"question": "How do I get a library card and is there a charge?",
"answer": "It's easy to get your free Library Card, the best bargain in town! Fill out a short application. Stop at the Children's or Main Circulation desk and ask for a library card application or sign up online. We also have applications in Spanish and in Portuguese. Show a valid photo identification and proof of your current address. This can be a Massachusetts drivers license, but we will accept other forms of ID. Acceptable forms of address verification have imprinted on them the applicant's name and current address: a driver's license, a utility bill with your name and address, a checkbook or a piece of mail. We will make your card right away. Now you may use and borrow FREE things at the library! Massachusetts residents* and out of state residents who work in Waltham may obtain library cards. Please notify the library of any change of address, phone number, or email address. Lost library cards should be reported immediately. You are responsible for all materials borrowed on your card until you report the card lost or stolen. Parents are responsible for materials borrowed by children 18 years and younger. A replacement card costs $1.00. Waltham belongs to the Minuteman Library Network (MLN). A Waltham Public Library card is valid at all 41 MLN Libraries. Policies vary from library to library. *Residents of cities and towns with libraries decertified by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) may not obtain a library card or borrow items in Waltham. We take this action reluctantly. The Waltham Public Library Board of Trustees cannot ask Waltham taxpayers to make up for the refusal of other cities and towns to properly fund their libraries. Loss of service is one way to help decertified libraries build support to restore their budgets. This policy affects all individuals with a home address in an MBLC decertified municipality. Books, magazines & most other items can be checked out for three weeks at a time and can be renewed twice. DVDs can be checked out for one week and can be renewed twice. Reference materials and Waltham Room materials do not circulate. Items with outstanding requests may not be renewed. Adult items - 10 cents per day per item. Children's - 5 cents per day per item. DVDs - 25 cents per day per item. Museum Passes - 5 dollars per day per item. The current replacement cost is charged."

{
"question": "What inspired you to take that on next?",
"answer": "SM: We've received lots of fan requests over the years to bring back Colonization. It's actually one of our most requested games. The opportunity to build a new Colonization using the Civilization IV engine was really exciting, so we decided now was the right time to make the game."
},
{
"question": "GS: Why did you decided to release Colonization as a stand-alone game, not a Civ IV expansion?",
"answer": "SM: Colonization is in the Civ IV family of games because it's a total conversion of the Civ IV engine and we wanted Civ IV fans to know that this is a game they'd really enjoy. Civ expansions have always required the core game in order to be able to play them, and they have always included significant improvements and additions to the core game. The dev team felt that Beyond the Sword (the second expansion pack for Civ IV) delivered so many improvements and additions to the core game that we had arrived at the ultimate Civ IV experience. We decided to focus all of our efforts on creating a new Colonization experience that would build on the Civ IV engine and deliver the addictive \"just-one-more-turn\" gameplay our fans enjoy. We made it a stand-alone game because there are no core game additions to Civ IV included and it doesn't rely on any Civ IV game assets, so there was no reason to require the core game to play."
},
{
"question": "GS: What improvements over Civ IV are you introducing in the game?",
"answer": "SM: The biggest upgrades are the major enhancements to the interface and the graphics. We're completely redesigning the in-game interfaces from the city screen to the main screen, which will result in a completely new look and improved functionality. We've also increased game performance by removing some code from the Civ IV engine that wasn't being used, since Colonization is a very different game than Civilization. Colonization delivers completely new graphics, along with enhanced water, new unit shadows, updated terrain and city buildings, and a higher resolution on all assets to give them a more crisp and defined look. In fact, we're making so many enhancements to the graphics that the game will require video cards that support Shader 1.1."
},
{
"question": "GS: So how did you find out that you were going to be in the Book of World Records?",
"answer": "SM: I found out when I read it in the news! It's really cool--never dreamed I'd be in the Guinness Book of World Records! GS: I noticed the announcement did not mention exactly how many awards you have won."
},
{
"question": "So, how many awards have you won?",
"answer": "SM: I have no idea. The awards all mean a lot to me, but I've never sat down to add them up."
},
{
"question": "GS: Have you ever turned an honor down?",
"answer": "SM: There have been a few times when folks have offered me an award under the condition that I come to a trade show or event to accept it. When I'm in the thick of a development cycle it's not always possible to leave for a few days to go to an awards show. I'm still honored that they wanted to give me the award, but understand if they renege because I can't be there to accept it."
},
{
"question": "GS: Since games are a collaborative effort, do you think it's unfair that a single person to be recognized for a product many have contributed to?",
"answer": "SM: Making a game is certainly a team effort and I feel strongly that any award I receive is something to be shared with the great teams I've worked with over the years. As the designer of the game I guess I'm designated as the point person and selected as the person to accept the award. GS: Now when Civilization Revolution was announced, many PC gamers called it borderline heresy to create a \"console-optimized\" Civ game. How do you respond to accusations that this is \"dumbed-down Civ?\" SM: It's not a \"dumbed-down\" Civ. I say that as the designer and lead programmer knowing that our goal was to bring the full experience of Civ to consoles and feeling very confident that we've done that successfully. I also say that with confidence based on the feedback we've received from longtime Civ PC fans who've spent time playing Civ Revolution and declared that it's really fun, addictive, and not at all dumbed down."
},
{
"question": "GS: How does the console-optimized version of Civilization Revolution differ from the PC versions?",
"answer": "SM: The term \"console-optimized\" doesn't really do this game justice. We started from scratch with Civilization Revolution and built the game from the ground up for the Xbox 360, PS3, and DS. It gave us a great opportunity to take all of the elements that have made Civ on the PC so successful and build that experience specifically for the consoles and DS, taking advantage of the many cool things those platforms offer. Anyone familiar with Civ on the PC will immediately feel at home with Civ Revolution. The core game is the same on all three platforms--we adjusted the presentation and controls to fit each machine. So, the main differences between Civ PC and Civ Revolution lie in the presentation (the graphics are up-close, highly detailed and fully animated on the consoles, and custom made for the DS) and the controls (we found that the commands are a natural fit on the console controllers and DS gamepad and stylus)."
},
{
"question": "GS: What was the biggest change in gameplay you made to adapt this game to consoles?",
"answer": "SM: The biggest gameplay change is speed. Civ PC games can take multiple hours to complete, but games of Civilization Revolution will be finished in a few hours or less. You'll still experience all of the goodness that is Civ and the whole sweep of time from the Stone Age to the Space Age, but you can complete a game in an evening--and then have time to play again! We feel very confident that Civ Revolution is the answer to strategy on consoles and think the design approach we've taken with the game will deliver a compelling new experience to console and DS players that they'll really enjoy. We've also built the most competitive multiplayer experience ever delivered in a Civ game, lots of extra content that will be available on XBL and PSN after the game ships, and we're offering the \"Game of the Week\" in which we'll provide a new game each week for people to play and then post their best scores online so we can declare \"The World's Best Civ Player\"!"
},
{
"question": "GS: What was the biggest challenge in brining a keyboard-centric game to consoles?",
"answer": "SM: Actually, we discovered that mapping the game commands to a controller was easier than we anticipated. Since Civilization is a turn-based game we didn't have to sacrifice any of the depth--the game will wait for you to make your decisions, so we can still offer lots of interesting choices to players on every turn. As always, the depth comes from the way all of the individual decisions add up to create something epic."
},
{
"question": "If not, why not, since the console supports USB keyboard input?",
"answer": "SM: I suppose it will, but to tell you the truth, I haven't tried that. We feel that the best experience for players will come from using the native controllers for each platform--that's how we designed the game to be played."
},
{
"question": "GS: How will the PS3 and 360 versions differ from the DS version?",
"answer": "SM: All three versions of Civ Revolution have the same core gameplay. The differences lie in the controls and graphics (the graphics are 2D on the DS to fit the platform specs)."
},
{
"question": "How much more limited will it be compared to the console editions?",
"answer": "SM: The DS version of Civ Revolution is the same game as the console versions, with 2D graphics. The only thing we couldn't include on the DS is the in-game Civilopedia, due to space limitations. We've heard from some Civ PC fans that a mobile version of Civ is a dream come true--and could possibly ruin their lives."
},
{
"question": "GS: How is the game coming along?",
"answer": "SM: We're finished with development and waiting for the game to hit the store shelves."
},
{
"question": "GS: So what is the status of the Wii version of Civilization Revolution?",
"answer": "SM: We're still in the process of making decisions on that and will keep you posted."
},
{
"question": "GS: Have you decided on your next project after Civ Rev?",
"answer": "SM: Yes, and that's all I'm allowed to say right now. GS: I think the biggest question people have is whether or not you will return to the PC Civilization games after Civ Rev."
},
{
"question": "Will you?",
"answer": "SM: We intend to continue to develop games for the PC as well as consoles and handhelds. We want our games played on whatever platforms will deliver a fun experience for players--and the PC is definitely one of those platforms."

"question": "What you need to know about home insurance?",
"answer": "Our home insurance policy summaries documents (accessible below) briefly outline for you the significant features, benefits, limitations and exclusions of our home insurance policies for owner-occupied private houses, holiday home houses and rental home houses. These summaries do not form part of the policy wordings, which you are recommended to read ( accessible below) before you arrange insurance cover. If you have a question or query relating to any of these cover assumptions that may be material* to your insurance, quotation details please call our Dublin-based Customer Service Team on 1890 27 27 27. (Mon to Fri 9am to 6pm). Most home insurance policies include a standard buildings and contents excess amount and/or other excess amounts for specified loss or damage event types. An excess is the amount of any loss or damage event that you must pay yourself. Our policy summary documents ( accessible above) set out for you the excess amounts applicable under our home policies. These cover summaries also state those benefits which are not subject to an excess amount. It is possible to be voluntarily responsible for an additional increased excess amount, in return for receiving an extra discount off your policy premium. This voluntary additional excess is in addition to the policy excess amounts outlined in the excess amount section above. If you require more information, please call us on 1890 27 27 27. It is very important to insure your buildings for the correct sum insured amount. The sum insured must be sufficient to reinstate your buildings should they be completely destroyed by an event insured. Please bear in mind that the definition of “buildings” under your policy includes not only the basic structure itself. ( Please refer to our policy wordings for the definition of “buildings”). The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland “Rebuilding Cost Guidelines (2014)” are a helpful starting point for estimating the correct buildings sum insured to select. When seeking a quotation for home insurance please ensure that you have chosen an adequate sum insured amount to cover reinstatement of your buildings. Similarly, it is very important to insure your household contents for the correct amount. When seeking a quotation for home insurance please ensure that you have chosen an adequate sum insured amount to cover replacement of your household contents as new. Whilst home insurance is not compulsory, if you have a mortgage then your lender may insist on you securing buildings cover as a condition of the loan. This is simply to ensure that if an event occurs that results in the home being destroyed or severely damaged the rebuilding costs will be met, thus safeguarding their financial investment. If you own a modern self-contained apartment, your management company will probably arrange the buildings insurance cover for you, but you would need to check with them that this is the case. So, if you own and occupy your own self-contained apartment, you may only need to arrange “contents only” insurance cover. Thus finding the money to replace everything following a loss involving buildings and/or contents would be a huge worry if you did not have adequate home insurance cover. AIG home policies can provide you with that security and peace of mind. In respect of buildings insurance you need to consider the home in its entirety. That is, the structure of the home itself, including permanent fixtures and fittings, any outbuildings, garages, driveways, patios, paths, fences and gates. In addition, you may need to include permanent swimming pools, tennis courts, and fixed fuel tanks, underground service pipes and cables for which you are legally responsible. Consideration must also be given to the cost of removal of debris, and of professional fees. Contents comprise everything that you could take with you if you were to move home. It is advisable to go through every room in your home making an inventory of contents including items in cupboards and wardrobes. In addition, you may also have items in your loft or attic, your garage, or garden shed that may need to be included under your contents sum insured. If you have any individual “high-value” portable items that you wish to insure while they are away from your home, you may need to purchase optional all risks cover on a specified or an unspecified item basis. In addition, if you wish to insure a specified pedal cycle, you will need to include pedal cycle cover in your home insurance quotation. The market value of a house or an apartment is dependent on many factors, including locality, local amenities and a range of other factors of relevance to the prospective purchaser of the property. The sum insured required for buildings insurance however is related to the current rebuilding costs required to reinstate the property should it be completely destroyed by a fire or other insured event. The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland “Rebuilding Cost Guidelines (2016)” are a helpful starting point for estimating the correct buildings sum insured to select. Often however, it may be advisable to engage the independent services of a Chartered Surveyor or a Professional Valuer to advise you on the buildings sum insured appropriate for your property. The sum insured amount your select for your household contents should cater for replacement of your contents as new. If you already have home insurance cover in place, you should check your sum insured amounts on a regular basis (at least annually) to ensure that they remain up to date and are adequate to reinstate your buildings and replace your contents. If you have unspecified or specified items insured under optional All Risks cover, you need to review your list of specified items on a regular basis too. For high-value items of jewellery, for example, you should keep your valuation certificates ( required for any individual item valued over €5,000) up to date and in safe storage so that if an individual item is lost or damaged, you have the relevant evidence to hand to prove the value of that item. It is highly recommended that you also retain photographic evidence for any high value items that you own and have insured. To protect you against the effects of inflation, your Buildings and Contents sum insured, may be increased in line with an appropriate index* when your policy falls due for renewal. If We do increase your sums insured at renewal time, we will inform you. of Chartered Surveyors Ireland - http://www.scsi.ie/. *For Contents, we will consult relevant sections of the Consumer Price Index prepared by the Central Statistics Office - http://www.cso.ie/. However, we strongly recommend that you review your sums insured on a regular basis (at least annually) to ensure that they remain adequate to meet your insurance protection requirements. AIG provide home insurance policies for (1) Owner-occupied private dwelling houses or self-contained modern apartment dwellings; (2) Houses owned and used or let out by their owners as holiday homes and (3) Individual private dwelling houses rented out as a single dwelling unit by their owners to a tenant under a rental agreement. Our policy summary documents (accessible below) briefly outline for you the significant features, benefits, limitations and exclusions of our home insurance policies for owner-occupied private houses, holiday home houses and rental home houses. Please call our Dublin-based Customer Service team on 1890 27 27 27 for a quotation or if you have a home insurance query or question. by Calling our Customer Service Team in Dublin on 1890 27 27 27 between 9am and 6pm Mon-Fri. Your will need your credit card number to hand and your AIG Car Policy Number ( if you wish to avail of our 20% home insurance discount for existing AIG Car Policyholders). If you require optional All Risks cover for any high-value items and/or Pedal Cycles, you will require the relevant identification description and identification numbers to hand, when you request cover.

Afterward the therapist will begin by asking you general questions to establish what areas you would like worked on, if there are any conditions needing to be addressed, and to determine if massage is appropriate for you. Your massage therapist may perform certain assessments and testing to evaluate your condition and to see if you have any presenting complaints. There are many other conditions in which your therapist may need to adapt his/her techniques (i.e. arthritis or osteoporosis) or avoid an area completely (i.e. cuts or burns). With some conditions, it is a good idea to get approval from your physician before you receive a message (cancer, certain heart conditions, pregnancy). This doesn’t mean you can’t get a message. But its always better to err on the side of caution. Please note late, refund and cancelation guidelines apply to message services as well as training services.

"question": "What are cookies and why does my computer have to accept them in order to complete a survey or sign in?",
"answer": "A cookie is a small bit of information that is stored in a user's browser, often just a code that contains the server name and a generated string of unique text and numbers. Cookies are used to store information about what pages you have requested within that specific site (and only within that site). Any sites that need to \"recognize\" you without a password (such as a customized news reader, MyYahoo!, or other personalized sites) do so by storing the key to your profile as a cookie. Unless the visitor has specifically offered personal information already on the site (e.g., through a registration form), there is no way for a site to know more about that individual than the unique cookie code within that particular site. Cookies can be beneficial in research to determine where a respondent has \"left off\" in a survey if they wish to pick up again later and to help us provide your personalized information when you're signed in."

{
"question": "What should I do after receiving the error, \"login failed error code: 401,\" when trying to log in to the plugin?",
"answer": "Often times WordPress or a password helper has auto-filled the login fields for our plugin with your WordPress login credentials, resulting in this 401 error. Instead, make sure to type in your Leadpages login credentials."
},
{
"question": "Why doesn’t my Lead Page have the menu and look of my other WordPress pages?",
"answer": "Many of our templates do include customizable navigation menus. If you’d like to provide navigation to other parts of your site from your Lead Page, we recommend using those templates—or, you may consider using a Leadbox instead of a Lead Page."
},
{
"question": "Why can’t my other plugins see or access Lead Pages inside WordPress?",
"answer": "Lead Pages uses Custom Post Types for its “pages.” These types of pages are an official part of WordPress. Lead Pages are setup as Custom Post Types because they require different behaviors, and if published another way the number of conflicts with other plugins and themes would be incredibly high. Unfortunately, there are some plugins out there that don’t recognize Custom Post Type pages. We encourage you to contact the developer of those plugins to see if it's possible for them to add this ability/functionality. I updated my Lead Page, but my changes aren’t showing up in WordPress."
},
{
"question": "What can I do?",
"answer": "Caching plugins can often interfere with changes updating properly on your WordPress site. If you use a caching plugin, check its settings and deactivate it if necessary, and/or clear its cache. Keep in mind, some plugins (such as many security plugins) cache your site even if caching isn’t their primary function. If you can’t find a caching plugin, your browser’s cache may also prevent you from seeing your page’s updates. You can clear it by following our guide here."
},
{
"question": "Why isn’t the URL to my page working?",
"answer": "Your options are http:// or http://www—either is perfectly fine. That said, they aren’t interchangeable, so be sure to direct visitors to whichever you choose. For instance, if your URL is http://website.com/webinar, avoid posting a link to http://www.website.com/webinar. To get around this, we recommend setting up a redirect on your server. That way, visitors who do go to http://www.website.com/webinar would land on http://website.com/webinar."
},
{
"question": "What will happen to my Lead Pages on WordPress if I end my subscription?",
"answer": "Because an active subscription is required for the back-end services that power Lead Pages (like our integrations engine), your Lead Pages on WordPress will display an error if you cancel your account. If you do plan on canceling, we recommend deleting your Lead Pages from WordPress before doing so."
},
{
"question": "How can I test out my Welcome Gate?",
"answer": "To view your Welcome Gate as a first-time visitor might, you’ll just need to trick your browser into thinking you’ve never been to your site before. One way to do this is to use your browser’s private or incognito mode—or, use another browser that you haven’t visited your site with."
},
{
"question": "Can my visitors skip over the Welcome Gate?",
"answer": "When a first-time visitor clicks that link, they’ll be brought to its destination, effectively bypassing the Welcome Gate. It’s likely you have a WordPress plugin or script that is redirecting the page on mobile devices. This is not something controlled by Leadpages—you will need to find the plugin or script on your site that is causing this and disable it to resolve the issue. To find the plugin that may be causing this, you can deactivate any plugins you know you’re not using. If you continue to encounter the issue, we recommend deactivating each plugin on your site one at a time to narrow down the one that is causing the issue. Once you’ve identified the plugin that is redirecting your pages to a mobile site and deactivate it, your Welcome Gate should turn off for mobile devices."
},
{
"question": "Can I protect Lead Pages in my membership site?",
"answer": "Lead Pages published to WordPress sites using our connector plugin are published in a way that may not allow them to interact with other WordPress plugins or pages. As such, as a general rule, you cannot protect a Lead Page using a WordPress membership site plugin. PLEASE NOTE: You are welcome to add membership-style protection to your Lead Pages, but we cannot provide support for it. You will want to contact your web host provider or other channels for any specific questions you may have about your site set up."

{
"question": "Can I participate in the Global Watch and still be a part of other formed organizations, churches, or initiatives?",
"answer": "Yes, absolutely. The Global Watch should not interfere with any church, organization, or prayer initiative. It should if anything, strengthen organizations and those participating. A regional prayer watch by its very nature, should be used to build bridges between prayer initiatives, streams, and churches."
},
{
"question": "If I am a leader of a large organization, how can the organization participate?",
"answer": "Designate a liaison in your organization that will communicate in and between the “Global Watch” and your organization. That way, if there are key issues you have pending or that are of concern, you can communicate to the “watch” and conversely, critical issues can be communicated to you. People in your organization can participate. It will not interfere with your organization’s ministry role or function if people participate but rather should be a source of strength."
},
{
"question": "What if I can’t do the entire 3am – 6am time period…I just don’t think I have the strength?",
"answer": "Take one bite at a time and develop your spiritual muscle. Ask God what you can commit to, i.e. ½ hour, 1 hour commitment once a week. Then stick to it. Do it. As you do it, your discipline will lead to an internal strengthening of desire and you will find your desire and time with the Lord to want to naturally expand."
},
{
"question": "Can I join if I want to do another time during the day?",
"answer": "Yes, absolutely. Just make sure you communicate and build relationship with those in your region who are participating particularly on your day of the week."
},
{
"question": "Why do I have to communicate?",
"answer": "Communication plays a vital role in the “watch” ministry. God is raising an alert and ready bride. He is coming for a bride who wants to engage with Him and is not disjointed or fractured but whole and moving together. The “watch” ministry carries a huge role in these days to prepare an alert and ready bride."

https://elixirgraphics.com/faq/how-do-i-install-my-stacks-add-ons | [
{
"question": "How do I install my Stacks add ons?",
"answer": "The Stacks plugin handles the installation of its add ons. All you’ll need to do is to double-click on the stack file you received when you downloaded your purchase. The stack file will end with a “.stack” extension. Once you double-click the theme file RapidWeaver will launch, if it wasn’t running already, and the Stacks plugin will then install the stack for you. After installation you’ll want to make sure you quit, and then restart RapidWeaver. This ensures that the app, and the Stacks pluging know you’ve installed a new stack and it will be visible to you in your Stack Elements drop down for use on your Stacks pages. From time to time it seems Stacks doesn’t recognize its add ons and instead displays them as a folder when viewed in the Finder. The usual solution for this is to download and install the latest versions of Stacks and / or RapidWeaver. If you’ve done that and are having trouble still you will need to contact YourHead Software, the developer of the Stacks plugin, so that they can fix the problem with the Stacks plugin for you. With the release of RapidWeaver 6 it is now possible to run two version of the app side-by-side. You can now have both RapidWeaver 5 and 6 installed and running at the same time. This can sometimes lead to confusion of where a stack needs to be installed. If you’re double-clicking an addon and it’s not being installed in the version of RapidWeaver you wish it to be, give this a try: Drag and drop the stack right onto the RapidWeaver icon, of the version you wish it to be installed into, in the Dock. Doing so tells that version of the app that it is the one that should be responsible for installing the app."

},
{
"question": "Why are there so many cards in a pack?",
"answer": "When we designed the cards my intention was always that players would create a “library” of vehicles, using a fine permanent marker pen to record the static values like name, sponsor, weapons, perks, max hull points and so on. Then, you would pick from these cards to build a team for a game of Gaslands, and use the dry wipe pens to note ammo, damage and hazards (just the stuff that changes in a game). Because of this, you get a lot of cards in a pack - basically enough that you can build a decent library to choose from each game! However, it’s become apparent that some people prefer to use a dry wipe pen for everything, and re-use the whole card for a completely different vehicle next game, making the inclusion of 36 cards a bit odd - after all, it’s a rare game of Gaslands where you would control more than a few cars. I confess I would find this a bit fiddly - the fields are very small for writing with most dry wipe pens and you risk rubbing off a vehicles name, perks, weapons and so on whenever you handle the card, but to each their own. At least you will have extras for your friends!"

https://www.hatchlighting.com/ufaqs/will-the-non-led-version-of-the-rs12-60m-transformer-work-with-led-loads/ | [
{
"question": "Will the non-LED version of the RS12-60M transformer work with LED loads?",
"answer": "In some cases Hatch halogen transformers can drive LED MR16 loads but Hatch does not warrant them for these applications. The reason for this is that the halogen transformers were designed long before LED MR16 designs emerged and they use a completely different topology/control circuit. The halogen transformers do not ‘self-oscillate’ – they depend on the impedance of the lamp itself to create a resonant circuit. LED MR16 lamps have their own mini-driver board in them so they do not present an appropriate impedance to the transformer. The LED version of the transformer overcomes this problem by using a special control integrated circuit that has a fixed oscillating frequency. Although this topology can be used to drive a halogen lamp, the reverse is not true. An RS-LED transformer should always be used if the load is intended to be a self-ballasted LED MR16 load."

"question": "Question: How large should the opening for the garage door be?",
"answer": "Answer: If you would like your door to work most efficiently, the opening should be framed about a ¼\" smaller than the door. This is known as a jamb lap and it will help seal the door better than using an opening the same size as the door. The jamb lap will cover a small portion of the door face, and once the weather stops are installed, it will help seal out the elements. This applies for both commercial and residential doors."

"question": "Can anyone drive our minibus?",
"answer": "Anyone with the appropriate driving licence can drive one of the smaller minibuses. Drivers of larger 17-seat minibuses must have a D1 category on their driving licence."
},
{
"question": "Can I carry wheelchair passengers in a minibus?",
"answer": "Many schools and colleges need minibuses which can accommodate wheelchairs. Castle Minibus can supply a range of wheelchair-accessible minibuses with wheelchair restraint systems, ramps, and lifts."
},
{
"question": "Can I hire a minibus to take my D1 test?",
"answer": "No you cannot (by law) hire a minibus just to train. But as part of Castle driver training we provide the Euro 6 Ford Transport minibus with a tachograph that is required for testing."
},
{
"question": "Can we take our minibus abroad?",
"answer": "Yes – however you will need a letter of authorisation and VE103 before travelling to the Republic of Ireland or Europe. You will need the correct insurance and overseas rescue assistance. In addition, minibuses travelling abroad will need a working digital tachograph and each driver will need their own individual tachograph card. Each driver must also hold an unrestricted D1. The Castle Minibus customer service team can explain this further and will be pleased to help you make the necessary arrangements."
},
{
"question": "Does a minibus need an MOT each year?",
"answer": "Unlike cars (which do not require an MOT until after 3 years from new), minibuses must have an annual MOT test from year 1. Castle Minibus arranges the MOT as part of your Premier Service package. Your minibus is collected from your school or college premises and returned to you after its MOT test."
},
{
"question": "How long is the minibus leasing contract?",
"answer": "You can choose between 2, 3, 4 or 5 year contracts. However, most schools and colleges choose the most competitively priced 5 year minibus leasing contracts. In our experience, most schools have leases for 5,000 miles per year. However we will discuss your requirements with you so that your expected mileage is taken into account when calculating your rental."
},
{
"question": "What happens when our minibus road tax runs out?",
"answer": "Castle Minibus supplies tax discs (Road Fund Licences) for the duration of your leasing contract. Any changes to the cost of road fund licences will be invoiced or credited to your account as required. NB From October 2014 paper tax discs are being abolished."
},
{
"question": "What size minibuses are available?",

},
{
"question": "Can anyone apply for a D1 licence category?",
"answer": "You must have held your driving licence for a minimum of 2 years and be over the age of 21. If you passed your test before January 1997 you will be able to drive a minibus on a not-for-profit basis anyway (because licences gained prior to January 1997 entitle the driver to drive a minibus, but not commercially). If driving for profit you will need to take your D1 driving test."
},
{
"question": "Can I have my practical training before passing my theory and hazard perception test?",
"answer": "You can is the honest answer. However, at Castle Driver Training we pride ourselves with our 86% pass rate and believe this is due to our training process. We will help you pass your theory and hazard perception tests first, giving you a full understanding of what driving a minibus really means. Once you have passed these tests, your practical test will be arranged at a test centre near you. Your practical training will then be booked for the days prior to your test at a location of your choice."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to be a MiDAS member?",
"answer": "The organisation taking the training will need to become the member, not the individual candidates. Castle Driver Training will help you with the process involved."
},
{
"question": "How do I book my medical?",
"answer": "Simply book a medical with your GP. If you have any questions, please call and we’ll do everything we can to help. You can use the enquiry link on the Castle Driver Training Website, email us at [email protected] or call us directly on 01869 253744 where we will be more than happy to help you.

Your final test will be your Practical Driving Test, which takes approximately 1 hour. Castle will provide you with helpful links and full support with your training for all of these tests."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take to gain a D1 category on my driving Licence?",
"answer": "This depends on each candidate. The whole process can usually be completed within a 12-week period. However, it can take longer depending on the candidate, medical and test availability."
},
{
"question": "How many candidates can train MiDAS in 1 day?",
"answer": "We allow 4 candidates per day to complete the training. We can also arrange training on a half day basis for 1-2 candidates."
},
{
"question": "If I don’t have the D1 category can I still attend a MiDAS training course?",
"answer": "Yes, but this will depend on the type of minibus you are wanting to complete your training in. Please call us on 01869 253744 or email [email protected] for more information."
},
{
"question": "To begin my training and gain my D1 category, what do I need to do?",
"answer": "You need to complete a medical, send your driving licence to the DVLA to apply for your Provisional D1 category, pass your theory multiple choice and hazard perception tests and, finally, pass your practical training and practical test. You will have your theory training and a small test in the morning, along with a ‘walkaround’ This will involve you walking around the Minibus to understand the checks that should be completed before driving. The afternoon will consist of practical driving and any training for any improvements required."
},
{
"question": "Where will my Practical Training take place?",
"answer": "Our Highly Qualified instructors will train you in a location of your choice. We also have a minibus that can be used, should you not have your own. Your practical test must be taken in a 17 seat minibus with a fitted tachograph facility."

https://jvcnorthwest.org/faqs/americorps-living-allowance/ | [
{
"question": "What is the AmeriCorps living allowance?",
"answer": "The AmeriCorps living allowance is an amount of money set by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) that full-time AmeriCorps members receive during their year of service. The current living allowance for the 2018-19 service year is $13,732."
},
{
"question": "What is the living allowance used for?",
"answer": "The intent of the living allowance is that it be used for living expenses incurred by the member during the service year. Before JVC Northwest became an AmeriCorps National Grantee, our individual partner agencies paid for the living costs of the JVs. By becoming an AmeriCorps grantee we were able to substantially reduce the costs to our partner agencies and ultimately serve more people in need. The living allowance is used to cover housing costs, food, utilities, transport to and from the service site, medical deductibles and co-pays and other costs incurred during the service year. JVC Northwest offers to cover the cost of the monthly insurance premium on a basic medical plan. While the housing cost is a set amount, the JV AmeriCorps member will cover his/her share of the communal cost of food, utilities and other community-incurred costs with the living allowance. The monthly cost of living may vary, e.g., utility bills, especially in Alaska, can be quite high in the winter months. At Orientation, we will discuss how to adhere to our core value of simple living in light of receiving the living allowance."
},
{
"question": "How do AmeriCorps members receive the living allowance?",
"answer": "JVC Northwest distributes the living allowance according to AmeriCorps guidelines. The AmeriCorps member receives the allowance in equal amounts over a period of 10, 11 or 12 months, depending on where the member is serving."
},
{
"question": "Is the living allowance taxable?",
"answer": "Yes. Our experience is that if one claims a deduction of “0” on the I-9 form, one will not owe taxes on the living allowance income. However, individual circumstances vary and if an individual has other income from the tax year, taxes would differ accordingly. If this is a concern, we suggest you consult a tax expert."
},
{
"question": "Do all JVs receive a living allowance?",
"answer": "No. JVs whose positions do not qualify for AmeriCorps do not receive a living allowance. Instead, JVC Northwest covers all of the community costs and insurance co-pays and deductibles up to the out of pocket maximum (in addition to paying the monthly insurance premium). JVC Northwest will not reimburse any costs that are not covered by the insurance policy. JVs who do not receive a living allowance receive a monthly personal stipend of $100."

https://www.natolilaw.com/Personal-Injury/Toxic-Mold-FAQ.shtml | [
{
"question": "What Health Hazards Exist Concerning Exposure To Toxic Molds?",
"answer": "The health effects of exposure to toxic mold are potentially permanent. Exposure can result in respiratory ailments such as asthma. It also results in increased susceptibility to pneumonia, sinus infections, persistent headaches, bronchitis, shortness of breath and difficulties in breathing. Such exposure can also result in lifetime sensitivity to molds of every kind. Mold-related illnesses may be difficult to diagnose and treat."
},
{
"question": "Who Is Most At Risk When Molds Exist?",
"answer": "While infants, elderly people and individuals with a compromised immune system or asthma are among the most likely to suffer illness because of mold exposure, every individual potentially can suffer ill effects due to exposure to molds."
},
{
"question": "Will Mold Result In Property Damage As Well?",
"answer": "Yes. Property damaged by mold may either require cleaning or disposal. It may be possible to remove mold from wood, appliances and hard surfaces by following standardized cleaning techniques. However, removal of mold from property such as upholstered furniture, beds and drapery may not be possible. Severe exposure can result in thousands of dollars of damage. Because of the potential ill effects due to mold, family members sometimes will need to vacate their home to escape increasing exposure."
},
{
"question": "What Actions Should I Take To Remedy A Toxic Mold Problem?",
"answer": "While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides guidelines for removing mold, we highly recommend that you retain professionals to remove the toxic mold. And though there are a number of businesses engaged in removal of mold, care must be taken in making sure such companies are qualified for this task. Mold removal is a heavily regulated area and requires taking a number of precautions to make certain removal is accomplished safely. It is always advisable to speak to an experienced attorney in dealing with toxic mold cases. This is especially necessary if you suspect property damage or illness and injury related to mold exposure. At Natoli & Associates, we can advise you regarding your rights. In certain circumstances, we can even direct you to the proper resources in making certain any mold removal process is done properly and complies with Massachusetts and federal law. To schedule an appointment with a lawyer, call our Taunton office at 508-822-9829, or contact us online."

{
"question": "What is a graduated return to work from LTD?",
"answer": "Your salary will be 90% of your regular salary before LTD and after tax withholdings. The insurer continues to pay 80% of your regular salary after tax withholdings and UVic pays the balance up to 90%. This formula applies regardless of the FTE status you are assigned at each phase of your graduated return to work plan."
},
{
"question": "What will my salary be during a graduated return to work from LTD?",
"answer": "The graduated return to work plan is designed by Human Resources in consultation with you and your supervisor and should be consistent with your medical documentation. We recommend that you invite a Faculty Association Membership Services Advisor to participate in these discussions. The plan will be designed to increase duties and/or workload gradually. You will be assigned an FTE status during the graduated return to work plan, which may change as duties increase. However, your salary remains the same regardless of FTE status. For instructors, Human Resources normally calculates FTE status based on number of courses taught. Therefore, workload may increase without changing FTE status. For instance, an instructor may teach a seminar the first term and a lecture course the second term. FTE status would remain the same, but in practice workload may be greater. A plan may change depending on your health. Medical documentation may be requested periodically."
},
{
"question": "What is my FTE status during the graduated return to work plan?",
"answer": "Pension contributions resume and are based on your FTE status. Time on a graduated return to work plan counts as a percentage towards Study Leave. For example, twelve months at FTE 0.5 counts as six eligible months towards your Study Leave."
},
{
"question": "How does a graduated return to work plan affect pension contributions and Study Leave eligibility?",
"answer": "Yes. When medical documentation supports the need, you may have an accommodation during a graduated return to work and, if needed, after you are fully off LTD and back to your regular FTE status."
},
{
"question": "Can I have an accommodation during a graduated return to work plan?",
"answer": "If you have medical authorization to return to work without a graduated return, you may do so. The University and the insurer may request additional documentation. My doctor authorized me to return to work without a graduated return to work period."
},
{
"question": "Am I required to take a graduated return to work?",
"answer": "Yes, you are still technically on LTD. Time on a graduated return to work plan does not count towards your reappointment, tenure, or salary evaluations."
},
{
"question": "Am I still on LTD during my graduated return to work plan?",
"answer": "Upon ending a graduated return to work plan or upon returning to work from LTD without a graduated return, your salary is adjusted according to the Procedures of the Vice-President Academic and Provost Regarding Salary Adjustments After Long-Term Disability. This document provides an appeals process should you disagree with the salary adjustment. If you choose to appeal, a Faculty Association Membership Services Advisor can assist you."

https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/c | [
{
"question": "Is it easy to migrate from C to C++?",
"answer": "Yes! C++ is nearly exactly a superset of Standard C95 (C90 and the 1995 Amendment 1). With very few exceptions, every valid C95 program is also a valid C++ program with the same meaning. A great first step is to simply use C++ as “a better C,” which means that you can program in the C subset of C++ and find the experience better than in C because C++ provides extra type-checking and sometimes extra performance even for plain C code. Of course, C++ also provides much more! Once you start compiling your existing C code as C++, you can just start selectively using C++ features tactically here and there as you’re comfortable – and start seeing benefits right away in each line of code."
},
{
"question": "What’s the difference between C++ and C?",
"answer": "C++ is a direct descendant of C95 (C90 plus an Amendment) that retains almost all of C95 as a subset. C++ provides stronger type checking than C and directly supports a wider range of programming styles than C. C++ is “a better C” in the sense that it supports the styles of programming done using C with better type checking and more notational support (without loss of efficiency). In the same sense, ANSI C90/C95 is a better C than K&R C. In addition, C++ supports data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming (see The C++ Programming Language; Appendix B discussing compatibility issues is available for downloading). We have never seen a program that could be expressed better in C95 than in C++ (and we don’t think such a program could exist – every construct in C95 has an obvious C++ equivalent). However, there still exist a few environments where the support for C++ is so weak that there is an advantage to using C instead. There aren’t all that many of those left, though; see Stroustrup’s (incomplete) compilers list. For a discussion of the design of C++ including a discussion of its relationship with C see The Design and Evolution of C++. Please note that “C” in the paragraphs above refers to Classic C and C95 (C90 with an Amendment). C++ is not a descendant of C99; rather, both are derived from C95. C++11 adopted all of C99’s preprocessor extensions and library extensions, but not C99’s new language features, so language features like the restrict keyword that were added in C99 are generally not part of ISO C++. Here is a description of the differences between C++98 and C99. In the strict mathematical sense, C isn’t a subset of C++. There are programs that are valid C but not valid C++ and even a few ways of writing code that has a different meaning in C and C++. However, C++ supports every programming technique supported by C95 (C90 plus an Amendment) and earlier. Every such C program can be written in essentially the same way in C++ with the same run-time and space efficiency. It is not uncommon to be able to convert tens of thousands of lines of ANSI C to C-style C++ in a few hours. Thus, C++ is as much a superset of C95 as C95 is a superset of K&R C and as much as ISO C++ is a superset of C++ as it existed in 1985. Well written C tends to be legal C++ also. For example, every example in Kernighan & Ritchie: “The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)” is also a C++ program. Note the potential alignment error caused by the implicit conversion of the void* to an int*. See the C++ alternative to void* and malloc(). Except for a few examples such as the ones shown above (and listed in detail in the C++ standard and in Appendix B of The C++ Programming Language (3rd Edition)), C++ is a superset of C. (Appendix B is available for downloading)."
},
{
"question": "Why use sort() when we have good old qsort()?",
"answer": "In addition, most people appreciate that sort() is type safe, that no casts are required to use it, and that they don’t have to write a compare() function for standard types. For a more detailed explanation, see Stroustrup’s paper “Learning C++ as a New language”, which can be downloaded from his publications list. The primary reason that sort() tends to outperform qsort() is that the comparison inlines better."

Additionally, when you opt for a water-tight door, you can still enjoy the benefits of a bathtub but the ease of a shower for entering and exiting."

http://kassabmd.com/Total-Ankle-Replacement-FAQ.html | [
{
"question": "Who should consider an ankle replacement?",
"answer": "When ankle arthritis pain prevents routine daily activities, and non-surgical treatments have failed, you may be a candidate for total ankle replacement surgery (TAA)."
},
{
"question": "Why haven’t I heard about ankle replacements as much as I’ve heard about hip and knee replacement?",
"answer": "Ankle arthritis that requires surgery is not as common on a condition. Early attempts at TAA, more than 20 years ago, typically were not as successful. The implant Dr. Howard uses is a third generation of one, first successfully used in 2005, with an excellent history of stability and pain relief."
},
{
"question": "What Doctors are best trained to do my total ankle replacement surgery?",
"answer": "Total Ankle Replacement surgery should be performed by an orthopedic surgeon with extra training in foot and ankle conditions, and training in TAA surgery."
},
{
"question": "Is all ankle arthritis best treated by total ankle replacement surgery?",
"answer": "Milder forms of ankle arthritis can be treated non-operatively with physical therapy medications and bracing. Moderate forms of ankle arthritis may benefit from less involved surgeries, such as ankle arthroscopy or open spur excision. Depending on many factors, your surgeon may suggest an ankle fusion surgery instead of a total ankle replacement."
},
{
"question": "If I have a total ankle replacement, where and how is it performed?",
"answer": "Dr. Tisdel performs total ankle replacement surgery at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland and Royal Oak Beaumont Hospitals. It is done under a general or spinal anesthetic. Blood loss and transfusion are not typically an issue because a tourniquet is used during surgery. Surgery takes about 2 hours. Most patients also receive a nerve block for pain relief that lasts 1 -4 days. Most patients have a one night hospital stay."
},
{
"question": "What is total ankle replacement post-operative recovery like?",
"answer": "Patients are in a splint, then a cast for the first 2-3 weeks after surgery. During this time, no weight is allowed on the operative foot, using crutches or either regular or roll-about walker. Most of the first 2-3 weeks should be spent resting with your foot elevated above your heart to prevent swelling, and help heal your incision. At 2-3 weeks, a removable walking cast is applied. You can start to apply partial weight on foot, and begin gentle range of motion of the ankle. Six weeks after surgery, with x-ray confirmation, the TAA implant is usually healed enough to put full weight on the foot in a cast boot, and to begin formal physical therapy. By 10 weeks, most patients are putting a shoe on. Your ankle continues to improve for many months."
},
{
"question": "After I’m fully healed, what can I expect?",
"answer": "After full recovery, most people have little or no ankle pain, and greatly improved flexibility. You may return to confidently performing all normal daily activities. Although most low impact sports and exercise can be enjoyed again (golf, light tennis, yoga, biking, swimming, exercise walking), to reserve the life of the implant running, jumping and higher impact activities are not recommended."

"question": "How long should the total ankle replacement surgery last?",
"answer": "The current implants have been lasting 10 or more years in greater than 90% of patients. In general, we hope for 15 to 20 years of ongoing great results. Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), also known as total ankle replacement, is a surgical procedure that orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons use to treat ankle arthritis."

"question": "My child is less than 9 years old - can they attend a course?",
"answer": "An 8-year-old can attend a course, so long as they are turning 9 in the year the course is running. For example, for a Summer course in 2018, they must be turning 9 before the end of December 2018. The same principle applies for other age ranges on advanced courses that are 11-17 years or 13-17 years. Yes, we are OFSTED registered and were fully inspected in 2016, with no issues raised."
},
{
"question": "Who runs the camps on a day to day basis?",
"answer": "Each camp has a manager – usually an experienced teacher, often from the venue and always first aid qualified. The manager is always contactable throughout the day. Head Office is also available to deal with any further issues that may arise."
},
{
"question": "Will my 17-year-old be taught with a 9-year-old?",
"answer": "The Junior and Senior version of a course may be taught in the same room, but there are always separate versions of a course that is open for ages 9-17, one more appropriate for younger children, and one with more advanced tasks for older campers. Our strict 1:8 ratio means a large computer suite works well for two smaller groups. We want everyone to enjoy the camp in a productive and safe environment. Our staff ratios and experienced camp manager usually means that issues are diffused promptly. As the courses can be quite intense and sometimes a \"letting off\" of steam is required, we encourage the campers to join in the activities (which are often outside) with campers from other courses at lunchtime when the manager is also on hand to supervise. If there is an issue within the classroom we have a strict procedure. Tutors will first let the disruptive child know that their behaviour is not appropriate and call the Camp Manager, so this is noted. If the issue persists it will escalate to the Camp Manager who will decide on suitable intervention. We don’t want to exclude anyone, but if a camper is disruptive, damaging equipment or consistently behaving inappropriately we would exclude them and contact the parents of the camper concerned. The Camp Manager at each venue reports daily to the Camp Director, who would be made aware of any issues. Please see the relevant Parents' Guide for in depth information about the running of our camps."
},
{
"question": "Can a camper miss a day of the course?",
"answer": "Missing a day is strongly not recommended, as the courses are designed to last for the whole week and each day generally builds on the last, so missing a day would significantly impact how much the camper would get out of the course. If a camper misses a day due to sickness, our ratio of a maximum of 8 students per tutor means the tutors can help them catch up, however if absence can be avoided this is always the preferred option!"
},
{
"question": "Where do your tutors come from?",
"answer": "Tutors are carefully selected based on their specific technology-related skills, their love of the technology industry and their genuine ability to inspire tomorrow’s young tech enthusiasts. In fact, some of the tutors are ex-Tech Camp students themselves, who are now studying tech and engineering universities like Cambridge and Imperial College. Small tutor groups are maintained – with a maximum of 1:8 staff to student ratio - to provide the best possible experience. On top of this each camp also has a manager - normally an experienced teacher to ensure the camp runs smoothly and to look after the welfare of the campers - and depending on the size of the camp, a number of assistants as well. All of our staff are background checked (DBS) and undergo training to ensure the safety and high quality course delivery at our camps. Please see the About Us page for some biographies of some of our tutors!"
},
{
"question": "Can I watch the sessions?",
"answer": "Unfortunately this is not possible, however we run a \"showcase\" session at the end of the week to which parents are invited!"
},
{
"question": "Can my child leave on their own?",
"answer": "Older campers are able to leave on their own, however this must be confirmed in writing before the camp, and they must sign out with the Camp Manager before they leave each day."
},
{
"question": "Will my child be safe using equipment such as soldering irons?",
"answer": "We have a very proactive attitude towards safety - please see this page for more information."
},
{
"question": "Do you have experience of integrating campers who are on the Spectrum?",
"answer": "At Tech Camp we find that a few campers with an interest in technology are also on the autistic spectrum, and parents worry about them feeling comfortable and “fitting in”. Our Senior Management Team has many years’ experience working with such campers and we aim to support specific needs on an individual basis. Our tutor ratio and training enable us to do this – but it is important that these needs are advised and discussed in advance so that tutors and other staff are aware of any particular requirements. Often, we find that the ability to concentrate on an area of interest and peer recognition for tech skills, together with being surrounded by other campers who all like the same things reduces anxiety, improves self-esteem and is a great self-confidence boost! Chelsea - lunch is not included, please bring a packed lunch and snacks if you want! Winchester - lunch and snacks are included for day campers. All meals and snacks are included for residential campers. We are pleased to see this increasing year on year and is reflected in our increasing number of female tutors, which was nearly 50% in 2017. The number of girls varies by course and ranges from 10-20%, but there is always the chance that no girls may register for a particular week. There are usually slightly more girls on our residential courses and they are all roomed together with female staff. We can often help in the office letting parents know which courses/weeks have girls, and what age they are when parents want to book. We pride ourselves on building skills and knowledge through practical projects, and all our courses involve taking things home – from a functioning 3D printer to a new computer game. There is often access to follow-up activities and on-line links too! Please see the individual course pages for details on exactly what campers take home after each course. Absolutely everything is provided on all of our courses, including computer facilities. We find this is very rarely an issue, and for many children on our camps it can be their first time away from home for more than 1 day. Please see the homesickness page for more information."
},
{
"question": "Why do the residential camps start on Sunday?",
"answer": "On Sunday the campers settle in, unpack and start with a fun evening of different icebreaker activities, usually involving an \"engineering challenge\" of some sort. This gives time for everyone to get to know each other before the courses start on Monday, and allows our many overseas campers to arrive in good time so they don't miss anything on the Monday morning. If arrival on the Sunday is particularly difficult, it is possible for a residential camper to arrive on the Monday - please contact us in advance of the camp starting however! Please see the Residential Camps Parents' Guide for a suggested packing list. You can pay online though our booking system using all major credit and debit cards, or by using childcare vouchers through the Childcare Choices scheme. If you wish to pay using childcare vouchers, you will be sent instructions on how to do this after you have made a booking. We require a £50 deposit to secure the place and the remainder at the latest 28 days before the course (see payment terms). You can pay all or some of the costs with vouchers. We accept all major providers and also payments via the Government’s new Childcare Choices system. Full instructions are in the booking confirmation email."
},
{
"question": "The courses are too expensive – can you help?",
"answer": "We are a small organisation and have limited ability to fund many bursaries, but we do try to help some students each year who couldn't otherwise afford to come. We have a large amount of people asking for help so usually we commit ourselves to funding any subsidised places we can offer very early in the year. See our pricing and discounts page or do contact the office directly, and we will always see what we can do. We do not currently offer sibling discounts."
},
{
"question": "Can I cancel my course and ask for a refund?",
"answer": "The £50 deposit is non-refundable. The balance of payment for an event is due 28 days before the starting date. In the event of cancellation, the following amounts will be refunded."

http://schoolhouseescapes.com/faq/ | [
{
"question": "What in the world are escape games?",
"answer": "Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and must collaborate to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. We’ve taken that concept and created games JUST for students at all grade levels. In our state-of-the art, really super impressive workshop (Dana’s garage), we develop theme-based puzzles that students must solve (independently and collectively) to “escape” or to help solve a mystery in some way."
},
{
"question": "But what makes you know how to do all of this?",
"answer": "Well, the Common Core State Standards Initiative is pretty clear about what they want our kids to learn, and we are pretty clear that your students need a way to show off their education, so we think we’ve nailed a format that will enable students to have FUN while showing off their newly-acquired skills. In all seriousness, we use elements from entertainment and education and ensure that we infuse a little of both into our games so that YOU, as instructors, can stand back and wipe tears of joy while your students stun you by using stragetgies that you have been painstakingly teaching them! Plus, we drink lots of coffee. Coffee makes us smart. A few factors go into the cost: How many students, how many classes, how many grade levels, how many days we will be on campus, whether we will be serving special needs students, etc. Please contact us, and we will give you a price customized for your individual needs. We only have enough money for one classroom."
},
{
"question": "How do we pay to have Schoolhouse Escapes come out to our school?",
"answer": "We take anything: cash, credit cards, purchase orders, chickens, coffee, homemade cookies… (well, almost anything). After we set your reservation, we will send all the paperwork that your school requires. Our program is also Title I friendly."
},
{
"question": "Is it like a school assembly?",
"answer": "We come to you! The best way to think of it is like a super fun field trip for your students, minus the school bus, bus driver, sack lunches, chaperones, lost children, car sickness, flat tires, and the overall boredom that comes from too much “down time” during traditional field trips."
},
{
"question": "Do all the students participate at once?",
"answer": "You didn’t really say how it works. Sorry, we got sidetracked on the last question amusing ourselves with reminders of when our own children went on field trips: One CLASS participates at a time, no matter how many classes or grade levels you book, and each child within that class is doing the game at the same time. We divide them into groups, so each group must collaborate in small group settings before communicating with the entire class for the finale. We give each class our full attention for their one-hour escape game experience, and then we move on to the next class or grade level."
},
{
"question": "Where do the students go for the adventure?",
"answer": "Ideally, we appreciate the use of an empty classroom or anywhere that isn’t their everyday space. This helps us with the immersion process that’s so helpful during escape games (making them feel like they ARE a spy or that they ARE searching for lost classmates in Egypt). But we’re pretty easy; we can work with what you have to offer us."
},
{
"question": "Will you be reporting to administration?",
"answer": "We won’t judge you by how well your students do, but we MIGHT judge your punctuality (JUST KIDDING!). Well, sort of kidding. It’s important that you show up at your designated time so we can ensure everyone has the same opportunities for fun. And no, in all seriousness, we are so busy having fun with your students that we don’t have time to create individual reports on how students performed during each game."
},
{
"question": "What’s a theme?",
"answer": "We know this can be confusing. A module consists of ALL units from one theme. The pirate module, for example, has 9 units (K-8th grade). Schools don’t have to invite us to host an entire module; indeed, some schools don’t have all those grades. Some schools invite us to host a single unit (one specific grade level). And the theme is how we internally keep track of our modules: Pirate module, Robots module, Time travel module, etc.)."
},
{
"question": "How do you keep students from spoiling the games for everyone else?",
"answer": "We can see how this would be a concern, but that generally cannot happen. Our games are different for every grade level, and even games among the same grade level are complex with many steps, so if any student could remember even ONE clue, that clue wouldn’t provide enough information to solve the entire game. Besides, we have super sneaky methods that make the game horribly boring for anyone who gets too far ahead of the class or knows answers in advance. In essence, anyone knowing answers in advance will get the SUPER EXCITING PRIZE of watching the entire class have fun without him/her!! Fun!"
},
{
"question": "How does that work?",
"answer": "Yes! Each game is designed specifically for YOUR grade level and covers no fewer than (3) Common Core standards. The students work on puzzles developed with certain standards in mind (mainly math), so they have no idea they are putting their knowledge to use in real world scenarios. Prior to our arrival, we will provide the standards covered in our game so that you will have a chance to review those skills with your students (if you choose). Or they can wing it. It works both ways."
},
{
"question": "How can we be sure our students will like it?",
"answer": "Most of them do! You can hopefully take our word for it (but we would definitely consider giving a refund if someone was like, “That was worse than going to the dentist!”). The students don’t realize they are doing testable stuff; they think they are simply getting out of class for an hour to go play games and mess around. Instead, they ARE playing games and messing around—but they are doing it while using grade level-specific knowledge that YOU, their teachers, have so brilliantly taught them throughout the year. First, thanks for even asking this question because it means your students had a blast and are bugging you to let them do it again. To answer, we are developing new modules as fast as we can. Once we host a theme at your school (take Pirates, for example), we won’t present Pirates to you again as a theme choice for at least two school years (until the older students have moved on and the younger students get to the older grade levels). However, during that two-year period, we will have different themes and modules from which you can choose. We also have “first semester” games and “second semester” games (as well as quarterly)."
},
{
"question": "How about a gold rush theme or an Egyptian theme?",
"answer": "We have soooo many themes in development, but our favorite thing to do is work from requests."
},
{
"question": "You have a theme in mind?",
"answer": "We will custom design a new theme from your ideas, and then you can tell everyone that your school (or principal or teachers) came up with one of our most popular themes (even if it stinks). 😊 Just kidding. None of our themes will ever stink."
},
{
"question": "What should I do?",
"answer": "Celebrate! We actually expect students to be high-energy. These games are intense and bring out their competitive spirits. I am a busy teacher."
},
{
"question": "And what about during the escape game?",
"answer": "Hardly anything! That’s the BEST part of Schoolhouse Escapes. We bring the locks, props, and puzzles, and you get to sip your coffee and take pics while we work with your students. We do ask that you manage any behavior issues, but let’s be real: Most kids are having so much fun that they don’t have time for misbehaving. We will provide a handy teacher guide prior to our arrival that will explain what YOU can do to verbally prepare them for their great adventure. But mostly, it’s on us."
},
{
"question": "Is it long?",
"answer": "I am a busy teacher! YES. No. And we know. Keeping your busy schedules in mind, we eliminated the fat and left you only what you REALLY need to know. A few minutes of reading will help you prep your students for a wonderful adventure (with some tips on ensuring that all students at all levels have fun)."
},
{
"question": "When is the best time of year to book our reservation?",
"answer": "Any time, but with one caveat: We have only a few weeks to work in December before you break for the holidays, so if you’re wanting to book our Christmas “Mrs. Claus Saves Christmas” games, you’ll need to get on our schedule pretty quickly, as those slots fill up fast. But what if we want to book you in the first month or two of school."
},
{
"question": "What standards will they know so early in the year?",
"answer": "Well, we do develop first quarter games, but for that early in the school year we would recommend hosting a game from the spring semester (4th quarter) of the grade prior. For example, if your fourth-grade class wants an escape game in September, we would recommend bringing a unit from third grade, 4th quarter."
},
{
"question": "What grade levels do you currently support?",
"answer": "Funny you should ask: Two months ago, we had 1st through 5th. Then a school called that wanted K-6, so we wrote two additional units and added them to our current module."
},
{
"question": "The next phone call we got was from a junior high school interested in 7th and 8th, so guess what?",
"answer": "We now offer games for middle school, too. The BEST thing about this company is that we are here for YOU, to accommodate your needs and provide games and fun for all ages. If you have a special request or question, please send us a smoke signal and we will get right back to you!"

{
"question": "What is regional, rural or remote?",
"answer": "There is no standard definition. In a general sense the term ‘regional, rural and remote’ or RRR includes all areas in Australia outside the capital cities or ‘metropolitan’ Australia. In practice, our project encourages applicants to consider placements in ‘remote’ areas such as Katherine (NT) and Kununurra (WA) however we also place in ‘outer regional’ areas such as Kalgoorlie, Geraldton (WA) Cairns and Townsville (Qld). Many legal services are based in inner regional areas such as Bendigo (Vic), Albury Wodonga (Vic/NSW border) Townsville and Toowoomba (Qld)."
},
{
"question": "How long does the process take from completing the online application to starting the placement?",
"answer": "Sometimes we place applicants within a week. It is more usual to take several weeks. We suggest you apply as soon as you enrol in your practical legal training course and have a good idea of the dates you are able to undertake a placement. You ask me not to apply to other legal services whilst this application is current."
},
{
"question": "Why is that?",
"answer": "We understand you are keen to arrange a placement and that this may involve you applying to several places at once. However we need to restrict this service to those who are committed to a regional, rural or remote placement if and when it is offered. This commitment will be discussed with you by the National Placement Coordinator by email or by phone if necessary. The publicly funded legal assistance sector is under resourced and needs to prioritise its work. We ask much from our project partners who invest valuable time in assessing your suitability and then making arrangements to offer you a place. Whilst we understand your imperative to find a placement, we restrict our service to committed applicants. 1. Completing an application: In order to complete an application select the ‘Apply Here’ button which is found at the bottom of the page for each legal assistance service. You will be asked the four threshold questions to confirm your eligibility before proceeding. You will then be directed to the online application. Some of the information will be visible from your earlier registration. This application relates to your first preference and we are interested in your flexibility to consider other legal assistance services in other geographical areas. After completing the details, we ask you to attach your current Academic Transcript and your current CV then submit. We ask that you only submit one application at a time. If you wish to change that application, go to the left side menu to \"User CP\" (this refers to the user control panel). This reveals your current application and you can change the details of your application there. 2. Confirmation of complete application: Once we have received your online application you will receive an automatic receipt email, then when our National Placement Coordinator has reviewed the application, she will send you another email to confirm the application is complete. We will then email or phone you to assess your suitability for the placement and inform you of current opportunities. 3. Approaching the legal assistance service: Our National Placement Coordinator approaches your preferred legal assistance service within seven working days. If your first preference is not available we explore other options. You are informed by email at each step. If a placement is available elsewhere, we contact you to ensure you are still able to take up a placement if it is offered. Once you confirm your availability we give your documents to the legal assistance service. It usually takes one to two weeks for the service to confirm acceptance of your placement. We do our best to keep in weekly contact with the services to follow up your application. 4. Placement confirmed: Our National Placement Coordinator confirms with your nominated legal assistance service that your application is successful. You will receive an email notifying you of this as soon as practicable. 5. Applicant to liaise with legal assistance service about specific details: Following the National Placement Coordinator’s confirmation with your nominated legal assistance service we will place you in direct contact with that service so you can confirm specific details about your placement (such as dates). 6. Applicant to notify PLT RRR Project of their placement dates: When you have confirmed these details with the legal assistance service please notify us of these dates. Placement at regional, rural or remote legal assistance services is competitive as availability is limited. If your first preference is unavailable, the National Placement Coordinator will ask you to consider other options such as doing your placement in another part of Australia or delaying your placement till there is more availability. No. The regional, rural and remote Practical Legal Training project has no restrictions on the age of applicants."
},
{
"question": "Will I be paid for my placement?",
"answer": "No. The placements are unpaid. They are accepted on a voluntary basis and there is no remuneration. Any time spent undertaking a voluntary, unpaid placement does not contribute to any subsequent period of emplyment (should you be later employed by the host legal service)."
},
{
"question": "What about travel and accommodation arrangements and costs?",
"answer": "At this stage the ANU Legal Workshop is the only PLT provider which may have funding available to help offset your travel and accommodation costs. Generally the cost of travel, accommodation and other living costs will be at the expense of the applicant. We note that in South Australia, the Law Foundation has grants of $1000 open to applicants undertaking their Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice or equivalent in a regional, rural or remote part of South Australia. It is unfortunate that this is not a practice adopted throughout Australia. We are currently researching funding possibilities for applicants undertaking their practical legal training placement in a regional, rural or remote area of Australia. The public legal assistance services that we work with often assist applicants to find cheap accommodation to make the placement as cost effective as possible. Some applicants apply to specific areas of the country because they have family or other connections in that area. Using our local knowledge, we do the best to help applicants find travel and accommodation services available in regional, rural or remote areas of Australia. I have a criminal record."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to disclose this to my host legal service?",
"answer": "Yes. We suggest disclosure of any issue which may affect your employment. You may want to discuss this with your practical legal training provider and work out a strategy which speaks to your more recent qualifications. Your behaviour illustrates your character and ultimately if you are a 'fit and proper person' to be admitted to the profession. Many host legal services will have procedures which they ask you to follow, prior to confirming a placement. One of these may be to agree to a criminal record check. Some jurisdictions require a 'working with children' or registration as a 'safe worker with vulnerable people'."

"question": "How can one protect a car against humidity?",
"answer": "In order to protect a car against humidity it is necessary to keep the relative humidity below 50%. At these conditions rust and mould will also be avoided."
},
{
"question": "Why do garages not protect against humidity ?",
"answer": "Garages are not sealed. Humidity from outside the garage enters through walls, windows, doors and floors. Due to lack of ventilation moisture is trapped, resulting in humid, corrosive conditions. Heated or unheated, above ground or below ground, vehicles will often suffer by the damaging effects of humidity. Moisture can be seen as droplets, appearing on walls and cars."
},
{
"question": "Why are vehicles from California relatively free from rust ?",
"answer": "Vehicles from California are often in good condition, even after 20 years or more. The reason for this is the low relative humidity. Low humidity prevents rust and mildew from accumulating, metal, wood, and leather remain intact."
},
{
"question": "What are the best means of protection against humidity ?",
"answer": "The best means of protection against humidity is achieved by prevention of moisture. Storage conditions of less than 50% relative humidity will guarantee a perfect climate for long term storage. Moisture within PermaBag is absorbed by means of PermaPack®, a special rechargeable moisture absorbing cylinder."
},
{
"question": "Can the PermaPack® cylinders be regenerated when they are full ?",

"question": "Can I change my status from B1/B2 (visitor) to F1 (student)?",
"answer": "All visas are issued by the United States State Department at an Embassy or Consulate of the United States. These facilities are located outside of the United States in all countries with which this government has diplomatic relations. The college does not issue any visas. However, the college does issue the I-20 which is one of the documents required to apply for an F-1 Visa. For the locations of US Embassies or Consulates, visit the US Embassy website. For more information about F-1 Student Visas, visit the U.S. Department of State website. The I-20A Form is called the “Certificate of Eligibility.” This form is issued from the college to the United States government to say your qualifications meet all standards for admission. The student must have an I-20 to apply for a student visa. The I-20 gives you permission to attend a specific school. The visa gives you permission to enter the United States to attend that school. You must apply and receive acceptance to the college. If you meet all admissions requirements, the college will issue an I-20. Standard processing time for complete applications is up to 2 weeks. The I-20 is prepared as soon as the student is accepted. If the student is a new student who does not yet have an F-1 Visa, the I-20 is mailed to the student in their country. If the student is already in the United States on a valid F-1 Visa, the I-20 is held in our office until the student has officially transferred to Pierce, registered to classes, and paid all tuition. If you are applying from outside the U.S., please note that Pierce ships via USPS Airmail which can take up to 3 weeks and does not include a tracking number. If you wish to have your packet sent via DHL, FedEx, or UPS at your cost, please let us know when you submit your application. To order expedited shipment of your acceptance packet, please visit the eShipGlobal website. You will need to create a student account and make a payment. You can complete this step after you have received an admission offer from the college. When a visa officer conducts your interview he or she will be reviewing your English skills, your financial resources and your intent to return to your home country when you finish your program. In countries where a lot of persons have not returned after the completion of their education, it can be very difficult to obtain a visa. However, it is the visa officer’s wish to assist you in pursuing your education in the United States as long as you meet the criteria for visa issuance. Be prepared for your visa interview. Bring all your original documents with you including but not limited to your I-20, your passport, proof of I-901 payment, DS-160 Confirmation Page, official transcripts, bank statements, etc. Be prepared to answer questions regarding your educational goal as well. Most visa interviews average around 5 minutes although this varies per person. Visit the website for the U.S. consulate in your home country for the most current information. First you must apply to the college and be accepted. If you are accepted, an I-20 is issued. You will need the I-20 to file for a change of status to F1. For questions relating to change of status, you must contact an immigration attorney."

"question": "Are degrees and certificates from Pierce recognized?",
"answer": "Our Course Catalog has complete course and degree information. Pierce College offers over 100 types of degrees and certificates. The college also prepares students for university transfer. Popular majors include (but are not limited to): Agriculture, Business Administration, Computer Science, Environmental Science, General Studies/University Transfer, Pre-Engineering/University Transfer, Pre-Nursing/Nursing, Theater Arts, and Pre-Vet/Veterinary Technology. No. Pierce does not have an intensive English language program. However, the college does offer college level English as a Second Language (ESL) courses although students are not admitted solely for English language studies. The 2+2 model is a popular choice for many students. A bachelor's degree in the U.S. requires a minimum of four years to complete. In the 2+2 model, the student finishes the first two years (or more) of transfer coursework at Pierce. This includes includes classes for major preparation and General Education (GE). A student may also complete an associate's degree and Pierce offers Associate's Degrees for Transfer (AD-T) in certain majors. Attending a community college is an attractive option for many students because tuition is generally less expensive and classes are smaller. *It's important to note that the actual time to finish a degree can vary based on certain circumstances. For example, prerequisite courses and unit load can affect the number of semesters required to complete a degree. All students will have the opportunity to meet with a counselor for an educational plan so that you will know what classes to take and when you need to apply for transfer. The cost of tuition for F-1 visa international students is $297 per unit (starting Fall 2019, the cost will be $311 per unit). In order to maintain a full-course load, an international student must enroll in a minimum of 12 units every fall and spring semester. Winter and summer sessions are optional. Tuition does not include other mandatory fees such as health insurance or the cost of books and supplies. View the International Students Tuition and Fee Schedule for more information. Pierce College is located in Woodland Hills, Southern California. Woodland Hills is an affluent suburb of Los Angeles located in the San Fernando Valley. The city is generally safe and clean. For more information about the San Fernando Valley, visit the Discover Los Angeles website (this is an external website not monitored by Pierce College). One of the benefits of living in the San Fernando Valley is that rent can be more affordable than living in other areas of Los Angeles. However, cities like Malibu, Hollywood, Brentwood, Venice Beach and Downtown Los Angeles are just a short drive away. No. Like most two-year colleges, Pierce does not have dorms. Most students live in apartments or home stays in the vicinity of the college. View our Housing page for more information. The Metro Bus System is available. The Orange Line has a stop at Pierce. A car certainly makes getting around the city much easier although many students find that they are able to function quite well without one. Visit the L.A. Metro website for more information including how to obtain a student TAP card at a discounted rate. Many of our students also ride bicycles to campus. There are bike racks set up at different locations of the campus so you can securely lock your bike when you attend class. No. Pierce does not have the resources to offer financial aid or scholarships to international students. Each student is expected to fund their education from their own resources. An international student may work on campus after successful completion of their first semester. Although the college does employ a number of international students every semester, employment is not guaranteed. Job availability depends upon department needs and available funding. Students may not accept employment off-campus without authorization from the college and/or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This authorization may only be obtained at times of extreme economic necessity or for approved practical training purposes. It depends on the country. The United States is one of the few countries in the world which requires a number of courses in what is called General Education (GE) in addition to major coursework. General Education provides opportunities for students to develop skills and knowledge from a variety of fields to help you understand the complex world in which you live. It will help you build a foundation for future coursework and lifelong learning. GE courses are required for both associate's degrees and bachelor's degrees. For most bachelor degree programs, GE coursework is generally completed during the first two years at a university. However, many Pierce College students complete their lower division GE requirements and major preparation coursework before transferring to a university. One of the advantages of doing this is that tuition is more affordable at Pierce College versus most universities. Thus, students may be able to save on tuition by completing their GEs at Pierce. Pierce is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). That means that courses completed at this college which are university level can be applied to programs at any other college or university in the United States. The associate's degree is more common in the United States than in other countries and you may experience some challenges in having the degree accepted. The college can assist in providing detailed information about course content and degree requirements."

"answer": "Yes! If you do not believe this, you can also convince yourself with a MYDRY trial pack. In the development of the MYDRY underarm pads we have clearly focused on the high wearing comfort. The goal was to develop an underarm pad which performs inconspicuously in every living situation and offers the user a high degree of security. Our development department has succeeded in creating a pad which is to be worn inconspicuously, does not creak or rustle and secure in many kinds of textiles, but can nevertheless be removed residue-free and without material damage."

{
"question": "How are MYDRY underarm pads used correctly?",
"answer": "1.) Open the MYDRY hygiene package at the pre-punched edge and pull the underarm pads off the silicone paper. 2.)

"question": "How do You match puppies?",
"answer": "When your name gets closer to the top of the deposit list, you and several other families will receive a puppy announcement via email. We ask families to view the pictures and descriptions and reply to us with their choices in order of preference. We match the puppies based on your preferences and the order in which the deposits were placed. You are always welcome to pass on a litter announcement if the timing isn’t best for you or you want to wait for something different. Unlike almost all other breeders, we don't \"lock you into\" a particular litter. We also offer a fully refundable deposit (minus a 5% processing fee)."
},
{
"question": "Can you explain your PARTNER/guardian home system?",
"answer": "I have a few dogs in my home, but most of the Crockett Doodles program dogs are raised in Partner Homes and Guardian Homes. My Partner Homes are close family or friends for whom I have bought a high-quality dog. They keep that dog in their home as their beloved pets and have occasional litters for the Crockett Doodles program which I oversee. Their puppies are born, raised and socialized with their family. We arrange for each of the puppies to go to forever homes, and the Partner Home, who helped raise the pups, gets much of the profit from the litter. Many of our Partner Home families live in beautiful Greenville, SC. Over the past several years, we've expanded to have partner homes in multiple locations: South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Michigan, Arizona, and California. Our Crockett Doodles Partner Homes in multiple states offer convenient pick up options for adopting families. Click here to see pictures and read bios of several of our Partner Homes. Guardian Homes also help with the Crockett Doodles program. We buy a high quality female doodle dog for our Guardian Homes, and they welcome the dog as a beloved family member. We oversee a few litters from each Guardian Home dog, where we take care of finding the exact right stud dog, oversee the breeding process, and take the mother dog to our house, a Partner Home, or a Surrogate Home, when she is due. The puppies will be raised at our house, a Partner Home, or a Surrogate Home. We give a monetary gift back to the Guardian Home for allowing us to use their dog. The primary difference between a Partner Home and a Guardian Home is that the Partner Home has the Mom as their family pet and raises the puppies, for a Guardian Home, the puppies are raised at another family's home. A Surrogate Home is a home that loves raising puppies. We've worked closely with friends who love raising puppies. We pay these homes to partner with us in raising occasional litters from Guardian Homes. At Crockett Doodles, we value home raised puppies that have been well-socialized. Most of our Partner homes, Guardian homes, and Surrogate homes have children. While it is not a pre-requisite, the extra attention that a puppy receives being raised around children is a huge plus. Partner Home: Partner homes are family members or close friends of the Crocketts, who have a wonderful pet dog, and raise occasional litters. Crockett Doodles invests a significant amount of time, training, and finances (often buying special equipment, cameras, etc) into these partner homes. Our partner homes are trusted with the Crockett Doodles bank account information and collecting adoption fees from forever families. Partner homes work in close contact with guardian homes and surrogate homes to be sure that each adult dog in the Crockett Doodles guardian home program and each pup that is being raised in a surrogate home are being given the best possible care. Guardian Home: Friends who love adopting a wonderful dog for free and are willing to let her have a few litters under someone else's care. Surrogate Home: Our Crockett Doodles surrogate homes enjoy being paid to raise a litter of puppies in their home, under strict supervision from Crockett Doodles, and in close harmony with the veterinary team. After raising a litter of pups and mom at their home for 8 weeks, we will help the surrogate home wean the puppies from mom. The mother dog will be returned to her guardian home where she continues to be a beloved pet, and we will take the 8 week old pups to a Crockett Doodles partner home to transition into their new life as they meet their forever family. Surrogate homes do not have to be close family friends of the Crocketts, are not given access to bank account information, and are not burdened with communication with forever families. Surrogate homes are families who are willing to responsibly raise a few litters a year of pups at their house and are paid well for doing so. Many full-time breeders have dog facilities (barns/kennels/etc) that people want to view to ensure that the conditions are acceptable to them. We have no “facilities.” Our parent dogs live in my home, our Partner Homes, or our Guardian Homes (see description above). Pups are raised at the Crockett’s Home, the Partner Homes or Surrogate Homes. Years ago when Crockett Doodles first started, we could have people into our homes to meet our dogs (who are pets first of all). As Crockett Doodles has expanded through the years, we wish that we could accommodate the numerous daily requests for visits, but it is no longer possible. Dr. Nathan Crockett is a full-time administrator and teacher at Bob Jones University, travels nationally to speak and has five young children at home. Welcoming daily visitors to his private home on Paris Mountain has become impossible. It is a similar situation for our partner homes, who have other professional jobs as well. We realize that not everyone is comfortable with this arrangement, and we have no problem encouraging families to seek out other full-time breeders who can accommodate visits to their kennels. Many “traditional” breeders have dozens of leftover puppies that they can show to you, so they’re thrilled to have you visit and buy a pup. We’ve been blessed to have more people wanting our pups than available supply. We can say that we've almost never had a family come to get a puppy and walk away without the pup. We think we have one of the best reputations in the dog world (click here to read reviews)."

{
"question": "what can I expect on my pick-up date?",
"answer": "Once you are matched to your new puppy, we will work with you to schedule a pick-up day and time around the time that your puppy is 8-12 weeks old. We assess each puppy individually and will let you know the best time for your puppy to make that transition to your home. We will take some pictures of you and your new puppy meeting for the first time. One of our trained staff members will walk you through our Puppy Quick Start Guide which includes helpful information about vet visits, choosing a groomer, our health guarantee, and tips on feeding and crate training. Your puppy's Vaccination Record will be given to you with all the vaccinations and de-worming medications and dates of administration your puppy has received thus far. We encourage you to give this record to your vet at your puppy's first appointment. You will be asked to sign our spay/neuter contract and will be given a receipt of purchase for your puppy. If you pick up in the state of SC, there will be a 6% sales tax. If you pick up in another state, or have your pup delivered to a state other than SC (70 cents/mile round-trip), you will not be charged sales tax. As stated in our application, all our puppies are sold as personal pets, not for breeding purposes. Our spay/neuter contract asks families to have their puppy spayed or neutered by their first birthday. We do not recommend spaying or neutering before 6 months of age as this can interfere with normal growth patterns. Whenever you choose to spay or neuter between the ages of 6 months and 1 year is completely up to you. If your veterinarian recommends waiting until after one year (particularly for large breeds such as Saint Berdoodles, Newfiedoodles, or Bernedoodles), we are fine with that. Your puppy should have the ability to sleep through the night. Sometimes they have a bit of an adjustment once they separate from their siblings but it doesn’t take long for them to adjust to their crate. (We've found that typically puppies can “hold it” half the number of hours of their age; so a 8 week old puppy can hold it 4 hours, a 10 week old puppy can hold it 5 hours, etc. At night you can usually add a couple hours to that formula.) During the day puppies seems to go through spurts where they have bursts of energy, and then they tucker out and sleep for a while. An eight week old puppy is still a baby and needs lots of sleep."
},
{
"question": "How far in advance do I need to reserve a Christmas puppy?",
"answer": "The average wait for one of our puppies is 1-3 months. Mid-to-late fall we begin getting lots of requests for Christmas puppies. While we are careful never to promise a pup by a certain date, we are always willing to include any deposit family in at least one announcement in the month of December. We also encourage families higher on our deposit list to consider waiting to be matched in January or February to allow a family with young children to have their Christmas surprise. Many families are happy to wait and other families prefer to postpone getting a December puppy to avoid the $200 Christmas fee that is applied to every December puppy (based on huge demand) or because they will be traveling for the holidays. We have found that we are able to accommodate many requests for Christmas puppies this way."

"question": "Do you offer delivery options?",
"answer": "While we do not ship puppies, we have had families fly in from all over the US (and even Canada and Mexico) to pick up their new puppy from us in Greenville, SC. Most airlines allow a passenger to carry their puppy on the plane with them in a soft carrier under their seat. We find that the puppies travel very well. We also have Guardian Homes who are willing to hand deliver puppies for a standard rate of 70 cents per mile round-trip in the continental US. Additional pups delivered to the same location will be $100 each for delivery. So if three family members (or neighbors) each got a doodle puppy delivered, you could save on delivery costs. Some families take advantage of this option and request their new puppy be delivered the entire way. Other families request to meet part-way. For families who fly in to adopt their puppy, we’ve had many who have found better airline options into Charlotte or Atlanta than Greenville-Spartanburg (GSP) and have requested their puppy be delivered to them at the Charlotte airport or Atlanta airport. Remember, too, that if the adoption takes place outside of SC, you won’t need to pay sales tax."
},
{
"question": "Will I receive a list of Vaccinations that my puppy has received?",
"answer": "On Adoption Day, you will receive your puppy's Vaccination Record that will have listed the two vaccinations your puppy has received as well as the dates of administration. Typically, our puppies receive Neopar and Nobivac Canine 1-DAPPv (Canine Distemper Virus, Adenovirus 2, Parainfluenza Virus, Parvovirus). Also noted on the Vaccination Record will be the de-worming medications your puppy has received to date. This Vaccination Record is designed for you to give to your vet at your puppy's first visit so that the next required vaccinations can be scheduled. Most vets recommend a 12-week and a 16-week vaccination as well as other vaccinations for your puppy's continued health."

{
"question": "Do you do health/genetic testing (Including hip testing)?",
"answer": "We are currently in the process of getting our parent dogs health tested. In general, we're working with Partner Homes and Guardian Homes to test for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), von Willebrand's Disease Type I (vWD 1), Hair/Coat Curl, and Hair/Coat Furnishings (IC). The coat testing is not as much about genetic problems as it is trying to breed for wavy/curly doodles more than straight coated doodles. For some of our doodle breeds, we are working to do the testing on specific issues that could be a problem for that particular breed. For instance in addition to the 6 genetic tests listed above, Labradoodles can be tested for Centronuclear Myopathy (CNM), Cystinuria, Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), and Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis (HNPK); these four issues are occasionally found in Labrador Retrievers. (Cystinuria is also a good test for Newfiedoodles and Newfoundlands can be prone to this issue). We pay for all of the genetic testing for dogs in Partner Homes and Guardian Homes and do not use a dog to breed that has any genetic issue we are aware of. We've let people know through the years, that once all of our breeding dogs have been fully tested we will likely increase our prices, as it is expensive/time-consuming to get all of the testing done. Some veterinarians that we have talked to are not fully aware of every type of test that should be done for a doodle. We strive to have doodles of excellent health, temperament, and looks to go to wonderful forever homes. For hip testing, we are in the process of testing all of our larger breeds (Newfiedoodles, Bernedoodles, Sheepadoodles, Saint Berdoodles, and Pyredoodles). We have had a few parent dogs that we have had to remove from our program because they did not have ideal hips. I respect the rare Doodle breeders who have all the testing done, even on their minis. I'm not aware of any breeder who does all of the DNA testing and hip-testing whose adoption prices are not considerably higher than ours. 1. Some of my guardian homes are uncomfortable sedating their smaller dog for the x-rays. 2. Hip Dysplasia is primarily a problem for large breed heavy framed dogs (70 pounds or more) or pitbull/bulldog type of dogs, Labs also can have issues. 4. Secondly, Poodles are one of the best breeds for not getting hip dysplasia (only 8.5% of those tested are dysplastic); 84 breeds rank ahead of them. Since I specialize in F1b pups, they are 75% Poodle, from separate genetic lines, and with the addition of hybrid vigor, I estimate that in our mini doodles, there would be about a 5-7% chance that one of our adult breeders may be dysplastic. My vet friend assures me that we would easily recognize it in our females, since we don't like to breed dogs until they are at least 2 years old. We did remove one female from our program before she was a year old, because she showed signs of dysplasia. 5. I think it is for these reasons that if you look at the OFA's website, you'll find that although some breeds have had more than 100,000 dogs tested, there have only been 288 Labradoodles tested since 1974, and fewer than 100 Goldendoodles. We are one of the rare doodle breeders who likes to test, but we don't require it for our minis. All of our puppies come with a one-year health guarantee, and if you decide to use TLC Pet Food (the puppy food we recommend) we extend the health guarantee to three years. With the thoroughness of our guarantee it is definitely one of \"the best in the business.\" To read our full health guarantee, click here. Through the years, we consistently strive for 100% customer satisfaction. Every week, we receive glowing testimonies from those who got a doodle from us previously. Read a sampling of those here. We highly recommend TLC Puppy Food, and we think it is the best food on the market. We switched our dogs to it late last year, and we have seen a noticeable difference in their health. TLC is only available online and is not sold in stores, so you will probably want to place your order soon! (Click on this link to receive a discount on your first order: www.tlcpetfood.com/68765-1025) TLC is often made 3-5 days before it is shipped to your door for free, is only sold through top quality breeders, has an auto-ship feature so you’ll never run out, and is similar in price to brands such as Blue Wilderness. It is our favorite food by far, and I believe in its quality so strongly, that I extend our one-year health guarantee to three years for families who feed TLC."

"question": "where will I pick up my puppy?",
"answer": "Right now our main location is in Greenville, SC, so most likely you will be picking up your puppy there. We have several other partner locations, but those locations do not yet have as many Partner Homes, Guardian Homes, and Surrogate Homes, as we have in Greenville. Greenville, SC is where Crockett Doodles started and continues to be our central hub. Many of our partner homes are faculty, staff, or administration of Bob Jones University, or are closely connected to the Crockett family through local Greenville churches. Many families in nearby states do choose to use our delivery service (70 cents/mile round-trip) which also means they save on sales tax."

"question": "Won't my child have trouble understanding the teacher?",
"answer": "No. Our bilingual teachers use specific techniques to make sure every child understands and is able to participate. Amazingly, over the course of the first two or three months students absorb enough of the new language to start using it. Although their active vocabulary is still very small, children will be able to understand most verbal communication. Preschool and Kindergarten options are full-day or half-day; older grades are full day programs, five days per week."

"question": "Closest focus (cm) As 80mm f2.8?",
"answer": "Other characteristics Rare 'Budget' lens. From notes in C330 and C330s manuals, this lens was manually cocked. The shutter and aperture index and the cocking lever are on the right, adjacent to the shutter release lever. This is completely at odds with all the other lenses in the range. The shutter release lever will move even if the lens is not cocked – which can fool the double exposure prevention mechanism. Appears to have been discontinued during the life of the C330 as it is not cited in the system chart, though several chrome lenses are included. A Copal shutter was used, and the aperture ring has no click-stops. Other characteristics The 105mm D appears to be an optical re-design from the earlier 105mm black, with a consequent change in back-focus. At the moment the best evidence suggests that only the last DS variant had a viewing lens diaphragm and depth of field calculator ring. Most users agree that the DOF preview is of limited utility, but the DOF calculator is useful if treated conservatively. Long focus. Focus scales may not match on pre C330s cameras. The D or DS engraving is in red. Other characteristics The lens diaphragm and shutter is located behind the lens elements, and is exposed when the rear cap is removed. Long focus design. Other characteristics Optical redesign from the earlier version. The filter ring is very thin and exposed, and is easily dented. Some lenses come with alloy rings which stiffen the threads when filters are not attached. Telephoto design, which is more complex than the earlier model. The word 'Super' is engraved on the bezel around the front element in red, and the ‘180’ engraving on top of the viewing lens is also red. One example has been reported that does not have the ‘180’ engraving and the shutter is marked ‘Seiko – SLV’. Other characteristics Manual cocking on all bodies. Telephoto design. Cited in an American distributor's catalogue as early as 30th March 1967, but actual availability is unknown."

One half of all money raised is given back in the form of cash prizes. Because it's limited to 100 members aged 16 or over and who live or own property or a business within the Alston Moor Parish boundary or who have close connections (e.g. family ties) with Garrigill."

The treasurer is the treasurer of the Village Hall Trustees, currently Tim Haldon of Rowantree, 1 Gatehead, Garrigill, CA9 3EB. The secretary is the secretary of the Village Hall Trustees, currently Clive Mitchell of Glendale, Garrigill, CA9 3EB. The 100 Club is a Small Society Lottery under the Gambling Act 2005 and is registered with the Charity Commission under number 1000874 and with Eden District Council."
},
{
"question": "How often does the lottery draw take place?",
"answer": "The lottery draw takes place each month. Each draw is conducted in the presence of three or more persons including at least one Village Hall Trustee and one independent member of the public. A single entry costs £1. There is no limit on the number of entries you can have each month. There are three cash prizes every month. There is also an additional bonus draw each August. Each month, half of all money raised by the lottery becomes the prize money. This is apportioned as follows: 1st prize: 50%, 2nd prize: 20%, 3rd prize: 10%. The remaining 20% is carried forward to the December Annual Draw. For example, if 100 members each bought a single £1 entry, half of the £100 income would generate prizes of £25, £10 and £5, with one annual prize of £120. If there were 80 such members, the monthly prizes would be £20, £8 and £4, with an annual prize of £96. Collecting £1 from each member every month would be a daunting task. That's why we ask you to pay for 12 monthly entries in advance. A single entry each month means a year's subscription of £12. Some members pay £2 or more a month to boost their winning chances and increase their charitable contribution to the Hall. To keep things simple, it really helps if you pay by standing order. Alternatively, you can pay in cash or by cheque in favour of \"Garrigill Village Hall\". Click here for full details. Click here for details. You'll be allotted a personal number to keep throughout your 100 Club membership and which will used for every draw. You get extra personal numbers when you buy two or more entries each month. The monthly and annual draws are made using the personal numbers of all members whose payments are up to date. Your first draw will start in the month following receipt of your first payment and then continues every month. Members are excluded from the draw in any month or months for which payment has not been received. Prolonged delay or lapse in payment may result in termination of membership and reallocation of personal number(s)."
},
{
"question": "How are the lottery subscriptions managed?",
"answer": "The Lottery bank account, to which all receipts are credited and from which all prizes are paid, is managed by the treasurer. As required by law, a full summary of all payments and receipts is submitted to Eden District Council. Half of all entry money received is paid out as cash prizes. All profits are applied for the purposes of Garrigill Village Hall. Prizewinners receive their prize money in cash by personal delivery or by posted cheque.

https://horizontravelpress.com/guides/cuba-unwrapped-026/cuba-faqs | [
{
"question": "Why does Cuba have two currencies?",
"answer": "Cuba has a somewhat complex dual currency system, using both the Cuban Peso (Moneda Nacional / CUP) and the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC). The CUP is the everyday currency for Cubans: people are paid in CUP and it’s what they use on public transport, in state-owned stores, etc. Tourists will use the CUC to pay for pretty much everything: hotels, meals, entry to museums, concerts, etc., although there’s nothing stopping you from getting your hands on some CUP for small purchases such as ice cream, snacks and street food. An easy way to remember the difference: CUP bills have pictures of national heroes, while CUC bills have pictures of national monuments."
},
{
"question": "How do I exchange money?",
"answer": "Cuban currency isn’t available internationally, so you’ll need to bring cash with you and exchange it when you arrive. The CUC is pegged to the US dollar (1:1) and there is a 10 per cent fee for exchanging US dollars. It’s best to exchange money at a bank, at bureaus (casa de cambio), airports or hotels. Never change money with anyone on the street, no matter how friendly or honest they may look."
},
{
"question": "Will my credit card work in Cuba?",
"answer": "Most European and Canadian credit cards will work as normal in Cuba. Cards from European and Canadian banks should work in ATMs, although fees may vary (in addition to your bank fee). It’s always smart to check with your bank before you travel. Most American debit and credit cards won’t work in Cuba, either for making payments or in ATMs. Bring plenty of cash and leave the plastic behind. Organised tours will use private cars or minibuses for small and private groups, or larger buses for big group tours. Depending on your itinerary you may take a short internal flight, such as from Havana to Santiago. Flight services can be unreliable, but your tour operator will handle any complications."
},
{
"question": "Is Cuba child and family friendly?",
"answer": "Cubans are fanatical about children and will go out of their way to bring a smile to their faces, but the tourist infrastructure is still fairly patchy and facilities for infants and younger children can be lacking. For Americans on “people-to-people” trips, a packed, cultural itinerary with little beach time might not be ideal for younger kids but could make an eye-opening experience for adolescents. If travelling with infants be sure to bring enough diapers and formula for your entire trip, as stores often run short. On the plus side, children are never seen as an annoyance in Cuba and they will be given constant attention. Remember that it’s a touchy-feely culture – don’t be upset by friendly patting and hair stroking, it’s all meant with the utmost affection. There are no specific shots required for Cuba, aside from the standard travel vaccinations (exact recommendations vary by country / healthcare provider). That said there are a number of illnesses that travellers should be aware of, most notably dengue and zika – both of which are carried by mosquitoes. Practice common sense mosquito precautions, bring a good repellent and use it liberally, especially during dusk and evening. Unboiled tap water should be avoided. If you’re served drinking water or juice it will probably be bottled water, but feel free to double check without causing any offence. Cuba is one of the safest countries in the Americas. You can feel at ease even in the biggest cities and most crime is non-violent, opportunistic theft. Practice the same common sense you’d use anywhere else: don’t wear flashy jewelry, keep an eye on your valuables and don’t find yourself on a quiet street late at night. Mild annoyances in the cities include hustlers trying to sell you fake cigars, offering to exchange dodgy money in the street, or other sharp-talking (but usually good natured) con artists. Keep your wits about you and you’ll enjoy a perfectly pleasant trip."

"question": "Belva, you want to say hey?",
"answer": "BRIAN NORTON: Belva is our vision team lead here at Easter Seals Crossroads. I also have in the room Josh. BRIAN NORTON: Josh is the manager of our clinical assistance technology program at Crossroads. And also Wade Wingler. BRIAN NORTON: Wade is the popular host of the AT Update podcast and a VP here at Easter Seals crossroads. For those that are new listeners, I want to give you a little bit of information about our show. Throughout the weeks, we receive feedback and come across various assistive technology-related questions. We put those together and come up with a show. The entire show is us sitting around looking at the questions you have sent in and trying to provide our best answers to those. We also ask that as listeners you join in and help us better answer those questions by providing feedback. We love to hear from you. We have a variety of ways for you to reach out to us. We have a listener line at 317-721-7124. We also have an email address, [email protected]. And also a twitter feed with the hashtag ATFAQ. We monitor that and look for those opportunities for you to ask questions but also answer the question yourself if you have some additional information that maybe we don’t cover in the show. Without further ado, the first thing we do in the show is look at feedback from this past week. We have a couple of instances of that. The first one is from David. SPEAKER: My name is David Ward. I’m an assistive technology instructor and Southwest Virginia where I work for new vision. I’m calling in response to one of the questions on ATFAQ, episode 58, where there was a question about placing phone calls from Amazon echo. My nonprofit and my class has been specifically focusing on a $20,000 grant where we have been buying Amazon echo’s for elderly individuals and those with vision loss in our community. I’m experienced with about 20 to 30 placements of those. I think the team accurately answered the scenarios of placing cause and the limitations of echo to echo. I would add an additional thought. I’m an AT&T wireless customer, and there are a handful of skills possible. You would have to look at your carrier and see if it has Alexa integration. Under my current plan, I can set up 10 phone numbers that I can designate and link to my AT&T account. Using my Amazon echo, I can place a text message and send it out. The limitations of that is you can’t – at least at the moment – reversed that and have the echo it read out a text message that you received. Of course that place is under the limitation on the person who asked the question who said they didn’t have a cellular phone line. That would be another issue. There are carriers that have things like that. Perhaps you could see if there is a skill for VoIP service, Voice over IP, or something like that. Just some future proofing, you did mention an iPad and Siri and things like that. Limitations that were mentioned about commanding it to call somebody and different things and not picking up as well, that of course is hardware limitation with the microphone. Later in the year there is supposed to be the HomePod released by Apple. That’s supposed to add some functionality. Additionally at Google I/O, the competing product, Google Home, which we also have in our classroom, does a really good job of picking up your voice just as good as the echo. They’ve announced – if I recall correctly – and integration that will allow you to place phone calls and, I would imagine, text messages. With both instances, I would imagine – and I imagine echo is going to try to compete in that space as well – I would imagine you are probably going to need a cellular connection or an android phone link to the Google Home or HomePod from Apple, I imagine an iPhone or some other connection. The only exception to that might be VoIP service. BRIAN NORTON: That’s great feedback. Thank you for giving us a call. Belva, you also had a couple of things to add about making phone calls. BELVA SMITH: We talked in the last show about the information had been released that the Google Home would allow us to place phone calls. The Verge has released an article that says that that is now available. Less than 30 minutes ago, I attempted to have the Google Home I have placed a call. It still tells me that service isn’t available in my area, try again in a few days. Hopefully any day soon it will be able to place calls to individuals that are in my Google contacts, and also a cell phone connected to the account isn’t going to be necessary because it is using the Wi-Fi. They did say something about using your Google plus phone number. If you don’t have one of those set up, your call will go as an unidentified caller. If you do, that number will show up as the person who is calling. I have not heard anything about it possibly being able to text so I don’t know if that’s going to be a possibility. BRIAN NORTON: Interesting technology. It’s great to see them integrate that type of functionality into those types of devices. BELVA SMITH: David had a good suggestion with this device that we are expecting from Apple. It could possibly be the one that will be the best at all of them. It’s going to need to do something because otherwise it’s coming into the market way too late. BRIAN NORTON: It’s one of those learning curves. They will have to catch up over time. I wanted to get to another piece of feedback. This is from Sherry. She was calling in response to a question we had about ago about alternatives to the KNFB reader. SPEAKER: Hi, my name is Sherry. This question or comment is for the Assistive Technology Frequently Asked Questions show. It is in response to one of your shows you had quite a while ago now. It’s about an app I think works just as well as the KNFB reader and is read. The name is Microsoft Seeing AI, as in artificial intelligence. The app has what they call different channels. One of the channels is a short text reader in which you just move – in this case I’m using an iPhone – camera over what you want it to read and it just reads it and is great for identifying mail that needs to be looked at further or thrown away, that type of thing. There is a document reader which works just like KNFB reader. There is also a product reader which read barcodes. There are two others, person and scene readers. Those both are still need a little work. They don’t work quite as well but are fun to play with. Again, that’s Seeing AI, made by Microsoft. BRIAN NORTON: That’s a great piece of information. I took a look at the website and it seems like it does a lot of good things. Belva, you mentioned earlier that you’ve heard some really good things about it as well. BELVA SMITH: Sherry, thank you for bringing it to our listeners attention. Just to add what she provided, the best part of Seeing AI is it’s free. In comparison to the KNFB reader app, in my opinion that makes it better because it’s not $100. Also Microsoft has a pretty significant team that is working very hard to make this product better and better. I need day, if not already, it is also going to have a money identifier available. It has an enormous number of barcodes already available to it. I say kudos to Microsoft because they have worked very hard to make this product good. BRIAN NORTON: It’s great when mainstream companies like Microsoft and these big players in the tech industry get involved in the world of assistive technology and start designing apps. Instead of buying an app, they actually design one from the ground up and make something that is super useful. BELVA SMITH: When they first started – I listened to a podcast about this just a week or so ago. When they first started developing this, they didn’t envision that it would be free."
},
{
"question": "At the end of development as they were getting ready to get it out, they thought how are we going to get everyone to give us a try?",
"answer": "They decided the best way would be to put it out for free. They were right because there are a lot of people using it. BRIAN NORTON: I may after the recording go grab my phone and get it downloaded to my iPad and phone as well."
},
{
"question": "Is it iPad compatible or just on the phone?",
"answer": "BELVA SMITH: I don’t know but I am assuming it would work on the iPad. JOSH ANDERSON: I would think so but I have only use it on my phone. I’m pretty sure you can use it on both. BELVA SMITH: A lot of times — like, the KNFB reader app says it will only work on the phone but I use it on the iPad. BRIAN NORTON: We are going to jump into questions. The first one was a voicemail from Pedro. We will read the question. Pedro has a daughter with low vision and is wondering how he can connect an iPad wirelessly to a smart board in the classroom. From our recollection, it’s wanting what is on the smart board to show up on the iPad, not putting the iPad on the smart board. I’ll open it up to folks in the room and see what you think. WADE WINGLER: One of the programs that does this, and I’ve used this for the other way, taking an iPad and projecting it on the screen, but I haven’t used it this way. There is a program called Reflector 2 from a company with a funny name, Air Squirrels. They have a product that allows you to push screens around in different ways. If you buy Reflector 2 for $15 for a single license, you can get free copies of Reflector Student. What that allows you to do is run the Reflector 2 on the smart board — assuming that the smart board is some sort of PC, Windows or Mac, and then you can push that content out to smart devices or computers or phones that students have in the classroom. The nice thing is Reflector 2 is $15 and the student version is free. According to my experience and research I’ve done on the website, it should work pretty well. The student can decide whether or not to share the screens and to what devices and it supposedly works on all kinds of devices whether they are laptops or chrome books or android tablets or iOS devices. The website is airsquirrels.com, and the products you want to look at are Reflector 2 and Reflector Student. BRIAN NORTON: When I first listened to the question, I was under the impression it was making the iPad show up on the smart board. But if you think about trying to make it go the other way – I’ve always said direct connect things when you can because it will be more reliable. I’m not really sure you can push out something from a PC to an android device with a direct connection. WADE WINGLER: I don’t think so. BRIAN NORTON: I think that might be our best answer to that. The Mac there is no way you can do it with a direct connection to the tablet. WADE WINGLER: There is no input for the tablet, only output."

{
"question": "Or would it be a picture of the screen?",
"answer": "I know I’ve run into that problem sometimes doing remote trainings and things like that. It is hard to use some of the assistive pieces. WADE WINGLER: Voiceover is definitely not going to work. A screen reader is definitely not going to work. I don’t know about using the built-in magnifier, whether or not that will work. BELVA SMITH: That’s two different things, the magnifier and the pinch and stretch. That’s what I thought he was wanting, for her to be able to zoom in and zoom out quickly. JOSH ANDERSON: Even being able to do that two-tap or three-tap and make everything larger. Maybe they’ll just have to play around with it a little bit to see which way works best. Hopefully one of those will work. BELVA SMITH: It’s not that expensive to give it a try. BRIAN NORTON: It’s not something we’ve messed around with here at our shop couple maybe there are some other listeners who have had some experience with that and want to provide feedback and let us know how it worked for you. We’d love to hear from you. A way you can let us know would be our email address, [email protected]. You can also give us a call on our listener line at 317-721-7124. BRIAN NORTON: Our next question is one I get a lot. It has to do with what type of ideas or suggestions do you have for assistive technology components that should be considered for public access workstations. Specifically the question this past week was about a library system. They are interested in putting in some public access workstations for a library and what kind of suggestions when we have for that. Out just start out our conversation. That is something we’ve had some experience here at Easter Seals crossroads over the years. Probably for the past 10 or 15 years, we’ve been working with different partners, Work One offices, and library systems here in Indiana – our Work One offices here are the unemployed offices throughout the state – putting in some public access workstations for them. Before, I think what we had done is we looked at what the leading product is in a lot of areas from screen readers to voice input software to magnification software and look at what the leading product is, and we recommend that product. What I found over the years is the financial resources to sustain and maintain that equipment – this is usually one time money, so when you purchase something, there isn’t the opportunity six months later to do any updates. Technology gets old pretty quickly, get outdated pretty quickly. Then you are stuck with a mission that is not going to do what you thought it was going to do, at least for the long haul. What we’ve done here most recently in Indiana is started to look at using what’s on the machine. If you think about voice input software on Windows, it’s pretty good these days. It’s in the control panel under speech recognition. It also has the built-in magnifier, and some of the new versions of Windows there are some added features that make it more useful than it has been in the past. Again, looking at those built-in technologies as options for folks to let them know that — it’s not the greatest piece of software, but for public access, it’s good enough most of the time. And as you think about the future, a year or two down the road, those get updated with the operating system. If you’re updating the operating system on your other machines, you’ll be able to update the operating system on this machine, and those products are going to continue to get better. Like we were mentioning earlier, Microsoft and this new seeing AI, they are developing products that are within Windows as well and make those better. We started look at what is built into Windows, things like voice recognition and, screen magnifier. I still think JAWS is your option for screen reader. Maybe NVDA because it’s free, it’s good enough and does a pretty good job for folks. The other things I was thinking about work for folks who are hard of hearing and some other things. As far as computer access and public access, there is not much you would need to do. Maybe go down in the control panel and turn on things like sound century and things like that that gives you textbased warnings."

"question": "Other thoughts on public access workstations for folks?",
"answer": "JOSH ANDERSON: One thing is really important is the desk or area. You need something that will be adjustable and go up and down. Folks with different abilities will need to get underneath the workstation to be able to use it. BELVA SMITH: That’s where I was going. I totally agree with you, Brian. Save the money you would have five years ago spent on the software packages and invested that money into the seating and desk and maybe the headsets, microphones, that kind of thing. Absolutely, especially on the Windows, Microsoft are going to keep the adaptive software updated as they do the operating system. Your chairs and extra keyboards, mice, those are still going to be good a year or two from now. Maybe having an alternative method for the mouse, keyboard, that kind of stuff would be a better investment. BRIAN NORTON: Absolutely. The other thing I’ve talked to a lot when we do these public access workstations, these are regular computers. They run the same software that all your other computers do. I feel like there is a little bit of a stigma with these computers because they have the adaptive technology on them, and only people with disabilities should be using those machines. They end up never being used or being used rarely. I always encourage people in these places to say it’s just like every other computer. If you are out of other computers, have someone sit down here. It does the same thing. You can push those adaptive tools out of the way and put them on the back shelf or out of your immediate space. Just use the computer like you would any other computer as well and not leave it as a disability-only workspace if you will. WADE WINGLER: We’ve mostly focused on computer access. One other thing I find you get the most bang for your buck and a public library is a traditional desktop video magnifier. If you think about the people who come into the library, when I’m there, I see a lot of folks who are older where you have higher incidences of macular degeneration and those things. Don’t overlook the value of having a regular desktop video magnifier in the library. They are easy to maintain car train. I see people using those may be more than the abductive computer workstations. I just thought I would throw that in. BRIAN NORTON: I would say put it on a cart so they can be brought anywhere in the library. That’s an important piece. The things we end up doing with public access workstations, we actually spent time up front interviewing folks trying to figure out the people needs are that are attending that place. If you have a high volume of folks with macular degeneration or vision issues, let’s spend more of our money looking at vision equipment. Or if you have a large population of folks who are hard of hearing, maybe we need to beef up that area of technology. BELVA SMITH: I think it’s important to remember that no matter how much you do, you won’t be able to accommodate every single individual need. But you can certainly hit a large number. BRIAN NORTON: We always refer to it as the 20/80 rule: taking twenty percent of the technology out there to meet about eighty percent of the needs. There are folks that need some specialized types of equipment and you aren’t going to be able to address it in that public setting that well. WADE WINGLER: I guess a couple of things I would add is sometimes it’s helpful to think about the lower tech things like having quiet rooms that are indicated so that people know if they have somebody who is sensitive to sounds or lights, you have a smaller room you can control some of that. Or if you have a kiddo who might be having some unpleasant behaviors, making people on your staff know that here is where somebody can go to find someplace that is quiet and out-of-the-way. The other thing is to address those attitudinal barriers with library staff as well. You can maybe not have all the assistive technology, but if you have a really good library staff who are well informed and know what their resources are, that will go a long way as well. Education is always a big component of that. JOSH ANDERSON: You touched on a big part of that, which is training. Just training to know where these things are. Like Brian said, those built in things can be on any workstation. Some of it can help folks who don’t have – just having things a bit bigger makes things easier to read for any of us. Training is a big part of it. Brown that I’ll add to that, not just the clients that will use it but also training for staff. BRIAN NORTON: We started to also do videos. We do the print materials but always find that with turnover and things like that in these public settings, these paper manuals we create, they are there one day and gone the next. The past couple of times we’ve done these workstations as we have done a video training for folks. We put it on YouTube and they can reference back to that YouTube video whenever they want. For new staff that are coming in it, they have to sit down through the hour, hour and a half video talking about the technology cow what it is, how it works, and who it is useful for. I think that hits the public access workstations, what to think about, and some ideas. If any of our listeners want to chime in on this, we would love to hear from you guys. You can send us an email at [email protected]. We would love to hear back from you. BRIAN NORTON: Our next question came internally."

"question": "WADE WINGLER: This isn’t Brian from Columbus Ohio?",
"answer": "BRIAN NORTON: This is Belva from Indianapolis. BELVA SMITH: I get this question a lot which is how can I make my iPhone be just a little bit louder with the ring, voiceover, and all that. Of course you can do a Bluetooth speaker, but that takes away some of your portability. One of the tricks I found is if you go into your settings and move all the way down to music, and then double tap the EQ, and go down and double tap “Late Night.” I would assume that late night would be quieter, but actually it’s a little bit louder. I do notice with mine turned on, it’s also a little crackly. While it may be louder, the sound to me was not as clear. That’s one of the tricks I’ve been sharing with my folks. It was actually one of my clients that told me that was what he was doing, and it really does sound different."
},
{
"question": "BRIAN NORTON: What were the steps again?",
"answer": "BELVA SMITH: You go to settings, which in my case is on my home screen. Scroll down to “Music,” which is close to the bottom. Scroll down to where it says “EQ.” Currently most people will have it turned off. Touch it once and that will open up your EQ sounds. Scroll down to the “Late Night,” and that turns on the late night. BRIAN NORTON: I didn’t even realize the iPhone had an equalizer."
},
{
"question": "WADE WINGLER: Another low-tech solution I have found: have you ever taken your hand and cupped it around your iPhone to make it a little bit louder?",
"answer": "BELVA SMITH: You can also drop it in a solo cup, and that will make it significantly louder. JOSH ANDERSON: I use that a lot. WADE WINGLER: There are some products – I haven’t used them and we can’t endorse them – some things called sound reflectors or sound vendors that you can buy off of Amazon for four dollars. They are plastic versions of your hand cupping around the edge of the phone. They clip over the edge of the phone and deflect the sound back to you. That might be something if you need more. JOSH ANDERSON: A lot of places have cute ones, an elephant and it somehow comes out the trunk. They are usually not very expensive. BELVA SMITH: When I’m in the car using GPS, I drop my phone down into the cup holder because that does kind of the same thing. WADE WINGLER: Word of warning: those cup should be empty, not full of your favorite beverage. BRIAN NORTON: Make sure the bottom of the cup holder itself doesn’t have something sticky in it. JOSH ANDERSON: Don’t do it in Brian’s car. BRIAN NORTON: When your McDonald’s cup leaks through and it leaves a brown stain in the bottom of your cup holder – not that I’ve ever seen that before."
},
{
"question": "WADE WINGLER: Speaking from experience, Mr. Norton?",
"answer": "JOSH ANDERSON: You have to leave those in a long time for them to start leaking. BRIAN NORTON: Dag-nab-it, my phone is stuck in my cup holder again! BRIAN NORTON: Our next question is from Lucy about the Amigo HD magnifier. She was interested in our perspectives about the pros and cons of the amigo or pebble lineup from enhanced division. One thing out there out before we start jumping into this question is we don’t endorse any products. We provide services. WADE WINGLER: I really like Jiff peanut butter. That when I feel pretty comfortable in endorsing. Today show is brought to you by – I wish. BRIAN NORTON: With enhanced division, you have a couple of different sizes of handheld magnifiers. You have the Amigo HD, a seven inch screen, comes with your stated magnification features like making things bigger, smaller. You can also take a still picture of something, a freeze-frame option. You can also change your color contrast. It’s a seven inch screen. One of the things Lucy had mentioned in her voicemail was that she didn’t want the big screen. JOSH ANDERSON: She’s looking for real portability. BRIAN NORTON: To have a couple of other options. The Pebble 4.3 inch is another. We have had some experience with the Pebble. It’s a little bit smaller. You’re not going to be able to see as much when you’re looking at stuff. It does come with a handle which is nice. If you are out and about and need to grab something or get in an awkward position to view something, having that handle is really useful. It comes with the same features, change contrast, change magnification, do a freeze-frame. I think there is an HDMI-out to be able to put it onto a bigger screen. I think the differences between the Amigo HD, the seven inch, it’s bigger, does not have a handle; and the Pebble HD is a bit smaller, 4.3 inch, and does have a handle and is useful. It depends on what you are wanting to use it for. They also have the pebble many. I don’t know about the pebble many. I haven’t had a lot of experience with that. BELVA SMITH: I am not a fan of the minis because you are using this because you have to make things bigger. With the smaller screens, you really can’t make things too big or your nesting enough. For example, you can’t magnify a phone number two times and see it. BELVA SMITH: You really need a very low level of magnification to be able to do anything with those smaller screens. I would suggest for Lucy to look for her local AT Act and find out what handheld magnifiers that they might have available that you can actually put her hands on and try out. One of the things I find as we do evaluations with these things, everybody has a preference on where the buttons are located and how tactile the buttons are or are not, how it feels in your hands, does it have a built-in stand so you can send it up so if you need to sign a check or something like that. Years ago, there was a handful of these things, and now there are literally so many of them anywhere from $300-$1300. It really important to try to get your hands on one and find out which one works best for you."
},
{
"question": "Also, do you need it to do any kind of distance viewing?",
"answer": "If so you’re not going to be able to do that with one that has a handle. There may be one that will do it. BELVA SMITH: I was thinking that you were looking at the amigo HD. I wanted to make sure you were also aware of the Zoom max seven inch, because it’s about $300 cheaper and pretty much does the same thing. They all pretty much do the same thing. You have contrast, freeze-frame, zoom in, zoom out, handle, no handle. BRIAN NORTON: I think you are right, Belva. Getting a hold of your AT act, laying out a bunch of different magnifiers in front of you and see how they look, how they feel, get them in your hands, figure out if it fits you very well. BELVA SMITH: And what kind of batteries it takes. It’s a batteries you can change yourself. I will warn you as you are shopping for these, some of the lower-cost ones do not include batteries you can change. That can be problematic if you have to send it back in to get the battery changed. BRIAN NORTON: It gets expensive. JOSH ANDERSON: Borrowing one and figuring out what works best for you is very important because none of them are inexpensive by any means. Something else you can also do, and it depends on what Lucy is looking for, iPad and those devices have built in magnifiers. For about the same price, you might be able to end up with something a little bit larger, lightweight, they can do other things besides modification. Having that built-in has changed a little bit and made it easier to use. I don’t remember how big an iPad mini is, about seven inches. WADE WINGLER: I use one all the time but I don’t measure it. JOSH ANDERSON: I know the regulars are 9.7 inch. I figure it’s about 7 inches. WADE WINGLER: It’s 7.9 according to Google. BELVA SMITH: I have a couple of folks that have a brother, sister, mother, somebody that has an older iPhone or smartphone that they are no longer using, so they are not paying any extra monthly service charge for it but are not using it as a phone. They are simply using it as a handheld magnifier. That’s easy to do, for free. Maybe you have a relative or friend that has an older phone they are not using anymore and would be willing to give it to you and let you use it because you can use the camera on it to take a picture and pinch and stretch to make it bigger. You can also put the magnifying app on it, change the colors, all that stuff. BRIAN NORTON: Put Seeing AI on it as we talked about. BRIAN NORTON: There are so many of these older devices these days. People always line up for the newest and greatest device. Someone needs to grab a hold of those older ones and look for that low vision community is a great opportunity to provide free assistance to them. That would be interesting to do. BELVA SMITH: With the Seeing AI app, in order to get it to do those wonderful things we were talking about like the barcodes, it will have to have a Wi-Fi connection. If you already have Wi-Fi in your home, all you have to do is put it on your Wi-Fi and you are good to go. BRIAN NORTON: If you have any other feedback about the different handheld magnifiers that are out there, don’t forget you can give us a call at 317-721-7124. We would love to hear from you. If you leave us a voicemail, if you’re wanting to, we can plug you in a let you be heard on the show itself. We look forward to hearing from you about that one. Our next question is something I came across on the Internet. There was a question out there that mentioned, I would love to learn more about how users are using their eye gaze devices combined with technologies like the Amazon echo or other technologies which can help save AAC user time and provide greater independence. A link with the question was also a video of a person using an PC-based augmentative communication system. It was textbased in a word document and it was allowing the computer to read out these phrases that would make Alexa respond. It was Alexa, tell me what time it is, and they would have it say that phrase and they were able to have Alexa tell them what time it was. It was a fascinating look at figuring out how folks who use eye gaze devices on the PC or with an augmentative communication device, how they might be able to use those devices to interact with these artificial personal assistant types of technologies in their home like Google Home, Amazon Echo, and those types of devices. The answer to the question if folks are interested in that was what they were doing is have a tech document drawn up and they were able to use their eye gaze system on the computer to be able to activate it and have it speak it. When it would speak, the Amazon echo would then respond with whatever information it might have. I would assume you can do that with the Google home and other devices as well. It was interesting how people were taking that personal assistant technology like Amazon echo and Google home and making it work for folks who have difficulty communicating themselves. JOSH ANDERSON: I’m sure you wouldn’t just use eye gaze. You can use any kind of augmentative communication device as long as you had the right keyword programmed in there. BELVA SMITH: I honestly had never thought about that. As you were sitting there talking about that, Brian — Josh, you and I recently shared a consumer that was using J Say. I remember how excited she was to get her Amazon device. She had a little bit of trouble getting it to understand her at times. We could’ve just typed up a document and had it do it for her. I didn’t even think about that."
},
{
"question": "BRIAN NORTON: For those who are listening, what is J say?",
"answer": "BELVA SMITH: J say is a screen reader while also being a speech recognition. Basically the two programs work together. The speech recognition knows when to listen and when not to basically. The screen reader knows when to read and when not to. It’s a pretty complicated system that’s getting easier and easier. WADE WINGLER: Technically it glues JAWS and Dragon together. It’s not a program on its own. It glues those two together so they work. BELVA SMITH: I call it marries. It marries the two together. BRIAN NORTON: It makes them play nicely in the sandbox together. JOSH ANDERSON: I call it a bridge between the two. We all have our own euphemisms. WADE WINGLER: These are great metaphors. BRIAN NORTON: It was interesting. What an interesting application for someone to take an augmentative communication device or some sort of computer application, whether using eye gaze or other text input option and using your computer to then speak out commands for a device like that. I thought it was an interesting application of that technology so I wanted to share it on the show today. BRIAN NORTON: If you have any feedback regarding that question or maybe you’ve had experience doing that very same thing where you have an interesting application for being able to use one of those personal assistants, whether that’s using the computer some of the way, let us know. You can give us a call on our listener line at 317-721-7124. Or send us an email at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you. Our next question is from David. David was looking for a text-to-speech app that he can use with Google Docs or the chrome web browser."
},
{
"question": "Any suggestions?",
"answer": "JOSH ANDERSON: Read and write is what I use all the time. In fact, want to put it on the computer for about 30 days to get all the features, and if you don’t pay for it, you still get the text to speech features for free. I have started using it sometime for folks with low vision who have ZoomText magnifier but can’t see well enough to get the controls. It does a really good job on the chrome web browser. I haven’t used it as much on Google Docs but I would assume since they go through the same system, it should work about the same. BRIAN NORTON: Text Help Read and Write – Text Help is the company, Read and Write is the software. That’s an extension, I believe. If you go to the Google chrome store, you will be able to find all sorts of things. If you are looking for a variety of different options to be able to look for text-to-speech apps specifically for chrome and within chrome, if you go to the Google Chrome store, type in, “Text to speech,” I think a lot of options will pop up. JOSH ANDERSON: One of the Claro ones, I don’t remember the exact name, works really well. I’ve had good luck with Read and Write, because if you don’t need the highlighters and really cool features, you just need it to read for you, a pretty much does it for free. BELVA SMITH: That’s what I was thinking. BRIAN NORTON: I’m not that experience. I’ve not seen it be used before."
},
{
"question": "Is a pretty good?",
"answer": "BELVA SMITH: Yeah. I have used it. That’s what you use on the Chromebooks."
},
{
"question": "JOSH ANDERSON: Is it only on the Chromebooks or is it an extension?",
"answer": "BELVA SMITH: I’m pretty sure it is an extension. BRIAN NORTON: I have it as an extension in my Chrome but I don’t get into it too often. I’ve also got Read and Write and I like the options for it. I think Chromevox is more of a screen reading where everything gets read to you versus a more learning disability application like Read and Write might be. Snap and Read is another one that is out there made by John Johnston. Snap and Read is a pretty good program. I would encourage folks, if you are interested in text-to-speech for Google docs or chrome web browser, go to the Google Chrome store and check out the different options that are there. Most are free to download and you try them out and if you don’t want them you deactivate the extension itself. I’ve seen a lot of schools start to move to Google Chrome books. When they have Google Chrome books, for a lot of the AT stuff, they are starting to use these free extensions instead of paying for these really expensive programs to be able to put on a traditional PC. We are seeing a lot of development, much like with Seeing AI from Microsoft, these free extensions coming out do a pretty good job. BRIAN NORTON: Don’t forget, if you have any feedback about that, maybe you tried a different extension and have had good luck with that, give us a call. 317-721-7124. Our last question of the day is our wildcard question. That’s where I throw the mic to Wade and he asks us an off-the-wall question. WADE WINGLER: I hope I don’t drop the mic when you throw it. Slow and easy. I was going to ask a question about the eclipse because we are recording – I think most listeners know we record on one Monday and released the show on the next Monday. We interrupted our recording of the show together in the parking lot and look through some special lenses to see the eclipse. That’s not what I’m going to talk about because this will come out after the eclipse and people will have forgotten about it. Here’s what I was thinking. I just came back from a three day retreat where there were no clocks, no watches, no cell phones, no communication with the outside world, which was pretty glorious. From a Thursday night to a Sunday night, we didn’t have any connection with the outside world. For somebody who lives and breathes tech, but they did change for me and it was great. I realized in that process that I experienced technology fatigue. I’m back today and it’s like oh my gosh, all these buzzing, beeping things that are — ironically enough, Brian’s computer just beeped at us."
},
{
"question": "Are there things you have changed or shut off or shut out?",
"answer": "Talk to me about technology fatigue that you’ve experienced. BRIAN NORTON: For me, I don’t know if it’s technology fatigue. It’s just a work fatigue. Looking at the experience you just had, I love when I get away. Every summer we take a week long vacation. We go to a family camp in northern Iowa. There is no possible way to get reception unless you are in the lunch hall. Then you get a wireless connection. I love being away from it; however, I hate coming back to it. I think that’s where I get the fatigue. I make myself so available to folks every day, all day, that they kind of expected me to be back. When I got back, I’ve got so much stuff I have to dig through, voicemail, email, text messages, all these things that come through, website feedback. It takes me a long time. That’s where I get fatigued. I think everybody experiences that. When you go on vacation, the most difficult part of vacation is when you come back through the door at the unification to dig yourself back out. WADE WINGLER: I found my day being interrupted and kind of angry today because I just wanted to go out and look at the eclipse for a few minutes, but all these technology things kept happening. I couldn’t get an email to come up and answer a question, just a buzzing and beeping. JOSH ANDERSON: Along the same lines. It should be noted that Brian does return emails every time he finds that Wi-Fi in the lunchroom when he goes away on vacation. BRIAN NORTON: Only because I don’t want to come back to it when I come back. JOSH ANDERSON: One thing I do, whenever I am on vacation, I turn off all notifications, not just the noise but the number that pops up next to it. I disconnect not everyday but usually on the weekend. We had people over on Saturday. I did not look at my phone once, even though I felt it text a few times. I made sure it wasn’t an emergency, but other than that I didn’t look at it. Didn’t look at emails, anything. When I’m home, I don’t watch TV unless it’s game of thrones on Sunday night. That’s a whole seven hours a year. I rarely turn on the TV. Unless I do have work to get done when I get home, I do not want to look at a screen. That’s one of the reasons I had to get rid of Facebook and stuff like that. Even if people did put stuff on there, I didn’t see it until a week after it happened. It became almost more of a nuisance. As much as I can, I try to disconnect. I’ll answer the most and things like that, but I’ve learned what I ignore and it seems to cut down. WADE WINGLER: Josh, I admire you in a lot of ways because you come to meetings with paper and pen. You may have your laptop with you, but it’s in your backpack. I’m looking across the studio and your watch is made of wood. I think you do a pretty good job with that. BELVA SMITH: If you sent an email to my personal account, I might get back to you in about three or four weeks. I literally do not look at my personal email because I spent so much time every day doing work email that I just don’t have any desire to look at my personal email. Facebook is also something that I don’t bother with. I guess the fatigue for me is I have in my mind that email has to be work related. I don’t like just surfing the web like some people just sit and surf. That is not me. I’m going to Google. If I can’t find it really quickly, I’m giving up. I have to say, when I go on vacation, I don’t really miss the technology. Brian said he doesn’t look forward to coming back to it. I don’t really miss it. I’m not excited to come back to it because I know what it means. To me it means a work. I wish I could turn it off like you were saying, Josh. I wish I could just turn it off on the weekend and not pay any attention to it. Unfortunately because I’m always worried that it’s going to be something really important and I don’t want to let it get by me, I do always glance. I don’t usually respond. If you call me at 10 o’clock at night, I’m not calling you back. JOSH ANDERSON: She is not lying. She doesn’t. BELVA SMITH: But I will get up to see who’s calling me and try to figure out why. For me, I don’t do it personally like most people do. JOSH ANDERSON: Let me follow up on that. Do you ever get the fatigue where you swear you reply to things but you look through so many that you realize you really didn’t. WADE WINGLER: I did that with Brian today."

"question": "HomeSports Management FAQWhat Jobs Are Available in Sports Law?",
"answer": "As aspiring attorneys finish their time in law school, those with a more sports-oriented focus begin to wonder what kind of jobs are available in sports law. The very nature of sports law might make the field sound like a niche with few opportunities, but that’s actually not the case. In fact, the skills required to work in the sports law industry can be translated to jobs with major firms, high schools, colleges, professional teams, or individual athletes. The number of opportunities in this area is surprisingly large, with a few more common options that really stand out. For attorneys considering this line of work, it might be worth looking at some of the most common positions and employers in this industry. The professional sports world has no shortage of pro athletes, which currently play in five major league organizations throughout the United States. Even amateur and semi-professional athletes often require an attorney as they negotiate salaries and other information. In this role, the attorney is charged with acting in the player’s best legal interest over their long course of their professional sports career. They’ll read over team contracts, free agency agreements, salary agreements, and virtually any other binding or legal document that might have far-reaching legal implications at a later time. Player attorneys will also be the go-to resource for any athletes who find themselves in hot water after questionable behavior, an on-the-field fight, or even in divorce proceedings. For this reason, sports attorneys considering this line of work should be familiar with all types of law, particularly contract, criminal, and family law, and estate planning. Just like players, today’s professional and semi-professional teams need someone who can advise them on legal issues and potential legal pitfalls. Sports law often sees each professional team maintain an active legal department within a traditional management structure. Attorneys will be responsible for crafting the team’s player and vendor contracts, as well as any employment contracts if contracted work is the method preferred for the organization. If a fan or player sues the team, the responsibility for defending the team’s actions will fall to the legal department or a single sports lawyer. Sports lawyers will also deal in a great deal of liability issues within the organization. This includes the safety and accessibility of a sports stadium, but also the liability issues that arise from player contact and on-the-field accidents. Their ability to read and understand liability law and precedent will be an asset to their sports employer over time. Many sports lawyers actually work in the public sector, where they draft laws relating to high school sports safety and season lengths, college sports funding, safety and scholarship laws, and many other factors that uniquely affect sports in the academic world. While many attorneys work for state government or local municipalities in this capacity, others pursue work with colleges or high schools where they can advise on how to implement or adhere to laws governing sports seasons, safety regulations, coaching requirements, training, or any other considerations necessary to fall in line with state statutes. Sports law is growing rapidly, driven largely by the ascendance of college sports and major media contracts even from high school teams. According to the American Bar Association, the growing number of jobs available in sports law can see attorneys working for state agencies, professional teams, or even high school athletic departments."

"question": "What are the issues with Faucets in Healthcare Environments?",
"answer": "To produce an aerated stream, a faucet aerator mixes air and water together in the aerators mixing chamber. While drawing air from the room around the faucet isn't a problem in residential and commercial facilities, it can be a concern in hospitals, senior care facilities, and medical labs. Room air can contain harmful bacteria and when mixed with water it could potentially contaminant drinking water. For this reason, laminar devices are recommended for use in healthcare facilities."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between Care+Guard, PCA Care and PCA Perlator?",
"answer": "All three of these devices are laminar solutions and do not mix air into the water. Instead, they produce a splash free crystal clear stream. The Care+Guard Laminar Flow Device provides an extra level of protection by providing built-in agion®, Nature's antimicrobial. Learn more about agion. Both Care+Guard and PCA Care devices don't have a wire mesh screen, but instead have a honeycomb screen-less design which helps to prevent lime build-up. PCA Care and PCA Perlator are pressure compensating and maintain a constant flow regardless of variations in line pressure. It optimizes system performance and comfort of use at all water pressures. The PCA Perlator has a wire mesh screen. CareGuard® laminar solutions are available in 0.35 GPM, 0.5 GPM and 1.5 gpm.

"question": "Where can I turn if I don't have a 3d printer but want to find one locally?",
"answer": "3d printing really is everywhere now days. Schools, libraries, and makerspaces are likely spots if you don't have or know someone who has a 3d printer. Also there are some great sites that allow you to find local printers. The XBR was designed as a true racecraft. This means that right away there are omitted creature comforts. There are no header pins on board. Most everything is soldered connections. There is not much extra space. The weight and size of the body was minimized around only what you need. Along the way innovations in packaging have been achieved through trial and error. The most significant packaging achievement has been affectionately dubbed the sandwich. This is a combination of the popular FRSKY X4R-SB diversity 2.4GHz control receiver with high speed S-Bus communication protocol, and the AFRONAZE flight controller (same as Naze32 but half size). The whole thing packs down as small as possible and weight less than the regular Naze32 at under 6g."

"question": "Is the person intending to seek the assistance of private counsel or represent themselves?",
"answer": "The accused may also seek to apply for Legal Aid to assist them if they cannot afford private counsel. Speak to a lawyer before doing anything. Although unusual, and likely an unwise decision at this early stage, it is possible that a person could have their charges traversed before a judge on the first appearance in Court to plead guilty if they so wished. However, seeking to plead guilty without the assistance of legal counsel to assist would be wildly irresponsible and ill-advised. Experienced criminal counsel will thoroughly review the disclosure, advise the client on the merits and weaknesses of the case, and to negotiate with the Crown to obtain the best possible resolution in the circumstances (often referred to as a “plea bargain”). All of this is essential before making a responsible decision on how to best approach criminal charges. In Ontario, a person is not expected to enter a plea of “not-guilty” on the first appearance and is typically is not asked to do so until that individual is arraigned at the trial date. It is very easy to change a plea of not-guilty to guilty; the converse is very difficult. Retaining counsel for the first appearance in Court. Although having legal counsel retained on the first appearance is not necessary, it is strongly encouraged. The sooner an individual retains counsel to assist them, the easier and less overwhelming the entire process becomes. For those that have counsel, the lawyer will almost always seek to adjourn the matter to complete all these steps diligently and to obtain materials (such as job, reference, or doctors letters) that may assist in mitigating the sentence against the individual who wishes to plead guilty. Any other purpose that the situation may require."

{
"question": "You may have seen British movies where clients refer to their legal representative as a solicitor and wondered, What is a Solicitor?",
"answer": "Some British words like “boot” and “petrol” have direct translations into “Americanese.” A boot is a car trunk and petrol is gasoline. There is no direct translation for the term “solicitor” because England has a two-tiered legal system with solicitors and barristers. In America, although they specialize in different things, a lawyer is a lawyer. In simple terms, a solicitor is the professional you would see for matters that do not require a court appearance. A definition found in an online legal dictionary reads “a type of practicing lawyer in England who handles primarily office work.” These professionals sometimes represent clients in smaller court matters. They often specialize in certain legal areas. Solicitors usually have undergraduate law degrees followed by a year of “Legal Practice Course” and a two-year apprenticeship, according to Diffen.com. Afterward, he or she is admitted to the “Roll” which is the listing of professionals allowed to practice this kind of law. A solicitor meets prospective clients and interviews them to ascertain the nature of their legal problem. He or she may give legal advice to a client as well. Solicitors draft letters and documents like wills and lease agreements. In England, the majority of solicitors are litigators, negotiating for their clients and representing them in civil lawsuits heard in smaller courts. They sometimes appear on behalf of clients in criminal cases but, when the issues are complex, often refer the cases to barristers. The second tier of the British legal system is the barrister. In the old British movies referred to previously, the solicitor in a courtroom would wear a robe; the barrister would wear a robe and a horsehair wig. The wig has largely been abolished but there are significant differences between the two lawyers. While barristers argue cases in the higher court, they do not usually meet the client personally. Generally, they receive client information from a solicitor who has interviewed him. That is another duty of the solicitor. Barristers are not allowed to accept work directly; cases are usually referred to them by solicitors who brief them on the details. The barrister must then research the case and argue it in court. This is changing in many countries that have this two-part legal system to unify the two branches into one, and include a professional called a Solicitor/Advocate who may argue cases in some courts that were previously denied to them. Solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. They pay the Law Society of England for the privilege of practicing and, if they do not pay the fee each year, they are prohibited from offering any legal advice to clients. Barristers belong to the bar council, or Inn at the Court, and solicitors belong to the Law Society. Although in America and in England “lawyer” is a generic term, only in England are the duties of the law professionals separated. American attorneys advertise their specialties, either criminal or civil, prosecuting or defense, inheritance or other area. In England, lawyers are divided into two groups, with education and association determining What is a Barrister and What is a Solicitor."

http://www.ko4bb.com/getsimple/index.php?id=timing-faq-1-measuring-oscillators-stability | [
{
"question": "What is stability for an oscillator?",
"answer": "That sounds like a simple question. After all, an oscillator is a simple circuit, it provides a signal at a single frequency and at a stable level. How stable the frequency and amplitude are what this page is about. Variations in frequency (and in level) can be very short term, long term or both. Depending on what you are interested in, measuring these variations usually requires different methods. The definitions below are not absolute, they are intended as a guideline. Very short term variations occur within a second or less. They usually manifests themselves as frequency (or phase) modulation (or amplitude modulation) as used by broadcast stations to send music and voice programs, and they are usually measured in the frequency domain using spectrum analyzers or phase noise meters. Short term variations occur between one second and several minutes to an hour. Usually we consider short term variations to include the effects of temperature variation, but to exclude the effects of aging for instance. Long term variations go from minutes to hours or days, sometimes months or more. This page focusses on short and long term variations, which are usually measured using a frequency counter or a universal counter, sometimes with other equipment. Please note that the presence of Amplitude Modulation may affect Frequency Modulation or more generally Frequency Stability measurements. Some test methods are more effective than others at eliminating amplitude modulation effects from frequency stability measurements. This applies to all types of variations, short and long term. Frequency Counters, or more generally Universal Counters are instruments designed to measure oscillators, so you will need one of those, with a computer interface port of some sort. In most cases, that will be a GPIB (IEEE-488, or HP-IB) port. I have a page about interfacing GPIB equipment (Ref 2) which I recommend you read if you want to do that. I am familiar with several types of GPIB equipped Universal Counters, the HP 5316A, the HP 5334B and the HP 5370A. The HP 5370A is relatively expensive on eBay compared to the other two, but either will work. The HP 5328A also has the capability to do Time Interval measurements, and some units have the GPIB option, but I have no personal experience with this model. There are lots of other models. Assuming that the problem of getting the data from the instrument to the PC is resolved, there are other issues to address before selecting a suitable test procedure. The test procedure will depend on the stability of the oscillator you are trying to measure. If the oscillator's stability is worse than that of an average crystal oscillator (free running VCO for instance), you can probably simply measure the frequency with the frequency counter and log it to a file. The HP 5328 and HP 5316 have 0.1 Hz resolution (at 10 MHz, with 10 seconds gate time, in overflow mode), and that should be sufficient for a free running VCO. The others have 0.001 Hz (HP 5334) and 0.0001 Hz resolution (HP 5370). Be aware that once the data is in the PC, you can do manipulations that may increase the resolution of the final measurement (by averaging a number of readings). Please note that while all frequency counters use a crystal controlled time base for frequency reference, they are not all created equal and as a minimum should be allowed to warm up and stabilize before making any measurement. Check the specs and if possible have the instrument calibrated before assuming it is \"perfect\". So if you are trying to measure the stability (drift) of a free running oscillator, you can probably stop reading here. In general terms, the only way to know how stable an oscillator is is to compare it to a reference of some sort. Let's put aside the measurement method where the signal is fed through a delay line and mixed with itself. This is used to measure phase noise (which is a type of short term variation), but is not the best method to measure long term drift or uncertainty (because the delay line is temperature sensitive, and it is impractical to make a delay line long enough to measure slow variations such as drift). Since the measurement is a comparison, you will measure the sum of the variations between the two oscillators and you won't be able to discriminate between the two. So you must have a known good, stable frequency reference to check your signal against. In many cases, that will be the reference built into the counter, or it could be an external reference, such as a GPS Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) or a Rubidium (or Cesium if you can afford it) oscillator for instance. If the oscillator you want to check is fairly stable, such as a PLL with a crystal reference, you must make sure your frequency counter has a time base of better stability than the device under test (DUT). All HP counters listed above have a high stability timebase option (either the HP 10544A or the newer HP 10811A, which are both excellent). If you have one of those, you are probably OK. If you have the regular time base, check the specs because if your oscillator under test has stability comparable to the time base in counter, you won't know for sure what you are measuring. Assuming the oscillator under test is a crystal referenced PLL, and assuming your counter has a time base at least 10 times more stable than the oscillator you are trying to measure, there are several things you may want to measure. For the more curious out there, there is a great tutorial on crystal oscillators by John Vig, that used to be available from the IEEE web site (Ref 6) but as of Dec 06, the link appears dead. I had downloaded a copy which is available on this site (Ref 7). The level of noise one can measure is a function of the observation window (the time interval between measurements). The left part is the short term noise, essentially white noise, with a typical 1/f power density drop, then the plateau is due to flicker noise and is essentially constant over a range of frequencies (or time periods), then at the right is the aging and random walk chanracteristic. Increasing the averaging time is equivalent to filtering, and it gets rid of a lot of the shorter term components. Some oscillators have good short term characteristics but show more long term drift and random walk (crystal oscillators, or XOs for instance) and others have more noise in the short term but better long term characteristics (Cesium or GPS for instance). If you are more interested in short term stability (the wander of the oscillator around its frequency over seconds or minutes, or maybe a few hours), you probably will have to use a statistical tool called Allan Deviation. Search Google for \"Allan Deviation\" and you will find lots of links. My FAQ #2 has an interesting exchange with Tom VanBaak explaining Allen Deviation in easily understood terms. Also, Ulrich Bangert has written a nice, free program Plotter (Ref 3) that will plot the data and compute the Allan Deviation from a table of Time Interval measurements. The Allan Deviation (Ref 9) is a statistical tool that calculates how accurately you can predict the occurrence of the next pulse, transition or event, based on measurements made on previous pulses, transitions or events. For instance, you may have an oscillator that drifts in a predictable way, and it's Allan Deviation would be good (low), or you may have an oscillator that has little drift on average, but wanders a lot around its nominal frequency (phase noise), and its Allan Deviation would be bad (high). In either case, the Plotter program will allow you to display the data so that you can easily visualize both types of variations. The Allan Deviation is typically computed from a series of Time Interval (TI) measurements against a reference oscillator. Any one of the counters listed above can do this measurement, which simply is the measure of the delay between a signal on Input A (Start channel) and another signal on Input B (Stop channel). Please note the Plotter program can work with either frequency data or Time Interval data. To use the Time Interval method, the signals (the time base and the signal from the DUT) do not need to be at the same frequency, but they must be harmonically related (for instance, one at 1 kHz and one at 1 Hz, or 1 kHz and 500 Hz). If the signals are not at the same frequency, put the lower frequency signal on the Start channel. If they are not harmonically related, you may have to divide them until you find the greatest common factor between the two (3rd grade math, should not be too hard :-) Building dividers may be more work than you are prepared to do, but the good news is that dividers will not significantly affect the precision of the TI measurement (as long as the dividers work properly). The idea is to get two frequencies that are pretty close to each other so that you can use the TI method. If the oscillators are not phase locked to each other or to a common reference, they will drift relative to one another. So, if you try to do a Time Interval measurement between, for instance, two 10 MHz signals that drift apart, the time interval will increase until it reaches the period of the signal, then recycle to zero and drift again. This is called \"cycle wrapping\" or \"cycle folding\". This will confuse the analysis tool. The more apart the signals are, the more difficult it will be to use the data. So to do TI measurements between drifty oscillators, you are better off dividing down the signals so that it takes longer for the signals to be apart by one full period. How much you need to divide depends on how far apart the frequencies are and for how long you want to collect data. A rough order of magnitude is as follows: assume you compare two 10 MHz signals that are 1 Hz apart, that's 10e-7 difference, so if you divide both signals down to 1 Hz, it will take 10e7 seconds for them to drift apart by one full second, that's 115 days, so in most cases you won't need nearly that much division. I have used an HP 5334B Universal Counter (Ref 4) connected to a computer via the GPIB port to compare the stability of a 10 MHz crystal oscillator to the 1 PPS (Pulse Per Second) output of a GPS Disciplined Oscillator (see FAQ-2.php page). I fed the 1 PPS from the GPS to the Start channel of the counter, and I divided down the 10 MHz from the OCXO by 256 (two 4 bit counters 74F161) and fed that signal (39.0625 kHz) to the Stop channel, so that cycle wrap would not occur too often. Since the 10 MHz crystal oscillator was not phase locked to the GPS (and it was off by about one Hz), the Time Interval did cycle wrap every few hours. That was not excessive for the Plotter program, which has capability to clean up such artifacts. Typically, you connect the slower oscillator (which preferably should be the reference, but it will work even if it's the DUT) to the Start Channel, and the faster oscillator to the Stop Channel of the counter. These plots are intended to show the features of the Plotter program. This plot is the raw data from the HP 5334B, as captured by my GPIB Control program. It shows the HP 10811 having quite a bit of drift (it had only been turned on for about 30 minutes when I started data collection, which ran for about 8 hours). The sample rate was once every 2 seconds in that run. and there are 14075 data points. Since the OCXO was not fully warmed up, and the 10 MHz was only divided by 256 before being fed to the Stop channel, there was significant drift and there were several occurences of cycle wrapping. Using Plotter's Drift Removal tool, it was easy to remove most of the thermal drift due to the fact that the OCXO had only been on for a short time. Plotter lets you try different types of curve fittings, but does not automatically pick the best match. It does compute the parameters for the curve fitting model you chose though. In most cases, it's easy to select the best fit visually. Here is the final plot with most of the drift removed and the result of the Allan Deviation calculation. Please note these plots were made in far less than ideal conditions. They are only here for illustration. The Trimble Thunderbolt GPSDO had been on for a couple of hours only (it had completed self survey) and the HP 10811 was barely warmed up. HP recommends at least 24 hours of warm-up before measuring stability. Here is another plot taken later, with the HP 10811 fully warmed-up. This plot spans about 4.7 hours (8517 data points taken at 2 seconds spacing). To see what HP 10811's can do under optimum conditions (and when compared to state of the art frequency standards), check Tom Van Baak's HP 10811 Stability Comparison page (Ref 5). In practical terms, the best way to compare an unknown oscillator to a reference oscillator will be to divide down your reference signal and your test signal sufficiently so that cycle wrap does not occur too often. How much division will depend on how stable the DUT is. Use the guidelines above to figure this out. If the oscillator you are testing is very clean, the clock shaper and dividers must be designed accordingly so that they do not contribute appreciably to the noise of the oscillator under test. The clock shaper is the circuit that converts the sinewave from the oscillator to a digital signal suitable to drive the dividers. There was a very interesting thread about this on the time-nuts mailing list recently, and I have planned to make a web page out of the best parts of that thread, come back on occasion to see if it's up. For examples of clock shaper circuits, see Bruce's related pages (Ref 8). So, there you have it. The HP Universal counters have very interesting capabilities to check the stability of oscillators, but depending on how stable the oscillator under test is, you may have to build some dividers to be able to quantify its stability using the Allan Deviation."

"answer": "I reeally love those earrings! Your daughter has great taste! <br />Thanks for the link to the etsy shop, I'm going to have to go take a look around when I have a bit more time. Next year I am going to have to make it a point to go to the Beehive Bazaar. You always find the best stuff.<br />Great job on your flower corsage. It goes perfect with your outfit. Nice art on the bed sheet!<br /><br />I saw those earrings at the Beehive Bazaar. I bought two cute vinyl headbands for my nieces there. fun stuff. and cute corsage. I am going to venture out of Idaho one of these days and make it to the BB. Sounds wonderful. <br /><br />I would totally use that elastic on the 20 minute skirt!! http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/2010/04/20-minute-skirt.html <br /><br />Cute! One of my children used to be a "resident artist"–permanent marker on her closet door, bedroom walls, and kitchen wall…guess that's how I got so good at painting…and she did finally grow out of it! Awesome stuff!!! <br /><br />My resident artist (2) likes walls, every time I clean it up he colors more, so I just leave it now, I'll clean it up when he's 5 LOL! Your corsage is very pretty!<br /><br />I have a resident hairdresser/makeup artist. What fun finds! I need my box to arrive and then I can do my post from both Oh Sweet Sadie and Beehive Bazar! You can have him bring his crayons to our house anytime! Having you store ours really cured her of drawing on things she should not.<br /><br />Mark told me to come out to the Bazaar, but unfortunately I never had time. Looks like I missed out. I hope the drawings permanent. It's so cute. Maybe he should go into designing children's sheets. It could be really fun for him.<br /><br />I love the schnibble quilt. I recently bought the book so I'm excited to make one this summer. Maybe two or three. We will see."

"question": "What do you mean by unable to setup everything?",
"answer": "You can't create a new web project, please be more precise. I have created a web project / Department. For a new ticket i would like to assign a team. But i am unable to. You cannot create teams, you can create operators and assign them to web projects. So for a single Ticket I cant assign multiple operators. The operators that have access to the same web projects and departments can manage the tickets, so it is sort of a team."

"question": "Are e-books from CSU Stanislaus availble to MJC Students?",
"answer": "That's a very good question. I would think the answer is no unless they have some links to books that are freely available on the Web. For example, MJC students can't even read Columbia College eBooks and we're sister schools! The reason has to do with the way we pay for our eBooks and the contracts we enter into with the databases from which we purchase the eBooks. I suspect if the student (or anyone) went to Stan State and accessed their ebook via one of their computers it would work, much like a Columbia student could come to MJC and access our ebooks from on campus. Probably wise to call CSUS first to confirm, though. by Brian Greene on Mar 26, 2014. You are correct, Brian. I just called CSU Stanislaus to confirm it. by Iris Carroll on Mar 26, 2014."

https://laser-eye.gr/faq/faq-about-lasik/ | [
{
"question": "What is involved?",
"answer": "LASIK stands for Laser In Situ Keratomileusis. Kerato means the cornea, and smileusis is Greek for carving or sculpting. It is called in situ because surgeons work with the cornea while it is in the eye. This is a procedure designed to correct the refractive error of patients who are short sighted, long sighted or astigmatic. It involves the creation of a very thin layer (or flap) of the cornea, which is lifted under local anaesthetic. The laser is then applied, re-shaping the underlying surface for the correction of the refractive error. The flap is then replaced like a natural band-aid and bonds rapidly with the cornea without requiring any stitches."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if I am a good candidate for LASIK Eye Surgery?",
"answer": "A large percentage of nearsighted, farsighted, and astigmatic patients are potential candidates for LASIK. Patients who are 18 years of age or older, have healthy eyes that are free from retinal problems, corneal scars, and any eye disease are suitable. Along with being medically suitable, the best candidates are people with a lifestyle or occupation in which they are dissatisfied with their contact lenses or glasses. By having an evaluation, examination, and consultation with you, the doctor will be able to determine if you are a good lasik candidate. In our practices, LASIK is performed as an office procedure in the comfort and convenience of an excimer laser eye surgery suite. The entire treatment takes about 5 to 7 minutes per eye or approximately 15 minutes for both eyes. You could expect to be at the clinic for about 1-1,5 hours on the day. We ask that you have a restful day after your procedure, and recommend that you sleep or rest with the eyes closed to assist the healing process."
},
{
"question": "What happens if my eye moves during surgery?",
"answer": "The Excimer laser is fitted with an infrared eye-tracker which is locked on in position prior to the commencement of laser application. This eye-tracker measures eye movements during surgery and is capable of following and adjusting the laser application as small movements are detected. If the eye moves outside of the eye-trackers range it will halt the process automatically. This provides excellent safety and surgeon control."
},
{
"question": "What Kind of Anesthesia is Used During the Treatment?",
"answer": "Numbing eye drops are used. Sometimes an oral medication is used to help with relaxation. Don’t worry -no needles or intravenous drugs are used."
},
{
"question": "Can I See the LASIK Treatment as it is Being Performed?",
"answer": "You will be “awake” but very relaxed. You will not be able to see any of the details of the LASIK treatment. You will see a number of lights, but the images will be blurred."
},
{
"question": "Will I Experience Pain after The LASIK Treatment?",
"answer": "Some patients experience a feeling of burning or scratchiness. This feeling generally lasts from one to three hours following the treatment. Most people feel fine if they can take a nap soon after the treatment."
},
{
"question": "Should I have a Custom LASIK Eye Surgery Treatment or a Conventional Treatment?",
"answer": "The best treatment for you depends on the measurements we take from the Aberrometer and your other clinical measurements and vision complaints. This will indicate the presence and severity of aberrations, or distortions, which will necessitate a Custom Laser Eye Surgery treatment. You may have specific complaints that are related to the optical aberrations that are not corrected by your current glasses or contact lenses. Finally, Custom Laser Eye Surgery is usually indicated for anyone who has had previous corneal surgery."
},
{
"question": "Why should I have Custom LASIK Eye Surgery when conventional Lasik Eye Surgery worked fine for most of the people?",
"answer": "Conventional Lasik Eye Surgery has provided excellent results for literally millions of people. However, if you are a patient who has unusual aberrations not readily corrected by conventional Lasik Eye Surgery, customized laser eye surgery is the best choice for you. The best thing to do is to come in for a Complimentary Consultation and together, the LASIK surgeon and you, can determine which treatment option is necessary and best suited for your individual needs."
},
{
"question": "Can family and friends accompany me on the day?",
"answer": "Yes, they are more than welcome. You will need a driver for the day of your surgery."
},
{
"question": "When Can I Go Back To Work?",
"answer": "You can not drive until you have been seen by the surgeon the day after your procedure. After that, you may drive when you feel confident that your visual acuity and eye comfort allow you to drive safely .Returning to work depends on the type of work that you do. Most patients are back to work full-time the day after treatment. The recovery time is rapid, but reading the computer screen (or reading in general) may be difficult for the first week while the tissue is healing."
},
{
"question": "How Soon After The Treatment Can I Bathe or Take a Shower?",
"answer": "Your LASIK Surgeon will advise you as to the specific, however typically you can bathe the same day as the treatment but you should not shower for 2 days after the treatment. As always, avoid getting soap or water directly into your eyes. Avoid rubbing your eyes during the first month after surgery."
},
{
"question": "How Soon Can I Use Eye Makeup?",
"answer": "You may resume wearing eye makeup starting 1-2 weeks after your treatment. We strongly recommend that you purchase new eye makeup, specifically mascara, to avoid potential infection following your treatment."
},
{
"question": "How Soon After The Treatment Can I Exercise?",
"answer": "Non-contact sports can be resumed as soon as you feel capable. Eye protection is always recommended for racquet sports or rough sports where there is a risk of being hit in the eye. You should stay out of swimming pools for one week after your treatment, and rivers, lakes and oceans for two weeks following your treatment."
},
{
"question": "What is Intralase™ laser eye surgery?",
"answer": "Intralase™ is a procedure that involves 2 lasers to perform a LASIK treatment. A Femtosecond laser is used to ‘cut’ the flap which can take up to 2 minutes to complete. The patient is then moved to a second laser where the corrective treatment is undertaken in the normal way."
},
{
"question": "What is the real difference between conventional Laser Eye Surgery and Custom LASIK Eye Surgery?",
"answer": "Conventional Laser Eye Surgery treats the vast majority of common optical aberrations called “lower order” aberrations. These are responsible for causing nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Custom LASIK Eye Surgery provides a more precise treatment for patients who have “higher order” aberrations, which we can now measure with the Aberrometer. For these patients, customized laser eye surgery may provide a better quality of vision by measuring and addressing all of these aberrations as part of the treatment plan."
},
{
"question": "How Soon After Surgery Will I See Well?",
"answer": "Each patient is different. Visual rehabilitation after treatment is rapid. You will be able to see your surroundings immediately following surgery The eye drop medications cause some blurring, but most patients notice a dramatic improvement even as they leave the office. More than 4 out of 5 patients can pass a driving test without glasses or contact lenses after the treatment. Within 4-6 hours after surgery your vision becomes quite clear. Most people achieve good vision the day after surgery and find that their eyes feel fairly normal 24 hours later. However, your sight will improve even further, and the very best vision could take two to three weeks."
},
{
"question": "What is the percentage of patients receiving Uncorrected Visual Acuity of 20/20 or better?",
"answer": "This depends on the refractive error to be treated. 96% of individuals with Myopia or shortsightedness less than -10D, can achieve 10/10 vision following LASIK. Nine out of ten of those with high levels of astigmatism (up to 6D) and myopia can also expect to achieve 20/20 vision. For those individuals with hyperopia or long-sightedness the results are similar, those with low to moderate levels of hyperopia up to 94% achieving 20/20 or better. The effects of laser treatment are permanent, but your eyes may change over time. That’s why we recommend having the procedure after major eye changes have occurred in your life."
},
{
"question": "Will I Need Reading Glasses After the Treatment?",
"answer": "Generally, patients under 40 years of age read well without glasses following the treatment. Patients over 40 may need magnification for reading fine print. Presbyopia is the term that refers to the natural weakening of the focusing muscles that occurs in our early to mid 40s, causing us to need the magnification that reading glasses provide. The LASIK treatment does not correct or prevent presbyopia. We also will be glad to discuss another option called monovision."
},
{
"question": "Can LASIK work for all types of eye disorders?",
"answer": "LASIK is the most common type of refractive laser surgery today and is used to correct only long-sightedness, short-sightedness or astigmatism. There are a number of advantages to using a mechanical microkeratomes over a laser created flap. With a mechanical microkeratome the LASIK treatment is one continuous process; there is no need to move the patient or the equipment to move from one laser machine to the next. The mechanical microkeratome is also faster at producing the flap, so there is less drying of the eye, which can affect the accuracy of the laser procedure. When using a mechanical microkeratome suction is engaged for only 5-10 seconds rather than the longer periods of up to 100 seconds or more required for laser treatment; less time under this suction further reduces the very small risk of a severe vascular event of the retina or optic nerve. When using a specialised mechanical microkeratome, there is no need to perform a manual dissection of the flap, which carries a risk of flap tears."

{
"question": "What does a DAC do logically?",
"answer": "A Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is a device that converts digital data to an analog signal. It takes the binary input bits, weights and adds these together. Electrically SHF DACs do much more because of the on-chip 3R regeneration (re-timing, re-shaping & re-amplification) but logically this is the only operation a DAC does. This scheme holds true for the 3-Bit DAC as above as well as for the 6-Bit DAC. However, for a 6-Bit DAC one has 26=64 instead of the 23=8 output levels shown above. There is no other difference between a 6 and a 3-Bit DAC. The more bits are used, the more levels the output has (with means greater resolution)."
},
{
"question": "Can I use the SHF DAC with less input bits?",
"answer": "Yes, not all data inputs of the SHF DAC must be used. For example, in case a PAM-4 signal shall be generated only two data input signals must be applied to the DAC. All other inputs can be left floating. Even operating the DAC as a binary D-type Flip Flop by using one input bit only is possible. For such cases it is recommended to use the most significant bits of the DAC as these provide the biggest contribution to the output signal amplitude. In other words, the output amplitude is higher if the more significant bits are used and therefore the signal-to-noise ratio will be improved."
},
{
"question": "Can I adjust the individual eye openings?",
"answer": "Uout=D0 · a0 + D1 · a1 + D2 · a2 . The amplitude contribution of each individual input Bit is adjustable by the appropriate slider in the GUI. The minimum voltage contribution anmin is half of the maximum anmax. As the DACs are calibrated, the voltage contribution in Volts is shown in the GUI. Uout=D1 · a1 + D2 · a2 . The output amplitude of a 3-Bit DAC in 2-Bit mode (one bit unused) is not as high as with all three bits used. If a1 & a2 are reduced by the same factor the overall amplitude gets reduced. By setting all contributions to the minimum the output power is reduced by 6 dB. If a1 is reduced (and/or a2 is raised) the inner of the three individual eyes gets bigger. In other words, the symmetry is changed. Please note, the symmetry cannot be changed in case all input bits are used. Adjusting all eyes individually (e.g. making the lower eye smaller, while enlarging the upper eyes) is not possible. Such unequal PAM signals can only be realized by programming the input bits accordingly. This would be a feature of a SHF BPG not the DAC itself (please see FAQ below). The user does not have to worry about setting the individual voltage contributions. The symmetry and the amplitude for PAM-4 can be set in the GUI right away."
},
{
"question": "What are the requirements for the input signals into the DAC?",
"answer": "SHF DACs require binary data inputs and a full clock signal. The term ‘full’ clock means, that the speed of the clock (in Hz) must be the same as the speed of the input data (in bps). For example, to generate a 60 GBaud 8-level signal, one must apply a 60 GHz clock plus three 60 Gbps binary data signals to the DAC inputs. For proper operation all inputs must be (a) phase aligned and for some applications even (b) bit aligned. A perfect alignment is shown in the graphic below. All SHF DACs are active devices which re-time and re-shape the input signal. This makes the DACs very robust regarding signal impairments and skew at its inputs. Independent from the binary input signal quality one will always receive a perfect PAM signal even if the phase alignment is not as perfect as in the picture above. Nevertheless, the DAC needs to find a valid sampling point and therefore the clock & data input signals must be reasonably good aligned in order to meet the phase margin (hold time) requirements of the device. For example, if an input signal is sampled in its crossing the DAC will produce errors at its outputs. Proper phase alignment for each single input can be easily verified by operating the DAC in one bit (binary) mode. In case the user has full control of the phase into the DAC (like with a SHF BPG) a perfectly aligned setup can be achieved easily. If above phase alignment requirement is fulfilled the DAC will always produce perfectly shaped PAM signals. For some applications, this is the only requirement one would need to consider. In case of programming the DAC inputs in order to use it e.g. as an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) not only the phase alignment has to be considered but also the logical bit alignment. The graphic below shows input D2 is not properly bit aligned and should be shifted by -1 bit. In case an error analyzer or a scope is used, there are straight forward possibilities to find out whether the bit streams are bit aligned (please be referred to the SHF literature). In addition, with a SHF 12104 A BPG one has full control of the bit alignment. Shifting D2 by -1 bit would be one click in the software and the DAC would have a perfect bit alignment."
},
{
"question": "Can a DAC be used to generate PAM-4 with Pre-Emphasis?",
"answer": "Yes, below you will find a simple schematic how this can be done e.g. by utilizing a 4-Bit DAC. In case a SHF BPG with four outputs is available one can set the bit delay and invert the channel just by a few clicks in the software. No additional hardware is required. In case an SHF BPG with ‘only’ two channels is available the data bar outputs can be used for D0 and D1. Here, external components have to be used for the one bit delay. Pre-emphases can be a very powerful tool. In the example below a 30 GBaud PAM-4 signal is transmitted through a 2.5 meter SMA cable."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between passive combining and an active DAC?",
"answer": "A DAC usually provides more output signal swing than a passive combiner since the least significant bit into the passive combiner must be attenuated accordingly (usually 6 dB). A passive combiner is transparent in all directions. This means, the signal applied to one input will be present not only at the output but also at the other input. This always has an influence on the output signal quality because multiple reflections impact the overall output signal quality accordingly (due to the imperfect output reflection coefficient (s22) of the driving source). Usually this influence is minimized by inserting attenuators at both pattern generator outputs. This however, further reduces the output voltage. The two signals into the passive combiner must be extremely well aligned as even a small skew between the input signals will distort the output signal. In case the used pattern generator does not have an internal fine skew control, an additional external delay line has to be added. This makes the passive combiner approach rather inconvenient. Compared to the passive combining the DAC is extremely robust against skew between the driving signals. A passive combiner must be placed very close to the pattern generator outputs. This means, even if the combiner provides a reasonable good PAM-4 signal it must probably be transmitted through a long cable to the DUT. This will distort the high speed multi-level signal. The DAC can be placed very close to the DUT. The extension cables can be inserted between the pattern generator’s outputs and DAC. The signal impairments introduced by these cables will not influence the DAC’s outputs as the input DFFs retime and reshape the signal on-chip before the voltage contributions are combined. After all, the DAC is much more robust and can be physically moved on the laboratory bench without any influence on the signal quality. SHF DACs have at least three input bits. The SHF 614 A even has six. With this additional bits one can do much more than just ordinary PAM-4. Examples are unequal amplitude PAM, PAM-5/8/16/../64, PAM with pre-emphasis. With a passive combiner all this is impossible."

"question": "What type of gas does ARTICUBE use?",
"answer": "The gas used in our ARTICUBE machines is food grade liquid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide, also known as carbon (IV) oxide, carbonic dioxide and carbonic anhydride, CO2, is tasteless, colourless, odourless, and non-flammable..\nCO2 is most commonly found in a gaseous state, however, under certain conditions it can also be found in liquid or solid form. These bottles are designed for medical and food industry use and what makes them different from the rest (such as the CO2 bottle for a beer tap, for example) is that there is a probe fitted inside that extracts the cryogenic liquid which, when released, reaches a temperature of -79.8°C."

{
"question": "You hope to catch a fish along the way?",
"answer": "No, food planning is an important stage in your backpacking trip planning. Planning your meals sounds easy, until you get into detail and notice you want a little more than just a loaf of bread and a slice of cheese."
},
{
"question": "How will you keep your taste buds excited after weeks on the trail?",
"answer": "So many questions. Fortunately, we’ve got answers for them all in this backpacking food planning FAQ."
},
{
"question": "What is backpacking food planning and is it important?",
"answer": "During your backpacking adventure you will burn lots of calories. Calories that will need to be replaced to have enough fuel to continue the next day. Whether it’s a day hike or a multi-day trek, keeping your energy levels up is vitally important. Day hikes may require no more than a few energy bars and a few liters of water, but as the length of the trail increases, planning your meals becomes more important to ensure you stay in peak physical and mental condition."
},
{
"question": "What type of meals are good for backpacking?",
"answer": "It is important to remember that you will have to carry every gram of food in your backpack before consuming it. Canned food or jars are not worth the effort, so it’s recommended to look for lightweight food. At the same time try to ensure they are as full of energy as well. Another factor well worth considering is the preparation time. Don’t forget that you will be preparing it with limited equipment and maybe even in poor weather conditions. At the end of a long you will be happy that you brought quick to prepare meals (< 10 minutes). Anything that lasts longer will take too much fuel as well. Lastly, don’t bring food you don’t like. If you don’t like it on day 1, just imagine how it’s going to look on day 14! Sure. Fresh foods is only acceptable on very short hikes, since it will start to spoil after two days. For this reason freeze-dried foods are highly popular amongst hikers. Pasta, noodles, soups and instant rice are perfect, as they pack down small and only need hot water to be brought back to life and flavor. Spices are a great extra as they weigh close to nothing and will improve the taste greatly! Pack all your meals in zip-lock bags to decrease the total weight. An outdoor adventure is an opportunity to enjoy the serenity of nature and connect deeply with creations. It can be beneficial to everyone, especially people withdrawing from alcohol, or ex-convicts who have been confined to a place. Get outdoor, get more of life!"
},
{
"question": "I would love chocolate or candy while hiking but is it practical?",
"answer": "Yes! Chocolate, nuts and other snacks are ideal to eat while hiking. They have lots of energy and often replace lunch on long stages. Soda and alcohol are considered luxury, so only bring them if you can handle the extra weight."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to consider the seasons when meal planning?",
"answer": "Yes, temperatures make a huge difference on morale! Multi-day hikes in very cold weather will require more (hot) food for extra energy requirements. In subzero conditions, consider keeping essential food in your pockets to ensure it doesn’t freeze. High temperatures means more hydration so you will need to carry more water. Risk of fire may prohibit you from making campfire."
},
{
"question": "Can I make my own meals?",
"answer": "Offcourse, be creative and buy ingredients in bulk. It is not only the cheapest option, but you will have a lot more options as well. Prepare your meals in advance by packing all dried ingredients in zip-lock bags. Some hikers even freeze-dry there own food. This requires special techniques and equipment though. I don’t like to cook."
},
{
"question": "Can I buy prepared meals?",
"answer": "Definitely! While most people enjoy cooking their own meals during their outdoor trip, it is perfectly acceptable to buy freeze-dried meals in advance. These type of Adventure Food require no more than adding hot water. When hiking in the mountains, mountain refuges often offer dinners and lunch packages on the go. Researching your trail for water sources beforehand is essential for a successful backpacking trip. Keep in mind that that in addition to drinking water, you will also need water for cooking and cleaning."
},
{
"question": "I love hot meals, but is this possible in the outdoors?",
"answer": "Not only possible, but essential as well! A cooking stove and gas canister is an essential piece of gear for preparing meals. The MSR Superfly Stove is a lightweight option."
},
{
"question": "Is foraging for food a good idea?",
"answer": "While catching your own fish for dinner is great experience, it is not recommended to count on it. Looking for wild berries, fruits and mushrooms is a great way of keeping the day interesting but making a meal of it should be viewed as a nice supplement. Make sure to know which mushrooms and berries to pick though!"
},
{
"question": "You have seen ‘Into the Wild’ did you?",
"answer": "The best option is to pack your meals in zip-lock bags. This is not only a good way of keeping it dry, but it will keep you organized as well. This way you can leave excrescent packages at home as well."
},
{
"question": "Will wild animals be attracted to my food?",
"answer": "Yes. During our trip in the Alps, we had our cheese and saucages stolen by a fox who entered our front tent. Think about what could happen if you were in bear territory. When hiking in bear territory it is best to keep your food stored in bear canisters, and hang them in a tree, at least 50m away from your camp. Read about how the lack of trees ended up on encountering polar bears in Spitsbergen."

},
{
"question": "QUESTION: CALCULATOR POLICY - IS IT FOR EXAMS ONLY OR THROUGHOUT THE COURSE?",
"answer": "ANSWER: For most courses, individual instructors can set the policy. Some allow it on everything from the very beginning and others only allow it on certain tests. It is the instructor's call. See your syllabus for more information."
},
{
"question": "QUESTION: MAY I REMOVE THE ATTENDANCE POLICY?",
"answer": "ANSWER: Instructors should keep the attendance policy in place to encourage the students to come to class."
},
{
"question": "QUESTION: IS THE \"NO MAKE-UP EXAMS\" POLICY A DEPARTMENTAL OR INDIVIDUAL POLICY?",
"answer": "ANSWER: It is the instructor's call, but it is recommended that the instructor keep the policy intact to encourage students to attend exams regularly or the instructor may find themselves doing 3-4 make-ups per exam given. The department chair generally follows the policy of no make-ups and then replaces any missed tests with the percentage earned on the final exam."
},
{
"question": "QUESTION: WHO ARE THE COURSE COORDINATORS?",
"answer": "ANSWER: They are faculty mentors and they also write the syllabi and final exams for MAT 0018, MAT 0028, MAT 1033 and MAC 1105. See list."

{
"question": "QUESTION: IF A STUDENT REQUIRES CONSULTATION WITH FACULTY AND THE INSTRUCTOR IS NOT AVAILABLE, WHOM SHOULD THEY SEE?",
"answer": "ANSWER: The Math Lab/Academic Resource Center is the best place to send them. They can always get tutoring and extra help there. They have many, many resources in addition to tutoring. It is recommended that new adjuncts make it a point to stop by the lab and introduce themselves to the staff there."
},
{
"question": "QUESTION: CAN STUDENTS RETAKE THE ENTRY EXAM; I.E., NEXT SEMESTER?",
"answer": "ANSWER: It is possible, under extreme circumstances, but they generally do much better if they take the course as they develop study habits and get back into the process of learning math in a structured setting."
},
{
"question": "QUESTION: DO I DEVELOP MY OWN TESTS AND FINALS?",
"answer": "ANSWER: The instructor writes all tests except for the final exam in MAT 0018, 0028, 1033 and MAC 1105. In other courses, the instructor writes the final exam as well."
},
{
"question": "QUESTION: WHAT FORMS WILL I USE MOST OFTEN?",
"answer": "ANSWER: Primarily there are two (2): 1) Request for Test at DRC (Disability Resource Center); 2) Duplicating Service Requisition (for copies sent to Processing) (see below)."
},
{
"question": "QUESTION: WHAT IS THE MOST COST EFFICIENT WAY OF DUPLICATING MY EXAMS/HANDOUTS?",
"answer": "ANSWER: Very small copying jobs (fewer than 10 copies) can be done on local copy machines. On the Bradenton campus, the mathematics department copier is located in the department suite. Please see the office staff for the code. On the Venice campus, the copier is located in room 622. Please see Lynette O'Neill for the copy key. Larger printing jobs (such as exams & large sets of handouts) must be sent to Central Services (aka \"Processing\") several days in advance along with a 3-part form indicating the appropriate department account numbers, number of copies, copying instructions, etc. Central Services will pick up your request and return the items to the department so please provide as much lead time as possible. Please see the office staff for additional information. In courses using a departmental final exam, the course coordinator makes all copies of the final exam for you. You should sign up in the math office for the number of copies you need. An e-mail is sent out approximately 5-6 weeks before the end of the semester letting you know when you can begin signing up for your copies. Instructions to send a copy request electronically. Complete all fields in the electronic copy request ticket. Send the file that you want copied/printed via SCF email to Copyshop. Each file which is sent to Copyshopat [email protected] for copies must have a completed Electronic Copy Request Form [see below] sent with the file as an Attachment. Network connectivity issues may slow your electronic copy request. Your electronic copy request will be copied/printed in the exact format for which it was received. Central Services will not edit your document. The best practice is to send a PDF file. There may be incompatibility issues with certain software packages in which case a hard copy of the original may be required to complete your copy request. The standard one day turn around should still apply in most cases. The copy request will not be completed without an Electronic Copy Request Form [see above] attached to each file requested to be copied/printed."

{
"question": "What if my child is already taking courses at FLVS Flex or FLVS Flex Elementary?",
"answer": "If your child already has courses in progress, you or your child will only need to change the physical school under his or her Academic Profile. Simply log in, go to Student Records > Academic Profile and change the District to Sarasota and the Physical School to Aspiring Heights Academy. Courses in progress will continue as usual. When changing physical schools, you may receive an email from FLVS stating that you need to review your current enrollments with the new Physical School Guidance counselor. This is because students in a Traditional School can only have a maximum of three (3) enrollments at a time. Our students may have up to six (6) enrollments at a time. Based on FLVS course registration guidelines for private school students, FLVS Flex students may to take up to six (6) courses at one time. Students may request an additional course when at least 50% of an active course has been completed."
},
{
"question": "When will my children be able to start their courses?",
"answer": "Whenever students request new courses, we have to approve them. Courses are approved Monday through Friday. Once they are approved, classrooms are assigned. It can sometimes take a week or so for classrooms to become available. Once classrooms are assigned, students can begin their courses. Students may request a future start date. FLVS Flex students work independently. Sometimes students are required to download specific software and/or visit external websites to complete assignments. Assignments are submitted online, including assessments, so students are on the computer a lot. Periodically, students connect with their teachers on the phone for discussion-based assessments. Many courses also require students to attend live lessons. Teachers are (ideally) available from 8AM to 8PM, seven days a week, via phone, text, email and instant messaging, but sometimes they can be hard to reach. Substitute teachers are assigned periodically and during the holidays. FLVS Flex Elementary students work with their teachers and with the guidance of their parents. Depending on the program chosen, students will either meet with their classmates and teachers online two days a week and work independently with parental support three days a week or work independently at their own pace."
},
{
"question": "Are students expected to sign into class everyday?",
"answer": "FLVS Flex students are allowed to work at their own pace and on days and at times that work for them, but they are expected to submit work regularly (usually 3-5 assignments a week). Additionally, parents are required to connect with their children's teachers (via phone or email) at least once per month. FLVS Flex Elementary students enrolled in their traditional program are required to attend online class on Tuesdays and Thursdays at a designated time. (Your child can make up a class by viewing the recorded session, but you must notify the teacher if your child is going to be absent from class time.) FLVS Flex Elementary students enrolled in their new program may attend optional class times and may work at their own pace. Depending on the course, courses can take between 16 and 36 weeks to complete. Courses are broken down into segments (semesters), and each segment takes between 16-18 weeks to complete. Some courses have two segments (such as math and science); some have only one segment (such as U.S. Government and certain electives). Students are not required to take both segments of a two segment course. Each segment is worth 1/2 credit. Students may work ahead of pace and finish the course in less time. Also, students may work at a slower pace and finish the course in more time. In either case, it's important that students submit work regularly. FLVS gives students a 14 day grace period to try out a course. If a course is too easy, too difficult, or doesn't meet a student's expectations, a student may drop the course without penalty during the first 14 days of being activated in the course. A student may also be withdrawn from the course if the student fails to meet the initial submission requirements during the 14 day grace period. I noticed my child's grade level was changed by FLVS."
},
{
"question": "Can I revert this?",
"answer": "Yes. You only need to go into your child's Student Profile and select the correct grade level. Note that FLVS automatically calculates a student's projected graduation date based on his or her grade level."

https://copyrightalliance.org/ca_faq_post/why-does-it-matter-if-a-work-is-made-for-hire/ | [
{
"question": "The “work made for hire” doctrine addresses the question: Who owns copyright when a person is hired to create certain types of works?",
"answer": "The doctrine deems certain entities or individuals the owners of works prepared by their employees. The owner of the copyright is vested with automatic rights – such as the right to copy the work, make derivative works or adaptions of the work, to distribute the work and/or make money from the work. Thus, if you as an individual creator create a work “made for hire,” you are not the copyright owner; the entity commissioning the work is. As an individual creator, you may enter into a work “made for hire” arrangement because your daily work duties at a place of employment require it, because you seek stable compensation, and/or because you wish to focus on creating, not exploiting your work. There are also instances when you may wish to commission a work made for hire. For example, as an independent filmmaker, you may wish to commission a composer to create a theme song for your film as a work made for hire. You may wish a title company to create artwork for the opening of your film as a work made for hire. There are many instances as an individual creator or small business that you may want work created for you in a manner that ensures you will be able to use the work and license it as you see fit. Significantly, it is worth noting that there is a difference between assigning all rights to a work and entering into a for hire relationship. In the former, there is an opportunity to terminate that rights grant between the 35th and 40th year after it is made. But if the creation is a work made for hire, since the entity or person commissioning the work is actually deemed the owner of the work, such termination rights would not exist for you or your heirs. For more information, see Works Made for Hire."

},
{
"question": "Q: Why should I pay you for an budget break-down?",
"answer": "A: For no charge, I will give you a rough estimate on cost. This free estimate is not a binding agreement to work for the estimated price, just a \"ball-park\" figure of what I expect the costs to be. I receive many requests for estimates. In order for me to give an accurate estimate, I must break down the script, which takes approximately 4+ hours per 100 page script consultation for an action film. This may include historical research, which is time consuming, to ensure that the right firearms are chosen according to past events. Also, when my break-down is done, the weapons scripting is done for every scene, along with a special effects break-down and blank count. If you do not hire us, you can give our break-down to another prop house, SFX coordinator or other armorer. The break-down fee is deducted from your final bill if we get the project. The other reason is that if I spend 4+ hours detailing which firearms to use in the movie, some producers will use all of my information in my breakdown and buy fake soft air guns with the intention of adding digital muzzle flash (getting the information from me for free). This is fine, as long as I am paid for my time. We will not do pre-production work without getting reimbursed. Q: I produce mostly Science Fiction & Horror movies."

"answer": "A: Fist, let me say that I am a huge Sci-Fi and Horror Fan (I also write for Creature Corner). In the early to late 1970s, I collected Famous Monster, Fangoria and Starlog magazines. I used to make my own Sci-Fi films using the stop-action/claymation process with a Kodak silent Super 8 movie camera. I still have my Kodak 8mm/Super 8 film projector and my Bell & Howell Super 8 sound projector which I used to show all the neighborhood kids great films like; The Mummy, The Creature From the Black Lagoon (my favorite), Man Made Monster, Frankenstien Meets the Wolfman, etc. Yes, these were the days before home VCRs! I also stayed up late on Fridays and Saturdays to watch the great horror hosts; Hoolihan & Big Chuck (now Big Chuck & Little John), Chllie Billie, and Superhost (it was a good thing that I lived halfway between Pittsburgh, PA and Cleveland, OH and had a great antenna - no cable back them). I have also just published a horror novel. Now, having said all that, I now see that many modern low budget Horror and Sci-Fi films lack the pyro special effects that they need as well as weapons."

"question": "Or the soldier that shot through the door with an M2 Carbine machine-gun trying to kill the alien in the 1950s classic The Thing?",
"answer": "It also was great gun action. You can have the same weapons, bullet hits (wall squibs, dust balls, spark hits), and pyro-SFX (napta bombs/firery explosions) that are used in big budget films along with blood effects as well (squibs, pumping blood lines, etc.). We will also custom build or modify existing weapons to give them a futuristic look."

{
"question": "Can we pay you after the movie sells?",
"answer": "A: This is the classic request by producers with low budgets. The answer is no. I have received bad checks and cannot rely on the marketing savvy of small production companies to come through for us. Also, I no longer accept stock in movies for payment. Q: We are doing an anti-gun movie showing gun ownership in a bad light."
},
{
"question": "Will you do it?",
"answer": "A. Absolutely not. I am very pro-second amendment and we review all scripts for any anti-gun content."
},
{
"question": "Q: This is a low-budget movie, can you work with us?",
"answer": "A. Sure. I'll work with your producers to schedule the action scenes so that you won't have to incur lengthy rentals. I will also give special discounted rates to low budget productions with budgets of $ 500,000 or less in the Pittsburgth area. Q: I'm a first-time independent film producer, and after seeing your rates, I realize that we didn't budget enough for weapons ."
},
{
"question": "Can you do any pro-bono work?",
"answer": "A: First, my question in reply to questions regarding budget is: how can you budget for something with which you have no experience with the cost. Many times, independent producers don't balk about pricing for lighting equipment, camera rentals, etc., and then expect to use the change left over in their budget to pay for special effects and weapon rental. I have been involved in several productions as an associate producer, and on my first film I lost $8,000. If you want to be in this business, you need to make sacrifices. I once had an independent producer tell me that he could not write a check for a balance of $150, because the production company was out of money, and then in the same breath, tell me that he'll get back to me after his Caribbean vacation. If you want your movie to look good, then you'll have to make a personal sacrifice even if it means selling something you own to get the special effects that you need. Otherwise, go to Toys-R-Us, and buy some cap guns for your production. As far as pro-bono work, I do not do anything for free, as I have already paid my dues. Give me a call and I'll help you with your budget. Q: I have your estimate and break-down. It looks good, but I can't afford the weapons you've recommended."
},
{
"question": "Can I substitute some lower-priced weapons for those in your break-down?",
"answer": "A: Yes, it's your movie. However, if by selecting other weapons, you compromise the historical accuracy or believability of the film (unless it's a comedy), I may refuse to do the movie, as my reputation is on the line as well. I can sometimes substitute resin-cast replicas of firearms that look realistic in a holster or at a distance, when you don't need the weapon to fire. These replicas can supplement the real weapons in your production and we can pass the real weapons around to the shooters in your scene."

{
"question": "Q: I can get a \"gun wrangler\" for $200 per day, why should I pay you more?",
"answer": "A: I have met many people who have called themselves gun wranglers, who were not even familiar with guns, but who passed themselves off as gun experts just to get on a movie set to do some work. If you hire just anybody, you are putting yourselves, your crew and your actors at risk. Many low budget productions have asked some of their crew to bring their personally owned firearms to the set because they didn't know where to rent them from a theatrical armorer. BIG MISTAKE - the blanks that are sold by sporting goods stores ARE NOT theatrical blanks and may injure, disable, or kill. These blanks will not cycle semi-automatic and full-auto firearms. Semi and full-auto firearms must be modified by a machinist in order for them to function with blanks. You cannot just simply load blanks into a semi-auto pistol, assault rifle, or machine-gun, it won't cycle/function. Keep in mind that, with all the respect in the world for prop masters, when I work weapons I am not a prop master, I am a weapons expert. I have worked in the firearms industry since 1982, have shot guns since 1975, and have been a defense indusrty consultant working on many top small arms projects for the US military and law enforcement for many years. I will give special discounted rates to low budget productions with budgets of $ 500,000 or less in the Pittsburgh area. Q: What is a \"prep day?\" A: A prep day is basically a pre-production day. When other crew are on set getting things ready for filming in pre-production, the Armorer and/or SFX Coordinator is in his shop getting all of the guns and SFX tested and ready for the film. He may also be building SFX equipment and customizing guns that will be needed in the first few days of filming. The daily rates that are agreed to for the film will be charged for the prep days. Q: I can use fake guns or real guns that don't fire and add digital effects in post production."
},
{
"question": "Why should I use real guns that fire blanks?",
"answer": "A: There are many reasons if you want your movie to be realistic. By just simply adding a muzzle flash does not make the gun look like its firing live ammo. 1) On all machine-guns and sub machine-guns the rate of fire (how many rounds fired per minute or per second) is different. They can vary from 400 RPM to 3,000+ RPM. Each one is different. 2) Most assault rifles, some pistols, and many machine-guns have a flash hider or muzzle brake at the end of the barrel that controls muzzle flash and/or recoil and each one creates a different type of flash which are sometimes shaped like a side ways letter E, 3 sided star, 4 sided star, 6 sided star and many other shapes. 3) Every time a semi (pistols, rifles) or full-auto (machine-gun) firearm is fired the gun ejects the empty shell. All models eject at different angles and throw shells at different distances. 4) Every time a semi (pistols, rifles) or full-auto (machine-gun) firearm is fired the gun ejects the empty shell and a smoke trail will follow the shell. 5) All guns expel some amount of smoke from the ejection port and barrel. 6) Belt-fed machine-guns feed from a visible belt of ammunition and it feeds/moves into the receiver of the gun at the gun's rate of fire. 7) Some machine-guns have plastic see-through magazines in which the ammo/blanks are visible as they move into the chamber, as the magazine is emptied, when the gun is fired. 8) All, semi-auto (pistols, rifles) and full-auto guns (machine-guns) have parts that move EACH time the gun is fired such as; bolt handles, slides, bolts, bolt carriers, etc. Some of these parts are large and may make up 40% of the gun in size. 9) Actors, both the shooter and the actor getting shot at, react naturally to guns being fired. 10) Muzzle flash will reflect on an actor's face and clothes in low light. Also other objects in close proximity to the gun will reflect muzzle flash."

"question": "1) - 10)?",
"answer": "Even if you do, it still won't look authentic. If you choose to use real guns, everything is done as soon as the director yells \"cut,\" and it IS real. Q: I think that fake guns, wether they are made from plastic, wood, or paper mache' are just fine because my post production effects guy can add muzzle flash. I don't care about guns and I don't think the audience cares either."
},
{
"question": "A: All of the above IS visible to the audience and with over 80+ million gun owners in the U.S. alone as well as millions of military veterans worldwide, do you really want to risk realism?",
"answer": "As for those of you that think that fake guns look the same as real ones, this shows your level of knowledge of firearms. Let me give you an analogy based on your opinion: I suppose that if a director didn't have $ 500/day to rent a Ferrari, and was concerned about an actor stepping on the gas and running over some crew, he may just go to a junkyard and buy a red Z28 without a motor, put some Ferrari stickers on it, tow it behind a real car, and add some digital exhaust fumes, and engine sounds to it in post production and that would be just as good as having a REAL Ferrari as most of the audience probably have never driven, or have seen in person, a REAL Ferrari, and those reruns of Magnum P.I. are too distant of a memory for anyone to know better. All of the millions of race fans and car collectors wouldn't notice either."
},
{
"question": "These look real, don't they?",
"answer": "A: These \"guns\" are great for filming in locations where firearms laws are very restricted like New York City limits and Washington, DC. The machine-gun versions fire the small explosives at the tip of the barrel at the same rate of fire as the originals but they don't eject shells. The muzzle flash would be generic and the parts that should move, don't. You would still have to do the following, from list above, in post production: 3), 4), 6), 7) and 8). Another problem with these guns is that when fired they leave \"stringy\" smoke trails that float slowly upwards, similar to firework smoke. If you have a need for these guns I can get them for you as ISS is a main distributor of them but don't expect cheaper rental rates as these guns cost three to four times as much as the real thing. Rentals are higher. I would use them if we had a film in Washington, DC but would use real guns in the DC suburbs which are located in Virginia and Maryland."

},
{
"question": "Q: Do you ever use fake guns on set?",
"answer": "A: Sure. There are times when the gun needs to fall on the ground or when the production can only afford a few real guns. Review this question above; Q: I have your estimate and break-down. It looks good, but I can't afford the weapons you've recommended."
},
{
"question": "Q: Will you work as a local?",
"answer": "A: Only in the Pittsburgh, PA, Northern West Virginia, and much of North Eastern Ohio. As stated previously, I will work with low budget film productions. Motel 6 doesn't scare me one bit but I will not accept Motel 6 when other coordinators and production staff are sleeping at the Ritz-Carlton."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can you do special effects?",
"answer": "A: Yes, I am a special effects coordinator as well as many of my staff. I have been told that my squibbed blood bags are the best they've seen by those who have given me the compliment. I can also work as an assistant in your SFX department."
},
{
"question": "Q: Will you train my actors?",
"answer": "A: Of course. I strongly recommend that all productions take the time to get their actors trained for safety and realism. Your director will also yell \"cut\" a lot less when actors know how to handle the firearms. All actors will get at least a minimum amount of training."
},
{
"question": "Q: Are you related to Robert DeNiro?",
"answer": "A: I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked me! The answer is yes. Although I have never met him, members of my immediate family were in contact with his father before he passed away. Our families are originally from the Campobasso, Italy and nearby Agnone, Italy regions. Click here to see a sample script breakdown and estimate. I understand that sometimes you must use all fake guns due to budget, local laws, etc. Many producers have done a good job with post digital effects and fake guns. However, I have never seen fake post gun effects that look like the real thing. If you can afford to add at least a couple of real guns, it will add to your production value.
