{
"question": "Q: What debts will be eliminated in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?",
"answer": "A: Generally all your credit card debt (except cash advances in excess of $750 taken within 60 days of filing), medical bills, and debts owed due to repossession of a vehicle. Some debts are not dischargeable including Student Loans, funds procured by fraud, criminal fines and restitution payments, and income taxes less than three years old."
},
{

},
{
"question": "Q: How much money can I make per year and still file for Chapter 7?",
"answer": "A: The Orwellian titled Bankruptcy Reform and Consumer Proctection Act of 2005 has imposed certain eligibility requirements for debtors seeking Chapter 7 relief. Your eligibility is determined by the means test. The means test looks at your gross income for the past 6 months prior to filing. If your income is below the median, then you are eligible for Chapter 7. If your income is above the median, then you must complete the means test. The means test deducts various expenditures from your gross income to determine your “disposable monthly income”. If your disposable monthly income is more than $166.66 or is more than $100 and this amount would repay at least 25% of your unsecured creditors, you will be ineligible for Chapter 7 without showing special circumstances. A: When a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy petition is filed an “automatic stay” which prohibits any further collection efforts is imposed upon all creditors. This will stop collection agencies from calling you and will stay any court proceeding to collect money from you. There are certain exceptions to the automatic stay including criminal actions, actions to enforce or modify a domestic support order and IRS Tax Audits. Further, a secured creditor may motion the court to lift the automatic stay if the debtor has no equity in the asset or if the secured creditor is not “adequately protected”. The automatic stay in Chapter 7 remains in place until it is lifted by the court, the debtor is discharged or the property is no longer part of the estate. If a creditor violates the automatic stay, said creditor may be sanctioned by the Bankruptcy Court. A: California and Federal law have various exemptions which will allow you to retain a good amount of your property after the conclusion of your Chapter 7 case. California allows a debtor to retain up to $21,775 of miscellaneous property (“wild card” exemption), which for many debtors encompasses everything they own. If you own your home, California will allow you to keep up to $50,000 in equity if you are single and $75,000 in equity if you are married. If you select the California homestead exemption as authorized, you will not be able to use the wild card exemption for other property. If your equity exceeds the exemptible amounts, Chapter 13 may be a better option for you if you wish to retain your home. Additionally, most pension plans, private retirement plans and IRAs are exempt in their entirety. For a complete summary of California exemption rules click here. A: Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is officially titled “Readjustment of Debts for Individuals with Regular Income”. Chapter 13 debtor’s are usually individuals who are either ineligible for Chapter 7 because of the means test, have received a Chapter 7 discharge within the last 8 years prior to the petition or have non-exempt assets they desire to retain. A Chapter 13 debtor must be an individual with regular income and with unsecured debts less than $307,625 and secured debts less than $922,975. A Chapter 13 debtor enters into a payment plan over which he or she pays back a portion of his or her debts. After completing the plan, the Debtor is discharged from any remaining liability with some exceptions including amounts acquired by fraud, student loans, and domestic support obligations. In a Chapter 13 plan, all priority creditors unless consenting otherwise must be paid in full. A debtor can use a Chapter 13 plan to pay back arrerages on a home mortgage while retaining ownership of the home. Likewise a debtor can use a Chapter 13 plan to pay back arrearages on a vehicle (or any other secured debt) while retaining ownership of it. The arrearage payment will be in addition to the debtor’s regular monthly payment."
},
{
"question": "Q: How much will my monthly payment be under a Chapter 13 plan?",
"answer": "A: This depends on several factors. First, general unsecured creditors must receive an amount equal to or greater than the amount they would receive under hypothetical Chapter 7 liquidation. For example, a Chapter 13 debtor with $25,000 in non-exempt assets, must pay the creditors at least $25,000 in present value terms over the duration of the plan. Second, the debtor must commit all of his or her disposable income to the plan for the duration of the plan. Disposable income is computed in a similar manner to method used to determine Chapter 7 eligibility. There are other requirements such as that the plan must be presented in good faith and, as mentioned previously, that all priority creditors must be paid in full. A: No. The U. S. Bankruptcy Law specifically prohibits discrimination based upon a debtor filing for protection under the bankruptcy laws. A: If you want to keep your vehicle, it will be necessary for you to continue making the monthly payments. In a Chapter 7, you have the right to return the vehicle to the finance company if you do not want to keep your car."
},
{
"question": "Q: Will my credit be ruined for 10 years after the bankruptcy?",
"answer": "A: The bankruptcy will be the first step in re-establishing your credit. Typically, the debtor’s credit is ruined, or about to be ruined, at the time the debtor seeks legal advice. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge all outstanding debt and the credit reports will reflect that the outstanding debt is reduced to $0.00. The average debtor is typically able to re-establish good credit within 18 to 30 months."

The \"mapping function\" is a T -> U mapping implementation of an anonymous class of the Function interface which might be shortened with a lambda expression or a method reference. In your sample, the T and U are both String since you map the String to its upper-case variation which is a String again. It behaves the same like UnaryOperator<T> a special case of Function<T, T> which consumes and returns the same type."

"question": " I find I get quite anxious when I visit a dentist, is there anything I can do about this?",
"answer": "At CARE Implants we have a number of ways to assist nervous patients feel comfortable during dental procedures. We provide intravenous sedation (sleep dentistry) to help patients suffering anxiety or who are having potentially uncomfortable procedures. We also have the Wand Plus, a computer controlled tool which lessens any sense of anxiety by being able to deliver a near painless injection. We also use laser energy which is an extremely effective and painless way to treat many dental conditions. We also provide nitrous-oxide which helps reduce anxiety and quickly wears off after a few deep breaths. Penthrox is another inhalation sedation which is used to both relieve anxiety and reduce pain. Oral medicines such as valium can be prescribed and are taken a one or two hours before an appointment to assist in reliving you of anxiety. The pills need to be taken exactly as directed."
},
{
"question": " What is the first step in having implants placed?",
"answer": "The initial stage begins with our dental implant team led by Dr Christopher Ho preparing a treatment plan for the patient. This begins with a detailed and exact assessment of the patient’s mouth, their gums, teeth and jaw as well as their medical history. Our in house 3D CT technology may be used to evaluate the amount of the patient’s bone that can be utilised for placing the implant and to determine their precise position. During this initial consultation, we will inform the patient about the pros and cons of the various treatment possibilities. He will also take into account what is achievable and the patient’s overall clinical situation. From this, we will produce a treatment and cost plan for consideration."
},
{
"question": "What is ‘teeth or tooth in one day’?",
"answer": "Many patients benefit from of our ability to offer implant surgery and fit a crown or full arch bridge within a single day. ‘Teeth or tooth in one day’ may be a suitable option when someone has a missing front tooth that they want replaced. It is also appropriate for people substituting full dentures with implants (i.e. they are already missing all upper or all lower or both) and for people with partial dentures with failed teeth or only one good tooth remaining. The procedures for these two scenarios are done with the All on 4 dental implant treatment which uses four dental implants to fix a prosthesis. People with a medical condition such as uncontrolled diabetes or who have poor bone density are advised not to have the single day procedure. There is no upper age limit for patients to undergo implant treatment provided they continue to enjoy reasonable good health. Our oldest patient was 93."
},
{
"question": "Can I claim the cost of implants from my private health Insurance?",
"answer": "Yes, but the rebate amount will depend on your level of cover. If your insurance covers dental benefits, bring your private health insurance card with you to the centre so we can submit a benefits claim for you. Periodontal disease is usually a slow disease and most people are not aware that they have it. The most obvious signs of periodontal disease are: bleeding gums, bad breath, bad taste, red or swollen gums, loose teeth and receding gums. Gum disease presents in many different forms, ranging from very mild (gingivitis) to severe (periodontitis) with varying levels of soft tissue destruction leading to possible tooth loss. We know that cost is a big question for anyone considering dental work. The truth is, only at the initial consultation we can determine the cost for your specific treatment. It depends on the kind of treatment you need, how long it takes, the number of dental implants to be inserted, the type of restoration chosen and the dental laboratory work that is required to complete the case. Additional costs may arise if the bone also has to be built up to support the implant. The full cost is explained in your first consultation and confirmed with a written treatment plan."
},
{
"question": "I have had missing teeth for a number of years now, can I still get an implant put in?",
"answer": "There is no reason why you cannot have implants even after you have had teeth missing for many years. The only real contra-indications to treatment are mainly for medical problems that have a systemic effect on healing. Implants are generally placed under local anaesthesia. Patients are often surprised at how little discomfort they experience during and after implant treatment. However, if you are anxious about the procedure, you may decide to have sleep dentistry where you can be sedated for the procedure."
},
{
"question": "Are there any restrictions?",
"answer": "Once the treatment is complete, you can use your implants as if they were natural teeth. You can bite into an apple or chew steak, as long as you don't use your teeth for leverage. Recent studies show the success rates of implant placement to be approaching 95% to 98%, a very predictable result in any medical procedure."
},
{
"question": "What to expect at your first visit?",
"answer": "Your first appointment is an opportunity to gather as much information as possible to assist treatment planning. Our doctors will discuss the findings from this information and outline the nature of your condition. We will explain what dental implications you may have and how that will affect the future of your teeth."
},
{
"question": "Will I be able to feel the implants?",
"answer": "Once placed, implants cannot be felt. Titanium implants are completely biocompatible and tolerated by the body like natural teeth."
},
{
"question": "Will people be able to tell that I have false teeth?",
"answer": "Dental Implants look, feel and function like natural teeth. Photos and models of your mouth are used to plan the replacement teeth for aesthetics, function and speech. Implants are carefully shade matched to blend in with your natural teeth."

{
"question": "If so many UNICCO employees really want a union, why aren’t they all striking?",
"answer": "There are a lot of answers to this question, so our apologies in advance for not responding with a sound-byte. Answer # 1: Dont believe everything you hear from University officials. There is far greater strike support than University officials are willing to admit. The SEIU reports that fully 50% of the Coral Gables workforce joined the strike by Wednesday afternoon, and an internal report from a senior official in the Department of Residence Halls confirms that approximately that percentage were MIA in the residential colleges on Wednesday and Thursday. Eyewitness accounts confirm that over 100 UNICCO workers were out at the picket line yesterday, and the suggestion by some UM officials that most of the picketers have been shipped in from elsewhere is nonsense. Indeed, those of us who have lived as well as worked on campus were able to recognize virtually all of the faces at the picket site. Last night, at a program on the strike held at Eaton Residential College, one of the union organizers whom UNICCO has not fired yet was asked by a member of the audience why some of her colleagues had not yet walked off the job. Her response was, They are so afraid; on this record, they have good reason to be. Answer # 5: Because the SEIU realizing all of the above hasnt asked all of its supporters to strike. Yet."

"question": "Why do Jews not accept Jesus as a god or a messiah?",
"answer": "Missionaries say that JC is both the son of G-d and the long-awaited Messiah. Here's why Jews reject both claims. In what has become one of his most celebrated and well‑known works, Maimonides, in his commentary on the Mishnah, compiled what he refers to as the Thirteen Articles of Faith, compiled from Judaism's 613 commandments found in the Torah."

"question": "Why should I use all natural handmade soap?",
"answer": "Handmade soap is gentle on your skin and simply good for it! Glycerin is a natural by product of the soap making process. Glycerin helps the skin attract and retain moisture. From the first time you use our handmade soap and you will immediately feel the difference from the soap you get at your local grocery store. Mass produced soap has all of the glycerin removed and leaves your skin dry. Moisturizing qualities combined with the benefits of essential oils make the perfect solution for everyday skin care."
},
{
"question": "Does STEM Handmade soap contain lye?",
"answer": "No! There is no lye in our soaps. Soap cannot be made without using Lye ( sodium hydroxide). During the soap making process, called saponification, the lye acts as a reagent to transform the oils into soap and glycerin. Once saponification is complete, all that is left is soap and glycerin. No lye! Once all the ingredients are combined, it takes about 4 weeks for the soap to cure ensuring no lye remains. Our soap is not sold until it has cured for at least 4 weeks."

"question": "If a client asks for a copy of the animal's record, what are my obligations?",
"answer": "Veterinarians must furnish a copy or synopsis of medical records, upon request by the client. Records should be released within a reasonable period of time (five business days), and the veterinarian may charge a nominal copying fee. While X-rays are part of a patient’s record, they are considered to be the property of the veterinarian. You may provide a client with a copy of the patient’s X-ray, and you can charge them your duplication cost. Also, veterinarians customarily provide original radiographs to other veterinarians at a client’s’ request and in the spirit of professionalism and concern for the patient. The Veterinary Medical Examining Board expects that X-rays will be returned promptly to the original veterinarian. Failure to do so is a violation of administrative rule. What if a client has not paid his bill."
},
{
"question": "Can I withhold the records or their pet until I am paid for my services?",
"answer": "No. A veterinarian cannot withhold records or a pet for non-payment of services. The delinquent account is a collections issue."
},
{
"question": "Are veterinarians exempt from jury duty?",
"answer": "While jury duty is an obligation for each of us when called to serve, it can pose some serious obstacles to running a practice and making a living. Here is a suggestion: although you cannot “get out of” jury duty, you can request to serve at a more convenient or less busy time for your practice. The courts are not obligated to honor your request, but they may take it under consideration. This strictly is your decision. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has developed a position statement to guide your actions. The AVMA encourages veterinarians to honor client requests to prescribe rather than dispense a drug when a veterinarian-client-patient relationship exists and the veterinarian has determined that the drug is medically necessary. What about internet pharmacies."
},
{
"question": "If they are outside of Illinois, must I be licensed in the state of the pharmacy to authorize a prescription?",
"answer": "Not at all. The client has the option of filling a prescription at any authorized pharmacy. In this example, the veterinarian’s practice of veterinary medicine, which would include writing a prescription, would be confined to his or her state. If you are asked to approve a prescription, you should do so only if the prescription is medically appropriate for the patient and you have a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship. The decision as to whether a prescription drug should be used for a patient is made by you – the veterinarian – and not a pharmacy. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) does not have a position on this subject. There are currently no regulations preventing a veterinarian to charge a fee for writing a prescription. In general, veterinarians must charge adequately for their professional services to cover he costs of maintaining a veterinary clinic, paying staff, and offering quality medical care to a client’s animal. Some have chosen to charge a prescription issuance fee in those cases when the veterinarian does not directly dispense the medication to the client. Some have considered implementing a policy to charge a specified fee, whether a drug is dispensed or prescribed. Others have reviewed fees and the need for any adjustments within the context of all services rendered. And still others charge for their professional services using units of time (e.g. when reviewing prescription drug authorizations or conducting telephone consultations with clients). Report it! The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has created a Pharmacy Complaint Form to simplify the reporting process for practitioners. The form identifies the organizations to which the form should be sent. Regulatory agencies cannot act unless they have factual complaints to pursue. Contact us and we will send you a copy of the complaint form."

{
"question": "If we are out of a legend drug but need it to treat one of our patients, can we get it from a neighboring veterinary clinic?",
"answer": "Yes, but the Drug Enforcement Agency cautions that both practices must keep a detailed log about the transfer of the legend drug. Not having a clearly defined paper trails is inviting trouble, should some thing go wrong and the DEA investigates."
},
{
"question": "Are there any guidelines for treating my patients with non-traditional care?",
"answer": "Before using unorthodox or non-standard methods of diagnosis or treatment, the Illinois Veterinary Licensing and Disciplinary Board suggests that you inform your clients and get their written permission. Clients of mine have taken their dog to a chiropractor. I think he is treating other animals as well."
},
{
"question": "Is this permitted?",
"answer": "It is allowed, provided that the veterinarian has seen and diagnosed the animal for a specific condition and the chiropractor receives a written referral from the veterinarian. The care must be upon referral from a licensed veterinarian who has specified treatment or therapy for the animal. If these steps are not followed, then the chiropractor would be in direct violation of his own practice act, as well as the Veterinary Practice Act. Keep in mind that the referring veterinarian retains all liability if the animal is injured by a referred chiropractor. Therefore, you should exercise extreme caution before choosing to utilize a non-veterinarian chiropractic provider. If you have further questions on this matter, contact us."

},
{
"question": "If a doctor is working as a relief veterinarian for a clinic, may they buy controlled substances with their current DEA license for use in the clinic?",
"answer": "The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation has indicated that relief veterinarians may not use their private Controlled Substance License to purchase medications for use in another clinic. The DEA issues one Controlled Substance License for every location that a doctor or veterinarian practices, prescribes, and dispensed controlled medication. Should a veterinary clinic run out of a medication, only a doctor with a controlled substance license registered at that location may legally purchase drugs for the clinic. In extraordinary circumstances a veterinarian should apply for a controlled substance license with the IDFPR, the cost is $5.00 per Illinois licenses and the Department will work with the veterinarian in an effort to expedite the process."
},
{
"question": "Are there any provisions that prevent me from using a computer to document the dispersamente of controlled substances?",
"answer": "The state of Illinois does not have any provisions on how Controlled Substance Logs are kept beyond what is required by the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency in the Controlled Substance Act. A veterinarian may keep their logs in an electronic or digital format provided that they are readily accessible should a DEA agent need to do an onsite audit. This means that the computer with the log information is either password free or the veterinarian must provide the agent with the password at the time of the record audit. Records may also be kept off the direct premises but they must be made available upon request of the DEA. If a veterinarian has specific questions they should contact their local DEA Diversion Control office and speak to a Diversion Control Agent (Controlled Substance Act; Title 21 Regulations and Codified CSA; Section 1304.04, Maintenance of Records)."
},
{
"question": "What procedures do I have to follow if an animal has been abandoned in our clinic?",
"answer": "Sec. 18. Unless otherwise contractually provided between veterinarian and client, a veterinarian may dispose of any animal abandoned in his establishment, provided he shall give notice of his intention to do so to the owner at the last known address by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall allow a period of 7 days to elapse after the receipt is returned before disposing of such animal. But if the owner cannot be located at such address, the veterinarian shall give such notice by publication in a newspaper published and having a circulation in the area in which such owner was last known to reside and shall allow a period of 7 days to elapse after such publication before disposing of such animal."

{
"question": "Do the replacement filters fit under sink, boat or caravan systems?",
"answer": "No. The replacement filters we sell specifically fit the WaterGuard or FilterMate Whole House Systems. There may be some cases where our filters fit another brand or style of system but we cannot guarantee they are the same composition. The dimensions of the filter cartridges are approximately 250mm high x 115mm wide. There is a small variance between the individual filters. To ensure we provide you with the correct one, either call or email us and we will happily email it to you. If you are not sure which system you have, include a photo of the system and approximate purchase date and we will identify it for you. There are a number of reasons why the ballast will alarm, but the most common is the globe is due to be replaced (error code A3) . The ballast on your system has a count down timer from either 550 or 365 days depending on the system. Once the days run out, the ballast alarm will sound to indicate the globe is no longer working at optimum levels and needs to be replaced. The alarm can be silenced until you install a new globe by following the instructions on the ballast itself. Note the globe will still be working during this time so the system will still be functional. If your ballast is alarming for another reason, turn the power off, disconnect the cable that attaches to the lamp, then reconnect to ensure that is has not worked its way loose, then turn the power back on. If the globe is working, there should be a dull blue light emanating from the UV chamber where the globe slides in (note do not remove the globe whilst the system is connected to power). If the globe is not working it may have failed for other reasons. To protect against power surges, your warranty conditions require a surge protector to be fitted where the system plugs into the powerpoint (this is not an RCD)."

"question": "Do you ship anywhere in Australia?",
"answer": "We ship to most destinations in Australia. Whole house systems are sent by courier at a flat shipping rate, however some remote areas may not be covered by our flat rate. Consumables and replacement parts are sent by Australia Post."
},
{
"question": "How long do the filters and UV globes last, and what do they cost to replace?",
"answer": "Filter life varies according to water quality, water quantity, and frequency / standard of your filter cleaning regime. A filter maintenance guide is contained in the manual, but budget on 2-3 sets of filters per annum. Usually the first indication that filters need replacing is a noticable drop in water pressure in your house. The UV globe typically has a life of 12-18 months but should be replaced annually. The ballast on your system has a count down timer from either 550 or 365 days depending on the system. Once the days run out, the ballast alarm will sound to indicate the globe is no longer working at optimum levels and needs to be replaced. The alarm can be silenced until you install a new globe by following the instructions on the ballast itself. Replacement Filter Cartridges and UV Globes are available to order online from our website. Tip: Carry a spare \"first filter\", (the 5 micron Pleated Pre Filter), and swop this at each cleaning inspection. This gets your system back on line quickly, and you can clean the removed filter at your leisure. I see your Whole House Water Filter System come in different models."
},
{
"question": "How do I choose for my situation?",
"answer": "The difference between the models in the Residential range is simply the flow rate supported and the ability to add optional items. To ascertain the correct flow rate, the easist way is to check the flow rate of your pump."
},
{
"question": "Where can I buy the consumables, ie replacement filter cartridges, globes, seals etc?",
"answer": "All consumables (plus any spare parts) for both the WaterGuard and Filtermate systems can be purchased either through our website (see 'Shop by Category' on the left) using our secure payment system or by phoning us directly. Note that your warranty will be voided if you use consumables or spare parts purchased from another source. If you wish to purchase more than one item, you can add items to your shopping basket and once you are done identifying all the items you need, you can view the items in your shopping basket and proceed towards checkout and payment."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between your activated carbon block filters and granular carbon filters?",

},
{
"question": "I wish to install the Filtermate or Waterguard Whole House Water Filter Systems myself, is this possible?",
"answer": "Full installation instructions are contained in each Water Filtration System pack, and our outlet and inlet valves are standard 1\" (25mm). However, we recommend using a licensed plumber who can supply the hose connectors / additional piping to suit your own water line, which may be typically 1\", 1 1/4\", or 3/4\"."
},
{
"question": "Any tips for filter removal for cleaning or replacement?",
"answer": "Turn off your water supply, and press the red button on top of the filter housing to reduce the pressure in the system - and stop you getting wet! The enclosed filter wrench easily turns the filter housing, and then unscrew by hand. Remove the filter, clean / or replace, and insert back in the housing. Check the O Ring is seated neatly in its groove, screw up the filter housing, and turn water back on. (These Instructions are in your Manual) Remember to remove the plastic wrapping from replacement filters before use!"
},
{
"question": "Will the Filtermate and Water Guard filtration systems reduce the Fluoride added to my town supply water?",
"answer": "Our standard 3 stage filtration system will certainly reduce the fluoride levels in town water by variable amounts according to individual circumstances, but not to the 99%+ removal possible with the likes of chlorine."
},
{
"question": "What maximum safe water pressure do Filtermate Residential Filter Systems operate with?",
"answer": "A pressure regulator, (Pressure Reducing Valve), set below 70psi (488kPa), must be installed before the filter housings for water pressure exceeding 70psi."

https://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/FAQ_-_Benefit_Audits.htm | [
{
"question": "Why did I receive a benefit audit?",
"answer": "The goal of the EDD benefit audits is to ensure that claimants properly report all work and earnings to the EDD and that employers’ reserve accounts are correctly charged. Keep in mind: the EDD is not auditing employer records, only the information provided by claimants. Therefore, it is important to respond within 10 days of receiving any requests for information to help prevent overpayments."
},
{
"question": "Why are there four types of benefit audits?",
"answer": "The four audits are independent of each other and allow the EDD to detect fraud and improper payments using both state and national databases."
},
{
"question": "Why should I complete the forms?",
"answer": "By completing the forms timely and accurately, you help the EDD determine if proper payments were made to the claimant. If improper payments were made, a credit can be given to an employer’s account when an overpayment is established."
},
{
"question": "What if a form is not completed accurately?",
"answer": "If a form is not completed correctly, it requires additional review, which means we may request additional information and you may need to check your records a second time."
},
{
"question": "What if the person didn’t work for me during those weeks?",
"answer": "Complete the audit by marking the appropriate box. Be sure to sign, date, and return the audit to the address shown on the form within 10 days. If you do not return the audit, you may receive a duplicate audit requesting the same information. If another person has worked for you using the same Social Security number, or your employee’s name does not match the name on the form, list the name of your employee in the appropriate box and return the completed audit to the EDD."
},
{
"question": "What if the person has never been my employee?",
"answer": "Return the audit form even if the claimant did not work for you. Be sure to mark the appropriate box, sign, date, and return the audit to the address shown on the form within 10 days. If you do not return the audit, you may receive a duplicate audit requesting the same information."
},
{
"question": "What if I return the form late?",
"answer": "Return it as soon as possible. We still need the information and will act upon it when the audit is received."
},
{
"question": "Why must I report weekly information?",
"answer": "The law requires claimants to report weekly earnings during the calendar week when earned. Claimants are paid UI benefits on a weekly basis, and the earnings they report for the week affect the benefits paid to them. In order to conduct our audit, we need you to supply the information in the same weekly format. The UI benefit week usually begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. Please mail the completed forms back to EDD. The return address is printed at the bottom of the benefit audit forms. Job Separations: claimants indicate being laid off due to a lack of work when they actually quit, were fired, or omitted the separation information. Note: ”Laid Off/Lack of Work/Reduction in Force” means your business slowed down and you did not have any work for the individual to do. Job Refusals: Claimants refuse work and fail to inform the EDD. Availability: Claimants are not available for work due to transportation restrictions, school, incarceration, self–employment, etc. Ability: Claimants are physically unable to work due to a temporary or permanent disability. Identity Theft: An imposter uses an identity not his or her own to claim UI benefits. When an audit finds that an overpayment exists and/or fraud has occurred, an administrative decision is issued to the claimant. The claimant has the right to appeal and is given 30 days to request a timely hearing before an Administrative Law Judge if he or she disagrees with the result of the decision. Claimants found to have fraudulently claimed benefits are liable to repay any resulting overpayment, plus a 30 percent penalty, and they are penalized for up to 23 weeks of future benefits. The number of penalty weeks is determined by several factors, including the amount and number of weeks of overpayment. Unpaid penalty weeks can only be served by claiming otherwise eligible weeks of UI benefits. Penalty weeks remain in effect for three years after the decision is issued. Serving penalty weeks does not reduce the overpayment. In certain fraud cases, the EDD’s Investigation Division pursues criminal convictions. In these situations, an investigator may request additional evidence, such as copies of payroll checks."

{
"question": "Are Drivers Always Liable for Hitting a Pedestrian?",
"answer": "No. A driver is not automatically liable for a pedestrian accident. Under Nevada law (Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 41.141), pedestrian accident claims are subject to the state’s comparative negligence standard. Each party will be held responsible for their share of the accident. Among other things, this means that an injured pedestrian could share some of the fault for their own accident. For example, if a pedestrian crossed the street against a “Do Not Walk” sign, a court may determine that the pedestrian was responsible for part, or all, of the resulting accident. Unfortunately, the big insurance companies sometimes try to unfairly blame pedestrians for their own injuries. If they are successful in doing so, it can take thousands of dollars out of a settlement offer. Do not let this happen to you: work with a pedestrian accident lawyer who will protect your rights."

"question": "Or does that mean the \"friendly\" part kicks in and only refers to your own ships?",
"answer": "I like this kind of fleet - I have been working on improving a similar build, though with Hammerhead Torpedo Corvettes and a MC-80 flying pickle flagship. Like you, I've gone with Rieekan now over Dodonna for the zombie factor. The reason I went with Hammerheads is you want to get them close in, so I like the black dice they add for extra potential damage since I'm going to be in knife range anyway. While I like the double taps your engine techs provide, I went with boarding engineers and external racks on my 4 corvettes - once I get some damage on a target, I'm fishing for flipping over double damage criticals. I also expect to lose at least one corvette per star destroyer - that's why I'm now using Rieekan - but prefer to punch them rather than save myself, so have external racks on each as well and all of them are task force Organa. Good luck! It's fun to fly. Oh, also, I went with totally different objectives: Fleet Ambush (I know, I know, folks don't think that's a good choice, but with 5 ships and strategic adviser, plus a few squadrons of a-wings solely to fend off bombers, I like it), station assault, and dangerous territory. Eh, I emailed this guy about this tournament some time ago as I was considering driving a fair distance to attend. Got a rude response. After I emailed back that he was rude, got a longer response that it was his wife's fault as her English isn't that good and she comes off as \"curt.\" I was not impressed with my interactions with this guy. While I can see both sides here, after my interaction with this guy and his business, gotta say that I don't think I'd ever do business with them, that's for sure. I didn't bother to go to his tournament and I personally wouldn't feel bad, dominosfleet, that you've been \"banned\" LOL."

"question": "Is it worth starting Armada?",
"answer": "I just started playing 3 months ago. It's been a blast. Ooh. Nice idea on Wulff - hadn't thought of that. Never have played with Jerjerrod - will have to give him a try. The minus will be needing a navigation token and dial to slow down enough for the engaging ships. The plus will be easier time for the flanking Cymoon. Will give that some thought. Yeah, wasn't totally happy with one XI7. Problem with QBTs is the speed issue - find I'm usually facing cautious Rebels at slower speed (unless they're running away). Maybe I remove SO and XI7 for one QTC - if I get an accuracy, I get a second one. Or perhaps one SFO and Spinal Armament. Thanks Mad Cat. The problem I had with QBTs was the speed concern as I often have my Hammerheads flying really fast so they can get in and start ramming a target as soon as possible since I'm likely going to lose at least one of them in any engagement with a star destroyer (my last battle, one of my own even self-destructed with thruster fissures to get out of the way for a close-up double shot by one of his brother hammerheads) - so didn't want my MC80 to get left behind. Maybe coupling with engine techs will help allay that concern. I really like the idea of Hondo - super helpful to power the boarding engineers. Hmmm. Trying to keep the bid reasonable, as I want one of these objectives - and to be second player. Will work on it some more."

"question": "I've never used it, but the more I'm thinking about this fleet, my goal is to try to bring lots of firepower to bear on one of the enemy's ships as quick as possible (divide and conquer) - thinking that might make it more likely?",
"answer": "Thanks, Nomemories. However, I don't have any A-wings sadly as I can't get Rebel Fighters 1 without paying an arm and a leg (plus another hand and a foot) on eBay at the moment. I like them as anti-fighters better as you're right, that's all they're supposed to be doing here - tying up enemies squadrons, but can't do anything about that at this moment. I am also considering whether to swap out Hyperspace Assault with Fleet Ambush. Any suggestions appreciated!"

{
"question": "What about academics?",
"answer": "– Explicit teaching in a systematic way works to build the codes of math, language arts and all learning. Math and Language Arts at Caulbridge School are inspired by Universal Design for Learning which is a set of principles for curriculum development that provide skills for all children, regardless of learning style. A solid foundation in literacy and numeracy builds both competence and confidence which can turn a child’s natural curiosity into a love of learning. Making Math Real and Systematic Instruction in Phonological Awareness, Phonics and Sight Words are the specific platforms for our math and language arts. “Typically children who struggle with math do not lack the intelligence or motivation, but rather are missing the foundation and basic tools”, David Berg, developer of Making Math Real, an innovative, fun, hands-on method of learning math that integrates key cognitive development such as symbol imaging, detail analysis, and sequential processing, within every lesson and activity. These academic programs are often used for remediation when children didn’t get the foundational skills in reading or math, however with we want all children to develop solid skills and not wait to remediate."
},
{
"question": "How do you deliver the curriculum?",
"answer": "– Children are physical beings and use all their senses to learn. Learning is physiological and begins in the body. Everything the child is learning has a relationship to a developmentally appropriate and academically relevant thematic unit. The Morning Lesson delivers the main curriculum content and concepts in an extended morning class period. The lessons are taught in a multi-disciplinary, multi-sensory experiential way, and without standard textbooks. Instead, the children make their own portfolio which includes essays, drawings, maps, poetry or descriptions of lab experiments. Teachers work to create lessons and classroom activities that are responsive to a variety of student readiness levels, learning styles and individual capacities. Students create their own lesson books or portfolios of work. Teachers use a variety of curriculum materials and resources, enhanced with teaching, library and research materials. Teachers assemble a collection of resources to integrate the artistic and experiential components within the academics. Because we teach in thematic units, integrating the curriculum, we find standard textbooks lack the inter-connectedness of subject content."
},
{
"question": "Do you use standardized testing?",
"answer": "– Meaningful assessments are aligned to grade-level expectations along with a child’s capacities and learning styles, and ultimately help to inform the ongoing teaching and learning needs. Rather than standardized testing, curriculum-referenced tests are used along with portfolio and observation style academic assessments. Comprehensive developmental assessments that include academic, sensory motor and social-emotional development offer a more complete picture of a child’s education."
},
{
"question": "What about vaccinations and the new law?",
"answer": "– As a school we do not take a position on medical or other family matters. We comply with all legal and educational requirements and have policies and procedures in place for responding to all health or safety emergencies (medical, environmental, etc.). The new vaccine law, SB277 became effective January 1, 2016, requiring students to provide vaccination records or exemptions upon enrollment. To understand the legal exemptions and requirements, please contact our Head of School."
},
{
"question": "Why do you teach practical arts and skills?",
"answer": "– Activities such as carving, knitting, cooking and building are essential to get children working with their hands, using natural materials and creating something practical. Rhythmical movements while working with the hands promotes the mental operations of logic (reaching conclusions, forming judgments, comprehension), calms the nervous system and further develops intelligence which is formed through activity, movement and manual dexterity."
},
{
"question": "How are your Three Frames of Learning incorporated into a typical day?",
"answer": "– The daily schedule is designed around the needs of children, in support of optimal learning and healthy development. An unintended consequence of children growing up in a faster, technology and media centered, digitally connected, more-new-now world is that we seem to have shorter attention spans. A typical school response is to shorten class periods, setting up almost a game-like environment with as many as 3, 5 or 6 transitions in an hour! Any teacher will tell you, what every parent already knows, that transitions are the most difficult times for children. Instead, we have longer class periods which allow for varied activities or ways of approaching the subject content and fewer transitions within the day. See the Daily Schedule and the Three Frames of Learning described."
},
{
"question": "Do you accept students with an IEP, or individual education plan?",
"answer": "– There is a wide continuum from learning styles and learning differences to learning disabilities that require specific interventions. We do not focus our enrollment on students with learning disabilities; however we are also aware that learning differences sometimes present themselves within the traditional school environment of crowded classrooms, fragmented lessons and increased technology. Given a different learning environment of integrated and more in-depth lessons, smaller class sizes, less technology, more focused attention and more nature, these same students have a completely different experience. We assess our school’s capacity to serve a student if there are academic, developmental, physical or behavioral considerations that have been problematic for the student."
},
{
"question": "Do you offer therapeutic services?",
"answer": "– Our School Psychologist, Derek Rubinstein Psy.D., received his doctorate in clinical psychology and has worked as an autism clinician and researcher, a therapist at San Rafael High School, and has provided therapy and psychoeducational assessments. Dr. Rubinstein has also published research on the development and implementation of school-based social clubs for kids on the autism spectrum, animal-assisted group therapy for adults, and the experiences and benefits of learning and practicing mindfulness. Derek spends time on campus as a teacher/mentor to the students and is available for therapeutic support to our students and families."
},
{
"question": "How do you ensure social emotional literacy?",
"answer": "– Strong relationships are forged in the classroom and school community. Our teachers work to deeply understand each child and deliver lessons that take them to the next step of their academic and social development. Without knowing why, children respond to this enthusiasm and attention by reflecting back their best achievements. Educational researchers now recognize that social and emotional learning is a prerequisite for academic success."
},
{
"question": "Do you teach mindfulness practices?",
"answer": "– Using a strengths-based approach, we incorporate mindfulness as a key practice to cultivate present moment awareness, compassion, and curiosity. Through brief mindfulness practices and games, students learn to be aware of their bodies, calm their minds, and become adaptive thinkers with strength of heart and character. Learn more about our Boys Time and Girls Time class for coming of age with mindfulness."
},
{
"question": "What is your homework policy?",
"answer": "– The purpose of homework is to reinforce learning and to practice self-regulation and executive functioning skills (time management, care of materials, prioritizing). Homework is not routinely given until the Fourth Grade. In earlier grades children may like to practice their numbers, letters, or arithmetic and spelling skills at home, and may work on other class related activities such as memorizing lines of the class play or their artistic projects. Our goal is academic strength, not academic stress. Rather than excessive homework or last-minute expectations that may disrupt family time, the teacher prepares a homework ‘packet’ which will be due the following week so that children and families can balance other commitments and family time. Within the weekly homework there will be some expectation of independent reading or lessons and practice of musical instruments. Middle school students will have increasing homework, typically 45-60 minutes several days per week, preparing them for the workload of high school."
},
{
"question": "What about technology and media literacy?",
"answer": "– Caulbridge School engages the young child in adult and peer interactions rather than using computer screens for learning. An increasing body of literature shows that today’s fast‐paced technology and media‐infused society can negatively influence the development of children on many levels including reducing their capacity to create a meaningful connection with others and the world around them. There will be no regular use of technology in the lower grades, except for students with special needs who may benefit from technology support learning. Technology is used as a tool to enhance children’s work and creativity in the older grades. Media literacy, digital citizenship and cyber civics (online safety and ethics) are essential as students enter pre-adolescence and will be taught by the 6th grade. In middle school, children begin to do research projects and might use computers in the classroom and as part of their homework. Keyboarding will be taught along with research skills. Students are not allowed cell phone use during the school day."
},
{
"question": "Will students be accepted at any high school?",
"answer": "– We want our graduates to be prepared for high school and for life as a teenager! We are familiar with the requirements for acceptance at both public and private schools and will work with families by 7th grade to help guide the process as necessary. We begin providing more formal letter grades and report card format in 7th and 8th grades to support the high school application process. For those interested in private high school, we know students will want to start thinking about the SSAT by spring of 7th grade, and can be a resource for that process as well."
},
{
"question": "Would middle school years spent at your school, although fun and engaging, get a child ready for high school?",
"answer": "– Yes. We expect our students to be prepared academically, and also socially/emotionally. We hope students have confidence and creativity and resourcefulness that will support their high school years. We spend the time necessary to develop the mindset, skill-set and internal architecture for our students to thrive! At Caulbridge, we believe fun is not just a luxury. The latest neuroscience tells us that the brain is at optimal capacity for learning when children are engaged and relaxed. This happens with interesting, relevant lessons in a safe and supportive environment. If the nervous system is stressed or the senses are over-stimulated by the environment, the brain is less able to process information or learning."

"question": "I would like to thin and transplant some purple coneflowers that I have I'm in York Maine Should I wait until the spring time to do this?",
"answer": "Purple coneflower or Echinacea in the Asteraceae family of plants, can be divided in spring or fall; also by seed as soon as ripe (stratification is required). Divide every three to five years. During growth, cut back stems to base as blooms fade to encourage further flower production, or leave seedheads on for winter interest. They will occasionally self-sow. Generally they are short-lived even in the best conditions and worth replacing shortly after they pass. They are valed as a cut flower. the central cone (disk) is also used in fresh and dried arrangements and can be left standing over winter for the birds. The dried root is used in modern herbal medicines, skin creams, and shampoos."

{
"question": "How Are Progressive Quaker Beliefs Different?",
"answer": "Some of the differences are not about “beliefs”, but about the ways the two groups do things. At the evangelical church I call New Covenant Temple, there are pastors and big gatherings with lots of music, and videos and talk and noise. In one sense this is just a difference of style: a Quaker could believe almost the same things about God, the Bible and Jesus as someone from New Covenant Temple, but prefer to express them in a silent meeting rather than a noisy one with a pastor. Q."
},
{
"question": "And Why Do Progressive Quakers Dislike Them?",
"answer": "And anyway, over time our understanding of God and the spirit changes (we hope it gets better). But creeds don’t — although in actual church history many have in fact been revised from time to time."
},
{
"question": "Or can (as some of our critics say) you believe anything, or nothing, and still be a Progressive Quaker?",
"answer": "These are good questions, with no easy answers. And doing without a creed has a lot to do with why many young people have been raised among Liberal and Progressive Quakers without having had much (if any) clear teaching about all this."
},
{
"question": "Doesn’t that convey a message that there’s hardly enough to it even to be learned?",
"answer": "This is a paradox, a situation that seems to contradict itself. And paradoxes usually don’t get “resolved”; at best, one learns to live with and manage them. But if it’s any consolation, a lot about other religions involves paradoxes too. Take this whole series, and the book on which it’s based: I’m setting out to “teach” about Progressive Quakerism and how its beliefs are similar to or different from those of a typical evangelical church I call New Covenant Temple. Yet what is said here, while I believe it, and believe many other Progressive Quakers believe it, is not based on a “creed,” an official statement of beliefs that everyone has agreed to. Q."
},
{
"question": "Is The “Sense Of The Meeting” A Quaker Substitute For A Creed?",
"answer": "Part of the way to manage this no-creed paradox is the Quaker idea of the “sense of the meeting,” or as it’s sometimes called, consensus. In most Liberal or Progressive Quaker groups, many people agree on enough beliefs at a given point in time that they can worship and work together. That would be a “sense” or consensus. Most Progressive/Liberal Quakers today agree that they want their worship to be based on silence, conducted by the Spirit rather than leaders like pastors. The “sense of the meeting” is that they can listen for God better in quiet waiting. They also agree that in business meetings they will make decisions without taking votes; here they write down the “sense of the meeting” on concrete decisions, and reach this usually (but not always) by unanimous consent. These Friends know this decision making method can take longer; but they believe it gets them closer to what God (or whatever they call it) wants the group to do. And the patience (or endurance) involved can also be a valuable spiritual discipline. The “sense of the meeting” also takes the form of what Quakers call “Testimonies.” You’ve likely heard about some of these (most likely peace and equality). They represent pieces of the “sense/consensus” that are ongoing actions or priorities, which are supposed to be of concern to all the members of the group that formulated them. In the early Quaker Books of Discipline, testimonies were regarded as more or less equivalent to divine revelations to the group. And their character, number and content differed quite a bit from those that are popular today. I find this history and evolution fascinating (and sometimes, frankly, a bit ridiculous); but I’m resisting the temptation to go into all that, because it too would need another book (or several) to explore adequately. Anyway, one of the other things Progressive Quakers usually agree on is that they don’t have to agree on everything, and that they want, if possible, to avoid fighting about the things they disagree on. Of course, that can be easier said than done. Sometimes the consensus among Progressive Quakers breaks down. And like many other churches, we have had disagreements that become conflicts; we’re only human. But for the most part, our meetings are able to keep going like other churches, having our worship, doing our business, and solving our problems. That is to say, our consensus works well enough. Soon we’ll go back to the New Covenant Temple’s creedal statements from the Web, and see what they look like from a Quaker perspective. It’s time to talk about that, because there’s more to Progressive Quakerism than just not having a creed."

},
{

"answer": "eBay reserves the right to change the base earn percentage up or down. From time to time, eBay may offer special promotions, including bonus offers and selling offers, that would provide members with extra eBay Bucks or an additional earn percentage in addition to the base earn percentage for qualifying purchases during the promotion period. If your purchase qualifies for multiple promotions, you will automatically earn credit for the highest value promotional offer."

},
{
"question": "Are there any limitations on how many eBay Bucks I can earn?",
"answer": "You can earn up to $100 in eBay Bucks on any single eBay purchase. This means that if the eBay Bucks earn percentage is 1% and the purchase price (excluding tax, shipping fees) is in excess of $10,000, you would be restricted from earning any more eBay Bucks for that purchase beyond the $100 eBay Bucks purchase earn limit. You can earn up to $500 in eBay Bucks for all qualifying purchases during a given calendar quarter. This means that if the eBay Bucks earn percentage is 1% and the total value of qualifying purchases exceeds $50,000 during a given calendar quarter, you would be restricted from accumulating any more eBay Bucks beyond the $500 eBay Bucks quarterly earn limit."
},
{
"question": "When can I earn and redeem my eBay Bucks?",
"answer": "You can earn eBay Bucks throughout each calendar quarter. For example, you can earn eBay Bucks from January 1 through March 31.

"answer": "Go to My eBay and click \"eBay Bucks\" under the \"Buy\" heading in the left-hand menu bar to see your qualifying purchase activity and balance or click here."
},
{
"question": "Why does my eBay Bucks account show a negative balance?",
"answer": "You likely returned an item after you spent the eBay Bucks Certificate that you earned for it. This often happens when you purchase an item in one quarter, spend the eBay Bucks Certificate you earned for buying that item, and then returned that item. Any future purchases will be offset against that negative balance as you continue to earn eBay Bucks."
},
{
"question": "Why does my eBay Bucks show $0.00?",
"answer": "At the beginning of each calendar quarter, your eBay Bucks amount listed in the left navigation bar on the My eBay page will reset to $0.00.

You can check to see if the Certificate has been issued by scrolling down to the Activity section on the eBay Bucks page under My eBay."
},
{
"question": "Why does My eBay show less eBay Bucks than I expected?",
"answer": "The eBay Bucks page in My eBay shows your activity for the current quarter, and the eBay Bucks you've earned on purchases. If your purchase has not posted here yet, please wait 48 hours for it to clear. In the rare event that your purchase still doesn't post here after 48 hours, please contact Customer Service.

Click that link to learn more about the reason for the restriction. You should also know that from time to time, purchases may be subject to review, so what first appears as a \"$0.00\" earning could turn into the earn amount you expected.

If the return occurred in the next earn period, you may even start off with a negative balance."
},
{
"question": "When will I get my eBay Bucks Certificate?",
"answer": "If you earn eBay Bucks in a calendar quarter, you will get your eBay Bucks Certificate approximately 3–15 days after the end of the quarterly earn period.

},
{
"question": "Are my listings eligible for eBay Bucks?",
"answer": "You don't have to do anything. eBay Bucks members will see the eBay Bucks offer as long as a seller's item qualifies for eBay Bucks.

To have your eyelash extensions always looking their best, fills are recommended every 3 weeks from the initial application. Semi-permanent eyelash extensions are wonderful because they are completely low-maintenance. You cannot get the eyelash extensions wet for 24 hours after they are applied. You cannot use any oil-based makeup removers or products on the lashes or around the eyes. And should you decide to use mascara, only water-based mascara can be used on these eyelashes. The best care for these lashes is to just keep the eye area clean, which is why they are so great – you will revel in the time it saves you in the morning when you pop out of bed looking bright-eyed as though your mascara and eye makeup are already done! YES! After 24 hours you can go swimming with your extensions, work out, still enjoy your steam rooms, and normal everyday activity. NO! The application is a very comfortable and relaxing process. Yes, we customize a look that is perfect for you! We have a variety of eyelash extension lengths that range from 7mm to 16mm. You can also select the thicknesses of your extensions (0,06mm, 0.07mm, 0.1mm, 0.12mm, or 0.15mm), as well as, the type of curl (B, C, CC, D, or L). Yes! We offer pink, blue, green, purple, violet, orange, and brown lashes! It’s a lifting technique designed to give you longer-looking lashes without the need for lash extensions. It will look as if you used a really good eyelash curler, only this lift lasts for 6 to 12 weeks! To top off this treatment, the procedure takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. It’s an easy way to instantly brighten and open up the eye area! Lash extensions and lash lifts are 2 totally different treatments. We will not be adding any additional lashes. We will simply be curling your natural lashes. That said, for most, it can make your lashes appear fuller because they are so uplifted. Pretty simple: Do not apply oil-based products to the lashes for the first 24 hours. None at all! You don’t have to do anything special with your lashes in between lifts. Of course! You’ll just achieve a more dramatic effect when mascara is applied to your curled lashes. Some of the lash perms of years past use tiny little rods that produce a way too inverted curl. Others, use a type of lash curler/clamp which can be uncomfortable and difficult to work with. The methods I employ use silicon domed shields that lift the lashes from the root, producing a beautiful, uplifted look as if you used a high-end eyelash curler. I have found, on occasion, that it’s very difficult and sometimes not possible to sustain the curl with lashes that have a strong cowlick or slanted growth pattern. Also, growth patterns due to plastic surgery in the eye area are often not able to be corrected. I say, give the treatment a shot once, and let’s see how your lashes hold the curl. 12. I USE LATISSE®."
},
{
"question": "CAN I GET THIS TREATMENT ?",
"answer": "Yes. Some of the most dramatic results I’ve achieved have been from clients using Latisse®. Clients who use this product typically have long lashes. Depending on the length and quality of your natural lashes, the lift can last for up to 8 weeks. Most of the time, yes. Even though it can be challenging if the lashes aren’t even long enough to bring up and back on to the shield - I say, give it a shot once and see how you do! 18."

"question": "I RECENTLY HAD LASIK SURGERY, CAN I HAVE THIS PROCEDURE?",
"answer": "Eyebrow microblading is known by several names, including microstroking, micropigmentation, eyebrow embroidery, eyebrow feathering, and 3D eyebrows. Although the names differ, the procedure is the same. Microblading fills in sparse areas of your natural brow, which is performed by using a fine blade to deposit pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. Resulting in a natural, gracefully falling hair stroke. Microblading is not permanent. The results from microblading have semi-permanent qualities for two reasons. First, the pigment used for microblading has an iron oxide base rather than a carbon base that is used for permanent cosmetics. Second, microblading pigment is not implanted into the skin as deep when compared to permanent cosmetic procedures. Microblading tends to fade gradually over time, so a touch up is recommended 12-18 months after the initial microblading; which keeps the color of each microstroke looking vibrant. It’s important to know, even though the color gradually gets lighter, it will not fade into shades of blue or pink like the fading that occurs with permanent cosmetics. The healed results of microblading can last up to six months, and even three years for some. The variation in time is determined by lifestyle, sun exposure, and skin type. Someone with an oilier skin type tends to experience results that fade quicker compared to someone with a drier skin type. The average microblading appointment lasts two hours. Nothing is ever rushed during your microblading appointment because the results are a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo that stays on your face for an extended period of time. We insist on being thorough and taking the time to provide the most beautiful, natural looking brows possible. We take pride in creating extremely natural looking eyebrows. Natural looking results are made possible by mastering three key elements of microblading; which include brow shaping, color theory, and a microstroking technique. Feel free to review some of our before and after pictures in the gallery. The color will appear darker through the first week or so. This is because the pigment takes around seven days to enter the deeper layers of the skin. After seven to ten days, exfoliation takes place. The top layer of the skin peels off, leaving a softer, lighter color below. The result leaves you with softer and more natural lines. As the treated area continues to heal, itching may occur. Itching is a good sign as it means the skin is healing. The complete healing process for microbladed eyebrows typically takes six weeks and then a touch-up appointment follows. The touch up appointment is scheduled during the initial microblading appointment for six to ten weeks later. Microblading results create amazing looking eyebrows, however, the procedure is not recommended for everyone. To prevent any complications related to your overall well being, please review the suggestions/requirements and contraindications below. ***Appointments typically last 2 hours; babies or children cannot be present during your appointment, so please make the necessary arrangements in advance. 10."
},
{
"question": "WHAT ARE THE SUGGESTIONS / REQUIREMENTS BEFORE EYEBROW MICROBLADING?",
"answer": "No Botox treatments should be done touch-up weeks prior or 4 weeks after procedure. No chemical peels 60 days before or after procedure (brows will peel quicker due to chemicals traveling under the skin) No Retinols/Retin-A or other anti-aging/acne creams, or serums containing acids as these will fade brows prematurely. Do not work out or sweat heavily the day of the procedure or 2 weeks after. Do not tan or have a sunburned face the day of the procedure. Do not take aspirin, niacin, vitamin E, or ibuprofen 48 hours before procedure. No waxing or tinting touch-up days before procedure. No alcohol or caffeine 24 hours procedure. Had Botox within 3 weeks from scheduled appointment."

"question": "How is cassava flour produced?",
"answer": "The cassava flour is a granular product processed with the special technology and equipment of the fresh cassava root. This processing technology makes the product greatly guarantee the integrity of the cell structure and make the free flour very few, thus ensuring the original flavor of the cassava flour. In order to know the secret of how is cassava flour produced, our company has been researching the producing for many years. The first step is cleaning and washing, dry sieve can remove dirt, sand and small stones. According to the multi-screw operation, the blade cleaning machine can remove the sediment and impurities on the surface of cassava. At the same time, the outer skin of cassava can be simply disposed of. Also can be performed manually. The section is the very beginning step how is cassava flour produced. The second step of how is cassava flour produced is peeling , the main part of the cassava peeling machine (click to see the peeling video)is a peeling chamber. To remove the skin of cassava and reduce the difficulty of grinding, peeling is the first operation of the cassava tuber harvesting and cleaning. Depending on the user's different processing characteristics, different models can be provided to meet your needs. Our machine is stainless steel body structure with high quality. The third step is crushing and milling：cassava flour crusher is a device which use high speed rotating knife to break raw material into mush. Large crushing capacity, strong production capacity, uniform product size, low energy consumption, simple structure, light weight, convenient operation and maintenance, high toughness. All the above is the advantage of the crusher. The fourth step is slurry de-sanding and de-watering: cassava slurry is pumped into the cyclone de-sanding machine. The impurities will be separated and collected into a container discharging. Then cassava slurry is pumped into press de-watering machine to remove excess water to get the wet cassava mash. The fifth step is pressing, plate and frame filter press is dewatering machine which utilize pressure to remove the liquid from a liquid-solid slurry. A plate and frame filter press is the most fundamental design, this type of filter press consists of many plates and frames assembled alternately with the supports of a pair of rails. When the separating chamber is full, the filtration process is stopped as the optimum pressure difference is reached. The solids remain in the void between the plates, until the plates discharge the filtered solids. The machine is a main step of how is cassava flour produced. The sixth step is drying, flash dryer is the last step of making cassava flour. According negative system, the product can be dried completely. The thesis of the article: how is cassava flour produced, and the market demand of cassava flour is considerable, and the large production enterprises of cassava flour in African countries are few and far between. The future development of cassava flour production can be imagined. We can offer best service and professional group when the businessman is looking for the answer of how is cassava flour produced."

"answer": "There are several ways people get health insurance, but if you need purchase private health insurance finding quotes is pretty easy. There are websites and companies dedicated to helping you find the right health insurance policy. The best option for finding an insurance quote will depend on which option you feel most comfortable. Put your ZIP code into the FREE search tool to find health insurance quotes now! There are two types of health insurance comparison websites available. One sells insurance products directly. The other type is websites that offer comparisons of several different insurance companies and policies. Other options include health insurance agents and brokers. Both of them allow you to sit down with a live person to discuss health insurance needs and buy a policy. Your health insurance broker will not work the same way as an agent. Make sure you understand what they do and how they work before choosing one."
},
{
"question": "Should I buy private health insurance online?",
"answer": "While you want to buy insurance from a reputable company how you go about finding them is up to you. Sometimes people know exactly what company they want to use. They may have used them in the past or have been recommended by a family member or friend. If this is the case you can go directly to that company and purchase a plan. If you are like most people you are not sure what type of policy you want or company to purchase from. In this case you might be better served using a comparison site. A health insurance comparison saves money. These websites take your basic information and compile quotes from several participating companies. Different websites may offer different health insurance companies to look at. This is because a company must choose to be featured on a particular website. The comparison sites also only take basic information for a quote. Once you choose a policy you like you will be redirected to the health insurance company’s website. Shopping for insurance on a comparison website is not a good idea if you do not understand what you need. You will also need to understand how to compare policies and costs."
},
{
"question": "How do I compare private health insurance quotes?",
"answer": "When you are searching for private health insurance online there are a few tips to make it easier. Preparation will not only save you time but money as well. Choosing the wrong policy can be a costly mistake. You will waste money on premiums and possibly services that are not covered. The first tip recommended by U.S News is to make a list of coverage you must have. Spend some time researching basic terminology so you know what to look for. The National Health Insurance Underwriters offers a great glossary of common terms. Things to think about on this list are not only services you need now but services you may need in the near future. Consider if you are willing to switch doctors or does your current provider accept that company. See if they will cover your dependents. Cost comparison is also important. Premiums can often be misleading. They are only part of the picture. The California Department of Insurance offers a great cost comparison tool. You can use it no matter what state you are in and it is free to download."
},
{
"question": "Can an agent or broker help me?",
"answer": "Agents and brokers are also great options for finding the best private health insurance policy. They can not only give you multiple quotes but help you assess your needs and explain the different coverage options available. When choosing one make sure they are licensed by your state. The California Department of Insurance explains that agents serve as a go between for the customer and the insurance company they work for. A broker works independently for the customer and can access several different companies. Another big difference between the two is how they are paid. Agents work for a specific insurance company and receive their pay or commission from them. Brokers charge a fee for their services. This fee will be collected from you up front. They may also receive a commission from the company you chose to buy a policy from. While brokers can receive a commission they are ethically bonded to serve the customer. They cannot sell you a policy you do not need or upsell supplemental products just to boost their commission. Your state’s Department of Insurance or licensing board can provide you with a list of brokers in your area. Put your ZIP code into the FREE search tool to find health insurance in your area!"

Low quality score used in the settings. Therefore variants with low quality might be listed as well. Possible pseudogene issues. In order to avoid these problems for small panels please make sure that a homology search has been done for all the corresponding ROIs (ROI [master file]). For big panels please activate option \"Genome mapping\" in the settings of your run. The quality score used by SEQNEXT is the phred score called by the sequencer for each single base position of a read. Based on the run settings, the user can decide, what is the minimum phred score still accepted as good quality. Bases in a reads with a quality score below this value will be ignored.

"question": "How are G and P suffixes calculated in SEQUENCE PILOT?",
"answer": "The G and P suffixes are used to simplify the results in operation Sequence dialogue Result. By default SEQUENCE PILOT calculates the G and P suffixes automatically. “G” stands for alleles which share identical nucleotide sequences for the exons encoding the peptide binding domain exon 2 and 3 for HLA class I and exon 2 only for HLA class II alleles have to be identical in nucleotide sequence, then a G Suffix is generated. “P” stands for alleles, which encode for identical peptide binding domains: exon 2 and 3 for HLA class I and exon 2 only for HLA class II alleles have to be identical in protein sequence, then a P Suffix is generated. Alternatively files from IMGT can be downloaded where all G- and P-Groups are defined. In case you use this option, you have to update the files regularly. The reporting of ambiguous HLA allele typing only works, if you use maximum resolution."
},
{
"question": "How can I use the G and P suffixes from IMGT files instead of the calculated ones from SEQUENCE PILOT?",
"answer": "Files from IMGT can be downloaded where all G- and P-Groups are defined. In case you use this option, you have to update the files regularly (with every database update). Download the files hla nom g.txt and hla nom p.txt. Save the files in the folder of the respective database in folder Settings\\HLANom of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation (e.g. the files for HLA DB 3.31 must be saved in folder Settings\\HLANom\\3.24.0). Open the lis.ini file, located in SeqPilot\\bin your SEQUENCE PILOT installation with a text editor. Go to section [SeqPilot] and deposit the entry HLANomFileAllele=yes in a new line. After restarting SEQUENCE PILOT the G and P suffixes for all newly started runs will be used from this file."
},
{
"question": "How can I inactivate G and P suffixes?",
"answer": "In case you do not want to use G and P suffixes at all, enter the new line Enter ReportAmbigousAllele=no in the section [SeqNextHLA] of your in the lis.ini file, located in the SeqPilot\\bin of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation."
},
{
"question": "Where can I find the result?",
"answer": "In operation Sequence, section Result. Here the result, calculated for the selected gene in the dialogue part Genes is listed. The first line shows, whether it is a heterozygous or a hemizygous result and on which haplotypes the result calculation is based on. The second line shows the ambiguities, that is all found allele combinations. G and P suffixes are used automatically. The last line shows, which HLA database version was used for the result calculation. Optionally the result can be listed as NMDP code. If there are still mismatches to an allele there will be the entry “no results possible”. In that case you have to check the mismatching positions in the electropherogram. When all mismatches are removed the result will appear automatically."
},
{
"question": "What does the Matching table display?",
"answer": "This table shows all possible hemizygous results/allele combinations, sorted by their probability. If you select an entry within this table it is highlighted green. This allele or allele combination is displayed in the electropherogram then. If there are mismatching positions for that allele or allele combination, the affected result files are displayed automatically and the cursor is positioned to the first mismatch. All allele combinations with no mismatches are listed as result in section Result."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible to set a preferred result in case ambiguities are present?",
"answer": "Yes, this is possible in the Matching table, using the context menu item prefer alleles."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible to compare the sequences of my resulting allele sequences?",
"answer": "Yes, this is possible in the Matching table using the context menu item show differences…."
},
{
"question": "Can new alleles be called as well?",
"answer": "Yes, if a new allele is present one mismatch remains to all known allele combinations from the IMGT HLA database. The new allele can be set manually in operation Sequence section Genes using the context menu new allele…. Afterwards the result “new allele most similar to…” is shown in section Result."
},
{
"question": "How can I export the results?",
"answer": "The results shown in the Results window in operation Sequence can be exported as txt file. Therefore, please use the context menu export / result... in section Genes. Moreover a report can be printed or saved as pdf. Therefore use the button [Print] in dialogue part Functions. Results can also be exported automatically to any LIMS systems after analysis, with our TALKMASTER interface."
},
{
"question": "Which files can be analysed?",
"answer": "Fastq and fastq.gz files from all common sequencing platforms from Illumina, IonTorrent, MinION and PacBio can be analysed."
},
{
"question": "Which one time procedures need to be set up before I can start analysis?",
"answer": "The HLA database needs to be installed and ROIs need to be defined in operation ROI [master file]."
},
{
"question": "How can I deposit the DNA number in the file name?",
"answer": "By default all signs in the file name before the first \"_\" are used as DNA number. In case this is not the DNA number of your file name, please contact our SEQUENCE PILOT support team. We can adapt our software, so that the DNA number is read correctly."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible to automatically start a Run?",
"answer": "Yes, with the Autorun option. For further details, please contact our SEQUENCE PILOT support team."
},
{
"question": "How can I make analysis faster?",
"answer": "Switch off Second Alignment: The analysis will be faster, by adding the entry SecondLevelCalcAlignmentScore=no in the file lis.ini (SeqPilot\\bin of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation) in section [SeqNextHLA]. When this entry is set a second alignment for reads which can be mapped to more than one locus is not done any more. But please note, that this might lead to single reads getting mapped to the wrong locus (especially for loci B/C or DRB pseudogenes) - depending on the allele combinations. Activate muliple processing cores: To make analysis faster multiple processing cores can be used to compute the result files of a run. Several worker processes can be started, which process several files in parallel (in case the Run is started for several files, each worker processes one file). The number of worker processes should be related to the number of cores available on the server / client PC. For further details please contact our SEQUENCE PILOT support team. Load file: For very big files, only part of the reads can be loaded and analysed. This makes analysis much quicker. Here the percentage of reads that should be loaded and used for analysis can be entered. 100% means, that all reads are loaded. Load reads: Here an absolute minimum number of reads that must be loaded can be entered. This setting can overrule the setting Load file mentioned above. In case the percentage value is too low to load the number of reads defined here, more reads are loaded until the number of reads defined. Analysis is slowing down my PC."
},
{
"question": "What can I do?",
"answer": "By default the importer process uses the maximum number of cores. Therefore the computer might be very slow during data analysis, which might be a problem in case other programs are used as well. The number of cores used during import can be restricted with the entry MaxImporterThreadCores=1 in section [SeqNextHLA] the lis.ini file (SeqPilot\\bin of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation). The number behind this entry is the number of cores used for import."
},
{
"question": "Can I load data for the same patient several times?",
"answer": "This should only be done in case the fastq files contain data for different loci. In case you want to load replicates for one patient of the same loci, please contact our SEQUENCE PILOT support team to discuss all possible options."
},
{
"question": "Are introns analysed as well?",
"answer": "Intron sequences are displayed but not used for result calculation. They are only used to exclude known null alleles. I have two possible results listed."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible to exclude one of them?",
"answer": "Yes, phasing can optionally be checked. If possible, allele combinations are then removed from the result based on the phasing. To use this option, please activate the setting \"Check phasing\" on tab Expert Settings."
},
{
"question": "Can I exclude null alleles?",
"answer": "For result calculation null alleles which show mismatches/insertions/deletion in the introns are called or excluded as result automatically. This function is active by default, but it can be switched off. To switch it off the setting \"Check null allele intron\" on tab Expert Settings has to be deactivated. By default 3 field resolution (maximum resolution) is used. In case another resolution should always be used (2 field = 4 digits or 1 field= 2 digits), this can be set in the lis.ini file, located in folder SeqPilot\\bin of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation. To change to 2 digits or 4 digits, please make the entry DefaultResolution=2 digits or DefaultResolution=4 digits in section [SeqNextHLA]. For already analysed files open the patient sample in operation Sequence, right click a locus in section Genes and select item change resolution and positions… from the context menu."
},
{
"question": "What can I do in case background is present for one or several loci?",
"answer": "It needs to be checked to which locus the background belongs to. In case it belongs to a locus which is not set up as ROI (e.g. locus E, G, Y…), ROIs for this locus need to be set up in ROI [master file] and included in the corresponding ROI group (ROI Group [master file]). In case you do not want to call results for these ROIs, you can set them to analysis mode “only mapping” in ROI [master file]. A result is called but mismatches are shown for the locus."
},
{
"question": "What does this mean?",
"answer": "A result is always called as soon as there are no mismatches in exon areas. In intron areas mismatches are not regarded for result calculation. In operation Sequence allele sequences from the IMGT HLA database are marked blue instead of green."
},
{
"question": "What does this mean?",
"answer": "In case an intron sequence is unknown for a haplotype, it is checked if the intron sequence of another group member is known. If yes, the sequence of the group member is listed. The haplotype sequence for the intron is then marked blue instead of green. You can see which allele the intron sequence belongs to when you move your mouse to the blue intron sequence (tool tip). This feature can be switched off using the entry Show2DigitsIntronAlleles=no in section [SeqPilot] of the lis.ini file (SeqPilot\\bin of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation). If no, no intron sequence is shown. In operation Sequence the number in front of the read sequences can be highlighted in different colors. Moreover a * can be in front."
},
{
"question": "What does this mean?",
"answer": "Identical reads are listed only once. The copy number is listed in front of each read. Moreover all reads that have a perfect match to an allele can optionally be marked with a * in front of the number. The * and the copy number in front of each read can be colored. Identical colors for two or more reads mean, that the reads have a perfect match to the same allele(s) (context menu item \"show alleles lists identical matches\"). Please note, that black is not regarded as a color. Black */copy numbers mean that no other reads with the same perfect matches are present."
},
{
"question": "Can I get a quick overview about coverages?",
"answer": "Yes, therefore please press the button [Summary] in operation Sequence. The table can be exported as txt-file using the corresponding context menu item. In case you do not want to use G and P suffixes at all, enter the new line Enter ReportAmbigousAllele=no in the section [SeqPilot] of your in the lis.ini file, located in the SeqPilot\\bin of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation."
},
{
"question": "How can I load ProtransKits?",
"answer": "Under Download/SEQHLA - ProtransKits of this website you can find an installation file including pre-defined amplification modules and sequencing primers for ProtransKits. Files from ABI sequencers should have the extension .ab1 and files from Beckman sequencers .scf. If you use sequencers from other manufacturers like MegaBase, please contact our SEQUENCE PILOT support team."
},
{
"question": "Why did the import of the result files stopp (button Seq in the lower right of the screen stays red)?",
"answer": "that the formate of the result files is correct (ab1 or scf). Intron sequences are displayed but not used for result calculation. Null alleles showing base changes in intron areas are not called or excluded automatically. But the intron areas are displayed in SEQHLA. Moreover in case a splice site mutation is present, there will be the warning X present in column Warnings, in table Positions / Resultfiles in operation Sequence. Therefore the user can check the intronic positions and set or exclude certain null alleles in the Matching table manually using context menu item \"exclude alleles...\". In case another resolution should always be used (2 field = 4 digits or 1 field= 2 digits), this can be set in the lis.ini file, located in folder SeqPilot\\bin of your SEQUENCE PILOT installation. To change to 2 digits or 4 digits, please make the entry DefaultResolution=2 digits or DefaultResolution=4 digits in section [SEQPILOT]. Select the procedure in field Name. Furthermore all constant positions, that is all positions in the consensus sequence, which show an A, C, G or T, can be ignored here as well, by checking the corresponding setting. In operation Sequence they are highlighted grey then. These bases can be edited, but done changes don't effect the entries of the Matching table."

{
"question": "What are the must-visit shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur?",
"answer": "Kuala Lumpur has numerous shopping malls. Tourists may find it difficult to decide which of them are absolute must-visits and which are the ones that can easily be skipped during their stay in Kuala Lumpur. First off; if you are visiting Kuala Lumpur with the sole purpose of going on a serious shopping spree you should know that there is actually only one place to stay and that is in a hotel around Bukit Bintang. Most of the malls in our top10 are located in this area. Luckily many of the popular 5-star hotels are located in this area, so it should be easy to find proper accommodation. But also budget travelers are able to find accommodation that suits their budget; as there are many guesthouses located in the Changkat Bukit Bintang area (only a 5/10 minute walk from all major shopping malls). In our list we took multiple factors into account. Not all malls are perhaps interesting for every type of shopper. Some of the great malls are located well outside of Kuala Lumpur, perhaps still very much worth a visit to some, for others probably not worth the hassle. Our personal favorite by far is Pavilion KL. Pavilion was opened in 2007 and has been an instant hit since then. Pavilion offers many nice shops, and caters to the more general type of shopper. There are many luxurious shops, but also enough regular shops. Pavilion has a great food court but also many restaurants and (coffee) bars. Definitely the place to be (visit) for tourists. Suria KLCC has been one of the most popular tourist malls for ages. Locals always call it a tourist mall, but still many tens of thousands come to this mall every weekend to relax and hang out. Tourists may find many shops offer different products that at other malls, Suria KLCC has many shops that sell familiar international brands (and is also know for carrying western sizes). Lot10 is perhaps the most centrally located mall in Kuala Lumpur, right along Jalan Bukit Bintang. It has quite a few nice shops and also a National Geographer Flagship Store. In the basement you can find Hutong, a wonderful food court with mainly Chinese hawkers. Lot10 lies conveniently between numerous other popular malls in Bukit Bintang. If you enter this area by Monorail then the station to embark is right next to Lot10. Fahrenheit88 is a modern mall near opposite of Pavilion KL. It used to be known as KL Plaza, but the new owner wanted to rename the mall after a huge renovation. Fahrenheit88 has some very nice stores. At the top floor you find Signature IT, a huge IT department store. Fahrenheit88 became one of the places to be among locals because of the huge Uniqlo clothing shop that occupies a few floors. Though pretty far away from Kuala Lumpur City Center, 1Utama is a not to be missed shopping mall. After the huge renovation it again it a wonderful place to shop for all kinds of products (and also one of the biggest). There is also a huge Foodrepublic food court, where you can try many local dishes. 1Utama is not really popular among tourists because of the distance from most of the tourist hotels; still it is very much worth a visit. Sunway Pyramid is extremely popular among locals that live outside of Kuala Lumpur. It could very well be the most popular mall in Malaysia when looking at absolute amount of monthly visitors. Sunway is more than a shopping mall; it is a huge entertainment complex with numerous bars, restaurants, hundreds of shops, hotels, resorts and even a huge amusement park (and water park). Those that travel with children will probably do them a huge favor by visiting Sunway Pyramid. The Curve is neither the biggest nor the most popular mall in Kuala Lumpur. It is also located pretty far out of the city center. Still it is a nice place to visit. Besides the mall there are many bars and restaurants. Opposite the Curve is Ikano Power Center, where you can find a few flagship stores of popular local and foreign brands. The Curve is especially popular among the local expat community. Last in our list is Berjaya Times Square; the biggest shopping mall in Malaysia. It has well over 600 shops, ranging from huge stores at the lower levels to numerous small shops at the higher levels. There is even an indoor roller coaster inside this shopping, which makes it the perfect mall to visit if you are traveling with children. Berjaya Times Square is also located within the Bukit Bintang area; at a 10 minutes’ walk from Lot10 or Lowyat Plaza. Malls that didn’t make it into our top10 are still very much worth a visit, especially the ones within the Golden Triangle (Bukit Bintang area and KLCC area). Below we listed a few other shopping malls and explained the main reasons you might have for visiting them. 11. Starhill Gallery: probably the most exclusive and luxurious mall in Kuala Lumpur. 12. Sungei Wang & BB Plaza: together the most popular local malls in Kuala Lumpur. 13. AvenueK: modern but small shopping center opposite of Suria KLCC. 14. Pertama Complex: the best mall to buy sports products. 15. Bangsar Village Shopping Mall: very popular expat mall in one of the biggest expat enclaves. 16. IMBA Plaza: the best (or worst) place to buy pirated dvd’s, software and other media. 17. Great Eastern Mall: biggest mall in the Ampang area. Especially popular among expats. 18. Tropicana Mall: popular ‘family mall’. Many furniture and children stores. 19. Plaza Mont Kiara: modern mall catering to expats that live in the Mt. Kiara area. 20. Bangsar Shopping Center: most popular expat mall in the Bangsar area. Best place to buy products like cheese, bread and other typical western products. 21. Publika: Expatriate mall in the Mt. Kiara area."

"question": "Can I visit Malaysia during Ramadan?",
"answer": "I’d say Lowyat but only if you are either local or speaking Bahasa. If you are a foreigner, forget getting good prices at Lowyat. I do not agree. I got my mobile for the local price from the branded saler without any problem! KL has the most shopping mall in Malaysia and more and more such malls are cropping up and eventually the whole of kl will be a mall heaven. It probably is a shopping haven already, Malaysian can just stay in a shopping mall for just 24 hours and won’t have a problem with it. Just wish that the mall could open 24 HOURS…. Australian malls often close at evening and everybody goes to bed early. That’s what I love about Malaysia. Fantastic place and nice people too. We Australians like the great outdoors and you fellow Malaysians probably love the air-conds and big buildings…. Of course you guys have the ‘mamak’ stores and boy do they open almost everyday……."

"question": "Will it be this year?",
"answer": "I love your list, my personal favorite is Setia City Mall. Yes, it is located at Setia Alam."
},
{
"question": "Is it too far from KL to make the cut?",
"answer": "Hardly a place where many tourists come to shop till they drop I recon…. Hi. thank you for giving me really useful info. Please let me know where i can find. Please suggest best place to bargain and buy Mobiles, Cameras, Laptops & other electronic stuffs ! ! Thanks. If you are living in Malaysia, I would recommend checking out the Trade Zone of the Low Yat forums…..\ngive me shopping mall business hour and website too. Usually not…it’s a bit of an in between period…somewhere around November new sales season starts."

{
"question": "where is the best place for a good body massage in KL??",
"answer": "Hi DJ, allow me to answer on behalf of llya. Depending on which are you stay in KL, the spa and massage option is endless, especially in the city centre area. If you are looking for some budget massages, head to the bukit bintang area. On the other hand, most of the luxurious hotels in the city centre do offers spa and massage package at a more luxurious price. Swasana spa @ Impiana KLCC and Anggun Spa @ Hotel Maya are just some to name. Simon is right; some of the best spas can be found in the more upscale hotels. There are also quite a few places within the expat areas surrounding KL, but these are not that easy to get to if you do not drive a car."
},
{
"question": "i which of the mall in kl closes at 10pm or 11pm?",
"answer": "All malls close at 10pm…malls that have F&B options close at 10pm too, but the F&B outlets stay open later. There are no North Face shops (authentic) in Malaysia. Department stores like Parkson something sells a small selection (I remember at 1Utama and Suria KLCC). North Face mainly focuses on winter clothing; no need for that in Malaysia. There are also a few shops in Singapore (one shop at Novena and one at Marina Square, there may already be more)."
},
{
"question": "is this the official page?",
"answer": "Ilya you seem to know a lot I am not sure if you can answer this for me. I am wanting to purchase handbags, shoes and most importantly looking to purchase Gel nail polish can you tell me where I can get this in KL. We will be visiting in April. I am unfamiliar with Gel Nail Polish. If it’s a standard item, you might find it at Watsons. There is one in every mall. Pavilion has one at the lower basement level. About handbags and such. It depends if you are looking for a great shopping experience, or for a cheap genuine handbag. I am not sure where you are from; but with the famous international brands Malaysia is not always the cheapest place. I know even Malaysians are combining a trip to Europe with buying handbags :). Anyways; best places for luxurious bags and such are Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC and Starhill. A nice place outside KLCC is The Gardens; here you can find luxurious brands too (like LV, Gucci etc). Add “Publika” to your list. It’s a very nice / modern mall located in Mont Kiara. hi."

"answer": "JWB Building and Remodeling is your best choice for residential and commercial renovations. Check out our frequently asked questions and then call 858-382-5964 for a consultation."
},
{
"question": "Do you have a standard pricing system?",
"answer": "Describe a recent project you’re proud of and how long it took to complete."
},
{
"question": "What should customers think about before contacting a contractor?",
"answer": "Our contractor usually spends at least an hour discussing the project and making any suggestions. After the consultation, we put together a scope-of-work document and an itemized price list. Our lead contractor boasts over a decade of experience, having spent eight of those years as a licensed contractor. He can handle a range of jobs, from minor handyman work to whole-home renovations. Pricing is specific to the project and based on the projected man-hours needed to finish the job. Exceptions to this rule include the installation of dishwashers and doors. Our contractor took his first steps into the construction world as a teenager, helping his father build the new family home. He continued his career and eventually opened JWB Building and Remodeling. Anyone involved in the residential construction and repair industry, including homeowners, investors, real estate agents, renters, other general contractors and architects. Last year, JWB Building and Remodeling rehabilitated a two-story multi-family home that was built in the 1920s. Our six-man crew worked for five months to completely replace the deteriorated and hazardous interior. Make sure you and your chosen contractor communicate regularly, and that they are competent in the field. There's a famous quote: \"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after low pricing is forgotten.” Professional craftsman usually don’t compete based on price and that is reflected in the final product. Know how you want the finished remodel to look, and make sure you communicate that to the contractor effectively. If using multiple contractors, make sure each one is provided with the same scope-of-work document. Also, don’t forget: you’ll need to put up with the level of chaos a remodeling and new construction project creates. Whether you want to remodel your home’s basement or add a kitchen to your office, you won’t regret choosing JWB Building and Remodeling. Our lead contractor has worked hard over the years to become your go-to resource for renovations and new construction work."

"question": "If my EHR technology is capable of submitting batch files to an immunization registry using the applicable adopted standards, is that sufficient for demonstrating compliance with the certification criterion specified at 45 CFR 170.302(k) or170.314(f)(2) (adopted as part of the 2011 and 2014 Edition EHR certification criteria, respectively)?",
"answer": "The certification criteria at 45 CFR 170.302(k) and 170.314(f)(2) do not specify, and are not intended to specify, when submissions should be made or the periodicity of the submissions. Consequently, submitting batch files to an immunization registry, provided that they are formatted according to the adopted standards referenced by the certification criteria at 45 CFR 170.302(k) and 170.314(f)(2), is not prohibited by these certification criteria and would be acceptable. I currently use EHR version 1.3 which I purchased from EHR technology developer XYZ. EHR technology developer XYZ has informed me that it is not going to seek certification for EHR version 1.3."
},
{
"question": "Additionally, if EHR version 1.3 becomes certified can anyone else using EHR version 1.3 rely on the certification issued to EHR version 1.3?",
"answer": "I am an EHR technology developer. I have sought and achieved certification for the Complete EHR that I sell. The Complete EHR, however, is also designed to be sold in separate components so that I can offer my customers different prices based on the capabilities they seek to implement."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible for me to sell components of my certified Complete EHR separately as certified EHR Modules, or do I need to seek testing and certification for each of the separate components that I plan to sell as certified EHR Modules?",
"answer": "I submitted a Complete EHR for certification, but it has not passed a test for one or more of the certification criteria."
},
{
"question": "Can I request that the ONC-ATCB or ONC-ACB certify the EHR technology that I submitted as an EHR Module instead (i.e., certify only those capabilities that have been tested successfully)?",
"answer": "My hospital purchased a certified EHR Module that provides approximately 75% of the capabilities we need to meet the definition of Certified EHR Technology. The other 25% are provided by our own self-developed system(s)."
},
{
"question": "As a follow up, do we need to have the combination of the purchased certified EHR Module and our self-developed certified EHR Module tested and certified together as a Complete EHR (above and beyond the certifications they have already been issued)?",
"answer": "Yes, you may seek testing and certification for only those systems that have not been certified as an EHR Module (in this case, the self-developed system), and no, you do not need to have the combination of certified EHR Modules certified again as a Complete EHR in order to meet the definition of Certified EHR Technology."
},
{
"question": "If an EHR Module addresses multiple certification criteria (thus providing multiple capabilities), does it need to be tested and certified to the applicable privacy and security certification criteria as a whole or for each capability?",
"answer": "An EHR Module could provide a single capability required by one certification criterion or it could provide all capabilities but one required by the certification criteria for a Complete EHR. In other words, for example, we would call HIT tested and certified to one certification criterion an \"EHR Module\" and HIT tested and certified to nine certification criteria an \"EHR Module,\" where ten certification criteria are required for a Complete EHR. I'm an EHR technology developer and I've had my Complete EHR certified. I work with business partners/distributors and permit them to sell my (unmodified) certified Complete EHR under their own brand/name/label."
},
{
"question": "Is there anything that I should do or be aware of?",
"answer": "My EHR technology is designed to receive demographic data from a registration system or a practice management system. The data from these other IT systems is then used by my EHR technology to demonstrate compliance with one or more certification criteria."
},
{
"question": "Do these other IT systems that act as data sources to my EHR technology need to be certified?",
"answer": "I’ve identified that I am using two different EHR technologies to meet a single certification criterion (my document management system receives and displays summary records (45 CFR 170.306(f)(1)) and my EHR technology from EHR technology developer XYZ transmits summary records (45 CFR 170.306(f)(2))."
},
{
"question": "How many clinical quality measures (CQMs) must EHR technology be capable of calculating in order to get certified?",
"answer": "I plan to use a “data warehouse” to calculate and submit meaningful use clinical quality measures."
},
{
"question": "Does my data warehouse need to be certified for me to be able to use it to achieve meaningful use?",
"answer": "I’ve selected a certified Complete EHR [or certified EHR Module] from EHR technology developer XYZ. That being said, I prefer the certified CPOE EHR Module designed by EHR technology developer ABC over the CPOE capability included in EHR technology developer XYZ’s Complete EHR."
},
{
"question": "In other words, can I use duplicative or overlapping certified capabilities of different certified EHR technologies without jeopardizing my ability to meaningfully use Certified EHR Technology?",
"answer": "I am an EHR technology developer preparing my EHR technology for certification. I am relying on a 3rd party software program to demonstrate my compliance with a specific certification criterion."
},
{
"question": "Does this 3rd party software program need to be independently certified?",
"answer": "I’ve implemented EHR technology developer XYZ’s certified Complete EHR [or certified EHR Module] “E-HealthSystem” which has been certified to the 2011 Edition EHR certification criteria. The developer indicated that it’s making the necessary development changes and will, in the next year, present “E-HealthSystem” for Complete EHR certification to the 2014 Edition EHR certification criteria. Scenario 1: I determined that E-HealthSystem needed to be reconfigured in order to connect with one of my patient registration systems so I made the necessary adjustments."
},
{
"question": "If necessary, can I also reconfigure, in a similar manner, the next version of E-HealthSystem that will be certified to the 2014 Edition EHR certification criteria without compromising the certified status of my implementation of E-HealthSystem?",
"answer": "Scenario 2: EHR technology developer XYZ communicated to my organization that they relied upon a 3rd party software program “PatientInfoTracker 2.0” for the purposes of demonstrating compliance with the “generate patient lists” certification criterion specified at 45 CFR 170.302(i) in achieving E-HealthSystem’s certification. They’ve also informed me that they will rely on the same 3rd party program to meet the “create patient lists” certification criterion at 45 CFR 170.314(a)(14) as part of their Complete EHR certification to the 2014 Edition EHR certification criteria. I have already implemented, use, and would like to continue using “SuperListGenerator 7.0.” I have determined that I can reconfigure SuperListGenerator 7.0 to work with E-HealthSystem."
},
{
"question": "Can I use SuperListGenerator 7.0 in lieu of PatientInfoTracker 2.0 without compromising the certified status of my implementation of E-HealthSystem now and potentially with the 2014 Edition version?",
"answer": "I use or would like to use an “interface” to submit data to a public health agency/registry."
},
{
"question": "Does this interface need to be certified?",
"answer": "It depends. We recognize that the term “interface” has several different meanings depending on the context in which it is used, the IT infrastructure of which it is a part, and the capability it performs. Consequently, depending on various factors, an interface may or may not need to be certified."

"question": "How can I fix this?",
"answer": "The Flexible Retirement Planner is written in Java and requires your computer to have Java installed. You can get the latest version of Java by following the directions at this link. Go to the windows start menu, then go to Control Panel\\Programs\\Programs and Features\\uninstall a program. In the list of installed programs, click on the name column to sort the list of programs by name. Scroll down to the J’s. and then uninstall any versions of Java present on your system. Once everything is removed, follow the instructions at java.com to install the latest version of java. For problems running the planner on a Mac, check out these tips."
},
{
"question": "Can I configure the retirement planner to work like conventional calculators for comparison purposes?",
"answer": "Yes. Just set the Investing Style to Custom, set the Investment Return manually, then set the Return– Std Dev to 0. Finally, set the Retirement Spending Policy to Stable. This will cause the simulation to behave more like a traditional retirement calculator."
},
{
"question": "Are the dollar amounts that I enter in the retirement planner adjusted for inflation automatically?",
"answer": "The short answer is yes. In general, all dollar values are shown in “today’s value” dollars. For example, suppose you have estimated that annual retirement expenses will be $50,000 per year when you retire (in today’s dollars). Even though you enter $50,000 into the planner for retirement expenses and the detailed output table shows the amount fixed at $50,000 each year, the actual amount of expenses funded each year will be higher due to inflation. Also, the ending portfolio balance is displayed in today’s dollars rather than in inflated future dollars. One case where amounts are not automatically adjusted for inflation is with No COLA cash flow amounts that you can enter on the Additional Inputs window. The No COLA cash flow option lets you enter cash flows that are not adjusted for inflation. In this case the cash flow will lose purchasing power over time. For example, if you create a “Pension Income” entry of $50,000 and specify that it has no COLA, the planner will reduce the purchasing power of that payment by the inflation rate each year. Since all output amounts are shown in today’s value dollars, the income will appear on the Detailed View tab starting as a payment of $50,000. In each year following the first payment, the output will show the payment’s value (in today’s value) slowly decreasing by the inflation rate. Please refer to the Additional Inputs documentation page for more information about planner cash flows and COLAs. I’ve run other planners and I get more favorable results with the same inputs."
},
{
"question": "Why is my probability of success so low?",
"answer": "The answer of course depends on many factors, however, the most often overlooked factor is that the Flexible Retirement Planner models the entire retirement plan through both the accumulation and draw-down phases. Since risk tends to compound over longer periods of time, It is often more difficult to get a high-probability result than with a traditional planner. Another area that can cause different tools to produce different results are the assumptions used for portfolio returns and standard deviation. You can manually set these values to match those used by another planner for comparison purposes by setting the Investing Style to Custom. In other planners and I get less favorable results with the same inputs."
},
{
"question": "Why is my probability of success so high?",
"answer": "In addition to the factors mentioned in the previous answer, higher than expected results can be the result of applying the Flexible or Conservative Spending Policies. If switching the spending policy to Stable causes the results to be more like you expected, you might want to read through the section on this web site about Spending Policies. In other retirement calculators, I only enter my portfolio’s expected return."
},
{
"question": "What does the input Return – Std Dev do?",
"answer": "The Return – Std Dev input (standard deviation of return) is telling the simulator how much variation is expected in the portfolio’s annual return. While the portfolio may return 8% on average, the amount of variation in that 8% from year to year (and in particular the sequencing of annual returns) is a key factor in determining how successful your plan will be. As an experiment, set Investing Style to Custom and choose a value for Return-Avg that you’ve used in other planners. Next, set the Return – Std Dev to zero and run the simulation. Note the results this produces, then increase Return – Std Dev by a percent or two and rerun the simulation. Do this a few times with slight increases to the standard deviation each time and notice how increased portfolio volatility (higher standard deviation) affects your plan. This exercise should demonstrate that risk matters. This is why a portfolio’s risk level or expected volatility, usually expressed as the standard deviation of returns, must be taken into account in financial planning."
},
{
"question": "Why does the stoplight show a yellow or red light when the Ending Balance of my plan is so high?",
"answer": "The stoplight will be green only when the performance of the plan is very strong. The ending portfolio balance that’s shown is the median ending balance taken over all the simulation runs. While on average (50% of the time) you may end with a high balance, successful retirement planning is usually based on much better odds for success, typically 90% or greater."
},
{
"question": "Why does the stoplight show a yellow or red light when the Probability of Success is greater than 90%?",
"answer": "Success is often difficult to define. The stoplight color is determined by two simulation outputs. The first is the Probability of Success, defined as the percent of simulation runs that didn’t run out of money. The second output that’s considered is the percentage of planned retirement spending that gets funded over the course of the plan. The logic behind this is that if you planned on having $75,000 per year, but only got $25,000 (so your nest-egg could be preserved), you won’t be happy with the result. The spending percentage threshold for a green light is 90% or greater. For more about how the spending percentage is determined, see the documentation page on Spending Policies."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible to adjust the spending levels to account for the fact that retirees often spend less later in retirement?",
"answer": "Sure. Just zero out Annual Retirement Spending on the main input section, and click the Additional Inputs button, and enter your retirement spending there. Instead of entering just one value for the whole retirement period, break it into 2 or three values, entering each one as a separate Other Expense cash flow with a given start and end year. Be sure that the start/end years don’t overlap and make sure you check the spending column in the Detailed Output tab after you run the simulation to be sure the planner did what you wanted it to."
},
{
"question": "If my portfolio doesn’t do well in the early years of retirement, I might go back to work, can the planner model that?",
"answer": "It can. Click on the Settings button next to the Additional Inputs button on the top right of the input panel. A window will pop up that has some settings for configuring “back to work” scenarios. You can learn more about this capability by reading about Spending Policies. When I click the Settings button and increase Spending Policy – Minimum Percent of Expenses to Fund, the probability of success for my plan goes way down."
},
{
"question": "Why did this happen?",
"answer": "This planner isn’t like most planners because it tries to be flexible and apply small spending cuts to save the portfolio when things aren’t looking so good. You can turn this off by setting Spending Policy to Stable and the planner will just withdraw the amount you asked for every year (adjusted for inflation). With the Flexible Spending Policy selected, the planner tries to improve portfolio survivability by implementing small incremental spending reductions in years when the plan isn’t going so well. In the output, the “Percent Expenses Funded” value (tracked per year) gives you an idea of how much belt tightening the plan is imposing in order to get the probability of success that’s shown. For example, if under a worst case scenario you’d be willing to cut back and spend only 50% of your target annual expenses (during the worst years), you could set the “Minimum Percent of Expenses to Fund” to 50% (in the settings window). Reducing the spending floor like this is likely to improve the odds of the plan being successful. Conversely, the default spending floor is 75%. If you think a 25% reduction in expenses would be too steep, you could bump that up to 80% or 85%, and see how much that lowers your probability of success. Usually the lower you set the floor, the higher your success rate will be. One caveat on the use of a low floor is that the output shows the MEDIAN value (half of simulation runs had a higher value and half were lower). So just because the simulation doesn’t show any years where you hit the spending floor, you can be nearly certain that in some simulation trials the floor was hit, and that if that was real life you would have had to cut all the way back to the floor. Finally, if you click the Show %of expenses funded check box, just below the graph, you can see the year-by-year effects of the spending policy overlaid on the graph."
},
{
"question": "What does the Spending Multiplier (in the Settings window) do?",
"answer": "In each simulation trial, the program decides year-to-year whether the amount the retiree gets to spend should stay the same, go down, or go up. The decision is based on whether the portfolio is bigger or smaller than it was at retirement start, and based on whether the portfolio went up or down in value since last year. The program implements this by adjusting the “percent of expenses to fund” variable. If things are going badly, the program doesn’t cut the percent of expenses all the way back to the floor right away. Instead, it starts withholding the yearly spending COLA (cost of living adjustment), which will require the retiree to cut spending in the next year by the inflation rate. The multiplier magnifies this effect so that the spending gets cut (or increased) by multiples of inflation rate instead of just by the inflation rate. The result is that a multiplier greater than 1 speeds up the adjustment process and usually causes the floor of simulation to be hit more quickly. (Note that the multiplier is only relevant for the flexible and conservative spending policies). The output from the planner shows that my median percent expenses funded stayed between 90% and 130%, yet I set the minimum for percent to spend to 75%."
},
{
"question": "Why doesn’t the minimum go down to 75%?",
"answer": "The output report and graph shows the median value of the percent of expenses funded. This means you can’t see the handful of really bad trials where the simulation cut spending by 75% and still ran out of money. The likelihood that the median value will show 75% is related to the plan’s probability of success. Plans with a very low probability of success are more likely to show the median spending percent actually hitting the floor. Also, for more detailed data than just a range, make sure you click the Detailed Output tab and look at the year-by-year data (that’s the same data that gets graphed). There’s no Y-axis label for % Expenses Funded on the graph."
},
{
"question": "How can I tell what this means?",
"answer": "If you select that Show yearly inputs check box then click on the graph, the dashed red line will move to where you click, and the details to the right of the graph will update to show the data for the selected year. Doing this will allow you to see the value for % expenses funded. If you click-drag the red bar across the graph, the right hand data will update as you drag. There’s no Y-axis label for the Show Failures line that appears on the graph."
},
{
"question": "How can I tell what this means?",
"answer": "Over the course of the 10,000 simulation runs, when a trial runs out of money before the end of the plan (a failure), the year that the money ran out is recorded. At the end of the simulation, this data is tabulated to determine which years were most likely to be the ones where the money ran out. The graph shows the number of failures that happened in each year. The numbers used for this graph are shown in the last column of the table on the “Detailed View” tab (in parenthesis). The “y scale” for the graph is arbitrary. The scale of the failures line runs from zero to the maximum number of failures in any one year, while typically represents a very small percentage of the 10,000 simulation paths. As an example, say the highest value for “failure count” occurred at age 88. Let’s say it had a value of 66. That means that out of the 10,000 simulation paths, there were 66 times that the plan ran out of money at age 88. In this example, the “failures line” in the graph will show its highest value of 66 at age 88. Some retirement plans have high “infant mortality”, but if they get through the early years, things generally go well. Other times, the withdrawal rate is right on the edge and the more time that goes by, the more likely the plan will fail. This graph can be useful for evaluating these aspects of a plan. This graph can be particularly interesting when income or expenses change dramatically during retirement, like retiring early then starting social security a while later, or downsizing and selling real estate late in retirement. To put this all in context, consider that a plan with a 95% probability of success, would have had a total of 10,000*.05 = 500 simulation paths that ran out of money. The Flexible Retirement Planner says my plan is in pretty good shape."
},
{
"question": "If I try to implement the plan in real life, how do I decide how much I should spend from year-to-year?",
"answer": "This planner is intended to roughly model the behavior that retirees are likely to exhibit in real life in order to produce a more accurate retirement plan. The general idea of the decision rule is that retirees should slowly adjust their spending in response to major swings in the value of their portfolio. As an aside, a serious criticism and concern about tools like The Flexible Retirement Planner is that they instill an unwarranted confidence. Like any planning tool, Monte Carlo based retirement simulations are only as good as the inputs supplied, and unfortunately, it’s impossible for the inputs to be very reliable. There are many unknowns that conspire to reduce the accuracy of even the most well thought out plan. Some examples include unusually bad stock market performance, higher than expected inflation, unexpected healthcare or nursing care expenses. So rather than viewing the output of the tool as a prediction of what will happen, it’s best to view it as support for making short term decisions about what to do over the next few years. Use the tool to guide these decisions, but revisit them often and reevaluate them in light of any new information you have."

"question": "What are the criteria for a quality digital caliper ?",
"answer": "Digital caliper is a versatile measuring tool. It's widely used in workshops or DIY field."
},
{
"question": "How to judge its quality ?",
"answer": "Not every one knows it. Now, follow the following criteria, you'll be able to distinguish between a high-end digital caliper and a low-end digital caliper. The accuracy of electronic digital caliper depends on the accurancy of mechanical parts , electronic module and stator strip sensor. Manufacturing electronic module needs high technology and special precision equipment. There are several manufacturers of electronic modules in China.But only one manufacturer can make electroni module with high accuracy. All low-end electronic digital calipers use electronic modules with low accuracy."
},
{
"question": "How can we know the accuracy of electronic module ?",
"answer": "Just check digital caliper with a set of 9-piece gauge blocks with a step of 0.5mm, such as 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5mm or with a module master (from 5mm to 10mm, the correct way is to set zero while the measuring faces of the digital caliper's lower jaws contact the Module Master at 5mm and then begin to measure in order to avoid the errors of the stator, the measured value should be 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5mm which corresponds to 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10mm of the Module Master), you can easily find out the accuracy of the module. If the accuracy is=0.01mm, it shows the module's accuracy is high. If the accuracy is =0.02mm, it shows the module's accuracy is low. Anyi's specially designed Module Master can check modules fast and easily(see the image below). Check the inside measurement of a digital caliper with gauge block set or step gauge. If the accuracy is =?.02mm (0-100mm) and =?.03mm (>100-300mm), it shows the accuracy accords with the limit of National Standard. Close the measuring faces, hold the caliper between your eyes and the light. Align the light, measuring faces and your eyes. If you can see light from the closed measuring faces, it shows the measuring faces are not lapped well. If you can't see any light from the closed measuring faces, its shows the measuring faces are well lapped . All quality digital calipers have well lapped measuring faces. All low-end digital calipers use stator strip sensor made of copper plating glass-epoxy laminate. Some high-end digital calipers use stator strip sensor made of indium coated glass. Such glass sensor is more reliable than copper plating glass-epoxy laminate sensor and has smaller coefficient of thermal expansion than the latter. Close the jaws and lock the slide slightly with the lock screw, then pull the slide toward the end and see if the slide can move through the whole bar. If the slide can move to the end, it shows the parallelism of the bar is good.If the slide can move only some distance away from the origin, it shows the parallelism of the bar is poor. In this way, you can check the middle or the end of the bar and see if its parellelism is good or not. The parallelism can affect the accuracy of the digital caliper. The five criteria above are enough for you to assess a digital caliper correctly. Other factors are not so important."

"question": "\"What is the best way to stimulate hair growth?",
"answer": "My hair became thin because of medication and I'd like for it to grow back as quickly as possible.\" To get hair growing, start at the root of the problem-literally-and focus on keeping your scalp healthy. Celebrity hairstylist Marcus Francis, who has worked with Kirsten Dunst and Evan Rachel Wood, suggests investing in a treatment like Rene Furterer's Triphasic ($131; beauty.com) to stimulate blood circulation and trigger growth in hair follicles. \"Also, when shampooing, try to massage the scalp instead of just cleansing the hair,\" he added. \"The Carthame Oil shampoo by Rene Furterer ($23; beauty.com) is good for scalp health.\" Francis also suggests taking vitamin supplements like Biotin and Vivascal for assistance in hair growth. \"I recently stopped relaxing my hair, so it's in an in-between phase. What can I do while my natural hair is growing out?\" To go back to your natural ringlets like Solange Knowles, you'll have to give your hair some extra TLC to prevent breakage. \"Since you're growing out the relaxer, you're working with two very different textures. Apply the ultra-hydrating Carol's Daughter Olive Oil Infusion Kit ($25; sephora.com) to hydrate both,\" said Carol's Daughter brand stylist Diane Da Costa. \"Use a cleansing shampoo and deep conditioner weekly until the breakage stops, and try different braided styles, flat-twist sets, and twist-out styles to assist you through the transitioning period.\" \"How can I create soft, textured waves like Christina Aguilera on The Voice?\" We always loved tuning in to The Voice to see Aguilera's versatile styles. Her touchable waves from an April episode are a fuss-free look that's easy to recreate at home. \"Christina's Roland Mouret dress was such a great fashion moment with a touch of sexiness, so I wanted her hair to have the same feeling,\" said her hairstylist Mark Townsend. He started by spritzing wet strands with Sally Hershberger's Super Keratin Spray ($13; ulta.com) to soften and condition her hair before blowing it out with a round brush. \"To add extra texture, I created a soft wave by spraying the Dove Style + Care Hairspray ($5; drugstore.com) onto sections, and loosely wrapped them around a two-inch curling iron.\""
},
{
"question": "\"How can I keep my coarse, thick, naturally curly hair from drying out?",
"answer": "If I don't wash it every day, my scalp gets oily.\" Lathering up every day strips your strands of moisture, which can lead to breakage. Invest in a dry shampoo to remove the oil from your scalp, and extend the life of your style. \"Dry shampoo is a great in-between product that gives the illusion of a clean start,\" said Rihanna's hairstylist Ursula Stephen, who recommends Klorane's version ($18; ulta.com) \"The number of times you shampoo during the week depends on your hair's thickness. Thick, coarse, ringlets require washing every three to four days depending on the amount of styling product you use.\" \"What is a good wash-and-go style I can try for my naturally wavy hair?\" The long bob, seen here on Olivia Wilde, is a popular Hollywood favorite-and with good reason! The cut flatters all face shapes and looks great whether you style it, or let your hair's natural texture come into play. \"When wavy hair gets too long, it becomes heavy,\" Francis said. \"Go for a cut that grazes the collarbone and is slightly shorter in the back, and add in a few face-framing layers for movement. This creates a shape that won't require much fuss.\""

"question": "What is the Bobby Scheme?",
"answer": "The Bobby Scheme is a free, practical service for the elderly and vulnerable within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. We help clients make their properties safer and more secure, for example after a burglary, by replacing locks and fitting door chains and spy holes.

"answer": "If the client is a tenant, they will need to seek consent from the landlord. As our service is free landlords normally don’t object, however we do need permission before we can carry out any work. The service is free to those who qualify. In some cases we recommend that we fit a key safe. As these are expensive items, we do ask for a donation to cover some of the costs."
},
{
"question": "What can I do to secure my home?",
"answer": "There are plenty of things that can be done to improve the security of a home. Download our Safety Booklet for tips and advice. Alternatively, visit Hampshire Constabulary’s site for a range of crime prevention advice."

They will then carry out a full safe and secure check of the house and talk to the client to understand their situation and requirements. Any agreed work will be carried out at the time of the appointment."

"question": "How are filing fees paid?",
"answer": "When we file pleadings in your case, such as an Original Petition for Divorce or a Petition to Adjudicate Parentage, we pay the filing fee with the Court out of your retainer."
},
{
"question": "How will the other party receive notice that I’ve filed a case?",
"answer": "The Texas Rules of Civil Procedure require that a party be personally served by an authorized person (such as a private process server or constable) with pleadings in a case. In some situations, the opposing party can sign a Waiver of Service to waive the service requirement and simply acknowledge that he or she has received a copy of the pleadings."
},
{
"question": "What county will my divorce be filed in?",
"answer": "In Texas, in order to file for divorce, you have to have been a resident of the state for at least six months, and a resident of your present county for at least 90 days. If two spouses live in two different counties, and each has lived in his or her respective county for 90 days, the petition for divorce can be filed in either county. If there are children involved, in general, divorce proceedings need to take place in the county where the children are living. A Court in Texas cannot grant your divorce until the original petition has been on file for at least 60 days, except in exceptional circumstances. Agreed divorces can generally be finalized shortly after the 60 days have expired; contested divorces can take much longer, up to a year or more."
},
{
"question": "Can you represent both me and my spouse in our divorce?",
"answer": "Ethically, an attorney cannot represent both parties to a divorce case as there is a necessarily adversarial relationship between the parties – even if they believe they will come to an agreement on how to handle property and custody issues. My child wants to live with me."
},
{
"question": "Can she speak to a Judge?",
"answer": "In Texas, a party can file a Motion for Judge to Confer with Child requesting that a judge speak to the child about the child’s wishes as to custody, conservatorship, and so forth. If the child is 12 years old or older, it is mandatory that the Judge speak with the child. However, the child’s requests are not determinative of how the Judge will ultimately rule, as the “best interest” standard prevails."
},
{
"question": "What if I file for divorce but then my spouse and I reconcile?",
"answer": "If you reconcile during a divorce proceeding, the parties can jointly agree to “nonsuit” the case without prejudice to either party’s right to refile it. I have a custody order or divorce decree from another state, but now I live in Texas. I want to change the terms of custody, support, or visitation."
},
{
"question": "Do I have to go back to the other state?",
"answer": "Family law is different in every state. Luckily, however, nearly all U.S. states/territories (except Massachusetts and Puerto Rico) have adopted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which is a uniform body of law designed to deal with interstate custody and support disputes. Per the UCCJEA, once a state court has made a custody determination, that state retains continuing, exclusive jurisdiction over the case until either 1) the court in the original state determines that the child or the child and a parent no longer have a significant connection with the state, and evidence concerning the custody determination is not available in the state OR 2) a court of the state with jurisdiction or any other state determines that the child and both parents or acting parents do not reside in the state any longer. So, to determine where a modification suit may be filed, you need to consider where the child and each parent or acting parent is currently residing. The Texas Family Code sets forth guidelines for the calculation of child support. Support will be calculated based upon how many children are involved and based upon the income of the obligor (the person paying support). In some circumstances, the Court can consider factors other than just number of children and income, such as the amount of time each parent spends with the child, travel expenses incurred by the obligor to take visitation, and other factors, when calculating the appropriate support amount."

"answer": "The club was founded in 2000, and has been going from strength to strength earning Club Mark status in 2007 and winning Brighton and Hove Sports Club of the Year in 2008."
},
{
"question": "Where and when does the club meet and ride?",
"answer": "Between March and October the club typically meets at Preston Park Cycle Track every Satuday morning. The club also meets less often during the winter months. Where to find us. Age restrictions: The club provides activities for young people aged from 8 to 18 but all ages can join the club."
},
{
"question": "How much does it cost to attend a club session?",
"answer": "Sessions are £3.00. There is an annual membership fee of £20 [£10 second and other siblings or second claim members] . Occasionally the club travels away from Brighton (Calshot near Portsmouth for track racing during the winter and mountain bike trips during the summer have proved popular). For these type of events, there may be additional costs."
},
{
"question": "What do I need to bring if I want to join in on a road ride session?",
"answer": "Tyre levers, puncture repair kit, spare inner tube, pump and simple tools e.g. hexagon key set or multi-tool. “We meet early at the track so we can leave promptly at 9:30am. All riders sign on with an emergency contact details and medical conditions if any. Everyone is expected to make sure their bike is roadworthy, brakes work and tyre pressures are correct. The coach asks that everyone has a pump, spare inner tube, tyre levers, multi tool, money, drink and a snack. The coach reminds us to ride safely. The route is planned by a coach usually but sometimes riders suggest a route. We usually head north out of Brighton on the A23 cycle path and warm up for the first 5-10 minutes. We stop at the lay-by at Waterhall and the coach tells us the plan. We ride in a group, in pairs when it’s safe to do so; we’ve practiced this a lot at the track and swap over riders on the front. We usually ride about 30 miles in 2 hours or so. There are lots of good cycling roads outside Brighton, it’s gently rolling terrain mainly but we do have Ditchling Beacon and the Devil’s Dyke on the South Downs which are good to improve our hill climbing skills. We always stop somewhere safe to talk about what we will do next and to make sure we have a drink. Sometimes we will split into different ability groups and do a circuit, set the slower riders off first, followed by the faster ones so they arrive at the end at the same time. Where it is safe on quieter roads we sprint up the hills then get back into a group to ride on. We head back to Preston Park taking care on the roads back into town as there is usually lots more traffic. It is unlikely that Calshot has enough hire bikes and shoes to fit everyone and so you may wish to consider taking a club bike with you. Calshot is the world’s [probably] shortest velodrome at 147 metres long. It is a proper banked track, very easy to ride and very exciting. Please note that usually Calshot is colder inside than the weather outside and this is particularly a problem for spectators. For riders you need warm clothing and should not be riding in shorts. Helmet, gloves or mitts are all essential as is a snack and drink. Calshot is 90 miles from Brighton and cannot reasonably be driven in less than 90 minutes and two hours is a sensible time. It is best to arrive up to an hour in advance of the session to enjoy your visit fully. This is an exciting opportunity for members to ride on fixed gear bikes indoors. For those who wish to make a day of it, Calshot has many other activities and is near to the New Forest . Please see http://www.hants.gov.uk/calshot/ for more information about the centre."

"question": "How can I order club kit?",
"answer": "We have a high quality kit which you can order from us by visiting the dedicated section of our website. It’s specially made to order and we will order it once or twice a year. Be patient when ordering as it always take a long time to arrive no matter which company we chose to supply it. We usually have a stock of jerseys, ask at the club if you would like one of these. Club bikes are available for borrowing during club sessions free of charge. First come first served. You may wish to make a longer term use of a club bike and keep it at home. This is free of charge but the club expects bikes to be returned in good condition and for the temporary owner to take responsibility for maintenance and repairs including accident damage. To borrow a bike it is expected that you are likely to be using it weekly and racing it during the racing season."
},
{
"question": "Where can I find a racing bike?",
"answer": "We have found that most riders under the age of 10 (and indeed some under the age of 12) will need a bike with 24″ wheels. Unfortunately, racing bikes this size are very difficult to come by in this country. Kids in the club have managed to find bikes from an amazing variety of sources, including classified ads (try Loot and the Friday-Ad), relatives on the Continent and even the dump! We have also heard rumours that Brixton Bikes in London is able to special order Peugeot kid’s racers from France. Perseverance pays off, so don’t get discouraged if none of these routes pays off. The club also has a few old road bikes available to lend, so let us know if you haven’t been able to get a hold of a bike, and we may be able to help or guide you.For older and taller riders, there are, of course, many more options. Many “Triathlon” bikes have slightly smaller 26″ inch wheels, which may be ideal for someone who isn’t quite tall enough bikes with 27″/700c wheels. Baker Street Bikes in Brighton is a good place to start, but if you are serious about racing and not sure what to get, it may be useful to come along and speak to one of the coaches."
},
{
"question": "What are the age categories for racing?",
"answer": "There are five youth age categories: under 16, under 14, under 12, under 10 and under 8. For full details of these age categories and associated gear restrictions, please read the Gear Restrictions and Age Categories document."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to own a track bike in order to race at the track?",
"answer": "No. All our riders in the club regularly train with track bikes. Events at Preston Park on Wednesday are require under 12, 14 and 16 year categories to race on track bikes. We have a large number of these bikes and will lend them out to club riders for Wednesday night racing and other track events. The Wednesday night racing is organised by the Sussex Cycling racing league click here for details. Although no sport or outdoor activity is 100% safe, at PPYCC we have an excellent safety record. Our coaches are fully BCF qualified Club Coaches, and no club session is permitted to take place without at least one in attendance. As fully qualified coaches, they also hold first aid certificates and have been clearance to work with young people."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to become a member of British Cycling?",
"answer": "If you join the club, a portion of your club fees goes towards membership of the British Cycling Federation. Membership confers many benefits, including reduced entry fees and insurance. Please visit the British Cycling Federation website for further details."
},
{
"question": "Does the club have any riders interested in BMX?",
"answer": "PPYCC has mainly track and road riders and also has an interest in mountain biking and cyclo-cross riding. We don’t currently have any BMX riders, but many of the activities we do during our club sessions are suitable for those on BMX bikes. If you’re not sure, come along and try it out."

The Holder's Dominion takes place on a college campus and therefore can be categorized into a genre called “new adult,” meaning college-age characters, but the story can also be categorized into the genre \"young adult,\" because the foundation of this story revolves around that “shove” we all go through into adulthood.

"question": "Back On Track Is Too Hard, I’m a Failure, Should I Quit?",
"answer": "This is NOT our first rodeo and we understand that BACK ON TRACK is VERY difficult for the first few days and some of you with best intentions have not been able to hang with the program AND THAT IS OKAY. You don’t have to be PERFECT for this to work. The intention of Back on Track is to take away your CHOICES other than that one healthy protein meal a day PLUS put a cap on your calories. IF you have been substituting ANY of your five feedings a day with a 100 Calorie Inspire protein drink YOU ARE SUCCESSFULLY REDUCING YOUR CALORIES and FUELING WEIGHT LOSS. Way to go! Flip your mind around… this is one of those cases where CLOSE is a good thing. So those of you who are unable to do Four or Five Shakes a Day Plus One Protein Meal, YOU HAVE NOT FAILED, you are still in the game, as long as you are making better choices. We still applaud your efforts and want to HEAR from you. Don’t go silent on us. I am lost. When I had my Rouen y surgery 10 years ago I weighed 248lbs. Los 80 lbs gradually gained to 202 by 2013, at which time had a revision done and lost back to 168. I’m now 208 lbs. just 3 years later. What can I do. I’m so frustrated I hate myself. Hi Gail,our Back on Track plan(linked in the article) is so effective- you just have to jump in with both feet and get started. It takes you back to basics, and gets you back in a fresh mindset. Regaining after revision is definitely not something you anticipated, perhaps never imagined. But there is hope, and a way to overcome this- give it a try! I need to know these stats to start my BOAT next month on my B-DAY on 05/02/17 how many (1. Calories) (2.Fats)(3.Sugar)(4.Sodium) (5.Carbs (6.Fiber)(7.Protein) I am allowed daily to lose my REGAIN. I need help getting back on track! I had the gastric sleeve and I’m slowly creeping back up on the scales…I’m definitely not happy about it! Please help!!! I don’t want to gain my weight back! I am certainly not the model BOT participant but it is working. Some days I felt especially hungry and have eaten two protein meals instead of one. But not every day and not junk food or carbs. BOT works. Hi, I get that munchie feeling evey time I have to go toy mother in laws. They always buy junk, never eat healtht and leave their junkfood lying all around. Ugh. I have been trying to start BOT. Day 1 was good,dat 2 was not. At the same time I decided to try to quit vaping(what is wrong with my head) and my 3 boys have had fighting attitudes from hell, not listening."

"question": "Can I do DIY Buckets of flowers and have you handle the bouquet/boutonnières?",
"answer": "Absolutely! We offer a la carte services so you can easily pick and choose how you want to pull off your event. If you order the customized bucket which contains only flowers, we recommend adding a bucket of greens and fillers ($45) for every two buckets of flowers. For larger quantities of one type of flower, email us with your request for an estimate. General pricing for wedding items that we create. This pricing is subject to change with customization. Pricing includes the ribbon wrap and pins. We accept requests for specific types of flowers but we cannot guarantee that they will be available due to the variations in the weather. We do our best to accommodate specific color themes and favorite flower requests but sometimes substitutions may be necessary. We do not order through third party vendors and use only what we grow. Our flowers are usually available late June through mid October. For weddings and rehearsal dinners we require a $100 deposit to secure your date and we then reserve that week to cut and/or arrange for your special event. For the DIY bride, the best way to keep your stress level low is to carve out half a day the day before the event to do your own arrangements. We suggest picking up your flowers two days before your event, (or at least early in the morning one day before your event). For all others, reserve a date here and we will be in touch about next steps. Surf our Pinterest page and see what inspires us."
},
{
"question": "Maybe it will inspire you?",
"answer": "Limited delivery service (for a fee) within an hour's distance from the farm (1406 Bayside Road, Trenton Maine) but farm pickup is preferred. While you don't have to keep your flowers in the fridge, we suggest transporting them in an air conditioned vehicle (never in the back of a pick-up truck), storing them in a cool basement or air conditioned room, out of direct sunlight and away from food."

"answer": "A: Nylon is a quick-drying synthetic fabric and offers excellent sun protection. We use Nylon because it is more rugged than any other fabric on the market.

},
{
"question": "Q: How do I care for my InsectShield clothes?",
"answer": "A: The care directions on InsectShield clothing tell you to wash them separately from your regular clothing. The reason for this is that the more clothes in the washer with your InsectShield garments, the more garment-on-garment friction there will be, causing the InsectShield to rub off faster. However, this will not affect your other clothing and the permethrin the clothing is treated with is nontoxic and will not transfer to other articles of clothing."

{
"question": "Do you only work with nonprofits?",
"answer": "No. The principles of sound development and management are common to many types of organizations and very different industries. We support nonprofits as well as the public sector, and businesses when they are doing charitable work."
},
{
"question": "How long has Andi Kemp been fundraising for, consulting with, or being a leader in nonprofits?",
"answer": "As of Dec 2017, she had written 240 proposals, acting as the project manager and doing 3/4 or more of the work to develop and submit the grant requests. About 70% of the applications/proposals have been awarded, for a total of $19.5 million raised for not-for-profit (nonprofit) organizations and communities. Please see the Contracts and Rates page for more information. We provide free estimates. Contact us. The ultimate cost of a project or contract is driven by many factors: 1) the number of hours required to complete the scope of work, 2) the project’s complexity, 3) the urgency of the timeline (we charge rush rates), 4) the readiness of the organization to apply for funds or carry out a campaign, and 5) their capacity to support the process. Sometimes, after completing an initial project, if the initial experience is a positive one, we may negotiate discounted rates on future contracts. If a proposed contract is large enough or covers a period of 6+ months, a discount may be offered on the hourly rate. Andi is thoughtful about financial resources and careful with her time."
},
{
"question": "How do you interact remotely with clients in different areas?",
"answer": "We do whatever it takes to make the project successful and meet people where they are. We minimize travel costs for the best use of resources. Andi is comfortable using Skype, Google Conference, GoToMeeting, Zoom and conference calls for meetings. We’ve used Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack and OneDrive for group editing and communication. Email is a good way to communicate (especially in early stages) about technical and detail-oriented topics, and preferred for document share. Face time is invaluable."
},
{
"question": "Can we pay you with a percentage of the award if we win a grant you help us write?",
"answer": "No. It doesn’t meet the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Code of Ethical Standards, and it’s not in a nonprofits’ best interest to pay fundraisers in this way. The fundraiser might be more tempted to chase big money than to help you stay mission-focused and working on your most important strategic goals and community needs. Also, it’s good to remember that development consultants and grant fundraisers have acquired and share a valuable set of professional skills. This knowledge-based work deserves fair compensation for services provided, no matter the fundraising outcome for the client. It’s similar to the way accountants, mechanics, health care practitioners, attorneys and other specialists are compensated."
},
{
"question": "What training courses do you provide?",
"answer": "Grant fundraising, budgeting for programs and nonprofits, online research, panels with other development consultants, federal and state grant writing, and more. We customize the experience for each organization, group, and individual served. Rather than develop a series of canned modules, we learn about specific needs and address them through training. We develop and deliver engaging and flexible courses that are delivered in an informal classroom-style setting, with written handouts, visual presentations and Q&A for participants."
},
{
"question": "Is a case for support the same thing as a case statement?",
"answer": "Yes. Case for support is a newer term. These can be used for donor fundraising purposes and/or serve as foundational documents for grant and sponsorship proposals in major campaigns."
},
{
"question": "Do you just write grants?",
"answer": "No! We can offer a lot more, and are very good at figuring out the A-Z when those steps don’t yet exist. We see the forest and the trees, which is useful in complex, fast-moving organizations. We’re also committed to excellence and best practices. Being led by a well-rounded development consultant with access to professionals in the field helps our company to inform and improve your grant fundraising practices, leading to a stronger organization with more money to carry out the mission!"
},
{
"question": "How many hours does it take to write a grant?",
"answer": "That depends. In the course of writing hundreds of proposals, it’s taken Andi (Principal Consultant) anywhere from 8 to 125 hours per application. To help answer this commonly asked and perfectly reasonable question, we’ve developed a document with ranges of hours for the time it takes me to write grant proposals, broken down by the type of grant. (Every fundraiser is different.) Please click here for a copy. No two grants are alike, so in making a reasonable estimate, we consider many factors related to the strength of the applicant, viability of the project, and alignment between the applicant and funding partners’ strategic goals in the proposed use of funds."
},
{
"question": "If we hire you, can you re-use material in another grant proposal?",
"answer": "Somewhat. Organization descriptions can be re-used and “tweaked” to fit character limits or the focus of the proposal. Project Budget templates can be emptied and re-built for another grant as a time-saving measure. Single-page program overviews with brief testimonials from clients or participants are great to reuse, and not just for grants. If you really mean, “Can you cut and paste material to write multiple proposals quickly and win loads of grant money for us?” the answer is No. We believe funding partners, organizations, financial investments and communities deserve more respect. And in our experience – based on the guidance of professionals – careful alignment of a funding partner’s goals with an organization’s strategic priorities and operational strengths leads to the success many are seeking. We want to get a grant to launch a new program."
},
{
"question": "Can you help us?",
"answer": "Maybe. First we’ll ask a lot of questions about how you determined the need for the project, what other sources of funds are potentially available this year and next, the organization’s commitment, and your plans to sustain the program or project once the grant funding ends. If you aren’t prepared to answer or haven’t thought that far ahead, it’s best to do more planning first. Those are the types of questions that funding partners ask in grant applications and contract proposals."
},
{
"question": "What’s a good success rate for a grant writer?",
"answer": "The return on investment for organizations that hire professional fundraisers and achieve 70%+ rates can exceed 10:1 or 20:1."
},
{
"question": "Is Andi any good at this?",
"answer": "Reasonably, yes. She’s earned a 71% success rate with grant applications funded and won about 60% of the funds requested over the course of my 8-year career. This applies when she was acting as project manager or contributed substantially to proposal development. She had some years at 90% and some years at 50% for success rates, and struck out completely with a couple of nonprofits who weren’t ready to write grants as an org, or whose leadership staff were uncooperative about the process. Andi has been fortunate to work with strong consultants, has ethical practices and high standards, and chooses to serve relatively high-functioning nonprofit organizations. She is willing to work hard to learn the profession quickly and well, and has been diligent about writing a lot of grants in a few years’ time. Like many of her fellow professionals, she respects the craft and takes pride in her work."
},
{
"question": "Why are some grant writers not successful?",
"answer": "Success depends on many factors outside the control of grant writers – the types of grants written, the pool of applicants you’re competing against, the strategic alignment of the request to the funding partner’s priorities, an organization that is “chasing money”, the level of engagement of the board, the fiscal health of the organization, etc."

"question": "# What is involved in a hearing test?",
"answer": "On your first visit, the Hearing Aid Audiologist from Sutton or Solihull Hearing Centre will aim to find out about your personal hearing difficulties. This will be done by asking select questions about the problems you have, with the aim of finding out as much as possible about the different situations which affect you. They will then conduct a thorough test battery, which will include; otoscopy (examination of the ear), video otoscopy (video examination of the ear, allowing you to see inside! ), and air conduction and bone conduction audiometry (hearing testing). There may be more tests required dependent on what is required. After this, the Hearing Aid Audiologist will present to you your results, and explain them to you in the clearest possible way. If it is required that you need to seek further medical advice, the Hearing Aid Audiologist will be able to help arrange this, and will refer you to the necessary professional. If the outcome is that you would benefit from a set of hearing aids, then the Hearing Aid Audiologist will be able to use your results to take into account which instruments would be most suitable for you - and then take you through the different options available."
},
{
"question": "# How long will a hearing test take?",
"answer": "A hearing test normally takes around an hour to complete, but it is probably best to allow an hour and a half. This makes allowances for anything that may cause the appointment to run over time."
},
{
"question": "# Will the hearing test hurt?",
"answer": "The hearing test does not hurt at all, and there are special measures taken to prevent you from hearing sound that will cause discomfort."
},
{
"question": "# How much do hearing aids cost?",
"answer": "Hearing Aids can vary in cost. They can start from as little as £495 and go up to thousands of pounds each. At Sutton and Solihull Hearing Centres, we accommodate for all budgets, and will try as hard as possible to find the right solution for your own personal needs."
},
{
"question": "# If I require hearing aids, do I need 2 of them?",
"answer": "This is completely dependent on the type of hearing loss you have. If the hearing loss is unilateral (one-sided), and the solution has been confirmed as a hearing aid - then you will only require one. If the hearing loss is bilateral (in both sides) then the best solution is to have hearing aids in both ears. This is because the brain requires two inputs of sounds in order to hear as well as possible. By having amplification in both ears, you will gain more benefit - and will also be able to localise where speech is coming from."
},
{
"question": "# Will wearing hearing aids make my hearing worse?",
"answer": "Hearing aids are programmed precisely to your hearing loss, and there is no danger of the hearing aids making your hearing loss worse."

"question": "Q: What are flavoring chemicals?",
"answer": "A: Flavoring chemicals are found in food products, such as microwave popcorn, and often contain complex mixtures of natural and man-made ingredients."
},
{
"question": "Q: Has there been any recent news about flavoring chemicals?",
"answer": "A: Recent research has focused on the release of harmful chemical vapors at microwave popcorn packaging plants. Depending on the flavoring and the food product manufacturing process, workers in factories and manufacturing plants may be exposed to hazardous flavorings or flavoring ingredients in the form of chemical vapors, dusts, or sprays."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why are the vaporsreleased from flavoring chemicals dangerous?",
"answer": "A: A chemical called diacetyl is used to add a butter-like flavor to food products, including microwave popcorn. Animal studies have shown that rats exposed to vapors from flavoring chemicals have developed severe airway injuries. It is suspected that there is a causal relationship between diacetyl exposure and the development of bronchiolitis obliterans, an uncommon lung disease characterized by fixed airways obstruction. However, this causal relationship has not been firmly established."
},
{
"question": "Q: Do the flavoring chemicals found in these food products pose any danger to the ordinary consumer?",
"answer": "A: In September 2007, ABC News reported the first known case of \"popcorn lung\" in a consumer who ate large quantities of microwave popcorn. According to ABC, Wayne Watson of Centennial, Colorado \"ate about two bags daily, but now he has quit because of the havoc it reeked on his lungs.\""
},
{
"question": "Q: What symptoms are associated with flavoring chemicals exposure?",
"answer": "A: Symptoms include cough (without phlegm) and shortness of breath on exertion. Other symptoms include fever, night sweats,and weight loss, as well as eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation. Symptoms typically do not improve even when a worker spends time away from a factor or plant that produces, uses, or processes flavoring chemicals. While there may be a gradual reduction of cough years after exposure, shortness of breath on exertion persists. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and are generally gradual in onset and progressive (although severe symptoms can occur suddenly)."
},
{
"question": "Q: How can hazardous exposure to flavoring chemicals be eliminated or prevented?",
"answer": "A: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that employers substitute less hazardous materials if feasible, implement engineering and administrative controls, educate themselves and their employees, mandate the use of personal protective equipment (such as gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection equipment, if necessary), and regularly monitor exposure and worker health. For a full description of NIOSH's recommendations, click here. Also, see Preventing Lung Disease in Workers Who Use or Make Flavorings."
},
{
"question": "Q: Are there any government standards or regulations in place to monitor hazardous exposure to flavoring chemicals?",
"answer": "A: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure limits (PELs) and/or NIOSH recommended exposure limits (RELs) have only been established for only 46 of the 1,037 flavoring ingredients considered by the flavorings industry to be potentially hazardous because of their volatility and irritant properties. Much remains to be investigated."
},
{
"question": "Q: What should I doif I think I have been injured as a result of flavoring chemicals exposure?",
"answer": "A: If you or a loved one have experienced any symptoms or have developed any medical conditions related to exposure to flavoring chemicals, you should first seek immediate medical attention. In the event that you are concerned that you are exposed to high levels of flavoring chemicals at your place of work, you may wish to meet with an experienced attorney to discuss your options and to protect your right to a legal remedy for your injuries.

"question": "If a circuit breaker trips, is this dangerous?",
"answer": "Frequent breaker trips could be a sign that the circuit is being overloaded somewhere on the property. A wire, socket or appliance could be overheating, which could eventually cause a fire."
},
{
"question": "Why does my lightbulb burn out faster than expected?",
"answer": "A light bulb that prematurely burns out in a particular lamp or socket is a sign of a poor electrical connection causing heat build-up in the lamp. Identifying the poor connection and repairing it should resolve the issue."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to replace an outlet if the plug is loose?",
"answer": "Yes. A loose plug in an outlet results in high electrical resistance. Electrical resistance causes overheating, which often results in a fire. An overheating outlet may also damage the connected device or appliance. Replacing an electrical outlet is a relatively inexpensive task."
},
{
"question": "Why is my electrical panel buzzing?",
"answer": "A breaker could be loose, or a hot breaker is allowing current to flow between hot and neutral. Either issue should be inspected immediately by a qualified electrician."
},
{
"question": "Can I replace a four-prong plug with a three-prong plug?",
"answer": "The National Electric Code (NEC) requires new installations to provide a second neutral on all 220V appliances. You can replace the four prong cord with a three prong cord, but the safer option would be to upgrade the electrical supply to your 220V appliances."
},
{
"question": "Can I install electrical wiring myself?",
"answer": "Some counties and cities allow do it yourself wiring, but you must have a permit and your installation must be inspected by the city or county electrical inspector. Some locations require a certified contractor to install electrical wiring. Contact your local government for the specific laws in your area. Regardless, it’s a good idea to hire a licensed electrician."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between 110 and 220 volts?",
"answer": "More voltage at the same cycles per second (cps), which means more power to the appliance. Generally, 220V is used for large appliances, 110V is used for small appliances. Using a 110V appliance in a 220V outlet will burn out the appliance. Using a 220V appliance in a 110V outlet will make the appliance run slow or not at all. A surge protector is an appliance that protects an electrical device from voltage spikes. A surge protector is designed to limit the voltage flow to an electric device by blocking any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold. In Florida, we are often affected by hurricanes, which can leave entire communities without power for weeks. In addition to Florida hurricanes, the aging US power grid complicates the repair and restoration of power after a disaster."
},
{

{
"question": "Does Stardust-NExT have anything to do with NASA's old Stardust mission?",
"answer": "Yes — it's the same spacecraft with a different mission. NASA's Stardust probe launched back in February 1999, tasked with gathering bits of dust and gas from around comet Wild 2 (pronounced \"Vilt 2\") and sending the sample back to Earth in a return canister. The original Stardust did its job. It flew by Wild 2 in January 2004, and the comet material it collected made it to Earth two years later. Since the probe was still in good shape and had a fair amount of fuel left, NASA gave it a new mission in 2007 — to meet up with comet Tempel 1 this year. Another NASA mission, called Deep Impact, visited Tempel 1 back in 2005. But it did more than visit: Deep Impact slammed an impactor into Tempel 1's surface, then studied the ejected material to get an idea of what the comet is made of. Another aim is to extend geologic mapping of Tempel 1's surface, adding to the work done by Deep Impact. Through making these and other observations, Stardust-NExT can contribute to scientists' understanding of how comets formed at the solar system's birth and how they have evolved since then, researchers have said. Comet Tempel 1 is 3.7-mile-wide (6 kilometers). It completes an orbit every 5 1/2 years, so it has circled the sun once since Deep Impact's visit. Stardust-NExT will make its closest approach to Tempel 1 around 11:40 p.m. EST on Feb. 14 (0440 GMT on Feb. 15). At that time, the probe — zooming through space at around 22,400 mph (36,000 kph) — will come within 124 miles (200 km) of the comet, snapping pictures and making measurements all the while. This NASA video describes the Stardust-NExT probe's Valentine's Day encounter with Comet Tempel 1. In the 1960s, the late comet hunter Brian Marsden studied Tempel 1's disappearance and predicted it would return in 1967 and 1972. Indeed, the comet was returned on June 8, 1967, then again in January 1972."

https://www.musclebuildingpoint.com/faq/how-to-build-muscle-in-your-spare-time/ | [
{
"question": "Have you decided that you would like to begin building muscle?",
"answer": "You need the right knowledge in order to make it happen. Here are some smart tips for building muscle that you can use as early as today. Use these tips to get the muscles you desire. Be sure that you set reasonable targets when working on building muscle mass. Good results are achieved through time, and by having hundreds of workouts. Attempting to achieve rapid muscle building by utilizing steroids, stimulants or any kind of dangerous product increases the risk of bodily harm and potentially severe health consequences. Crafting a workout schedule for muscle building will allow your success to continue and will help prevent injuries. People new to workouts concerning muscle building must limit their workouts to two times a week. More experienced individuals should try to go about three times per week. While using creatine supplements is beneficial, exercise caution during use, especially if using for longer durations. Those with kidney problems should not take creatine at all. They can also cause cramping, heart arrhythmia, and compartment syndrome. The adolescent age group is at a much higher risk for developing these types of problems. Make certain that you are taking these supplements in their recommended safe quantities. Alcohol can be a major deterrent if you are trying to build muscle mass. You can go ahead and indulge in an occasional glass of wine from time to time, but not in excess. Alcohol deters your progress in a number of ways and has no place in a healthy diet. Make sure that your form is good. Weight lifting that lacks good form will have little benefit in terms of muscle building, and risks unnecessary injury. For your initial reps with a new exercise, do them facing a mirror. This will help you make sure your form is correct. While not recommended for teenagers, adults may find creatine as a helpful way to build mass quickly. This supplement has the ability to increase your energy and assist your body in building more muscle mass. People familiar with creatine have used this supplement for a long time. It is advised that supplements be avoided, however, if you are still a developing youth or teenager. Supplements such as creatine can add to mass quickly. This supplement can increase the size and strength of your muscles approximately five pounds or so in only the first few weeks of using it. This is because creatine can help you perform more reps with heavier weights. Eat at least 3 grams of creatine prior to and after your workout. The “big three” should form the core of your exercise routine. Squats, dead lifts and bench presses all build muscle mass quickly. This type of exercise will help you develop your bulk and strength as well as condition your body. Incorporate a variation of exercises like this in your workouts regularly. Perform your exercises in a different order once in a while. Avoid falling into a rut with the same old routine. If you always work muscle groups in the same order, the last group will be tired once it’s time for you to begin that exercise. If you begin your workout fresh with those exercises periodically, you will see more growth. Always eat right before and right after a workout. At the beginning looks for a high protein snack. If your interest in your muscle building deepens, you may begin to pay more attention to your food intake. You can plan your meal schedule and your protein intake with precision in order to suit your workout schedule."

{
"question": "I’m traveling, how long can the cheese go without being refrigerated?",
"answer": "A couple of days to weeks for most cheeses, though some can go longer (any of the aged varieties; Parmigiano Reggiano, 4 year old cheddar, etc.). Soft cheeses will get soft (even squishy) and hard cheeses will “sweat” both moisture and oils, but this is natural and expected."
},
{
"question": "Is the cheese still good if it has mold on it?",
"answer": "Yes. Simply scrape the surface mold off and enjoy the cheese underneath. This is a matter of taste and common sense. You wouldn’t want to eat a wax or cloth rind, however soft ripening rinds such as Brie’s are often enjoyed."
},
{
"question": "How should I serve cheese?",
"answer": "At room temperature. Cheese, like wine, is more flavorful if allowed to come to room temperature before consumption."
},
{
"question": "How should I keep the cheese?",
"answer": "Yes. Lactose is a sugar which occurs in milk. When cheese is made the lactose is fermented into lactic acid. However, some people may find they have a difficult time digesting cheeses made from cow’s milk. This is due to the structure of the protein - not lactose (cheese is lactose free). Sheep and Goat’s milk cheeses are more readily digestible as they have a smaller protein structure that is easy for your body to absorb."
},
{
"question": "Why do the Europeans serve cheese prior to the dessert course?",
"answer": "Cheese is the bridge between the entrée and the dessert course. Either for accentuating the last sips of the wine or preparing the palate for a dessert/after dinner glass."
},
{
"question": "Can you bring raw milk cheese into the country?",
"answer": "If aged over sixty days raw milk cheeses can be brought in, as well as made here in the USA. However, if our government has their whey (way) we may have to wait 120 days!!"
},
{
"question": "But wait another week and who knows?",
"answer": "Hence our aphorism: Eat Cheese, Drink Wine, Live Life Happy! Mostly, even cheeses with animal rennet as opposed to vegetable rennet, (AKA cultured vegetable enzyme) are no longer taking the enzyme directly from the animal but instead are growing the enzyme on mushrooms. No. Sulfates are found in many common foods such as broccoli, asparagus, mineral water etc. There are 1000 times more sulfates in the average bottle of Italian mineral water than in a bottle of wine. If you get a slight headache and a stuffy nose from drinking wine it isn’t from the sulfates it’s from the histamines (or you had too much to drink). You can take an antihistamine before consumption to alleviate this condition. Or you can eat cheese! That’s right folks cheese has histamine blockers. However, if you have a strong allergy to histamines, cheese may not do the trick."

"question": "How can you offer me better exchange rates?",
"answer": "Since we deal with large sums of foreign exchange we can trade at the rates that banks and large financial institutions usually trade amongst themselves. However, unlike these banks we don’t charge you over the odds for your transactions. We believe in keeping the entire process transparent and charging you an agreed % fee for a simple, efficient service that is as easy to understand as it is to undertake. You can view a full list of our charges and fees as well as a live comparison between our exchange rates and the exchange rates available elsewhere."
},
{
"question": "What about banks and other providers who claim 0% commission?",
"answer": "These providers are able to state 0% commission because they don’t charge you for the transaction. However they still need to make money and they do this by quoting you a different rate to the one they’re actually trading at. The difference in rate is where they make their profit, and it’s usually a whole lot more than our 1% FX Fee."
},
{
"question": "Can’t I just use my bank to change currency?",
"answer": "When using a bank to change your currency you’ll often be charged as much as 10% for your transaction even with a claim of 0% commission. We’re focused on making sure you know exactly how much you’re getting charged and when you’re getting charged. And we’re confident you’ll find you’re getting charged much less."

},
{
"question": "If I am sending money to the same place more than once or paying with the same card, does the system store these details for future use?",
"answer": "Yes, each time you use your debit card for payment our system holds an encrypted token which allows you to select this card when you make future transactions.

"question": "What certificates do I need to work offshore?",
"answer": "If you want to work in the oil and gas industry you require an offshore survival certificate which is also known as the RGIT or the BOSIET. There are many variations depending on where you are based but BOSIET training with CA-EBS is the minimum requirement for offshore workers in the UK sector of the North Sea. If you’re platform based you might also require a MIST (Minimum Industry Safety Training) certificate and some employers request this regardless. Other countries outside the UK might have different requirements. For example in Norway, your UK certificates are accepted but Norwegian Escape Chute Training is also required."
},
{
"question": "What does OPITO stand for?",
"answer": "OPITO stands for Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organization. It’s a UK based training organisation for the oil and gas sector which sets industry standards in emergency response, industry training and competence. HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training) equips delegates with knowledge and skills you need to escape from a helicopter in water in the event of an emergency. It forms part of BOSIET and it can also be undertaken as a stand-alone course."
},
{
"question": "How much is BOSIET training?",
"answer": "BOSIET training with CA-EBs costs £700 excluding VAT. If you require BOSIET with CAEBS and EBS you need to undertake the combined course which costs £775 excluding VAT. For experienced offshore workers looking to revalidate their certificate, FOET training costs £400 excluding VAT."
},
{
"question": "How long does a BOSIET certificate last?",
"answer": "A BOSIET (Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training) certificate lasts four years. Before it expires, you need to complete FOET training with CA-EBS which validates the certificate for a further four years."
},
{
"question": "What is further offshore emergency training?",
"answer": "Experienced offshore workers who already hold a BOSIET certificate are required to undertake Further Offshore Emergency Training (FOET) every four years to revalidate their certificate. This gives delegates a chance to practise and establish emergency response skills that are not usually possible to replicate during drills, exercises and offshore training that take place in the work environment."
},
{
"question": "What does BOSIET stand for?",
"answer": "BOSIET stands for Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training. It is an essential requirement for anyone who is entering for the first time, or returning after a period of absence, the offshore industry. The course will equip them with the basic emergency response knowledge and skills for travelling to and from offshore installations by helicopter."
},
{
"question": "How long is BOSIET training?",
"answer": "BOSIET training is a three-day course and can be booked at Clyde Training Solutions, with courses running every week. After training delegates will be able to Identify the generic hazards which are specific to offshore oil and gas installations, Identify key offshore related safety regulations, demonstrate, in a simulated environment, that they can use the safety equipment, and follow procedures in preparing for, and during helicopter emergencies, demonstrate sea survival and first aid techniques and demonstrate that they can effectively use basic firefighting equipment. Delegates are required to undertake refresher training every four years, with this course called FOET Training (Further Offshore Emergency Training) and lasts approx. 1-day. Like BOSIET, FOET courses run every week at Clyde Training Solutions. STCW or the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers was adopted on 7 July 1978 and entered into force on 28 April 1984. The main purpose of the Convention is to promote safety of life and property at sea, and it is these stringent standards that Clyde Training Solutions work and adhere to."
},
{
"question": "What benefits will the new facility bring to the local area?",
"answer": "The first benefit we hope to bring to the local area is employment. We have worked closely with West Dunbartonshire Council at all stages of planning and this has progressed to actively recruiting local residents to fill diverse roles ranging from training assistants, customer care and quality control. As well as the ease of access Clydebank offers for training delegates travelling from near or far, we also believe it is fitting that we play our part in allowing it to continue its rich history in shaping the maritime industry, through the provision of highly trained personnel."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between STCW 95 and STCW 2010?",
"answer": "STCW 2010 has replaced STCW 95 and it’s the new code that Clyde Training Solutions adheres to. If you would like more information please check out our STCW 95 page."
},
{
"question": "Who does STCW apply to?",
"answer": "STCW applies to all crew members regardless of rank who serve on sea-going merchant ships registered to a country that’s covered by the convention. The term “sea-going merchant ships” refers to all vessels engaged in commercial maritime operations whether it’s domestic or international voyages. The STCW Code doesn’t apply to seafarers serving on warships, naval auxiliaries or any other government ship engaged in non-commercial service as well as pleasure yachts, fishing vessels and wooden ships of primitive build. As a result of the 2010 Manila Amendments, your STCW certificate is now only valid for 5 years. This means that anyone who completed their training over 5 years ago will need to do an STCW revalidation course."
},
{
"question": "How much does STCW cost?",
"answer": "The full 5-day STCW Basic Safety Training course at Clyde Training Solutions costs £875 which is aimed at new cadets. We also offer each module individually so you can spread them out over a few weeks rather than doing them all in five straight days. If you have already completed your basic safety training you only need to do an STCW revalidation course which again you have the option of doing in a block or individually. We have 2 block courses available – block 1 is a 3-day course priced at £700 and block 2 is a 4-day course priced at £875. ECDIS training is not mandatory for all navigators, it’s only required for more senior officers who are effectively in charge of navigation."
},
{
"question": "What is Clyde Training Solutions?",
"answer": "Clyde Training Solutions is the latest in the range of services offered by The Clyde Group, building upon existing training courses provided by Clyde Marine Training, which since 2005 as part of its Short Courses division has been providing industry recognised and certified training courses for marine personnel."
},
{
"question": "Where is the new building and what will it offer?",
"answer": "The new hub is situated in Clydebank, directly opposite the Golden Jubilee Conference Hotel and hospital, and is a unique centre of excellence dedicated to the delivery of mandatory and industry enhancing marine, and offshore oil & gas training courses – making it the only one of its kind in Central and Lowland Scotland. The centre will house multiple classrooms, training pool, HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training module, and full fire training ground complete with training stack and helideck to meet the highest level of industry standards. Crucially these facilities are all situated in the same location, meaning delegates can avoid unnecessary travel between sites."
},
{
"question": "What is the capacity of the new facility?",
"answer": "The centre will boast 5 fully equipped and adaptable classrooms for a range of training needs, offering a capacity of up to 24 delegates per room,, before students head out to take part in practical training within the complex. With courses ranging from one to five days, we expect to accommodate thousands of delegates annually."
},
{
"question": "Why has this been built in Clydebank?",
"answer": "Originally planned to be built adjacent to the Clyde Group headquarters in Hillington Park, it soon became apparent that to realise the full scale and capacity required for marine and offshore training in Central Scotland, larger premises would be required. This led us to securing land in Clydebank, in the heartland of Scotland’s ship-building past, present and future, and which offers easy access from the road, rail and air network. As well as the employment opportunities we are bringing to the local community, where possible we intend to source as many of the elements we require to run a successful training centre of this type, from catering through to gas supplies, as well as accommodation for those delegates travelling from further afield."
},
{
"question": "Why has Clyde Training Solutions chosen to provide courses to the oil and gas industry from this location?",
"answer": "For as long as the oil and gas industry has been based in Aberdeen and the North East, it has been accepted that the majority training should take place there too. But with the realisation that tens of thousands offshore workers live within the central belt area (Oil & Gas UK – Offshore Workforce Demographics Report 2014), it makes economic sense to have a training centre within easy reach of these workers homes, with the majority of training taking place when they are on shore leave. With excellent transport links and shorter travel times for delegates living in Scotland’s two largest cities and lowland areas, the centre will offer not only industry-leading training but also a more cost effective training solution."
},
{
"question": "Why will this facility and its course content benefit the oil and gas industry?",
"answer": "We believe that Clyde Training Solutions central location, experienced and competent trainers, modern facilities and extensive range of courses all on one site, means that oil and gas companies will benefit through highly trained and competent staff, whilst making significant savings in the form of travel and accommodation requirements."
