"question": "What’s the difference between insulation and air infiltration?",
"answer": "The biggest loser of energy in a house is air movement. This can be air moving in either direction since movement in general is bad. A proper air infiltration barrier minimizes the number of air changes per hour in a house and greatly increases the thermal comfort within the home; think, draft free rooms. Insulation is almost secondary to air movement. We want to first stop unplanned air circulation and then install the proper insulation type and thickness to maximize the temperature differential between outdoor and indoor air. That combination creates the most comfortable living space possible."
},
{
"question": "Why are my pipes freezing in an insulated space?",
"answer": "As mentioned above, more often than not it is air moving within a space that is supposedly properly insulated. It usually is not an issue of the insulation not being present but a factor of air movement and/or the insulation being installed on the “warm” or incorrect side of the pipes. Water and sewer piping must be insulated so they are contained within the thermal envelope and are not subject to cold air washing over them which would eventually cause the pipes to freeze."
},
{
"question": "Are there different types of spray foam?",
"answer": "There are all sorts of brands of spray foam, both available to the pro as well products that can be purchased in home centers. The real difference in professionally applied foams is that there are open cell as well as closed cell foams. Open cell foams allow for moisture diffusion (water vapor movement) and closed cell foams allow no water vapor diffusion. This creates essentially a water barrier membrane. This is very effective in some installations and not such a good idea in other building assemblies. Leave this determination up to your contractor and insulation specialist. The wrong choice can have serious non-intended consequences."
},
{
"question": "Why is attic ventilation important?",
"answer": "All homes create a fair amount of moisture from activities within the house including cooking, bathing, laundry, houseplants and gas combustion equipment that is non-vented such as cooktops. Air movement and temperature/humidity differential between the inside and outside can drive moisture into building assemblies including attic spaces. In an uninsulated attic, the moisture escaping the living space has the potential to condense on colder surfaces and turn into liquid water. A ventilated attic has the ability to carry any water away from the enclosed space, essentially keeping the surfaces free of water accumulation."
},
{
"question": "Should my crawlspace be insulated?",
"answer": "In our climate where it is cold in the winter and warm in the summer, it is best to seal and insulate crawlspaces for several reasons. The typical crawl space introduces water into the home from the earth beneath as well as migrating through the sidewalls. In addition, in a warm, humid climate, a ventilated crawl brings warm humid air into a cooler space in the summer and that air easily condenses on the colder surfaces in the crawl creating unintended water to accumulate. By sealing any air exchange from the outside, adding an appropriate amount of insulation and providing a little conditioned air into the crawlspace creating an environment that is within the thermal envelope and thus allows for a space that is warmer and dryer, much like the rest of the living space. The second advantage is that this is a permanent installation and does not require seasonal opening and closing of the foundation vents, an activity that is as antiquated as the science that used to support it."
},
{
"question": "How does it work?",
"answer": "Housewraps are a barrier that keeps the house dry from water outside the home and also creates an air barrier, effectively reducing drafts and air movement in the exterior walls. Wraps come in many different brands and compositions but they all share the water and air barrier properties. Where they differ is in the amount of water vapor that is permitted to pass through the wrap. This has an effect on how well a wall might dry out if interior house moisture moves into the wall cavity. Housewraps are known in the industry as Weather Resistant Barriers and are the primary defense against bulk moisture reaching wall cavities since it is assumed all sidings and exterior finishes have the potential for leakage. The key is a properly installed continuous barrier with no gaps, tears or holes and that the laps/flashings and sealants are all installed to the manufacturer specification. Only then will the WRB be sufficient to insure permanent protection of the wall section."
},
{
"question": "Why does my fireplace not draft correctly?",
"answer": "Fireplaces can be problematic from the start if not properly designed and constructed and this probably accounts for most of the performance difficulties seen. The firebox opening, throat, smoke shelf, flue size and chimney height all must work in unison for a wood burning fireplace to draft efficiently and not backdraft (smoke). A good drawing fireplace will take very little to warm up to create the convective draft that pulls smoke up the chimney. Another but less frequently observed problem is when the fireplace was built well enough to accommodate the original construction but then is tested when replacement windows are installed for instance. The “tightening” of the house might not allow enough air into the home to offset what is going, or trying to be pulled, up the chimney. Fans including larger kitchen range vents can also create competition for the chimney to provide a sufficient draft to maintain a draw and not backdraft. A solution to this is to attempt to provide more air into the home by installing a permanent makeup air duct or by simply cracking a window when that backdraft is observed. Gas fireplaces and gas logs tend to be a little less finicky but nonetheless important to make sure combustion gases are not being pulled back into the home. This is quite unhealthy as well since the gases contain carbon monoxide and a lot of water vapor."

{
"question": "Q: I do not know much about real estate investing, is it a difficult process?",
"answer": "A: PFR has made the process of investing in residential real estate extremely simple. We maintain a level of transparency that most investment companies do not, and we work with you every step of the way. You do not have to be fluent in real estate in order to own your own rental property!"
},
{
"question": "Q: Why invest in a city that I do not live in, and why Chicago?",
"answer": "A: Because the cash flow numbers work. The rent in relation to the purchase price of the home is quite high in comparison to other parts of the country. Not to mention, the Chicagoland area continues to experience exceptional appreciation in rental prices. Chicago has an ample supply of single family homes that include both high rents and low acquisition prices."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is an affordable rental property?",
"answer": "A: Just because you can afford the purchase price of the property does not make it affordable! You need to ensure that you are purchasing a quality piece of property; if you are constantly spending money out of pocket to own your property, and you experience negative cash flow it is no longer affordable. All of our properties are considered affordable because the money generated from the monthly rental income covers all of your expenses and leaves substantial positive cash flow for the investor."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do I know what property to select for my investment(s)?",
"answer": "A: With our turn-key investment program we will identify the right property for you based on the return on investment. We select properties based on your investment requirements and availability. Essentially, we buy in a box, and sell in a box; we purchase, renovate, and lease properties with very little variance."
},
{
"question": "Q: How does PFR determine if a property is located in a quality neighborhood?",
"answer": "A: We make sure to have a hands-on approach when selecting our properties. Every property is inspected more than once in order to determine the neighborhood quality and typically PFR already owns and/or manages multiple properties nearby. Our field agents drive by each property during different times of the day to determine the level of activity, traffic, noise, etc. This neighborhood data is collected and reviewed thoroughly, so that PRF can select the best possible location for the highest overall investment return."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why doesn’t PFR buy “high end” condo rental properties?",
"answer": "A: We are not interested in buying high end properties as they rarely have a high return on investment. Financially, our properties make sense; the monthly rental income generated covers the expenses and still provides s strong, monthly cash flow."
},
{
"question": "Q: How many tradesmen does PFR work with during construction?",
"answer": "A: PFR has dedicated tradesman working full time year round working on our properties. Currently we maintain a minimum of 50 tradesman that include construction managers, project managers, electricians, architects, plumbers, HVAC professionals, landscapers, masonry tradesman, painters, and carpenters. PFR stands above the rest performing major renovations on the majority of all properties available for sale on our website. A freshly rehabbed property with all new mechanicals is less cost to the new owner with deferred maintenance and better longevity."
},
{
"question": "Q: Should I hire a property inspector?",
"answer": "A: Yes, we will encourage you to hire a property manager in order to maintain confidence and transparency throughout the entire process."
},
{
"question": "Q: Do I have to see the property before I close on it?",
"answer": "A: We encourage our clients to visit Chicago and view their properties prior to closing however many of our clients purchase unseen. All information on our web site is validated through third party professionals there is little information that you cannot find out from your own home. However, our door is always open to investors who would like to view their rental property first hand, and we would encourage you to check out some of the local highlights as well!"
},
{
"question": "Q: How long does it take to own my first investment property?",
"answer": "A: Typically 45 to 60 days to purchase with a 30-year fixed loan and much sooner for cash buyers. PFR consistently buys and sells properties every month – we have your investment property in inventory now."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is your recommended time frame to buy and hold a property?",
"answer": "A: Our investment properties are designed for a medium (4-5 years) to a long term (10+ years) hold."
},
{
"question": "Q: I already own properties can I still qualify to buy more?",
"answer": "A: Yes. Our lenders can loan up to 10 residential properties per person in the household for well-qualified buyers. If you are married, each adult member of the household can purchase up to 10 properties although most lenders cap between a range of 4 to 10 per person."
},
{
"question": "Q: Will my investment property be leased at the time of closing?",
"answer": "Generally, properties are leased at the time of closing. However, there are rare cases when that is not possible; properties are always leased within 60 days of completion of construction and guaranteed in writing by PFR."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can I use my own local bank, or do you have preferred lenders?",
"answer": "A: We strongly urge each and every one of our investors to use our local, preferred lenders. They understand working with investors, investment properties, understand our market, and are very familiar with our company. We have established strong partnerships with them and because we consistently feed them new business and they will provide you with superior customer service. Choosing to go with an out of state bank as your lender could cause delays because they are unfamiliar with our investment market."
},
{
"question": "Q: Can I finance rental property with my retirement account?",
"answer": "A: Yes—and we are happy to assist you in this process. With most retirement programs, you have several options to choose from. We suggest calling (800) 341-0576 to speak with a PFR representative to discuss the various options."
},
{
"question": "Q: What if I want to go to the bank for a loan?",
"answer": "A: There are hundreds of investor loan programs for purchasing rental property. Down payments can range from 20% to 30%, with interest rates ranging from 5%-7%. Requirement for investor loan programs vary, some are strictly based on your credit score, while others consider the needs of credit challenged investors but require larger down payments or higher interest rates."
},
{
"question": "Q: What if I can pay for my property in cash?",
"answer": "A: If you plan to purchase with cash, or a line of credit that is secured by another asset, there are no loan costs involved for you."
},
{
"question": "Q: How does closing work in Chicago?",
"answer": "A: In Chicago, licensed real estate attorneys handle most closings. They attend to everything from acquiring title insurance to working with lenders to coordinate closing. The only difference with closing with an attorney versus a title company is that you will receive more personal attention!"
},
{
"question": "Q: Can I work with PFR if I don’t qualify today to purchase an investment property?",
"answer": "A: Yes. We work with the best credit counselors, attorneys and lenders in the market place that can help repair blemishes that restrict ownership of our investment properties. Our team of professionals will clearly layout a plan to put you on the fast track to owning investment properties. Contact a PFR representative by calling (800) 341-0576 to get started."
},
{
"question": "Q: Who manages the property?",
"answer": "A: We currently work with two large property management companies that work diligently each and every day to make sure the maintenance and repair needs are met for our tenant. Our property management companies are staffed with experienced property managers on call 24-7 dedicated to PFR’s buyers and tenants."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do you go about attracting tenants?",
"answer": "A: We use a number of different resources to attract tenants. Online marketing sources include, Trulia, Craigslist, Backpage, Google, Domu.com, and our own websites. We also welcome referrals from existing tenants, host local block events and partner with the Chicago Housing Authority for Section 8 tenants. Lastly, we work with over 5 different leasing agencies that specialize in sourcing Chicago tenants. By utilizing all of our available resources we are able to ensure a steady stream of prospective tenants."
},
{
"question": "Q: Am I the owner/landlord responsible for compensating any Leasing Agent or any marketing to attract tenants?",
"answer": "A: The tenants pay a non-refundable move-in fee equal to $500 for apartments located in Chicago and for suburban houses we collect a security deposit for at least $1,500."
},
{
"question": "Q: Do you require a “Security Deposit”?",
"answer": "A: Yes we require security deposits for all single family houses especially the houses located in the south suburbs of Chicago. These cities include South Holland, Dolton, Hazel Crest, Country Club Hills, Matteson, and Richton Park."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is your tenant screening process?",
"answer": "A: We use sophisticated software to screen our tenant’s background, eviction history, and credit score. We also verify their employment, income, personal references, previous landlord tenancy, onsite visits of current residency, and if applicable verify government assistance program participation, such as Section 8 or SSI."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do you ensure a low vacancy rate?",
"answer": "A: We renovate for resale, not for rental purposes. We redevelop the property to a downtown condo apartment quality, using high end finishes versus rental grade quality finishes. As a result, PFR commands a high demand for our finished unit versus our other available units in the same location—assuming rents are comparable."
},
{
"question": "Q: How long do PFR tenants typically reside in your investment properties?",
"answer": "A: Tenants sign a one year (12 month) lease to start however most of our tenants stay at least five years. We strive to maintain a high retention rate of our tenants, although the typical lease in our market place is one year. Our rehab quality is among the best in the market and we maintain our buildings to the highest of standards with excellent customer service. We view our tenants as family and want to make their stay with us very comfortable so they never leave."
},
{
"question": "Q: Does your Property Manager or team check on the properties regularly?",
"answer": "A: On average, we visit each unit quarterly to address maintenance issues, rent collection, and/or tenant questions. We also inspect building twice a year, generally at the start of winter and spring. This equates to approximately one visit every 3 months, or 4 per year on average."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is the procedure for a tenant to communicate a problem/request repair?",
"answer": "A: Tenants are issued a tenant handbook which addresses popular scenarios, from snow removal to who to call in an emergency situation. Tenants contact us via phone, email, or fax of which our staff enters the problem/work order into our Software system. The ticket is tracked until completion and billed to our client(s) if necessary."
},
{
"question": "Are they employed by you or a subcontractor?",
"answer": "A: Repair requests are originated by employees and completed by employees of PFR or its property management company. We have a full staff of property managers, maintenance staff, project managers, and landscapers."
},
{
"question": "Q: How am I notified if a maintenance request has been fulfilled, as well as any other communication between myself, the owner, and you, the Property Management Company?",
"answer": "A: 1) Any maintenance item that costs more than $75 to repair will require owner approval. One of our staff members will contact the owner for permission to complete the repair. 2) At the owners’ request, a report can be generated at any time to show all maintenance work orders performed. Most of our owners do not want to be bothered with minor issues such as changing light bulbs or fixing stopped up toilets."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do we handle a problematic tenant?",
"answer": "We follow a strict methodology for rewarding good tenants, and eliminating bad tenants. The process entails quick evictions for noncompliant tenants or in most cases relocation assistance; while good tenants are rewarded with excellent customer service from our staff."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is your procedure for working with a tenant who pays their rent late, or does not pay rent?",
"answer": "2) If payment arrangements are not made by the 10th of the month with our Property Manager, then on the 11th of the month our administrative staff tries to make contact with the tenant to ascertain any issues or reasons for non-payment. If no contact is made by the 15th we contact the owner and make recommendations to start the eviction process. Typically by this time we know if the tenant is going to pay, if not we make arrangements to move them out to avoid the eviction process. Uncooperative tenants will be evicted unless the owners instructs us otherwise. Those tenants that do pay late will be charged a late fee, which is forwarded on to the owner."
},
{
"question": "Q: What is your procedure to start the eviction process and what should I realistically expect?",
"answer": "A: The eviction process typically takes 60 to 120 days to complete. The cost is between $950 and $1,200 and is handled by our attorney Gary Mages or with the property management company. We only need owner approval to start the process and from that point forward our professional staff will handle every detail including re-renting the vacant after the eviction. Approximately 98% of our tenants are government guaranteed HUD (Section 8) tenants therefore we rarely have to evict tenants from our buildings."
},
{
"question": "How much should I realistically expect to pay out of pocket in the event of an eviction?",
"answer": "A: The cost is between $950 and $1,200 with the first payment always $950 which is forwarded to our Attorney, Gary Mages, for filing, legal, and court fees. We recommend our owners hold in reserve a minimum of 4% of the gross rents collected for situations like this. For example, if the gross rents are $2,200 per month x 4% = $88 per month reserved. According to our market research and track record, the average tenant stays in their rental for at least two years, so assuming the owner has one eviction every two years the owner would have $2,112 in reserve, which is sufficient to pay the eviction cost and cover the lost net rental income until the unit is re-rented."
},
{
"question": "Do I pay extra to find a new tenant?",
"answer": "A: If the tenant vacates at the end of their lease, typically our property managers will know in advance, giving our staff ample time to source a new tenant to coincide with the existing tenant moving out shortly thereafter. The cost to find a new tenant is typically one month’s rent and often times less."
},
{
"question": "Will that cost me out of pocket?",
"answer": "A: Yes there will always be a cost to repair the unit once a tenant moves out. We recommend a minimum of 4% of the gross rent collected be reserved in anticipation of this event. Our cost to repair units is very low because all of our maintenance staff are full time employees which minimizes the expense to the owner. The typical cost can range from $750 to as high as $2,500. However, the average is usually less than $1,500."
},
{
"question": "Q: What are the pros and cons of having a market rate tenant versus a section 8 tenant?",
"answer": "A: Little difference between the two—investors will see that financially they are the same over a one year period of time however Section 8 is government guaranteed which is why 90% of our tenants are HUD guaranteed."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why would a prospective tenant want to rent a PFR property, versus a different rental property?",
"answer": "A: Due to our high quality finished units and professional property management services there is a high demand to reside in our properties—allowing us to be more selective of the tenants. Currently we have over 100 tenants on our waiting list."
},
{
"question": "Q: What happens if I run into a problem with a major expense?",
"answer": "A: By consistently maintaining the property it will add years to the protection of the home. For those investors looking to have additional security we would recommend purchasing a home warranty, with an estimated cost of $65 dollars per month that would cover any major issues (roof, water heater, appliances, etc). In the event a major expense arises, our property managers will repair at our cost basis which will always be less than hiring any outside resources to make the necessary repairs."
},
{
"question": "Q: How much does property insurance cost, and what does it cover?",
"answer": "A: Property insurance can vary from property to property. The average cost is $1,200 annually/$100 monthly, with a $1,000 deductible and $1,000,0000 liability protection. Insurance is a function of property location, credit, rental history, and other variables so the cost of insurance can range however the range is usually minimal."

"question": "What happens if I don’t receive a placement site I wanted?",
"answer": "To the extent possible, every effort will be made to match accepted applicants with departments that match their preferences, background, and skills. If an accepted applicant feels that the placement or project does not match their interests, they should notify the Fellowship coordinator prior to accepting placement."
},
{
"question": "What does a typical week look like for the Fellows?",
"answer": "The work week can require between 35 to 45 hours of work from a Fellow, depending on the specific circumstances of the department or project. Every week of the program incorporates at least two “Lunch and Learn” speakers, periodic formal and informal check-ins with mentors, a proposed weekday outing for the cohort, and abundant weekend opportunities for culture and recreation in Providence and across New England."
},
{
"question": "What is the Lunch and Learn series?",
"answer": "The twice-weekly Lunch and Learn program gives Fellows and other Providence interns in municipal, state, and federal service the opportunity to sit-down in small, intimate settings with public officials. Past speakers have included the Mayor of Providence, the Governor and Lt. Governor of Rhode Island, both U.S. Senators, Rhode Island representatives in Congress, the Rhode Island Attorney General, the Providence Chief of Police, the Superintendent of Providence Public Schools, and more. Before the first day of work, Fellows are paired with a City mentor based on shared values, backgrounds, and interests. Mentors offer Fellows unique, informal insights into the city, striking a work-life balance, and public service as a career. The mentor-Fellow relationship can include coffee meetings, lunch dates, and joint outings between the Fellow cohort and their collective mentors. I’m not from Rhode Island."
},
{
"question": "Am I at a disadvantage in applying?",
"answer": "Not at all. Fellows come from all over the nation and world. Each year, members of the cohort hail from local public colleges, private Ivy League universities, and everywhere in between. Some Fellows have never been to Providence before their first day of work. I’ve never worked in public service."
},
{
"question": "Can I still apply?",
"answer": "Absolutely. Fellows do not need to have any particular prerequisite work experience or specific academic course of study to apply, but must have a passion for public service. Each year the cohort brings a diversity of backgrounds, academic profiles, personal interests, and career aspirations to the program."
},
{
"question": "Will I need a car?",
"answer": "Providence is eminently walkable and bikeable. Fellows living in Providence will not need a car to enjoy the summer. In addition, the City of Providence offers a free bus pass to fellows during the duration of the Mayoral Fellowship."

},
{
"question": "Could it be from my crawl space?",
"answer": "Yes, this is very possible! The air in your crawl space contributes to the air in your home and we know that crawl spaces tend to be damp, musty places! While the old building science stated that crawl spaces should be vented, we now know that this is not the best solution for home air quality. Protecting and separating the home from the earth is key and the crawl space is the best place to solve this. We recommend encapsulating your crawl space to seal it up, keep it dry and most importantly, create a healthier environment for your family! Read about why you should encapsulate your crawl space here."

{
"question": "Does Peak Structural offer dehumidifiers?",
"answer": "Yes! We offer cutting-edge basement dehumidifier systems. Each of our warrantied systems is rated for energy efficiency and powerful enough to keep dry air circulating throughout the area. These dehumidifiers will ensure your basement is protected from excess moisture that can lead to mold growth and odors, ensuring you have a dry, clean space. For more information, click here."

{
"question": "Why would I want to care about my crawl space?",
"answer": "I don't ever go in there! The crawl space is often the most neglected part of a home."
},
{
"question": "I mean, why would anybody want to crawl around in a dark, damp space that is infested with spiders and other bugs?",
"answer": "It turns out that neglecting your crawl space – or at least its insulation – can have a drastic effect on the energy efficiency of your home. So, we encourage you to put on some old jeans and crawl around beneath your home. It might just lead to some discoveries that, when fixed, could lead to substantial energy savings! Read more here. I had a home inspection completed and the inspector found sagging floors in my kitchen above the crawl space."
},
{
"question": "What can be done?",
"answer": "The crawl space is an area that is susceptible to high moisture content. As the moisture content gets higher, the wooden supports in that environment begin to rot. The wooden supports in a crawlspace may get softer and start to rot. To stabilize and straighten the floors, we often recommend a new beam and galvanized steel SmartJacks. Encapsulating the crawl space is another great option, to reduce the moisture content in the crawl space. Check out this case study!"

{
"question": "How is a Naturopathic Doctor Trained?",
"answer": "Naturopathic doctors are registered and licensed health care professionals. A Naturopathic doctor's training consists of a minimum three year science based pre-medical program, followed by a four year doctorate degree from an accredited Naturopathic Medical College. Naturopathic doctors are required to complete 2 years of clinical experience and then pass extensive board exams before being granted a license to practice. They are regulated by a provincial and national association and are required to complete continuing education hours yearly to ensure they remain current. Naturopathic doctors are competent in evaluating standard medical blood work and diagnostic tests and although they do not use pharmaceuticals in their practice, they are trained in how pharmaceuticals function and what the side effects are."
},
{
"question": "What About My Medical Doctor?",
"answer": "Medical doctors are an important component of an individual’s health care program. They are an important part of the healthcare puzzle but not the only piece. The reality is that no one area of medicine has all the answers. Healthcare needs to be an integrated process of a number of different professionals to ensure you are receiving the best care possible. The MD's approach is targeted on disease diagnosis, emergency medicine, and medicating the symptom. Although this is valuable and provides initial relief, it doesn't address why the symptoms appeared in the first place. Naturopathic doctors look further than symptom palliation. Although treating the symptoms is important, the cause of the problem must be identified and addressed to return the body to optimal functioning."
},
{
"question": "What Can I Expect With My Initial Visit?",
"answer": "Your initial assessment consists of an in depth interview process where information such as current and prior health concerns, diet, stress, lifestyle, exercise, past illness, and environmental exposure are all integrated to identify the cause of the current symptoms being presented. Following this the patient will undergo a quick physical exam (without an internal) followed by additional testing to detect underlying causes and imbalances. The patient is then educated as to what is causing the imbalance and what is required to bring them back to a state of health. The patient's understanding and compliance are the most important components in the healing process; therefore, the visits are designed to create an atmosphere of trust and interaction to ensure the patient fully reaches their optimum potential. Naturopathic Medicine is a distinctively natural approach to health and healing that recognizes the integrity of the whole person. The practice of Naturopathic Medicine emerges from six underlying principles of healing. It is these principles that distinguish the profession from other medical approaches."

"answer": "“过去、现在和未来的区别，终究是虚妄 !”爱因斯坦早就言明了，所有的一切都已发生过了 !就像是一部已杀青的电影被烧成“VCD”而 VCD 的“前半段、中段、后半段” 对我们而言早就是已知的“事实”! 时间和空间是当我们这个 \" program \" 在 run 时,特有的现象，亦即 \"造物者\"(程序设计师),不受时空的限制, 不但如此,而且造物者还能\"定义时间\" 例如: 宠物蛋。我们养\"宠物蛋\"一个星期后,宠物蛋里的\"鸡\"或\"恐龙\",可能就长大成三岁了 !"
},
{
"question": "那是因为宠物蛋里的时间是由程序来定义的 !而且宠物蛋里的\"鸡\"或\"恐龙\"并不知到我们的时间才经过一个星期而已也就是所谓的\"天上一天,地上一千年\"。试问我们会不会也是别人所养的\"鸡\"或\"恐龙\"呢 ?亦即这个世界就是一个程序在 run !而天体的运行,地球的自转.....是不是表示这个程序正在 run 呢 ?",
"answer": "程序中的\"定义 \"(Define)和我们自然界定律的关系。我觉得在程序中用\"程序工具的语法\",\"定义\"出来的将会在\"程序\"中形成\"定律\",不但如此,\"定义\",它还会形成一种无形的力量,并且亘古不变,例如: 万有引力...磁力...作用与反作用力....而类似If...then...else... 的语法,将会形成我们世界中的\"因果关系\"。亦即我们所做的每一件事都是一个\"因\" 或是一个\"果\",而这种力量正是维持世界运作的\" 无形力量\"，而我们的世界也必须靠这些无形的\"定义\"维持,例如，当这个世界突然 \"消失万有引力\"(无形的定义)时,这个世界该如何是好 ! IF \" Source Code will be change\"\nthen goto \" try to stop this action \"\n\" try to stop this action\"\nuntill \" stop this action \"\n换言之 Game 中的那些主角\"永远\"的存在于那一片\" VCD \"中。当我们在第二次重看\"电影VCD\"时。我们轻松的知道\"电影内将发生什么事\", 也就是说，\"当程序开始 run 的那一煞那,就注定了一切\"换言之，\"造物者轻松的知道我们的未来\"\n到处看的到真理, 却看不出真理。如果我们是造物者用�k的万能或科学创造了这一切，那么到处都应该充满\"造物者的科学\",\"造物者的万能\"。为何我们看不出物质真正的本质(颜色形状 )？我认为是\"既然不是我们所创\"就\"不能说它是什么样子\"，就是物质的本质,也就是说：\" 必须透过造者的眼睛(认知),才能真正看出物质的本质\"，也就是 \"真理 \"\n我们都知道在\"爱因斯坦的相对论中\"..时间不是绝对的而是\" 相对的\"......这种时间不是绝对的而是\"相对的\"情形...以\"程序Program\"来看不正是 \"Perfect ! 吗?\".... \"一个 Games 中的人物用它的认知去看它 Game 中的世界\"....是永远无法看出\"真相\"的....唯有跳出程序...经由程序设计师来看才能看清\"真相\" !"

Footwear with the 3 in 1 fitting system feature two removable insoles, giving three fitting options for each foot. Wear with both insoles for maximum cushioning, remove the mid-insole to give extra room or remove both insoles for use with your own orthotics or for bandaged feet. When you first receive your new Sandpiper 3 in 1 footwear we would recommend you remove both of the removable insoles before trying them on. If your footwear is too wide after your initial try, replace the topmost insole and then the mid-insole testing the fit each time until the correct fit is reached. Once the fit is correct on one foot, do the same procedure with your other foot. Many people have two feet of slightly different sizes so do not assume both must be the same."

Replacement washable insoles for our Ultra Wide Ladies 6E sandals range are available to purchase. Sandpiper sanitisation is found on the lining of many of our slippers. It is unique sanitised protection against micro-organisms that prevents bacterial and fungal growth. Microbes are an everyday problem - bacteria, mould, fungi and yeasts are found everywhere in nature. They flourish wherever moisture and suitable temperatures prevail. Textiles are constantly exposed to the influence of microbes and can show signs of mould, unpleasant odour, mildew, discolouration, material destruction and loss of functional properties. The multiplication of microbes may be significantly reduced by means of an antimicrobial treatment to the material. The impregnation of the material with a combination of different environmentally friendly agents will prevent microbes from absorbing nutrients from their surroundings and effectively inhibits the multiplication of bacteria and fungi. The soles of my shoes need to be especially adapted."

{
"question": "What Are My Chances Of Success?",
"answer": "If you look at the numbers alone, your chances appear to be limited since the Court denies the vast majority of cases for review. In fact, statistics show that you have less than a one percent chance of having your petition granted. However, these numbers do not tell the whole story. They include thousands and thousands of frivolous petitions - most filed by inmates at various penal institutions. Accordingly, if you remove the frivolous petitions and only look at the ones that are filed with \"legitimate issues,\" then the statistical odds improve to about 10 percent. But that also is not the whole story because roughly one-half of the cases heard by the Court involve federal or state issues and/or constitutional, civil rights or criminal matters. So if your case involves a civil business issue your odds are better than at first glance but still not good. However, you never can tell when lightning will strike and we, at Counsel Press, do prepare a very substantial number of briefs on the merits. When we are discussing \"legitimate issues,\" you should keep in mind that we are not necessarily referring to issues of world shattering import because many of the cases taken by the Court deal with seemingly pedestrian matters. And it goes without saying that all \"legitimate issues\" are not equal and some have a greater chance of being heard than others."
},
{
"question": "When Must A Petition Be Filed?",
"answer": "A petition must be filed within 90 days of the date of the entry of the judgment sought to be reviewed but, if: a) a timely petition for rehearing or review has been filed by any party; or b) the lower court either appropriately entertains an untimely petition for rehearing or sua sponte considers rehearing, then the 90 day period runs for all parties from either the denial or, if granted, the subsequent decision. (See Rule 13) N.B. It is 90 days and not 3 months; the date of any mandate does not enter into the calculation; and this period is jurisdictional in all civil cases."
},
{
"question": "How Difficult Is It To Obtain An Extension of Time?",
"answer": "Extensions of time (up to 60 days) are covered by Rules 30.2, 22, 33.2 and 34. It depends not only upon your reasons and the timing of the request but also what area of the country your case is coming from and who is the sitting Justice for that area. The degree of difficulty in obtaining an extension varies from Justice to Justice and appears to range from virtually impossible with some to generally not a major problem with others. For a further discussion and some suggestions as to form, you may wish to contact us."
},
{
"question": "What Will A Petition Cost?",
"answer": "The cost of petitions vary dramatically and depend primarily upon the length of the appendix. However, we are able at the outset to provide an accurate estimate of the total printing costs once we have had an opportunity to speak with one of the lawyers involved in the preparation of the petition. We find it is generally not helpful to have a support staff call and ask the cost of a petition, as more often than not there are legal decisions that have to be discussed with regards to determining which documents to include, which will affect costs."
},
{
"question": "What Should My Appendix Contain?",
"answer": "Rule 14 governs the content of your appendix. It mandates that all relevant decisions, findings of fact and conclusions of law must be included. Besides that you also have the option to include any material you believe essential to the understanding of your petition. Therefore, the appendix is only limited by the record below and you become the ultimate arbiter of what goes into it. As a general rule, we recommend that you include only what is required. If the Court is not interested in the area of the law covered by your petition, it will certainly not be interested in the underlying facts. The Court will also assume what you have said is correct and if the respondent says otherwise you always have a reply brief in which to include whatever supporting documents you feel are necessary. And finally, the Court has the authority (which it does exercise) to call up the record from the court below which enables you to cite or quote from anything in the record without including it in your appendix. (Rule 12.7) But the decision is always yours. Our goal is simply to help minimize your cost without sacrificing the strength of your legal arguments."
},
{
"question": "Do You Have Any Sample Petitions?",
"answer": "We always have samples available of recent petitions we have worked on which the Court has granted cert. We also have samples of Cross Petitions and Conditional Cross Petitions, as well as just about any other document you can think of. Since the issues and facts in your case will no doubt be different, the primary benefit of a good sample is in its form -- to see how a petition has been properly laid out. We do not provide legal advice, but we will review your draft petition and point out any problems we may see. And we are also available to discuss tactics and strategy. N.B. The most important element of your petition is the \"Questions Presented\" page."
},
{
"question": "How Long Will It Take The Court To Decide?",
"answer": "The vast majority of petitions are ruled upon within 3 to 12 weeks of docketing. Initially, the respondent controls the timing. For instance, the respondent could waive filing an opposition brief upon receipt of the petition in which event your petition would be circulated immediately and the Court might rule as quickly as within 3 weeks. On the other hand, the respondent could ask for an extension of 30 days (added to the initial 30 day period) to put in an opposition brief so that a decision by the Court could be put off for at least 12 weeks from the docketing date. Once circulated, most petitions are disposed of within 2 1/2 weeks. However, some languish for months for a variety of reasons. In the final analysis, it is their Court and their ball. The Counsel Press Supreme Court team offers our clients expert service from petition to briefing on the merits. All the Counsel Press Supreme Court staff have at least 15 years experience. At Counsel Press, you will always work with bright, savvy, attorneys and paralegals that focus exclusively on United States Supreme Court procedure. The Supreme Court has some ambiguous rules, some misleading rules and even some unwritten rules. We not only know what the rules mean, but also how the Court interprets and enforces the rules. Counsel Press knows what must be done and when. When asked a question, others will suggest you call a clerk. We tell you the answer."

"question": "Is it really 'wrought' iron?",
"answer": "A common question. As we’re mechanical engineers, and we know iron (and it’s many forms and compositions), and we know how to work this iron into the shape of a finished pan (wrought). This makes a seamless rivetless pan WITHOUT casting, in a patented world-first process. This is iron and it is wrought."
},
{
"question": "Presuming it is untested?",
"answer": "The Australian versions of these pans are already legendary among top chefs and a #1 seller in Australia for their superior performance over cast iron and carbon steel: www.solidteknics.com/testify . We’ve started production in Chicago with US wrought iron because demand from US cooks was growing rapidly."
},
{
"question": "Shouldn’t a new US manufacturing of a new wrought iron pan be something you’re proud of?",
"answer": "It would take trying the pan, then redefining old ideas of wrought iron. But times change, sometimes for the better. These new pans are a very good example. Why wrought iron and not Cast iron has worked fine for hundreds of years. It is true cast iron has been fine for a very long time, and we love cast iron, in a nostalgic old way. Cast iron is however becoming obsolete, wrought iron does everything better in terms of what is important in an iron pan. Pro chefs have never used cast iron as their working skillets. Chefs all around the world use our wrought iron pans all day long as their working skillets. They simply can not use cast iron all day due to the weight. Our long comfortable vented handle stays much cooler than fat little cast handles…..\nWrought iron cooks and seasons like cast iron, it does however conduct heat better (faster and more even) than cast iron, and it will not crack like cast iron can. The big one: wrought iron is around half the weight of cast iron. For a short time we have a ‘Try Me’ special at a price never to be repeated for exactly this purpose: for $49 you can own a rare First Edition 7.5\" pan and try the difference for yourself. Like our Australian pans when we first launched 3 years ago, everybody came back to collect the rest of the range, and stopped using their old Teflon and cast iron pans."

"answer": "Absolutely. In fact, we recommend you get 3 similar quotes to compare before choosing your movers."

},
{
"question": "Where can I get boxes and packing from?",

{
"question": "What is the process of signing up to one of your packages?",
"answer": "The process is relatively simple. If you have decided what package or service you require click here to Sign Up and then follow the instructions. We will request an advance payment (this covers your first 2 months of service) as part of the sign up process and thereafter we will send out a registration pack in the post. 60 days. If you decide you no longer require our package services we offer a no quibbles refund of your advance payment and will not charge you for any work done or advice provided. We will initially ask for an advance payment, equivalent to 2 month’s fees upfront. Thereafter an electronic direct debit is set up for ongoing monthly fees."
},
{
"question": "Do I still need to continue paying you if I stop contracting or have a break?",
"answer": "If you have a break in contracting then we’re afraid you will have to continue paying our monthly fee. This is because despite you not earning for a period of time your accounts will still need to be produced and the relevant returns made to HMRC and Companies House. However, if you anticipate a break lasting for 6 months or more our monthly fee will be reduced by 50% from the start of the break until you start contracting again or cease to trade, whichever comes first."
},
{
"question": "What if I sign up to one of your packages mid way through my accounting year?",
"answer": "Our pay monthly package deals are normally applicable from the 1st month of your accounting period. So for example, if you're accounting period started on the 1st April 2015 and you sign up to us in September 2015, our charges may be retrospectively applied back to April 2015 and a catch up payment requested depending upon your circumstances and state of affairs. If you have not traded or made very few if any transactions between the point of incorporation/beginning of the company year and signing up with us then any retrospective catch up fee could be waived. A qualified accountant will be able to ascertain this for you when you speak to them. If you are switching from another firm of accountants and/or your records are fully up to date (i.e. you have full payroll records, VAT and bookkeeping all in order) then we would be willing to waive the catch up payment and act for you going forward. Once again this can be ascertained when you speak with a qualified accountant."
},
{
"question": "What if I decide to stop using Aidhan Accountancy?",
"answer": "If you decide to discontinue using us for any reason, you can cancel at any time. There are no tie in periods, exit fees or penalties. However, we will only ever refund monthly fees for cancellations during the 60 day guarantee period upon initial sign up. After the 60 day guarantee period, any monthly fees paid will not be refunded if you decide to cancel and we are then under no obligation to continue to act for you. We will return all relevant documents and data files to you."
},
{
"question": "How long does this take?",
"answer": "As long as you have decided upon the name of your company we can set this up within 24 hours of receipt of your information and identification (we do require a piece of photographic ID such as a passport picture as part of the money laundering regulations). Full payment is taken upfront and once your company has been created we will send you all the relevant documents (Articles of Association, Memorandum and Certificate of Incorporation) electronically via e-mail."
},
{
"question": "What is IR35 and how do I deal with it?",
"answer": "IR35 is much less of an issue than it first seemed but it’s not something that should be ignored either. Basically it tries to differentiate between genuine contractors and “disguised employees”. To find out more click here to access our downloadable IR35 guide. I am a professional contractor working under an umbrella company or a PAYE contractor."
},
{
"question": "Are these right for me or should I incorporate into a limited company?",
"answer": "It depends on your circumstances. If you are contracting for a short period of time or anticipate to generate less than £20,000 per year then quite often an umbrella company will suffice as it is administratively easier. However, if you are looking to contract for 6 months + and generate in excess of £20,000 income then a limited company will reap benefits by saving you tax and national insurance. Any expense that is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of your business is in principle allowable. However, please click here to access our downloadable guide to expenses for a plain English summary of what should and what should not be claimed."

Acting as a judge or coach in a mooting competition is an eligible educational activity. In order to qualify for Professionalism Hours, teaching activities must address topics of professional responsibility, ethics, practice management and/or equality, diversity and inclusion and be accredited by the Law Society. See CPD Accreditation Process for more information."
},
{
"question": "Is presenting an information session to clients or writing/editing client bulletins an eligible activity?",
"answer": "If presenting the information session or writing/editing client bulletins is primarily a \"teaching\" rather than a \"pitching\" activity, and enables the lawyer or paralegal to fulfill the definition of CPD, which requires that the activity maintain or enhance a lawyer's professional knowledge, skills, attitudes and ethics, then it is an eligible activity. If the educational content of the activity is minimal or basic, or if it is repeated with modest changes to a number of audiences, it is not eligible."
},
{

},
{
"question": "How do I report my EDI Professionalism Hours?",
"answer": "You report your EDI Professionalism Hours in the same way as all other CPD Hours – using the online Law Society Portal."
},
{
"question": "In the Portal, how do I report attending a program that has been accredited for both Professionalism Hours and EDI Professionalism Hours?",
"answer": "In the Portal, you should enter the EDI Professionalism Hours in the “EDI Hours” field only and you should only enter the Professionalism Hours that are not related to EDI in the “Professionalism Hours” field. For example, if you completed a program with 1 EDI Professionalism Hour and 2 Professionalism Hours, you should enter 2 under “Professionalism Hours” and 1 under “EDI Hours”."
},
{
"question": "Between 2018 and 2020, can I review my completed EDI Professionalism Hours in the Portal?",
"answer": "Yes. In 2018, the Portal will show the EDI Professionalism Hours that you have entered for the year. In 2019 and 2020, if you need to confirm the number of EDI Professionalism Hours that you entered in a previous year, you will be able to access these entries through the tabs at the top of the page by year."
},
{
"question": "How are excess EDI Professionalism Hours applied?",
"answer": "Any EDI Professionalism Hours reported in the Portal in excess of the 3 EDI Professionalism Hours that are required between 2018-2020 or the 1 EDI Professionalism Hour required each year from 2021 onward will be automatically applied to the lawyer or paralegal’s Professionalism Hours requirement for the reporting year. This is because EDI Professionalism Hours are a subset of Professionalism Hours. Any Professionalism Hours that have been entered into the Portal in excess of the 3 Professionalism Hours required each year will be automatically applied to the lawyer or paralegal's Substantive Hours requirement for that reporting year. It is important to note that Substantive Hours entered into the Portal in excess of the required 9 Substantive Hours will not be applied to the lawyer or paralegal's Professionalism Hours or EDI Professionalism Hours requirement."
},
{
"question": "What is the CPD EDI Requirement for lawyers or paralegals who are not in practice or providing legal services for all three years of the initial CPD EDI Requirement (2018-2020) or who do not practise or provide legal services for part of a reporting year thereafter?",
"answer": "You are encouraged to participate in CPD EDI Professionalism programming or alternate activities. However, only lawyers or paralegals who are in a 100% fee-paying category, who practise law or provide legal services, who provide legal services on a pro bono basis only or who are practising Life Members are required to fulfill the CPD EDI Requirement. The CPD EDI Requirement is prorated in the same way as Substantive or other Professionalism Hours. Lawyers are required to complete 45 minutes of Substantive CPD and 15 minutes of Professionalism CPD for each month or partial month in which they have a CPD requirement. Of the 15 minutes of Professionalism CPD required for each month or partial month in which the lawyer or paralegal has a CPD Requirement, a lawyer or paralegal’s CPD EDI Requirement is equal to 5 minutes. To calculate a lawyer or paralegal’s CPD EDI Requirement, the lawyer or paralegal should multiply the number of months (including partial months) in which they had a CPD Requirement by 5 minutes. EDI Professionalism Hours will be prorated in this way for both the initial three-year period (2018-2020) and annually thereafter."
},
{
"question": "Could you provide an example of how prorating a lawyer or paralegal’s CPD requirement (including EDI Professionalism Hours) works?",
"answer": "Consider a lawyer who is on a leave of absence from practice from January 1 to May 28, 2018 and returns to practice from May 29, 2018 to December 31, 2020. Even if a lawyer only practises for a partial month, the lawyer is subject to the full CPD Requirement for that month. The lawyer will have a CPD Requirement for 32 months total from 2018-2020 (8 months for 2018, 12 months for 2019 and 12 months for 2020). The lawyer’s CPD Requirement for 2018 will be 8 months multiplied by 45 minutes for Substantive CPD and 15 minutes for Professionalism CPD, which equals 6 Substantive Hours and 2 Professionalism Hours. The lawyer’s CPD Requirement for 2019 and 2020 will be 12 months for each of 2019 and 2020 (24 months total). Thus, the lawyer will be required to complete 9 Substantive Hours and 3 Professionalism Hours per year. The lawyer’s CPD EDI Requirement for 2018-2020 will be 32 months multiplied by 5 minutes, which equals 2 hours and 40 minutes. These EDI Professionalism Hours can be completed at any time from 2018-2020 and are included in the required Professionalism Hours from 2018-2020."
},
{
"question": "Do Accredited Providers of Professionalism Content need to apply for accreditation of EDI professionalism content where it is included in their programming?",
"answer": "No. Accredited Providers can deliver CPD programs containing EDI professionalism content without applying for accreditation of such content. However, Accredited Providers must ensure, as with all other professionalism content, that the EDI content included in the program is aligned with the Accreditation Criteria for Professionalism Hours . Accredited Providers should contact the Law Society’s CPD Accreditation department at [email protected] with any questions about whether a particular program qualifies for EDI Professionalism Hours."
},
{
"question": "Can Accredited Providers of Professionalism Content accredit programs that were delivered prior to the introduction of the new CPD EDI Requirement and that fall within the accreditation criteria for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion?",
"answer": "Yes. Accredited Providers who previously delivered a CPD professionalism program containing EDI content identified under the Accreditation Criteria for Professionalism Hours and who wish to continue to deliver it in 2018 and onwards (e.g., in an on-demand format), may indicate (in accordance with the Communication Guidelines for Providers) that the program contains EDI Professionalism Hours."
},
{
"question": "What is a Professionalism Case Study?",
"answer": "A Professionalism Case Study is a description of an actual situation in which a lawyer or paralegal is faced with a decision involving one or more ethical, professional responsibility or practice management issues."
},
{
"question": "Are the Professionalism Case Studies relevant to all practice areas?",
"answer": "Each Professionalism Case Study is set within a specific practice area, including Business, Civil Litigation, Criminal, Family, Labour, Personal Injury, Real Estate, Small Claims Court Litigation, Wills and Estates, and Workplace Safety and Insurance. The professional responsibility, ethics and practice management issues addressed in the Professionalism Case Studies are common to all areas of practice."
},
{
"question": "What can I learn from a Professionalism Case Study?",
"answer": "A Professionalism Case Study allows you to put yourself in the position of the lawyer or paralegal in the case to identify the problem, develop alternatives, and create an action plan for resolving the issues in accordance with your professional obligations under the Rules of Professional Conduct or The Paralegal Rules of Conduct."
},
{
"question": "How can I use a Professionalism Case Study?",
"answer": "Professionalism Case Studies can be used as the basis for group discussion in a variety of settings. Lawyers and paralegals may use Professionalism Case Studies as the basis for one-hour Study Group sessions. The Law Society strongly recommends that a facilitator be used to guide the Study Group sessions. For information and resources on facilitating a Study Group session, please contact the Law Society at [email protected]. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) providers, including firms, and law or paralegal associations, may use Professionalism Case Studies in programs that contain content involving professional responsibility, ethics and practice management."
},
{
"question": "Are the Professionalism Case Studies eligible for CPD accreditation?",
"answer": "Professionalism Case Studies are only eligible for accreditation when they are used in the context of Study Group sessions or programs involving two or more lawyers or paralegals. The Study Group session must be accredited in advance by the Law Society of Upper Canada. If you are a lawyer or paralegal who seeks to organize an accredited Study Group session, you must apply for accreditation at least 30 days in advance of the session date by submitting an Application for Accreditation - Alternate Eligible Educational Activities (PDF). If you are a CPD provider who seeks accreditation for a program in which a Professionalism Case Study will be used, you must apply for accreditation at least 30 days in advance of the program by submitting an Application for Program Accreditation (PDF) ."
},
{
"question": "Can I use the Professionalism Case Studies to fulfil my CPD professionalism requirement?",
"answer": "If you are the facilitator of a Professionalism Case Study Group session that has been accredited by the Law Society, you may count up to three hours of CPD credit for every hour of facilitation or teaching toward your annual CPD requirement. If you are a participant in a Professionalism Case Study session or program, you may count the hours that have been accredited by the Law Society toward your annual CPD requirement."

"question": "If my employer retaliates against me because I confronted him about not giving his employees rest periods, what can I do?",
"answer": "If your employer retaliates or discriminates against you in any way because you confronted him about not giving you or fellow employees rest periods, you can either file a discrimination complaint or retaliation complaint with the Labor Commissioner’s office or file a lawsuit in court against your employer. In California, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate or retaliate against employees for any reason, even if an employee files a rest period wage claim in California against the employer or threatens to file a wage claim. Joe works in California. He thinks that he should be getting 10-minute breaks for every 4-hour shift that he and his fellow employees work, but his employer refuses to let his employees have breaks. Joe confronts his employer about how he and his fellow employees don’t get rest periods. If Joe files a rest period wage claim in California or threatens to file a wage claim and his employer fires him, that is illegal retaliation under California law. Joe could file a discrimination or retaliation complaint against his employer or file a lawsuit. It is Joe’s right to stand up for his right to receive rest periods (perhaps even if he is wrong about the law) and file rest period wage claims in California. It is illegal for his employer to retaliate or discriminate against Joe in any way for complaining about the employer’s unlawful practices or filing a wage claim."

"question": "What is the ARHG alternative therapy database?",
"answer": "The ARHG alternative therapy database is a list of alternative therapy providers that meet a set of accreditation standards. It is a resource used by 25 health funds to inform them whether alternative therapy providers are appropriately trained and qualified to provide services to their health fund members. The health funds use the database, in conjunction with the wording of the fund member’s policy, to determine if claims for alternative therapy services can be paid."
},
{
"question": "How do I become a registered provider?",
"answer": "Alternative therapy associations have registered for accreditation with ARHG. Each month, the accredited associations provide ARHG with a list of their member providers that meet ARHG’s accreditation standards. This list is uploaded directly into the ARHG database each month. To become a registered provider with ARHG you must be a member of an ARHG accredited association, and you must meet the ARHG accreditation criteria. For further information, please refer to your association."

Myotherapy – the treatment of myofascial pain, injury and dysfunction affecting movement and mobility. Remedial therapy – the systematic assessment and treatment of the muscles, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues of the body to assist in rehabilitation, and pain and injury management.

{
"question": "Why is my credit / bank account showing more than one pending charge?",
"answer": "Unlike in-person transactions, online sales occur in two separate steps. When you place an order using a credit card, your information is submitted for an authorization. If your card issuer approves the authorization - confirming that your information matches and that there is sufficient credit - they place a hold/pending charge for that amount on your account record. Warning: if you submit an order multiple times, your card issuer or bank may accept multiple authorizations. This includes when you put in incorrect information (missing or wrong card verification number, a billing address that does not match your record with your card issuer, etc) that prevents an actual order from being completed. Your bank's policy determines how long the holds they issued remain in place. Orders are only captured to create a final charge on your account (converting the hold/pending to a charge) after orders are completed. This happens as orders are processed by shipping the order and the authorizations are captured. Note: This second step means that any duplicate authorizations are not charged. They ONLY show as hold/pending charges on your account. They will disappear from your account according to the policy of your card issuer or bank, but usually within 5 business days. Essentially, you are seeing their record as they keep track of your available funds to make sure that you do not go over limit. A phone number provides a way for us to quickly contact you if there is a problem with an order. Phone numbers can be important for international orders as they provide a way that you can be reached if there is a problem with your package at Customs or during delivery. Please note that some credit card issuers require a correct phone number for any transaction approval. Contact customer service with your request. Orders can be cancelled if they have not already been shipped. Please note: there is no need to cancel orders made by check/money order since the order is not complete unless we receive payment. We periodically clear out old, unpaid check/money order orders when they expire. We verify apparent duplicate orders before sending them out. Look for our email or phone call. Or you can contact customer service to make us aware of the problem if we haven't already contacted you. The first thing you should do is show any damage to the shipper for documentation. After that, contact us as soon as possible and we'll get things straightened out. The DVD is recorded as two separate audio tracks: voice and music. You may have to adjust your settings in some stereo systems to ensure that they are both being played. DVD players and formats vary. There are potential incompatibility issues, particularly when trying to play DVDs in computers and game players. Symptoms are freezing and not playing all or part of the disc."
},
{
"question": "Why do I have a problem playing DVDs on my computer?",
"answer": "We do not have any for sale at this time. There are no new copies of either edition available, though some may claim them as \"new\" when reselling the used, old copies. We don't actually recommend that you buy them as Starting Strength, 3rd edition is much better. There are many possible reasons for rejection of a good credit card and the trigger depends on the requirements of the card issuer and payment processor. Billing phone is incorrect or invalid. If something is still going crazy-wrong, please contact us and we'll try to find a way around the problem. International orders will sometimes have very specific problems with address matching. Please contact us for a workaround if you are having difficulty with an international order. These can sometimes be very tricky. We ship orders by the next business day after the order is made Monday through Friday. Shipping notices are sent to the email address entered during order placement. Notices are sent directly from stamps.com. If you do not receive the email contact us and we will resend the information. Yes, we are currently shipping products to international addresses that accept USPS International Mail. Please note: if your country is not listed as an option you must contact customer service with the specific items you wish to order. We will then check to see what specific restrictions are in place and whether or not we will be able to ship the products. Shipping terms are quite country specific. Shipping policies change. Some countries are not eligible for any shipment because of fraud/theft issues (eg Nigeria). Canada: Canadian addresses must contain the province. These are listed in the drop down menu on the address screen. Other countries: After you select your country on the country drop down menu, an open box for state/province will be shown. Fill in the information for your state/region/province/shire in the box below. If you do not use these in your postal system, please enter \"none\". Likewise, if your country does not use postal codes, please enter \"none\". Shipping rates are determined by the US POSTAL SERVICE based on item weight, distance, and international agreements. The cost is determined in real time and reflects the best price that is available. Orders are shipped by US Priority Mail or as First Class Packages. You will be given options that show the rates for each service that is available during checkout. First-Class International Package Service: Available for shipments under 4 pounds. Rates are calculated based on destination and package weight. Priority Mail International Service: Available for up to 70 lb shipments. Price is calculated by the USPS and varies with weight and destination. The USPS also has flat-rate options which can yield less costs for heavier orders. Priority Service is more reliable and quicker than First-Class International Service. Poster shipping: Posters are shipped separately from other items in an order. They are considered separately in calculating shipping charges. They are shipped via First-Class International Package Service. More than one poster can be shipped in the same order. The USPS lists \"6-10 business days\" as the ESTIMATED time until delivery for Priority International Service. Delivery time for First-Class International is listed as \"delivery varies by destination.\" Actual shipping time varies by country, region, and season. You can expect service to be slower during the holiday season (mid-November through mid-January) due to dramatic increases in mail volume. Please note that USPS.com updates its order tracking at specific points and not after the package has left the US - any updates after this depend on your country (see below). The USPS tracking number can often be used for package identification with your country's mail service, but generally not through online tracking. Please contact your postal service directly for information. \"Electronic shipping info received\" -- Package is shipped, customer shippping confirmation is emailed, and sale is completed. \"Acceptance\" -- verification by the USPS that they have custody of the package. Intermediate \"Processed at/arrived at/depart Sort Facilities\" notes are made as the package moves between the shipment point and end of US processing. These may be entirely absent when packages are swiftly moved. \"Processed through Sort Facility\" AND Location = ISC CHIGAGO IL\" -- This status shows the time and location that package left the US for most types of mail. An alternate site is Jamaica, NY, used for First Class International Packages. Once your package has left the US, these updates depend entirely on your country's mail service -- often they are not provided until *after* the package is delivered. International mail is out of the US within days (4 or less unless weather interferes). Any package with a labeling or postage problem is returned, not held. This means that typical records during package transit will show current activity up to the point they leave the US."
},
{
"question": "What next?",
"answer": "This depends on your country's Customs Office and local delivery. Customs may delay, hold, or inspect mail. They may directly assess taxes and other fees. Your in-country mail delivery service may collect for the Customs office or have other requirements before your package can be delivered. Packages are often held by local post offices. If there are taxes/fees, find out how notification and processing for any taxes due will occur. Your package might be held up because you have missed a notice you were not expecting. Contact your local postman/post office to check for held packages, get an idea of how long your country's Customs processing might take, and make inquiries. *IF* your country uses the USPS tracking number in their system, your postman may be able to locate the package within the Customs and/or local mail service and let you know when to expect it. No. Don't bother asking. All importers are responsible for import and other taxes, as well as Customs fees. If you have any question about taxes & fees charged by your country, search for the tax laws that apply to you online, or make inquiries at your local tax office. Totals are marked in US Dollars. The actual merchandise cost and the shipping costs are broken down for your Customs office. If you want to see how those numbers translate for your country, please check the costs using a currency converter. You can find these on Google. Here's the link to one on Yahoo: Yahoo Currency Converter. The options below may work out to a better choice for you depending on other items you are purchasing, shipping considerations and/or your tax liability. Standard Shipping (available for books and DVDs only) is US Postal service Media Mail, 5-21 days, 5-10 is typical, 5 or less is common if the shipping address is near our facility. If you want it \"fast\", choose Priority Mail. If time is not a big factor, choose Standard Shipping = Media Mail or First Class for books or the DVD, respectively. Priority Mail is always recommended for Alaska and Hawaii. Costs are the same as for domestic mail. Delivery time depends mostly on the military mail service. SELECT \"United States\" as the ship country for these addresses as they are treated by the Postal Service as US mail. The pattern APO, AE 99999 corresponds to city, state, zip code. IMPORTANT: You must provide the correct information as we ship to the address you provide - as for any NOT LISTED in the drop down, you must choose \"NOT LISTED\" and actually fill in the information by typing it in. The seminar provides theoretical and practical instruction for the five basic barbell lifts. All attendees have the opportunity to learn the lifting model for each lift and practice it as both an athlete and a coach over the weekend. There is also plenty of time to interact with Mark Rippetoe and the coaching staff to ensure questions and special concerns regarding training are addressed. Typically ~1/2 of attendees coach trainees and 1/2 come purely for improvement of their own lifting. Experience levels vary widely across both groups. Those attending to improve their coaching include attendees just beginning to learn and practice strength coaching to those with decades of experience. Lifters range from those who have not ever performed the lifts to advanced-level lifters with many years of training under the bar. For feedback from previous attendees please see the Starting Strength Seminar Testimonials on this site or discussions on the Starting Strength Events Forum.

"question": "Why is Your Law Firm Only Filing Individual Complaints?",

"question": "What are the luggage limits?",
"answer": "As different airlines have varying policies, you should check with your carrier for restrictions and allowances. Usually, each trans-Pacific passenger is allowed two check-in bags totaling 106 inches over the three dimensions, and one carry-on bag not over 39 inches. There is no free luggage allowance for holders of infant tickets. For domestic China and intra-Asia flights, you are allowed to check in one piece of luggage less than 20 kilograms (44 pounds) total weight, and retain one piece of carry on luggage, of not more than 10 lb. The fee for extra baggage or overweight baggage could be so high as to be prohibitive. The liability of the airlines is limited for lost or damaged luggage. Passengers may apply for insurance coverage above the minimum value for checked luggage. There is no luggage restriction on domestic trains, but travelers who are not part of an organized tour will have to carry their own bags as few porters are available to help. Travelers to China are advised to take only one suitcase and one carry-on bag. I plan to arrive at 7 p.m. and need to get to the airport before 8 a.m. the next day."

{
"question": "What is Better Streets, Safer City?",
"answer": "The Oklahoma City Council voted to call a special election Sept. 12, 2017 for voters to consider investing more than $1.2 billion in critical infrastructure like streets and sidewalks, including an annual $26 million boost for public safety and other day-to-day operations. A 10-year, $967 million bond package to invest in streets, police and fire facilities, parks and other basic needs. The bond package will succeed the almost-complete 2007 bond program. Oklahoma City voters approved all of the measures. For the bond program, the money comes from property taxes. About 14 percent of your property tax goes to the City of Oklahoma City, and the rest goes to schools, the county and other government entities. For example, the owner of a $150,000 house pays about $248 each year for Oklahoma City’s portion of the property tax. The City uses the money to pay for bonds. For the sales tax initiatives, the money comes from purchases of goods and services within Oklahoma City limits or online sales subject to local sales tax. The City of Oklahoma City uses bonds to pay for building and rebuilding streets, bridges, sidewalks, parks, public safety facilities and more. Oklahoma City’s strong credit rating means it can issue bonds at low interest rates for a sustainable and efficient funding source."
},
{
"question": "What does the permanent 1/4 cent sales tax pay for?",
"answer": "The permanent ¼ cent sales tax is invested in the City’s General Fund. About two thirds of the General Fund goes to public safety services, with the rest paying for other basic services like animal control, parks and transit. The Council intends to use the funds to hire 129 additional police officers, and hire 57 more firefighters to staff two additional fire stations and bring an idled fire engine back into service. The funds allow the Council to restore essential services reduced while sales tax declined."
},
{
"question": "What does the penny sales tax extension pay for?",
"answer": "Over 27 months, the temporary penny sales tax will generate $240 million of revenue for better and safer streets, sidewalks and trails for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. It will fund $168 million for street resurfacing, $24 million for streetscapes, $24 million for sidewalks, $12 million for trails and $12 million for bicycle infrastructure."
},
{
"question": "How were the bond projects chosen?",
"answer": "Bond projects were determined based on resident survey results, street and bridge ratings, planning studies, the City Council’s strategic priorities and operating impact."
},
{
"question": "How is this different from MAPS 3 and other MAPS programs?",
"answer": "The bond package is for basic needs and critical infrastructure every community needs for stability, growth and safety. It's funded by property taxes, whereas MAPS programs have been funded by a sales tax. The permanent sales tax is different from MAPS programs because it's a permanent tax dedicated to police, fire and other day-to-day City services. MAPS programs have been temporary taxes for ambitious capital improvement projects that improve our quality of life. The temporary sales tax extension is similar to the temporary public safety sales tax program that came before MAPS for Kids. The temporary penny sales tax extension and the previous temporary public safety taxes are both shorter than MAPS programs and fund important capital projects -- in this case, streets, sidewalks, trails and bicycle infrastructure -- without borrowing money."
},
{
"question": "Was there a bond program before?",
"answer": "Yes. Voters approved an $835.5 million bond program in 2007 to fund critical projects much like the 2017 program. Most of those projects are finished, under construction or in design now, and the 2017 program will continue moving us forward."
},
{
"question": "Does this fund every infrastructure need in Oklahoma City?",
"answer": "No. It’s impossible to address every need across Oklahoma City’s 620 square miles with any single bond program or sales tax initiative. That’s why resident feedback, planning studies and other tools were essential for identifying priorities. Construction on some of the projects will start about a year after the election. Construction is scheduled to end on bond projects near the end of the 2020s, and construction will likely end on the temporary sales tax initiative projects within a couple of years of the end of tax collections."
},
{
"question": "Are there plans for unexpected needs?",
"answer": "Yes. A portion of the bond program is for unlisted projects to provide a contingency to address unexpected needs. Experience tells us we’ll find needs that weren’t apparent while making project plans, and that’s how we’ll fund projects to meet those needs."
},
{
"question": "Do the project budgets include projected cost inflation?",
"answer": "The City of Oklahoma City is primarily funded by taxes. Sales tax revenue makes up most of the General Fund, which pays for the City's day-to-day operations. Other important sources of revenue include use tax, property tax and hotel/motel tax. With the 1/4 cent sales tax increase approved as part of the Better Streets, Safer City election, the local sales tax in Oklahoma City is 4.125 percent. Of that, 2 1/4 cents goes to the General Fund, 3/4 cent goes to Public Safety, 1/8 cent goes to the OKC Zoo, and 1 cent goes to MAPS 3. Hotel/Motel Tax helps promote OKC as a tourism and convention destination and is charged for hotel stays. Bringing tourism and conventions to OKC helps boost our economy. Use tax is due on goods purchased outside of Oklahoma and brought into Oklahoma City and consumed in situations when no sales tax was charged. An example is something you buy online from another state and no sales tax is charged, but you use the item in OKC once it's delivered. Go to okc.gov/bettersafer or call the Public Information & Marketing Office at (405) 297-2578. Get email updates about the Better Streets, Safer City: the Sept. 12 Bond and Sales Tax Election."

"question": "Is elmah.io a high available site?",
"answer": "Yes. elmah.io is running on Windows Azure. Websites in Windows Azure are highly available and distributed across data centers and continents. Below the cover, elmah.io stores its data in a cluster of Elasticsearch instances. Yes. Every error logged from your website are send to elmah.io through HTTPS. The elmah.io website is accessible through HTTPS only. Besides HTTPS we are working with an external security specialist in order to make sure, that your errors are kept safe at all times. For more details, check out Security. Be aware that you should never give away your API key and log id to someone outside your team or corporation. API keys are used for getting errors through our public API, why this id should always be a secret. Expand individual errors and click the Hide option in the tools menu. This hides the error until you decide to unhide it. Expand individual errors and click the Delete option in the tools menu. This removes an error for good. Navigate to your log settings and select the Actions tab. Beneath this tab you can clear your entire log. Use the Ignore Filter or Rules feature to ignore certain errors when they are logged."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between ELMAH and elmah.io?",
"answer": "ELMAH stands for Error Logging Modules and Handlers for ASP.NET and is the original and very successful open source project for logging errors from .NET web applications. elmah.io is a cloud service offering logging to the cloud from every web framework already supporting ELMAH. More details here: ELMAH and elmah.io differences."
},
{
"question": "Is elmah.io developed by the guys developing ELMAH?",
"answer": "No. A group of talented developers are maintaining and doing new development of ELMAH. elmah.io is maintained by us, though we love to help out on the ELMAH framework as well. Lucky for us, the maintainers behind ELMAH have been kind enough to send us multiple pull requests on the parts of elmah.io which are open source. Yes and no. The persistence part and the elmah.io website are not open source. We open sourced a couple of the components we have written in order to make elmah.io work, as well as our NuGet packages for logging errors to elmah.io. A lot of the internals of elmah.io are based on open source and we love making contributions to other projects."
},
{
"question": "Is elmah.io supported in other languages than .NET?",
"answer": "elmah.io builds on top of ELMAH, which is an error logging framework for .NET web applications. Integrating with elmah.io from other languages than .NET is possible, if someone wrote an integration for ELMAH from that language or web framework. If no integrations are there, you can use our API to manually log errors to elmah.io."
},
{
"question": "Can I browse errors from outside elmah.io?",
"answer": "Using the Rules tab of the log settings, you can execute custom rules each time a new error occurs. This way you can send yourself an email or make a HTTP request when new errors are logged. ELMAH offers an error browser as well. This browser is available by visiting /elmah.axd on your own site (available for ASP.NET / MVC / Web API only). We’ve developed an elmah.io Visual Studio extension, making it possible to browse your log(s) from within Visual Studio. Finally we provide an API, making it possible to integrate anything with elmah.io. Please let us know if you build something cool. Every framework supporting ELMAH also supports elmah.io. Besides these, we maintain a range of integrations for popular logging frameworks like log4net, NLog and Serilog. We do a lot to test elmah.io with as many frameworks as possible and love writing about it. Find out how to integrate with elmah.io from various frameworks, by visiting docs.elmah.io. The Input API key and Log Id dialog doesn't show during install."
},
{
"question": "Why not?",
"answer": "You already have elmah.io configuration in your web.config file. Look for the element. Powershell does not have sufficient privileges to execute the install.ps1 script from the elmah.io NuGet package. Start Visual Studio as administrator or set ExecutionPolicy."
},
{
"question": "Can I upgrade my subscription after I sign up?",
"answer": "Of course. When you upgrade your subscription, elmah.io automatically generate the difference between what you've already paid and the new plan. Yes. You pay for either 1 month or 1 year. If you downgrade your subscription, you will be automatically downgraded on the next payment. No. We provide 21 days of free trial but after that, you will need to pay if you want to continue to use elmah.io. Even though it would be cool, we cannot host a lot of logs and keep innovate on the platform for free. We really hope that you want to help us keep the releases on elmah.io flowing, by checking out our plans and pricing page and consider purchasing a paid plan. In most cases you can't. Please try out elmah.io by signing up for the trial plan. When you feel satisfied, upgrade to a paid plan for the full monty. Check out our Refund Policy for details."

{
"question": "Can i rely on the Google mobile-friendly test?",
"answer": "You can run the Google mobile-friendly test and rely on the result only after a proper configuration of the robots.txt. The main issue is about the Google test itself, because if the robots.txt is not properly configured the test result will not be correct and reliable, being all css files blocked and disallowed by the robots.txt. In this case the Google test sees the mobile site as it's not in reality, as shown in the 2 screenshots. This affects all Joomla! versions prior to Joomla! 3.4 that has been updated and fixed for the Google mobile test. The first thing to do before run this kind of tests would be allowing Googlebot to access css resources. After that, the test can be repeated ensuring that the Google test will be able to evaluate the real site as is. Until you don't allow Google to access every real resources used to style mobile layout you can't rely on this test. You can take this site as an example http://storejextensions.org/, if you run the Google mobile test for our site you will see that it's reported as mobile friendly and the Google preview is exactly the same as the site appears on mobile, indeed all the css resources are not blocked for Googlebot. to this Google test shipped recently, until the release of Joomla 3.4. And the 'templates' folder is completely blocked to Google, so remove the line to allow access. After that the effect won't be immediate, Google requires 2-3 days to refresh the robots.txt. Once refreshed the robots.txt you can repeat the Google mobile test and check real results."

"question": "Is there a difference between the storm drain and sewer system?",
"answer": "Yes, an important difference. Stormwater and all the pollutants that flow from our homes, parking lots and streets to the gutter into the storm drains discharge directly into our creeks and other water bodies, without being treated. Water and pollutants that flow into the sanitary sewer, such as water from our bathtubs and toilet, are sent to wastewater treatment facilities before the water is discharged into local creeks and rivers. 2."
},
{
"question": "What is a watershed and how do I affect it?",
"answer": "A watershed is an area of land that catches and drains water into a creek, stream or river via direct runoff. As stormwater flows over land and into the storm drain or across the watershed and into the creek, it can carry polluted urban runoff such as used motor oil and grease, pesticides, trash and other harmful debris. 3."
},
{
"question": "Why should I recycle used motor oil?",
"answer": "Recycling the motor oil from your car, truck, motorcycle, boat, RV or lawnmower is one way that you can demonstrate your commitment to protect the environment for future generations while conserving energy resources. Used motor oil contains heavy metals and other harmful contaminates that negatively impact the environment. 4. There’s oil in the street in front of my house."
},
{
"question": "What should I do about it?",
"answer": "If you can’t determine who is responsible for the pollution, sprinkle it with kitty litter, sweep up the soiled absorbent and place it in a household hazardous waste container for disposal at a household hazardous waste facility near you. For more instructions, contact Stormwater Quality Management. 5."
},
{
"question": "Can I drain my pool into the storm drain?",
"answer": "Only if the pool water is dechlorinated and free of other chemicals. Otherwise is should go to the sanitary sewer. Check with your local sanitary sewer facility for requirements for draining into the sewer system. 6. Leaves and yard clipping are organic."
},
{
"question": "Why can’t I put them down the storm drain?",
"answer": "When organic and/or yard waste decays in water, the “breakdown” process removes oxygen from the water that is necessary for the health of all aquatic species from microorganisms to fish. Essentially, it robs the aquatic life of oxygen and suffocates them. 7."
},
{
"question": "If I can’t dump left over chemicals into the sanitary sewer, what can I do with them?",
"answer": "Take them to your local household hazardous waste facility or to one of the collection events which are regularly held throughout the county. 8."
},
{
"question": "Why shouldn’t I wash my car at home, I use biodegradable soap?",
"answer": "When washing cars (PDF), the water runoff can enter the storm drains. This puts pollutants such as grease/oil, dirt, metals and soap to our local creeks. Even biodegradable soaps require oxygen to breakdown, depleting our creeks of the oxygen fish and other organisms need to survive. Also, just because the soap breaks down, doesn’t mean it breaks down into components that should be in the water. It is best to take your car to a car wash where the water is discharged to the sanitary sewer system or wash your car on a lawn or other surface where the water can be drained down and filtered through the soil. 9."
},
{
"question": "It’s okay to rinse my paint supplies out in the gutter, right?",
"answer": "No, it is not okay. All paint equipment needs to be cleaned in a sink that is plumbed to the sanitary sewer. Any sink in your house should do. Also, water based paints can be dried out and put in the garbage. But, oil-based paints should be disposed of at a household hazardous waste site. For further instructions, contact Stormwater Quality. 10. What am I supposed to do with my dirty mop water; I don’t want to dump it in my clean sink. If something is too dirty or “gross” for you to want to dump in a sink in your home, it is definitely not acceptable for the storm drain. The water should go into the sink or pour it onto your yard or dirt to soak into the ground. Remember, only rain down the storm drain! Learn more on our Household Hazardous Waste website."

"question": "Why would anyone bother using UNC paths or mapped drive letters?",
"answer": "Some of the utilities being offered by other users require being able to access the video recording directory where a recording is stored as if it were a local directory when the utility is used on a client. So, if you specify the server's local directory \"E:\\Videos\" as a video directory, the client will expect to see any files for the utility in its own local \"E:\\Videos\" directory. By using UNC or mapped drives, this problem is resolved. Essentially, this is just an extended version of moving a recording file. When done, the recording directory path can be changed to a different path on the same drive or even to another hard drive and all the recordings will be referenced at the name of the new recording directory instead of their original locations. After all files have been moved successfully: if the original location is empty, you can remove it from the list of Video Directories and then delete it from the disk. Once the recordings are recognized by SageTV in the new location (check the Recording Details screen to see where SageTV believes a file is located), you can also remove the drive, if that is part of the reorganization. This is essentially an extremely extended version of moving a recording file. Copy wiz.bin from the old computer, replacing the one on the new computer. (Found in the SageTV directory.) Do NOT copy sage.properties from the old computer. Check the SageTV Recordings menu to make sure the recordings are listed and play properly. On the old PC, if using SageTV v6.2 or later, use the repair_mismatched_media_filenames property, as described in this post. For versions prior to v6.2, ignore this step. Note for UNC Video Directory paths: If you are getting rid of the old system completely, such that it will no longer be on the network, you must first change the video directories back to using a local drive letter style of naming. If SageTV does not have access to the file's original location, SageTV will not recognize the file in a new location. See the above questions of this thread and return to using local \"drive:\\path\" style naming. Make sure the make_all_mediafiles_local property is set to true in the new PC's sage.properties file. After a hard drive crash or some event that causes a drive to be no longer accessible by SageTV, SageTV may still list the recordings that were on that drive. These phantom recordings can be removed by letting SageTV pretend to see the drive at another location, or by simply using the 'delete' command on the recordings. As noted in the above posts and some FAQs, SageTV must be able to see a recording's original location in order to determine that it is no longer there. If the drive letter no longer exists, then you could add a new drive and assign it the missing drive letter (or temporarily reassign some drive to that letter). When SageTV restarts, it should then note that the recordings are no longer on that disk and remove them from the list of recordings. If there isn't another drive to add, map a path to that drive letter (remember: service mode cannot access mapped drive letters). If the old recording directory used a UNC path, recreate the UNC path at another location. Once SageTV sees the empty drive and clears the old recordings, you can remove the temporary path. If it turns out to be too much trouble to create the missing recording directory path, simply use the Delete command to get rid of entries whose files you know are no longer around. Be careful not to delete any real recordings, of course! Another option: use the advanced_video_file_recovery property from this FAQ -- it should dump recordings for files that it can no longer see when using that property."

{
"question": "How long will my child need to attend therapy?",
"answer": "This is very dependent on your child’s particular profile. Our therapist will be regularly reviewing your child’s progress, and feedback and discussion with yourself as a parent is an important part of ongoing therapy. Many children move from individual sessions to group sessions before concluding therapy."
},
{
"question": "How often will my child need to attend therapy?",
"answer": "For most families, it is recommended to attend one one-hour session each week, to maintain the intensity of the therapy and support. Attending less frequently can result in smaller or slower gains for your child. However we understand that each child’s needs and family situation vary, and your therapist will discuss their recommendations with you at your child’s assessment."
},
{
"question": "What improvements can I expect to see?",
"answer": "This is very dependent on the individual profile of your child. We will work with you as a family towards common goals for your child, discussed initially at your child’s assessment, and continually updated during sessions. Research demonstrates that intensive programs lead to better outcomes. With this in mind, the therapists coach the parents in sessions to provide them with the skills to implement this approach at home."
},
{
"question": "How can I be sure that this approach is right for my child?",
"answer": "We advise you to review information on all different approaches before making a decision, as taking on a therapeutic approach is an investment of both time and finances. If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us on 02 9418 9995 or by email on [email protected]; we will get a therapist in touch with you to discuss whether this approach is the right one for your family."
},
{
"question": "Will you help my child with handwriting issues?",
"answer": "We will look at the underlying profile of your child which can lead to challenges in skills. If handwriting is a concern for your child, we will look at the underlying reasons and address these first, as well as providing information for you to continue work with at home."
},
{
"question": "Can you help my child with sensory issues?",
"answer": "Yes. All of our treatment rooms are set up as sensory rooms, and our therapists are trained in understanding and treating each child’s individual profile."
},
{
"question": "Can you help my child with feeding issues?",
"answer": "Yes. Our therapists are trained in understanding and treating feeding issues and can help with many areas, from limited diets/picky eating to improving the mechanics of your child’s feeding skills such as chewing and swallowing."
},
{
"question": "Can I request a specific therapist?",
"answer": "Yes, however you may need to wait longer for sessions, as this will of course limit our ability to match to your availability. Please also consider that many of our therapists only work certain days of the week or have most of their session times filled by existing clients."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to attend these sessions with my child?",
"answer": "We require that at least one parent or carer attend each session. This is because a large part of the therapy service provided involves coaching the parents or carers, as well as discussion and feedback. The exception is in peer group sessions – these focus on therapist-supported peer interaction, and do not involve the parent during the main body of the session."
},
{
"question": "What can I expect at my child’s therapy session?",
"answer": "This is very variable based on your child’s needs, overall and at any given session. Any session may include such activities as: equipment play, play with symbolic toys, sensory play, or many other activities. Your therapist will work with you during these sessions, through discussion and co-operation, to create the right level of challenge for your child, and to meet your child’s needs, often in multiple ways with one activity."
},
{
"question": "What do I need to do?",
"answer": "Generally, we will only see your child for one hour per week. A large part of our therapy approach is parent coaching; teaching you the skills to continue this approach at home and in the community, so that your child can receive this fantastic input consistently throughout all areas of their life. We recommend that our families take blocks of twenty minutes to play using the Floortime approach. This consistency of care, at home and through the week, is what can help you to see the results that this program is capable of creating for your family."
},
{
"question": "If I can’t make my session, is there a cancellation fee?",
"answer": "If you can’t make your appointment time, we will attempt to reschedule you for another appointment that week. If we are unable to do so, and we have not been given 24 hours’ notice, we will need to charge a cancellation fee. If you or your child are unwell, we understand that you cannot plan around illness, but appreciate as much notice as possible."
},
{
"question": "Will my therapist visit my home or my child’s school/preschool/daycare?",
"answer": "All of our regular sessions are held in our therapy offices. However, on request, your therapist can look into doing a visit to your child’s school/preschool/daycare, or to your home, to observe and to make recommendations."
},
{
"question": "What happens in a peer group session?",
"answer": "When your child is ready for peer group sessions, your therapist will begin looking for a suitable peer partner/group and time. We match our peer groups very carefully, and will not offer a peer group until we are confident that this will be a good match and provide the right level of challenge for each child. We then need to find a time that works for both families as well as the therapist. Once the peer group is ready to proceed, this will begin with a trial session, and if the children prove to be a good match, the peer group will continue. In the peer session, parents are generally not included, except for a brief period at the end of the session (the last 5-10 minutes) when your therapist will discuss the session with you. Your child will come into the therapy room with their peer/peers, and the therapist will facilitate (rather than lead) a play session between these children. This is a great way to help your child develop the social skills which will support them throughout their life, in a controlled and supportive environment."
},
{
"question": "What happens in a social camp session?",
"answer": "These work similarly to an extended peer group session, with a larger group of children and for two hours per day for a week. During this time, play between the children is facilitated by a number of therapists, who will support the children through this more complex situation. Camp also includes snack time, outdoors play (weather dependant,) and can include water play or crafts."
},
{
"question": "Can my child attend social camp in the holidays without attending regular sessions throughout the term?",
"answer": "Yes, in particular for those families who are distant to the Kids World offices in Sydney; however, as our social camps are matched very carefully, we will need to see your child for an evaluation at least two weeks beforehand."
},
{
"question": "My child is being seen by another professional – will the Kids World therapist be able to communicate with other professionals to ensure consistent care for my child?",
"answer": "Yes. Our staff will be more than happy to communicate with other professionals at your request, regarding your child’s care. We feel that co-ordinating care, and allowing for flexibility and the ability to integrate other approaches, can be of great benefit to your family."
},
{
"question": "What are your office hours?",
"answer": "We are able to offer sessions during business hours, 9 am – 5 pm on Monday to Friday. Please be aware that the 3 pm and 4 pm sessions are in high demand and have a waiting list; many schools are willing to allow your child to leave a little early or come in a little late one day of the week to attend a therapy session. We aim to meet your needs with these questions – please feel free to contact us on 02 9418 9995 or on [email protected] if you have other questions we can help with."

"question": "How do I get involved?",
"answer": "Terrific! The first thing you should know is that you don't have to take theatre classes at Herndon High School to take part in most of the school productions. There are main stage shows in the fall and spring as well as a children's theatre production in the winter. Watch for audition notices. There will be posters around the school, morning announcements, and postings on this website. You may also contact the HHS Theatre Director. I do chorus/sports/dance after school."
},
{
"question": "May I still participate?",
"answer": "Absolutely! Most rehearsals are immediately after school. If your activities happen later in the day, you should be fine. Also, the theatre and chorus departments work closely together on scheduling, and instructors try to be very flexible, asking you to list your preexisting commitments when you tryout."
},
{
"question": "What's involved in trying out?",
"answer": "Everyone who wants a role in a production has to audition. You'll be asked to perform a one-minute monologue from the 20th or 21st century. If the show is a musical, you'll also have to sing and dance. Don't worry! Before every musical audition, there is a workshop where you will be taught a dance and will be given song options."
},
{
"question": "What's a monologue, and where do I find one?",
"answer": "A monologue is just a speaking part. You'll be playing a character and speaking some lines to another character or the audience. It could be dramatic or comedic. Pick a monologue with which you're comfortable. There are lots of places to find monologues. Try the library, the Internet, and local bookstores."
},
{
"question": "What else may I do?",
"answer": "There are a ton of things that go into producing a play or musical. This means you have lots of options—set construction, props, costumes, make-up, run crew, and/or stage management. If you take the technical theater class, you may also work with lighting and sound."
},
{
"question": "Or just the summer theatre program?",
"answer": "Yes, of course you may! We're betting, however, that once you get bitten by the theatre bug, just one production won't be enough. Lots of students participate in only the fall or the spring production, and many love the summer theatre program, when they have time to immerse themselves in the whole experience."

"question": "Family Dentistry > FAQs > Periodontal Treatment > What gum disease treatment options are available to me?",
"answer": "At Royal Oak Family Dentistry, our mission is to stop gum disease before it starts; therefore, we place emphasis on preventative care measures. If you do develop periodontitis, we are equipped with the latest treatment methods to restore you to health. To determine what form of gum disease treatment is right for you, Dr. Chalasani will evaluate the condition of your gums and make a thoughtful recommendation. The necessary treatment approach often depends on what stage of advancement the disease has progressed to. The earliest form of gum disease is known as gingivitis. You may be able to eradicated gingivitis and reverse its effects through simply intensifying your daily oral care routine. Dr. Chalasani will be able to offer you recommendations on how to improve your daily care. In more advanced cases, a deep cleaning treatment may be necessary. This deep cleaning process is called scaling and root planing. During scaling, Dr. Chalasani scrapes away harmful plaque from below the surface of your gums – where an ordinary tooth brush can’t reach. Root planing refers to the process of scraping away the rough surfaces on the tooth’s roots where bacteria can collect and infect. Dr. Chalasani may also recommend the use of antimicrobial medication in order to manage the disease. The most advanced cases of gum disease may require surgical methods."

"question": "How Much Do Tree Services Cost in Spokane?",
"answer": "Although Spokane is located firmly in the Pacific Northwest, its position between two large mountain ranges gives it a climate all its own. Caring for trees in this combination of semi-arid and cool-summer Mediterranean environments can be overwhelming, but local professionals can save the day by offering tree trimming, tree removal and even stump removal. Use this guide to better price tree services in Spokane, Washington. There are several reasons why property owners might want to rid their land of a tree. Old trees can be a danger to structures, or they could be in the way of new construction. Either way, hiring professionals to bring down the trees safely is often the best course of action, which averages $487 to $641. When they do so, homeowners can even opt to keep the wood and have it chopped for future use. Although a stump is much smaller in size than an entire tree, removing it can still be difficult unless you have all the right equipment. Professionals use a large commercial grinder to eliminate the stump in minutes, and having more stumps removed at once can bring down the overall price per piece. Tree owners can expect to pay about $100 per stump. Trees in Spokane require several different types of maintenance and care in order to survive during cold winters and thrive in the spring. Some trees require pruning to get existing branches adequate nutrition, and other trees need to be trimmed for aesthetic purposes. Professional tree trimming and maintenance will run tree owners $472 to $664 on average. Spokane has a fascinating climate that is a result of relatively low rainfall for the region, shifting elevations, summer temperatures as high as 100 degrees and winter days with snow and temperatures below freezing. This unique ecosystem makes caring for trees overwhelming at times, but the reality is that a handy guide like this one can make it easier to pick thriving trees, have a beautiful landscape and abide by all local tree guidelines and regulations. Like most cities, Spokane has some tree removal regulations in place to protect the area’s canopy and maintain the greenery of the city. That being said, residents do not need to acquire permits for tree or stump removal that is entirely on their property. According to the Spokane Municipal Code, however, licensed tree trimmers that take more than 30 minutes to an hour for tree removal may need to apply for a permit, especially if the work will be done on or near a busy road or intersection. To remove street trees, even if their branches are on your property, a permit will be required. Keep in mind that removing trees should ideally be done in the autumn, which allows the ground to recover by the following spring. Residents in Spokane have a choice of energy providers, but the largest company in the area is Avista Utilities. Since their maintenance crews handle thousands of miles of roads, power lines and trees, they ask that residents contact them with information regarding diseased or dying trees near power lines or branches that need to be trimmed, all of which will be done at no cost to the homeowner. When planting trees near power lines or rights of way, Avista also recommends that only trees that mature at less than 20 feet be chosen to reduce the need for trimming or power line damage in the future. Spokane has a fantastic climate for growing a variety of fruit trees, but aspiring gardeners should look specifically for options that can handle both hot summer temperatures and winter days that hover around freezing. Some of the top fruit trees for the area, according to the Washington State University Spokane County Extension, include Gala and Spartan apples, Bing and Rainier cherries, Bosc and Hosui pears, Gold bar and Tilton apricots and New Haven peaches. In 2013, the Spokane Park Board did a complete tree inventory of the city. During that process, they discovered that the city was home to more than 86,000 trees, which they valued at a whopping $382 million. They also located the tallest trees in the city, which are two Ponderosa pines that stand at 140 feet in total height. According to Washington State University, there are a number of pests that can affect the look and health of trees in the Spokane area. Some of the biggest problems that property owners should look for include blister beetles, pine beetles, aphids and Dutch elm disease. The United States Department of Agriculture, or USDA, has a definitive ranking system for ecosystems as well as trees. Spokane is ranked as a 5b, which means that trees that thrive in the area will be as close to that number as possible. Tree ranked at 8a or above will likely suffer in the winter, and trees with ranking below 3a might suffer without adequate rain or in the hot summer temperatures."

https://www.drive-france.com/faqs/eurotunnel/ | [
{
"question": "So what is Eurotunnel and why would you take the Eurotunnel as opposed to the ferry?",
"answer": "Eurotunnel is the passenger and freight rail service that runs from Folkstone to Calais (well, Coquelles to be precise). By ‘passenger’ we mean people in/on cars, motorbikes, vans, coaches, campervans etc. There are no ‘foot passengers’ as is the case with ferries. The service should not be confused with Eurostar which is the passenger service that carries no vehicles and runs out of London."
},
{
"question": "So why would you take the Eurotunnel as opposed to the ferry?",
"answer": "Well the biggest benefit is speed and thus time saving. In theory you drive into the terminal, check in, wait a while, drive onto a train and 35 minutes later you’re driving off the other side. I write ‘in theory’ as, in my opinion, the service has decidedly deteriorated over the last few years and delays, some lengthy, now seem all too common. It’s easier to get to than the port if you’re coming from the London side of the M20. Pulling into the terminal is just like pulling into a motorway services. It takes out the hassle of the additional 11 miles to Dover and the sometimes slow trip through the town to the port. The service is not (usually) disrupted by adverse weather and of course, there’s no worry about seasickness. At busy times there can be up to five crossings an hour so, in theory, if you’re delayed you only have a short wait until the next one. In fact, Eurotunnel state you have leeway of up to 2 hours if you’re delayed. However, there’s a big caveat in that if subsequent crossings are full you’ll have to wait. I’ve heard of people waiting 6 hours after missing a crossing before being allowed on another one. In our experience travelling without a roof box or bikes etc and not going in a high-sided carriage gives more flexibility. On the downside, travelling by Eurotunnel is about as romantic as visit to a multi-story car park. There’s nothing ‘nice’ about the trains, they are ugly grey boxes and once inside you mainly sit in your car staring at the car in front. There’s something about travelling by sea on the other hand and getting fresh air while watching the white cliffs fade away that’s a far more pleasant experience for most. If you’re the driver, the ferry trip provides a nice break from driving and allows you enough time for a meal. The other downside is the price. Although there are some deals to be had, it is generally more expensive than the ferry. The service is incredibly busy at peak times (school holidays) and, in my opinion, seems to be getting worse. They often blame delays on ‘capacity issues’ which to me seems a joke. They know how much capacity they have so should only allow appropriate bookings. Eurotunnel have certainly got this right. Unless you’re paying with Tesco Clubcard vouchers (more on that later) there is no need to book by phone. Their website at www.eurotunnel.com is incredibly quick and easy to use to make a booking. Don’t think you’ll be able to negotiate a discount by phoning, because you won’t. Each booking gives you an online reference and password so you can amend it later, although there’s usually a difference in fare to pay there’s no fee for changing. Book early. Prices only go up getting nearer your crossing and availability only goes down. If you’re in a high vehicle or carrying a roof box or bikes you’ll need to go in high sided carriage. There’s no extra fee but we’ve found these book up quickly and, on more than one occasion, have not been able to travel with our roof box. While not compulsory, I’d highly recommend entering your car registration number at the booking. The automated check-in booths have number plate recognition which is superb as your booking appears on the screen as you drive up and you don’t have to enter your reference number. Despite this I always travel with a digital version of my booking confirmation on my phone and a printed copy just in case. A fairly recent change (from about April 2015) is that you now have to enter the passport details of everyone who’ll be travelling in your party. I believe this is down to UK Border Agency and while it’s nothing more than a bit of an annoyance it does seem to make a mockery of EU freedom of movement. It’s well worth using Tesco Clubcard vouchers if you have them. The process is a little long winded (but has improved dramatically from a few years ago when you had to wait for paper vouchers to be sent before booking) but well worth it as £10 in vouchers equals £30 in ticket price. Simply log on to your Clubcard account and follow the links and instructions. You can pay all or part of your journey but you’ll not get any change from vouchers. When you’ve decided the value of vouchers to use Tesco will email you a reference code. Yes, they email it, they don’t show it there and then.You may even get a confirmation email first with a number that looks like the code but isn’t, so read it carefully. You will find the email usually arrives between 20 minutes and and hour. Once you have the reference simply phone Eurotunnel to make the booking and tell them you are using Clubcard vouchers. I was skeptical at first, thinking I’d be made to pay a higher fare in order to use the vouchers but that’s not the case. If you check the website, the fare for time you want to go will be the one you’re charged for using vouchers. Traveling out, most people are likely to arrive at the terminal at junction 11a of the M20. The first thing you’re greeted with is the check-in. Queues always seem to be way shorter on the UK side and I’ve never worked out why. We tend to head for the one with the shortest queue whether manned or automatic. The automatic ones are really easy. If you entered your car reg on booking it’ll automatically recognise you and present your booking details on screen for you to confirm. If you are early and there’s availability it may well give you the option of an earlier crossing, though this is quite unlikely at peak times. Simply select the crossing time and it’ll print out a paper hanger with a letter you attach to your rear view mirror. Once you’ve checked in you (as in the letter you’ve been assigned) will either be directed to proceed or to wait at the terminal until called. There’s normally plenty of parking at the terminal and inside you’ll find a good selection of shops and cafes etc. Beware, if it’s early morning, school holidays and you’re busting for a cup of coffee you’ll probably find yourself in a long queue of others wanting the same. If you stop at the terminal keep an eye on the departure boards and we always leave immediately when called. You still have to go through passport control and security and we have missed our crossing in the past because of this. Once called just follow the signs. French passport control is on the UK side and I’ve never been checked or seen anyone else checked. You are either ignored or just waved through. Then you go through security and cars at random are pulled over for checks. Don’t worry if this happens to you, it’ll only take a few minutes and they’re doing it for your safety. After security you then need to concentrate if you’re in a high sided vehicle or carrying a roof box or bikes. You MUST get in the correct lane as there are height restrictions. It’s too easy to forget about your roof box and to follow other cars who don’t have them. If your car is over 1.85m you must go (and have booked) in high sided. There’s then one last check of your details before you are directed to a particular lane, exactly like waiting for the ferry. Your wait here depends on many factors and can be anything from nothing to hours if delays occur. So if you leave your car for a coffee or a quick loo stop be mindful that the light can go green and your lane start moving at any time. Once is does just follow the car in front or the green lights if you’re the first until you’re at the train. You’ll then be directed on. Then sit back and relax. For some reason, despite the fact there seem to be many more check-in booths, check-in coming back always seems to have much bigger queues. So much so that at times Eurotunnel staff (quite sensibly) have to hold cars back and then direct them as necessary. The only thing that’s really different coming back to the UK is passport control. The UK Border Agency is based on the French side and, unlike their French counterparts on the UK side, they do check passports, each and every one. So on the French side you proceed through passport control whether your train is ready for boarding or not. You are then either directed to board or to park at the terminal and to wait until your letter is called. While on the French side I still leave the terminal as soon as our letter is called, there’s no real panic as you’re already cleared passport control. All in all, apart from some frustrating delays at times, using the Eurotunnel is a very simple and straightforward undertaking. Some people are nervous going through the tunnel. I can’t think why, you barely get a sense you’re even in a tunnel let alone one under the sea. It really just feels like you’re sitting in your car, that happens to be on a train you can’t see out of. Given that we drive down to the Alps in one hit and thus have a ten hour drive ahead of us when we cross from the UK, the time saved against taking the ferry is very much worth it. Below are some top tips if you’re taking Eurotunnel. Book early, prices only go up. You can change your booking later. Use Tesco Clubcard points if possible to save on the fare. You have to book by phone though. Enter in car reg at time of booking. Book in high sided if you have a roof box / bikes and ensure you get in the correct lane. The author of this article is Roger Holden an experienced driver in France. Roger and his family use the tunnel on numerous occasions each year on their way to the Alps. The video on our French Toll Roads page was also created by Roger and I'm sure you will find that very useful if you are considering using the Automatic Toll Tag system for your drive through France."

},
{
"question": "What kind of ads can I run?",
"answer": "Banner ads(also known as display ads) are the image-based advertisements you see on web pages, supplementing the site’s main content. Banner ads can be targeted to US or International markets. Audio ads are similar to ads you hear on the radio. Audio Ads are 30-second audio recordings that will be heard by users of Spotify and iHeartRadio in the USA. With Ad Builder you can target your ads by genre or playlist."
},
{
"question": "What do I need in order to run an ad campaign?",
"answer": "1) First you need to make sure you have the creative assets for your campaign designed and ready for upload. You can create your banner ad as a JPEG or PNG file with a maximum file size of 150 kilobytes for each banner. For Audio ads, each ad must be exactly 30 seconds long and can be uploaded as either a WAV or MP3 file with a maximum file size of 6MB. You will also need to link to a destination URL. A destination URL is the web page, video, audio, or other online content that you will send your audience to when they click on your advertising banner (yes, audio ads need a destination URL too). Your destination URL must be live and verified at the time you create your ad campaign. No shortened links please! Please note, the destination URL for your Audio Ads cannot be directed to a competitor service. So, for instance, you cannot use an audio ad on Spotify to link to your music on YouTube or iTunes."
},
{
"question": "How much does it cost to run an ad campaign?",
"answer": "The minimum budget to start a banner ad campaign through Ad Builder is $20 US. In order to select premium banner ads, the minimum budget is $50 US dollars. The minimum campaign budget for audio ads is $50 US. All costs and estimates are based on a “per thousand impressions” unit of measurement, or CPM (cost per thousand impressions). IMPORTANT: There is also a mandatory audit fee, as there’s a manual process by which we ensure your campaign is optimized and meets the requirements of our ad network. For Banner ads, the audit fee is $1.00 US per banner size uploaded. For audio ads it is $1.00 per campaign submitted. All audit fees are non-refundable."
},
{
"question": "So… what is that non-refundable audit fee all about?",
"answer": "In order to participate in what is essentially a global ad auction, we must abide by the rules and regulations set forth by the auction platform as well as the partners they are placing advertisements for. To ensure all content meets these standards, a third party must review all content. This third party charges a $1.00 US audit fee per review. This means that if your campaign is rejected, you must fix your “creative” (the text, audio, or image assets for your campaign), resubmit your campaign, and pay the audit fee to be reviewed again. Audit fees are non-refundable once the audit has been completed."
},
{
"question": "What kinds of payment methods does Ad Builder accept?",
"answer": "Show.co Ad Builder accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, credit (worldwide) and debit cards (US only)."
},
{
"question": "How long will my ads run?",
"answer": "You will be able to choose the durartion of your ad campaign. Ads can run for up to a MAXIMUM of 31 days from start to end date. Because of the audit process, ads will not start running until content is approved. The audit process for banner ads is typically 4-24 hours. For audio ads it can take up to 48 hours for approval. Please note these times could be longer over holidays and weekends."
},
{
"question": "What kinds of websites can I advertise on?",
"answer": "You will select from three tiers to determine which types of websites your banner ads may be displayed on. Premium – By selecting this tier, your ad will hit heavily trafficked websites that typically charge the most amount of money per thousand impressions (highest CPM). For instance: Billboard.com, Pitchfork.com, RollingStone.com, Xlr8r.com etc. Banner ad campaigns must have a minimum budget of $50.00 to select the Premium Tier due to the higher average CPM. Targeted – Get more ad placements at a very competitive rate by targeting websites with moderate traffic. For instance: LAweekly.com, PDXMonthly.com, TheDeliMagazine.com. Discovery – Here you can get the most ad placements possible by targeting a large amount of websites with lighter traffic at a lower cost. For instance: PortlandMercury.com, Lyrics.com, AllMusic.com, etc. IMPORTANT: Show.co does not guarantee placement on any specific website. There are multiple ways to improve the performance of your ad as well as the potential reach of your ad campaign. Since ads are sold “per thousand impressions” you can buy more impressions by increasing your campaign budget. You also don’t want to spread your daily budget too thin by running a long campaign duration with a small budget. Finally, entering more targets and adding more banner ad sizes allows you to increase your potential reach, as your campaign will be eligible for more ad placement opportunities."
},
{
"question": "In which countries can I run ads?",
"answer": "Banner ads can be placed in most territories around the world. There are certain closed markets where we cannot display your ads though. The following territories are examples of closed territories for banner ads: China, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria. Audio Ads are currently only available through Spotify and iHeartRadio to listeners in the United States."
},
{
"question": "What kinds of ad performance data will I get?",
"answer": "You can see campaign performance data in your Ad Builder Dashboard. To view your data, simply click on the campaign you want to view. You can analyze your results, as well as view the websites where your ad ran. This data becomes available as early as 24 hours after your campaign has begun. Performance data is delivered daily and continues to come in up to 48 hours after your campaign ends or is stopped."
},
{
"question": "What kinds of content are prohibited on Ad Builder?",
"answer": "Content that intends to, or does, induce user action through misleading appearance or behavior, including, but not limited to, creatives that mimic video players, functional buttons, errors or warnings about viruses, missing codecs, and corrupt disks."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if my campaign was accepted and is running?",
"answer": "If you do not receive a rejection message in your Ad Builder dashboard within 24-48 hours after submitting your campaign, then it is likely that your campaign was accepted. You can then check the performance data for your ad campaign once your campaign starts running. Results will update every few hours for the duration of your campaign."
},
{
"question": "How do I stop my campaign?",
"answer": "If your campaign is in pending or approved status, you will see an option to stop the campaign. Once you stop a campaign, you cannot restart it. You will have to create a new campaign. Within 48 hours, the campaign will show your remaining credit balance and you can use these funds towards a new campaign. If you do not use that credit towards another campaign within 90 days, a refund will be issued to you automatically."
},
{
"question": "What if my campaign is rejected?",
"answer": "If your campaign is rejected, you will receive a notification in your Ad Builder Dashboard stating the reason. Once you fix your creative, you must resubmit your campaign to go through the audit process again. You will need to click on the “Click here to modify your ad content” link to edit the campaign, update your start and end dates, as well as upload the corrected asset. You will then resubmit just as you did before. Please note that you will be charged an additional audit fee of $1.00 for each banner image and/or audio creative. Audit fees are non-refundable and will be charged each time you have to submit creatives for auditing. Click here to see the list of reasons your campaign might be rejected. You can request a refund for unused funds 48 hours after a campaign comes to an end or is stopped. This can be done by emailing [email protected]. If you do not request a refund, we will issue a refund to you automatically after 90 days. After the 90 days, your refund will post to the credit card on file within 1 – 7 business days."

"question": "#1 - What are Polyflex Horseshoes, and how do they work?",
"answer": "Polyflex Horseshoes are a shapable polyurethane direct glue on shoe that mimics the natural composition and wear characteristics of the hoof. Our shoes are often used in performance and therapeutic cases as an alternative application with horses that become unresponsive to conventional shoeing methods. With their ability to mimic the mechanic properties of the foot - Polyflex Horsehoes enhance the function of the hoof, rather than restraining it. This often results in a more comfortable horse with healthier growth."
},
{
"question": "#2 - What are the benefits of Polyflex shoes?",
"answer": "Polyflex shoes offer multiple benefits for the horse. Most commonly, we hear customers referring to the shoes ability to function as a natural extension of the hoof as the most desirable feature. The direct glue application along with the shoe’s composition are believed to preserve the normal hoof functions of support, traction, shock absorption and proprioception by flexing with the hoof. In our opinion, conventional glue on shoes over long term use tend to reverse the initial benefits achieved due to the casting nature of a rigid shoe. In comparison, our observations have found Polyflex shoes to be successful for long term use and appear to create healthier horn growth."
},
{
"question": "#3 - How long will the Polyflex shoes last?",
"answer": "Polyflex Horseshoes are designed to have the same or similar life span as traditional shoes. We recommend shoeing your horse according to the average cycle of 4-6 weeks, based on their personal needs."
},
{
"question": "#4 - Are Polyflex shoes more expensive than traditional shoes?",
"answer": "Yes. The time it takes to create our shoes, in addition to the materials and craftsmanship needed for the application process makes Polyflex Horseshoes a true investment."
},
{
"question": "#5 - What determines a horse as a good candidate for Polyflex shoes?",
"answer": "Under our \"Shoes\" tab, you will find \"Selecting A Candidate\" option in the drop down menu. If you view this page you will find a thorough description of the four primary points we consider before deciding if a horse is a Polyflex candidate."
},
{
"question": "#1 - Aren't Polyflex shoes slippery?",
"answer": "Regardless of how a horse is shod, there is always risk associated with surfaces such as asphalt, wet grass and other examples of poor footing. That said, our shoes are widely used on turf courses and grass rings in the performance world. In fact, several of our designs have stud features intended specifically for greater traction. In comparison, we have found Polyflex shoes to be no more slippery than a traditional shoe."
},
{
"question": "#2 - I can see metal on the toe of my Polyflex Horseshoes - is this normal?",
"answer": "The majority of our shoes comprise a wear plate in the toe region to help eliminate excess wear on the shoe. If you look closely at most aluminum brands of shoes - you will see the same thing. As your horse begins to wear his shoe - the plate will become more visible. This feature is an expected process within the shoeing cycle and is considered normal."
},
{
"question": "#3 - Will Polyflex Horseshoes fall off?",
"answer": "While all shoes have the potential to come off, the success rate of our shoes staying on is dependent entirely on the application process. In fact, with correct technique and application - Polyflex Horseshoes can be ideal for horses with a tendency to pull shoes & will stay on as well, if not better than traditional shoes."
},
{
"question": "#4 - Will my horse be able to wear Polyflex shoes long term?",
"answer": "Absolutely. While Polyflex Horseshoes are not intended to be a permanent shoeing choice, they do offer many benefits to the health of the horse's foot. Many clients and farriers agree that they see increased horn growth, structural integrity and sole depth after consistently using Polyflex."
},
{
"question": "#5 - Can I shoe my horse with Polyflex Horseshoes and traditional shoes simultaneously?",
"answer": "Yes, in fact it is common to have a horse wearing Polyflex in front & traditional shoes in back. What is important to remember is that every horse has different needs. What may work well for one horse may not work well for another. Polyflex Horseshoes are intended to be used in a variety of combinations that benefit each individual horse."
},
{
"question": "#6 - Once I shoe my horse in Polyflex Horseshoes will I be able to switch back to traditional shoeing methods?",
"answer": "In most cases, absolutely. Polyflex Horseshoes are often used as a means to an end to achieve a specific therapeutic or competitive goal. Depending on your horse's particular needs - it is quite possible that your horse could return to traditional shoeing methods. Occasionally, we do have horses that thrive in Polyflex shoes, and end up becoming some of our long term customers."
},
{
"question": "#7 - If I cannot find the size or shoe I need for my horse, may I place a custom order/request?",
"answer": "Of our available shoes, we offer a multitude of options to best meet the needs of as many horses as possible. Occasionally we do fulfill custom orders, however we require compensation for the shop time and materials needed to create specific modifications for the shoe. If your request matches a custom order we have had in the past, we may already possess the mold for it. If your request does not match any of our previous orders & is feasible - creating a new original shoe requires a significantly greater investment."
},
{
"question": "#1 - Why do you recommend that I use your type of glue and adhesive products for applying Polyflex Horseshoes?",
"answer": "The truth of the matter is that we are not as concerned about brand name as we are about quality of product and type used. Over time, and after much trial and error we have developed a very specific application process using materials that we are confident in. We've had the most success with long term bonds using a methacrylate blend glue with our hoof sealant - and highly recommend using this type of adhesive in conjunction with our application instructions for the best outcomes."
},
{
"question": "#2 - Why do I need to flash dry the foot before applying Polyflex shoes?",
"answer": "While it may feel dry to the touch, the hoof is technically considered wet after a fresh trim. If any part of the hoof contains moisture at the time of gluing, the adhesive properties of the bond will be compromised. This is why we recommend flash drying the hoof with a torch prior to gluing on the shoe. To find more detailed instructions, visit our Application Process page to view a video tutorial and read our instructional article."
},
{
"question": "#3 - Can I apply glue on shoes in weather extremes?",
"answer": "Yes, the key is selecting the right type of glue, managing temperature of your glue and controlling your moisture levels in the foot. We prefer the use of fast set glue - however if you are applying glue on shoes for the first time, slow set will provide you a larger time gap to prepare & apply. When attempting to control the temperature of your glue, try to avoid extreme changes. In cold weather - store you glue in a room temperature environment & keep your glue on a heating pad while you are preparing your foot. In hot weather extremes, storing your glue in a refrigerator & packing your glue in a cooler will provide you good temperature control also. Finally, always remember to flash dry the foot using a torch prior to applying the shoe. After a fresh trim, the horse's hoof is considered wet. By flash drying, you will create an ideal surface for your adhesive to bond to. If you are mindful of these three things and combine it with the correct application process you can get very good results shoeing in all weather types."
},
{
"question": "#4 - What options do I have for shaping a Polyflex shoe?",
"answer": "Unlike traditional shoes, our Polyflex Horseshoes are designed with an encapsulated wire to allow for shaping. Additionally, our shoes come in various toe widths and modification options to adapt to breed & discipline specific needs. That said, we do not advise using a hammer to shape Polyflex Horseshoes. Our personal preference is to use the end of a hoof jack to shape the shoe. By putting the branch of the shoe that you are wanting to shape into the top of the aluminum post of your hoof jack (after removing the rubber cap that your hoof sits on) you are able to bend the shoe. By exaggerating the bend, you are generally able to achieve the degree of change you are looking for. If you need further assistance selecting the right shoe for your horse or creating the perfect fit, please call anytime for advice. In the meantime, be sure to check in to watch our upcoming instructional videos!"
},
{
"question": "#5 - Can Polyflex Horseshoes be nailed on?",
"answer": "No, Polyflex shoes are never meant to be nailed on. Due to the nature of their design Polyflex shoes are only to be applied using direct glue. If you were to nail on a Polyflex shoe, the natural flexibility of the polyurethane would create enough excess movement to induce stress on the nails, thus resulting in damage to the hoof wall."
},
{
"question": "#6 - How do you remove a Polyflex Horseshoe?",
"answer": "Our best advice is to treat a Polyflex shoe like an extension of the horse's foot and to trim it off. However, be mindful of the glue to make sure you are not taking part of the hoof off with your shoe."
},
{
"question": "#7 - Can Polyflex shoes be reset?",
"answer": "Polyflex Horseshoes are meant to wear according to the horse's natural foot fall and are not intended to be used for more than one shoeing. Depending on the discipline of your horse & the surfaces he/she is ridden on, the shoes will wear at different rates. We highly recommend that you maintain your horse's shoeing routine, and do not stretch the shoeing cycle."
},
{
"question": "#8 - How do I find more information about the glue on process?",
"answer": "We have additional resources for learning about our glue on process on our website under the \"Shoes\" tab.

"question": "Does the United Way of Thunder Bay operate efficiently?",
"answer": "The United Way of Thunder Bay is a locally operated, autonomous organization which has its own by-laws and volunteer Board of Directors. The United Way of Thunder Bay operates on a basis of sound financial practices. Our Annual Financial Statements are available online in our Annual Report and at our office where we are always happy to answer further questions. Our total fundraising costs as a percentage of revenue averages between 21-23% over the last five years, depending on how well the campaign closes each year. This ratio is well within Canada Revenue Agency’s regulations. One of the ways we are able to accomplish this low rate is by the thousands of hours people volunteer each year and the generosity of gift-in-kind sponsors."
},
{
"question": "Doesn’t a lot of money allocated to the agencies go to their Administrator?",
"answer": "Many people confuse administration with the salaries of services staff. There could not be a counselling service without a counsellor, a recreation program without a leader, or a training program without a teacher. It is true that the largest single item in most agencies’ budgets is salaries, but only a small portion of these salaries is used for administration."
},
{
"question": "Why do some of your agencies raise funds and/or charge fees?",
"answer": "The United Way does not fund 100% of agencies’ budgets. United Way funds are used only for the delivery of specific services and programs. Agencies are required to find supplementary sources of funding for capital and operational expenses. I’d like to give to the United Way, but I don’t like (agency). The needs assessment process of the United Way is designed to ensure that every funded service and program meets a community need. Each funded organization is financially accountable to the United Way through an annual review of its budget and operations. However, our donor option policy allows donors to give to specific United Way funded agency (or agencies) as well as to any registered Canadian charity."
},
{
"question": "Why should I give to the United Way instead of directly to an Agency?",
"answer": "Seven panels of experienced volunteers make up the United Way Allocations Committee. Thirty seven dedicated volunteers donate 800 hours to this process. The committee reviews the performance of each funded agency annually, ensuring that campaign contributions are spent wisely and effectively in our community. You also have the ability to give to a number of agencies with one easy donation. The decision to give and how much to give are very personal and depend upon many factors. As a guideline, the Canadian Labour Congress and Canadian Chamber of Commerce were Independently asked some years ago to suggest what they considered to be a reasonable guide for individual giving to United Way. The result was the concept of “fair share” giving, which ties the amount of the contribution to salary earned. The suggested amount is the equivalent of 15 minutes pay per week or an hour per month. However, any amount is much appreciated and makes an impact. No amount is too small– every dollar counts! My spouse gives at work."
},
{
"question": "Why should I give?",
"answer": "As an individual, your gift is important too! When employees are canvassed, they are asked to give according to their own income, not family income. United Way asks that each of us make a contribution based on our own income level. You and your spouse can also make a combined gift of $1,200 or more to become Leaders of the Way. $25 Provides 5 under-represented youth with the basic tools that will ignite their creativity. They will take home sketchbooks, pencils, and erasers so they can begin to express themselves."

{
"question": "What is the most stressful part about working at American Homes 4 Rent?",
"answer": "The disorganization, the unachievable amount of work they place on employees. The inconceivable amount of email you receive and are expected to respond to. 80% of them have nothing to do with you. The way they have you running around doing things other than the overkill of a work load on yourdashboard, The constant change of how to do your job and what your job is. The university online courses that just keep coming. Even have to do courses that do not apply to your position. I can keep going folks. Time management can be a challenge, this is a fast paced company and each employee is expected to be able to manage their time efficiently. Since most roles give quite a bit of autonomy you have to be able to take ownership for both your wins and your losses. Large work load, not enough employees for the amount of work that is expected to be done. When you have a few employees doing the workload for many. And they are constantly running to complete. Upper management wants to save money at the employees expense. This creates a stressful and unhealthy work environment. An over exerted, burnt out, tired and frustrated employee. That coupled with slow systems & programs that are insufficant in many ways, slowing you down further. Additions and changes to position responsibilities, (MORE WORK) in addition to too much already put on you. Redundancies that are a waste of time and revanue. Knowing that nobody knows what they are really doing. Because of all the issues and confusion, problems and not being a smooth operation. People are making mistakes because they are consistently rushing through trying to complete the load put on them. Companies wonder why they can't keep good employees. Why they have high turnover rates."
},
{
"question": "How would you describe the pace of work at American Homes 4 Rent?",
"answer": "Upper management is horrible and if your not one of the favorites- forget it. Communication is awful!!!!!!!!!!!! Management is up and coming so have a lot to learn. The company has absolutely no structure whatsoever. The company is trying to expand to a real call center but needs a lot of work and experience and is continuously losing those of value. There is no job security. Angry managers with thier pets who do no work. Supervisors who don't want to be there or have bad attitudes about internal and external customers. No time for a personal life."

"question": "How long have you been operating tours?",
"answer": "1983-2018 Celebrating 35 Years offering small groups great Outdoor Adventures ! Saddling South's owner, Trudi Angell, began sea kayaking and exploring the pristine coast of Baja in 1976. After 7 seasons working at the National Outdoor Leadership School Baja branch and organizing private kayak expeditions, she began running commercial tours in 1983. Paddling South and Saddling South are known as Loreto, Baja's oldest and most respected adventure travel company. Local partners, Jorge Salas and Antonio Hernandez grew up in Loreto and have joined us as owner-guides of Loreto Kayak Tours, our sea kayak tour operations (17 and 12 years respectively), making our company unique in the Loreto area. Trudi had horses as a teenager growing up in the Napa valley, and found a whole new side of Baja life when she climbed on a mule and rode into the rock art canyons in 1985. She has led trips for Harry Crosby, Eve Ewing and other BCS notables....has ridden the length of the peninsula with her daughter... twice !.... and in 2018/19 has a variety of listed and custom trips scheduled. Come ride the trails with us! On the pack trips 8 to 9 participants is usually the maximum group size. We feel that our guests receive a more intimate experience with the environment and culture by traveling in a smaller group. If you are a single traveler, no problema, you will have your own tent for camping. Sometimes our tours will operate with just a few folks, and our private custom trips may even be run with a minimum group size of 2 traveling friends! We can also arrange for a customized multisport tour which, besides some trail riding or short, 2 or 3 overnight camping trips, can include hotel based day-trips for sea kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, island tours for wildlife viewing, and whale watching. We have it all in Loreto and San Ignacio! See Private Trip Rate Sheet links on the home page - located along with the trip itinerary lists."
},
{
"question": "I don't have any experience riding, can I do this?",
"answer": "Our tours are designed to give novices and advanced riders/hikers a great vacation. We teach basic skills on the first day, and offer help throughout the tour for those who wish to improve technique. Trail Riding / Pack trips - We often adjust the riding days to allow for shorter ride days at the beginning (2 to 3 hours) and longer riding days later on the route (4 to 6 hours). We take breaks along the trail, plus there's the option to hop off and walk at times. Hiking instead of riding, or sharing a mount, can happen too. If you are an active person who likes to camp and learn about new environments, these are the ideal trips for you. We send you some pre-trip information to help get you prepared ....which, along with your adventurous attitude could make this a 'trip of a lifetime' !"
},
{
"question": "Where is Loreto or San Ignacio, and how do we get there?",
"answer": "Loreto is located 750 miles south of San Diego on the Lower California peninsula in Mexico (the peninsula is comprised of the 2 most northwestern states of Mexico, Baja California, and Baja California Sur). Though Loreto is a more remote destination than other more touristy areas in \"Baja\", we do have the service of an international airport with arrivals from Los Angeles, from Calgary, from Tijuana, and other Mexican airports. Rock Art Rides - San Ignacio is 4 hours north of Loreto on Highway 1. And the trail heads for World Heritage rock art tours are about 2 additional hours from the town of San Ignacio. Driving is a great option for folks who have some time before and after the tours. Please see the Travel notes on the Information pages of our site. The most frequent way folks arrive is by jet from Los Angeles, Tijuana, or Calgary direct to Loreto. There are also many flight options from US cities to San Jose del Cabo on the south tip of the peninsula, then, travel north to Loreto is easy and safe. Ask us for more helpful hints. See Alaskaair.com / Westjet.com, or contact Calafiaair.com.mx for direct flights to Loreto."

{
"question": "When is the best time to travel to Baja?",
"answer": "For Pack trips, October through May is best. In late spring through summer for any of our adventures, we can customize tours."
},
{
"question": "Do the guides cook?",
"answer": "We are proud to claim that most of our guides and staff are Mexican nationals and long-time local experts with special insights, cultural, and natural history knowledge to share. All of our trip leaders are trained in adventure travel and safety, and most have basic wilderness first aid skills. Cowboy guides and the liason cookbreakfasts and dinners and often add their favorite family recipes to our menus, making a very special addition to your cultural experience of Baja. On the pack trips, sometimes the group leaders, (working alongside our local packing and rock art guides), are from the US with special skills for translating, cooking, natural history and other trail skills. Trudi leads a few of the trips, and sometimes local partners or others step in to share the trail-time."
},
{
"question": "What is the minimum age for the tours?",
"answer": "Most tours find group member ages ranging between the 30s to 60s. During spring break and holidays is when families generally look for an active outdoor winter vacation and so...the minimum age on trips is 10 years old for Pack Trips. For families with younger children we can schedule a private trip and plan the route according to needs."
},

"question": "What equipment do I have to bring?",
"answer": "We supply everything except your personal clothing gear and sleeping bag and sleep pads, although with advance notice you may rent a bag and sleep pad for $25 for the week.

"question": "Should it be insured like a condominium or a house?",
"answer": "The term “townhouse” describes a form of architecture, not a form of real estate ownership. Your unit may be part of a condominium association and should therefore be covered on a unit owner’s condominium insurance policy. On the other hand, the deed may be “fee simple” like most free-standing houses, in which you own the house and land. In the latter case, you should be covered on a home insurance policy."

"question": "Why are most WFMT Radio Network shows available to affiliate stations for free?",
"answer": "The WFMT Radio Network is a mission-driven, non-profit organization. Maintaining a robust network of affiliate stations is important in our effort to support and promote classical, jazz and other arts forms within communities and on the air waves throughout the country. The cost of creating the programs we syndicate is primarily covered by a combination of the presenting organizations we work with and underwriting support, so those costs do not have to be passed on to our affiliates. My station doesn’t have a lot of staff."
},
{
"question": "How can the WFMT Radio Network save me programming time?",
"answer": "Our programs generally follow a consistent, regular system. With the exception of operas and live programs, our shows are 1 or 2 hours, and usually are continuous (52 weeks a year), or quarter-long (13 weeks). Some shows have shorter runs, and we also carry specials lasting one week or more. We have found that some stations like to set up a steady schedule, while others like to change their lineup fairly often. Our system accommodates both programming approaches. My listeners want reliability in my programming, with something a little out of the ordinary on occasion."
},
{
"question": "What can you do for me?",
"answer": "The programs we provide are of indisputable quality and of the highest production standards, and feature world-class artists from many genres and art forms. They establish a foundation of excellence for your lineup.

We rely on volunteers to fill out our on-air staff, leaving me with holes in my schedule."

{
"question": "How can you help?",
"answer": "One of the best things about PRX, the internet-based distribution system we use to deliver our programs, is that you can download WFMT Radio Network content when you need it. A one-hour or two-hour special, for example, can cover an emergency need, and PRX makes it easy to download and broadcast a program in a very short amount of time. We’re really trying to build up our website."

We bring together collections of performances from the nation’s greatest opera companies to create a spectacular opera series for you. My listeners are impressed by big-name performers."

{
"question": "How do you stack up?",
"answer": "The WFMT Radio Network provides programming from some of the most celebrated organizations in classical, jazz, and folk music, featuring perennial favorites and the latest “rising stars”. Our programs range from in-depth, audio-rich, documentary-style features on topics such as the rising interest in classical music in China, seasonal summer festival concert programming featuring time-tested favorites and exciting new talent, symphonic masterworks from some of the best orchestras in the country, and recitals and concerts from the world’s best stages, such as the preeminent Carnegie Hall. With so much rich material to choose from, you’re sure to find something to delight your audience! I don’t have a lot of time to stay informed or as up-to-date as I would like."

Our Station Relations staff stays in regular communication through newsletters, e-mails, and phone calls, so that you’re always up-to-date on what we have on offer. In addition, we’re always happy to work with you to set up a package of programs to fill out your schedule even months in advance.

"answer": "In order to protect our product from getting pirated, the product is first encrypted and a serial key is generated which is unique to each product. This process consumes a considerable amount of time. In addition, we are facing a high volume of orders that have considerably stressed our resources and increased the delivery time."

{
"question": "Will I need an internet to run this program?",

{
"question": "Is the program compatible with all the Operating Systems?",
"answer": "This program is available in a video-audio format and can be run/played in the most common operating system (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux) and does not require any additional application or software. It can also be played on Smart Tv or any other TV that supports USB/pen drive. It is pertinent to mention here that this program is available in a 1:1 ratio format. To put it in simple words, if the customer downloads the program on a particular system, and activates it, then the protected content will automatically get locked to the hard disk of that particular computer/system and can be played on that system only. However, If the customer wishes to play the program in multiple clinics /multiple systems/TV then we strongly recommend you to download and activate the program on an external hard Disk /USB flash drive/dongle."

"question": "How does Positive Psychology help in Coaching?",
"answer": "Positive Psychology is a natural fit with coaching. Clients seek out coaching for a full range of issues, however, underneath these issues is generally a desire to increase their overall sense of happiness and well-being. Positive Psychology provides important techniques and strategies that coaches use to help clients realize their goals on the path to greater well-being. Positive Psychology also suggests specific practices that can be effectively integrated into the coaching relationship. Most people think that they will be happy when they get a job, a promotion, a new car, a bigger home, a relationship, or more money. While these are important, none of them will make you happy for more than a few months to year, at the most. This doesn’t mean that finding happiness is wishful thinking. It simply means that we tend to look for happiness in the wrong places. True Happiness is a deep sense of inner contentment and fulfillment; a higher level of consciousness; a state of mind that once we reach it, it will never go away. Happy people have distinct activity in certain parts of their brain, heart rhythms, and body chemistry. Happiness is the ultimate goal in life. Everything we do is to make us happy. Besides that, medical evidence suggests that being Happy affects our health, memory, and our capacity to heal, learn, and solve problems. Have a stronger network of friends and allies. Researchers have found that no matter what happens to you in life, whether good or bad, you tend to return to a fixed range of happiness within a year: they call it “your happiness set-point”. Your happiness set-point is determined by your genes (50%), your circumstances (10%), and (40%) by your habits: thoughts, feelings, and actions. Your happiness set-point will remain the same unless you make a concentrated effort to change it. The best thing you can do for yourself, your family and friends, and for World Peace is to find your Joy and Inner Peace. When you are happy, you will be able to give others more, as you will have more energy and more wisdom. Besides that, happiness is contagious; when you are happy you can make the people around you be happy as well."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible to learn how to be happy?",
"answer": "Absolutely! Thanks to the Science of Happiness “Positive Psychology” we can teach happiness like we can teach Math or any other subject. Learning how to be happy is a very important goal that you have the right to achieve. And it is possible when you apply the techniques that you will learn in the Coaching Toward Happiness Program."

"answer": "Giving you the upper-hand during this difficult time. As San Bernardino divorce attorneys, the Law Office of Michael R. Young has seen countless spouses be overwhelmed by the divorce process. On top of the tense emotions, the psychological distress, and the general stress level of a divorce, many people simply do not know how to proceed. Our firm wants to help. We have more than 50 years of combined experience handling cases like yours, so we’ve created a basic FAQ to help you navigate the tough issues involved in divorce and family law. A contested divorce is when both parties are not able to agree to the terms of a settlement and / or the divorce agreement. A contested divorce will result in both parties having to go to court to have a judge resolve the contested matters. Contested divorces are generally more expensive, exhausting, and emotional, as they require extensive preparation and litigation. We always attempt to settle a divorce agreement out of court before litigation, as it helps everyone involved recover better from the divorce. If a spouse will face financial hardship due to a divorce, spousal support or alimony may be ordered. Basically, the law states that an individual has the right to maintain the standard of living that they were accustomed to during their marriage. However, if both spouses are employed and self-sufficient or married for a very short period, spousal support will most likely not be awarded."

{
"question": "Who Pays Child Support & How Is Child Support Determined?",
"answer": "The person who is ordered to pay child support is the one with whom the child does not legally reside, otherwise known as the “non-custodial parent.” Child support is then determined based on each parent’s income and the amount of time that they spend with the child. A judge will, however, have the final decision as to how much child support will need to be paid. California functions as a “community property” state. Simply put, a couple’s estate will fall into two categories: separate property and community property. The wealth that each individual had prior to marrying will remain theirs, but that which is gained during the marriage by either spouse will count as community property. Gifts and inheritances that are meant for one of the individuals will also usually be set aside as separate property. Community property is then divided amongst the two. This can leave one spouse receiving less than the monetary amount they actually gained for the couple during the marriage. It can also gain the other spouse winnings when their contributions to the marriage may not have been monetary. For those with more substantial wealth or who are getting married later in life, it is a standard concern to wonder about protecting against losing assets. A prenup established upfront can include terms that leave separate property gained prior to and during marriage to the spouse that acquires it. Depending on whether or not both spouses can come to an agreement, a divorce typically takes 6 months or more to become final. Even if there is a mutual agreement, in the state of California there is a zero to six-month waiting period after the divorce petition is filed with the court and served to the other spouse. While a judge can make a final ruling on the divorce before the waiting period is over, you still have to wait for the interim period to end before your marriage is legally dissolved."

{
"question": "Why Should I Hire a Family Law & Divorce Attorney?",
"answer": "A family law and divorce attorney will protect your rights and help make sure that you receive a fair and just outcome for your case. An experienced professional also understands the complex legalities surrounding family law issues. As such, they will be able to assist you with all the required documentation that must be filed with the San Bernardino, Riverside, or Temecula courts. A mistake in a family law-related matter can lead to unfortunate results in some of the most vital areas of your life. Some individuals try to deal with these cases alone, but they often recognize they do not have the level of comprehension it takes to create the outcome they want. A pro has years of experience and training that have allowed them to better understand many of the intricacies that are involved in divorce cases. They will know how to properly deal with paperwork, what actions will need to be taken, and can offer representation in the courtroom if a case comes to that. California is more lenient than other states. A no-fault divorce can be sought, meaning no reason for the divorce needs to be provided other than “irreconcilable differences.” It also allows a couple to pursue a divorce when there is not necessarily a monumental reason for them wanting one; simply growing apart is sufficient grounds for divorce in our state. The other legal grounds for divorce is incurable insanity. My Spouse & I Don’t Want to Go to Court."
},
{
"question": "What Can We Do?",
"answer": "This is a common scenario for many couples looking to avoid the time and cost of court. While they may not necessarily agree on every aspect, they can at least agree that they want to avoid court. These cases can often be simpler—by working with a skilled lawyer, you will have a representative that looks out for your interests, guides you in the right direction, and provides assistance to come to peaceable terms. The same lawyer may be used in some cases; however, other couples may find it more beneficial to have unique representation that prioritizes the individual interests of each spouse. My Divorce Has Already Been Finalized."
},
{
"question": "How Can I Change the Terms?",
"answer": "A modification is a great option for many ex-spouses. It is common for the circumstances that existed at the time of the divorce to change drastically over the years. A parent may no longer be the person they once were, a child can develop health concerns, or one of the spouses can lose their income. The court understands that there are many valid reasons to make changes. The main thing that they want to demonstrate is that there is a change in circumstances, and that this change is serious enough for a modification to be made. It is often advised to seek a change sooner rather than later because these modifications will typically not be retroactive. Either of the two individuals can pursue, or they can come to the decision together. For a couple that does agree on the adjustment, they can present their idea to the judge, who will review it to determine if it will be approved. A couple that is disputing the issue will often not have the item resolved as easily. Contact us today, or call our offices at (909) 315-4588 for more information."

{
"question": "Why use Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)?",
"answer": "Protein helps to repair our bones, muscles, organs and virtually every body part and tissue in the human body and is an important nutrient needed by everyone on a daily basis regardless if they train at the gym or not. Our WPI is made up of essential and non-essential amino acids, which are the “building blocks” for healthy bodies. One of the common misconceptions is that protein assists with muscle bulk. Although protein does assist with muscle development, it also has the ability to curb your appetite to avoid overeating. Protein rich food will give you greater satiety yield meaning you last longer between meals. Because of its ability to be digested very rapidly into the muscles, WPI helps to return the post-workout body back from catabolic (muscle-wasting) state to an anabolic (muscle-building) state."

https://genero.com/help/filmmaker/faq-video-store/ | [
{
"question": "What can I leave in my video?",
"answer": "The Genero Video Store is a place where filmmakers offer their non-selected Genero video submissions for sale. Filmmakers set their own prices and artists, bands, labels, brands - anyone looking for exceptional video content - can buy the videos to be re-edited to suit their project. We often get dozens of video submissions for projects, but sometimes there’s only one official selection. We want to maximise what you get out of your amazing video content by providing a central store so you can sell your videos once the projects are over! Set a specific price, or accept offers. You control whether the sale goes ahead or not, depending on the intended use for your video and the project requirements. Once you’ve accepted and the buyer has made the payment you’ll then work with the buyer to re-edit your footage for their project, and deliver the final video. - Buyers will browse through the store, find a video they like, and place an order. - Check the details of the offered project. You can accept at the offered price (or update a new price), ask some questions or decline. - Once accepted we’ll ask the buyer to make payment before the project proceeds. - It's very important that you do not start work on the video edit until Genero has confirmed payment has been received and we've given you the buyer's contact details. - Once we’ve received the payment we’ll email you and the buyer with contact details so you can work together and complete the project! - Re-edit your video for the requested project and deliver the completed video to the buyer. Then mark the project as “Delivered”. - Once received, the buyer will marked the order as \"Complete\", at which point Genero will make the payment available to you. You can request the payout from your payments dashboard at any time. A non-selected Genero video (any video that is not an official selection or runner-up, IE: does not receive a payment) is able to be sold immediately after the project results are announced on the Genero Video Store. To set a price on your Genero video, visit your Store Dashboard. By default videos are set to ‘Buyer can offer a price’. With this setting your videos will appear in the Video Store with “Enquire, make an offer” displayed. Potential buyers will be able to make you an offer to have your video re-edited for their project. To set your own price click “Set price”. Enter a price in USD$; the minimum price to sell a video is $500. Genero takes a processing fee equivalent to 20% of your set price, or a minimum of USD$150 - whichever is higher. To remove your video from the Video Store click “Not for sale”. Note: your video will only be hidden from the Video Store - it will still be visible on the rest of the site as normal. For videos that you sell in the Genero Video Store, the transaction fee is equivalent to 20% of the price you set (or the offer price you receive), or $150 - whichever is higher. This amount covers marketing your videos to buyers, transaction fees, hosting, and other associated costs. All amounts displayed and used in transactions are in US$. We clearly display the sale price, fee and payment amount in every offer or order you receive, so you can see the amounts before you accept an offer for purchase. Note: there may be other associated fees when receiving your funds via PayPal or Payoneer, performing currency exchange, or other transfer fees charged by your financial institution. The minimum price for selling a video on the Genero Video Store is USD $500, but we think your videos are worth much more than that! - Remember, the price you set includes up to 10 hours of editing/post. - Consider your production costs as well as your staff, crew and cast. - You’ve created beautiful, original content. Don’t undersell yourself! Browse the Video Store to get an idea of the range of prices. Remember, you will be transferring the rights to the video to the buyer; set the price so that you’ll be happy to send your creation out into the world! Once the buyer makes payment for your video we’ll send each of you an email sharing your contact details (email). Work with the buyer to re-edit your video for the new project. You will be transferring the rights to your video to the buyer. They will require release forms for your video - you should have these completed for your Genero submission, so make sure you provide these to the buyer when you deliver the video. Check with the buyer for the delivery requirements (how you should send the final product). For transferring files up to 2GB we recommend services such as DropBox or WeTransfer. For files larger than 2GB, we recommend sending to the buyers FTP server (if they have one) or using physical media such as sending a USB thumb drive by FedEx (or similar). Once you have sent the final video to the buyer, mark the order as “Delivered” in the Order Summary. When the buyer marks the order as “Completed”, we’ll release the payment amount to your Payment Dashboard. Your payment dashboard is where you find all of your individual payments from Genero, ready for payout. Payment amounts are added to your payments dashboard each time you deliver a sold video and the buyer marks the order as “Completed”. All payments are transferred in USD$. You may incur PayPal or Payoneer fees by converting USD$ to your local currency, or moving the funds to your linked bank account or credit card (if available in your country). You must be located in a country that can receive funds to Paypal or Payoneer. If you're not in a country that can receive funds by Paypal or Payoneer, contact us for more info. Additional payout options will be coming in the future. Genero filmmakers always retain full rights to their own video footage for non-winning video submissions (ie: any project where you did not receive payment). When you re-edit a video for a buyer you must remove any asset that was provided as part of the project. This includes the song, any provided footage, any graphical assets and anything else that may have been provided explicitly for use in the original Genero project."

Regionally-sourced wood pellets are stored much like oil or propane in a bulk container, which unlike cordwood or pellet stoves, allow the system to automatically operate without daily human interaction. Wood pellet fuel is delivered by a truck similar to an oil delivery truck and pneumatically fed into the pellet container. Moreover, the modern wood heating systems installed through HeatSmart CCL have very few cleaning requirements are self-cleaning and have automatic ash removal to a simple container which can be emptied in a couple minutes a few times a year. Buy local heat. Massachusetts homeowners send approximately 90 cents of every dollar spent on fossil fuels out of state. By purchasing wood pellets sourced from New England, you can keep more of your heating dollars in the local and regional economy. Automated, low-hassle wood heating. Enjoy the benefits of heating with wood without the hassle: modern wood heating systems are fully automated to run without human interaction for weeks at a time and only need to be cleaned and emptied of ash once or twice a year. No need to load in bags of pellets or logs: a pellet fuel delivery truck will keep your home stocked just like with heating oil delivery. Wood smoke contains particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, which can be hazardous to your health. Traditional wood heating systems, like fireplaces and older wood stoves, could emit sufficient air pollutants over decades to cause health issues. Modern wood heating systems emit a fraction of the amount of air pollutants released by traditional systems and must be certified by the EPA to be installed through the MassCEC rebate program.. While a traditional wood stove might emit over 2.5 lbs of PM emissions for every million Btus of heat provided, the OkoFEN modern wood heating systems New Day will be installing through HeatSmart CCL emit less than 0.02 lbs of PM emissions for every million Btus of heat--over 100 times less. I don’t want to haul pellets."
},
{
"question": "Is modern wood heating right for me?",
"answer": "Yes! Modern wood heating systems are completely automated: no pellet hauling, no system loading, no buying pellets from the store. Your pellet storage bin will be filled by a bulk delivery truck a few times a year (just like filling your oil tank), and your system will automatically load itself from the storage bin."
},
{
"question": "If so, how often?",
"answer": "Your modern wood heating system will keep itself clean. All pellet ash will be collected conveniently in a bin that you'll need to empty once every one or two months. Pellet stoves are not the only device that use wood pellets. For decades advanced central wood pellet boilers have been used in Europe and over the past 8 years have been made available in the USA. These systems have very little in common with simple pellet stoves aside from the fuel. HeatSmart CCL is focused on central wood pellet boilers and furnaces from OkoFEN, distributed in the USA as Maine Energy Systems. No! There’s no need to stock up or buy bags of pellets: the modern wood heating systems installed through HeatSmart CCL are fully automated and designed to handle bulk delivery by truck much like heating oil. This means that you can keep your home heated through the winter with only a few bulk deliveries -- and never have to handle wood or pellets yourself! Wood pellets are typically sourced from wastewood (e.g. from sawmills) and from residues related to the wood harvesting process. New Day Energy can direct you to vendors who are offering wood pellets that are certified as sustainably harvested and sourced from forests that are sustainably managed. Certifying organizations include a DCR-approved plan for products derived from Massachusetts forests and certifications from third-party organizations including the Forest Stewardship Council and Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (Sustainable Forestry Initiative and American Tree Farm System). Speak with our installer, New Day Energy, about the pellet sourcing options available to you for bulk delivery. As such thermal storage is a requirement of the MassCEC modern wood heating rebate program. While this will add costs to your system, MassCEC provides $2,000 to offset this added cost. Note that all incentives for modern wood heating systems are only available to Carlisle and Lincoln residents. Modern wood heating systems are expected to last for over 30 years, longer than other boilers and furnaces. This is due in part to the OkoFEN systems using a single steel welded vessel and not sectional cast iron. These systems also have only three designed wear items that in themselves are designed to last 5-10 years and which are inexpensive to replace. This planned design allows the system as a whole to last many decades. Modern wood heating system installations can take 2-3 days to complete, depending on the site."

"question": "What is the toughest slope in the Mid-Atlantic?",
"answer": "This question could stir an enjoyable exchange about the best tests for skiers and snowboarders in our region. Shay’s Revenge. Jim picks Snowshoe’s Shay’s Revenge, above, as the toughest slope in the state of West Virginia. But his pick for the toughest slope in the Mid-Atlantic is Extrovert at Blue Knob. Photo provided by Snowshoe Mountain Resort. Before I get rolling on it I need to explain a few caveats. The scope of my discussion includes only the ski areas of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and a cluster along the southern border of Pennsylvania. These are areas I know fairly well and have visited, except as noted. They are also those most frequented by D.C. and Baltimore skiers and snowboarders. Some resorts I have skied extensively, others, admittedly, only once or twice. In a few cases my last visits were five or more years ago, making my experiences a bit stale. As a recreational skier like many of you, my knowledge base has the limitations of an amateur. I kept my snapshot commentaries on various ski areas very simplistic to minimize the “B.S.” factor. I welcome elaboration from all readers. I’m no super expert, but I like to sample ski resorts and I’ve been capable enough over the last 30+ years to ski everything I’ve seen that passes for a black diamond run in the Mid-Atlantic. My assessments are not meant to be authoritative, but are offered for entertainment value on a subject of interest to all serious skiers and snowboarders. Picking the “toughest” of anything is a subjective exercise. An expert skier from New England, the American West, or Europe might chuckle at the premise of really tough slopes anywhere in the Mid-Atlantic. Certainly the geography of our region precludes seriously extreme terrain; nor do we have the kind of steep, lengthy in-bound runs found elsewhere that can turn your legs to jelly and set your lungs to heaving after one descent. I could argue, however, that everything is relative. Something of a challenge can be found at almost all of our local ski areas for the average Mid-Atlantic recreational skier or boarder. We all have a gut feeling on what’s the toughest slope, but the more I thought about it, the less cut and dry the answer became. An intermediate trail covered with icy bumps can be much tougher to handle than a perfectly groomed black diamond run. “Steeper than hell” is the obvious first qualification (a number of tough slopes around the country bear this moniker), but weather and grooming also factor in to the slope difficulty equation, including snow/ice conditions, presence and size of bumps, narrowness, trees and glades, and the unpredictability of off-the-trail-map terrain. You could even consider the physical condition of the individual skier/boarder and the condition of their equipment as a difficulty factor. Enough boneheaded philosophy, here’s my two cents on the subject by state. In the state of Virginia there just isn’t a real tough slope. I’ve never been to The Homestead. My impression is that they have a terrific lodge/resort complex with a small, benign ski area added for the enjoyment of winter guests. Bryce Mountain is a great little beginner and family mountain about two hours west of D.C. on I-66. Bryce offers a relaxing trail system. The narrow little trail “Hangover” presents an opportunity to link a few quick turns, as might White Lightening, but everything else is pretty much easy cruising. Wintergreen, down near Charlottesville, is not quite as tame and offers a greater range of intermediate and advanced runs. It’s been three or four years since I’ve been there. From my experience, when “Upper Cliffhanger” was bumped up it delivered enough challenge to demand close attention. I don’t remember similar steepness or bumps on “Wild Turkey”, another black diamond slope at Wintergreen. I’ve skied quite a bit at Massanutten near Harrisonburg. While the two enjoyable runs off their quad chair, “Diamond Jim” and “Paradice,” are designated as expert only terrain, neither has any seriously steep sections. I’ve found that the top of “Dixie Dare” off the Rebel Yell double chair is more likely to be the toughest slope at Massanutten, especially by mid-season when management usually allows it to develop pretty good sized bumps. My vote for the toughest slope in Virginia is “Dixie Dare” at Massanutten. Wisp, the only ski area in Maryland, does not contain anything more difficult than can be found in the state of Virginia. Wisp lies in the far western corner of Maryland and gets a relatively generous dose of natural snow. It is located near Deep Creek Lake, which presents some nice views from the top of the slopes and great summertime diversions. Wisp has a number of interesting and well maintained intermediate runs, but there is nothing there to really rattle your teeth. I have never been to Winterplace in southern West Virginia, but I have not heard of any fearsome terrain there. The terrain at Canaan Valley ski area in the northeastern quadrant of West Virginia is comparable to Wisp and Wintergreen. I enjoyed the variety of undulating intermediate runs. I haven’t skied there much, but the run “Gravity” seemed to be one of their steepest offerings. I am not aware of any hair raising runs at Canaan Valley. “The Drop” at Timberline is pretty steep. I am not sure about the difficulty level of two additional black diamond runs between “The Drop” and the lazy two mile beginner slope “Salamander,” as they weren’t open during several visits I made to Timberline. I have heard that some challenging, off-the-trail-map (and probably unauthorized) skiing exists at Timberline and in the nearby Dolly Sods wilderness area. This wouldn’t surprise me given all the telemarkers I’ve observed on the slopes of Timberline. Some telemarkers I’ve talked to were former alpine skiers who made the switch to introduce more challenge to their skiing and gain access to wilder terrain. Snowshoe, in the east-central section of West Virginia, contains a good range of what I would call advanced intermediate slopes. “Cupp Run,” in their Northwest Territory, is one of the best and longest examples of this in the Mid-Atlantic region. “Shays Revenge” parallels “Cupp Run” and also descends the same 1500 vertical feet. The upper portion of “Shays Revenge” is a cruiser’s delight, but the truly black diamond lower section features a headwall with the longest, steepest mogul field south of the Mason-Dixon line; i.e., Pennsylvania. Snowshoe blows a lot of snow on this steep section and it is generally open with big bumps for a major portion of the ski season. It’s a good bet for those looking for reliable access to a local slope with some serious challenge. The southern third of the state of Pennsylvania contains seven ski areas; many have been enjoyed by Mid-Atlantic skiers for decades. The toughest runs at Roundtop in south-central Pennsylvania are “Gunbarrel” and “Ramrod.” They contain steep and typically bumpy, but short pitches. Nearby, Whitetail is noted for a 900’ vertical drop, the largest in close proximity to D.C. Several consistently steep runs descend from the Whitetail high-speed quad. At least one of them, “Bold Decision,” is allowed to bump-up and can provide considerable challenge. Liberty, also located in this area of Pennsylvania, has a couple of short but very steep and moguled trails on the backside of their mountain, “Upper Strata” and “Ultra.” With a lighting system that provides nearly 100% coverage, Liberty has some of the toughest night skiing terrain available to Mid-Atlantic skiers and boarders. I have never been to Hidden Valley or Laurel Mountain ski areas in southwestern Pennsylvania. It is my understanding that Hidden Valley caters to families looking for affordability and features moderate terrain. Nearby, the venerable Seven Springs offers a great deal of ski terrain, including a number of short, relatively steep runs on the front face of the mountain. They are usually well groomed and very manageable, but moguls are allowed to grow on a couple, making them considerably tougher. Last, but not least, is Blue Knob, also located in western Pennsylvania. Blue Knob contains several runs that are probably tougher than any found at the other ski areas covered in this discussion. The steep, bumpy, but relatively wide run at Blue Knob called “Extrovert” is perhaps a smidge longer and steeper than the headwall of lower “Shays Revenge” at Snowshoe, West Virginia. The steep section of “Extrovert” has a significant vertical drop that I would estimate is in the neighborhood of 750’. A couple of narrow, advanced trails bisect “Extrovert,” adding a bit of a chaotic factor. The comparison between “Extrovert” and “Shays Revenge” is close, but Blue Knob’s legendary foul weather and less user friendly surface conditions make “Extrovert” tougher. I guess you’d call that a qualified nod to “Extrovert” and Blue Knob in general. The obscure and all natural “Lower Shortway,” also at Blue Knob, contains a short, steep and extremely narrow (15’) segment. The steepest part of “Lower Shortway” demands the ability to make a series of quick linked turns. Other trails like “Edgeset” and “Lower 66” demand similar skill. I am less familiar with the gladed terrain Blue Knob has cleared and officially opened up in the last few years. “East Glades Wall” parallels “Extrovert,” but is not as long a descent. It appears almost as steep and is heavily cluttered with trees and rocks. As I write this, the Mid-Atlantic is experiencing a serious January thaw. Let’s hope it ends soon. Early February usually brings the optimal weather and snow conditions for testing the best and toughest skiing and boarding terrain available in our region. My racking and stacking of the toughest slopes in the Mid-Atlantic is all personal opinion and not backed up by any measurements or engineering surveys. If I’ve omitted, mischaracterized, or belittled your favorite run, go ahead and set me straight if you care to; for now I’ll stand by my toughest choices. Hey Denton has a couple slopes that have a 66% drop the whole way down the mountian. Also, there is a slope with a 66% drop and it is all trees it is rated triple diamond. Now Denton is has the toughest slope around. As always, thanks for the great article! This one should prompt a lot of debate. John Phillips in his Mid-Atlantic ski and snowboard guide points out in his introductory remarks that the constant freezing and thawing in the Mid-Atlantic produces some of the iciest moguls in the country. The region clearly is not renowned for steep or long trails but the conditions factor is worth emphasizing! I think any Mid-Atlantic skier can feel proud of making his or her way down Extrovert on a late season day with bare spots. My big thesis on the Mid-Atlantic is that the crappy, marginal conditions can turn the hard-core faithful into skiers capable of skiing most marked trails in the world. I agree with your general comment that Timberline is basically an intermediate mountain. When groomed, black trails such as White Lightning or Upper Thunderstruck are basically intermediate cruisers—nice long cruisers with some interesting terrain features, but cruisers nonetheless. The Drop and Off the Wall (natural snow slopes which rarely open) do offer some challenge to experts, but they are indeed too short to compare with Shay’s or Extrovert. The Cherry Bowl Glades were apparently interesting (I’ve never skied them), but management closed them this year. One trail that can kick you under bumped up, late season conditions is the narrow Silver Street, which basically runs under the Silver Queen Chair. It’s narrow width means that there are only a 1-2 lines down the trail late in the season, and all falls will be critiqued by lift riders above. continuous slope in PA. The run also has somewhat of a slant from left to right, and moguls on the right hand side for the expert skiier. This run must rank very high in the mid-atlantic. It’s a must ski. It also depends on how you ski. For us want to be down hillers. Regionally nothing beats the leg burn on cup run at snowshoe. If you skip top to bottom no stop at speed it is a challenge to behold. The old “take for ever chair” was the only draw back to skiing it this way. I definetly agree that Snowshoe has the best skiing in WV . The trails are longer than all other resorts. I also agree that Shay’s Revenge is the toughest slope..but Cupp Run is also very challenging and I wouldNt consider it intermediate by any means due to its length and terrain that can build incredible speed. No one belongs on it that is not an experienced skier. If conditions are right, I’d rather ski Blue Knob than Snowshoe because of runs like “66” and “Extrovert”. The “East Glades” are a great run (I love the trees). Blue Knob is closer than the Shoe and makes for a good day trip. Unfortunately, it can’t claim the consistency of Snowshoe so The Shoe outshines the Knob most of the time. I skied “Extrovert” about 10 times last year. Even though Blue Knob got lots of snow last year, it was still an icy mess. However, it helped to teach me how to ski anything. I must agree that Lower Shay’s is a difficult slope. Its steep mogul field is usually covered with a hard shell of ice (at least the few times I’ve skied it) that demands confidence, control, and execution. Bold Decision at Whitetail is also a fun trail and becomes a nice challenge when allowed to bump-up. shays revenge is good if you like cross country skiing! the whole slope should be on the other side of the mountain with the rest of the bunny slopes. it start off good then you get to this part where even the best skiier has to push and make his way for the last part of the slope which is the most difficult. i am a west virginia native now being blessed with the west coast but my favorite run of all is Cupp run. its fast ,steep, long, usually bumpy, and the new high speed is hard to beat! for west virginia and pretty much all of the east coast, CUPP CAN NOT BE BEAT!!!!!! I’d like to put Laurel Mt. on my list of places to visit next season. Do you know anything about accomodations/places to eat in the area. I’m inclined to stay at the Day’s Inn in Somerset. For $34.00 a night, it is hard to beat. Also, Somerset has some really good and cheap eats. Denton state park claims to have a 66% slope called Avalanche."

{
"question": "and if so how long is the trail?",
"answer": "I’ve skied some of the Mid-Atlantic resorts you mentioned in your article as well as many eastern and western resorts. I can tell you that when Shay’s bumps are icy they can be as tough to ski as many of the western mogul runs. The run might be shorter and not as steep but the west lighter, softer snow will cushion and slow down you descent while the ice at Shay’s will propel you down adding the speed and the difficulty of slowing down. I’ve skied most the named trails mentioned. Extrovert at Blue Knob ia also tough as the pitch is not quite fall line and the “Blue Knob Powder” (Blue Ice) demands sharp edges. But the King Steeps is with out a doubt, Lower Wildcat at Laurel Mountain, last year run by Seven Springs. (2004-2005) You will be entertained and challenged to the hilt. Go Double Diamond ! I awoke in Canaan Valley to 36” of snow on Saturday. Sure, alot of places in the Mid-Atlantic would be great if the “snow was right” but Timberline’s true potential shined through to me that day. I am not aware of another set of glades that go from top to bottom, with consistent fall line, and offer such a variety of lines and spacing as Timberline. Blue Knob (motto: Ski Good or Eat Wood) is my home mountain so I was shocked/thrilled to see what people aren’t talking about in regards to inbounds skiing at Timberline. As for the locals there, I know why you aren’t talking!"

{
"question": "Will my baby be born on its due date?",
"answer": "Very few babies arrive on their estimated due date (EDD). Most babies are ready to be born from 37 weeks onwards, but some do not make an appearance until days after the EDD/due date! However, we do not recommend that pregnancy be allowed to go beyond 42 weeks so induction of labour will be offered around this time."
},
{
"question": "What will I need to get ready for labour and the birth of my baby?",
"answer": "Whether you're planning to have your baby at home, in hospital or at a midwifery unit, you should get a few things ready at least two weeks before your due date."
},
{
"question": "What will happen when I go into labour?",
"answer": "Before your labour becomes properly established you may have a period of contractions that are quite short lasting, irregular and mild in strength. This is known as the latent phase. Contractions can come and go over several days before established labour starts. This is normal. The best thing to do is stay calm and relaxed at home until your labour is better established. In these early stages it is good to find something to distract you from the contractions. You might what to listen to some music, watch television or go for a walk. Have plenty to drink and frequent light meals or snacks. If you are tired try to rest. Having a warm bath or shower and using a hot water bottle or gel pack to apply some local heat to your lower back or underneath your bump can really help. You may also want to try taking 2 paracetomol, every 4 to 6 hours, remembering you cannot have more than 8 tablets in 24 hours. Over time your contractions will become longer lasting and stronger. If this is your first baby you will normally need to be experiencing at least two or three contractions, that last 45 seconds or more, every 10 minutes before you are in active labour. It is possible for active labour to start more suddenly, particularly if you have already had a vaginal birth. Remember every birth is different, so it is best to stay relaxed and be prepared for whatever happens. It is usually a good idea to stay at home until your labour is properly established but this is not always possible. You can ring the MAC at any time to speak to a midwife if you need some advice."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to book a water birth?",
"answer": "No. If the birthing pool is free when you arrive at the hospital you can ask your midwife if you can use it. You do not need to have attended the waterbirth class. For some women a waterbirth is not recommended, your midwife will discuss this with you. My midwife has offered me a stretch and sweep."
},
{
"question": "and why has she offered it to me?",
"answer": "You may be offered a membrane sweep to help you go into labour before 42 weeks. It is more likely to help you to go into labour naturally. The membrane sweep involves your obstetrician or midwife placing a finger into the cervix and making a circular, sweeping movement to separate the membranes that surround the baby, or massaging the cervix if this is not possible. It may cause some discomfort, pain or a small amount of bleeding, which is normal. You should be offered a membrane sweep at your 40 and 41 week antenatal appointments during your first pregnancy, or your 41 week antenatal appointment if you have had a baby before. To avoid a pregnancy lasting longer than 42 weeks; known as a prolonged pregnancy. Normally a pregnancy lasts from between 37 and 42 weeks. If a woman’s waters break near to your due date but labour hasn’t started after 24 hours (around 7/10 women will go into labour naturally within 24 hours after the waters have broken). There are a number of ways that labour can be started and to decide the best way for you, your midwife will need to carry out a vaginal examination to assess the cervix. The methods used to induce labour include: Prostaglandin induction (tablet/gel) and/or breaking the waters. As labour approaches the cervix changes from a long tube to a flat disc and can start to open up a little (dilate). If you have had some contractions or period type pain, these changes may already have occurred. If this is the case it may be possible to break your waters at this point. However, for most women it is necessary to use prostaglandins to start labour. My doctor says I need to have a caesarean section."
},
{
"question": "What will happen?",
"answer": "There are situations where the safest option for you and your baby is to have a caesarean section. Your Obstetrian may recommend a caesarean section to you in the presence of certain risk factors. He/She will discuss this with you. You will be given time to think about the information you are given and to ask questions. Once delivery has been planned some extra tests will be carried out for you in the hospital antenatal clinic. You will then be given a date and time to come in to have your baby. You will be asked to fast from mid-night the night before your admission. The delivery is nearly always performed using an epidural/spinal anaesthesia, which means you will be awake for the birth of your baby. The baby will be delivered through the abdomen. A cut is made just below the bikini line, so the scar is usually hidden in your pubic hair. It is a major operation, and will take some time to recover from. You will be given painkillers to help with the pain, which are safe if you are breastfeeding. You should expect to stay in hospital for a few nights."

"question": "Q: Is the decision of IBAS binding on me and the gambling operator?",
"answer": "The Gambling Commission, which acts as IBAS’s ‘Competent Authority’ (the body that approves our status to issue adjudications on disputes) requires that our rulings are not legally binding on customers, so if you are dissatisfied with the outcome of our process you are still free to pursue the issue through the court system. The Gambling Commission says that IBAS rulings must be binding on gambling operators up to the value of £10,000. If the value of the dispute exceeds this level, then the operator is free to assert that the case should be heard by a court. In practice, we have found that there are very few occasions where an operator has refused to adhere to an IBAS ruling, whatever its financial value."
},
{
"question": "WILL DOING THIS WEAKEN MY CASE?",
"answer": "This depends on how any sum that you have been offered is described.If a gambling operator makes you an offer to resolve a dispute or complaint as a \"full and final settlement\" (or something similarly described) you are unlikely to be able to make a reasonable claim at a later date for any further payment. However, if for example a gambling operator is willing to pay you, say, £50 but you believe that you should be entitled to a total of £100, you are fully entitled to collect the £50 (which we describe as the undisputed part of the settlement) and continue to contest that you are owed the remaining £50. Collecting the undisputed part of a payment does not weaken your case at all.If you do collect an undisputed part of a payment, it is important to explain to the gambling operator that you are collecting only the undisputed part of the settlement, that you do not accept that you have been treated fairly and that you plan to complain further both to the company's customer service department and, potentially, to IBAS. If you do not explain this, the operator may reasonably believe that you have accepted their settlement, which could result in important evidence not being retained, making it harder for IBAS or a court to adjudicate on your dispute at a later date."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why should I trust IBAS to be fair when it is the gambling companies whose fees pay for the service?",
"answer": "IBAS is funded by gambling companies because the Gambling Commission requires those companies to offer a free adjudication service for customers. Our independence and commitment to fairness comes from our team – which consists of industry professionals, experienced sports and betting journalists and Case Managers with relevant knowledge, interest in the subject matter and personal integrity. Gambling companies have no say and are never consulted about our decisions other than asking them to submit an explanation about a dispute (in the same way as the customer does) and also answer any relevant follow-up queries from our panellists (as customers also are).Our ethos is to be fair and transparent, considering disputes based on the facts including rules or terms. The panel may make an assessment of the fairness of those terms, but again this will be done in accordance with independent expert guidance, while customers still retain the right to take a case afterwards to law."

{
"question": "Q: Can I appeal against my ruling?",
"answer": "You will need to present some new evidence that was not made available when we first considered the case. We don’t conduct reviews of our rulings just because the recipient is unhappy with them. That goes equally for customers and operators. In every dispute there are two sides who believe that they are in the right. We have to accept that with every ruling we make one of the two parties unhappy."
},
{
"question": "Q: If you find in my favour can you guarantee that I will get paid?",
"answer": "It is a condition of being registered with IBAS that gambling operators agree to abide by our adjudications and in almost all cases there will be no problems. If you receive a ruling in your favour but encounter difficulty getting paid then please contact our office immediately. We would strike off our register any company that refused to comply with an IBAS ruling (unless they lodged a successful appeal or overturned the decision in court) but we have no legal powers to force a company to make a payment. If our Panel adjudicate in your favour we will do everything that we can to ensure that you are paid and there are no problems in 99% of the cases that we consider."

"question": "If I suffer a hearing loss due to my job, are hearing aids covered by workers’ compensation?",
"answer": "Workers in many professions—including construction workers, teachers, ambulance drivers, musicians, and air traffic controllers—risk suffering permanent hearing loss from their jobs. Sometimes they may not realize they have difficulty hearing or that they hear a ringing noise in their ears until after they leave their employment. If you suffered a hearing loss caused by dangerous levels of noise at your job, you could be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits if you can prove your hearing loss was caused by your employment. You cannot file a claim for benefits until four consecutive weeks have passed since the removal of exposure to the hazardous noise level. Removal of exposure to excessive noise can include the use of effective hearing protection devices. Your award will not be reduced if your ability to understand speech is improved by the use of hearing aids. You would not be entitled to benefits if your employer could prove that you willfully failed to use suitable protective devices provided by your employer despite repeated warnings. Workers’ compensation claims for hearing loss can be complicated, and you need an experienced workers’ compensation attorney to help you fight for the benefits you could be entitled to. Call me at 877-360-0183 to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to learn how I can assist you."

"question": "How are you, the McCorkle\tSurname Y-DNA Project administrator, going to protect my privacy?",
"answer": "Please see the Privacy FAQ page. Personally identifiable information is never presented on this site unless expressly requested by the participant. 2."
},
{
"question": "How do I contact another participant on this site?",
"answer": "Send the project administrator an email with the Kit number of the participant you wish to contact (select Contacts in the Menu at left). Your name and email address will be forwarded to that participant, who then has an option of replying to your request or not. Ideally, everyone will reply, but it is possible that the donor may want to maintain their privacy. 3. I have relatives who may want to join this project."
},
{
"question": "What should I do?",
"answer": "Send your relative's name and email address to the project administrator. Just remember that the potential donor must be a living male McCorkle descendant. If you prefer, you may submit a join request and ask for a test kit to be sent directly from FamilyTreeDNA.com. 4."
},
{
"question": "Is there more information about DNA on the Internet?",
"answer": "Yes, quite a bit. Just enter genealogy dna or genetic genealogy in your favorite search engine. 5."
},
{
"question": "Why is it that you insist on male members with surname McCorkle?",
"answer": "The Y chromosome of a man's DNA is passed unaltered from himself to his son. Also, in most cultures, surnames are passed from father to son (children don't usually take their mother's surname). Therefore, by comparing DNA of two males with the same surname, it can be determined whether or not they are related. If there is a close DNA match, then the two men probably share an ancester within the timeframe of surname use (typically, over the past 500-800 years), which could be corroborated using traditional genealogical research. 6."
},
{
"question": "Do the DYS markers contain personal information related to a person's health or inheritance of disease-related genes?",
"answer": "No. A small strand of the Y chromosome is tested, but the portions (markers) used are inoccuous junk strands. 7."
},
{
"question": "How do I provide my patrilinneal (all-male) ancestor information for inclusion on the web site?",
"answer": "Please visit the Ancestor Input Form. Instructions are provided there. If you have previously provided your ancestry data, but you have since discovered additional information, or you wish to correct an error, please use the form to re-submit your info. This will automatically generate an email to the webmaster, who will add your input to the web site. 8."
},
{
"question": "If two participants from the same genealogical lineage have substantially different DYS marker results, what could be the cause?",
"answer": "It might be that one of the participants' McCorkle\tancestor came into the family through a non-paternity event (a.k.a. NPE, such as adoption, infidelity, step-children, etc.). Most likely, however, it means the subject participants are not related, and that, therefore, the traditional paper-trail research contains an error."

{
"question": "Do you ship to Canada, Australia and other countries?",
"answer": "One chicken laying nest box for every three to four hens is recommended by some and one to every four to five by others, so 1 to 4 is a good ratio to keep in mind. Wood-free Fowl Stuff nest boxes can be an important part of your poultry biosecurity program. Flock owners understand the importance of keeping their birds healthy and 100% recyclable plastic Fowl Stuff nest boxes can help reduce the chances of your birds being exposed to parasites and animal diseases. Wood, metal and other plastic nest box units don’t offer the enclosure benefits, of Fowl Stuff nest boxes, to keep rodents out. Cleaning and sanitizing Fowl Stuff nest boxes is quick and easy which helps to keep lice, mites, fleas, other parasites and bacteria under control. Not all 100% plastic laying nest boxes are equal. Some are designed with “stack-ability” of the plastic parts being more important than the benefits of using plastic. They are molded so they can be stacked as tightly together as possible to achieve the most economical shipping rates. By doing so, the advantages of a 100% plastic laying nest box are lost. There is no back to those units, much like the old fashioned conventional galvanized laying nest boxes. The wall of the chicken coop becomes the back wall of the nest box! The nest box may be 100% plastic as it came out of the shipping box, but once mounted you have a nest box that is part plastic and part wood or whatever your wall is made of. Cracks and crevices in wood are the places lice and red mites like to call “Home”. Even plastic units that boast of large vent holes in the back may get mounted flat on a wall and loose the benefits of a plastic enclosure. Plastic nest boxes that come with “vent” holes already molded into them may actually be made that way to reduce the amount of plastic needed to produce the parts and cost savings. In some climates vent holes for added air circulation may be beneficial. Using a drill with about a 3/8” diameter bit any number of small vent holes can be added as needed and should be located on the sides of the box, near the back. There is also an alternate installation plan for quick removal of the nest box and it allows for vent holes in the back of the unit. Please refer to the YouTube video below for details about this special installation. 3/8” diameter holes may not stop most insects from entering the nest box, but should keep rodents and other small animals out while allowing for maximum air circulation. Large vent holes, especially in the back of nest boxes, can offer easy access to mice, snakes and other varmints. If large vent holes are used they should be covered with hardware cloth to keep the varmints out. Fowl Stuff laying nest boxes were designed with both chickens and people in mind. Our nest boxes are made of polypropylene plastic, not that it is any cheaper than wood, metal or other materials, but because it is better. Many of the benefits are stated on the Home page. Our high quality pails are heavy 90mil plastic, while economy pails are only 70 – 75mil. We didn’t skimp on the amount of plastic used in making the other parts either. Where thicker sections of material were needed they received it and where ribbing was needed it was provided. All of this was intentional and it all added to the strength and durability of the individual parts. The designs of the way the cover snaps onto the box and the way the perch snaps into the cover are unique, but they came about from many years of design experience with the mating of plastic parts. Fowl Stuff nest boxes were designed for average laying hen. If your chickens can fit into a 5 gallon pail and turn around then our nest boxes are big enough for your birds and that includes most breeds of large fowl chickens. Some people look at a photo of a nest box and say it “looks too small” without knowing the actual size and forgetting that animals not only go thru holes and into areas that look too small for them all the time and they sometimes prefer cozy quarters. A Fowl Stuff Cover & Perch attached to a 3 ½ gallon pail makes a great nest box for bantam chickens and pigeons. The 6” opening, in the cover, is large enough for most standard chickens, including all bantams and most large fowl hens up to about 6 ½ pounds. For heavy breeds the cover hole may be increased to 8”, if needed. Ribbing on the inside of the cover reveals the outline of the area that is specially designed to be cut out for this purpose. Please install the nest boxes before your pullets start to lay so they will be familiar with them and will have had plenty of opportunities to check them out before trying to figure out where to lay that first egg when the time comes. Once they are accustomed to laying eggs on the floor or some other place in the coop it is very difficult to change their habits. Using artificial nest eggs and some of the other ideas mentioned on the page can help encourage your hens to lay their eggs in the nest boxes. If you want to give your hens some options, try mounting Fowl Stuff nest boxes at different heights and locations in your chicken coops or chicken tractors. They should be mounted lower than any roosts that the birds use (roost on) at night. I recommend having the nest box perches at least 18 inches from the floor and no higher than about 32 inches for large fowl chickens. The nest boxes (cover, perch & pail) are made with UV protectant to protect the plastic from sunlight, but still hens generally prefer nest boxes located in a dark corner rather than in areas where the sun shines on them thru a window or there are bright lights. Be inventive. Put one here and another there, put them in a nice neat row if you wish, mount them in the shape of a pyramid or whatever. Remember, since Fowl Stuff nest boxes are individual units they don’t have to all be on the same wall in a row like conventional units with multiple holes. We could have molded Fowl Stuff nest boxes with a dovetail design so they connect together side-by-side but there is no reason for it. Besides, it is best to not mount any individual units so close together that birds can fly on top and get their legs caught between the boxes. Fowl Stuff nest boxes can be easily cleaned and sanitized. Wood shavings may be vacuumed out with a shop vac or the cover can be unsnapped to allow the shavings to be removed and then snapped back on. The nest boxes can be quickly wiped down and the perches are easily removed for thorough cleaning in a pail with soap and water. If the units are removed from the walls they may also be power washed at home or taken to the car wash. There is also an optional installation plan that allows for “quick removal” of the nest boxes. Given the option hens may just use the nest boxes they grew up with and are used to. The idea is not to give the hens several options of nest boxes to choose from. The design of our Fowl Stuff nest boxes make them better for chickens than other nest boxes, like wood, metal and other plastic ones. The idea is to replace all existing nest boxes with Fowl Stuff 100% plastic nest boxes. The old galvanized nest boxes make great lawn ornaments or planters, while wood and cardboard nest boxes should be disposed of. Use Astroturf or a generous amount of wood shavings (not sawdust) in the nest boxes to reduce the possibility of egg breakage and to make the hens comfortable. Cedar shavings may be toxic to chickens, but pine and other woods are generally OK. If straw is used it should be soft and short stemmed. Pine needles, leaves, shredded paper and other materials may be used, but make sure they are dry, soft, and not harmful to hens and eggs. Hay is feed, not bedding and doesn’t belong in nest boxes. Sprinkle in Diatomaceous Earth (DE) to help control mites, lice, fleas and other parasites in the nesting material year round. The result is happier, healthier and more productive hens. The opening in the Fowl Stuff nest box cover is over 4 inches from the bottom of the box to allow for a lot of nesting material. Most other nest boxes have much less area to contain the shavings or other nesting material and much more of it gets scratched out by the hens. This is one reason they often show straw or even hay in photos of those nest boxes. Some of the other nest boxes offer a rollout egg feature for a bit more money and for even more money you can buy a lid to cover the collection tray. They make it all sound beneficial and the egg rollout idea is great for commercial laying operations, but it doesn’t work all that well with most nest boxes used for backyard flocks. The rollout plastic nest bottom isn’t a natural environment for a hen to lay eggs. It’s just not natural for hens to lay eggs on a piece of plastic any more than it is for them to lay on wire. Hens like wild birds prefer dry soft materials to line their nests."

{
"question": "What other pails do the Fowl Stuff covers fit?",
"answer": "Fowl Stuff nest box covers were designed to fit Fowl Stuff nest boxes. Our “boxes” are pails (aka buckets) manufactured by Encore Plastics, in Ohio, and our covers fit their standard 3 ½ and 5 gallon pails. They also fit some pails manufactured by Century Container, Leaktite and others. Of course we recommend complete Fowl Stuff nest box units. Then you know the parts will fit properly and you will get heavy duty 90mil pails. If you supply your own pails please take a nest box cover to the store with you to check the fit on the pails before buying them. Below are photos of Fowl Stuff Covers & Perches on Encore 3 ½ gallon pails. These make a great size nest box for those that only have bantam chickens."
},
{
"question": "How much do Fowl Stuff nest boxes cost?",
"answer": "Fowl Stuff nest boxes are very economical. Prices vary by retailer and links to the retailers are listed on the Buy Now page. Two complete FSNB11 nest boxes are generally $50 or less, so you can buy two for the price of one of the competitor’s boxes (plus mine are better). If you buy in quantities of 6 the price is generally even lower. The FSTB11 nest boxes designed for chicken tractors, so eggs can be collected from outside, are higher priced due to the additional parts and labor. You can purchase just the Cover & Perch to use with your own pail to save even more and they also come individually bagged for retail stores. Some retailers offer special prices when you buy Covers & Perches in quantities of six or more. When you figure your material and labor you can’t build a nest box yourself with these features, as cheaply as you can buy Fowl Stuff complete nest boxes and Fowl Stuff Covers & Perches."
},
{
"question": "Where are Fowl Stuff nest boxes made?",
"answer": "I know that to some folks it doesn’t really matter where the products they purchase are made. With some items, especially electronics, you don’t always have a choice. With most poultry supplies you do have a choice and I prefer buying items made in the U.S. or Canada. Being from Michigan, with Ontario closer than most states it never mattered to me which side of the great lakes products were made. Fowl Stuff nest boxes are made in the states. The boxes (pails) are made in Ohio and the Covers & Perches are made here in mid-Michigan to be precise. The plastic injection mold was made in Michigan too. The incidental parts that we buy, but don’t manufacture, like screws, washers, zip ties, plastic plugs, etc. may be made in other countries."
},
{
"question": "Why are Fowl Stuff nest boxes the color they are?",
"answer": "Hens are attracted to bright light colors, but prefer dark secluded areas to lay their eggs. Our Covers & Perches are bright yellow to get a hen’s attention. Studies prove that when given a choice, chickens are attracted to yellow over red, blue and green. White was not an option in these studies. Our 5 gallon size pails (nest area) are black to offer the desired darkness and feeling of seclusion inside the nest box. This provides a low stress environment for hens to lay their eggs. Our Covers, Perches and pails are also still available in classic white for those that prefer that option. Keep in mind that poultry dust and chicken droppings will always be a problem in any chicken coop and will show on any color. Yes. Use the Order Form on the Buy Now page to place an international order. We use UPS Ground Service for shipments within the continental US and USPS Priority Mail International for most other shipments.

"question": "Are you seeking an authentic and relevant remembrance for a loved one?",
"answer": "If so, I can help you. You may be searching for a way to bring a sense of light ceremonial structure to a very public Celebration of Life, or trying to find guidance for a quietly private ash-scattering ritual. In any case, finding someone to compose and lead the ceremony whose presence ‘feels just right’ is so important. It may be you once did, yet don’t currently have connections with a religious institution, so finding someone to officiate feels like an added challenge during already tough times."
},
{
"question": "Are you willing to perform a ceremony at an outdoor or secular site?",
"answer": "Yes, this is where I most often conduct ceremonies. The site usually holds meaning to or is sacred for the family. This might mean a more upscale resort like Hacienda del Sol or a naturally scenic place like San Rafael Valley."
},
{
"question": "What faiths do you serve?",
"answer": "Any and all. (Or none!) Agnostic, Baha’i Faith, Buddhist, Christian (no denomination), Hindu, Jewish, Shinto, Taoist. I work with families and their deceased who come from different traditions or cultures, finding a middle-way to meet varied needs for honoring their loved ones life."
},
{
"question": "How do you ‘get to know’ the family and or the deceased?",
"answer": "When a family calls me, the first thing we do (after determining if I am available for their ceremony date and time) is meet in person. I visit the family home, or if loved ones are traveling from out of state, we can Skype or use FaceTime. When folks come to town, we meet at whatever hotel or resort is their place of lodging. I sit with a circle of the closest family members for often 2-3 hours. We pace ourselves gently and slowly during a life review of the deceased, catalyzed by questions I bring to the meeting. I work with individuals and families to honor both people and/or animal companions."
},
{
"question": "How quickly can you compose a ceremony if the service is scheduled soon after death?",
"answer": "Depending on my schedule at the time, and the availability of family to help provide their reflections, I can compose a ceremony within 48-72 hours. I have met a family in the afternoon prior to the service, then written an entirely custom ceremony overnight (after a long series of phone and email consultation prior!). Usually upscale casual, with direction from the family. My attire will most likely depend upon the setting."
},
{
"question": "Will you travel to lead a ceremony or assist a family with care at home?",

},
{
"question": "Do you have a list of readings or rituals pre-selected, from which a family must choose?",
"answer": "No, I offer alternatives and suggestions. Families may freely choose what readings or rituals they want, if any. AND – – – I find this is where people find surprising satisfaction in customizing their ceremony. I offer ideas for new kinds of prose, poetry and ritual that they may not have seen, experienced or heard of prior. And with relief, they realize it is exactly what they hoped to find. This is up to the family. Usually, memorials and Celebrations of Life are around an hour long; sometimes longer if there is a free-form remembrance section where people tell stories about the deceased."
},
{
"question": "How are you different from clergy hired by funeral homes?",
"answer": "The differences will vary, depending on place and time. Yet the consistent difference is: I am trained in the art of co-creating ceremony and spend on average 20 hours crafting an entirely custom experience for families, based on the essence of their loved one’s life."
},
{
"question": "How much do you charge for custom ceremonies and family-led funeral services?",
"answer": "This varies depending upon the type of ceremony a family seeks. Because people have varying needs, I offer a range of pricing that includes simple committal ceremonies to more complex and elaborate celebrations involving multiple parties, readings, music and ritual. (To compose and lead a custom ceremony, my fees begin at $350.) PLEASE NOTE: I am a consultant and am in no way considered a funeral director. Any fees or donations I receive are for consulting or educational services. In the case of home funerals, any funds received are for assistance to a family in charge of leading their own funeral, as per Arizona Revised Statutes. Yes, I do have a sound system to support my voice as well as speakers/participants in the ceremony. You can connect an iphone or ipod to the system and play your own music if you wish. I also take ongoing voice lessons and can project naturally to an audience up to 50-75 people depending on the venue. I can also coordinate with a venue to have voice amplification supplied on site."

"question": "I have important concerns about my heart - what information should I be sure to share with my doctor?",
"answer": "Upon an initial examination, a physician is concerned with your current and past medical history, particularly any personal or family history of cardiovascular disease. To help your physician, you should prepare a list of your blood relatives and their diseases (if they have any). List the causes of and ages at death of those relatives who have died. Also list your major illnesses and cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. smoking, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol levels). You should describe in detail any breathing problems, chest pain, palpitations, extreme fatigue, or fainting spells. Explain what you were doing when these symptoms occurred. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please consult your doctor as soon as possible. There are two types of risk factors for heart disease - those that you have no control over and those that you can modify. Uncontrollable risk factors include personal or family history of heart disease that places an individual at higher risk for heart disease regardless of lifestyle choices. Age is another uncontrollable risk factor - men 45 and over and women 55 and over are at an increased risk. There are controllable risk factors that you can control, reducing your likelihood of heart disease. They include: cigarette smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption and chronic stress. If you are trying to minimize your risk for cardiovascular disease, maintain a diet that is low in cholesterol, saturated fats and sodium, exercise regularly and above all, don't smoke! These simple lifestyle changes can help to reduce your blood pressure, blood cholesterol levels, and weight. The average heart rate for an adult is between 65 and 75 beats per minute. Trained athletes can have a pulse rate as low as 50 beats per minute."

{
"question": "Why is high blood pressure called \"the silent killer\"?",
"answer": "A person can suffer hypertension (high blood pressure) for years without even knowing it. There are no discernable symptoms, but the long term effects are serious. Left untreated, hypertension can lead to damage of the heart (enlarged heart, heart attacks, heart failure), kidneys (renal failure), brain (strokes) and the blood vessels (arterial aneurysms and blockage of the arteries). Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the liver and lungs, as well as the feet, ankles and legs because the heart has lost the ability to pump blood effectively throughout the body. It is marked by extreme fatigue and shortness of breath because the heart is unable to supply the necessary oxygen to the rest of the body. CHF is usually caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (hardening of the arteries around the heart), hypertension, and disease of the heart valves. It can also be caused by pulmonary embolism (blot clot in the lungs), infection or a congenital (from birth) abnormality. Treatment may include dietary changes, drug therapies, and sometimes surgery. It is an abnormality in the heart rhythm that can be detected by an electrocardiogram . Arrhythmias can cause minor symptoms and problems, or they can be life threatening. The causes and treatments for arrhythmias can be equally varied. Treatment can include medications, pacemaker or defibrillator implantation, or ablation (the destruction of the tissue of the heart causing the disorder). Homocysteine is a metabolic product of one of the amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Excessively high levels of homocysteine in the blood can damage the arterial walls and predispose blood factors to form clots. Between 20% to 40% of the people with clogged arteries, strokes and heart attacks have elevated levels of this substance. B-complex vitamins (B6, B12 and folic) can help the body dispose of excessive homocysteine."
},
{
"question": "What is an ECG (or EKG)?",
"answer": "An electrocardiogram is a non-invasive test which records the electrical impulses of the heart. An abnormal ECG can indicate arrhythmias, enlarged heart, or damage to the heart muscle. However, by itself, this test is not conclusive. Half of all patients with heart disease can have a normal ECG, and further testing must be done if cardiac problems are suspected. A stress test is a non-invasive test that records the electrical impulses of the heart during exercise. In some cases, a follow-up test is performed where a radioactive dye called thallium is injected into the blood stream. The heart is then scanned and pictures are taken, allowing the physicians to visualize the blood flow through the arteries of the heart. A non-invasive test that produces a live-action image of the heart through sound waves (ultrasound); echocardiography allows doctors to observe the heart muscle pumping and to visualize the heart chambers and portions of the heart that are enlarged ."
},
{
"question": "What is ultrafast Computed Tomography (or ultrafast CT/CAT Scan)?",
"answer": "An ultrafast CAT scan is a non-invasive test that provides detailed three-dimensional moving pictures. It can show the heart pumping and the flow of blood through the arteries and chambers of the heart. Using electron beams that scan at a rate of 17 scans per second, this diagnostic tool can delineate the coronary arteries and the calcium deposits in them. Such deposits commonly indicate the amount of blockage in the arteries. PET is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that detects high energy gamma rays from multiple x-ray sources that surround the patient to produce high resolution, three-dimensional images of the heart muscle and blood flow. It can be especially useful for determining whether the heart muscle cells are temporarily or permanently damaged and thus which course of treatment is best."
},
{
"question": "What is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)?",
"answer": "MRI is another non-invasive diagnostic procedure that uses radio waves with a magnet and computers to create three dimensional images of internal organs, such as the heart. It is useful for diagnosing congenital heart defects and diseases of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathies)."
},
{
"question": "What is a cardiac catheterization?",
"answer": "Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that uses X-rays and a dye to view and biopsy the chambers of the heart, its vessels and arteries. During the procedure, a cardiologist inserts a long, slender and flexible tube (catheter )into the groin or arm and guides it to the heart, where the contrast dye is released and pictures are taken. The procedure is used to rule out or diagnose a coronary artery disease and disease of the valves of the heart. Patients are mildly sedated but remain awake during the procedure. Angiography is a type of X-ray of the arteries made after a contrast solution (dye) is injected into the blood stream. In the PTCA procedure, a tiny balloon is placed into an artery by means of a catheter and later inflated to flatten cholesterol plaques against the arterial wall and restore adequate blood flow. A stent is a one-inch wire mesh tube made of stainless steel that is used during angioplasty to keep collapsed arteries open. Stents are implanted during catheterization and once the balloon inflates the vessel and stent, the stent remains open and the catheter is extracted. A pacemaker is an implanted device that sends electrical impulses to the heart so that it pumps at a rate sufficient for the needs of the body. Modern technology has advanced this device to the point where it can be programmed to change the heart rate depending if the body is at rest or under stress. A pacemaker can be temporary or permanent and is powered by a battery that can last up to 15 years. In this procedure, a small portion of a vein in the leg or a vessel from the chest is removed and grafted to the healthy parts above and below the blocked portion of a coronary artery. The graft re-routes the blood flow around the obstructed portion of the vessel restoring blood flow to the heart. The symptoms of a heart attack are varied and may include sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, light-headedness, or chest pain that radiates to the shoulders, neck or jaw. If you are experiencing these symptoms, call 911 immediately. Do not drive yourself to the hospital. Call a friend or neighbor for assistance after calling 911 if you are able. An endarterectomy is an invasive surgical procedure to remove plaque from within an artery. Carotid arteries may be candidates for endarterectomies to prevent strokes. A stroke is the disruption of the normal flow of blood to the brain, damaging or destroying brain tissue. Strokes are the third leading cause of death in the U.S., behind cardiovascular disease and cancer. There are two different causes for strokes: 20% of all strokes are caused by cerebral hemorrhage, where a cerebral artery breaks causing blood to bleed out into the brain. More commonly, however, is an ischemic (thrombotic, embolic or lacunar) stroke caused by a blockage of arterial blood flow to the brain. Symptoms of a stroke may include muscular weakness or paralysis of one side of the body, slurring or loss of speech or inability in understanding the spoken word, double vision, dizziness or loss of balance. Strokes can be avoided through lifestyle changes (stop smoking, control cholesterol or hypertension, etc.) or through surgical procedures such as endarterectomy to remove the blockage within a vessel. Should stroke occur, immediate treatment may potentially reduce or eliminate its permanent consequences. Cardiomyopathy is a general term for diseases of the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathies impair the heart 's pumping efficiency. They may be genetic or caused by a virus, bacteria, or coronary heart disease. An aneurysm is caused by a weakening of an arterial wall leading to a bubble or balloon-like appearance to the vessel. An aneurysm in vital sites is life threatening because the weakened vessel wall can burst. Aneurysms can be found nearly anywhere in the body; the abdomen, heart, neck, brain, or legs and can only be corrected through surgical procedures."

"question": "What are the cardiovascular issues of hormone therapy replacement in post-menopausal women?",
"answer": "Estrogen increases HDL (the \"good cholesterol\") and decreases LDL (\" the bad cholesterol\"), Reducing the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). In atherosclerosis, a plaque forms on the artery walls, narrowing the flow of blood. Estrogen also has direct effects on the walls of arteries, keeping the blood vessels from constricting, which reduces the blood flow in the coronary arteries. If the coronary blood vessels constrict, chest pain and heart attacks may occur. At menopause, women lose estrogen's protective cardiovascular effects, becoming more vulnerable to heart disease. By age 60, their death rate from heart attacks equals that of men. Because a women's risk of coronary heart disease increases at this time, physicians often recommend HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Women should discuss with their physicians the pros and cons of this therapy."

{
"question": "Seismic Testing is Happening in my Area – What Should I Do?",
"answer": "With shale and coal formations under large areas of the UK, fracking companies need to undertake Seismic Surveys to get some idea of where best to drill. If your area has been Licensed for fracking a Seismic Survey and approaches to landowners for site acquisition are likely to follow. The basic principle of the seismic survey is to create sound waves at the surface which travel down into the ground and reflect back revealing the rock formations beneath. In practice this means covering huge urban and rural areas with arrays of detectors connected by miles of cabling. In vehicle accessible areas (on or near roads) “thumper” trucks are used to create the vibrations, in non-accessible areas explosive charges buried in holes are used. If you get organised quickly it may be possible to put enough pressure on the council to require full planning permission but this has to happen within 28 days of notification by the company. The council can also require a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) to be carried out, adding cost for the company but again only with lots of local awareness and visible pressure applied. Given that the survey involves more than just conventional use of the roads and will include blocking it for periods with trucks, laying cables down the side of roads and bashing up the surface with thumper trucks, targeting the councils highways department could also create delays or stop the survey. A conspicuous campaign across the survey area to inform residents of their rights to refuse access is a great first step. Setting up a helpline and tapping into informal networks (chatting in the pub) may allow you to identify, inform and support landowners that have been approached by the survey company. It may also reveal approaches by land agents and companies looking for test sites. The whole surveying process is extremely vulnerable to concerted local resistance and is the first opportunity a community has to resist. Companies need unfettered access to land across the whole survey area and an informed and organised community is in a very good position to deny this. By banding together and refusing access to lots of properties the cost of the survey can be greatly increased. This happened when Chester Zoo and local farmers refused permission for seismic testing on their land in June 2015. By standing together and supporting landowners to refuse access the community can force fracking companies to change their plans, reduce the survey area or delay/abandon the survey completely. If the company persists they will need to apply to the Secretary of State for “Ancillary Access Rights”. FOI requests by community groups have revealed that Aurora Energy Resources have embarked upon this route at Formby W.Lancs. This “access without permission of the landowner” may allow the survey to progress but is a potential PR disaster for fracking companies if a conspicuous and visible community campaign is waged. If the survey company starts work, a range of strategies and tactics can be employed to disrupt the work. It is also important to record all damage and take pictures of the disruption caused by vehicles, cables and contractors. You may be able to stop or slow the survey and getting pictures of the process will certainly raise awareness about the imminent threat of fracking in your area. The most significant factor in what happens next is building a community response in this area. If we can be of any assistance please email [email protected] or call 07858 614861."

},
{
"question": "Why do the desiccant dehumidifiers produce heat?",
"answer": "This is the only way zeolites are used to control humidity levels in conditioned spaces. Desiccant dehumidifiers need to have a heating element to heat the zeolite in order to regenerate it. Heating the zeolite discharges the absorbed water into the water tank. The zeolite regenerates itself during the heating process and is then able to adsorb more water. But the amount of heat produced by the dehumidifiers is not significant – usually only 3 ~ 5°C higher than room temperature at most."
},
{
"question": "How do zeolites regenerate?",
"answer": "The zeolites are used in the desiccant wheel of our dehumidifiers. When a zeolite is placed in an air stream, it will adsorb moisture up to its maximum capacity (or saturation point) and will not adsorb any more moisture. When the zeolite has reached its saturation point, the dehumidifier runs a stream of hot air through it and vents the moisture away from it. This moisture collects in the dehumidifier’s water tank. This is necessary to prevent the captured moisture from being reintroduced into the conditioned space. After this, the zeolite can begin to adsorb moisture and the cycle is repeated. This is the process of the zeolite regenerating itself. Zeolites are a form of naturally occurring volcanic rock composed of hydrated aluminosilicates of the alkali earth metals. Naturally occurring zeolites are rarely pure and are contaminated to varying degrees by other minerals, metals, quartz, or other zeolites. This is why naturally occurring zeolites are excluded from important commercial applications where uniformity and purity are essential. For commercial use, synthetic zeolites are used. Produced into a uniform, phase-pure state, synthetic zeolites and hold some key advantages over their natural form, namely being in a uniform, phase-pure state. Zeolites have a high affinity for water and are capable of adsorbing and de-sorbing it without damaging its crystal structure. This property makes them very efficient at removing excess moisture from the air. A desiccant is a hygroscopic substance (able to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment) that induces or sustains a state of dryness (desiccation) in its vicinity. Desiccants remove moisture in three ways: Absorption – when a substance is chemically integrated into another, for example, salt dissolving in water and becoming salt water. Adsorption – the physical attraction and adherence of gas or liquid molecules to the surface of a solid. The force of the attraction is very small, van der Waal’s forces, and does not change the physical characteristics of the substance. Chemical reaction or change – a process that changes the chemical structure of the substance. There are four main types of desiccants: Silica gel Montmorillonite clay Molecular sieve (zeolites) Calcium oxide Some desiccant materials can be regenerated (i.e. purged of contaminants and then re-used), whereas some cannot. This depends on the change in the physical structure of the desiccant and the deleterious effects of regeneration on the material. Our desiccant dehumidifiers use Zeolite – and for a very good reason, too. Zeolites are highly efficient at removing moisture from the air. They are also capable of regeneration, meaning your Ionmax dehumidifiers need little to no maintenance at all!"

"question": "What is an equipment asset appraisal?",
"answer": "An equipment asset appraisal is the independent and unbiased process of determining the supportable opinion of value of tangible equipment assets as of a specific date. Appraisals can be performed for a variety of value premises from fair market value in place and in use, to forced liquidation value."
},
{
"question": "How are equipment asset appraisals different from other appraisals?",
"answer": "The unique nature and portability of machinery and equipment create a need for many different valuation terms that don’t exist in other appraisal fields such as real estate or gems and jewels. Many of the items we appraise are unique and that have no comparable sales. Equipment asset appraisals also vary due to the intended use of the appraisal valuation. For example, the valuation method used for forced liquidation in insolvency scenario results in a very different value than valuation for replacement cost needed for an insurance loss claim. This also illustrates why it is critical for our equipment asset appraiser to fully understand the intended use of your appraisal."
},
{
"question": "What kind of equipment appraisal do I need?",
"answer": "We provide FREE consultation of your equipment appraisal needs. By thoroughly reviewing your specific situation, we can accurately determine what type of equipment appraisal you need."
},
{
"question": "How do I choose an equipment appraiser?",
"answer": "It is important to use an equipment appraiser who is a member of the American Society of Appraisers or another organization represented on the Appraisal Foundation Board. Be sure that your appraiser has taken a USPAP course within the last 2 years since USPAP changes frequently. USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) is published and maintained by the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) of the Appraisal Foundation, a non-governmental entity charged by Congress to set all appraisal standards. USPAP identifies a minimum set of standards that apply in all appraisal, appraisal reviews, and appraisal consulting assignments. USPAP has been specified by the IRS as a crucial qualification for many types of appraisal reports, including equipment appraisals for tax-related reasons."

{
"question": "Why is this program being offered?",
"answer": "Recognizing the challenges in pilot recruitment and the shortage of pilots entering the industry, ATP created this program to financially promote the airline pilot career. This program will assist in recruitment of new pilots entering the training pipeline and recruitment of experienced pilots seeking airline employment. This program benefits you by supplementing your pay as a flight instructor and your first year salary as an airline pilot. This program will allow for the majority portion of your monthly student loan payment to be paid by your future employer."
},
{
"question": "How much tuition am I eligible to have reimbursed?",
"answer": "Participating airlines will reimburse you at least $11,000. Payments are made in two phases: During phase 1, the recruitment period which starts at 500 hours total time, you receive monthly payments based on flight time acquired at an hourly rate of $5/hr as you build flight experience toward hiring minimums. You are eligible to receive up to $5,000 during this phase. During phase 2, the retention period which starts upon airline employment, you receive a fixed monthly payment of $500 for a minimum term of 12 months. You are eligible to receive up to $6,000 during this phase."
},
{
"question": "Will $300 per month of airline tuition reimbursement really cover the majority of my student loan payment?",
"answer": "Your monthly payment will vary based on your loan amount and interest rate. Let’s use an average loan amount of $70,000 at an interest rate of 7.5%. Recall that Sallie Mae offers graduated repayment which allows 1 year of interest-only payments (beginning at the end of your 6 month grace period)."
},
{
"question": "Do I receive payments from the participating airline?",
"answer": "ATP will administer the program. The participating airline will pay ATP monthly and ATP will forward the funds to your student loan provider."
},
{
"question": "What if I don’t take out a student loan for flight training?",
"answer": "Students who paid cash for tuition or have already paid off their student loans in full will receive checks directly from ATP. In exchange for airline tuition reimbursement payments, you commit to becoming employed by the participating airline upon reaching eligibility."
},
{
"question": "What are the participating airlines' commitment?",
"answer": "Upon meeting qualification criteria, the participating airline agrees to schedule you a new hire class date within a 30 day employment window. If the participating airline does not hire you within 30 day employment window, you have the option to terminate the agreement and have the promissory note forgiven. You are free to seek employment with another airline. The participating airline will interview you once you’ve reached 500 hrs Total Time. They may elect to extend a conditional offer of employment and airline tuition reimbursement to you at this time. By entering into an agreement, you agree to become employed by the participating airline in the future upon reaching eligibility (1500 hrs)."
},
{
"question": "How many agreements will I be required to sign?",
"answer": "The program will be defined by 2 agreements: a Conditional Offer of Employment & Tuition Reimbursement between you and the participating airline, and a Promissory Note between you and ATP."
},
{
"question": "Will a better offer come along from another airline?",
"answer": "ATP intends to offer one standardized Tuition Reimbursement Program so that this program does not become embroiled in the competition for pilots between airlines. ATP will not cause one airline to have an unfair advantage over another with this program. The recruitment phase of the Tuition Reimbursement Program will be standardized with all airlines offering the same hourly rate and pilot total time acquisition point. The retention phase of the program may be customized by each airline above the program standard payment of $500 per month for 12 months."
},
{
"question": "What will the Promissory Note between myself and ATP state?",
"answer": "You will enter into an agreement with ATP obligating yourself to repayment of the tuition reimbursed by the airline if you do not fulfill your commitment."
},
{
"question": "What if I quit after 90 days into my 1 year obligation with the airline?",
"answer": "You are in default- ATP will pursue you for a pro rata share calculated by percentage of minimum employment term that was not fulfilled."
},
{
"question": "What if the participating airline does not offer me a class date within 30 days of qualification?",
"answer": "The participating airline is in default- you have the option to terminate the agreement and have the promissory note forgiven. You are free to seek employment with another airline."
},
{
"question": "What if I am not building flight time fast enough for the participating airline?",
"answer": "If at any time you fail to fly at least a minimum of 25 flight hours per month, the participating airline and ATP both have the option to discontinue your participation in the program. ATP will pursue you for 100% of tuition reimbursed."
},
{
"question": "Does airline tuition reimbursement carry any tax implications for me?",
"answer": "No taxable event occurs for you until the promissory note to ATP is forgiven. Upon forgiveness of debt, ATP will handle issuing IRS Forms 1099-C to you. Due to an exception in IRS regulation 6060(P), you won’t recognize the forgiveness of debt as income provided you have negative net worth at the time of forgiveness."

http://www.online-accounting-schools.org/faq/are-there-any-work-from-home-accounting-jobs/ | [
{
"question": "Are There Any Work-From-Home Accounting Jobs?",
"answer": "Accountants who want to work remotely may wonder if there are any work-from-home accounting jobs. The answer is that there are. Accounting is a role that can easily be done remotely. Many companies are taking advantage of this for the cost savings and many accountants see working from home as an outstanding perk. The following are some of the ways accountants can work from home. Many companies, particularly startups, see the value in flexibility and allowing employees to work from home all or some of the time. Doing so significantly lowers overhead costs for the employer and it is a great perk for many employees who want to skip the commute and spend more time at home with their families. Technology has also made it much easier for members of a team to connect remotely, allowing solid productivity. When interviewing for a position, it is possible to negotiate remote work and point out its advantages for the employer. Aside from regular corporations in any industry and specialized accounting firms, insurance is another field that heavily hires accounting professionals that may be able to work from home. There are several online companies that specialize in providing outsourced accounting services to clients. These companies occasionally post job listings for completely virtual accountant positions that can be done from home. Someone interested in work-from-home accounting jobs should look at applying for open positions at these companies. Keep in mind competition for positions may be intense because many people want work-from-home accounting jobs and that these companies are not always hiring. It is best to go in with as many advantages as possible, such as work experience, proven successes, and a college degree. Many accountants set up their own businesses and offer their services remotely out of their home. They can also work as freelancers and do jobs for a variety of clients. Doing this requires an accountant to do much more than just accounting work, however. They have to take on other aspects of managing a business such as marketing, customer service, and general administrative duties. Fortunately, not only does the work lend itself well to self-employment, but accountants are going to have the professional knowledge and skills needed to properly maintain their business’s finances. If the business grows, accountants may eventually be forced to move into office space and hire employees or turn down work. How growth is dealt with will be up to the individual accountant. A bachelor’s degree in accounting is almost always required for acquiring a job that allows remote work according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Accountants who hold the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) accreditation will be qualified for more roles and hold an advantage over other job seekers who do not. Prior experience in the field is also a huge benefit, such as working as an intern during college or working seasonally during tax time to gain experience. Some companies may require advanced degrees for more important positions or as an indicator of professional quality for accountants who are trying to land remote positions. Accounting professionals are generally in demand across all fields, with this career’s projected growth being quite good. Coupled with the flexibility this profession offers, accountants have a number of options if they want to work from home. There are indeed work-from-home accounting jobs."
