, excessive deflation COULD result in an overestimation of blood pressure when measured on a mercurial sphyg. It is critical. When the inside bore is too narrow two problems can result; mercury lag and mercury separation. Mercury lag is the phenomenon that occurs when the air deflates from the cuff faster than the mercury column can respond. When the forces of friction (of the mercury against the inner walls of the cartridge tube) that prevent the mercury from dropping exceed the gravitational forces, this causes the mercury to drop and results in mercury lag. That same friction can actually cause the column of liquid mercury to split - forcing an air pocket that will distort readings. This is known as mercury separation. If new, the unit must be within 3mmHg when tested against a reference instrument in order to meet ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060 standards. ADC's PROSPHYG series instruments will always meet or exceed these standards. ADC's DIAGNOSTIX series manometers exceed these standards by as much as 66%. ADC DIAGNOSTIX brand mercury manometers are guaranteed to be within 1mmHg over their full range, while the DIAGNOSTIX brand aneroid manometers are guaranteed within 2mmHg when NEW. Although most low cost imports will meet the +/-3mmHg standards most of the time, the difference between ADC brand instruments and those low cost models is often how well they will hold up under real world use. ADC manometers are designed to withstand the rigors of YOUR job. Superior materials, old world craftsmanship, the pre-aging of our aneroid movements, and use of mercury cartridge tubes with 25% larger 5mm inside bores ensure that your instrument will provide dependable service day in and day out. Simply put, they will generally stay accurate for a longer period of time! Guaranteed. The only way to be 100% sure is to connect the manometer in series to an instrument of known accuracy and test during deflation at a variety of pressures (i.e. 300, 260, 180, 120, 60, etc.) When testing your sphygmomanometer, it is important that you check the accuracy in accordance with national or international standards that may be applicable to your device. For devices manufactured and sold within the US, the European Union and other international destinations, the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060 standard entitled Non-invasive sphygmomanometers — Part 1: Requirements and test methods for non-automated measurement type is applicable. Click here to link to the section within our site that describes testing techniques in greater detail. Although properly designed mercurial instruments are required to provide a full pressure drop (300 mmHg to 20 mmHg with no back pressure) in 3 seconds, older instruments tend to slow down due to build up of dust or other obstructions within the system. This slow down will produce a lag - the air will release from the cuff FASTER than the mercury can drop in the column. In addition, some manufacturers whose cartridge tubes have a narrow inside bore (generally less than the mandated 3.9 mm dimension) will always suffer from some lag. This lag will generally have no impact on measurements obtained at the recommended deflation rate of 2-3mmHg/second. However, when the deflation rate is excessive, the lag can have a dramatic impact on accuracy resulting in an overestimation of pressure. This condition will generally only occur on older latex style blood pressure devices. The phenomenon, known as frosting, is a chemical reaction caused by the exposure of latex to the ozone. Fluorescent lighting can exacerbate the problem. When properly cured during the manufacturing process latex should not frost. However, it can be difficult to determine optimal curing times which are dependent on ambient temperature, humidity, and the water content of the liquid latex. Although unsightly, frosting will not impact on the performance or durability of the latex components. Our current line of latex-free blood pressure cuffs will not frost. Although unlikely to occur with an ADC DIAGNOSTIX mercury sphyg, it can happen. ADC mercury sphygs hold just 2 oz of 99.9999% pure elemental mercury and can easily be contained with a mercury spill kit available through ADC or most laboratory and safety supply dealers. A mercury spill kit should be kept on the premises WHEREVER mercury instruments are used. Never use vacuums which may disperse mercury vapor. Always wear gloves and dispose of contained mercury in accordance with local regulations. If the air valve appears to be free of obstructions and you have not used your blood pressure cuff for some time, it is likely that the ‘slit stopper’ has become bound. In order to clear this problem, ensure that the air valve is properly attached to the bulb and valve assembly. (Note: It is recommended that your bulb and valve not be connected to the rest of your blood pressure device while correcting this problem.) Take the bulb and valve assembly in both hands and (with the valve CLOSED) quickly apply swift and rapid pressure to the bulb. This will force air into the valve at high pressure and cause the slit stopper to ‘pop’ open again. Once this type of jam has been cleared, it is unlikely that it will occur again unless your blood pressure device is left unused for an extended period of time. Yes. But ONLY the names. In August 2011, we re-engineered our ADCUFFs – the worlds most feature rich, traditionally bladdered cuffs. The most noticeable change was the elimination of Latex from all models (we had previously offered our ADCUFFs in both latex or latex-free options). Another change was to follow the cuff naming nomenclature employed in the acute care (hospital) sector to ensure greater naming consistency. The applicable limb ranges weren’t changed – only SOME of the names we used to describe them were changed. Below is the conversion chart. Depends on your needs. If you’re required to keep a full assortment of what are traditionally referred to as pediatric cuffs, you’ll probably want our 4 cuff system. That includes child and small adult for pediatric and smaller adult patients, and adult and large adult for larger patients. In the 4 cuff system you’ll be able to measure bp on patients with limbs from 13-50cm. Some prefer the larger 5 cuff system which includes the thigh cuff and increases the range up to 66cm."

"question": "Yes, our 705PMK-???",
"answer": "It includes the infant, child and small adult cuffs accommodating limbs from 9-27cm. You can always purchase the components separately and build the unit yourself. Our 8814 multicuff carry case allows you to customize the pocket names yourself and comes with a full set of name tags (and blanks) you can use. There are a number of things that could be causing you to get higher values. It is possible the blood pressure of the person being measured, is, in fact, higher than believed. Blood pressure is a very dynamic vital sign and responds quickly to both physiological and psychological stimuli. Changes of 40mmHg or more on systolic values are quite common. Make sure the patient has rested for at least 2-3 minutes before taking their BP. Second, make sure you are using an appropriately sized cuff. If the cuff is too small for the patient, you could get elevated readings – in some cases significantly elevated readings. Third, make sure the manometer is accurate. If the needle rests outside the oval with the unit fully deflated, it is most definitely in need of calibration. However, even if the needle is inside the oval, it is possible for the unit to be out of calibration. Follow this link for the procedures on checking calibration. Finally, make sure you are following proper measurement technique. In manual measurement, technique is as important, if not more important than the instrument itself. Yes, these smaller cuffs are easily over-inflated. With smaller cuffs the cuff can inflate to over 300mmHg with just one or two full compressions of the bulb. To prevent discomfort or even injury to the patient and damage to the instrument, bulb should only be partially squeezed, so that each compression inflates the cuff in 40mmHg to 60mmHg increments until inflated to the desired pressure. It is very important. In general, a patient should be seated comfortably with their back and arm supported. Patients should sit with their feet flat on the floor and their legs uncrossed. When patients are supine, blood pressure measurements can vary 5-8 mmHg and this variation can increase if the arm is not supported to ensure that the cuff is at heart level. Similar variations can occur if the patient’s back or arm is unsupported, or if they are not seated correctly. Palm gauges are often subjected to some of the harshest treatment as they are designed to be transported and may be used outdoors or in rough environments. In order to increase the durability of these gauges, we have redesigned the connector with a larger barb and have altered the connector port on the palm gauge to accommodate this new connector. The larger connector ensures a firm connection, reduces the likelihood of the gauge being damaged if it is dropped or subjected to shock/vibration, and is a unique shape that is not cross-compatible with other medical equipment. The newer connector is NOT compatible with older palm series gauges. All palm style gauges manufactured and shipped after November 2015 will have the updated, more robust connector. We have updated the part numbers for these connectors as well as the markings on the gauge itself to allow for easy identification. For the part numbers for both the older and newer style connectors and gauges contact our Customer Service department at 1-800-ADC-2670. Yes, we will still honor the warranty on our older 804 palm gauges and have replacement parts available for your gauge. Contact our Customer Service line toll free at 1-800-ADC-2670 and we will be happy to assist you with your gauge. A variety of reasons. First of all, blood pressure itself is a dynamic rather than static vital sign. Both systolic and diastolic pressures can vary from 10mmHg to 20mmHg or more throughout the course of the day. In some people, a lot more than that. BP is generally lower in the morning and increases throughout the day. Eating, drinking, smoking, exercise and even talking all influence blood pressure. Instrument repeatability will also result in measurement variance. As an example, if the instrument has a stated tolerance of 3% and you measured your blood pressure at the morning when it was 120/70 and the evening when it was 130/80, the instrument might read 115/68 for the morning read, and 135/83 for the evening read. The initial impression is that the pressure varied by nearly 20mmHg when in fact, part of the variance was due to normal fluctuations in BP, and in part was due the tolerances of the instrument. For best results, you should measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, preferably first thing every morning. If time permits, take three readings, each 1-2 minutes apart. If any one reading looks out of line, discard it. Otherwise average the results and record the average of the three (or two if one was discarded). Doing this will smooth out the readings and produce more consistent and meaningful results. Our 6016, 6022 and 6023 monitors feature an average mode setting that will automatically display the average of three successive readings. ADC digital sphygs have a pressure sensor self test that is activated each time you power on the instrument. If the microprocessor detects anything wrong with either the pressure sensor or the chip that analyzes the readings, an error message will be displayed BEFORE measurement. If the unit beeps and displays 0, you can be confident in the instrument's accuracy. Tough question! When measured by a trained professional, following AHA recommendations for blood pressure measurement, a manual instrument will produce very accurate results. Today, home digital BP monitors are VERY accurate, but they do have limitations. Because the algorithms used to calculate blood pressure are based on a limited number of clinical observations, there are people for whom digital units simply will not work. Severely obese patients, those with advanced arthrosclerosis, severe diabetics, or those with a difficult to detect pulse are not good candidates for digital monitors. Wrist models, while the MOST convenient to use, and extremely portable, are often held either above or below heart level resulting in readings of questionable accuracy. All things considered, we recommend an arm or wrist based automatic blood pressure instrument. Depending on the model you have purchased, your home BP monitor will allow you to store a set number of readings. For our single-user models including the 6021 series, once you have reached the maximum number of readings that can be stored on your monitor, a ‘FULL’ message will display onscreen to indicate that the monitor’s memory is full. When this happens, taking additional readings will begin to overwrite older readings stored in memory. Refer to the instructions provided with your monitor for information on how you may clear your monitor’s memory or delete readings to free up space for new readings to eliminate this message. In order to obtain comparable readings, you should take your blood pressure at the same time each day. We recommend that you take readings when first rising in the morning, unless otherwise recommended by your physician. Arm positioning is very important; your blood pressure cuff should be at heart level, and you should support your arm on an armrest that will hold the cuff in position. When using a wrist model, care should be taken to place your wrist on an armrest or other support at heart level. You should not take measurements immediately after exercise, after consuming food/drink, or after consuming alcohol or nicotine. These factors can affect blood pressure measurements and lead to inaccurate readings. You should not talk while taking your blood pressure, as this can create sound artifacts that may impact your reading. Even just the effort of speaking will elevate blood pressure. It is recommended that you take your blood pressure on your left arm where possible. Measurements on your right arm and your left arm may not necessarily always correspond with one another and comparing readings from different arms is not recommended. Always take your blood pressure on the same arm when possible. You should sit with your back and arm supported in a comfortable position and with your legs uncrossed when taking your blood pressure. Note that lying down while taking your blood pressure can greatly impact the measurement results and it is recommended that you remain sitting upright where possible for all measurements. Where possible take multiple readings and average them. If you have an Advantage monitor with MAM technology, we recommend using the multiple reading mode. Allow one minute of rest between measurements. Yes. In general you should take your blood pressure on your left arm. If you are unable to take your blood pressure on your left arm, you may take it on your right arm instead but you should be aware that there may be differences between your right and left arms. In some patients the differences can be as much as 10 mmHg or more. It is not recommended that you compare readings between both arms if you have taken multiple readings on both, as the results may vary due to the differences between the two arms. White-coat hypertension is a phenomenon where patients tend to have higher blood pressure in the presence of health care workers and particularly physicians. In some patients it may be necessary to measure blood pressure at home to determine whether or not there is true hypertension or if the presence of health care workers is affecting the readings being recorded. It is important to note that there are a variety of other reasons for home blood pressure measurement and being asked to record your readings at home may be an important part of your treatment. Core body temperature most closely approximates the temperature obtained through rectal measurement. Oral temperatures will generally run 1 degree lower than rectal temperatures. Axillary (under the arm) temperatures will generally run 1 degree below oral (2 below rectal). Remember, 98.6 is an average of the patient population. Your average body temperature might vary by up to 2 degrees from that. And while not as volatile as blood pressure, your temperature will vary throughout the day. It is important to fully insert the thermometer into the sheath such that the thermometer’s probe TIP is within roughly 1mm of the sheath end. If too large a gap is left the sheath will fold over the tip which may result in puncture. Make sure the top cover is removed first, then the bottom cover. On flexible tip thermometers it is helpful to hold the thermometer a bit closer to the probe end to minimize flex when peeling off the top and bottom paper covers. Click on the attached link to view a video demonstrating the proper technique. There are two advantages; performance and safety. Fiber optic laryngoscopes provide a brighter, whiter light permitting better view and observation during intubation. Because the light source is contained in the battery handle, they are cooler, reducing the risk of patient injury. The answer to both is a qualified yes! ADC blades and handles conform to ISO 7376 and ASTM F965. ADC blades and handles will be compatible with any manufacturer's brand that conforms to these standards. However, standard illumination components are not compatible with fiber optic components and visa-versa. The answer to this question depends on the application. EMS professionals seem to prefer Macintosh while Anesthesiologists tend to prefer Miller. No, but they are able to be sterilized. All laryngoscope blades and laryngoscope sets are supplied with complete instructions for use that outline the sterilization processes available. Refer to the specific product page that you are interested in, on our website, and download a free copy of the instructions for use which detail this information. Important note: The sterilization methods outlined in the accompanying instructions for use are the methods specifically validated for ADC products. Other methods may exist which will adequately sterilize the blades, but may reduce the lifespan of your devices. For specific sterilization questions or for questions, relating to the use of non-recommended products on ADC blades and handles, consult with the manufacturer of the sterilization equipment and supplies. The answer to this question depends upon the application. For basic reflex assessment, the Taylor hammer is the most popular. The pointed end of the handle can be used to elicit cutaneous reflexes, and the triangular rubber head is used for testing joint reflexes and bone fractures. The Wartenberg Pinwheel tests nerve reactions as it glides across the skin. It is designed for evaluation of cutaneous sensory and pain perception. The Babinski Hammer is designed for testing reflexes and is equipped with a pointed needle in the handle and a rubber head for reflex reaction. The Buck Hammer is used for cutaneous sensation evaluation, testing reflexes, and measuring nerve sensitivity. The Buck Hammer also has a needle in its head, and a brush in its handle. Tuning forks are used to conduct hearing and neurological vibratory tests. The C128 and C256 forks are generally used for the neurological tests, while hearing tests are often conducted using the higher frequency forks. As the frequency decreases, the tuning fork's arms must be increased in length. In order to keep the size of the instrument manageable, weights are added to the C128 and C256 frequencies. Without them, these two models would have to be considerably larger. The model for each tuning fork represents the vibrational frequency measured in cycles per second (cps) or Hertz. For example, the C128 vibrates at 128 Hertz or 128 cycles per second. ADC’s tuning forks are American made to the highest medical grade standards and accurate to within 5% of the rated frequency. The best way to activate the fork is by striking it firmly (but not with too much force) on a rigid surface. Snapping the tips of the fork prongs together with the fingers will also start them vibrating but probably at a lower volume. Striking the fork against the palm of the hand or any padded surface will dampen vibrations and is not recommended. Tuning forks of various frequencies can be used to test for pallesthesia as well as hearing disorders through the Weber and Rinne tests. This type of testing generally involves selecting a specific frequency of tuning fork (dependent upon the type of test being conducted) and activating it over bone or near the ear canal. ADC offers tuning forks in an assortment of frequencies to provide you with all of the tools you might need to conduct these types of tests. Testing for pallesthesia or vibratory sensation can be accomplished through the use of a tuning fork calibrated to a frequency of 128 Hz. Our model number 500128 will provide the appropriate frequency to allow for this type of testing anywhere on the body. The Weber test is generally conducted using a tuning fork with a frequency of 256 Hz. Our model number 500256 will provide the appropriate frequency for this type of test. Activate the tuning fork (as described further in this FAQ) and place the base of the tuning fork over thin skin that is in contact with bone, equidistant from both ears to perform the test. The Rinne test requires a tuning fork with a frequency of 256 Hz, and our model number 500256 is recommended for this type of test. As with the Weber test, the tuning fork is activated and in the case of the Rinne test the handle is placed behind each ear and then held next to the ear to allow the patient to determine how the sounds were transmitted during the test. To activate your tuning fork, hold it as close as possible to the end of the handle. For best results, strike the tuning fork gently against a hard surface near where the tines end. Note that you do not need to strike the tuning fork very hard against an object to activate it. Alternately, you can activate the forks by ‘snapping’ the tines of the forks. Place your thumb and index finger on the outside of each fork and then slide your fingers off the tip of each tine while moving them towards each other, as if you were snapping. This motion will set the tines to vibrating. Touching and holding the tines of the tuning fork while it is activated will cancel out the vibrations in the tines and silence your tuning fork."

"question": "How will the Enterprise System eliminate channel conflict?",
"answer": "You can now use the ultimate online point-of-sale system to motivate your loan originators. This is an excellent tool to enhance originator retention. In today's tech savvy mortgage market, originators expect more from their organization. It's an exciting way to grow your business and eliminate the channel conflict created through a \"top down\" approach to corporate web design that separates online origination from traditional origination opportunities for example: Many companies offer an application on their website and simple hand out leads to their loan officers in a round robin approach. This creates a problem! Loan officers will rely on you to market the company website because they will not want to spend money on marketing that might direct their borrowers to another loan officer. However If the loan officer is provided their own Virtual Lender® System that can be accessed from the company site as well as directly they can independently market it knowing that the traffic being sent to it will stay with the loan officer. Right now if you have a company website promoting a single application your website is limited to the marketing you do to promote it. If you have a Virtual Lender® Enterprise System it is like recruiting every loan officer to take a personal interest in your web platform and spend resources on driving borrowers to your company for loan services. Yes! The Enterprise Pipeline Manager will provide you instant access to the individual pipelines of your loan originators associated with the Virtual Lender® Enterprise System. Your Enterprise Content Manager is design to allow you the freedom to create or edit content of a specific page then LOCK the content so as to not allow your loan officers the rights to change the content. Many larger organizations are concerned about misrepresentation or compliance with regard to Loan Officer websites. The Virtual Lender® Enterprise Content manager eliminates this problem by providing management a utility to control the content published out to the loan officer website. Each Loan Originator in your company may set up their own individual Virtual Lender® website within your Enterprise environment and their personal website will automatically be built with your company quality control standards that you have set up within your Group Control Center . They will have the flexibility of a fully functional feature rich web site branded to your company content standards. Yes!

"question": "Wondering how to get that first Banshee down on Assault on the Control Room?",
"answer": "Here's a pictorial walkthrough! The bases on Blood Gulch have trees out in front - Tom and friends managed to put a body or two (breathing, and not) up in the branches. Not bad! Another one from Mark - this time it's a 4.7 meg, 1-minute movie showing how to get to the top of 343 Guilty Spark by using the dropship. You also get a good view of the 2D trees, and Mendoza (before Mark so callously beats him to death). Check it out! Floating jeeps, and a Scorpion up pretty high... Sidewinder gets some flying vehicles! Another technique for climbing out of the Blood Gulch gravity well... this one involves some tank fire and careful timing, but the results are worth it. Team 7HR33 turns in a nice little movie showing how to DESCEND from the top of Silent Cartographer... with s7yle. A collection of breathtaking views from the upper reaches of Silent Cartographer... and a 100-second movie showing EXACTLY how to get up there. Cal's back, this time with some shots from the top of Damnation."
},
{
"question": "Wouldn't you like to know how to get up to those sniper spots?",
"answer": "Phear X turns in a nifty little demo of how to get to a precarious but sneaky sniper perch on Sidewinder. Pics for the bandwidth-impaired, a movie (not local to HBO) for those who can handle it. Step-by-step instructions for getting to the towering rock outcrop on Blood Gulch - no rockets or tanks needed! In answer to EGM's challenge (putting all the vehicles inside a Blood Gulch base), Cal has created this series - yes, he managed to get BOTH tanks in there. Check the last pic - the Halo physics engine WILL complain if you push it too hard. Insanity sets in, as Aaron decides to collect as many vehicles as possible in one location. Current count is 30, though a perusal of our forum would suggest that this is only a prelimnary total - now that he's shown folks what to do, the REAL limits will be examined. Doum and Pat have put together a series of films showing how to get off the first bridge in 'Assault on the Control Room', in coop mode... and make it down alive. How to get to the top of Silent Cartographer (without explosives), plus some explosive-aided shots. Getting to the top of Truth and Reconciliation... with the help of a Shade. Another vehicle collection (and the process of making it), with a few side tidbits. Wow -actually riding the second pelican on Assault on the Control Room! Someone else puts a Scorpion on end... pretty funny to see! One of the coolest films to come along - this shows, among other things, how to build up a pile of explosives (in SP mode), how to get hangtime on a jeep, and how to make people laugh themselves silly. 4 Ghosts and 2 Warthogs, stuffed onto the second floor of a Sidewinder base - with some fun 'getting-stuck-in-ladderwells' action! Completely OUT of the map Halo - as far as I know, this hasn't been done yet. (On top of some of the hills, yes - but not into the untextured areas.) These guys have pushed the engine to its limits; all motion stops up here. Squeezin' a hog down to the map room... you get some pretty bizarre views on the way down! More pictures from the Map Room of Silent Cartographer... but this time, there are some jeep antics going on! A pictoral essay showing how to get to the waterfall on Halo... and a study of a very intriguing mystery. Two forum regulars team up to get to the top of Keyes... and melee the Truth and Reconciliation! Touching the ceiling of Keyes... that's some pretty impressive jumping! The first submitted pics of a Banshee inside the initial shaft of Attack on the Control Room. Nice! Fun and games with a reproducible glitch in Halo, from a variety of sources! On Halo, there are three mysterious beams of blue energy that fire into the sky. Two are harmless. One's... not. Legolas described this descent (the first into the SECOND of the two shafts on Silent Cartographer), and Frogblast and Grimace documented it with pics and movies. Another unexpected pelican ride... and the answer to where a scenery piece comes from. Eleet Ops Faction turned in a One-Shot showing an Outside Maw exploration. Someone asked \"how?\" Frogblast and Grimace happily experimented, showing some nice Sentinel Surfing along the way. Grenade plus Elevator equals weird physics! Once again, Metafire (aka Frogblast) shows that taking a Halo glitch and pushing it to its limits can provide hours of entertainment."

An almost-frozen elite... and a bizarre closed Banshee. Wonga. Up on top of Halo - in an area not yet documented. Nice sniping! Looking DOWN on the Truth and Reconciliation... or what there is of it. The emperor has no clothes! We've seen vehicles on their noses before... but never on THIS level. brad found an interesting little glitch which easily provides you unlimited ammo on the weapon of your choice... with a few restrictions. Whoa - a way to get completely OUT of Keyes... in a super-fast Banshee, to boot. We've seen pictures from below the Light Bridge on Halo before (check the One-Shots section), but now you can see how it was done - with a slick little vid and some step-by-step instructions. Goodness - the first step to getting to the bridge of the Pillar of Autumn... from the OUTSIDE."

A bunch of oddities on Halo - Light Bridge stuff, lots of warthogs, falling off the map. Using a Warthog to get to the bottom of the Maw Gap area. That teleporter glow actually flakes off! More of a tip than a trick... but you can see some good sniping areas on Battle Creek, and some of them require some tricky access. An uber-cool glitch discovered on Silent Cartographer - those marines will get in that Warthog, even if it means flying! A trick that's been mentioned before... but it's never been filmed, and it's pretty cool! Stacking up marines is a good way to reach high places. Not unknown... but unsubmitted, until now! Warbow went down... RonDay went UP! Checking out the light fixtures in the Maw. Above the first waterfall on Halo - some truly lovely views. A Warthog, sitting on the LOWER bridge at the start of Halo."

Plenty of people have flown around the Control Room in a Banshee... but nobody's sent us pics of places you can get out before. If you return to the Light Bridge after you've crossed it, you'll find it off... that didn't stop these guys. Inspired by a forum post, Bonk shows, step by step, how to get off the map on Sidewinder - with one man, one Ghost, and no explosives. How to get through the locked door on Silent Cartographer... and much more. Bonus movies! An amazing glitch - in this particular circumstance, it is possible (nay, simple, if you know what you're doing) to get three weapons simultaneously on Pillar of Autumn. Full instructions inside. A tiny movie (243k) showing a strange little glitch - one of the sentinels seems to have gotten a flea under its collar. LeAtHeRnEcK can be found in our Fan Fiction section, as well. Movie is in .wmv format. Another example (the last, I think, that we'll post) of the 'Blood Vent' phenomenon - when these metal walls are shot, in the right circumstances the residue can look like blood. Doum and Pat showed how to get down from the first bridge back in February - but we've had trouble keeping their movies viewable. Kuaidang has made a much more concise one (though he does die a few times trying to make that last jump), showing a different descent - hit it right, and you're enemy-free for the rest of the level. .wmv format, zipped, 3 mb. If you descend from the first Bridge, you run the risk of hitting a locked door in the next bridge section - Kuaidang shows you a quick and easy way around the problem. .wmv format, zipped, 2.1 mb. Standing on top of the Tower in Blood Gulch - folks have been at its base for months, but i've never seen a pic from the top. Take out that Elite Wraith driver... BEFORE he gets in and starts shooting! Slow down the action on Halo to a frame-by-frame speed... find the Hippo! Haunted sounds... but you need to find a quiet spot."
},
{
"question": "What happens when you kill MC, just as you're entering a cutscene?",
"answer": "Weird stuff. Lots of people have gotten out of Blood Gulch... but most have used explosives. Not Geeoff! A warthog in the tower... a warthog ON the tower. And a nice little movie showing how to get one there. A glitch with some SERIOUS multiplayer potential - how to rocketjump (or grenadejump) but take ZERO damage. Climbing down from that first bridge in AotCR."
},
{
"question": "Been there, done that, right?",
"answer": "Not like this. Solo, no explosives. Elegant. Filmed on Hang 'em High... but relevant EVERYWHERE."
},
{
"question": "Need an extra little 'oomph' when you're trying to jump?",
"answer": "Here you go. Finally - completely off the map on Battle Creek! It had to happen... these guys got some nice views! Lots of people have played up in Blood Gulch's Tower - and a little bit above it. Now the entire top has been mapped! These guys took some gorgeous pics... and plotted out the highest point on Blood Gulch. An exploit of a recent trick can put you in a nice little hidey-hole, perfectly set up for some easy rocket kills. Getting back to the first half of Halo... AFTER the light bridge has disappeared. WITH a 'hog. An exploration of a glitch whose consequences range from novelties to the seriously practical. Three tricks in one! A pretty cool implementation of a previously-discovered trick... we could map with this! The easiest way, by far, out of a level. Astounding what you can do with some patience, and care... the mapmaking limits of Silent Cartographer have been probed. I'm STILL looking for Snuffy each time I see this. Jerry Lee Lewis woulda LOVED this trick."

{
"question": "Looking for a weapons/vehicles-free method of getting to the top of Silent Cartographer?",
"answer": "Look no further! If you're trying a timed run of the Library, this tip might actually save you a little time. On TOP of Keyes... with some great pics. How far can you go in a vehicle..."
},
{
"question": "WITHOUT explosives?",
"answer": "Older tricks showed some footage from the top of Battle Creek - this trick shows you how to get there yourself. Nobody's ever BYPASSED a loading point before - coop players on both sides of one... plus some pretty cool xray views of Silent Cartographer. Turns out you can put a grenade out, like a cigarette... weird. Clipping again - this time, someone's inside a VEHICLE, not a wall. Not practical, but you can get some pretty nice closeups. Turn a grunt the wrong way, and he'll change his medium... sort of. Yet another way Off the Map in Blood Gulch - takes a Ghost and nothing else, and it hasn't been documented yet. This sort of skill deserves recognition. A series of movies, showing (concisely) how to get to the area of Halo overlooking the initial escape pod (on both sides). Contains very good info for those trying later tricks, like Frogblast's Bottom of Halo stuff (not posted here yet). One last 'frozen stuff' stunt. Yes, the category is closed. I just found this hilarious. A bizarre collision detection glitch. Not sure how this is useful... but it's pretty funny to see! Sometimes, when you bring things to places Bungie never expected them to be, you discover attributes that you never thought characters had."

"question": "Are fixed-line of aim, fractional-ball aiming systems useful?",
"answer": "and in part 2 of NV B.3 – Mike Page’s aiming video (part 1, part 2). For more info, see: “HAPS – Part I: Fractional-Ball Aiming” (BD, November, 2014). The illustration below (from Patrick Johnson) shows the approximate cut angles for all standard ball-hit fractions. For more information on how ball-hit-fraction is related to cut angle, see the ball-hit fraction vs. cut angle resource page. TP A.23 – Ball-hit fraction vs. cut angle shows equations and plots for all ball-hit fractions and cut angles. See estimating cut angles and below for other methods to visualize fractional-ball cut angles. Various aiming systems (even though they are not perfect) do help some people aim, concentrate, focus on the OB, stay down, and shoot better. I don’t think anybody (even me) would say that is a bad thing. On the other hand, people should realize that fixed-point aiming systems with a limited number of aiming lines are not perfect and will cause you to miss shots if you don’t compensate (consciously or subconsciously). The common fractional-ball aiming system, sometimes referred to as Hal Houle’s 3-angle system. Basically, the claim is there are only three different aims for all cut shots: a “15° cut,” a “30° cut,” and a “45° cut.” In TP A.11, I show that these aims are equivalent to 3/4-, 1/2-, and 1/4-ball-hits and the 15- and 45° angles are not exact. Also, I show an example shot “in between” two of the aim references to show a deficiency of the method. The method provides easy visual aiming, and it helps a player establish good reference aims for different ranges of cut shots; but for “in-between” cut angles, one must adjust or compensate between the aim references. Fractional-ball aiming references (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4), on either the CB or OB, can be useful to help some people aim because the references are easy to visualize. However any system that offers only a limited number of lines of aim from which to choose can be limiting if the user isn’t good at adjusting for the many shots that fall between these references. For more info, see: limited lines or alignments of aim. Also, any “aiming system” can offer a person benefits, especially a person that doesn’t aim accurately or consistently. To use Fractions for aiming you need to get familiar with (learn to visualize at the table) the cut angles formed by the three common fractional overlaps: 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 ball. To help with that, here’s a practice setup diagram of the fractional cut angles (left and right) for shots parallel with the short and long rails. Your hand can be a useful guide for estimating the cut angles made by fractional CB/OB overlaps. Just spread your fingers as far as possible so the thumb and little finger form a 90° angle, and your other three fingers space themselves more of less naturally on the three major fractional cut angles (roughly 15, 30, and 45° – actual fractional cut angles shown below). To cover the rest of the 90° “aiming field,” cut angles for two more (less frequently used) fractional overlaps are shown in black. Use your other hand to estimate cuts in the other direction. Like all “discrete”, “fractional-ball”, and similar aiming systems, it gets you in the ballpark for most shots and depends upon subconscious correction to make the fine adjustments. In other words, you have to use it as a guide, “take it on faith”, and shoot the shots. For a beginner, it will get them in the ballpark and they’ll accidentally pocket more balls than by winging it. For an intermediate, they may have enough experience that they will subconsciously correct, and the system might work well for them. The expert doesn’t need a system to get them in the ballpark. All discrete systems have the same failing – they are not geometrically correct for all setups. If you claim that there are only a (small) discrete number of aim points required to hit any pocket from any setup, and disallow the subconscious correction factor, all such systems may be easily disproven. In practice, your ability to compensate overcomes the built-in flaws of the system. When cutting to the left for 15°, aim the cue ball’s left edge at the object ball’s left quarter. When cutting to the left for 30°, aim the cue ball’s left edge at the object ball’s center. When you cut to the left for 45 degrees, aim the cue ball’s left edge at the object ball’s right quarter. When you cut to the right for 15°, you aim the cue ball right edge at the object ball’s right quarter. When you cut to the right for 30°, you aim the cue ball’s right edge at the object ball’s center spot. When you cut to the right for 45°, you aim the cue ball’s right edge to the object ball’s left quarter."

"question": "What is the WICHE/WRGP Tuition Waiver?",
"answer": "The state of Washington is a member of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), which is a 15-state commission working to improve access to higher education for students in the western region. The University of Washington’s CoreSLP Master’s program is part of WICHE’s Western Regional Graduate Program that allows out-of-state applicants who are legal residents of one of the WICHE states (AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM, ND, OR, SD, UT, WY) to apply to receive for the resident tuition rate if accepted into the program. See the Tuition and Fees section of the web for more information on the WRGP resident tuition rate option."
},
{
"question": "If out-of-state applicants from the 14 WICHE/WRGP states receive priority during admissions , should I even apply if I am not from one of those states?",
"answer": "Yes! The admissions committee evaluates applications from all students. We strive for student diversity in our program, which includes geographic diversity. All out-of-state students are encouraged to apply."
},
{
"question": "If I previously lived in a non-WICHE state but now currently reside in one of the 14 eligible states for the purpose of attending college, can I apply for the WRGP resident tuition rate?",
"answer": "Not unless you have established legal residency in the state. If you are attending school and paying the non-resident tuition rate and/or still maintain a permanent legal residence in a non-WICHE state, you are ineligible to apply for the WRGP rate. Yes. All UW tuition rates and fees are posted on the Planning and Budgeting website. You can also visit the Tuition and Fees section of our website for full a full breakdown of tuition costs. I am not a Washington resident."
},
{
"question": "Are out-of-state students still eligible for the “Graduate Student Residency Tuition Waiver” at the University of Washington?",
"answer": "No. Between 2005 and 2011, the University of Washington Regents offered non-resident graduate and professional students who had lived in the state for at least one year, an annual waiver of the differential between resident and non-resident tuition. However, any student entering a graduate program as of July 21, 2012 will no longer have access to this waiver. Fortunately, out-of-state students who are applying to the CoreSLP Master of Science program and are residents of AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM, ND, OR, SD, UT or WY can now apply to receive the WRGP resident tuition rate for the first 3 years of the program thanks to our partnership with WICHE."
},
{
"question": "What makes the Core Speech-Language Pathology Program unique?",
"answer": "The Core Speech-Language Pathology program provides opportunities for students to focus their studies through elective coursework reflecting their career and/or research interests. Classroom and clinical experiences enable students to enter a variety of areas of clinical practice including early childhood programs, schools, outpatient clinics, private practices, skilled nursing facilities, and hospitals."
},
{
"question": "How are they similar?",
"answer": "Program emphasis: The Core Speech-Language Pathology program is for students interested in exploring the practice of speech-language pathology across a variety of settings. The Medical Speech-Language Pathology program is designed for students specifically interested in working in the field of medical speech-language pathology, and provides focused coursework and community-based experiences in this area. Program requirements: In the Core Speech-Language Pathology program, students are required to select an “emphasis path” and choose didactic and practicum electives in accordance with the emphasis path. The identified emphasis path also determines the student’s practica plan and scheduling. The Medical Speech-Language Pathology program has a predetermined curriculum structure in terms of coursework and practica. There are no elective coursework options in this graduate program due to its fixed nature. Coursework: During the first year of both graduate programs, students take a similar series of courses to gain a foundation of clinical knowledge that covers the full range of communication sciences and disorders. In the second year, however, Core Speech-Language Pathology students complete their elective coursework while MedSLP students take specialized courses significant to the practice of medical speech pathology. Practica: There are different clinical practicum requirements for each graduate program and different clinical instruction models are employed. Core Speech-Language Pathology students complete the majority of their practicum experiences in the highly supportive context of the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic and then complete one practicum and one internship experience in a community-based setting. Medical Speech-Language Pathology students also spend one year in the highly supportive context of the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic, but the entire second year of the program is spent completing clinical practica and internship rotations across a variety of community-based settings. Regardless of the program, all students learn to assess and treat a variety of communication disorders across the lifespan as required by ASHA and complete a culminating full-time internship at the end of their second year, before beginning a clinical fellowship. The Core Speech-Language Pathology program takes 2 years or 8 quarters to complete if students adhere to the program plan as designed. Typically courses are offered between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Many classes are typically scheduled between 8:30-10:30 and 12:00-2:30 during the week. Faculty provides students with didactic and clinical schedules on a quarterly basis, and the official curriculum is available quarterly on the UW Time Schedule. Ultimately, though, all classes are scheduled around the needs of clinical practicum and placements. Prospective students should be aware that some required courses may need to be offered during evening hours (e.g., 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.). In addition, classes may occasionally need to meet on Saturdays. The graduate program is also in session every quarter, including Summer quarter, and students will have required classes during that time. Absolutely. The Core Speech-Language Pathology program is in session every quarter, including Summer quarter. Breaks in your program greatly complicate your plan of study and preclude the careful planning that has gone into matching your classroom experiences with your clinical training."
},
{
"question": "Can I do practica at off-site placements instead of at the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic?",
"answer": "In general, no. In the Core Speech-Language Pathology Program, clinical education and practica are completed at the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic, with one rotation through the UW Center for Human Disability and Development. Only the pre-internships and internships are completed at off-site, community facilities. Most students complete their internship during the Spring quarter of their second year, although some complete their internship during Summer quarter of their second year. Internship scheduling involves a variety of factors but importantly, a student must complete all prerequisite practica at the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic and the Center for Human Disability and Development prior to beginning a full-time Internship."
},
{
"question": "Do I get to choose my internship site?",
"answer": "Our faculty internship coordinators schedule all offsite practica and internships. However, student interests and input are solicited and integrated into the decision-making process. Designated faculty work to match student interests with the best available community site and clinical supervisor. Assignments are ultimately made by the internship/fieldwork coordinators, but are guided by the emphasis path chosen by each student. In addition, depending on the number of students interested in a particular site —from our graduate programs and others—students may be required to interview for an internship. Internships can occur in public schools, outpatient clinics, private practices, hospitals and skilled nursing/assisted living facilities. Please note, however, that students in the Medical Speech-Language Pathology program receive priority for scheduling acute care and inpatient rehab internships."
},
{
"question": "If I do my internship in the Spring quarter of my second year, do I have to come back to the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic in Summer quarter?",
"answer": "Yes. Students will not be able to complete all their required coursework prior to their Spring internship. Students are expected to return to the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic for the entire Summer quarter. However, students may not need to enroll full-time during their final Summer quarter depending on the number of remaining coursework requirements."
},
{
"question": "Is the Clinical Fellowship process included in the Core Speech-Language Pathology program?",
"answer": "No. As with other two-year graduate programs in speech-language pathology, students find their own Clinical Fellowship employment upon receipt of their master’s degree."

"answer": "Capture Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner works great on sofa, chairs, upholstery - even car interiors. Capture is most effective on \"pile\" type fabrics, but it can clean flat or woven fabrics with a little more effort. Before cleaning your sofa or chairs, check its cleaning code on the tag. The code may be W, S, or X. On fabrics with the \"W\" cleaning code, you would apply Capture PreMist and the Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner. We suggest using a clean terry cloth towel to work the Capture powder into the fabric. On \"S\" coded fabrics, use only the Capture Carpet & Rug Cleaner powder (no PreMist). It may take two applications, depending on the construction of the fabric. On \"X\" coded fabric, we don't recommend using Capture."

"question": "Will Capture clog or break my vacuum cleaner?",
"answer": "Capture Carpet & Rug Dry Cleaner is safe for use in all vacuums. We regularly test Capture's compatibility with a variety of machine models as they enter the marketplace. Capture dry cleaning powder is about the same size as sand, so it's not so small to clog filters or bags. The only way Capture powder (or for that matter, any particulate) to get to the motor of a vacuum is improper mounting the dust collection bin or bag. If a bin or bag is not properly placed, the air flow will bypass collection and carry all particulates deeper into the vacuum cleaner. Always make sure to check the bin or bag before vacuuming to protect your cleaning machine."

{
"question": "Can I use Capture powder on sisal rugs or sculpted berber carpets?",
"answer": "Capture is very effective on all types and constructions of carpets and rugs. Carpets and rugs that don't have pile but are flat instead should be cleaned by first applying the PreMist, then GENTLY brushing in the PreMist, followed by applying the powder and brushing that in. The tighter construction of berber sometimes makes penetration of the powder more difficult, so using a little extra PreMist will enhance the Capture powder's performance."

{
"question": "Can you clean wool rugs with Capture?",
"answer": "Capture may be used safely on all rugs and carpets made of wool. Capture is approved by the Wool Bureau and will not harm the fibers or the rug."

"question": "Why is this?",
"answer": "*** Please include “pokerstars.eu” and your username on all the pages if you send a fax in order to allow us to rapidly locate your account. Please login to your account and make a deposit via the Cashier to cover the negative balance, using deposit options available to you at that stage. To deposit you will need to select the ‘Make a Deposit’ button in the main Cashier screen. The descriptor that appears on your bank statement for transactions to and from your Stars Account is displayed in your cashier confirmation email. We try our best to provide accurate descriptors, however on rare occasions our payment processors change these descriptors without warning. Please contact Supportif you see an unusual descriptor on your bank statement that you believe may relate to a transaction with us. Please also be aware that your financial institution may abbreviate the descriptor. If your eCheck deposit is not available for you to play it is possible that you had a return in the past and thus your deposit will not be available for you to play until after 10 days when it has fully settled into our account. Please only email Security if none of your previous deposits have been returned. Please send an email to Security with the subject line ‘Remove eCheck account information’ and we will assist you further. I am trying to cashout; however, I get a message instructing me to contact Security. I have received a transfer from another account and now I wish to cashout the funds I have been transferred."

{
"question": "Do you have any requirement before I submit my request?",
"answer": "It is NOT permitted to cash out directly from transfers received from other players. b. Users cannot cash out funds directly received from a transfer.

{
"question": "How do I get it removed from my account to stop it showing up in the ‘Cashier’?",
"answer": "To enable us to swiftly handle your request, please email Security from your registered email address, explaining the reason why the method in question is no longer available to you and/or why you wish to block such method. Please do so before you submit your cashout request and be advised that that once a deposit/cashout method is blocked, you will NOT be able to use again that particular account /method within our system. I will be submitting my cashout request from a country other than the one registered on my account."

If you already have a cashout request pending to be processed, and wish to submit a second/new cashout request through the same method, you will first have to cancel your existing request and submit a new cashout request for the combined amount. To cancel your previous cashout you will need to access the Cashier, select the 'Pending Cashouts' button and follow the on-screen instructions. Note, you will be asked to confirm your password. If you do not wish to cancel your pending request, please select a different cashout method \"if available\" or wait until the pending request has been processed."

{
"question": "Can I change my mailing address after I have submitted my cashout request?",
"answer": "Yes, this is possible, however the pending cashout will need to be cancelled, and you will need to resubmit a new cashout after you make the required address changes. I am unable to locate my cashout in my Stars Account transaction history and I have not received notification that the request was cancelled. If your cashout request does not appear in your account’s transaction history it is probably because it is under review by our Security department. This is a routine procedure which can take up to 72 hours. Should there be any issues with your cashout request as a result of said review, you will be contacted by a member of the Security team at your registered email address and advised on the next steps. There is no need to contact Security unless 72 hours have passed since your initial cashout request. I am trying to cashout back to the same VISA card I have used to deposit."

"question": "Is this the right school for my child and how can I be sure?",
"answer": "We know this is the question that many parents are ultimately trying to answer when they look at schools for their child. We also know that after visiting many schools, researching schools online for hours, and talking with family and friends (each who have their own opinion), parents often feel overwhelmed trying to find the right school. The goal of the admissions process at The Child’s Primary School (TCPS) is to admit students who we believe will be successful in the unique program offered at TCPS. We strive to make certain that each student we admit is right for our school and that TCPS is the right school for your child. Unlike a lottery or other random process, we designed our admissions process to get to know each student as an individual. We believe this is the best way to determine if a particular school is right for a particular child. By getting to know the child as an individual, we are able to assess each candidate’s academic, social and behavioral readiness for the grade for which they are applying. Doing this enables us to increase the likelihood of a positive school experience for the student, their family, their class, and the TCPS community at large."
},
{
"question": "So, what are you looking for in a successful applicant?",
"answer": "We are looking for families who want their child to discover and reach their potential. The admissions process is covered in greater detail on the Application Process page. You can begin the process by calling a member of our admissions team at (858) 576-2120 or completing our online form to schedule a tour of the school. At the conclusion of the tour, you can apply online through our website here: Application Form. Along with the written application, each applicant has a personal interview/evaluation with one of our teachers. Once the application and interview are completed, the Admissions Committee will make a decision. Decision letters are typically mailed in the late February/early March time frame. After that time, applications are considered on a space available basis."
},
{
"question": "Are there any opportunities to visit the school?",
"answer": "We recommend that everyone interested in learning more about TCPS sign up for a school tour. Tours are offered through the week and can be scheduled by emailing [email protected], calling (858) 576-2120 or by completing the online tour request form. We also welcome prospective families to attend admissions events throughout the school year."
},
{
"question": "Does TCPS offer financial assistance?",
"answer": "Yes, financial aid is available. TCPS strives to keep tuition as low as possible to keep our private school education accessible to as many families as possible. To help meet this goal, financial assistance is also available on a sliding scale for those who qualify. Financial aid decisions are made by our Admissions Committee with guidance from a third party advisor who administers the application. Please see our Tuition and Financial Assistance page here for important deadlines and information regarding the financial aid application process or call or email our Admissions office with any questions."

"question": "What is a Licensee or Agency Operator?",
"answer": "Some Budget rental locations in New Zealand are operated by or for the company. Others are operated by franchised independent licensees who own their own fleet of cars. Although each of these licensee locations strives to offer the same high level of quality and service, occasionally licensee-owned locations do not participate in some Budget promotions, special pricing activities, or company programs. In addition, licensee rental terms & conditions may vary from those at corporate Budget locations. An Agency Operator is contracted to run and manage the growth and success of a designated Budget location on behalf of the company using corporate-owned cars. Agency operations may use the agent's premises or premises controlled by the company. Unlike a franchise licensee that requires a significant capital expenditure and payment of ongoing royalties. An Agency Operator employs their own staff, but is authorized to rent Budget vehicles, for which the operator earns a commission."
},
{
"question": "Does Budget New Zealand allow pets or animals in cars?",
"answer": "Budget New Zealand does not allow pets or any other animals, with the exception of guide dogs for visually impaired people, to be transported in our rental cars."

"answer": "If you plan to return your car outside of normal location operating hours (either before or after normal business hours), please make specific arrangements by calling the rental location where you are going to pick up or return your car. Alternatively, you can contact Budget Reservations to check if this is possible at your requested rental location. Phone 0800-283-438 (toll free) or +64 9 529 7784."

},
{
"question": "Where can I find the hours of operation for a specific Budget location?",
"answer": "Hours of operation vary by location and day of the week. To find opening hours for a location go to Budget Rental Locations in New Zealand and search for the rental location."
},
{
"question": "What if I'm late picking up my Budget rental car?",
"answer": "If you anticipate a delay in picking up your rental car, please notify us as soon as possible by calling Budget Reservations toll free on 0800 58 58 58 or +64-9-529-7784. Most Budget airport locations will remain open to meet incoming customers who have made advance reservations and who have encountered flight delays. If a customer is delayed, it is our policy to honour a reservation up to 16 hours beyond the stated pick-up time."
},
{
"question": "Are there additional charges for returning a car late?",
"answer": "Depending on how late the car is returned, additional charges may apply. Most Budget rentals are based on a 24-hour day, so a car rented at 10AM for a one-day rental is due back at 10AM the next day. However, there is a 59-minute grace period on late returns, so if the car is returned within the 59-minute grace period, there will not be any additional hourly rate charge. Beyond the 59-minute period, an hourly rate will apply from the scheduled return time and accumulate until it equals the rate of an additional day. Charges for optional services such as Loss Damage Waiver are charged as full days after the 59-minute grace period. Please Note: If your rental includes a 'special offer' coupon or has specially discounted rates applied and the vehicle is returned outside the terms stipulated on the offer or rate code, the total rental may be charged at a higher applicable rate."
},
{
"question": "Can I smoke in a Budget rental vehicle?",
"answer": "No, you are not permitted to smoke in a Budget rental vehicle. All vehicles in our New Zealand fleet are designated as no-smoking cars. Cleaning charges may apply if the vehicle is returned in an excessively dirty condition that requires extra cleaning or deodorizing. This includes, but is not limited to, spillage of fluids, food, vomit, other stains, and unpleasant odours including cigarette smoke."
},
{
"question": "Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at another?",
"answer": "Budget offers convenient one-way rentals at attractive rates, so you can pick up a car at one location and return it to another. Car type and availability vary by participating locations, and a one-way drop-off charge may apply. Customers interested in a one-way rental should specifically ask if there are any drop-off fees or charges for additional kilometres and which locations are authorised for such rental car returns. Budget NZ will sometimes offer relocation deals for selected locations, so be sure to check out our latest car rental special offers or ask at the time of booking."
},
{
"question": "Can I park my own car at the Budget location when I pick up my rental?",

{
"question": "After I pick up a rental vehicle, may I change the time and place I plan to return it?",

Budget is unable to guarantee a specific make or model. Car groups and models may vary by location and may not be available at all Budget locations."

"question": "I tested my soil with a home kit or sent my soil to a different lab, why are the results different?",
"answer": "Soil testing takes the guesswork out of maintaining the soil in optimum condition for plant growth and development. Different plants have different soil pH and nutrient requirements. Testing is inexpensive when compared to investments in your plants, amendments, time and efforts. The fertilizer guidelines provided with the soil test results are based on environmentally-friendly soil fertility management practices. A soil test will assess the present levels of major plant nutrients, soil pH, micronutrients and provide an estimate of total soil lead. Recommendations will include the amounts of limestone and fertilizer, if necessary, to meet the requirements of the specific plant or crop being grown. If elevated soil lead levels are indicated, appropriate information will be included with your results to address this problem. A. Standard Nutrient Analysis – This test is suitable for most purposes. Samples are analyzed for soil pH, macro and micro nutrients, and estimated total soil lead. Soils are hand-textured and a visual estimate of the organic matter content is made. Limestone and fertilizer recommendations are made based on results. B. Soil pH Only – Soil pH levels are measured and a limestone or sulfur recommendation is made if necessary. Soil pH is included in the Standard Nutrient Analysis. C. Soil Organic Matter – The percentage of organic matter is determined by a procedure called loss on ignition. Interpretation is provided but recommendations are not made. D. Soil Textural Analysis – The actual percent of sand, silt, and clay is determined and the soil is categorized using USDA classification. No recommendations are given. E. Soluble Salts – This test measures the amount of total soluble salts by electrical conductivity. An interpretation is provided. F. Saturated Media Analysis – This test is provided for soilless potting media only. It is not appropriate for mineral garden soils. Results include macro and micronutrients, soluble salts, media pH, and nitrate-N and ammonium-N levels. G. Nitrate Testing – The lab offers agronomic and commercial vegetable growers a Pre-sidedress Soil Nitrate Test (PSNT) from June 1st to August 15th and a Cornstalk Tissue Test in the fall and winter."

"question": "When/how often should I test my soil?",
"answer": "Samples can be collected any time of year that the ground is not frozen. Many people collect their samples for testing in the spring right before planting, but fall is an optimal time especially if a soil pH problem is suspected. Amendments such as limestone or sulfur can be added in the fall as can slow release, natural organic sources of phosphorus and potassium. This allows sufficient time for reactions to occur in the soil so the pH and fertility should be at or close to the target levels by spring. A soil test should be performed about every three years to monitor soil pH and fertility levels. However, if a large correction in soil pH or fertility is called for by the initial soil test, it is a good idea to retest one year after amendments or fertilizer additions to evaluate if the situation has been corrected."

{
"question": "How do I send a sample?",
"answer": "Each sample is labeled (if more than one is sent) both on the bag and on the questionnaire. The appropriate questionnaire(s) is filled out. A check or money order (made payable to UConn) is included. Packages are mailed to: UConn Soil Nutrient Analysis Laboratory, 6 Sherman Place, U-5102, Storrs, CT 06269. Each soil test collection kit (sometimes referred to as the soil test mailer) contains a questionnaire, sampling directions, and a plastic bag for one soil sample. These fit into the mailing envelop which is addressed to the Soil Nutrient Analysis Laboratory. It is not necessary to send soils to us in these kits although some people like the convenience of having all the collection materials provided to them. These collection kits are pre-paid meaning the cost of the analysis is paid for when the kits are purchased. The cost of mailing is not, so postage is required. Pre-Paid Soil Test Collection Kits can be purchased at the Soil Nutrient Analysis Lab, the Home and Garden Education Center, and some of the Cooperative Extension Centers. Some garden centers also sell them. Soils sent in these kits receive the Standard Nutrient Analysis. The questionnaire filled out depends on the crop and the type of grower. Home grounds/Landscape is used by homeowners, gardeners, lawn care companies, landscapers, contractors, and landscape architects. Crops include: lawn, vegetables, flowers, shrubs, trees, groundcovers, and small fruits. Recommendations are given in pounds per 1000 (or 100) square feet. When a \"home grounds/landscape\" client has specific problems, a copy of the soil test results and their question is sent to the UConn Home & Garden Education Center for further assistance. Agronomic Growers produce crops that will be used for animal feed, including silage corn, hay, small grains, wildlife food plots, warm season grasses and grazing pastures. The questionnaire for this group contains questions related to manure history, field size, and yield goal. When a grower has specific problems, they are directed to a specialist for further assistance. Recommendations are provided on a per acre basis. Commercial Growers produce crops that will be sold for human use or consumption including fruits, vegetables, field grown cut-flowers, and Christmas trees. Questionnaires developed for this group of people ask specific questions that allow the lab or the Extension Specialist to make site/situation-specific recommendations. Commercial growers are directed to the Extension Specialist if further assistance is required. Recommendations for field crops are generally provided on a per acre basis. Additional Soil Tests: Use the additional soil test form if requesting percent organic matter, soil textural analysis, soluble salts, or soil pH only. The typical turn-around-time for results is 3 to 4 business days from time of sample receipt except during April and May when it may take 1 to 2 weeks due to heavy sample load. Pre-Sidedress Soil Nitrate Tests (PSNT) are done on a 24-hour turn-around (next business day) from June 1st through mid-August. The UConn Soil Nutrient Analysis Laboratory routinely screens samples which are submitted for the standard nutrient analysis for estimated total soil lead. We also analyze for available copper and zinc. If determination of other heavy metals or organic contaminants such as pesticides, PCB�s, petroleum based products, etc. is required, turn to the numerous environmental testing labs in the state of Connecticut. Look up �Environmental Testing Laboratories� in the yellow pages to find a lab near you. Also, you can follow this link to the State of Connecticut�s Department of Public Health website for a list of state approved environmental testing labs. Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of different substances in the environment but no single test that will screen for all of them. A laboratory needs to know what substance(s) to look for. Sometimes site history will suggest what analyses to request."

{
"question": "I tested my soil with a home kit or sent my soil to a different lab; why are the results different?",
"answer": "There are many different ways of testing soil for fertility. What they all have in common, is that they index the extractable nutrients into categories such as below optimum, optimum and above optimum. At UConn, for example, these categories have been established for individual crops over the past century through field studies using the Modified Morgan Extractant. A laboratory that uses a different extraction solution (like Mehlich or Bray) will extract different amounts of nutrients. Therefore, they will come up with different values for each nutrient. Home test kits work under a similar premise. The bottom line is that even if the numbers on the soil test reports differ; the categories and recommendations should be similar. It is also important to note that different extractants are used based on soil physical and chemical properties. The Modified Morgan extractant has been designed for soils in the northeastern United States. Soil characteristics vary from region to region. While the lab will test any soil that is submitted to us, our recommendations may not be appropriate for soils obtained outside of this area. If you live outside of New England and are interested in having your soil tested for fertility, contact your local Cooperative Extension Office for information about soil testing in your area. Organic Matter plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy soil. Our lab can analyze your soil and determine the percent Organic Matter it contains. Excessive or ill-timed fertilizer applications can contribute to ground and surface water pollution, may inhibit plant growth, and can be a waste of time and money. A soil�s pH affects the availability of all plant nutrients. A handful of soil may contain more than a billion microorganisms. At least 16 and maybe more, nutrients are essential for plant growth."

"question": "What is the main aim of the Baltic Blue Growth (BBG) project and its pilot mussel farms?",
"answer": "The main aim of the project is to implement five pilot mussels farm and look into whether mussel farming in the Baltic Proper is possible and if so; under what biological and financial conditions. Mussel farms can contribute to cleaner water in the Baltic Sea by taking up nutrients. It has been known for a while that mussels have impressive filter capacities; however, it is still a relatively new concept in the Baltic Proper. This is because of low salinity levels resulting in the mussels growing slower. Other challenges besides low salinity are the climate and predators. The BBG will also investigate what the harvested mussels can be used for and their role in closing the nutrient loop. Blue mussels can be processed into high quality feed for fish and poultry as the meat contains a lot of Omega3. Moreover, the high levels of protein make it a good substitute to traditional protein sources and so can reduce the amount of soybean or fish meal used for feed, alleviating pressures on both the climate and fish stocks. 2."
},
{
"question": "Is the nutrient extraction only addressing the nutrient content or also the ongoing nutrient input?",
"answer": "The pilot mussel farms extract the nutrients already present in the sea – i.e. the nutrient content. The farms act as a complementary measure to those land-based measures aiming to reduce the nutrient inflow into the Baltic Sea. The mussel farms are in no way substituting on-going measures on land, e.g. restricting nitrate on farmlands or modernising wastewater treatment plants. It’s rather alleviating the symptoms of an illness caused by too much nitrogen and phosphorous flowing in the sea. However, without measures to reduce nutrient content, it will take 40 years or more for the Baltic Sea to recover, even if all inflow of nitrogen and phosphorous stopped tomorrow. Nevertheless, since mussel farming results in an increase in water transparency, we can expect a positive impact on the ecosystem shortly after the mussel farms are established. 3."
},
{
"question": "Is large-scale mussel farming in the Baltic Sea even possible?",
"answer": "Currently hundreds of tons of mussels can be harvested in the Baltic Sea, but there is potential for much more. According to a Danish report, there is a biological potential to produce 300.000 tons of mussels annually in Danish coastal areas, a large part within the western Baltic Sea. Preliminary project results show that there is great biological potential for large-scale mussel farming also in the Baltic Proper, despite lower salinity levels. A total harvest of some ten thousand tons of mussels annually from the Baltic Proper could be realistic in the future. However, the biological potential of mussel harvest is currently limited by factors that include outdated legislation and an underdeveloped market for the mussels farmed. Large-scale mussel farming also needs infrastructure, such as specially equipped boats and processing plants. Another pressing issue is technology, as most mussel-farming techniques that are used today only work in sheltered waters. In these waters there are typically many conflicting interests. Lack of space has been mentioned as an argument against large-scale mussel farming, but technical development could enable much larger areas in the Baltic Sea for mussel-farming. Hence, large-scale mussel farming in the Baltic Sea is potentially possible, if questions of technology and economy were to be solved. To highlight the potential of mussel farming in the Baltic Sea, a pan-Baltic map on viable regions for mussel growth (salinity > 5psu and chlorophyll > 1µg/l) is being developed by BBG project partners will be available in September 2018. 4."
},
{
"question": "How large do mussel farms have to be to efficiently reduce eutrophication?",
"answer": "In the SUBMARINER Compendium, authors estimated that if Sweden harvested 9000 tons of mussels every year, this would contribute to 2-3 % of its total target of nutrient reduction set in the Baltic Sea Action Plan. This might not sound as too much, but if all countries around the Baltic Sea harvested similar amounts, it would ultimately add up. Large-scale mussel farming also looks promising if we compare it to many suggested land-based measures aimed to reduce nutrient inflow. Although agricultural measures can be inexpensive, there is often a lack of waste land or buffer zones between arable land and the coastline and/or steams. Buffer zones are important to stop nutrients leaking from the agricultural land into the sea as they act as nutrient traps. If there are few such buffer zones available, the costs for land-based measures will be very high. Larger constructions that such as wetlands are also regulatory complicated and there are often many stakeholders involved. Industrial measures such as modernizing wastewater treatment plants are easier in terms of regulation and ownership but considerably more expensive per kilo of phosphorous than agricultural measures, particularly when going from 95-96 % to 98-99% uptake of phosphorous from the water. The table above illustrates the cost effectiveness of different methods for reducing nitrogen and phosphorous in the Baltic Sea Region. Looking at this table it becomes clear that mussel farming can under circumstances be much more cost-effective than many other eutrophication counteracting measures. Of course, these figures depend on location and in which country the mussels will be harvested, and thus can vary greatly. The reported cost figures for all measures also vary greatly in the literature, so the listed values can only be seen as a rough estimation. Reliable values for the costs of mussel farming will be generated by the project team. 5."
},
{
"question": "How do you know that mussel farming has a positive environmental impact?",
"answer": "Eutrophication is considered the biggest threat to the integrity of the Baltic Sea ecosystem and is primarily caused by excessive nutrient pollution in the water. The blue mussels filter the water for phytoplankton, and so store nutrients. When the mussels are harvested, the nutrients are removed from the marine environment. Therefore, the mussel farming can be considered as one of the most promising compensatory measures in order to prevent increased eutrophication in the Baltic Sea area. Moreover, mussel farming can greatly increase water transparency locally, which in turn increases light to aquatic organisms. However, it has been suggested that sedimentation from mussel farms may impoverish oxygen conditions locally below farms. The BBG monitoring around different farms in the Baltic Sea area has clearly shown that the farms never induce critically low oxygen conditions. 6."
},
{
"question": "How do you monitor positive and negative environmental impacts and from what other sources is data gathered?",
"answer": "Environmental monitoring is an important part of the BBG project. Researchers perform rigorous monitoring in and around the mussel farms to ensure a scientifically sound assessment of the positive and negative environmental impacts. Traditional sampling of water quality variables (e.g. water chemistry, phytoplankton, sediment, phytobenthos, benthic invertebrates and birds) is combined data from innovative oceanographic instruments. These oceanographic instruments record short-term variability of water parameters whereas samples collected at farm sites validate the data provided by the oceanographic instruments. Moreover, mussel recruitment and growth at mussel farms are experimentally evaluated in order to link broad patterns of oceanographic conditions to the net increase of the mussel stock. By using all these techniques interactively, the collated datasets make it possible to place the environmental impacts of each farm into broader spatial and finer temporal scales. This, in turn, allows us to assess mussel farm potential and impacts on a pan-Baltic scale. 7."
},
{
"question": "What are the potential negative impacts of mussel farming on the ecosystem in the Baltic Sea?",
"answer": "Mussels function as efficient biological filters, purifying water masses from phytoplankton and other particulate matter. The filtration makes the water clearer and the increase in water transparency and underwater light conditions may in turn promote plant growth on the seabed (benthos). Mussels and their associated fauna that may drop from the farm enhance the food availability for predators and scavengers close to the sea bed. However, the increased sedimentation of biodeposits (especially faeces) underneath a mussel farm can locally have a negative impact on the benthos if the mussel farm is placed in a coastal area with slow water currents and bad oxygen conditions. The organic enrichment of the underlying seafloor may lead to hypoxic conditions, releasing nutrients from the impacted sediments into the water. Studies have so far shown that any adverse effects have been restricted to the immediate vicinity of the mussel farms. If we choose a location with well-oxygenated sediments, negative effects of mussel farming can probably be avoided or reduced. The overall environmental impact of mussel farms may differ between sites and change over time during the production cycle. The environmental monitoring of mussel farms within the BBG-project will help to evaluate environmental impact and identify key factors to optimize the positive environmental effects of mussel farming. Apart from the potential adverse effect on the seabed directly beneath the farm, there are few other possible negative impacts (see question 6). Buoys and other parts of mussel farm equipment can be disconnected and might cause a local litter problem. Any lost equipment is reported to the Work Package leader by the BBG project partners. Moreover, we are in contact with other marine actors to deal with the issue. Marine litter will also be described in the final report on establishing the pilot mussel farms under the headline interactions with other marine users, conflicts and solutions. The mussel farm equipment such as anchor blocks may have a local effect on the ecosystem. Some experts regard the creation of a new habitat and modification of naturally occurring zoobenthos communities as negative aspect of the mussel farming (locally decreased populations of suspension-feeders and increased deposit-feeders). Nevertheless, the total environmental effect is rather positive because bottom structures such as anchor blocks may provide a surface area for organisms that are normally not found on soft bottoms, where mussel farming often is practiced. Moreover, mussels growing in a suspended culture can create favourable habitats for other invertebrates, fishes and birds. Species diversity and abundance are therefore higher near mussel farms.

},
{
"question": "Can the extraction of nutrients lead to a decline in certain fish stocks?",
"answer": "It is highly unlikely that the extraction of nutrients through mussel farming will lead to any detectable decline in fish stocks. The environmental goal of mussel farming is to achieve a local decrease in the potential for algal growth in areas of the Baltic with excessive nutrients. Decreasing nutrient concentrations in targeted priority areas should lead to local improvements in water quality with a minimum of undesirable effects. While there is a theoretical possibility that nutrient extraction associated with mussel farms could negatively affect fish stocks, the total size of farms needed to have a detectable effect on fish stocks far exceeds the size of current or potential mussel farms in the Baltic. 9."

{
"question": "Is it true that methane emissions from mussels contribute to climate change?",
"answer": "A recent study claims that mussel farming could add a significant amount of methane to atmosphere. The statement was based on extrapolations from laboratory experiments conducted on sea worms and the Baltic Clam (Limecola balthica), living in carbon-rich Baltic Sea sediments. These ocean critters’ combined methane emissions were calculated to be the equivalent of 20.000 cows. Although this might seem like a lot, you have to look at the bigger picture. There are 23.5 million dairy cows in Europe, and approximately 265 million globally. Moreover, there is no reason to expect that blue mussels will produce the same amount of methane as clams. In fact, comparing clams living in sediment mud to mussels growing in ropes near the surface would be similar to comparing methane production in two species of mammals, say squirrels and humans! As a reply to the study, a team of researchers claim that this potential methane production is negligible compared to the total methane production in the sediment. The methane released is taken care of by bacteria and do not reach the atmosphere. To read the full statement from BBG on this topic, click here. 10."

{
"question": "What criteria are used for site selection?",
"answer": "The selection of the spatial area designated for aquaculture development and careful selection of farm sites are essential first steps to ensure the success and sustainability of aquaculture. socio-economic aspects of aquaculture, (e.g. easy access to ports and to other coastal facilities, potential revenue visual impact, cultural heritage, tourism). The Aquabest project has developed a road map/manual for localizing sustainable aquaculture farms in the Baltic Sea Region. The suitability maps for establishment of mussel farms were produced from the GIS analysis, and 12 favorable mussel farming sites were identified. The conclusion was that farming blue mussels for fish feed might be possible, but questions regarding production capacity and economic viability, among others, remain to be answered. For mussel cultivation in the Baltic Sea, salinity and water dynamics are major challenges. Moving from the west to the east Baltic, favorable natural conditions decrease: with decreasing salinity, the size of products decrease and the time of growth increases. These parameters are greatly influential to attract investors and final consumers. National interests: fishing, outdoor life, culture, nature, Natura 2000, wind, municipal detailed plan of coastal water. Spin-off BLUEFARM s.r.l. - knowledge transfer from the academy to the private sector concerning the application of statistical methods and simulation models to sustainable aquaculture - site selection of areas to be allocated for aquaculture, optimization of monitoring and husbandry practices. 11."

"question": "Doesn’t the extraction of nutrients from the water body give polluters arguments against stricter legislation and additional measures, especially against measures to improve the environmental status of upstream water bodies?",
"answer": "This is a hotly debated topic and one of the more contentious policy issues concerning sea-based measures such as mussel farming. Of course, there is a risk that polluters will view sea-based measures as an opportunity to argue against stricter legislation, therefore it is important to point out that mussel farming is a complementary measure to land-based measures. Particularly in regions where there is no realistic potential to reach “good environmental status” by only implementing land-based measures, mussel farming could be a suitable complementary measure. The Swedish programme of measures to implement the Marine Strategy Framework Directive acknowledges that nutrient reduction through current land-based measures is insufficient to reach the national targets set out in the Baltic Sea Action Plan. Moreover, even if Sweden fully implemented all relevant land-based measures, it would still be 190 tons of phosphorous and 1800 tons of nitrogen away from reaching its HELCOM nutrient reduction target. Therefore, Sweden now wants to investigate whether complimentary measures to reduce internal nutrient load, i.e. the nutrients already present in the Baltic Sea. You can also turn the argument around - legislators can use mussel farming as a nutrient reduction measure to argue in favour for stricter legislation in order to improve the environmental status of coastal waters. The Swedish programme of measures illustrates how important it is to have complementary sea-based measures to ensure that our waters reach good environmental standard, and simultaneously enforce strict regulation on land-based pollution sources. There is no doubt that improving the environmental status of upstream water bodies is crucial to preserve fragile ecosystems and measures and regulations in place should be carefully monitored to ensure compliance. However, we also need to realise the environmental and cost benefits of setting up mussel farms to take up the pollution that reaches the sea despite of land-based efforts. 12."
},
{
"question": "Can you legally justify mussel farming as a measure to fight eutrophication?",
"answer": "The current EU framework directives on water protection, specifically the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) have driven member states to take far-reaching actions to improve water quality. These actions have also led to a reduction in the inflow of nitrogen and phosphorous into the Baltic Sea. However, these measures are all land-based, focusing on reducing nutrient inflow rather than nutrient content. Neither the WFD nor the MSFD mention mussel farming in any context, which makes it difficult to figure out where EU legislation stand on this issue. As frameworks, the WFD and MSFD set up a legal structure for member states to implement national law. The frameworks represent a lowest common denominator, but each state has to decide what measures to put in place and can make their own national legislation more stringent than set out in the directives. Hence, as the WFD make no reference to mussel farming, each member state has to decide whether national law justifies mussel farming as a measure to fight eutrophication. However, national strategies in for example Sweden and Germany explicitly mention shell fish farming as a possible mitigation measure and the guidance document the “EU Commission Staff Document on the application of WFD and MSFD in relation to Aquaculture” regards mussel cultivation as a possible mitigation measure that can also lead to improvement of water clarity. In Denmark, an empowerment law on compensatory instruments to decrease nutrient pollution from marine aquaculture was adopted in June 2017. The ministry can issue a statutory order whereby a license for a marine fish farm is issued as long as compensation measures are taken. These measures can entail mussel or algae farming that should be located in the same area as the fish farm and neutralise the nutrient input from the fish farm to the coastal or sea areas affected. However, this law is controversial and as of January 2018 the statutory order has not yet been issued. 13."

{
"question": "What are the technological challenges for mussel farming in the BSR?",
"answer": "Mussel farming has been practiced in sheltered areas without any major problems caused e.g. by weather influences or ice cover. Most issues that faced and addressed in the Baltic Blue Growth project occur because we test mussel farming in more exposed locations. There, storms, currents, waves, ice and weather can cause material to wear or even get ripped off resulting in new requirements for the construction designs and materials used. One of the biggest challenges is the regularly occurring ice-cover which can even hit the far south of the Baltic Sea. Ice-covers are not per se a problem, but in combination with currents can represent a major challenge because when the ice melts and breaks up, it can easily rip out the anchoring and rip off the buoys and lines. The most practical solution to this challenge is to build submerged farms. Such farms are also an opportunity to dramatically increase the size of potential mussel farming sites, as the mussel farms then face less competition for space and cause less aesthetic disturbances. Baltic Blue Growth aims to find solutions to the challenges that come with submerged farms such as setting drill-anchors, calculating the necessary farm specifications and the general lack of experience with the novel techniques. Another problem of mussel farming in some parts of the Baltic Sea is the periodic predation from eider ducks. Different avoidance strategies besides moving the farm to a place where no ducks are, like different technical solutions are currently being tested. By testing different farming techniques, different materials, set-ups and locations, the project provides valuable input in establishing good practices for mussel farming in the Baltic Sea. However, many processes still need to be optimized to increase the biomass production and eutrophication counteracting capacity of mussel farming in the Baltic Sea. 14."
},
{
"question": "Is sufficient equipment for mussel farming in the Baltic Sea Proper available?",
"answer": "Mussels in the Baltic Sea are either grown on longlines or on nets (smartunits), which for both technology and equipment is available. Concerning harvesting, it gets a bit more challenging. Especially the harvesting of mussels on nets that in most cases would be the more efficient farming technique. There are mussel farmers with own longline-harvesters in the Baltic Sea Region but no harvesters exist for net units. During the Aquabest project, a harvester was brought all the way from Norway to Åland. Since this is not a practical solution for self-sustaining businesses, farmers in the BSR will have to buy equipment. Since the machines are expensive, most mussel farmers will depend on cooperatives sharing the needed equipment. This is still the case on the Swedish west coast (two big mussel producers own one harvester each, several smaller businesses depend on renting them). Sharing equipment can result in a shortage of machines when more than one farmer wants to harvest at the same time. In addition, the packaging of the harvested mussels is currently seen as one of the bottlenecks for blue mussel farming in Sweden. The places where mussels are packed need to fulfill legal requirements. Swedish farmers again depend on cooperatives or even sending mussels to the Netherlands for this processing step."

The Resource and Cost requirements are usually proportional to the duration of an activity.– Resource and Cost requirements for an activity would increase, if you increase the duration of an activity (Predecessor). The best practice is to schedule all activities as per the estimated duration. – Lag is introduced only when a mandatory delay is required. Introduction of Lag does not impact the Resource or Cost requirements of an activity."
},
{
"question": "Is Lag same as Buffer?",
"answer": "No. Buffers are introduced in the Project Schedule to reduce Risk. They are also called time reserves. Buffers may or may not be used during the project execution. Moreover, actual duration of an activity may be more or less than the estimated duration. But a Lag will always be used as planned."
},
{
"question": "Is Lead same as Fast-Tracking?",
"answer": "No. Leads can be used to Fast-Track a project. But, fast-tracking can be done by changing the discretionary dependencies also. No. Dependencies are defined because of the Network Logic. If there are any schedule changes in the predecessor activity(ies), they will be automatically affect the successor activity(ies). If one removes the dependencies, the schedule of successor activity will not automatically change due to changes in predecessor activity(ies). The Network Logic should be always maintained. There is always some Float on Non-Critical Path."
},
{
"question": "Are Leads and Lags required only on Critical Path?",
"answer": "No. Lead and Lag are modifiers to 4 types of logical relationships. They are as much part of Non-Critical Path and they are part of Critical Path. The network logical should always be maintained for all activities."
},
{
"question": "Why are four different relationships required when only one is enough?",
"answer": "– There 4 different Logical Relationships – Finish to Start, Start to Start, Finish to Finish and Start to Finish. – Any Project Dependencies can be defined by using Finish to Start(FS) relationship with appropriate Lead or Lag. – Logical Relationships are inherent to the Network Logic. The sequence of activities should be defined as it should be. – Let us consider 2 activities – A and B. A has a duration of 3 days while B has a duration of 1 day. Mathematically, the logical relationships, B(S) = A(F) – 3d and B(S) = A(S) will produce the same result. But technically & physically the Logical relationship between A and B should be either FS or SS. – Logical relationships are not mathematical in nature. They define the project schedule."
},
{
"question": "Do you think you can make a schedule without using them?",
"answer": "While your answer is correct, there is an easier way to explain it…. You ca say that either the start or finish of B LAGS behind the start or finish of A by a predetermined amount of time. Thus what determines whether that predetermined amount of time is a LEAD or LAG depends on whether the perspective is looking at it from the Predecessor or Successor point of view."

"question": "What yeasts are found in the food industry ?",
"answer": "Yeasts are unicellular micro-organisms belonging to the Fungi group (mushrooms), including moulds (fungal flora). They mainly reproduce by budding. Microbiological studies have mainly dealt with so-called “useful” or “technological” yeasts (of the Saccharomyces genus, used for their fermentation capacities: production of wine, beer, etc.) or yeasts that are pathogenic for humans (such as Candida). There is less understanding about yeasts that are undesirable in food production, in sectors such as the dairy industry, bakeries, etc. With 50 years of experience with agri-food industries, LCB food safety has developed its own mycological collection. Our experts can provide you with its expertise in identifying and searching for the sources/vehicles of contaminating yeasts."

{
"question": "What is a Chiropractic Adjustment ?",
"answer": "Chiropractic adjustments usually involve a slight thrust that helps add motion to spinal joints, which aren't moving right. Some methods use the doctor's hands, an instrument, a special table, the force of gravity, or extremely light contacts. There are various ways to adjust the spine, each adapted to an individual's needs and comfort levels."
},
{
"question": "Why is chiropractic care so popular ?",
"answer": "Chiropractic Care is the third largest primary health care profession prevalent in the western world alongside medicine and dentistry. Its unique appeal is the lack of drugs or surgery and is an extremely safe technique.Chiropractic entails a thorough examination not only to locate but also to adjust & reduce nerve disturbances to the vital nervous system. Chiropractors also recognize the importance of nutrition, exercise and other lifestyle related elements on overall health and will often advise you on these aspects during your care."
},
{
"question": "What can I expect from an initial consultation ?",
"answer": "An initial consultation will require a patient’s entire spinal & medical history, a thorough spinal assessment as well as assessing orthopedic and neurological tests. The duration for this may vary from 30 to 45 mins. We endeavor to gather information relating to your chief complaint and your overall health, diet, sleep and posture, which in turn will assist us in correctly diagnosing& suggesting the best treatment plan. Xraysare a relatively safe and cost effective way to view the structure & condition of the spine. They can reveal spinal areas under high stress and expose areas of degenerative change. They provide essential information, which correlates with the patient’s history & examination findings. X-rays are also used in assessing an accurate spinal diagnosis of your complaint for a more personal and effective treatment plan. It helps in ruling out the existence of more serious problems such as spinal fractures, tumors & infections, which requires immediate emergency medical intervention. If further investigation is required, we are then able to refer you for an MRI or a CT Scan. Australian Chiropractors study at university fulltime for a minimum of five years. These courses are similar to medical courses and focus strongly on anatomy, physiology, pathology, neurology, xrays, biomechanics & adjustment techniques. Chiropractic courses also require extensive clinical practical hours. All our chiropractors are registered with the AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency) requiring continued professional development courses and seminars to upgrade and improve their skills, keeping them up to date with the latest in scientific medical research."
},
{
"question": "/ What is a slipped disc ?",
"answer": "Between each pair of spinal bones is a disc. Its fibrous outer ring holds in a soft jellylike material, which serves as a ‘ball bearing’ for joint movement. Because of the way a disc attaches to the spinal bones located above and below it, it can't literally ‘slip’. However, a disc can bulge. It can tear. It can herniate. It can thin. It can dry out. And it can collapse. But it can't slip."
},
{
"question": "Is Chiropractic care covered by health funds ?",
"answer": "Most health funds cover Chiropractic Care. The GIC clinic has Hicaps claim facilities, so patients simply pay the gap on their consultation. The rebate may vary with different funds and the levels of your extras-cover. A pinched nerve is rare. It is more likely that an adjacent spinal bone irritates, stretches, rubs or chafes a nerve. These messages are sent between the brain and the body and can produce unhealthy alterations to the organs and tissues connected by the affected nerves."
},
{
"question": "How do you get subluxations/ misalignment ?",
"answer": "There are three basic causes of subluxations. Physical causes could include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Emotions, such as grief, anger and fear can cause subluxations as well. Chemical causes could include alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet."
},
{
"question": "Are chiropractic adjustments safe ?",
"answer": "Yes. A New Zealand government study found that adjustments are \"remarkably safe\". By avoiding drugs and risky surgery, chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record. You can compare the statistics; adjustments are safer than taking over-the-counter pain relievers."
},
{
"question": "What makes the sound during the adjustment ?",
"answer": "Lubricating fluids separate the bones of each spinal joint. Some adjusting methods can produce a sound when the gas and fluids in the joint shifts. The sound is interesting, but isn't a guide to the quality or value of the adjustment. No. Each patient's spine and care plan is unique. With 24 moving bones in the spine (that can each move in seven different directions) we see a wide variety of spinal patterns. A patient’s care is tailored for their age, condition and health goals. You are unique and your care should be too. No. Some people can make their joints \"pop\" but that's not an adjustment! Worse still, damage can occur by mobilising a joint with weakened muscles and ligaments. Adjustments are specific and take years to master. Even your Chiropractic doctor must consult a colleague to benefit from Chiropractic Care."
},
{
"question": "Why do newborns and children get adjustments ?",
"answer": "The process of a natural childbirth can affect the newborn’s spine. Preliminary studies suggested that colic, unusual crying, poor appetite, ear infections or erratic sleeping habits can be signs of spinal distress. Pediatric adjustments are gentle. Knowing exactly where to adjust, the doctor applies no more pressure than you'd use to test the ripeness of a tomato. Later, in a child’s life; learning to walk, ride a bicycle and other childhood activities can also cause spinal problems. While a bandage and some comforting words can help a skinned knee, the unseen damage to the child's spine is the unique domain and area of expertise of a Chiropractic doctor. Many childhood health complaints that are brushed off as \"growing pains\" can often be traced back to the spine."
},
{
"question": "Can I have chiropractic care after back surgery ?",
"answer": "Yes. You can rest assured that your Chiropractic doctor will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. Surgery often causes instability above or below the involved level. These areas will be the focus of your Chiropractic Care."
},
{
"question": "Can patients with osteoporosis get chiropractic care ?",
"answer": "Of course, when developing a care plan, your Chiropractic doctor considers the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways to adjust the spine. The method selected will be best suited to your age, size and health."
},
{
"question": "Are you in an otherwise good condition?",
"answer": "Within a short period, most patients sense enough progress to fully complete their doctor's recommendations. After patients get the relief they want, many choose to continue with some type of periodic care. These patients show up for their visits feeling great. These visits can help support the final stages of healing and help detect and resolve new problems if any before they become serious. Our job is to offer the very best care and your job is to decide how much of it you want to follow and incorporate into your everyday routine."

"question": "Q: I’ve found a boat I want to buy, what type of inspection do I need?",
"answer": "A: A Pre-Purchase inspection is designed to provide you with information so you can make an informed decision on the boat you are thinking of buying. It will cover structural, safety, mechanical, areas of operation and safe passenger numbers. A standard report is designed to cover most of what is needed but additional, more in depth analysis can be done as required. A: We are able to commence work generally within 1-2 days, depending upon our work load. Once the inspection is finished the report is compiled and generally available within 2-3 working days."

},
{
"question": "Q: My insurance company wants a survey, what do I need?",
"answer": "A: A Condition Report is the normal requirement which is similar to a Pre-Purchase inspection but more interested in points of an insurable nature. Some insurance companies will also require a valuation which can also be included for an additional charge."
},
{
"question": "Q: How much does it cost for a survey inspection?",
"answer": "A: Trailer boats and plate certification work is a fixed fee and for survey and inspection work we prefer to provide a quote. Other Pre-Purchase inspections are based on the size and type of construction of the vessel and quoted prior to commencement. They may also include other services such as non-destructive testing and valuations as required. We prefer to provide a fee proposal PRIOR to commencing work so you know what you are getting and what you are paying for. It’s unwise to pay too much. But it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money; that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better. There is hardly anything in the world that someone can’t make a little worse and sell a little cheaper – and people who consider price alone are this man’s lawful prey."

{

},
{
"question": "Is this true?",
"answer": "<Well, again- it depends what you're keeping. Plenty of people grow SPS corals with nothing but VHO, but in very shallow tanks. Again-for the anemone, I'd recommend halides> That would be 340w,which is 6w per 1g. I thought that 5w per 1g was sufficient for a successful tank. <Honestly, I don't think the \"watt per gallon\" rule is really applicable to reef tanks, at least in general. Thousands of watts of the wrong kind of lighting will be, to borrow an Anthony Calfo analogy- as useful as the keys to a thousand cars in an empty parking lot...It really depends on the animals that you intend to keep, and their specific needs. Utilize spectrum and wattage of lighting that is most appropriate> If you have any other suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. My budget is slightly limited. I'm looking to spend less than $300. Keep up the good work!!! !"

[
{
"question": "What are indications of progress in Sadhana?",
"answer": "1. Magnetism in personality ; sparkling eyes; force in speech; a glowing countenance; gravity and stability in expression. These qualities deeply impress everyone coming in contact with the devotee. People interacting with a devotee of Gayatri behave in conformity with his / her wishes. 2. The devotee feels a new celestial energy operating from within. 3. The devotee progressively loses interest in improper (sinful) activities. If, some wrong is inadvertently committed by him, he feels extremely repentant. He neither becomes elated on favorable happenings, nor loses equanimity while facing unfavorable circumstances. 4. If he curses someone on becoming deeply hurt, the adversary encounters great misfortune. 5. On the other hand,, his good wishes always result in the welfare of the concerned person. 6. He develops the faculty of thought reading. None can hide his shortcomings, covert actions and motives from the penetrating gaze of a Gayatri devotee. 7. He can communicate telepathically with people living far away. 8. The environment around him is very quiet and serene. People find unusual peace, purity and serenity in his presence. 9. When at the zenith of his progress, he can paranormally transfer a part of the spiritual energy (collected by him in course of his Sadhana through 'Tapascharya'), to any deserving individual, for which the latter need not make the required effort. This is called the process of 'Shaktipat' in yoga , which the Guru uses for grooming the best disciple as his successor. 10. While contemplating, during the waking hours or in course of meditation he may see e mission s of multi coloured lights, other para-normal lights or hear celestial sounds or words. These are some visible signs of progress in ' Sadhana ' Besides, the devotee acquires many paranormal capabilities, which are much beyond normal human experience, knowledge and resources."

"question": "If Snapdragon Profiler is recommended, why is Adreno Profiler still available?",
"answer": "Snapdragon Profiler requires Android 5.0 and a mobile device with a Snapdragon 805 or newer processor. If you are still using an older mobile device, use Adreno Profiler."
},
{
"question": "What are the system requirements for Adreno Profiler?",
"answer": "A PC running Windows 7 or Windows 8, Ubuntu 12.04+, or OS X with an Adreno 2xx, 3xx, or 4xx GPU device. For OpenGL ES emulation, your PC must support OpenGL 3.3 or greater for OpenGL ES 3.0 applications, or OpenGL 4.4 for OpenGL ES 3.1 and AEP applications. ADB must be in your system path."

{
"question": "Can Adreno Profiler provide CPU utilization, power, or other non-GPU performance metrics?",
"answer": "No, at this time Adreno Profiler can only provide performance information about the Adreno GPU. Adreno Profiler says it cannot find ADB."
},
{
"question": "What should I do?",

},
{
"question": "Why can’t Adreno Profiler find my OpenGL ES graphics application when I try to connect?",
"answer": "For OpenGL ES, your graphics application must create a context. We recommend opening Adreno Profiler, selecting Connect, and then starting your application on the device to help Adreno Profiler find your application. While we work hard to prevent it from happening, some devices do not ship with Adreno Profiler enabled. We recommend developers use the Nexus family of devices for their baseline graphics application profiling and debugging. When capturing a frame in Scrubber GL I receive a warning that OpenGL 3.3 is required."
},
{
"question": "What does this mean?",
"answer": "To render the frame on your PC, Adreno Profiler requires your PC to support all the same features that are supported on the mobile device. This warning is telling you that your PC does not support all of the required features and will not be able to render certain OpenGL ES features in your frame playback."
},
{
"question": "When will Adreno Profiler support Vulkan?",
"answer": "Since Snapdragon Profiler is replacing Adreno Profiler all of the Vulkan-related features are being added to it. It supports the following Vulkan performance profiling features: API Trace and rendering stages. Vulkan snapshot support will be available in a future Snapdragon Profiler update."

"question": "How Do I Choose Which Surveyor To Hire?",
"answer": "A Land Surveyor should never be chosen on price alone, remember the old saying, 'You get what you pay for'. Registered Land Surveyors vary in knowledge and ability, so choose a reputable firm that you can put your trust into - competency should be the number one factor. Professionals who are familiar with the locale of your property are usually more cost efficient than those who are not. Please visit our Services page for a description of the types of surveys that we provide. If you have a specific question regarding the type of survey you need please feel free to call our principal consultant."
},
{
"question": "How Much Will A Land Survey Cost?",
"answer": "Most often all the 'competent' Land Surveyors in your geographic area will have competitive rates. The cost to survey your property most often will not vary greatly by which Land Surveyor you choose to hire. The common practice of calling all of the surveyors in your area and getting quotes may actually inflate the cost of surveying your land. A Land Surveyor will always assume the worst possible situation, which may inaccurately reflect the cost of the survey. The best solution is to select your Land Surveyor based on his or her performance and reputation not the price estimate that he or she gives you on a survey. A Registered/Professional Land Surveyor can provide an estimation of costs with a little help from you. First you must provide the surveyor with as much information as you have regarding your property. This may include previous surveys, memories from the past, an abstract, or a copy of your Deed, which contains the legal description, so that they can offer an accurate estimate. Survey estimates can vary depending on a multitude of factors such as size of parcel, terrain, location, level of detail required, etc. making it difficult to estimate exact fees in advance. We do not provide costs per corner estimates. Instead, we invite you to come in and sit down with one of our surveyors. They can tailor a survey to meet your specific needs. The following is a list of various factors that can affect the cost of a survey. Type of Survey: Each type of survey requires a different scope. The cost of a survey may increase, because of the type of survey required. Research/Records Search: Land surveys require a search of the recorded documents involving a parcel of land and the parcels of land adjacent to it. This step can sometimes become complicated by the way past land transactions have been handled, often times resulting in incomplete, vague and in some cases contradictory land records and legal descriptions. It may even be possible that a parcel of land is not locatable based on the legal description alone. Shape and Size of Property: Rectangular parcels of land generally are cheaper to survey and have less corner monuments than do irregular shaped parcels containing the same amount of land. Sectionalized Survey Work: Depending on where your parcel is located, the surveyor may have to break down an entire one-mile section within which your parcel lies. In some cases when the parcel falls into multiple sections a survey of those sections will also be required. Existing Evidence on Property: Existing evidence such as iron monuments, fences and occupational lines, witness trees, etc. may help the surveyor “put the pieces of the puzzle together”. The absence of such evidence may make it more time consuming for the surveyor to retrace the original survey. Accessibility: The location of the parcel from our office plays a part in the amount of time that it takes to perform the survey work. This includes the distance to the site and any difficultly in reaching the Public Land Corners. Time of Year: In the winter, our work may go faster if water is involved since we can walk on it, but the amount of snow can adversely affect the time we have to spend searching for evidence. Summer time foliage can also present challenges and time constraints due to the inability to see through leaves. Vegetation: Parcels of land that are heavily covered with brush and trees are generally more expensive to survey than wide-open prairie. Record of Survey Plat: It may be required by law that a plat (drawing) be filed with the County Surveyor upon completion of the work in the field. When a record of survey plat is necessary, the cost of the survey will be increased to account for the time it takes a draftsman to generate a drawing on the computer after the field work is completed. A plat filing fee is also required by the county."

{
"question": "How Long Does It Take To Do A Land Survey?",
"answer": "Often times when the need of a survey arises, time is of the essence. The land might be immediately sold, utilities may need to be installed, or a home may need to be sited. The Land Surveyor must perform certain tasks before he can ever begin to set your boundary corners. First, the Deed needs to be received from you and the surveyor must research all available physical and non-physical information about your property. This usually includes acquiring the survey plats and deeds of adjacent properties from the county surveyor, \"tying in\" existing fences and corners and calculating your corner locations based on Land Surveying Law and Standard Practices. This process can generally be completed in one or two days, with the corners being set on the third or fourth day. This assumes that the surveyors scheduling allows him to start on your survey immediately."
},
{
"question": "Can A Land Surveyor Tell Me What I Own?",
"answer": "No. It is your responsibility as a client to furnish the Land Surveyor with a current title and legal description of your parcel of land."
},
{
"question": "How Can I Tell What Has Been Surveyed?",
"answer": "Land Surveyors will place an acceptable monument at your property corners bearing the Professional Land Surveyor's license number. A Record of Survey Plat will also be prepared showing where these monuments are located. On request, the surveyor can also point out the placement of corners on the ground."
},
{
"question": "How Do Conflicting Boundary and/or Easement Lines Occur?",
"answer": "Boundary line gaps and overlaps are often a result of legal descriptions, or previous surveys, that were performed without the benefit of a ‘competent’ Professional Land Surveyor. Another source of conflict can be misinformation given to the Land Surveyor, or the unavailability of certain information. However, if a conflicting boundary and/or easement does occur, it is possible to work through these problems using Land Surveyors as consultants and mediators. Land Surveyors have established certain standards of practice, which are acceptable in the profession. All competent Land Surveyors are familiar with these laws and standards of practice, therefore most all property disputes can be settled between Surveyors without requiring court action, or lawyers. Land Surveying professionals are proud of their profession and respect other Land Surveying Professionals. This respect aids greatly in settling land division conflicts."

{
"question": "Why have a Browlift & Blepharoplasty?",
"answer": "Often the outer eyebrows droop, causing a stern or harsh appearance. The brows fall below the bone causing a hooding over the outer eyelids. You will only notice the hooding when your eyebrows are relaxed."
},
{
"question": "Are there any other treatments that will improve my appearance and results?",
"answer": "Definitely! Good skin care with our hands-on expert aesthetician to evaluate and treat your skin along with our amazing skin care line products and will get your skin in optimal condition before surgery and maintain it afterwards. Our superb skin care products are chosen for your particular needs by our experienced aesthetician. She will first evaluate your skin and then recommend the proper care for you. A private Surgical Center with Board Certified Anesthesiologist or Bridgeport Hospital."
},
{
"question": "What will I need before surgery?",
"answer": "You may be asked to obtain a medical evaluation by your family physician and/or an eye exam by either your optometrist or ophthalmologist to ensure that you are healthy. You are gently put to sleep using general anesthesia so that you will be comfortable throughout the operation. Once asleep, I will place local anesthetic under the skin so that you will feel no discomfort. This will also minimize the amount of medicine you receive during the operation. By putting you to sleep your heart rate, blood pressure and levels of oxygen will be optimized. Rest assured that being asleep for hours is generally very safe, and the 5-5 ½ hours you sleep will be just fine."
},
{
"question": "Will smoking effect my healing?",
"answer": "I take my time and like to be meticulous. This means not rushing through your surgery. In addition, there are many things that must be done before the operation can even start, including washing and preparing the area, making sure that your body is well cushioned, and placing your legs into special boots in order to compress them during the surgery. Likewise, at the end of surgery I need to clean your face and apply a special dressing. I will also wait in recovery after the surgery to be certain that all is going well before I leave. The surgery itself lasts between 5- 5 ½ hours. The folds of skin and creases of the upper and lower lids will be smoothed out. Bulging pockets of fat will be softened and re-contoured to yield a refreshed and alert appearance. Your eyes will look much brighter than before. Likewise, the low lying eyebrows will be positioned to give you a wide awake and natural appearance. Usually, only the outer 1/2 – 2/3 of the brow is altered so that you will not have a frightened or abnormal appearance. The forehead may also be smoothed out so that you will no longer have the need to raise the brows up off your eyelids by wrinkling the forehead. The combined procedure will open up your eyes and give you a lovely separation between the brow and lids. Men, too, are benefited by the combined lift; however, the brow position is contoured and tailored specifically for males to leave a masculine and rested look. The scars are well hidden in the upper lid crease and just below the lower eyelashes. Often an invisible scar is placed inside the lower lid to remove unwanted fat. The browlift scars are in the hair-bearing temple regions of the face. The scars are a few inches long and have a curve to match the contour of your head."
},
{
"question": "Do you shave my head?",
"answer": "There is no need to shave the area. A fine strip of hair will be trimmed, but this is usually the area to be removed; so you will lose very little hair."
},
{
"question": "Will I have a noticeable bald area?",
"answer": "Although the cutting is between the hair follicles to allow growth over the scar, there are occasions where the hair does not grow sufficiently. However, the surrounding hair is usually sufficient to cover the scar."
},
{
"question": "How long will I wear a bandage?",
"answer": "At the end of surgery I will place paper strips along the upper lid and across the outer lower lids. These will support the lids and keep the sutures clean. When you awaken in recovery you will have a cotton pad over the lids for 30 minutes to keep the swelling to a minimum. I will then remove the pads while you have something to eat and drink. Your head will be wrapped with a soft comfortable dressing for 24 hours. You will be instructed to remove it the next day. The paper strips on the lids are best left alone. You will have clips in the scalp to support the skin and afford a better scar. These clips are washed in the shower with shampoo, cleaned with a q-tip and peroxide and then covered with a very thin layer of antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin). At times you may need to place a gauze pad or sanitary napkin over the clips if there is any oozing. This takes place during the first few days after surgery, if necessary. You can usually shower the day after surgery; however, it is best to not let the water hit your face. Baths, hot tubs, and steam rooms are not a good idea for 3 weeks after surgery to keep your swelling down. Washing your hair the day after surgery is perfectly fine, but you must either towel dry the area gently or use a hair dryer on the cool setting. Use no heat to the area for 2 weeks."
},
{
"question": "When can I get my hair colored?",
"answer": "Coloring your hair a week prior to the surgery and 3-4 weeks afterwards is fine. If there are any small open areas in the scalp you may have to wait a bit longer after surgery to recolor."
},
{
"question": "Will my lids or forehead hurt?",
"answer": "Generally, there is minimal discomfort. You may note snugness where the extra skin was, but there should be very mild or no discomfort. A prescription to help alleviate pain, should it arise, will be given before surgery. Occasionally there is mild discomfort over the temple area for the first two nights. This is easily relieved with the pain medicines supplied."
},
{
"question": "When can I resume activities?",
"answer": "It is best to relax for the first 7-10 days. Bruising is variable and usually located around the lids. Seeing your best friends after 10 days is fine, but I would wait at least 2 weeks before meeting new acquaintances. After 2 weeks you will look presentable. After 3 weeks you will look much better than before surgery, but you still have another 3-4 weeks for 50% of the swelling to subside. It is not a good idea to exercise or increase your heart rate for 3 weeks from the time of surgery. This will help to diminish your swelling and improve the rate at which you heal."
},
{
"question": "What can I do to expedite my healing?",
"answer": "We will give you a set of guidelines that explains what medicines to stay away from and which vitamins to take. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your presence for weeks. Using ice often, resting, maintaining a low salt diet and having a positive attitude all go a long way in assisting in your recovery. Depending upon the combination of surgeries, you will re-visit the office within 4-8 days. There will be multiple visits (which are included in your care) to evaluate your progress and support your healing needs."
},
{
"question": "Are there any additional fees to what was quoted?",
"answer": "Occasionally the surgery takes a bit longer (as there is never a rush), but you may owe an additional fee for the operating room and anesthesia. However, if future surgery or procedures are necessary, there will be additional fees for anesthesia, the operating room and the surgeon."

For Post 1998 JDM Subaru's I found the 30710 ISO has those models (I'm not sure until what year though but I was able to lookup some BE5/BH5 models and EJ207 WRX/STi). *Note I haven't found a genuine \"JDM solution\" to lookup parts without using the Japanese version. You cannot use JDM ISOs in any English version I've tried (if someone finds otherwise or solution please let me know). I tried to use the Japanese it but couldn't get it to work (beyond entering a JDM chassis # and getting the basic engine/model info). I think the tool expects Japanese characters to be used when searching or perhaps with the lack of English I'm doing something wrong lol. If anyone has any issues with it don't be shy to ask I've been using it for awhile, also after your done choosing your parts to get the \"dealer Part #\" go to tools at the top and click translate.

"question": "What To Expect When You Have Diabetes?",
"answer": "Living with diabetes can be very difficult if you do not know how to properly take care of yourself. There are certain things that you can do to live a more productive life, even if you have diabetes. The tips below will provide you with a little guidance to help you to understand diabetes. If you suffer from diabetes it is a good idea to enlist the help of a qualified, registered dietician. The American Diabetes Association advises that all individuals with diabetes consult with a nutritional counsellor. A dietician will help you to understand how different foods affect your blood sugar and can create a healthy eating plan based on your needs. You should watch what you eat. Your diet makes a huge difference in how your diabetes is managed. Cut out sugary drinks like soda and anything with refined carbs like junk foods and candy. You should try to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Also, choose healthy foods that contain fat. If you have diabetes, it can be difficult to go out to eat. Search menus ahead of time to plan your meal properly. If a menu is not available online, you can stop by the restaurant ahead of time and ask for a copy, or you can call and have it read to you by phone. Knowing what the restaurant serves will help you to become more prepared for how you can eat healthy at the restaurant. If your loved one, whether they are a family member or friend, has diabetes, it is up to you to make sure they are getting the care that they need. Often times, people that have diabetes will not take care of themselves without proper support from the people most important to them in their lives. Most artificial sweeteners such as acesulfame potassium (Sunett), aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal), saccharin (Sweet’N Low) and sucralose (Splenda) are fine for people with diabetes. They will not raise your blood glucose levels. However, be aware that sugar alcohols (manitol, sorbitol and xylitol) can raise you blood glucose levels and for some people, cause diarrhoea. Develop a health care team to help you manage your diabetes. This should include your primary care doctor, a hormone specialist to help with your insulin, a registered dietician to help you with your new diet, an eye doctor to keep a close eye on your vision, a foot doctor to pay close attention to your feet and a good dentist. This team should work together to keep you healthy. Check your blood sugar levels regularly. It is possible to have dangerously high or low blood sugar without showing any symptoms. Having a persistently high blood sugar count can cause you to have an increased risk of developing kidney failure, circulation problems, heart disease stroke, and even blindness. Make sure you keep a record of your numbers as well, to watch for trends and sugar spikes. To keep your blood sugar levels from spiking, research high glycemic index foods. If you’re not knowledgeable about what ingredients you should avoid, you may consume something harmful without realizing it. If you need to eat something quickly and don’t have time to look it up, stick to non-processed foods. If you’re overweight, diabetes prevention may hinge on your weight loss. Every pound you lose can improve your health and work toward controlling or even preventing your diabetes. Watch your calorie intake, exercise daily, and start to lose weight. You will be on your way to a positive new start. As a diabetes sufferer, it is important to know about the latest medical advancements. New medical advancements mean that there could be new treatments for diabetes in the near future. Be sure to ask your doctor about any new treatments that may arise and see if you qualify for them. The steps that have been provided should be a great starting point for your diabetic journey. It is possible to live a somewhat normal life, even with diabetes, if you take control of the situation and make the correct choices, right away. Only you can control your journey with diabetes."

},
{
"question": "Why do I need to send a thank-you letter before my scholarship is added to my student account?",

},
{
"question": "Will I receive a check in the mail or will the scholarship be put on my student account?",

"answer": "Yes, if you receive a scholarship from the MCC Foundation, you are a MCCF scholar. Please let the MCC Foundation know when you fill out your graduation paperwork.

{
"question": "## I do not have access to my email, how can I reset the password?",
"answer": "We verify the ownership of an account through the associated email-address. This means that you must have access to the email account which was used to register the account with in order to reset the password.

This will be displayed as Parental Lock on the client. If you do not have Two-Factor Authentication set up on your account, it is very likely GeoLock - in which case the PIN will be sent to the email-address associated with your account. If it is Two-Factor Authentication, the PIN is generated through an application as you should have set up when enabling the authenticator. Read [FAQ: Two-Factor Authentication](https://lightshope.org/faqs/faq-two-factor-authentication) for more details. ## My account is closed/suspended Please read through [FAQ: My account is banned / closed / suspended! ](https://lightshope.org/faqs/faq-account-suspended-closed) and check your ban-status at [the ban status page on our control panel](https://lightshope.org/account/ban-status) for further details on how to proceed, or appeal your suspension."

"question": "Registered, but why am I still invisible in the neighbours list?",
"answer": "meNeighbour.com is a neighbour oriented and privacy respected network. Your profile defines what details of your profile would be visible to your searching friends or neighbours and what search radius your profile would be found in a user search. Hence, it is very important to set your user profile with your desired privacy settings as soon as you register and activate your account. Until you define these privacy settings, your account profile will be invisible to your neighbours hence it will not be found in a neighbour search."
},
{
"question": "Why is it not allowing me to reduce the search radius once increased?",
"answer": "Once your search radius is increased and your connections are established in your neighbourhood or search radius, it would be difficult to control the settings and revert the established friend connections to a reduced radius. Once you increase the search radius for your profile, it can not be reduced to earlier/lower one."

"question": "Who is electrolysis best for?",
"answer": "Electrolysis works for all colors of hair and skin colors and can be done on any part of the face or body safely and effectively. There is no one-time solution for hair removal. Whether you choose to do IPL Hair Reduction or electrolysis, a series of treatments will be required. We cannot tell you the number of treatments or an estimate as to how many treatments you would need because hair growth is based on hormones and individual factors. Please contact us if you have any questions."

{
"question": "I have had numerous Laser and/or IPL hair reduction treatments but I did not notice a change or did not achieve the results I was oping for, why is that?",
"answer": "Laser or IPL Hair Reduction can permanently reduce the overall number of hairs on light skin with coarse dark hair. Many patients will have a 20-80% reduction of hair growth after completing their series of treatments. Since hair growth varies from patient to patient and is based on hormones, heredity, medications and other individual factors, there is no way to tell how much hair will be reduced. To get 100% removal you will need to do electrolysis. Electrolysis and Skin Care Clinic is conveniently located on the corner of Beacon St. and Powell St. at 1170 Beacon Street in Brookline, MA."
},
{
"question": "What if I am late to my appointment?",
"answer": "At Electrolysis & Skin Care Clinic, our patients are our number one priority. We ask that you arrive a few minutes early for your appointment and leave ample amount of time for travel and parking. LATE ARRIVAL: If you are late for your appointment, you will be charged for the full time of your appointment, even if the time of your appointment has elapsed and services were not performed. CANCELLATION POLICY: We ask that you give the practice a 24 hour notice if you wish to cancel or change your appointment. If you fail to do so, you will be charged the price of your appointment time; or, if you are using a voucher, one treatment will be subtracted for every missed appointment. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to check-in, fill out any appropriate paperwork and make sure to leave ample amount of time for parking to prepare for your service. We appreciate your consideration."

"question": "Why did Greensgrow choose to partner with PFW?",
"answer": "We have been working with Dylan and his team for years, and know that they share the same commitment to local farmers and food that we do. After all, that’s why the Farm Share program was created - to get more money directly to local farmers. PFW allows us to grow our impact, keeping those producers we have worked with for years in the family, and growing a stronger local food economy for everyone.

All of our food is grown using organic methods. It is entirely free of hormones, antibiotics, GMOs and almost entirely without pesticides. Some of our producers are certified organic, but some are not. We’ve made a commitment first and foremost to farmers in the Mid-Atlantic. We decided to choose producers based on our own calibration of standards. The official organic certification is too costly for many of our producers, even though they abide by the same practices. Our approach involves talking with every farmer and discussing their growing practices. We ask questions that are key components to other certifications such as G.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practices) and Naturally Certified Organic (USDA Organic Certification alternative). All of the fruit we sell is grown using IPM (Integrated Pest Management). It is a farming process in which farmers use as little spray as possible and do what they can to cultivate a strong presence of “good” bugs. All of our meat and dairy is pasture raised with no hormones or antibiotics. All of the grazing animals are 100% grass fed. We cannot officially call our farmers organic, but we do trust that the farmers we work with raise crops that are healthy for them, their farm and anyone who consumes the food they raise."

},
{
"question": "Why are you making this change?",
"answer": "No! Greensgrow is still alive and growing, and we are proactively building partnerships with other organizations and businesses to become a stronger and more resilient farm for the future. This partnership allows us to keep the Farm Share as an active part of Greensgrow without taking on all the expense and stress of operating it each week. Plus it will even further reduce our environmental footprint by consolidating transportation and marketing to more efficiently run the program. We’re excited about the opportunity to re-focus on our sites and the long-term sustainability of the farm so we can continue to be a part of your neighborhood for years to come. Philly Foodworks (PFW) is a local company that grew its roots urban farming in Philadelphia. They saw a need for a better distribution system for local food and in 2014 moved off the farm and into a warehouse in North Philly to begin building a first class retail system for local food. They work with over 75 local producers and help producers sell their food as well as build capacity and sustainability in their business. PFW offers more than 500 local items in its online market—including produce, dairy, bread, meats, prepared foods, pantry items, home and beauty products. They have more than 60 pick-up sites throughout the city, plus the option for home delivery. For more information about PFW and their commitment to local farmers - or their products and services - visit their website or email [email protected]."
},
{
"question": "What will my share look like?",
"answer": "PFW has created three share types that closely mimic the unique Greensgrow products that you have come to know and love. Greensgrow Small Subscription: 5-7 varieties of fruits and vegetables. Approximately $30/delivery depending on the exact selection of produce. Greensgrow Meat + Produce Subscription: 7-10 varieties of fruits and vegetables + one package of meat (beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey). Approximately $45/delivery depending on the exact selection of produce and meat. This pricing model brings your overall share cost to within $2 of what you signed up for at Greensgrow, depending on your protein selection, with greater flexibility. There also won’t be gaps between winter and summer anymore, so you can have fresh local food delivered 52 weeks a year! You will also be able to add items to your order a la carte through their online marketplace which stocks over 500 locally produced items. Philly Foodworks allows members to opt out of a regular subscription and only order items a la carte. For more information on how to do this please reach out to [email protected]. *NOTE* If you selected butter or chocolate milk as your protein, it was not added to your subscription. Philly Foodworks do not regularly carry chocolate milk and PFW butter comes in larger containers that would have been priced to high for the share. However, you can order these items whenever you want from the online market!"

Please leave behind your box and cold sleeves or bring them the back the following week so they can be reused."
},
{
"question": "What if I ordered an add-on share like cheese, bread, or coffee?",

{

Anyone who has not opted out by that November 26 will be assumed to be signed up for their original winter share for delivery the following week.

If you are not yet a member, when you create and account with Philly Foodworks you will be prompted to enter a credit card. You will then have the option to transfer funds directly into your account or be billed before pickup each week. Make sure to use the code “GG” when you sign up to get an extra $15 credited to your account! Please include the email address for the account in the memo field.

If you have already signed up for the Winter Farmshare as a workshare member, we can transfer or refund your payments like any other member at your discretion if we do not find a workshare option."

[
{
"question": "When filling in a PDF programmatically, how can I show check marks instead of cross checks?",
"answer": "I have an existing PDF that I am filling in programmatically (C#). There are check boxes on the form that should be rendered as a check mark when selected, but instead they are visualized as a cross symbol. I don't think setting the property would have any effect as already set to this in the PDF."
},
{
"question": "How can I get a check mark instead of the cross?",
"answer": "You didn't mention if you are creating the form, or if you are filling out an existing form, so I'll show you both cases. What checkbox_in_cell2.pdf will look like, depends on the behavior of the PDF viewer. This has already caused a lot of confusion. In the second screen shot, the appearance that is stored as the real appearance of the field is shown. This is the most correct appearance. The other appearance (in the first screen shot) is created by the viewer and could look different in different viewers (hence the already mentioned confusion). When you flatten a form, you take away all interactivity. In the case of check boxes, one of the appearances stored in the PDF will be kept (and displayed); the other one will be thrown away. As you can see, the check mark looks like a check mark. I have 20 AcroForm text fields in my pdf with different color fill properties. I'm not able to read these properties."
},
{
"question": "Is there any way we can get color information from the fields?",
"answer": "I essentially just need to be able to specify where the table starts on the page (so it wouldn't overlap the existing content) and then stamp the table onto the existing PDF."

|
[
{
"question": "We don't want either of those so we bust our butts and get the jobs done, right?",
"answer": "When you're pressured to do something, you get critical on every little step you're supposed to take, and you're evaluating everything that needs to be done. If you can break down everything you need to do, you will know what needs to be done and when to do it. You should be evaluating everything before you start to feel the pressure. If you can do this, you won't usually hit crunch time and have to do the majority of the work in a few days when you had a few weeks to finish it. You need to understand that you might run into problems, which means you will have to invest more time into the work than anticipated, and this is a different type of pressure. You're not constrained by time, but you might have just broken an entire website scripting, and now you need to fix it before everyone starts calling you. If you aren't sure how to do something, when the deadlines are, what to do, etc. then ask questions and be sure you know what's going on. When I worked as a bartender and would help out with banquets, I would always ask questions like \"When does the room need to be ready by?\" or \"How many tables need to go in Room A, Room B, and Room C?\" and in time the whole process changed because the managers would have everything written out and planned for us. If you feel pressured at work, you're going to feel pressured through your daily life, because it happens with everyone. I know how this feels because I pressure myself to write 10 articles a day for my websites, and that means I need to do 70 a week in total, but my goals are to write 30 a week. I pressure myself so I easily hit my goals and overachieve, but if I don't hit my unrealistic goals of 70 then I hit my normal one of 30 and I'm still satisfied. Good tips. Thank you. I also agree with you that we do work under pressure well since we have no choice but to go through it. Exactly. We should know how to deal to work under pressure. It is one of the inevitable things in reality. It always comes even in the most unexpected time, but we shouldn't let pressure eat us and instead we must stay calm, do the necessary solutions and trust your self. Do not ever let stress or pressure consume you because in the end it will make the situation even worst than it is. This article's tips are good and helpful. Try it. Good tips. Thank you! clicker heroes online. I agree with you completely. Working under the press is very hard. First of all, productivity suffers. Sometimes you don’t have enough time to do your job on time. In such cases, I use various means to speed up the work. For example, if I need to quickly write an essay, then I purchase essay online FastEssay . Professionals work there and I always get work done on time."

"question": "Is a “simple will” appropriate in most circumstances?",
"answer": "A very basic will or a “simple” will may omit very important provisions if it does not provide for alternate beneficiaries, or alternative executors. A very simple will may neglect to waive the need for surety bond for the executor, or it may fail to give powers to the executor that are not otherwise conferred by state law. A very simple will often fails to name guardians for minor children, both their person and their estates. Part of the role of an estate planning attorney is to ask important questions, and to enable the individual and/or couple to plan for contingencies that they have not yet contemplated."
},
{
"question": "How do I revoke a Power of Attorney?",
"answer": "A Power of Attorney can be revoked, but should be revoked in writing with a copy of the revocation given to the former agent, and all banks, financial institutions or other entities in possession of the POA. If the principal is unable to sign a written revocation, the revocation should be done in the presence of at least two witnesses, who can attest to the revocation."
},
{
"question": "Does a Power of Attorney expire?",
"answer": "A Power of Atttorney can expire by its terms, upon the occurrence of a event, or a date certain. A Power of Attorney will also expire upon the death of the principal. A Durable Power of Attorney will survive the incompetence or incapacity of the principal."
},
{
"question": "How can I avoid probate in Illinois?",
"answer": "Avoidance of probate can be accomplished by the execution of a valid pour-over will and revocable trust. Placing accounts in joint tenancy or payable-on-death to a named beneficiary can also be a method by which probate can be avoided. Real estate placed in a land trust will also result in the property being passed to descendants outside of probate."
},
{
"question": "Can a person under guardianship execute a will?",
"answer": "In Illinois, a person who has been adjudicated a disabled person CAN execute a will if that individual is found to have testamentary capacity. Additionally, pursuant to 755 ILCS 5/11a- 18, a guardian of a disabled person may petition the court for authority and approval of the creation of a irrevocable or revocable trusts for the ward, or approval of modifications by means of codicil or trust amendment, the terms of the ward’s will or recovable trust, because of changes in applicable tax laws."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take to administer an estate?",
"answer": "Depending on the issues presented, it can take anywhere from 6 months to years to administer an estate. If all assets are collected, and claims paid, after the claims filing period has expired, the final account can be prepared, the estate closed and distribution made. If one of the assets of the estate is real estate which needs to be sold in order to pay claims, and make specific bequests, then the period of administration may be significantly longer. If there is a will contest filed, then the litigation needs to proceed prior to finalizing administration of the estate. Finally, if beneficiaries or legatees are not in agreement with the final account, then additional time may be required in order to settle controversies prior to closing the estate."
},
{
"question": "How is property divided if there is no will?",
"answer": "If a decedent dies without a will (intestate), then the assets pass by the rules of descent and distribution in that particular jurisdiction."
},
{
"question": "What happens in an insolvent estate?",
"answer": "If there are insufficient assets in a decedent’s estate to pay claims and expenses, then the estate is insolvent. Documentation of the lack of assets will be need to be given to all creditors of debts held by the decedent individually, and the debts will be extinquished – although in most cases, reluctantly."

[
{
"question": "Why is my CSV file not downloading?",
"answer": "A CSV file can be electronically imported into most professional tax accounting software, thus eliminating the majority of the manual data entry and saving considerable time for you or your tax preparer. Any client (or their tax preparer) who receives a Consolidated Tax Statement (Forms 1099-DIV, -INT, -OID, -B and -MISC) will be able to download the tax data into a CSV file (note: you do not need to be registered for Baird Online to download into a CSV file). You will need your Account Number and unique Document ID, which can be found on your Baird 2018 Tax Statements. Your Account Number and unique Document ID are located on page 1 of your Baird 2018 Tax Statement. Yes, you will receive a separate Baird Tax Statement for each reportable account held at Baird. You will need to download multiple CSV files using each separate Account Number and unique Document ID. Remember to save each CSV file to your computer using a unique file name. Only the IRS numbered box totals of Forms 1099-DIV, -INT and -MISC of the Baird Tax Statement will be included in the CSV file."
},
{
"question": "What information from Forms 1099-B will be downloaded into a CSV file?",
"answer": "Each detailed transaction listed on Forms 1099-B from the Baird Tax Statement will be included in the CSV file including: short-term covered, short-term noncovered, long-term covered, long-term noncovered and undetermined term. Please carefully review Forms 1099-B for any Undetermined Term transactions (e.g., missing cost basis and/or missing acquisition date) as these items will require manual adjustment to properly reflect on your tax return(s)."
},
{
"question": "What information from Forms 1099-OID will be downloaded into a CSV file?",
"answer": "The applicable IRS box totals of Forms 1099-OID for each security from the Baird Tax Statement will be included in the CSV file. The “Reconciliations, Fees, Expenses and Expenditures” (e.g., paid, margin interest, partnership distributions) section on page 2 of the Baird Tax Statement will not be included in the CSV file. Regulated Futures Contracts (e.g., section 1256 contracts) from Form 1099-B boxes 8, 9, 10 and 11 are not supported by the CSV file download. Amounts that are designated as “noncovered\" or \"lots not reported\" in the \"Original Issue Discount and Adjustments” section on page 2 are not supported by the CSV file download. The section designated by \"The following amounts are not reported to the IRS\" located beneath the 1099-INT on page 2 of the Baird Tax Statement will not be included in the CSV file. Form 1099-R and Form 1090-Q will not be included in the CSV download. The items listed above must be manually entered into professional tax accounting software as they are not supported in a CSV file download.

Undetermined Term transactions will download partially but will require manual adjustment to properly reflect on your tax return(s). The items listed above are not intended to be all inclusive. The printed Baird Tax Statement is the official 1099 record and you should verify that your federal and/or state tax return(s) include all of the items shown on the printed Baird Tax Statement.

Generally, the Tax Statements will be mailed: February 15 (for Wave I accounts), March 1 (for Wave II accounts), and March 15 (for Wave III accounts). It is important to note that the CSV file download on March 15 will contain the tax-related data for both the Baird Tax Statement and the Baird REMIC/WHFIT Tax Statement combined. See rwbaird.com/taxes for additional information regarding the Baird 2018 Tax Statement Mailing Dates. It depends on the professional tax accounting software being used and how it accommodates corrected tax data.

All students -no matter their nationality- who are either enrolled or admitted as prospective students at HU may apply. I will study abroad next semester as part of my study."
},
{
"question": "Can I apply?",
"answer": "During the time that you are abroad on a study-related exchange semester you may choose whether to receive the scholarship or pause the payments. If you decide on the latter, the scholarship will be extended for the paused period of time after your return to HU. You are obliged to notify the Deutschlandstiependium-Team as soon as your semester abroad is confirmed. If one studies abroad via the ERASMUS Program, the Humboldt Scholarship payments will also continue, even when one simultaneously receives a student mobility allowance from the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutschen Akademischen Austauschdienst –DAAD) as a scholarship holder. Please note that you can only apply for the Deutschlandstipendium if you are in the standard period of study or if you can give reasons why you exceed the standard period of study. These include, for example, a study-related stay abroad or the education of a child. Detailed information on the maximum funding period can be found out in § 7 of the scholarship program law. Yes, as long as the master's degree is consecutive to the previous bachelor's course. Please specify the \"probable end of study\" as the time at which you acquire your master’s degree. In addition, you have to note that the funding should also refer to your master's programin the box \"Comments\" . Yes, you can apply. Please enter your high school/ BA grade in the application form and submit your high school / BA certificate as proof of achievement. Please additionally submit an AGNES-Leistungsnachweis and a proof of the examination office with your current GPA (Leistungsspiegel) - even if they are \"empty\". Please enter \"0\" in the form under \"Academic performance to date\" and make a note in the box \"Comments\". There you can also make a note of your previous achievements or point out your expected achievements. If you are in the first semester of your studies and still have no exam results, we still need the empty AGNES-Leistungsnachweis and the proof from the examination office with a GPA (even if there are no grades yet). A double funding by another scholarship foundation for gifted students (even if you only receive book money) is excluded. By the law, only a financial funding is allowed, which does not exceed 29.99 euros / month.

{
"question": "minor/ subsidiary) as well?",
"answer": "According to the guideline of the HU for the Deutschlandstipendium (PDF) (§ 4, Abs. 2) the application can only be made for the first subject and not for the second subject. No, students of the Charité have their own scholarship program at the Charité."
},
{
"question": "Can I reapply again in the following year after a refusal?",
"answer": "Yes. A refusal does not mean that one will be rejected “forever”. One may reapply again as long as you are within your standard period of time. No, the income does not affect the scholarship and the scholarship will have no impact on the BAföG or the accomodation allowance. No, the Deutschlandstipendium does not affect the child allowance. Yes. The Humboldt Scholarship is taken into account on the maintenance allowance. Students (18+) are expected to cover expenses from their own funds before asserting claims against their parents. The Humboldt Scholarship counts as part of your own income. This depends on the amount and type of the scholarship funding. Generally: A double funding by another Scholarship Foundation for gifted students (even if you only receive book money) is excluded. By the law, only a financial funding is allowed, which does not exceed 29.99 euros / month. Due to the fact that the DAAD carries out various means of support, these are to be reviewed individually. The following counts for guidance: Mobility allowance is not in competition with the Humboldt Scholarship. Should support for living costs be granted additionally, and the amount exceed 30 Euros per month, then the Humboldt Scholarship cannot be received during this period. Basically, a “suspension of payment” is only possible for scholarships that are already in effect. In these cases, payment after the DAAD-promotion can be resumed until the end of the authorized period, provided that one continues one’s previously pursued study program at the HU. Study-related internships (Pflichtpraktikum)it will by the way also be paid during study-related internships abroad. I was abroad as part of a ERASMUS- or DAAD-Programme."
},
{
"question": "Does this count as double funding ?",
"answer": "No. However please make a note in the box \"Comments\" in the application form. Yes, applications may be submitted in English or German. However, applications in other languages than German or English will not be accepted. Please also make sure to have your certificates translated if they are not written in English or German. For questions, problems, corrections, etc. please write an e-mail to [email protected]. Please fill in the degree you will acquire next (if you are in the bachelor's degree program, fill in \"B.A./B.Sc./...\", if you already study in the master's degree, fill in \"M.A./M.Sc./...\"). First degree is the first completed degree until the first consecutive master. A consecutive master's program does not count as a second degree. A second degree is a completely new, further study, which is taken after successful completion of another study. Master's degree programmes that follow a bachelor's degree are not included. If you are studying two master's degrees at the same time, then the last started master course counts as a second study. You can see the current status of your ECTS credit points in the AGNES-online exam service. You will receive the GPA in your respective examination office. Yes, please submit your high school certificate, even if you already have a university degree. Can I apply for different Humboldt Scholarships of HU (i.e."
},
{
"question": "single scholarship, Themenklassen-scholarship etc.)?",
"answer": "Yes, you can apply for several Humboldt Scholarships at the same time. Please indicate in the application form which scholarships you would like to apply for. Applying for a scholarship in a Themenklasse requires, in addition to the usual application documents, the solved task. Details can be found on the website \"Application\" of the Humboldt Scholarship of the HU. Application documents must be submitted in full by December 17, 2018. The required task/essay for a Themenklassen-scholarships must be submitted by January 10, 2019. No. A letter of recommendation is not required. Please enter \"0\" for \"Academic performance to date - mono / core subject (ECTS-/ Credit points)\" and \"Current grade point average (calculated by the Examination Office)\".

Please explain in the field \"Comments\" that it is the \"provisional\" grade and that you will submit the final grade as soon as possible. No. Please fill in the form only once and check which scholarships you would like to apply for (multiple choice is possible). If you are applying for a single scholarship, a Themenklasse-scholarship, a HUG Humboldt Scholarship for Climate Impact Research, you must submit the online form and the required documents by 17 December 2018. The solution of the task/essay for can be submitted until 10 January 2019. Here you can find the directive (guideline of the HU for the Deutschlandstipendium (PDF)) regarding the Humboldt Scholarship."
},
{
"question": "Who decides on who will receive scholarships?",
"answer": "The selection committees of HU decide on who will receive scholarships. Social and/or political commitment (e.g. in higher education policy, in religious communities or political organisations and the effort in the social environment) are taken into account. The paid work as a tutor qualifies as an occupation and provides no advantages with respect to other applicants. Generally, paid work does not count as social commitment. Also interships are usually not considered as social commitment. On the other hand, one can continue to pursue paid tutoring activities/work alongside the Humboldt Scholarship. Yes, you can apply for an extension if possible or you can apply for the scholarship again after one year. All informations about the scholarships can be found online http://deutschlandstipendium.hu-berlin.de/. During a leave of absence (Urlaubssemester) from studies, e.g. because of maternity protection, parental leave or illness, the scholarship will not be paid. With the continuation of the study, the period of approval is extended by the duration of the leave of absence."
},
{
"question": "Can I receive the scholarship during a leave of absence if I am doing an internship from which my studies benefit?",
"answer": "Here, a distinction must be made between obligatory internships (Pflichtpraktikum) in Humboldt and abroad or other internships. Obligatory internships are integrated into the studies and hence do not affect the scholarship. If you want to take a leave of absence for other internships that are not obligatory (freiwilliges Praktikum) in your studies, the scholarship will not be paid during this period. The scholarship will also be paid during a study related exchange year. Provided that you are abroad for the duration of the grant. No matter whether you are on leave of absence (Urlaubssemester) at the HU during this time or not. If you study abroad with the ERASMUS program, the Humboldt Scholarship will continue to be paid even if you receive a mobility grant from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) at the same time. Yes, for example when receiving another scholarship that can not be obtained at the same time as the Humboldt Scholarship. When changing to another university for the same studies programme, you will be granted a transitional semester (within the approved eligibility period). Hence the scholarship will be paid for one semester. This gives the student the opportunity to apply for a Humboldt scholarship at the new university. Otherwise, the scholarship ends at the end of the month in which the scholarship holder has left his studies, has changed his subject or is exmatriculated. The Humboldt Scholarship is tax-free and will according to §5 section. 3 StipG i.d.R. not be calculated as income with social benefits. Consequently, the Humboldt Scholarship does not represent any kind of paid compensation for a particular occupation and is – as are all other comparable scholarships as well – not to be considered as pay. No, the Humboldt scholarship has no impact on the statutory health insurance, as long as the scholarship holder is covered by compulsory insurance in the statutory health insurance (usually until the end of the 14th semester or the 30th year of life). The situation is different if the scholarship holder is (subsequently) insured as a voluntary member. For voluntary members, the legislator has prescribed the levying of minimum contributions. Thus, the contributions are calculated on the basis of a tax base of currently 875 euros. If the contributory income of the insured (including scholarships) exceeds this value, the corresponding income is subject to a contribution. No. Humboldt scholarship holders do not have to pay back their scholarship. No, there are no direct obligations associated to the awarding of the scholarship. At the ceremonial awarding of certificates, there will be an exclusive gathering with the respective sponsors. An appearance at this event is especially welcomed in order to encourage the exchange between donors, students and university and to guarantee the expansion of the scholarship program."

{
"question": "What do I do if I want the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens?",
"answer": "The AcrySof Toric intraocular lens is a foldable, astigmatism correcting, single piece lens that an eye surgeon implants during cataract surgery to replace the clouded lens. The unique design of the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens makes it possible to reduce or eliminate corneal astigmatism and significantly improve uncorrected distance vision. AcrySof Toric lens provides quality distance vision, significantly reducing or eliminating the dependence on eyeglasses and contact lenses. No, the natural lens of a young person changes shape to produce a change in focus. As a person ages the natural lens becomes more rigid and the eye is unable to focus at both near and distance without glasses. Lens implants do not change shape. The AcrySof Toric intraocular lens corrects corneal astigmatism, while the natural lens of the eye does not. Sometimes, the surface of the cornea is curved more like a football, with both flatter and steeper curves. When the surface of the cornea has an uneven curvature, vision becomes distorted. This common irregularity, called “corneal astigmatism,” causes blurred or distorted vision because light rays are not focused at one spot to provide clear vision. Toric intraocular lens may be recommended if the patient has astigmatism and wishes to decrese their dependency on glasses. A person who has both a cataract and a corneal astigmatism will not regain high-quality distance vision after cataract surgery unless the astigmatism is corrected by laser. Implantation of an AcrySof Toric intraocular lens is associated with all the risks and side effects of cataract surgery. These will be explained separately. In addition, certain side effects are more likely with the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens than a conventional intraocular lens. The AcrySof Toric intraocular lens may not correct all of the astigmatism, but should correct most of it. It is also possible that the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens may rotate after surgery, requiring repositioning in the operating room. Sometimes it may not be possible to rotate the lens into the correct position. It also may over-correct astigmatism. We hope so, but we can’t guarantee it. You are paying for the service and the intraocular lens, not the result. Our goal is to achive the best possible outcome. However, glasses may be required for certain activities. If you opt to receive a conventional lens you will need glasses after surgery. If you receive the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens there is a good chance, but no guarantee, you won’t need glasses for distance vision. You will still need glasses for reading."
},
{
"question": "Why don’t you recommend the toric lens for patients who have had refractive surgery?",
"answer": "Lens power calculation is not very accurate at this time in eyes that have had corneal refractive surgery. Precise power calculation is essential to good outcomes with the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens. We will prescribe glasses to optimize your vision. You may also elect to wear contact lenses or have additional refractive surgery. These entities pay for surgery and devices that restore functional vision. They will not pay for services that reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses. While Medicare and insurance will cover the cost of a standard lens implant, they will not pay for the “portion” of an advanced technology implant that reduces or eliminates astigmatism. No. The decision needs to be made prior to cataract surgery. Yes. There are no disadvantages to only having one eye done with the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens if only one eye is affected by corneal astigmatism. Recovery from cataract surgery is the same whether you receive a conventional lens or the AcrySof Toric intraocular lens. We would like you to decide at the time of your scheduled preoperative visit. We need 7 days to order the lens implant. Need to be appropriate pre-op diagnostic tests completed to select the best lens power. You should tell one of our office staff. They will have you sign a Non-covered Service Waiver next to a bold YES. If you don’t want the lens, you will sign the Non-covered Service Waiver next to a bold NO."

{
"question": "Do I have to leave the back rest on all the time, or can it be removed?",
"answer": "Your backrest is easy to put on and take off, as it affixes onto bars moulded into the kayak with quick release clips. To prolong the life of your backrest, we recommend that you remove it, rinse it out after each use and store out of the sun. Australis backrests attach to bars moulded into the kayak, where other sit-on-top kayaks have saddles attached."
},
{
"question": "Why the difference?",
"answer": "There are 2 reasons why we use bars moulded into the kayak rather than saddles. Firstly, by moulding the bars in, the attachment points for the backrest are recessed into the kayak, rather than sticking up. This means that if the kids are going to jump off and climb back onto your sit-on-top, there are no raised points where they can catch themselves and get hurt. Also, with saddles sticking up, they can get broken off when sliding your kayak up onto roof racks. The other reason we mould bars in is because if holes need to be drilled into the kayak to attach the saddle, it introduces a potential leak point that can allow water into the kayak. By having plastic moulded around these bars, there are no leak points. Other brands promote they use tri-form hulls."
},
{
"question": "Why do Australis not use tri-form hulls?",
"answer": "They are noisy. The water slaps up under the wings of the hull, making it noisy when you paddle. Reduced turning ability. Tri-form hulls will track straight, but inhibits turning."
},
{
"question": "How come the Ocky, Foxx and Lynxx can be stacked?",
"answer": "The profile of the deck of the Ocky, Foxx and Lynxx means that they are able to be stacked on top of other sit-on-top kayaks in the Australis range."
},
{
"question": "Can I stack 2 Squids on top of each other on my car?",
"answer": "The hatches on the deck of the Squid make it impossible to \"stack\" the Squids on top of each other. However, it is possible to put 2 Squids onto a car without the need for any extra roof rack accessories. Make sure the first Squid is positioned to one side of the car roof rack and tie it on upside-down. Lean the second Squid against the first Squid and tie the second one in with another set of tie-downs. This set up should be secure enough for 60km/hour driving, but if you will be driving on motorways where the speed limit is over 80 kilometres an hour, also tie the ends of the kayaks either under the car (to a tow bar and bull bar), or back to the roof racks to prevent them moving forward or backward."
},
{
"question": "How do I maintain my sit-on trolley?",
"answer": "Wash in fresh water after each use to remove any sand or salt particles. To prevent the appearance of oxidization (which happens with all metals) it is recommended that a lanolin, silicon or oil based spray be lightly applied all over the trolley. If discolouration occurs, lightly rub the affected area with steel wool, scotchbrite or similar light abrasive. Once clean and dry, spray with the lanolin, silicon or oil based spray as outlined above."

{
"question": "What’s the difference between a mistake and medical negligence?",
"answer": "Anyone can make a mistake, and if we were all held liable for every mistake we’ve ever made, we’d all be in trouble. Medical negligence is when a medical provider’s care or decisions were outside the realm of what is considered reasonable for that situation. If the poor care you received caused injuries and damages, that’s considered negligence."
},
{
"question": "Are there damage caps in Florida for medical malpractice?",
"answer": "There are technically damage caps in Florida for medical malpractice: $500,000 for a single practitioner and up to $1 million if the injury resulted in death or a vegetative state. However, the Florida Supreme Court recently found the caps to be unconstitutional."
},
{
"question": "What’s the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Florida?",
"answer": "The statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Florida is two years from the date of the incident or two years from the date when a reasonable person would have discovered the injury. There is also an overall deadline of four years, regardless of the discovery date. If fraud is involved in your case, the deadline may change. Your attorney at the Law Offices of Casey D.
