[ { "question": "Why can't I see the trigger Runtime Log and Performance tabs?", "answer": "You cannot assign a trigger to an activity group. However, you can create a custom device group and specify an activity criteria, such as AAA Clients, as the dynamic group type. We do not recommend selecting all of the devices in the activity group to assign a trigger because it requires manual maintenance of triggers and devices. If you add a new device to the activity group, triggers are not automatically assigned. If you remove a device from an activity group, an assigned trigger is not automatically removed. You can create triggers from both the ExtraHop Discover and Command appliances. You create ECA triggers when you are logged into a Command appliance (ECA), and you create local triggers when you are logged into a Discover appliance. ECA triggers are available to each Discover appliance connected to that Command appliance; however, local triggers are not available to any other appliance. When you log into a Discover appliance that is connected to a Command appliance, the Triggers page displays only local triggers by default. From the Local Triggers drop-down menu at the top of the page, you can choose to display only triggers created on the Discover appliance, only triggers created on the Command appliance, or all triggers. The ECA column on the Triggers page specifies the origin of the trigger. The value is either Local or the name of the Command appliance. The Runtime Log and Performance tabs are not available until you save the trigger. Open the device or group the trigger is assigned to and click Assignments from the top-right corner of the page. On the Triggers tab, click the remove (X) icon next to each trigger assignment you want to remove from the source. Open the trigger you want and click the Assignments tab to view which sources the trigger is assigned to. Click the remove (X) icon next to each device or device group you want to remove the trigger assignment from. From the list of triggers, select the checkbox next to each trigger, and then click Enable or Disable from the upper-right corner. Open the trigger you want, and then select or deselect Disable Trigger. You can create a new trigger by copying an existing one. From the table on the Triggers page, select the checkbox next to the trigger that you want to copy. The copied trigger is added to the table with \"(copy)\" appended to the trigger name. By default, the copied trigger is not assigned to any devices or device groups." } ]

[ { "question": "Why should people with a clotting disorder go to a hemophilia treatment center?", "answer": "Hemophilia treatment centers provide comprehensive care for people with bleeding and clotting disorders. Hemophilia treatment centers are staffed by a range of healthcare providers, including hematologists, nurses, nutritionists, genetic counselors, physical therapists, and social workers, who work as a team to address the needs of persons with clotting disorders. Hemophilia treatment centers providers help persons with clotting disorders better understand and manage their medical condition." }, { "question": "Do people with a clotting disorder need to see a specialist?", "answer": "Many primary care providers manage patients with blood clots. However, if a patient has or has had a blood clot, it is recommended that they also are seen by a hematologist who specializes in the area of bleeding and clotting disorders. Hematologists are an essential part of the IHTC care team. A hematologist accurately identifies and diagnoses clotting abnormalities that may contribute to the development of a clot. Accurate diagnosis is essential to the health of patients and families. Hematologists have extensive experience in the management of anticoagulation. Appropriate choice of an anticoagulant and the level and length of anticoagulation are based on each patient’s diagnosis and individual circumstances, including the location and size of the clot, the presence of factors that can “trigger” a blood clot, patient age, and family history." }, { "question": "If a patient has been diagnosed with factor V Leiden, should family members be tested, even if they have not personally experienced a blood clot?", "answer": "If a patient has been diagnosed with an inherited clotting disorder such as factor V Leiden, his or her family members might also be affected and should be tested. Testing of family members allows for appropriate preventive healthcare management and for individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare. This information may be helpful in medical decision making in certain circumstances, such as pregnancy, type of birth control utilized, and surgery. Family members who might be at risk for these conditions may visit a hematologist to have this testing performed. The IHTC also has a genetic counselor who can explain this testing and the test results to patients and their families." }, { "question": "What can the IHTC do for you?", "answer": "The IHTC’s registered dietitian provides information and advice on diet-related issues that affect anticoagulant medications, particularly warfarin (Coumadin). Take a look at our warfarin interactions guide for useful nutritional information and important dietary tips for patients on a warfarin treatment plan." }, { "question": "What is a clotting disorder (thrombophilia)?", "answer": "Thrombophilia describes a group of clotting disorders in which there is an increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Clotting disorders can be due to inherited genetic abnormalities that are associated with a life-long increased tendency to clot. Clotting disorders may also be associated with acquired conditions such as lupus anticoagulants or an antiphospholipid antibody, which can occur in persons either with or without systemic lupus erythematosus." }, { "question": "Who can have a clotting disorder?", "answer": "Clotting disorders affect a large number of men and women throughout the world. People who experience episodes of blood clots, either as a single event or as repeated events, may have a clotting disorder. Both children and adults can have a clotting disorder. Blood clots are more commonly diagnosed during the teen and adult years due to normal changes in the blood that occur with growth and aging. Women who have a clotting disorder can have clotting problems during pregnancy and delivery and with the use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. Factor V Leiden affects approximately 5-10% of white Americans of European descent. Some people may have an identifiable clotting disorder, such as factor V Leiden, yet do not experience a blood clot." }, { "question": "Are all clotting problems inherited?", "answer": "Healthcare providers are able to discover the cause of excessive clotting in some patients and families, but not in all cases. Further research is needed to understand why some individuals without an identifiable cause have clotting problems." }, { "question": "What is thrombosis (blood clot formation)?", "answer": "Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel that blocks the normal flow of blood through the bloodstream. Blood clots may occur in either veins (blood vessels that deliver blood from the tissues to the heart) or arteries (vessels that deliver blood from the heart to the tissues). A blood clot can reduce or completely shut off blood flow and oxygen to body tissues, resulting in pain, tissue damage and, in some cases, death. An embolism occurs when part of a blood clot breaks off and travels in the bloodstream to another part of the body, where it may block blood flow in the affected vein or artery." }, { "question": "Are there different types of blood clots in veins?", "answer": "Yes. The most common types of clots in veins are deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. deep vein thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot within one of the large deep veins of the body. It usually occurs in the deep veins of the legs or hips, although it can happen in other areas as well. A pulmonary embolism occurs when a part of a deep vein clot breaks off and flows in the bloodstream to the lungs. In the lungs, the embolized blood clot can block the blood vessels and reduce or prevent the flow of blood to the lungs. Pulmonary embolism is the most serious complication of thrombosis and can result in death if not treated." }, { "question": "How common are blood clots?", "answer": "Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are very common medical problems and are a significant cause of illness and death in the United States. According to the CDC, an estimated 600,000–1,000,000 people in the United States die from a deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism each year. Of the people who have experienced a deep vein thrombosis, nearly one third develop post-thrombotic syndrome, a long-term condition that can cause disabilities. Deep vein thrombosis is preventable and treatable if diagnosed correctly and early. People with post-thrombotic syndrome may have swelling, pain, discoloration, and scaling of the affected limb. For some people, deep vein thrombosis may become a chronic illness. Approximately 30% of individuals who experience a deep vein thrombosis are at risk for having another episode. In case of major surgery, injury, prolonged immobility, or when in a cast, ask your healthcare provider whether you should receive treatment to prevent blood clots and, if so, for how long. In some cases, people at high risk for blood clots or with a history of excessive clotting may be prescribed long-term anti-clotting medicines to prevent a blood clot. If you have more questions about thrombosis symptoms, call the IHTC." } ]

[ { "question": "Have your children always read your books before they were published?", "answer": "This is the question that every author gets from any audience they talk to, whether children or adults! Authors ‘get ideas’: that must be the secret, and some writers do talk publicly about ‘getting ideas’ from their own and other people’s experiences, news stories, gossip, things that happen. But I agree with the American writer Ursula Le Guin who has written that ‘ideas’ are not really where stories come from. For her, and for me, stories develop from unusual characters put in unusual situations, with problems and mysteries to solve. I always say I invent the characters and they get the ideas. It’s for this reason that I spend a lot of time thinking about my characters, making many pages of notes, getting to describe, know and understand them, so that I know how they are going to react when things go wrong. Film script-writers teach that films are all about problem-solving, about sharing a journey with characters under extreme pressure, so that the choices they make reveal their real character, not necessarily the one they present to the world. I’m terrifically interested in people’s motivations, why they do the things and make the choices that they do. So — Night Race to Kawau began with a girl promoted to being co-skipper of a yacht in a storm at night after her father/skipper knocks himself out. Though I had no idea how to go about writing a novel, I had to sit down and write the story to find out what happened to Sam and her family! Alex started as a girl who is gifted, and has a supportive family, but has to realise that big achievement means big sacrifices. She wants to go to the Olympic Games — so does Maggie. When she finally gets herself sorted out, something terrible happens over which she has no control. The last book Songs for Alex ends with Alex now coming to terms with her grief, knowing who she can trust, and confidently leaving her school and swimming years behind. The Tiggie books are about a fat girl, at odds with the media’s images of young women, discovering that she does have a talent, one that will provide her with an incentive and reason to trim down, learn to enjoy her talent and gain confidence. My short story Freddie Bone, probably my best, began with a publisher’s challenge to write a swimming story. Well then, the opposite of Alex! So he’s a fat boy into long-distance swimming, where plump people have an advantage; in a local swim-athon he becomes a local hero. Again, it’s about discovering talent and confidence. Well, here’s the line-up since my very first in 1982: 11 novels, 8 books of non-fiction, one full-length play and 8 anthologies. But if you include the books I’ve done as the editor, with my name on the cover, that’s another 7 — which, with various others, come to around 35. I’ve also had 13 short stories published in various collections and one one-act-play written with a fellow writer. If you mean of all the books I’ve ever read, impossible to name, because there are just too many. But of my own books, that’s not so easy a question to answer either! I’m especially proud of A Book of Pacific Lullabies because it was my idea, and gave me some wonderful lullabies to sing with my grand-daughter Sedef, as well as winning the big Russell Clark Award for its wonderful illustrator Anton Petrov. He’s a young Russian immigrant living and working in Auckland and who I believe has a big future internationally. But the real favourite is always the one that’s in my head at the moment, the one I’m working on - making choices for the characters, inventing new ones and surprising myself as I write with twists to the storyline that I didn’t foresee in my initial planning. When a book is published, anything between 6 to 12 months have gone by since I delivered the manuscript. By the time it gets edited, the covers approved, the text proofread several times by several people including me, and it finally comes out, I’m already working on a new book. I’ve said goodbye to it, because it no longer belongs to me, but to you, the reader. That’s why, I suppose, we talk of ‘launching’ a book, so that like a ship, it sails off into the unknown, out of sight but still having its own adventures, making connections with and influencing other people. In the case of series, though, like the Alex and Tiggie series, it’s only a temporary goodbye between books. Sooner or later, I have to come back and pay another visit to their world and their story." }, { "question": "When you wrote Alex, did you know it was going to be a quartet?", "answer": "Not at all. I finished the first book in December 1986 and went off on holiday with my children, on the long-planned trip around the South Island. And Alex started talking to me." }, { "question": "If so, how did I get on?", "answer": "What happened when I came back?’ So by the time I got back to Auckland I knew there was more of Alex’s story to be told. I then spent several months working out a structure for a trilogy. I decided I had to give her 1960 Rome Olympic experience a whole book to itself. And because I felt that the period of her preparation, between February and departure for Rome in August couldn’t just be dealt with in a few chapters, I was then committed to the second book Alex in Winter. Some critics have found this book very bleak and unresolved; but others have thought it a brave and very successful book. I originally planned the Rome story and its aftermath to be one big grand book, but my publishers preferred to treat this as two books, so I ended up with Alessandra : Alex in Rome and Songs for Alex — and a quartet. My goodbye to Alex was the little epilogue — the two entries as I imagined they would appear in a New Zealand Who’s Who of Alex Archer and her husband, Tomas Alexander, a famous opera singer. I enjoyed writing those, creating their adults lives together as a couple, and separately in their careers. Not now, because much as I would like to have a cat, I travel quite a bit. (One day I will stay at home and get one.) But I grew up with an adorable springer spaniel called Sandy, and then my own family had all sorts — a cat called Liquorice who lived to 16 years and is buried underneath the punga trees in my father’s garden; hens called Port and Starboard; for shorter periods, mice, ducklings, pet lambs, a seagull (only for 2 weeks while his broken wing mended). Especially there was Pipi, a Labrador cross who in her youth was the world’s greatest jumper for sticks and lived to 14. Old and quite sick, she nobly went walk-about on Kawau Island, where she spent her first weeks with the family as a tiny floppy-pawed puppy, and was never seen again. Yes, mostly, and to them I will always be grateful for their comments and suggestions. It was my oldest daughter Lisa, then about 19, who told me that to kill off Keith in the first Alex book was too much and lessened the impact of Andy’s death, and she was absolutely right. But I’ve always found it difficult to hand over a manuscript and wait for the judgement. Whether it’s to my daughters, husband, agent or publisher, you feel very exposed and anxious for their opinion. And no matter how many books you’ve published, each one is always taken on its own merits, so you can’t assume that any manuscript is always going to be accepted. You need quite strong nerves if you want to be a writer! Or any creative person who needs the feedback, and hopefully the enthusiasm and approval, of an audience. Too many to name, really — but I have to say there are some writers whose books I read with especial pleasure and admiration: Margaret Mahy, William Taylor, Maurice Gee and Kevin Ireland in New Zealand; the Australian writers Sonya Hartnett and Gillian Rubinstein; the English writers Philip Pullman, Geraldine McGaughrean, Jan Mark, A.A. Milne; the Americans Louis Sacher, Katherine Paterson and Ursula Le Guin. Generally speaking, I go for adventure and family stories, history and fantasy, but am not so keen on sci-fi or thrillers. I love big biographies and autobiographies, and dipping into dictionaries and encyclopaedias. I read a lot of magazines too, to try and keep up with what’s happening in the world. You might be surprised to learn, not heaps! Very few writers in New Zealand make heaps. Of course, the famous writers who are published in many languages all round the globe can get really wealthy, none more so than J.K. Rowling, of course, but those are only a relatively small number of the world’s authors. In New Zealand we have the particular problem of having a very small market, so we have to try and publish lots of books and sell them overseas. It’s not easy, because Australia, England, America etc all have their own wonderful writers. But yes, it’s possible to make a reasonable living in New Zealand — let’s say about on the same level as teachers - if you work hard, write different sorts of books, visit schools and talk to adult groups. You may be lucky enough to get a writing grant for an approved project from Creative New Zealand, and to be asked to appear at literary festivals and your books to be published in Australia, England and possibly some languages other than English. If you’re really lucky you might have a film or television producer take an option on your book, though very few optioned books ever actually make it to the screen. And one good thing about being a writer — you need never retire! Although you might have heard of young writers who have dazzling success with their first book, that is still very unusual. Many writers begin quite late — say in their thirties, after they have done all sorts of interesting things — and build up their careers quite slowly. You can go on writing as long as you like — provided you still have something to say and a publisher who wants to publish you." } ]

[ { "question": "Why did Jesus spit on the blind man’s eyes?", "answer": "It may seem strange to us for Jesus to spit on his eyes, but that is what the heavenly Father led Him to do. Jesus explained this when He said, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does” (John 5:19, NLT). As you know, the result was that the man’s eyes were healed. If the man had gone into the village, word about the miracle would have quickly spread. Jesus often performed amazing miracles, and if news spread about it, large crowds would surround Him so that He couldn’t publicly enter a town. As a result, He had to stay in secluded places (Mark 1:41-45). On the other hand, by telling the man not to go into the village, He could enter the village without large crowds being there." }, { "question": "Why did Jesus call Peter “Satan”?", "answer": "In the original Greek language of the New Testament, the word “satan” can mean “adversary.” So Jesus was saying that Peter was opposing His divine purposes and mission. You can see this in what Jesus said to Peter: “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s” (Matthew 16:23, NLT). The beggar called Jesus the “son of David.” He shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (Mark 10:47, NLT). David was the king of Israel, so the beggar knew that Jesus was in the royal family line of King David and had great respect for Him. It could be that the beggar’s cloak was old and worn, and he felt that it would not be proper to go before Jesus while wearing it." }, { "question": "Why did Jesus put mud on the man’s eyes?", "answer": "It was a day of rest devoted to the Lord. The Bible tells us, “You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the LORD your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work” (Exodus 20:9-10, NLT)." }, { "question": "Which Bible verse is the basis for Superbook’s statement to Chris, Joy and Gizmo when they were traveling back in time to the Bible story?", "answer": "The verse is Proverbs 16:1 which says, “We humans make plans, but the LORD has the final word” (CEV). No. At that time, the Ark only contained the tablets. The Bible tells us, “Nothing was in the Ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Mount Sinai, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel when they left the land of Egypt” (1 Kings 8:9 NLT). However, there was a time when additional items were in the Ark. The book of Hebrews states that when the Ark was in the Tabernacle, it also contained a gold jar of manna and Aaron’s staff. It says, “Inside the Ark were a gold jar containing manna, Aaron’s staff that sprouted leaves, and the stone tablets of the covenant” (Hebrews 9:4 NLT). While a number of translations say that Bathsheba bowed before him, the NASB says, “Then Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself before the king” (1 Kings 1:16)." }, { "question": "Why would Bathsheba bow or lie on the floor in front of David’s bed?", "answer": "Although Bathsheba was David’s wife, she followed the customary rules of proper behavior toward the king. The rules called for someone to bow before him and then wait for him to speak before sharing one’s request." }, { "question": "Why did Solomon ride King David’s mule to Gihon Spring to be anointed as king?", "answer": "Mules were ridden by all of the princes, but riding the king’s mule without special permission was strictly forbidden. Therefore, when Solomon rode it, it showed that he had King David’s favor as the future king." }, { "question": "What was the glow around Solomon after oil was poured on his head?", "answer": "The larger room was called “the Holy Place” (1 Kings 8:8). It contained five pairs of golden lampstands, a table for showbread, and a golden incense altar (1 Kings 7:48-49). The innermost room of the Temple was actually called “the Most Holy Place” (1 Kings 6:16 NLT). The two large figures depicted cherubim that are thought to be heavenly beings (1 Kings 6:23-28). The cloud and light were our visual representation of the presence and glory of God that appeared. The Bible tells us, When the priests came out of the Holy Place, a thick cloud filled the Temple of the LORD. The priests could not continue their service because of the cloud, for the glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple of the LORD (1 Kings 8:10–11 NLT)." }, { "question": "Is Solomon’s Temple still standing today?", "answer": "God had sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to give them the land of Canaan (Genesis 15:16-21; 26:3; 28:13-15). When the Israelites approached the Promised Land, He told them, “Look, I am giving all this land to you! Go in and occupy it, for it is the land the LORD swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to all their descendants” (Deuteronomy 1:8, NLT). In addition, they did not believe God’s promise to them. He said to them, “But listen carefully to everything I command you today. Then I will go ahead of you and drive out the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites” (Exodus 34:11, NLT). In their culture, tearing your clothes was an expression of great emotional distress. In this case, they were very upset that the people not only believed the bad report but were also rebelling against God’s will for them to take the Promised Land. They had disobeyed Him too many times despite seeing many awesome miracles performed (Numbers 14:21-22), and they had treated Him with contempt (v. 23). He knew that they were entrenched in their unbelieving ways and that a new generation of younger people who would believe Him should be the ones to enter the Promised Land. God instructed Moses to tell the people, “You said your children would be carried off as plunder. Well, I will bring them safely into the land, and they will enjoy what you have despised” (Numbers 14:31, NLT). If you are already a believer, then you are part of God’s spiritual family (John 1:12), and a sin will not break your relationship with Him (1 John 1:7). God is loving, patient and merciful. The Bible tells us, “The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning” (Lamentations 3:22-23, NLT). In addition, God says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5, ESV). When you confess your sins to the Lord, He will always forgive your sins (1 John 1:9)." }, { "question": "Why were the trees so dry and barren?", "answer": "Gizmo doesn’t actually eat pizza, but he enjoys the festive atmosphere, smiles, and good feelings of the people around him. The Lord commanded them to do so. We can see this in what God told Elijah: “‘Drink from the brook and eat what the ravens bring you, for I have commanded them to bring you food’” (1 Kings 17:4, NLT). The room may have been Elijah’s normal place of prayer." }, { "question": "How did Jesus glow when He prayed in the Garden?", "answer": "The divine glory that was inside of Him, but normally unseen, was revealed in a spectacular way so that He shined with heavenly splendor. The Bible describes it this way: “As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light” (Matthew 17:2 NLT). We used artistic license to portray the demon’s malevolent control of his body as well as the harmful effects the demon had on the boy’s well-being. We wanted the demon’s appearance to reflect its wicked nature." }, { "question": "Why didn’t you have Jesus say that this type of demon only comes out through “prayer and fasting”?", "answer": "Although translations, like the King James Version and New King James Version, include the two words “and fasting,” a number of the best Greek manuscripts containing this verse do not. As a result, many Bible versions do not include those words either. We chose to use the wording of the aforementioned Greek manuscripts and many modern Bible versions." }, { "question": "Did God really touch Jeremiah’s mouth?", "answer": "Yes! This is what Jeremiah wrote about it: “Then the LORD reached out and touched my mouth and said, ‘Look, I have put my words in your mouth! Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant’” (Jeremiah 1:9-10, NLT)." }, { "question": "What was the glow surrounding Jeremiah after the potter’s jar did not turn out as he had hoped?", "answer": "Yes, he was. The Bible tells us, “Now Pashhur son of Immer, the priest in charge of the Temple of the LORD, heard what Jeremiah was prophesying. So he arrested Jeremiah the prophet and had him whipped and put in stocks at the Benjamin Gate of the LORD’s Temple” (Jeremiah 20:1-2, NLT). We wanted to show that despite being whipped, Jeremiah was faithful to continue obeying the Lord. We also wanted to be historically accurate about what occurred. In addition, we included notices on the DVD packaging and in the Family Discussion Guide encouraging parents to view the episode before showing it to their children. When Joy first saw Mary, the mother of Jesus, she asked if they had met before." }, { "question": "Why did they not recognize each other from “The First Christmas”?", "answer": "Joy did not recognize Mary because she was 30 years older. Mary did not recognize Joy because she (Mary) would have expected Joy to have grown up to be a woman. In addition, 30 years had passed since their time together, so Mary may have forgotten Joy’s appearance." }, { "question": "Why did the servants (Chris and Micah) wash the guests’ feet when they arrived?", "answer": "Many of the guests would have walked a long distance in sandals on dusty roads, so their feet would have been dusty. It was an expected part of being a good host to have servants wash the guests’ feet. Since Mary chose not to accept Jesus’ initial disapproval of her request, and she instructed the servants to do whatever Jesus told them to do, we used creative license to depict what may have happened during their interaction. Baruch atah, Adonai Eloheinu, melech ha’olam, hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz." }, { "question": "Why didn’t Mary and Joseph know sooner that Jesus was not with them?", "answer": "Joseph and Mary were probably part of a group that had travelled together from Nazareth to Jerusalem and was then returning to Nazareth after celebrating the Passover. Travelling together gave them added protection and the ability to share resources. Since they were all one tight-knit group, Joseph and Mary thought that Jesus was with the other children." }, { "question": "Why did Joseph say that since Jesus was 12 years old He was “almost a man”?", "answer": "Although Satan is not God nor the Creator of this world, the apostle Paul wrote that Satan is the god of this world: “Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe” (2 Corinthians 4:4 NLT). At least two other Bible versions (NIV, LEB) use the phrase “god of this age” in this verse. In addition, Jesus called Satan the ruler of this world (John 14:30). While Satan still has a hold over the world (1 John 5:19), we should remember that Jesus defeated him (Hebrews 2:14). In addition, Jesus has given us authority over the enemy (Matthew 16:17, Luke 10:19). As God’s children, He gives us victory over the evil in this world (1 John 4:4, 5:4)." }, { "question": "Why did you show a promotion of a violent and hideous holographic game?", "answer": "“Blades of Bedlam III” was described as being for kids 17 and over. In today’s culture, kids may be exposed to advertisements for violent video games. We wanted to show that they shouldn’t give in to temptation and peer pressure." }, { "question": "Why did Joseph and Mary not recognize Chris and Joy from “The First Christmas”?", "answer": "Joseph and Mary’s minds were preoccupied with thoughts of finding Jesus. In addition, they would have expected Chris and Joy to be 12 years older since the time when Jesus was born. We used creative license to show that Satan brings death and destruction. Jesus once stated, “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT)." }, { "question": "What did Jesus mean when He said that He had to be about His “Father’s” business?", "answer": "God has guardian angels that help protect us, but we should not presume that an angel will save us from a fall. We should not be careless or reckless. Instead, we should exercise appropriate caution and wisdom. As Jesus said, “You must not test the LORD your God” (Luke 4:12 NLT). We used creative license to show how cunning and tricky Satan can be in tempting us to sin. In this case, he was tempting Jesus to jump off the Temple. The apostle Paul wrote about Satan, “For we are familiar with his evil schemes” (2 Corinthians 2:11 NLT). We used creative license to show how they may have strengthened Him after His 40-day fast and being tempted by Satan. The Bible tells us, “Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus” (Matthew 4:11 NLT)." }, { "question": "What was the large building in the first scene?", "answer": "It was the Temple in Jerusalem. We used artistic license to show Paul being filled with the Holy Spirit and receiving a prophetic message from God. The Bible tells us, Saul, also known as Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he looked the sorcerer in the eye. Then he said… (Acts 13:9-10 NLT). We used artistic license to show, from the sorcerer’s perspective, how his eyesight began to disappear. The Bible tells us, Instantly mist and darkness came over the man’s eyes, and he began groping around begging for someone to take his hand and lead him (Acts 13:11 NLT). They were speaking from Psalm 138: Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me (v. 7 NKJV). The LORD will work out his plans for my life… (v. 8 NLT). You will need your partner number to activate the streaming. It can be found on your Superbook Club receipt.

[ { "question": "Q: What does the Seed feature do?", "answer": "A: The Seed value acts as a key to unique set of data, and for each specific Seed value there is only a single set of random generated data created, by using the provided generator settings. This is used twofold, in one way the Seed value ensures that the random data generated is unique for each of Seed values, and the other way is to use the Seed value to recall the same random generated data that is connected to that exact Seed value. Reverting back to the Seed value of 26, exactly the same set of the randomly generated data, shown in the first example, will be generated, thus enabling to repeat the generation of the required set of random generated data. More information on the use of Regular expressions in ApexSQL Generate can be found in the article Using regular expressions (RegEx) in SQL server to generate randomized test data." }, { "question": "Q: Why would someone need it, use it?", "answer": "A: The Seed value can be used for testing in Business Intelligence (BI) planning. For the example if there is a HQ sales production server that needs to be tested against dozen of store databases that have large number of exactly the same inventory but various quantities of the items in that inventory, this is where the Seed value is used best. The exact same Seed value will be used in generating the random inventory items for each of the test store databases, in order to simulate the exact same inventory in those databases. Also, to simulate different quantities of items in the inventory, for each of the test store databases a specific Seed value will be set to ensure that no single database will have the same random data generated that represent quantities. Other example of the Seed value use in generating random data, would be in the multi-server environment where the generation of exactly the same random data across the server databases is used for performance testing. Using the same Seed value for generating the data for each database helps with better performance testing with providing exactly the same data for each database." }, { "question": "Q: What are the range of seed values that could be used?", "answer": "A: Each set of generated data is represented by a number that is declaring the Seed value and that number can be in the range from 0 to 2,147,483,647." }, { "question": "Q: What does a 0 seed value do?", "answer": "A: The number 0 as the Seed value still represents a specific set of randomized data. It doesn’t have any special value at all, it behaves exactly the same as any other Seed value." }, { "question": "What happens in this case?", "answer": "A: The Seed value cannot be empty or null because it is essential for the random data generation. If the value from this field is deleted it will be automatically set to 0 before any data is generated." }, { "question": "Q: What is the default value of the Seed?", "answer": "A: Upon connecting to a database each column will have a unique, randomly defined, Seed value which ensures that no data generated will be exactly the same in any given column." }, { "question": "Project, database, table, and/or column?", "answer": "A: The Seed is implemented at the column level, but there are options in ApexSQL Generate that enable to set the same seed for each column in a table, and for each table in a database." } ]

[ { "question": "Is there any cost to enroll?", "answer": "No, there is no charge for enrolling in my Driving Discount. If you already have an automobile insurance policy with us, you can enroll in the my Driving Discount program with your broker. If you are looking to insure your vehicle with Intact Insurance and sign up for my Driving Discount, you can fill out an online quote on our website or contact your broker. We will send your my Driving Discount device in the mail. Just plug it in to your OBD (onboard diagnostics) port and drive as you normally do. After you connect your device, we’ll send you an email containing all the information you need to log on to your my Driving Discount and see your driving profile and potential discount. Your first update on your potential savings will be sent to you 30 days after you connect the my Driving Discount device in your vehicle. Three main factors are considered in determining your savings with my Driving Discount: hard braking, rapid acceleration, and the time of day that you drive. These factors are used to calculate a ratio in relation to the total number of kilometres driven. Hard braking increases the risk of being involved in an accident. The system determines a risk factor for hard braking by calculating the ratio of hard braking events to total km driven. A hard braking event is defined as any decrease of speed by more than 12 km/h in less than one second. Rapid acceleration increases the risk of being involved in an accident. The system determines a risk factor for rapid acceleration by calculating the ratio of rapid acceleration events to total km driven. Rapid acceleration is defined as any increase of speed by more than 12 km/h in less than one second. Driving at night (between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m.) increases the risk of being involved in an accident. Many elements, such as reduced visibility and fatigue, make this time of day the riskiest. The system therefore uses the times of day that you’re driving to determine your personalized night-time driving factor. The less the vehicle is used at night, the more you can save." }, { "question": "When will I be able to take advantage of my discount?", "answer": "You’ll automatically receive a 5% discount when you enroll in my Driving Discount. Once you’ve completed the 180-day assessment period, your premium will be adjusted to reflect any discount you may be eligible to receive. The activity discount will be applied to your vehicle for the rest of the current policy term and the renewal policy. We will keep you informed. The better you drive the more you save. Try to avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking. But your safety must always come first: if you have to accelerate or brake suddenly to avoid an accident, don't hesitate to do so! Also, the times of day when the vehicle is used affect your discount, so the less driving is done during high-risk periods, the more you can save." }, { "question": "What if I don’t drive very well during the assessment?", "answer": "At the end of the 6 month assessment period, the final discount will be between 5% and 25%. Thanks to the advice you get with the program, you’ll be able to improve your driving as well." }, { "question": "Who is eligible for my Driving Discount?", "answer": "A principal driver who has enrolled in the program may obtain this discount for all vehicles of which he is the principal driver. Your 5% enrollment discount applies as soon as you join the my Driving Discount program. Once the driving behaviour assessment period is completed (after 180 days), the final discount will be calculated, based on the driving data that was collected. The percentage will be applied to the remainder of the policy term, and again on your next renewal. No. You cannot restart the program because all of the driving information has already been gathered. No. The percentage discount based on driving activity will be applied after the completion of the assessment period, which consists of 180 days of collecting data.

Call your broker to find out what discounts you may qualify for." }, { "question": "What other insurance coverage can I get from Intact Insurance?", "answer": "Combine your home and auto insurance to get all the protection you need and take advantage of premium discounts. Ask an insurance broker to recommend the policy that best suits your needs." }, { "question": "Can my premium go up because of the driving data (braking, acceleration and time of day of vehicle use)?", "answer": "No, your premium will not increase as a result of the data used to establish your potential savings. On the contrary, you automatically receive a 5% enrollment discount off your premium, and at the end of the 180-day assessment period you could get a total discount of up to 25%, depending on the driving data. The information on my profile was recorded when someone else was driving my vehicle." }, { "question": "Since I am not the one responsible, what happens?", "answer": "The program is intended to evaluate the principal driver, but the assessment is also meant to include all other drivers that use the vehicle during a 180-day period." }, { "question": "What happens if a driver has an accident while using the my Driving Discount device?", "answer": "Accidents are not taken into consideration when calculating your savings with my Driving Discount. However, the accident may have an impact on your insurance premium because of our rating guidelines. Statistically, you are more likely to be involved in an accident between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m. Therefore, any driving during these hours is taken into consideration when calculating your final discount. However, night-time driving is just one of the risk factors that affect your potential savings. The my Driving Discount program also considers rapid accelerations and hard braking to determine the final discount. I usually drive 110 km/h on the highway." }, { "question": "Will I be penalized?", "answer": "Speed is not taken into consideration when calculating your my Driving Discount. However, with speeding, it is more likely that you will have hard braking events and rapid acceleration. These two factors (as well as the times of day when the vehicle is driven) are taken into consideration when calculating your final discount." }, { "question": "How do you define a good driver for purposes of my Driving Discount?", "answer": "The program is designed to reward driving behaviour that reduces the risk of accidents. Three “risk factors” are taken into account to determine the savings available with my Driving Discount: hard braking events, rapid acceleration events, and the time of day when the vehicle is used. These three metrics are converted into risk factors that will then be used to determine the amount of the my Driving Discount you may be eligible to receive. The better your driving habits in terms of these metrics, the more you will save." }, { "question": "Where do I install the device in my vehicle?", "answer": "The device plugs into your vehicle’s On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port.

[ { "question": "What do you mean with “Wild areas” and “Wilderness”?", "answer": "“Wild” basically means “not managed”. “Wilderness” has a more strict definition and includes so-called Core areas, Buffer zones and Transition zones. “Wild areas” is a bit looser in the definition. In short you can say that by Core wilderness areas we mean areas with wild integrity, where there is no extractive use – no logging, no hunting, no fishing, no tilling of the land, no heavy-handed management and no new major construction works (no windmill parks, solar energy parks, dams, roads, ski resorts etc.). Outside these core areas there are areas where different forms of sustainable, extractive use can take place. These areas are labeled Buffer zones and Transition zones respectively. “The Buffer zone, with relatively low impact of human presence, surrounds and protects the Core zone. Emphasis here should be on restoration/rewilding of natural habitats and processes, with phasing out of built structures and high impact activities within 10 years. Where feasible, there should be plans for it to be incorporated into the Core zone and expand outwards over time into the Transition zone. The Transition zone is an area where a range of human activities can take place, but with management controls preventing development of major infrastructure, wind farms or large scale clear felling, that might significantly alter the landscape or natural environment. Sustainable harvesting is possible of timber, animals (hunting & fishing) and plants (berries, fruits, mushrooms), together with organic agriculture”. These definitions are of course quite theoretical and are not absolutely carved in stone. In each area, at the end of the day, the realities of life, culture, history, ecology and economics will play their role. But the definitions above send a clear signal of the direction and level of ambition. 2." }, { "question": "Is “Rewilding” not the same as “Restoration” of nature from a certain time period in the past?", "answer": "Rewilding is really not about looking back in time. It is instead about looking forward, giving more room to wild, spontaneous nature to develop, in a modern society. Going back (to when?) is not a real alternative, it is mostly just nostalgia. Rewilding is about moving forward, but letting nature itself decide much more and man decide much less. We think nature is perfectly capable of taking care of itself, if just given the opportunity and the spaces large enough. This will of course not work the same way everywhere, and often not in very small areas either. That is one reason why we are aiming for our rewilding areas to be of at least 100 000 hectares in size. On the other hand, these basic principles can be used in a lot of places, even if not necessarily everywhere. We want to let nature be nature. The more natural, the better. For rewilding to really function to its full extent, nature will need to have all its natural original key building blocks and tools at its disposal. Large herbivores of all the original species. The carnivores. The carrion-eaters. Trees will have to be allowed to die and remain dead in place. Storms will take their toll and nothing done about it. Fires too. Insect and fungus outbreaks too. This all is a big mental step away from the older attitude that Man needs to manage everything in nature in detail, for nature’s own sake. Well functioning ecosystems are crucially important to a modern society, also from a number of socio-economic reasons: flood mitigation, avalanche protection, forest fire prevention, attractive resources for the tourism industry, fitness and physical well-being, psychological well-being etc. 3." }, { "question": "Don’t you like forests?", "answer": "We really love forests, the wilder and more natural the better! And we would like all old-growth forests to be much better protected. However, forests are only some of the components of European wild nature, and we love all those other wild natural habitats too: swamps, marshlands, lakes, the ocean floor, tundras, steppes and a variety of open and half-open mosaic landscapes. Since massive evidence shows that Europe has had vast areas of open lands and mosaic landscapes all the time since the latest ice age, we don’t want every piece of wild land in Europe to necessarily become a closed canopy forest. That would not be natural. In some areas, open landscapes are the results of the natural processes, and then we love these open lands too, of course! The fact that about 50% of Europe’s species biodiversity is connected to the open and semi-open landscapes strongly supports these reasons. We say let nature decide what becomes forest and what becomes something else, but only with all the original keystone species in place. We are strongly against plantation forests – tree farms with trees of a single species, all of the same age, planted in straight lines and often with a lot of terrain-changing bulldozing and other heavy-handed “management” methods, because these methods severely damage the original biodiversity and the wild integrity of any landscape. We are strongly against all exotic, non-indigenous tree species like eucalyptus or out-of-place pine tree species – both of which are at the roots of many of the forest-fire problems in southern Europe over the last decades. 4." }, { "question": "But are horses and cows really wild animals?", "answer": "Well, both species were originally wild on this continent. And not that long ago. They happened to be two of the most important keystone species for all the ecosystems of the time. The aurochs (Bos primigenius) is the ancestor of all the different domestic cattle breeds in the world of today. It was finally exterminated as a species in 1627. But its genes still remain, spread out over a dozen or two quite primitive cattle breeds. We are partners of the “Tauros” project, which aims to bring back a functional aurochs again to Europe’s landscapes and ecosystems.The different types of the wild horse, such as the Tarpan (Equus ferus), are the ancestors of all the domestic horses of today (Przewalskis horse is an Eastern, Asian steppe form/species and there was also a Mediterranean form and a Balkan mountain form). The Tarpan was exterminated in the wild in the 1880s and the last captive individual died as late as 1909. Many facts point at the probability that huge flocks of wild horses and aurochs once lived across most of Europe. Some still into Roman times, ca 2,000 years ago. Rock carvings, cave paintings and sculptures of both wild horses and aurochs are very common from many areas in Europe, over the tens of thousands of years. There is a lot of research being done right now on the wild horse’s origins as well, and we will for sure be engaged also in that for many years to come. Garranos, Retuertas and Konik horses are already being returned to the wild in some of our rewilding areas and more forms/subspecies will be tested as well, like the very ancient Exmoor pony. 5." }, { "question": "What is the importance of rewilding horses and cattle when there are so many other, really wild herbivores?", "answer": "Wild horse and aurochs were the two heavy true grazing (grass-eating) species in Europe whereas most of the others are more browsing (bush and tree/leaf eating) herbivores, and therefore thousands of indigenous grassland species developed in co-evolution with wild horses and aurochs during 100,000:s of years (which continued also with domestic horses/cattle during the last 4,000-6,000 years). Now much of that livestock is disappearing, especially from the marginal agricultural landscapes, and since the wild herbivores are not yet there to replace them, ecosystems that are a million years old are collapsing in just a few decades, in front of our eyes. Bringing back horses and cattle into these abandoned landscapes is therefore of huge ecological importance. But it needs to be animals that are well adapted to these natural conditions. Best would of course be the original wild horse and aurochs, but in the mean time until such are available, we will use primitive breeds of these, that can live fully wild lives without the intervention of man. 6." }, { "question": "Do you want to bulldoze away our houses and farms?", "answer": "No, not at all. On the contrary, many of the measures Rewilding Europe suggest will help more of the countryside people to stay in their areas, several of them working with the new ways of using wild nature to create jobs, business and income. Land abandonment is not our doing or liking, it is just a physical reality fact today, driven by a complex series of socio-economic and cultural factors, with globalization and modernity at the centre of the reasons. And the simple fact that most young people today don’t want to be shepherds, goatherds, olive-pickers or subsistence farmers any more. 7." }, { "question": "Isn’t forest the natural climax stage of vegetation on all land in Europe?", "answer": "That is indeed a hotly debated statement. Most probably, all of Europe was not completely covered with forest, but rather by a mixed mosaic landscape of forests, tree savannahs, bush and open grasslands of several kinds. Strong indicators of that are all the open- and semi-open land species that now live in the open landscapes – almost half of all species in Europe. Where would they have come from, especially all the endemic species, that have complicated symbioses with other species. That can simply not have developed only during the 5,000-6,000 years that man has been farming the land here. The vegetation cover before man’s arrival was also probably to a large extent influenced by the large herds of large herbivores of the time – aurochs, bison, tarpan, red deer, wild boar, roe deer, ibex, chamois and in south-eastern Europe also fallow deer, saiga and probably also wild donkey and water buffalo." }, { "question": "But instead of fiercely debating what Europe might have looked like 100,000 or 6,000 years ago, why don’t we just try it again and see?", "answer": "Let the natural processes continue unaltered, reintroduce the missing keystone wildlife species and let them multiply as they can, non-managed. Then we will all see in a few decades’ time what those parts of Europe possibly may have looked like when man first came onto the stage. 8." }, { "question": "But all wildlife needs to be managed, doesn’t it?", "answer": "No, not for the sake of nature or the wildlife itself. That is a myth created by Man to justify all his/her heavy-handed management. Nature can very well take care of itself without any human management at all. However, certain management might be seen as needed, because of Man’s wishes, needs and expectations. But then it is not the wildlife that needs to be managed, nor the forest. It is then all only about us humans, wanting/feeling that we need to manage things in a certain way, so that they fit our needs – economy, road safety or various shifting public opinions, whichever those might be, which also tend to change over time and place. 9." }, { "question": "If deer and bison are not “managed” (which means hunted) and fed, they will either die, or kill the forest – no?", "answer": "Herbivores will increase to the natural numbers that the productivity of respective type of terrain can sustain, counting in the natural limiting factors involved (food availability, cold winters, dry summers, floods, predators, diseases, competition between species etc.). By far, the most important limiting natural factor for wild herbivores is the combined productivity of the soil and climate, resulting in the yearly available mass of vegetation that can be eaten. The size of a really natural population of wild herbivores in Europe is far, far larger than most people (including most biologists) would ever expect. In some areas in Europe’s lowlands, this natural population density is fully up to Serengeti levels of wildlife per square km, or more. However, this has not been seen by any human for thousands of years, since we brought their numbers down to a fraction of the natural densities in area after area after man’s arrival in Europe, and particularly so after the last Ice age. 10." }, { "question": "For increased subsidies for old-style farming lands?", "answer": "We are not at all against subsidies to keep certain old traditional farmlands intact. We just don’t believe that this is a recipe that will work everywhere or long-term. Reality already shows it doesn’t. It is not economically sustainable in the long term. So we want to develop a new, parallel approach, that we call rewilding, which will work much better for many of these areas and give space to develop new, modern ways of combining income, jobs and business with biodiversity conservation. 11." }, { "question": "How about land that is not abandoned, should we not be able to rewild some of that too?", "answer": "Yes, that is possible, of course, if the present land owners are in favour of it (many are!…), or if the land can be bought or leased and rewilded by the new owners/leasers. 12." }, { "question": "Do you want to get rid of us?", "answer": "We are absolutely not at all against neither farmers or herdsmen, nor their livestock. On the contrary – we work together with them. The truth is that the present economic and socio-cultural realities are making countryside people leave their land, and particularly so the younger people. Already today, all this cannot be compensated for with government or EU subsidies. So the question now is in many areas – what to do with the land instead, so that those farmers and land owners, who wish to, can stay in their area. And so that the rich biodiversity connected to these lands is not eradicated.We are also not at all against domestic grazing animals. They do an almost as good grazing job as the wild herbivores, to keep open lands open. But much of the domestic animals are already disappearing from the landscape due to agricultural intensification and the changes in economy and lifestyle. Modern times means change here. We want to compensate for that loss of grazing in the landscape by letting the wild grazers come back again, and in natural numbers. 13." }, { "question": "And also there and there?", "answer": "We refuse to be held responsible for what we are not doing, or for what someone else is doing or not doing. We focus on what we think is the most important and what we are reasonably good at, and we try our best to make that happen. Others will have to take responsibility for other areas and other methods. 14." }, { "question": "Will you then buy my land and throw me out?", "answer": "No. We want to work together with you, your neighbors and lots of other private and public land owners and stakeholders, in order to find ways to make these lands wilder. But if you want to sell or lease it away or sell part of your hunting concession in one of our Rewilding areas, please do ask us first! 15." }, { "question": "Can we still hunt, fish and cut trees?", "answer": "In the core areas we would ideally like to phase out hunting, farming and logging. We need to have a number of reference areas in Europe, where there is strictly no hunting or logging, so that we can see what a natural vegetation really looks like and what natural wildlife numbers really are in different areas and habitats. But in the transition areas, outside the core and buffer areas, there will most probably quite quickly be more opportunity for quality hunting than almost ever before, since we will be help bringing up the numbers of wildlife in the core area, and the surplus will then migrate into all the neighboring lands, if these are not fenced in. This can become a major local money-earner, as it has in many countries. If sports fishing is going to take place in the core areas, it will have to be on a strict catch-and-release level. In the transition areas, sports fishing can become a valuable money-earner. 16." }, { "question": "Why do we need to rewild at all, since it will happen naturally?", "answer": "Yes, but often in a bit non-natural, synthetic way, since most of the large herbivores and therefore also the large carnivores are often absent – two of the most important ecological factors among the natural processes. 17." }, { "question": "Why do you focus only on “Wilderness” and not also other natural lands?", "answer": "Since there is much more of them than of wilderness. We do focus on both “natural lands” and “wilderness”. We like both. We would like to help to rewild all kinds of lands, into a wilder state than they are in now. If we see the level of wildness as a scale of 1-10, we would like to help many areas move up that scale a notch or two or three.At the Number 10 there would then be the completely un-managed pristine wilderness, which we of course would like to see both more of and much better protected. But we would also like to to see huge areas of quite natural lands become one or several steps wilder. This is really important for the biodiversity of our continent. Our special focus here is however the abandoned or semi-wild land across Europe and on developing intelligent ways of how to let these lands become much wilder, for the benefit of nature and man alike. 18." }, { "question": "Is rewilding only possible in the most remote corners of the European continent?", "answer": "Today, the wildest areas are usually situated in the greater mountain chains, in the most remote areas of Europe and in its throughout history most heavily contested borderlands. But rewilding is above all a process of giving nature more space, and this process can take place even in the most densely populated areas of Europe. Not always aiming for complete wilderness as the end result, but at least something much wilder than today. For this to become an organised network of rewilding areas, we have started up the “European Rewilding Network”. Also in many areas of North/Western Europe there are regions where people are leaving the rural areas, and the wildlife comeback to Western Europe is maybe even more spectacular than in other parts. It seems that with lower the hunting pressure and the large amounts of available food, even cities like London and Berlin attract large wildlife species like foxes, martens, deer and wild boar, showing examples of rewilding also in a big city context. Berlin, for example, has about 4,000 wild boar living in the city. 19." }, { "question": "Nature conservation usually only costs money, whilst forestry and hunting instead generates income?", "answer": "Here we can learn a lot from Africa and the USA, where wildlife has become a main factor in many regional economies and there are many examples of conservation enterprises, which show that wild nature really can provide the base for a flourishing economy.Also in Europe, and even in the Netherlands with its high land prices, there are the first examples of competing economies being developed, based on nature development. With these examples in mind it is not difficult to imagine that in the large scale abandoned landscapes of Europe, the comeback of wildlife in natural numbers could create an economy that can compete with the current, often subsidized forestry and the hunting on marginal numbers. Many logging and hunting businesses by the way are not profitable at all, and several ever work at a loss every year, year after year. In those cases, in effect, the tax-payer is paying to subvention the reckless destruction of the forest. In 2011, in the USA, the numbers of wildlife watchers were far bigger than the number of hunters AND sports fishermen combined! Wildlife watching also had a greater economic turnover than either the hunting or sports fishing did. 20. You say fire is one of the natural processes, but we have been fighting fires for generations, fire is one of the biggest problems in many Mediterranean countries! Fire is a natural process in any wilderness, but at the same time, natural fires are not very common. Today’s fires are in most cases caused by man, either deliberately or by accident. A very strong reason for the frequent fires in the dry south of Europe is the man-made tree plantations of mainly non-natural, introduced pine species and eucalyptus. Both these groups of species of trees are very flammable and very prone to catch fire. Another reason for frequent fires and for more damage during fires, is the large amount of scrub and bush now growing under the trees in the abandoned landscapes. Which is a direct result of the lack of proper amounts of grazing large herbivores. So bringing back the large herbivores is also a huge fire-preventive action of great economic value. Oak and other original broad-leaf forest species are much less prone to burn and they are often the most natural forest types in Southern Europe. And if naturally grazed, the risk of fire diminishes a lot. 21." }, { "question": "Is it even legal?", "answer": "Cattle and horses live wild or semi-wild in a number of countries in Europe already, without it being illegal in any way. In Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands, for example, they are given full wild status, owned by nobody and legally the same as other wildlife. There lives the largest wild-living herd of horses in the world! In Camargue in France, the semi-wild black bulls and white horses have been famous since centuries. Europeans are just not yet so used to looking at cattle and horses as truly wild animals. That will change.Any wild living animals could, of course, have and spread disease, but in practice it’s rather the other way around. International livestock- and poultry transports brings force-bred livestock and poultry from crammed animal production factories, with over-use of antibiotics etc., and spreads disease to wildlife. Take the Bird Flu as an example – that came from poultry in South-Eeastern Asia and spread to some wildfowl. 22." }, { "question": "Is it ethical to trade in live wildlife species?", "answer": "As with all discussions about ethics, that is of course much in the eye of the beholder." }, { "question": "If trade in live wild animals leads to much more space being made available for wildlife in society, and many 100,000s of hectares more of private and public lands re-stocked with wildlife instead of used for industrial farming or domestic animal husbandry, is that then not a good thing for nature and biodiversity?", "answer": "As soon as you bring back the original fauna, interestingly enough, the rest of the original biodiversity comes back as well – plants, insects, fungi, birds, etc. 23." }, { "question": "And the wilderness?", "answer": "Like all other human industries, tourism is a phenomenon that can come in several versions. Very beneficial to nature conservation, just as well as strongly destructive to it. Tourism is not neutral. It all depends on what kind of tourism and under which rules people promote it. We are in favor of a long-term sustainable and responsible tourism with as little negative impact as possible. There are already thousands of examples worldwide, of how such can contribute to both nature conservation and local economy in many different ways. 24." }, { "question": "How will a few bison and deer be able to replace the grazing pressure from millions of domestic sheep, horses and cattle of today?", "answer": "They won’t. The wild grazers that come back (including European bison, wild horses and wild cattle) will also need to be in the millions, to have the same effect at the end of the day. That is why we in the meanwhile, until proper numbers can be obtained from these species, temporarily replace them with some of their most primeaval cousins or relatives. 25." }, { "question": "Cave lions, cave bears, mammoths, …?", "answer": "We think the most relevant and interesting species are the ones that man has exterminated or significantly reduced the distribution of, during the last 10,000 years that have passed since the last Ice age. Muskox, bison, wild reindeer, wild horse, aurochs, etc. The herbivores are at the top of the list. When they are many enough, also the large carnivores will come by themselves in due time and without that many active measures. 26." }, { "question": "Are you against hunting and hunters?", "answer": "We are not against neither hunting nor hunters. Hunting is a natural thing for humans to do; it is part of our DNA and our cultural heritage since the first humans ever arrived in Europe. Hunters are also one of the groups of people who will have the most to gain from a rewilding of Europe and increased wildlife numbers here. There will from their horizon simply be more wildlife in Europe to hunt – more species and higher densities of them. This is one good basis for common ground between our interests.Hunting tourism development is also a vital part of the new economy around Rewilding Europe’s rewilding areas and a wildlife comeback. BUT, all the above considered, hunting does of course NOT need to take place on every square meter of Europe’s land surface. The legitimate interests of hunters do not always and in every single area by norm have to always have first priority. After all, hunters are just one of several important special interest and stakeholder groups in Europe. We mean that there also needs to exist large, natural and wild areas where NO hunting at all takes place. Both as reference areas for us all to see, and as production areas for wildlife, that will spill over into the neighboring areas. This will even in the short-term perspective show to be very beneficial also for the hunting interests." } ]

[ { "question": "Q: Can you tell us something about the name and history of Bräutigam's garlic juice?", "answer": "A: Bräutigam's Organic Garlic Juice was originally developed by a German chemist, Dr. E. Nahmacher. He created the formula in his 20's. He is now in his 90's. A Swedish company Scanfarma AB used to import the product from Germany as it was much in demand from homeopathic clinics in Sweden. But about 20 years ago the Germany company stopped production. It was then that Plantamed AB as a manufacturer took over production of Bräutigam's Garlic Juice. After Dr Nahmacher developed the garlic juice with his original recipe, the manufacturer in Germany had at one time changed the recipe. When I took over production, I realized there were two different formulas, and I became very curious. I called up Dr Nahmacher. He told me that the first original recipe created better quality product, while the second recipe was developed to simplify the production process. I decided to follow the original recipe." }, { "question": "Q: What kind of nutrients does Bräutigam's garlic juice contain?", "answer": "A: Bräutigam's garlic juice contains a high amount of allicin for sure, but the health benefits from garlic are not just from allicin. Other compounds that are produced after allicin is broken down actually have the most bioactive effects of garlic." }, { "question": "Q: How much allicin is released in one serving (1 Tbsp or 15ml) of Bräutigam's Organic Garlic Juice?", "answer": "A: We do not standardize our garlic juice since we want to keep the product as natural as possible and not use any artificial chemical, so we do not claim how much potential allicin each serving can provide. But I can tell you that one tablespoon (15ml) contains bioactive ingredients from about 3g of fresh garlic." }, { "question": "Q: Why is the liquid form better than tablets or capsules?", "answer": "A: There are two strong reasons. The first is that garlic liquid has a long tradition in German medical history and its benefits are well-known and well-proven. Secondly, there are increasing studies and lab results showing that the biochemical properties of garlic are most stable and best preserved in the water liquid form." }, { "question": "Q: How is Bräutigam's Organic Garlic Juice made?", "answer": "A: We make the juice in batches. In the past we have used supplies of garlic from organic farms in Europe. From 2013 we will be using certified organic garlic from a family-owned farm here in Sweden, next to our factory. The garlic will be more fresh than ever. Once we receive the garlic, we follow a unique method of delicate preparation laid down by Dr Nahmacher. The water we use is from a well on our premises. The garlic is cold-pressed into a purified garlic aqueous extract. After the extraction, the juice undergoes a specific process of fermentation that causes an increase in the bioavailability of the allicin and other beneficial compounds. When the process is complete, we begin filling the bottles on our own premises." }, { "question": "Q: What is the difference between taking Bräutigam's garlic juice and eating raw garlic, or eating cooked garlic?", "answer": "A: You need to chew raw garlic for 20 minutes to produce allicin, and you will have a burning sense in your mouth. The bioactive compounds in cooked garlic are destroyed by heat." }, { "question": "Q: Is the allicin in the garlic juice safe from gastric acids?", "answer": "A: Liquid garlic extract, like water, passes through a stomach pocket into the intestines quickly, without being destroyed by gastric acids when you take it on a empty stomach. That is why we highly recommend that it be taken on an empty stomach. Bräutigam's garlic juice should be taken diluted in a glass of room temperature or lukewarm water so as not to irritate the stomach and the intestinal mucosa. The temperature of the juice should be as near our body temperature as possible, to help the liquid extract pass through the stomach quickly. Our stomach does not normally produce gastric acids at bedtime, which is why it is also best to take garlic juice at that time. The odor of the product will only occur if taken with food, when the liquid garlic is allowed to ferment in the intestines with other food." }, { "question": "Q: How often should we take Bräutigam's Organic Garlic Juice?", "answer": "A: It is best to take 1 tablespoon diluted in lukewarm water once in the morning 20 minutes before breakfast and once in the evening just before bedtime, for one or two months. Then as a maintenance dosage, take one time daily, either morning or evening. When you have a cold, you should take half to one tablespoon (diluted in water) 3 to 5 times a day. You can also use the garlic juice diluted in some water to rinse the mouth when you have gum inflammation." }, { "question": "Q: Does Bräutigam's garlic juice require refrigeration after being opened?", "answer": "A: Clinical results show that it does not require refrigeration. It is stable after being opened without refrigeration. But if you live in a hot climate, it will be better to keep it refrigerated after opening." }, { "question": "Q: Is the plastic bottle suitable for recycling?", "answer": "A: Yes, the plastic bottle is recyclable, and it does not contain any harmful chemicals." } ]

[ { "question": "Can I collaborate with you on Instagram/on my blog?", "answer": "We would be very pleased to discuss this with you. Please get in touch with us and we can discuss a bit more about you and your audience, and we will be able to let you know if we think it will be a good fit. We recommend using our products within 12 months of opening (unless stated otherwise on the packaging). Our products are packaged in UV protected Miron glass jars and bottles, to protect them from UV rays which would speed up spoilage. This packaging prolongs their shelf life, but we still recommend storing them in a relatively cool place, removed from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. I received Body Butter Bliss and/or Velvet Concentrate Serum and it appears to have melted because of warm weather." }, { "question": "What can I do?", "answer": "With the warmer temperatures outside, the Body Butter Bliss or the Velvet Concentrate Serum may have a tendency to melt. Due to the product being specifically designed to absorb rapidly into the skin, it naturally has a softer consistency. Please note that this will have not affect the efficacy, quality or performance of the product. If your product becomes too soft, please stir it once or twice with a clean utensil and refrigerate it until it hardens again. Then allow it to adjust to room temperature." }, { "question": "Are Molewa Skincare products Vegan or Halal friendly?", "answer": "The vast majority of our products do not contain animal derived or by-products, so are suitable for use by customers seeking Vegan and Halal friendly skincare. The exceptions to this are our soaps (which contain silk) and our Honey Rush face mask (which contains honey)." }, { "question": "Will the face products work on my acne-prone skin, and are your products comedogenic?", "answer": "Our oils and butters are rich with soothing ingredients. Our leave-on face products do not contain ingredients that are generally comedogenic, but as with any product, it is important to test a patch of skin to see how your skin will react – as everyone’s skin is unique." }, { "question": "How would you suggest applying the facial oils?", "answer": "We suggest applying them by using 2-4 drops for your entire face, either carefully placing them straight onto your forehead, cheeks and chin, and then pressing your fingers on your face and massaging in upward strokes into your skin. Precious Elixir can also be added to Onyx Detox face mask for extra moisturising during the treatment." }, { "question": "What is the difference between Azure Face Oil and Precious Elixir?", "answer": "Precious Elixir is a powerful oil based serum that targets fine lines. It has is extremely rich, with precious ingredients such as Collagen, Vitamin C and powerful anti-aging oils and botanicals. It is very suitable to use during the day as it contains Vitamin C, which may help fight UV damage. It is also very suitable to use at night when your face skin is clear, resting and more receptive to receiving Precious Elixir's wonderful nutrients. This serum is very light and should be used with an additional moisturiser such as Velvet Concentrate Serum, or another moisturiser. Azure Face Oil is well suited for day use, as it contains significant amounts of Marula and Broccoli Seed oils, which are both said to act as natural face primers, without leaving a greasy finish on the face – making this oil ideal underneath makeup and with SPF use, or mixed with foundation for a dewy makeup finish. It can also be used on its own as a moisturiser, a beard oil or after shave soothing oil." }, { "question": "What is the difference between Honey Rush and Onyx Detox face masks?", "answer": "Honey Rush is a mild, soothing, calming and hydrating face mask with enzymes. It is suitable for sensitive, dry, dehydrated and mature skins, and is mild enough to be used more frequently during the week if so desired. It can also be used as a very gentle cleanser. Onyx Detox is a stronger face mask, with oil controlling and pore cleansing properties, so is well suited for oilier, acne-prone and dull skin, and is recommended to be used 2-3 times weekly. Both face masks are more effective after exfoliating with Exfoliate Dust." }, { "question": "How should I incorporate Velvet Concentrate Serum in my daily routine?", "answer": "We recommend applying Velvet Concentrate Serum at night as a moisturiser, after cleansing and toning the skin. It can be applied on its own, but if you are a fan of layering your face products in a multi-step facial ritual, or in love with a particular Utopia elixir or serum, you can definitely layer with Velvet Concentrate Serum with no negative effects.

We also accept self-pay patients and are aggressively pursuing in-network coverage with all major insurance companies." }, { "question": "Am I required to attend a treatment program daily?", "answer": "No, this is a common misconception with Medication-Assisted Treatment. While all patients are treated on an individual basis, many are able to see the physician monthly." }, { "question": "Can I participate in the Medication-Assisted Treatment program without counseling?", "answer": "Counseling has been proven by many studies to improve outcomes and help patients live a life free of addiction. The probability of success in our program is much higher in a comprehensive treatment program that includes counseling. While the frequency can vary for each individual, counseling is mandatory for our patients. Vivitrol blocks opioid receptors in the brain, making it impossible to experience the “euphoria” feeling associated with opioids. In conjunction with counseling, Vivitrol can help you lower your chance of relapse. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, meaning that it takes the place of opioids that would have previously been taken. This tricks the brain into thinking it is receiving the problem opioid. Buprenorphine also diminishes cravings. If cravings continue to be a problem, the physician will adjust your medication to help reduce them." } ]

[ { "question": "What was it that convinced Bates, the old sea captain and amateur astronomer, that Ellen White was \"of God\"?", "answer": "After the vision, she described what she had seen. Knowing that she had no background in astronomy, Bates said, \"This is of the Lord.\" Education, p. 14 (same statement, The Desire of Ages, p. 465). Early Writings, p. 40. This vision was first described in the Broadside, To those who are receiving the seal of the living God, first published Jan. 31, 1849. A Word to the Little Flock, p. 21, cited in F. D. Nichol, Ellen G. White and Her Critics, p. 581. Ibid., p. 22. Ellen White wrote: \"I was wrapped in a vision of God's glory, and for the first time had a view of other planets\" (Life Sketches, p. 97; see also Spiritual Gifts, vol. 2, p. 83). No evidence exists that this is the same vision described in Early Writings, p. 40. See pages 144, 145. Further information regarding this 1846 vision is found in Loughborough, The Great Second Advent Movement, pp. 257-260. For a discussion of how Loughborough's memory of his conversation with Bates many years earlier fits into this memorable moment for Bates, see Nichol, Ellen G. White and Her Critics, pp. 93-101. [Adapted from Herbert E. Douglass, Messenger of the Lord: the Prophetic Ministry of Ellen G. White (Nampa, Idaho. : Pacific Press Publishing Association, 1998), pp. 490, 491. In 1871, when Ellen White prepared the article in question, \"enameling\" was the latest cosmetic fad, \"which is nothing less than painting the face with lead paint, and for this purpose are used the poisonous salts of lead\" (Sara Chase, M.D. in The Health Reformer, October 1871, p. 125). Another deadly concoction was vermilion, made from mercuric sulphide. In such an environment, it is not surprising that Ellen White should alert her readers to the real life and health threats posed by such products. Physical and spiritual dangers of masturbation or \"self-abuse\"\nFew topics have generated more ridicule from critics than Ellen White's statements regarding \"self-abuse,\" \"solitary vice,\" \"self-indulgence,\" \"secret vice,\" \"moral pollution,\" etc. Ellen White never used the term \"masturbation.\" Ellen White did not say that all, or even most, of the potentially serious consequences of masturbation would happen to any one individual. Nor did she say that the worst possible degree of a serious consequence would happen to most indulgers. Modern research indicates that Ellen White's strong statements can be supported when she is properly understood. The general view today, however, is that masturbation is normal and healthy. More recent research has confirmed the critical role of zinc as a principal protector of the immune system, with a host of physical illnesses attributable to zinc-deficiency. (1) Masturbation leads to \"mental, moral, and physical deterioration. . . . It is not the stimulation, per se, that is wrong. It's what's going on in . . . [persons] when they're becoming self-referenced and self-centered.\" (2) Masturbation \"breaks down the finer sensitivities of our nervous system. . . . It is not difficult to see in terms of the electrical mediation of our nervous system, how disease becomes a natural result of individuals who have placed their own gratification at the center of their being. . . . Disease is the natural result of this.\" (3) Masturbation is a predisposition that can be \"inherited and passed on and transmitted from one generation to another, even leading to degeneration of the race.\" (4) In dealing with others, especially children, Ellen White's counsel lies in the direction of dealing with the consequences, of showing them that we should be training for love and eternity, not self-gratification with its terrible consequences. Dr. Nies concluded his paper, \"Self-gratification is synonymous with destruction.\" Alberta Mazat observed that Ellen White's concern regarding masturbation was primarily on the mental consequences rather than the \"purely physical act. She was more concerned with thought processes, attitudes, fantasies, etc.\" Mazat quoted Ellen White's references to the fact that \"the effects are not the same on all minds,\" that \"impure thoughts seize and control the imagination,\" and that the mind \"takes pleasure in contemplating the scenes which awake base passion.\" Looked at from another perspective, God always upholds the ideal for His people through His messengers. However one reacts to Ellen White's specific counsel, clearly masturbation was not what God had in mind when He created man and woman, united them in marriage, and then instructed them to be fruitful and multiply. God's ideal in regard to sexuality is the loving relationship that exists in marriage between husband and wife. Anything else, including masturbation, falls far short of God's ideal. An Appeal to Mothers was reprinted in 1870 as part of a larger work, A Solemn Appeal Relative to Solitary Vice and Abuses and Excesses of the Marriage Relation.

Many theories abound as to the causes of volcanoes and earthquakes and the formation of oil and coal. Most earth scientists base their ideas on the plate-tectonic theory. Nothing in Ellen White's comments rules out that theory. Further, nothing in her writings states that all volcanoes are the product of burning coal fields or that all earthquakes are caused by subterranean fires. When she links earthquakes and volcanoes together, one immediately thinks of the Pacific Ocean \"ring of fire\" and its high potential for disasters from both. See Warren H. Johns, \"Ellen G.

Health and life are being sacrificed to carry out a fashion that is devoid of real beauty and comfort. The compression of the waist weakens the muscles of the respiratory organs. It hinders the process of digestion. The heart, liver, lungs, spleen, and stomach, are crowded into a small compass, not allowing room for the healthful action of these organs. . . . \"By lacing, the internal organs of women are crowded out of their positions. There is scarcely a woman that is thoroughly healthy. The majority of women have numerous ailments. Many are troubled with weaknesses of most distressing nature. These fashionably dressed women cannot transmit good constitutions to their children. Some women have naturally small waists. But rather than regard such forms as beautiful, they should be viewed as defective. These wasp waists may have been transmitted to them from their mothers, as the result of their indulgence in the sinful practice of tight-lacing, and in consequence of imperfect breathing. Poor children born of these miserable slaves of fashion have diminished vitality, and are predisposed to take on disease. The impurities retained in the system in consequence of imperfect breathing are transmitted to their offspring\" (Review and Herald, October 31, 1871). In the October 1871 issue of The Health Reformer, Ellen White wrote of \"hurtful indulgences\" that militate against the highest interests and happiness of women. Among these \"indulgences\" she included wigs that, \"covering the base of the brain, heat and excite the spinal nerves centering in the brain.\" As a result of \"following this deforming fashion,\" she said, \"many have lost their reason, and become hopelessly insane.\" In the context of today's comfortable wigs, critics tend to ridicule this statement. But Mrs. White was referring to an entirely different product. The wigs she described were \"monstrous bunches of curled hair, cotton, seagrass, wool, Spanish moss, and other multitudinous abominations.\" One woman said that her chignon generated \"an unnatural degree of heat in the back part of the head\" and produced \"a distracting headache just as long as it was worn.\" The Health Reformer, October 1871, pp. 120, 121." } ]

However, you have the option to take separate registration for each of your business verticals (as defined in section 2(18) of the CGST Act, 2017) in the State/UT. Answer: In accordance with the provisions of section 25(4) of the CGST Act, 2017, branches in different States are considered as distinct persons. Further, as per Schedule I, this constitutes supply made in the course or furtherance of business between distinct persons even if made without consideration. As it is an inter-State supply, the registered person is required to pay IGST. Answer: If the supplier is liable to pay any amount in relation to a supply, such amount would be a part of transaction value, even if the same has been paid by the recipient. In this case, the transportation charges shall be added to the value of supply. Answer: Yes, the person is eligible to claim ITC of tax charged on the rental amount.

If the restaurant was availing compoistion scheme (can do so only if ice cream is not manufactured by the restaurant), the rate of tax shall be 5% of the aggregate turnover. Answer: No. Such credit is not admissible in case of machinery, being capital goods. As per Section 140 ( 5 ) of the CGST Act, 2017, credit of eligible duties and taxes in respect of only inputs / input services in transit during transition from Pre-GST to Post-GST is allowable. This is subject to the condition that the tax on such supply is paid under the existing law and the recipient records this receipt in his books of accounts within thirty days of the appointed day. Answer: Outward supply of these goods if effected without registered brand name is exempt under GST. However , if the outward supply is made under a registered brand name and put up in unit container then it would be liable to tax @ 5%. Answer: Rice put in a unit container and bearing a registered brand name is taxable @ 5%. In accordance with the provisions of section 22 of the CGST Act, 2017 (applicable in your case), a person becomes liable to be registered in the State/UT from where he makes taxable supply of goods or services or both if his aggregate turnover (which includes value of exempt supplies as well) in a financial year exceeds Rs.20 Lakh. Hence, liability to get registration accrues in your case from the date the aggregate turnover in the current financial year exceeds Rs.20 lakh. Answer: As rice put up in a unit container and bearing a registered brand name is taxable @ 5%, the suppliers of branded basmati rice located in other States would be charging IGST @ 5%, whose credit can be availed only when the recipient is registered under the CGST Act, 2017. Therefore, if you want to avail of input tax credit, you must get yourself registered. That said, for making inter State purchases one is not mandatorily required to be registered. Answer: As per Invoice Rules, a registered person supplying taxable goods is required to issue a tax invoice and in case of exempted goods, he is required to issue a bill of supply. As all the contents of bill of supply are included in the tax invoice, a separate bill of supply need not be issued in case of the exempt component. Thus, both branded and unbranded rice can be included in one invoice.

An unregistered person cannot issue a tax invoice." }, { "question": "(a) Will I get ITC on the IGST paid on branded rice lying in stock on the date prior to the date of my liability?", "answer": "Yes, a person who takes voluntary registration is entitled to take credit of input tax in respect of inputs held in stock on the day immediately preceding the date of grant of registration.

[ { "question": "Q: Isn’t all of the density dependence (DD) not already covered in the S-R model?", "answer": "A: No, currently only the DD happening before the age of recruitment is accounted for. We attempt to count for and implement specifically the post recruitment DD with our PROST calculations. Also, we will apply Surplus Production Models because they also count for the post recruitment dd, but they just do not disentangle this from the pre recruitment dd." }, { "question": "Q: When extracting information from ecosystem and multispecies models what model runs do you take?", "answer": "The biomass of other stocks often vary widely from run to run, and some could be predators taking their share of production. A: When extracting information from ecosystem and multispecies models we aim for model runs where other stocks are as close to current stocks sizes as possible. That is why we say our new set of Fmsy values should be revisited every about 5 years. A good example to consider is the Baltic ecosystem where the current low cod stock means that the Fmsy for sprat is 0.40. However, if as is hoped the cod stock is build up to close to previous sizes of about 0.5 million t, they will predate heavy on sprat and the Fmsy of sprat would have to be reduced to maybe only 0.1." }, { "question": "Q: If management adopt the new Fmsy values they will have to develop new management plans before they can be implemented?", "answer": "A: No, they can apply ICES default HCR (Harvest Control Rule) with the new Fmsy value and that is a management plan, and by default accepted by ICES." }, { "question": "Q: Don’t you base your modelling on results from other models instead of on basic data?", "answer": "A: Yes, we do. But this is not uncommon. Stock-Recruitment models for instance are almost always based on results from assessment models. It is a question of being practical and transparent. If we based our models on the basic data they would be unpractically large models, only transparent to very few people. We however, are testing this by a few cases where we do based our models on basic data and these confirm that in our case it is not a big issue to base our modelling on results from other models." }, { "question": "Q: Are you criticizing the current management for having wrong Fmsy values?", "answer": "A: No, but we are helping improve the scientific advice. Of course one can always regard work intended for improving things as a critic of the existing, but this is the way progress should work. Furthermore, ICES is only a network of scientists and we are part of that network. We are trying to bridge the well-known gap between basic science and scientific advice. We have two innovative ideas for the difficult task of extracting the enormous knowledge on ecosystem functioning developed over the past about 4 decades and make it useful in fisheries management. One is using a model type called Surplus Production Models (SPM) on time series of catches and stocks biomass, and the other is using meta-analysis to spread knowledge from a few fish stocks to the rest of the stocks." }, { "question": "Q: If the new Fmsy values are adopted – how shall managers and scientists then make MSEs (Management Strategy Evaluations)?", "answer": "A: If the new Fmsy values are adopted, the current approaches cannot be used, because they ignore density dependence in three out of the four relevant population dynamic parameters: natural mortality, growth, and maturity. Luckily, there are several other approaches. One is to use Surplus Production Models with the parameters from the present project. Another is to amend the current approaches (which are age and cohort based) with plausible models of density dependence in natural mortality, growth, and maturity. If there is no cannibalism the natural mortality parameter can probably be ignored. Q: The current Fmsy include a precautionary element . The Fmsy are capped down to the F values that gives a less than 5% risk to get below Blim in a given year in the steady state situation." }, { "question": "If the new Fmsy values are also capped they might end up not being different from the current Fmsy values?", "answer": "A: There are two important aspects of this question. The first one is that the current approach in calculations of the 5% risk needs to be amended because it ignores density dependence in three out of the four relevant population dynamic parameters: natural mortality, growth, and maturity. The second one is that it is not a recommendable approach to include (some would say “hide”) precautionarity in the quite technical concept of Fmsy. It is fair enough that management would not like a higher than 5% risk to get below Blim, but that aim can easily be met by capping the TAC in a given year to the value which gives a less than 5% risk to get below Blim." }, { "question": "Q: The MYFISH and MAREFRAME projects – haven’t they not already dealt with the issue in your project?", "answer": "A: No, these projects have mainly dealt with the longer term task of inclusion of ecological, economic, social, and institutional considerations when setting targets and limits for multispecies fisheries. MSY is just one aspect of this. We just aim at making the Fmsy values as close to the true values as possible. This will however also benefit the issues dealt with in MYFISH and MAREFRAME. Q: We often hear that one cannot get MSY simultaneously on all stocks." }, { "question": "Is that the same with the new Fmsy values?", "answer": "A: Not to the same extent. The problem is that when fishing is reduced the stocks build up in size and interact with each other by competing for food and by predation. With the new Fmsy values which are generally about 50% higher than the current Fmsy values, the stocks will not build up to the same extent and thus the interactions will be smaller. Q: You say it is not a full multi-species approach and that the new Fmsy values should be revisited in about 5 years time." }, { "question": "Why is that?", "answer": "A: This is because we still use the single stock concept in order for our results to be useful right away. A full multispecies management will need long negotiations about the priorities between stocks. That will likely take 5 years or even more. Our new Fmsy takes into account much more ecosystem functioning than the current Fmsy, because we include not only 1 (recruitment) out of the 4 important density dependent factors. We include all four. The other three are: individual fish growth, maturity and cannibalism. We assume implicitly that the current ecosystem regarding the other fish stocks are roughly constant, when doing our simulations 50 years or so into the future to obtain Fmsy in what is called the “steady state” stage. That is when things have stabilized after many years of fishing with the same fishing pressure. In about 5 years’ time for instance a cod stock might have increased a lot and for a forage species like sprat that might mean that Fmsy has to be decreased because cod is eating a larger proportion of the sprat stock, and new estimations of Fmsy will be needed." }, { "question": "Q: How is discards treated in your surplus production models?", "answer": "A: We generally use total catch, i.e. landings plus discards because this is actually what is removed from the stock by fishing. This means that the Fmsy is then corresponding to maximum landings plus discards, which of course is not the main goal, which is maximizing the landings. We have tested this for a handful of stocks with high discard rates by use of the PROST models as well as by running separate SPMs with catch and landings, and it gives almost the same Fmsy values independent of whether maximizing the catch or the landings. Q: The current Fmsy estimates are often updated with new data on weight-at-age etc." }, { "question": "Isn’t that good enough to take account of ecosystem effects like density dependence?", "answer": "A: No, because to estimate Fmsy you need to make simulations that give stock sizes that greatly differ from the current size. Ignoring density dependence in these simulations gives a biased result. We correct for this. However, we still say the values are only valid in the short term and this is because the stocks size of other fish species might vary substantially in the longer term and thereby change the basic interactions between stocks. So, our analysis should be redone every say 5 years. Q: ICES states (2016 ACOM): “BMSY is a notional value around which stock size fluctuates when fishing at FMSY. BMSY strongly depends on the interactions between the fish stock and the environment it lives in, including biological interactions between different species." }, { "question": "Historical stock size trends may not be informative about BMSY (e.g., when F has exceeded FMSY for many years or when current ecosystem conditions and spatial stock structure are, or could be, substantially different from those in the past).” …Does Fmsy not depend on the same interactions?", "answer": "A: Yes, Fmsy depends on the same interactions. ICES implicitly indicates that it does not matter so much for Fmsy as for Bmsy and therefore it is ok to use Fmsy, but not Bmsy. However, our analysis shows that often Fmsy varies as mush if not more than Bmsy due to density dependent factors, so we have the same problems with Fmsy as with Bmsy." }, { "question": "Q: Aren’t Surplus Production Models based on the assumption of steady state or equilibrium?", "answer": "This is rarely the case for real fish stocks and fisheries. A: No, Surplus Production Models (SPMs) are only based on the assumption that the productivity of the stock is in steady state, not the fishing pressure (F) and the stock size in a given year. F can vary as much as it likes from year to year and the stock size will react to that, but not be in an equilibrium with the F (meaning at the size it will have after many years of fishing with the same F), and the SPMs still works fine, also from a theoretical point of view. However, some methods to estimate the parameters in SPMs are based on steady state, but not the methods we are using." }, { "question": "Q: How do you deal with regime shifts?", "answer": "A: Regime shifts are many things and there are many definitions. It is a research field in progress. For fish stocks it needs to be factors that influence the population dynamic of the stock. Already now part of regime shifts are included in the stock recruitment relationship - when the stock is large the environment for the juveniles is poor (and therefore fewer recruits are produced per spawner). When considering density dependence also in growth, maturity and mortality even more parts of regime shifts are included. Thus, for the assessment work regime shifts are mainly relevant when it challenge the population dynamic model used. This could by an outbreak of a disease like Ichthyofonus spp. in herring stocks in the 1990s. For most herring stocks in the Northeast Atlantic the poor recruitment in recent years are probably more likely than not, linked to the predation and food competition with the large mackerel stock and thus part of at least multispecies models. Another point is the possibilities to identify and estimate effects of regime shifts. The time series for each stock is limited, often less than 50 observations (data years) and with a lot of process and observation errors. This makes it difficult the extract signal from noise in the data when estimating Fmsy. Thus, shortening the time series even further by inserting regime shifts increases these estimation problems. Given that identification of regime shifts often are quite uncertain and type I errors are likely (identify a regime shift when there is none), we think it is most appropriate for the time being to only consider regime shifts if it is very obvious, like for herring when we had the Ichthyofonus spp outbreak. It should also be noted that the present Harvest Control Rules used in management makes the risk to the stock quite low because fishing pressure is automatically reduced at poor regime periods. The only real problem for the scientific advice is when the regime is good because science will then be biased towards too low F." } ]

[ { "question": "Would you rather have a bidding war on your home or not have an opportunity to negotiate any offers at all?", "answer": "I recommend pricing the home at a position to receive multiple offers. I can appreciate that, and what you may want to consider is another agent will take your property overpriced. The agent assumes they can take the listing now and then start beating you up on the price week after week after week." }, { "question": "What if we were thinking of using a different company to sell our home?", "answer": "You have a valid concern and I think you realize a company doesn’t sell a home. It’s the individual agent’s activities that get a home sold. I am more than qualified to sell your home. I have sold thousands of homes over the last ten years." }, { "question": "Are you aware that today over one thousand homes are for sale?", "answer": "Last month only three hundred twenty actually sold. That’s a three month supply of homes if no other homes come on the market and last month four hundred fourteen homes went on the market! What’s worse is the fact that only 9% of all For Sale By Owners sell themselves and 91% are listed and sold by real estate agents." }, { "question": "What if I have a friend in the business that I may want to hire?", "answer": "I can appreciate that, and almost everyone has a friend in the real estate business." }, { "question": "Do you feel I can sell your home?", "answer": "Put me to work! You haven’t sold many homes in my area. That’s a valid concern and the obvious reason you’ll choose me is that my company has homes for sale all over the community." }, { "question": "When buying new homes, do home-owners simply want a new home on the same street?", "answer": "No they don’t! When you sign the contract I can expose your property to potential buyers from all over the area." }, { "question": "Are you aware that there are two kinds of real estate agents?", "answer": "There are passive and active agents. I am an active agent, meaning when you sign the contract, I will spend my time actively marketing your home to the public and to the other active agents in town. You want someone like me who will work actively and aggressively to get your home sold. The other agent said he/she would cut their commission. I can appreciate that and I’ll tell you why that makes me nervous." }, { "question": "Yet, the decision must be based on what you want, correct?", "answer": "Please consider signing the contract contingent upon your approval within twenty four hours, that way we can both win. You’ll have twenty four hours with no pressure so you can feel comfortable and sleep on it tonight. I’ll call you in the morning and you can simply tell me yes or no. If you say no, I’ll rip up the contract, and you’ll have no obligation. If you say yes, I’ll begin marketing your property immediately." } ]

[ { "question": "Pressing both of them in tandem in any direction will move you in said direction, which leaves me to believe that you would have really only needed one stick to move the katamari around (why do I have to press left on both sticks to go left?", "answer": "Why not just one?). There are a few “moves” that make use of both sticks in different ways (for example, pressing up and down oppositely on both will make the Prince charge forward), but that could have been easily mapped to one of the shoulder buttons in favor of freeing up the right analog stick, because using both sticks for movement just doesn’t make much sense considering my next point on the camera." }, { "question": "What would have made sense?", "answer": "Letting the player control the camera with the right stick – but then again, Katamari Damacy is not about making sense. See, the problem with the game’s camera is that it’s static. It likes to cling to its viewpoint, directly behind your katamari, and that’s pretty much it. If you’re moving forward in a straight line, sure, this works fine. But as soon as you veer off to the left or right, the camera will refuse to automatically adjust itself and it becomes very difficult to see just where you’re pushing the darn thing. The only real way to adjust your viewpoint to different angles manually is by pressing L1 and slowly rotating the Prince around the ball. You might as well be rotating a cannon or a gun turret, though I dare say that that might even be faster. This becomes a pretty significant problem since you’re racing against the clock and can’t afford to waste precious seconds, or even minutes in total time, switching your viewpoint. What’s worse, since the camera rests behind your katamari, it will often get caught behind a wall or a large object, completely obstructing your view. This is most noticeable at points in the game where your katamari is in that “in-between” phase – you are small enough to travel into a group of trees but not large enough to actually roll them up yet. The camera stays on the outside of the forest while your character is on the inside – your ball simply disappears from sight while you move around under the trees, clueless as to what’s down there – walls, creatures that will knock items from your katamari, or a myriad of other threats that you just can’t see. Be prepared to slam into more than a few tree trunks, sending objects flying from your load of stuff and burning even more precious time off the clock as you attempt to hastily retreat from the forest. This glaring problem with your viewpoint stood out the most to me the other day, when my wife was playing Katamari Damacy. She doesn’t play games as much as I do, so I thought she’d appreciate that the title employs a simple button configuration and is easily accessible to both casual players and non-gamers. Yet I found her similarly frustrated. “I can’t see where I’m going!” she said, and it was at that point that I realized the truth: even as the title seeks to bring in new gamers with its accessibility, it simultaneously alienates them with its unwieldy controls and camera. There is simply no excuse for a poor camera in today’s games." }, { "question": "Three-dimensional gaming has been the standard for over ten years now in the industry, and a decade after its inception Namco still can’t produce a functioning setup?", "answer": "The whole situation just points to a low budget and a short development cycle, which is why we’re seeing this title on shelves for $20. You get what you pay for, I suppose. If you want lots of style and zest, it’s hard to beat Katamari Damacy. If you want good functionality and smooth controls, you’re better off looking elsewhere. As another example of poor design: if you’re rolling through the streets of a town and try to pass between two houses, you may find yourself stuck if you’re too large to fit smoothly but too small to roll the houses up. This can happen frequently at any level of the game if you’re not paying a lot of attention to your surroundings. There have been several times where I’ve been jammed between a wall and, say, a flower pot, for nearly a minute as I desperately struggled to free myself. Considering I’m being timed here, this doesn’t bode well with me. It seems like you’re just stuck in the middle, between two sizes, and so is this game. Also worthy of note here is that the game suffers from some rather poor hit detection. Items I would roll directly over sometimes failed to be absorbed which means that most of the time you’ll roll through a group of items like telephones and notice the one or two phones were skipped over. Because adjusting your position takes time and effort, you’re usually better off coming back later because attempting to turn around and grab the few items you missed proves much more difficult and cumbersome than it should be. A short development time also leads to a short game – short being a mere four or five hours to complete the one-player mode in Katamari Damacy. While the quirky play mechanics do offer an incentive to come back, at least for a few short sessions due to its pick-up-and-play approach, the game’s structural flaws hinder the experience. Thankfully, as I’ve said, the game only sets you back twenty dollars here in the States, so you won’t feel too sour about picking it up. Katamari Damacy also features a two-player mode, which is fun to goof around in occasionally. You compete against your opponent in a split-screen match to see who can roll up the biggest clump of stuff, and you can smash into their ball to impede their progress. Unfortunately, all of the structural problems surface here, too, and you’ll always find yourself playing in the same tiny arena which causes the game to lose one of its greatest assets – its fantastic sense of scale. Ultimately, your outlook on Katamari Damacy will place you into one of two camps. In the first, you’ll fall in love with the game’s wacky, inherently Japanese style and consider it a Godsend from overseas, appreciating it immensely because of what an original concept it really is. In the second camp, in which I’m in, you’ll too appreciate the game’s quirkiness yet realize that it has fundamental gameplay flaws which prevent if from truly taking off. Katamari Damacy takes an ingenious design coupled with a surreal setting in Japanese pop culture to produce one of the most original concepts in years. Unfortunately, the experience is marred by a static camera and frustrating controls. In a way most fitting for the title, it manages to be both a great game and a mediocre one at the same time. It, like your katamari in the game, just manages to get itself stuck in the middle." } ]

All submissions are reviewed first by a RAW director in each respective city. After review, if there are any availabilities and it's a good fit, a director will contact you about the show. We would love to showcase every artist that submits to RAW. However, our events have limited capacity for artists and we cannot guarantee a showcase opening for every submission. Representatives in each city hand-select artists they believe to be the best fit for the event. Due to a high volume of submissions, you will only be contacted to be booked for a showcase. Please note that RAWartists.org profiles are reserved for artists who have been booked/shown in one of our events. Your submission is not live on our site until you've joined the RAW community. Let us fill you in. We've got the whole 411 below. RAW is an international arts organization, for artists by artists. We have no investors and started this all with passion, blood, sweat and elbow grease. We are 100% sustained by ticket sales to our RAW showcases. We are accountable only to our artists; we have no shareholders, board members or venture capitalists in our corner. We built this organization from scratch. RAW provides a platform for independent artists. Our platform exists both online—through our website and social media—and offline through showcase events (in over 70 cities, internationally). Our website features artist’s profiles from around the world. It is an online hub where you can discover independent filmmakers, fashion designers, musicians, visual artists, performing artists, hair stylists, makeup artists, accessories designers, makers, tech designers, and photographers. Our showcases consist of short film screenings, fashion shows, a pop-up art and photo gallery, performances, hair and makeup shows and accessories vendors. Artists are hand-selected to participate in RAW (read more on that below). Artists receive an opportunity to showcase and sell their work at these events (to a crowd of people that probably would have never been exposed to it otherwise). We bring artists to the people, and people to artists. The showcase events aren’t stuffy — they are fun, loud, and colorful and are usually hosted in a music venue. These are alternative venues that accommodate all of the different genres of art that we showcase. We’re not a white wall gallery or Mercedes Benz Fashion Week—nor are we trying to be. We’re RAW and our mission is serve the creative community worldwide. We think outside of the box to provide opportunities for artists to be seen, heard and loved. Yes; well, kind of. There is a showcase fee to participate in RAW. However, we are aware of the starting artist’s plight and that paying a fee is not always possible. Instead of artists paying out-of-pocket upfront, they are encouraged to sell tickets to the event to make up for the participation costs. Tickets are $22-$25 pre-sale (depending on the market) and £12 in the U.K. Participating RAW artists commit to selling 20 tickets to the event they are showcasing in. An artist is able to enlist their supporters and network to sponsor their show. Once they have done so, the show costs are completely paid for. Not only does this contribute to the costs of the show’s production, but it helps encourage our artists to promote and, as a result, each show becomes a group effort and helps build an eclectic audience of guests who are all there to support the arts. It creates more exposure for all who are involved. We have built an online system to help you crowdfund your fee easily. So you technically don’t have to pay anything if you’re willing to put in the work. Most everyone has 20 friends, family members or co-workers that would help support them to be in the show, and they get to attend! If you don’t sell all of your tickets you simply pay the difference a week before the show and are able to add guests to the list to account for that amount paid." }, { "question": "WHAT DO I RECEIVE AS AN ARTIST?", "answer": "Promotion on our localized social media outlets.

If everyone is on the same page and committed we’ll make sure you are officially ‘booked’ into the event and we’ll guide you through the process." }, { "question": "BUT, WHY SHOULD ARTISTS HAVE TO SELL TICKETS?", "answer": "While we wish everything we need to put on a big beneficial showcase event came free, the reality is, it doesn’t. We pay our staff modest salaries; we provide them with medical benefits (we need them healthy to run great shows); we have venue fees, insurance, equipment rentals, our media crews, production assistants, and the never-ending list of expenses that comes with growing an international network. We would rather have our artists invest in our mission and push it forward, than be accountable to shareholders. So, this is our creative way of making RAW completely for artists, by artists." }, { "question": "WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO SELL TICKETS?", "answer": "We know that RAW isn’t for everyone. Selling tickets takes dedication and work, just like starting your creative career. You have to know how to ask your supporters for their help. If it’s not your jam, that’s okay. No. When we first started RAW in 2009, we thought it may be a good idea to be a non-profit. However, after art grants continued to be cut down to nothing, we decided we could do more and grow to other communities faster by going our own way. It felt better to spend our time building great showcases instead of throwing fundraising galas to pay our expenses." }, { "question": "DO YOU HAVE ANY ARTIST SUCCESS STORIES?", "answer": "While we can’t take credit for the years of work an artist might put in before and after meeting RAW, a lot of our artists have told us that RAW has changed their lives and careers for the better. Musicians have been signed, artists have sold work and gained gallery placement, and designers have been sold in stores and have even won Project Runway. We are just happy to be a part of their journey.

[ { "question": "Even if you're not an expert in diseases of the eye, you've probably heard of glaucoma and its reputation as one of the world’s leading causes of blindness, but what is glaucoma, how does it affect vision, and what can you do about this disorder?", "answer": "Check out these answers to some frequently asked questions about glaucoma at Advantage Eyecare on North Richland Hills." }, { "question": "What Kind of Disease Is Glaucoma?", "answer": "Glaucoma is a progressive, irreversible destruction of the optic nerve, which sends visual data to the brain. It may actually be associated with a number of different underlying diseases or congenital eye issues." }, { "question": "What's the Most Common Cause of Glaucoma?", "answer": "Glaucoma is most commonly caused by poor drainage of the fluid being produced within the eye. This fluid normally drains through a drainage angle at the front of the eye to maintain constant normal eye pressure. If this drainage system isn't working, the pressure builds, damaging the optic nerve. In open-angle glaucoma (the most common variety), the damage to the optic nerves may occur so slowly that you don't notice the symptoms for a long time. Peripheral vision will narrow first, followed by the rest of your vision. In a rarer and more acute form known as angle-closure glaucoma, the sudden total failure of the drainage angle causes sudden vision loss, eye pain, vomiting, and nausea. No one is completely free from the threat of glaucoma, but once you're over 40 your risk increases. Steroid use, family history of glaucoma, hypertension, diabetes, thin corneas, and ethnic heritage can all contribute to your glaucoma risk." }, { "question": "How Does Your Optometry Center Check for Glaucoma?", "answer": "Our optometry center can check for glaucoma as part of your annual comprehensive eye exam. We use a method called tonometry to check the pressure inside the eyes. An unusually high reading may alert us to potential glaucoma. Vision testing helps us discover any reductions in your peripheral vision." }, { "question": "How Does Your Optometry Clinic Treat Glaucoma?", "answer": "We can often slow or stop the progress of glaucoma with medications. Some medicated eye drops or oral drugs increase drainage function, while others reduce the production of fluid (you may receive a combination of both). In advanced cases, we can refer you for painless outpatient surgery that modifies the eye's drainage system. Don't let glaucoma puzzle, intimidate, or frighten you.

[ { "question": "What would be the difference between a membership ordinary share and a Capital Funding share, and which has voting rights?", "answer": "Every member of the Trust holds one ordinary share in the capital of the Society. No member may hold more than one ordinary share either individually or jointly. The membership share has full voting rights. Community shares would be Capital Funding Shares, the proceeds from which can be used to fund the business of the Trust. Capital Funding shares carry no voting rights. Crucially, all members thus have only one vote, regardless of how much they have invested. It is the membership share that carries the vote. Both types of shares are to be paid for in full on allotment." }, { "question": "Would I be allowed to buy Community Shares if I am not a member?", "answer": "No. You must first apply for membership and hold one ordinary share. You must be 16 years of age or older." }, { "question": "Would Community Shares be transferable?", "answer": "Yes but only on the death or bankruptcy of the holder or with the consent of the Society Board." }, { "question": "How would I get some, if and when they become available?", "answer": "By application to the Trust . Details would be available on this website and probably also in paper form." }, { "question": "What would be the nominal value of the shares and how many could I buy?", "answer": "It is likely they would be £1 shares. The minimum number that could be applied for has not yet been agreed but is likely to be 100 and the maximum is currently, we believe, an aggregate of £100,000 which we understand to be the new legal limit with effect from April 2014. Hitherto it has been £20,000. We are seeking advice on this aspect." }, { "question": "What do I do if I wish to invest more than £100,000?", "answer": "Please contact the Board by email at [email protected]. The Trust’s rules permit the borrowing of money on such terms as the Society Board shall authorise, and it may be in a position to consider the issue of something like Community Bonds or Loan Notes. It should be noted however that Bondholders usually have no voting rights and are not required to be members of the enterprise issuing the Bonds." }, { "question": "Does the Trust accept donations?", "answer": "Yes, the Trust welcomes and encourages donations and provisions are made on the website to enable you to do this. Funding is welcomed from members and supporters to enable us to do and continue doing our work." }, { "question": "Would I be allowed to sell my Shares at some point in the future?", "answer": "A Member Ordinary Share is not withdrawable and does not carry any right to interest, dividend or bonus. Community Shares are withdrawable at the discretion and with the consent of the Society Board, but only from trading surpluses. The Society Board may specify a date or dates on which Capital Funding Shares may be withdrawn and may make provision for the withdrawal of different issues of shares on different dates. Because it is the intention that most if not all of the capital would be invested in the shares of Birmingham City Football Club, if they become available, it is unlikely that any withdrawals would be permitted for some time." }, { "question": "Would I receive any interest on my investment?", "answer": "The Trust may, at its discretion, pay interest to holders as compensation for the use of such funds but only from trading surpluses. It is unlikely in the short term and would only be considered having regard to the long term interest of the Trust, the need to maintain prudent reserves and the Trust’s primary commitment to community benefit." }, { "question": "What happens if the Trust is dissolved, wound up or sold?", "answer": "Holders of Capital Funding Shares would have no financial entitlement beyond payment of any outstanding interest and repayment of paid-up share capital. A statutory asset lock reinforces the non-speculative nature of withdrawable share capital because, even if in the unlikely event the society was sold for above its net asset value, the residual value could not be distributed amongst members." }, { "question": "Would my shares be subject to financial regulation?", "answer": "Blues Trust is set up as a registered society under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (CBS) and is exempt from financial regulation when promoting the sale of withdrawable shares to the general public." }, { "question": "What is the object of accumulating money from the sale of Community Shares?", "answer": "We want to achieve the greatest possible supporter and community influence in the running and ownership of Birmingham City Football Club (BCFC). It is the intention that the fund would be used to acquire a shareholding in BCFC, (not its Hong Kong parent company) and more than likely in conjunction with other interested parties or consortiums. One of the Society’s objects is to benefit the community by being the democratic and representative voice of the supporters of the Club and to strengthen the bonds between the Club and the communities which it serves. Our aim is to achieve the greatest possible supporter and community influence in the running and ownership of the Club." }, { "question": "Who would hold all the funds whilst decisions are being made as to how it should be invested?", "answer": "The Trust would open a new Bank account to be held in the names of independent trustees. Funds could not be withdrawn from this holding account without the full consent of all parties involved. Funds would remain there until the Trust is ready to provide a detailed statement of the next steps." }, { "question": "Has the Trust thought instead about trying to collectively acquire shares in the Hong Kong parent company, Birmingham International Holdings Ltd, to try to influence things from that end?", "answer": "No. We feel that this would be futile because once rid of BCFC, the HK parent would most probably invest in other avenues outside of football." }, { "question": "Wouldn't the shares in the Trust be more attractive if they were capable of being bought and sold in the market, like ordinary shares in normal companies?", "answer": "Blues Trust is set up as a registered society under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, and not as a Public Limited Company (PLC). For shares to be marketable, a club would have to be set up as a PLC and we understand there is currently little appetite for this form of ownership in English football. For example Arsenal FC is listed but there have been no shares traded through the exchange in recent times." }, { "question": "Would I be entitled to any tax relief on my investment under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS)?", "answer": "We do not think that you would. We understand from Supporters Direct that EIS relief cannot currently be used to support initiatives where supporters are aiming to secure anything less than a 90% stake in the Club." }, { "question": "Why should I pledge my support in buying Community Shares if nothing is going to change in the current situation?", "answer": "The whole point is that by making an investment collectively in the Trust, and by the Trust attempting to acquire a shareholding in BCFC (if and when they become available) along with other interested parties, we may become in a position to make quite an influential change to the present circumstances. Unless we try something like that which we are proposing, we would never know." }, { "question": "If what you propose comes to fruition, would the shares in BCFC be held in my own name so that I can sell them at some time in the future?", "answer": "No, as explained earlier your investment would be in the Trust. If shares in BCFC become available and if the Trust has sufficient funds from issues such as Community Shares, then it is the Trust which would make, hold and control the investment on behalf of its members. I have seen the survey on the website." }, { "question": "Is it the intention to issue it in a paper form?", "answer": "At the home match against QPR on 8th March, the Trust distributed about 3500 leaflets to supporters in a “Delay No More” format and containing the survey. A further distribution of leaflets was made at the match with Blackburn on Monday 21st April. To date, there has been little response in paper form, which indicates to us that supporters have preferred to compete the survey on-line. Some supporters have expressed their disappointment as to the response so far from only a little over 550 supporters. We know we can’t raise enough financial support from ordinary supporters. At this stage, the number of people replying to the survey is more significant than the amount of possible pledges because it indicates to potential buyers that the club still has supporters that care about it." }, { "question": "When will you deem the survey to be complete?", "answer": "We intend that it will run for a few more weeks until such time as we feel that we have received a fully representative response." }, { "question": "Are you intending to hold any open meetings to discuss the next steps?", "answer": "We are trying to arrange talk-ins and discussions within the media and with politicians over the next few weeks so please listen out for announcements on this website and in the Press. I already have some shares in BCFC or its UK parent." }, { "question": "Would these help in any way towards your campaign?", "answer": "Depending on the extent of the funds we accumulate and on share values at the appropriate time, we may be in a position to accept these from you in exchange for shares in Blues Trust. We would have to take advice and it is too early yet to reach a decision on this." }, { "question": "If St Andrews itself comes up for sale, would the Trust be better to go after acquiring that rather than shares in BCFC?", "answer": "All our options are open at the moment and everything would depend on the extent of funds we accumulate, the sequence of events and what actually transpires." } ]

As far as reactions to his creation have gone, Scherer said not everyone's a fan. One person sent him a message saying he was the reason for food insecurity in America. \"People who like what you make stay quiet, and people who hate what you make tell you to go kill yourself,\" Scherer told BuzzFeed News. \"That's just how the internet seems to work.\" If you are a fan of Scherer's insane food creations, however, definitely follow him on Instagram for stuff like this: A Dorito crusted sous vide egg yolk." } ]

As mentioned above, our pearls do not contain gelatin either – they are made from tapioca instead. 5." }, { "question": "Do you offer dairy-free milk?", "answer": "Watch this space! This is something we are working on really hard at the moment, to meet the growing demand for alternative milk. We are currently looking into supplying soy milk to all of our stores, and hope it will be available in the near future.

At Chatime, we work really hard to perfect each and every recipe. That’s why, all of our drinks taste so delicious. But we have to keep some secrets to ourselves, so I’m afraid we cannot not disclose the ingredient list for our teas. If you would like to see a full nutritional breakdown for our teas, please see our menu. And if you have an allergen query, please contact us and we will let you know if there are any teas or mix-ins that you need to avoid. 8." }, { "question": "Do you have caffeine-free teas?", "answer": "Sorry, all of our teas contain caffeine. It’s tea after all! However, some of our drinks can be made without tea. Just ask your T-rista at your local T-Brewery and they may be able to serve you a drink without the tea, which would mean it is caffeine free. This mostly applies to the drinks in our ‘Frozen’ Category as the tea content tends to be less in those. Our more popular drinks, such as Pearl Milk Tea or Lychee Fruity Iced Tea, are currently not available as caffeine free, as tea is such a key ingredient! But fear not, this is something we are looking into and hope to have more caffeine free options available for you in the near future. 1." }, { "question": "When I’m asked if I want to ‘customise my sweetness level’, what does this mean?", "answer": "One of the great things about Chatime, is that you have the option to reduce the amount of sugar that’s added to your flavoured drink. So you can choose to have the standard recipe, or go for half that amount of sugar, 30% sugar or no sugar at all. You can customise the sweetness levels on all our flavoured teas, except for Guava flavoured, as there is no additional sugar in those recipes. It’s sweet enough on its own! 2." }, { "question": "What sort of sugar is used in Chatime drinks?", "answer": "Our flavoured syrups are derived from real fruits and therefore naturally contain fruit sugars. The additional sugar used in Chatime drinks is a Fructose syrup. The amount of fructose added varies for each tea, as some flavours are naturally sweeter than others. 3." }, { "question": "How many grams of sugar are there in typical Chatime tea?", "answer": "The amount of total sugar used in our teas varies according to the ingredients used. If you would like to see a nutritional breakdown of our teas (including the grams of total sugar used), you can find out everything you want to know on our menu. To give you a rough idea, our standard teas contain 28g of added fructose which is an equivalent of 361kJ. ** Based on average of 1oz sugar in teas. But if that’s too sweet for your tastebuds, you can choose to reduce the amount of added sugar in your flavoured Chatime. Just ask your T-rista for half sugar, 30% sugar or no sugar at all, and they will customise your beverage for you. We’re sure, whichever option you go for, it will still taste tea-rrific. 4." }, { "question": "Why can’t I order a quarter or 80% sugar anymore?", "answer": "Sorry sweetness! We reduced the number of sugar levels there were to choose from to improve the customer experience. We found that fewer options meant fewer questions from our T-ristas, and that means shorter queue times for you." }, { "question": "How many kilojoules are in the teas?", "answer": "If you wanted to see the nutritional breakdown of each tea, including the kJ content for all our standard teas, please check out our menu. 7." }, { "question": "How many kilojoules are there in a ‘no sugar’ Chatime?", "answer": "Any sweetness found in a ‘non sugar’ Chatime will have come from its natural fruity ingredients. The nutritional information will vary for each tea depending on their ingredients, and you can see all of the info for our ‘no sugar’ teas on our menu. 8." }, { "question": "What does ‘regular’ sugar mean?", "answer": "The standard recipe is optimised for flavour and may include some added sugar. When a T-rista asks if you would like ‘regular sugar’, this refers to the amount of added sugar in the original recipe. 9." }, { "question": "If I order ‘half sugar’, ‘30% sugar’ or ‘no sugar’, what does this mean?", "answer": "When you order half sugar, the amount of additional sugar is reduced by half. If you order 30% sugar, only a third of the additional sugar in the original recipe will be used. If you ask for no sugar, our T-ristas won’t add any additional sugar to your Chatime at all. At Chatime, we care about our environmental footprint and we are working hard to make improvements. We are currently reviewing the amount of plastic we use and investigating the alternative types of packaging available to us. As you can appreciate, this is a long-term initiative and it will take a bit of time to get right. But please be reassured that we are passionate about sourcing the best quality products and packaging, to give customers a premium experience." } ]

[ { "question": "How do I apply for a visa to enter Australia from New Zealand?", "answer": "9. I need to have a medical examination and a chest x-ray in connection with my visa application." }, { "question": "Didn't find what you were looking for?", "answer": "Information about living in Australia is available here. New Zealand citizens are eligible for a Special Category Visa (SCV) on arrival in Australia unless they are considered to be a Behavior Concern Non Citizen (BCNC) or a Health Concern Non Citizen (HCNC). Special Category Visas are recorded electronically. A SCV allows the holder to remain and work in Australia indefinitely. If you are a New Zealand citizen, you may be considered HCNC if you have untreated tuberculosis. Please email the Australian Visa Application Centre in Auckland at [email protected] for further advice. A New Zealand citizen may be considered BCNC if you have had any criminal convictions in your lifetime, or you have been deported, excluded or removed from any country, including Australia. More information about New Zealanders living in Australia is available here. If you are a New Zealand citizen with criminal convictions, no matter how long ago your convictions were, or whether they have been removed from government records, you are required to obtain written confirmation from DIAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship) before you travel to Australia. You will be informed in writing whether or not you are required to lodge an application for a visa to enter Australia prior to travel. This process takes approximately three weeks from the date the completed form is received by the Consulate. If you have convictions in any other country, including Australia, you are required to provide a police clearance from that country to DIAC. You will then be informed in writing whether or not you need to lodge an application for a visa to enter Australia. If a visa application is required, a visa application form,including a checklist, will be sent to you. However, if you are intending to live, work or study in Australia you will need to visit www.immi.gov.au and download the appropriate application form. New Zealand citizens who intend to apply for a Visitor or Transit visa, are to lodge their application with the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC). Initially, the processing of applicaitons will begin at the Australian Consulate-General in Auckland. The application will then be forwarded to the Visa Applicant Character Consideration Unit (VACCU) in Melbourne, Australia, for character assessment. Before applications can be forwarded to VACCU, applicants must meet all other applicable visa criteria. The timeframe for the assessment of your character by VACCU will vary depending upon the specifics of your circumstances, but can take several months. New Zealand citizen family relationship (temporary) visa subclass 461 can allow the family members of a special category visa holder to live, work and study in Australia temporarily. More information on this visa is available here. Passports need to be valid to cover immediate travel arrangements only, with the exception of travel to Norfolk Island where passports need to be vaild for at least three months from the date of arrival. Where a visa is required, the validity of the passport is taken into consideration when deciding the validity of the visa. 5." }, { "question": "Do New Zealand citizens need to apply for permanent residency before entering Australia?", "answer": "New Zealand citizens travelling on New Zealand passports do not need to apply for permanent residency to live in Australia if they are eligible for a Special Category Visa (see the first question above). However, they should be aware of restrictions on access to social security allowances before deciding to live in Australia. There is a series of booklets with information on applying for permanent residency available to download from the Australian Immigration and Citizenship website. All visitors to Australia not including Australian and New Zealand passport holders must obtain a visa before travelling to Australia. New Zealand citizens who wish to travel to Australia can do so without first obtaining a visa. However, New Zealanders who are likely to face restricted entry are citizens with criminal records or with untreated tuberculosis or who have been deported, excluded or removed from any country (see questions one and two above). Certain nationalities can apply for their Australian visas online. Information on visa options and eligibility is available here. Anyone currently in New Zealand, Cook Islands, Niue and Pitcairn Island, regardless of their New Zealand visa status, can apply for a visa at the Australian Visa Application Centre in Auckland. Similarly, all immigration and visa enquiries should be directed to the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC) - contact details are available here. Informaton on application processing times are available here. Please note: An AVAC Service Fee will be charged in addition to the applicable DIAC Visa Application Charge for ALL visa applications. See Visa Fees. Transit Visa - If you are transiting through Australia for less than 72 hours on your way to another destination via the next available flight, you will require a transit visa. Transit visas are free of charge (however you will be charged an AVAC Service Fee). More information is available here. Visitor Visa - This visa allows a stay of usually three months,for tourism,visiting friends and relatives,other business purposes and other short term non-working activities. Please choose your visa option carefully as the application charge will not be refunded if your application is refused. Medical examinations and x-rays required for Australian visas may only be carried out by appointed panel doctors and radiologists. They are located in the major residential areas throughout New Zealand and a list of them is available here. Aged Visitor Health Checks must also be carried out by a panel doctor. To download the medical form 26 and x-ray form 160, click here. If you are not an Australian or New Zealand citizen and wish to work in Australia you must obtain the appropriate visa, either for a working holiday, temporary residence or migration. Please visit www.immi.gov.au for more information. If you are a New Zealand citizen you do not need to apply for a Student Visa to study in Australia. All other nationalities require a Student Visa to engage in formal full-time studies of three months or more. Note that you can undertake short term language or recreational courses of less than three months duration on a Visitor Visa. You can be granted a Student Visa only if you wish to undertake a registered education or training course. Official confirmation of enrolment must be issued by an education provider registered with the Australian Government to offer courses to overseas students. Citizens of Pakistan, Afghanistan and the People's Republic of China who are in New Zealand must lodge their student visa applications with the Offshore Processing Centre in Adelaide, South Australia. For more information please visit the student section of the DIAC website. You do not need to use a migration agent to apply for an Australian visa. A migration agent cannot influence nor predetermine the outcome of your application, nor can they fast-track its processing. If you wish to engage a migration agent, DIAC recommends using an agent registered with the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA), or where this is not possible, one that is accredited in your country. A Maritime Crew Visa (MCV) is not required by those New Zealand citizens who would be eligible for a Special Category visa (subclass 444) on arrival. For more details about the Special Category visa please see the first question above. Australia's migration legislation does not permit New Zealand citizens, who arrive in Australia at an Excised Offshore Place, to apply for a Special Category visa on arrival. An Excised Offshore Place includes any Australian island from the vicinity of Mackay in Queensland through to the vicinity of Exmouth, Western Australia, including the Australian islands of the Torres Strait, Christmas Island and the Cocos-Keeling Islands. New Zealand citizens who intend to enter Australia at an Excised Offshore Place must obtain a visa before travelling to Australia. For New Zealand crew of non-military ships who will enter Australia at an Excised Offshore Place, the Maritime Crew Visa is the appropriate visa." } ]

[ { "question": "What are the differences between payloads and user properties?", "answer": "Payloads and user properties are sent to Swrve in a similar fashion, but are intended for much different purposes. There is a 500 key/value limit on payload data, since each payload is constantly being calculated and processed. Currently, there is no limit on user properties, although only some properties can be pulled out of Swrve (location, spend, age). With the exception of those previously listed, user properties are mainly used to create behavioral segments. We recommend sending data about users at a given period in time as payloads on an event to see where users are at the time they trigger that event and to target your campaign audiences on a more granular level. Payloads are used to give information around the event being sent. Let’s say your event is audio.stream — you may want to send a payload to include information about the state of users when they they listen to an audio track, such as the song name, artist, album name, or genre. This data is static and represents the user at the time they triggered that event. Overloading Swrve with payload data to later mine it out won’t work, since the data is capped at 255 characters of key/value pairs and numerical values are bucketed. User properties identify the attributes of users in your app and are the backbone for behavioral segments. Good user properties help create compelling and measurable segments. Swrve also tracks some behavior properties automatically. Struggling Player = has fired eventPlayerDeath at least 10 times AND Level = 1. Cheater = has fired event Swrve.invalid_iap at least 1 time. Non-cheater = has not fired event Swrve.invalid_iap." } ]

Read on to learn more about online and on-campus programs. Explore common courses in the program, find out about licensing and careers. Schools offering Cardiovascular Sonography degrees can also be found in these popular choices." }, { "question": "What Courses Will I Take in a Radiology Associate's Degree Program?", "answer": "Most programs also include clinical experience and labs in the curriculum and require clinical observation hours. Since most states require clinical experience and observation hours in order to gain licensure, this is a difficult program to offer fully online. You may be able to find programs that offer a portion of the required courses online and allow you to complete your labs and clinical courses on-campus or at another facility. In this case, you will be required to have a computer, an Internet connection and any software required for your courses." }, { "question": "Do I Need a Radiology License?", "answer": "Most states will require you to obtain a license before you can become a radiology technologist or technician. You can learn about your state's licensing requirements and procedures by contacting your state's health board. Usually, you will obtain your license by taking a state-appointed exam. Your radiology program will most likely help you prepare for this exam through your courses. You can also obtain voluntary certification through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) by taking their nationally recognized exam. Although this exam and certification is voluntary, many states use your ARRT scores to determine state licensure (source: www.aart.org). With your associate's degree, you are eligible to obtain state licensure and national certification to become a radiology technologist or technician. You can find jobs in hospitals, doctor's offices, dental offices and clinics. You could also continue your education and earn a bachelor's or master's degree in radiology. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that radiology technologists' median pay in 2014 was $27.58 an hour, leading to a median annual salary of $57,370 (source: www.bls.gov)." } ]

[ { "question": "What is the difference between charter schools and other public schools?", "answer": "Charter schools are public schools of choice, meaning that families choose them for their children. They operate with freedom from some of the regulations that are imposed upon district schools. Charter schools are accountable for academic results and for upholding the promises made in their charters. They must demonstrate performance in the areas of academic achievement, financial management, and organizational stability. If a charter school does not meet performance goals, it may be closed." }, { "question": "Are charter schools all the same?", "answer": "No. Charter schools can vary a great deal in their design and in their results. Uncommon Schools creates schools based on the principles and practices that have proven successful in producing significant academic gains at high-performing urban charter public schools across the country. This varies from state to state, depending on the state's charter law. In New York, there are three authorizers: the New York State Board of Regents, the State University of New York Board of Trustees, and local boards of education. In New Jersey, there is one authorizer, the state Commissioner of Education. In Massachusetts, the authorizer is the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education." }, { "question": "Who can start a charter school?", "answer": "Parents, community leaders, social entrepreneurs, businesses, teachers, school districts, and municipalities can submit a charter school proposal to their state's charter authorizing entity." }, { "question": "Whom do they serve?", "answer": "Nationwide, students in charter schools have similar demographic characteristics to students in the local public schools. In some states, charter schools serve significantly higher percentages of minority or low-income students than the traditional public schools. Charter schools accept students by random, public lottery. As public schools, charter schools are tuition-free. They are funded according to enrollment levels and receive public funds on a per pupil basis. In some states, such as Alaska, Colorado, Minnesota, and New Jersey, they receive less than 100% of the funds allocated to their traditional counterparts for school operations. In other states, such as California, additional funds or loans are made available to them. In most states, charters do not receive capital funds to support facility expenses. Charter schools are entitled to federal categorical funding for which their students are eligible, such as Title I and Special Education monies. Federal legislation provides grants to help charters to manage start-up costs." }, { "question": "What is a charter management organization?", "answer": "Charter management organizations (CMOs), generally speaking, are organizations that contract with an individual school or schools to deliver management services. These services typically include curriculum development, assessment design, professional development, systems implementation, back-office services, teacher recruitment, and facility services. Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit CMO that contracts with individual charter school boards of trustees. Uncommon's \"bottom line\" is that each school achieves at the highest level. All decisions are made in the context of what is best for the individual school to ensure student achievement and outstanding academic results." }, { "question": "What makes the schools in Uncommon different from other schools?", "answer": "Uncommon schools share the following key attributes: a college preparatory mission; high standards for academics and character; a highly structured learning environment; a longer school day and a longer school year; a focus on accountability and data-driven instruction; and a faculty of committed and talented leaders and teachers. Schools within the Uncommon network are modeled on some of the highest-performing urban public charter schools in the country." }, { "question": "How can I enroll my child at an Uncommon School?", "answer": "Each school admits students through a random lottery. Based on legislation passed in 2007, all New York City charter schools, beginning in the 2008-9 school year, must give preference to students resident in the Community School District (CSD) in which the charter school is located. However, students who reside outside the CSD are eligible to apply and may be admitted if space permits. Please visit the individual school pages to learn more about the enrollment processes for Boston, New York City, Newark, Rochester, and Troy." }, { "question": "Do teachers need to be certified to work at an Uncommon school?", "answer": "Certification requirements vary on a state-by-state basis. In New Jersey, all teachers must be certified, and Uncommon Schools helps teachers navigate the alternate route process to secure their teaching credentials. In New York, while the state does not require that 100% of teachers be certified at each charter school, the rules under the \"No Child Left Behind\" Law mean that teachers need to get their licenses with reasonable speed; Uncommon New York City is able to ensure that its teachers are enrolled in a Master's program that provides provisional certification and, more importantly, high quality training. In Massachusetts, charter school teachers must attain Highly Qualified teacher status as dictated by the \"No Child Left Behind\" Law by possessing a bachelor’s degree and demonstrating subject matter competence in the subjects they teach; Uncommon Boston encourages teachers to get certified and assists them in this process." } ]

[ { "question": "does anyone find it ironic that steam has more epic games than epic store does?", "answer": "It doesn't make any sense that they wouldn't fill their store with their own product if that's what you mean, but it could also be that it's their back catalog that doesn't sell well and they want only the top sellers for their store right now. I mean, one of the things that whiny crybabies cry about on steam is that there's too many choices to make and they'd really like it if someone went through and sifted everything out so that they didn't have to do it (as if you actually have to sift through every game on the store). So they'd like the fact that right now Epic doesn't have a lot of stuff to sift through. Fewer choices make tough decisions easier! No because that's not what irony is. This kind of argument comes up all the time, especially when someone uses it in anything other than the \"dramatic irony\" form which is probably the one definition everyone goes to when they're going to make this stupid argument. Irony is a figure of speech which is a contradiction or incongruity between what is expected and what actually occurs. So if TC expected Epic to have more Epic games than steam does and sees the opposite, then that is indeed irony. Maybe YOU don't find it ironic... This would still qualify as situational irony, where you expect one thing and get something else. It's just not ironic given all the facts though. I mean I guess Joe GameFAQ'er can just make this thread because it was a fleeting thought in his carb-overloaded mind and he needed the endorphin rush from the responses. Call me \"fun at parties\" but it's a pretty dumb thought when you apply any sort of logic to it." } ]

[ { "question": "Why is TECT suggesting this change?", "answer": "As a diligent Trust, we have been considering the recent demerger of Trustpower, and the technological changes that are still to come in the electricity industry. In particular, we have considered the uncertainty of inevitable change and how this could affect the future of TECT and our current and future beneficiaries. In response, Trustees have developed a proposal for change designed to provide certainty for the community. While developing this proposal, we have sought to balance both the interests of eligible TECT Consumers today with the needs of generations to come. It is important to note that consumers will be consulted for their views on the changes in a five-week consultation process. The assets of the Tauranga Energy Consumer Trust would be distributed to the TECT Charitable Trust, after a one-off $2,500 payment to Consumers as outlined below. TECT Charitable Trust’s focus would be solely a provider of funds to community and charitable groups and over time Trustees would aim to triple the amount available for community projects and groups (in 2017 it was $7.7m). Eligible Consumers would receive a one-off lump sum TECT cheque payment of $2,500, representing about five years’ payments based on the current average annual TECT cheque (in 2017 it was $497). Five more years of TECT cheques. $20M will be distributed annually to consumers from 2018 through to 2022 (based on the number of 2017 eligible Consumers this equates to approximately $360 per Consumer account). After 2022, there would be no further Consumer cheques, and the Tauranga Energy Consumer Trust would be wound up. From 2023, income would be distributed exclusively into Tauranga and Western Bay of Plenty community and charitable organisations. Eligible consumers will be those who had a Trustpower power account within the TECT District on 1 January 2018 and continuously through to 30 June 2018. We have more than one power account." }, { "question": "Trustees didn't stand on a change mandate so why make them now?", "answer": "Yes, you’re right. That’s why the Trustees are seeking feedback on the proposal, and will only implement a change after taking a vote through a consumers referendum." }, { "question": "Why not wind up the Trust and transfer the existing assets back to Consumers?", "answer": "This is also not something under consideration as part of the draft proposal as Trustees unanimously agree that distributing all the funds to current consumers does not provide a balance between the interests of current and future beneficiaries. Winding up TECT would deliver a short-term benefit to today’s beneficiaries but future generations of beneficiaries would be disadvantaged." }, { "question": "Why is TECT consulting before agreeing the final proposal?", "answer": "The Trustees have a unanimous view on the best way forward which is the proposal that they have put forward. However, these conclusions are preliminary until such time as the Trustees have had a chance to take account of the views expressed by consumers through the consultation process." }, { "question": "Under the proposed changes, won't Trustees simply be dispersing money to their favourite pet projects instead of community grants that will benefit everyone?", "answer": "Throughout TECT’s history the Trustees have always been guided by a granting policy which is developed in consultation with the community. There is no intention to change this. Three of the six trustees are voted in every two years which gives the community the opportunity to have a say on the governance of the Trust." }, { "question": "If the proposal attracts enough support and proceeds, what input would TECT Consumers have around the types of community initiatives that get funded each year?", "answer": "Trustees have committed to the same information flow that exists now. Their annual distribution plan would be published for community feedback, and there is also a commitment to consult on major decisions – in the same way TECT consulted over the grant to the Tertiary Campus project." }, { "question": "What do you say to people who depend on the annual cheque to help with the cost of living?", "answer": "We acknowledge that the proposal represents change, but it also represents an important opportunity to contribute to more people, not just for the wider community today, but for the benefit of generations to come. The Trustees wish to hear from consumers to understand their thoughts." }, { "question": "To fund the proposal will TECT sell down it's shareholding in Trustpower?", "answer": "There is no current plan to sell any Trustpower shares. TECT has a variety of other options to fund the proposal. The Trustees will decide on the most appropriate mix if the proposal is accepted. Consumers are welcome to submit your views on this matter." }, { "question": "What groups or initiatives will be funded through the community grants?", "answer": "To be considered for funding from TECT an organisation must be a Public Benefit Entity (PBE). PBEs are entities whose primary objective is to provide goods or services for community or social benefit and where any equity has been provided with a view to supporting that primary objective rather than for a financial return to equity holders." }, { "question": "How much money will be available to community organisations?", "answer": "This will depend on future income. Initial estimates are that we will be able to distribute up to triple the value of that in the past. Last year the distribution to community and charitable organisations was $7.7m." }, { "question": "When would the $2,500 be paid out?", "answer": "Under the current draft proposal, if a majority of voting consumers support the proposal, it is envisaged a pay-out would be made when the High Court has approved the process. This is expected to be in late 2018." } ]

[ { "question": "Christmas Decoration FAQ: Are there any nostalgic Christmas decorating tips?", "answer": "You've decided that you are sick of commercialism. You're tired of feeling rushed and tired as you try to keep up with one thing after another. This year, you're taking a trip back in time to the simple, family oriented holidays of earlier times. Of course, those modern decorations you used for last Christmas won't quite fit this year's theme. You need to shop for nostalgic Christmas decorating ideas that capture the mood of your old fashioned holiday plans. The first thing you should consider is the type of tree you will be using. A seven foot tall Douglas fir, spruce or pine tree perfectly captures a Victorian ambiance. However, if you'd rather travel back to the early twentieth century, perhaps a silver tree is the right choice. When you've decided on a tree, it is time to think about ornaments. You can find old fashioned glass European ornaments and artificial electric candle ornaments that will help you safely recreate the look of a candle covered Victorian tree. For a tree that reminds people of the roaring twenties, look for flapper ornaments and other fun prohibition era themed items. If you are a fan of Elvis and the whole rock theme, you can find ornaments commemorating this rock legend. Once the tree is set up and decorated, don't forget to take a few moments to sit down and admire your work. After all, with your commitment to a simpler Christmas, you'll actually have time to enjoy the things you do to prepare for the holidays." } ]

The residential areas of Southsea, Milton and Tipner have relatively better air quality." }, { "question": "Does the port make it worse?", "answer": "The port does play a role in local air quality.

For very fine particle PM2.5 pollution, we have a level of 12 ug/m3 in 2016, which is equal to Leicester, London and Nottingham. There are only a few worse locations nationally (at 13 ug/m3) such as Swansea, Storrington (West Sussex), Stanford-Le-Hope (Essex). The WHO recommended limit is 10 ug/m3. For NO2, the worst reading in Portsmouth for 2016 is 49 ug/m3. The worst locations nationally were London (Lambeth, 134 ug/m3), Brighton and Hove (98 ug/m3), Bristol (97ug/m3). The legal limit is 40 ug/m3 (annual mean). Many other countries have much higher pollution, particularly in large cities in India, Bhutan and Egypt." } ]

[ { "question": "What are the locations of registration, start line and finish line for the Great Fjord Swim?", "answer": "Registration takes place at Killary Adventure Centre. The start line for the 2km and 750m races is from the water in Killary Fjord where competitors are dropped to by boat. The finish line for both races is on the beach near the Killary Adventure Centre activity site. The start and finish lines for the 3.9km race is on the beach near the Killary Adventure Centre activity site. 3." }, { "question": "What type of wetsuit should I wear?", "answer": "You should use a well-fitting specific wetsuit, such as those designed for triathlons. These are usually made from a flexible neoprene that allows you to swim normally whilst helping to insulate the body against the cold water. The most important thing is that whatever wetsuit you decide to wear – surfing, shortie, specific swimming wetsuit – it fits well. It should be snug when you put it on, so the water is trapped next to your body to warm you up. It should not be loose fitting, so the water flows through it, as this will not warm you up and could restrict your swimming. We recommend that you try the wetsuit out before event day, even if this is in a swimming pool. 4." }, { "question": "Why do I need a tow-float and how can I get one?", "answer": "Tow-floats have been introduced as mandatory since the 2015 event for safety reasons.

[ { "question": "How do Possessory Interests differ from other assessments?", "answer": "Possessory Interests (PI) are only those rights held by the private possessor. PIs do not include the value of any rights retained by the public owner or any right that will revert back to the public owner at the end of the term of possession. PI assessments are normally less and often significantly less than fee simple assessments of similar, privately owned property. 1." }, { "question": "What is a Possessory Interest?", "answer": "A Possessory Interest (PI) is created when a private party has the beneficial use of tax-exempt (government owned) property. 2." }, { "question": "Why do I have to pay property taxes if the property is tax-exempt?", "answer": "The California property tax laws allow for the users of the property to be assessed when the owner is tax-exempt because it is government owned. 3." }, { "question": "How does the Assessor distinguish which Possessory Interests are assessable and those which are not?", "answer": "Durable: There must be reasonably certain evidence to show that the possession will continue for a determinable period of time. Exclusive: Its holder must be able to exclude others from interfering with the use of the property, (or, where there is concurrent use, the concurrent use does not significantly interfere with the holder’s use). Independent: The use must be independent of the public owner. That is, its holder may exercise authority and control of the property apart from the rules and regulations of the public owner. 5." }, { "question": "Isn’t that a form of double taxation?", "answer": "Government entities do not pay property tax and thus their rent charges do not include an increment to recover such taxes. At the same time, the private possessor still receives the services and benefits (fire and police protection, schools and local government) that other similar taxable properties enjoy and the Possessory Interest property tax helps to pay the holder’s fair share of those costs. 6." }, { "question": "How are Possessory Interests valued?", "answer": "The income approach is the most commonly relied upon method. The value is typically based on the lease payments made to the landlord of the term of possession by the occupant. 7." }, { "question": "Why are Possessory Interests assessed on the Unsecured Tax Roll?", "answer": "Possessory Interests (PI) are normally assessed on the Unsecured Tax Roll because the property is not owned by the assessee and cannot provide security for the taxes owed. The county cannot lien the property in order to satisfy a delinquent property tax. PIs are assessed as real property on the Unsecured Roll but still fall under the umbrella of Proposition 13. Although PIs appear on the Unsecured Roll, they are still assessed according to the laws pertaining to secured real property. 8." }, { "question": "How do Possessory Interest Unsecured tax bills differ from Secured Roll tax bills?", "answer": "Unsecured tax bills are due and payable in full no later August 31st each year. If paid after August 31st, a penalty of 10% plus costs will be added to the amount due. Unsecured tax bills are not split into two installments with two different delinquency dates, as is true of Secured Roll tax bills. 9. I received a tax bill for the year July 1 through June 30, but I vacated the property in March." }, { "question": "Why do I have to pay for the year after I vacated?", "answer": "The assessee is determined on January 1st each year for the upcoming fiscal year, July 1st through June 30th. Tax bills for unsecured property become delinquent if not paid by August 31st each year. Contact the Assessor if you vacate the property between January 1st and June 30th. 10." }, { "question": "Where can additional information about Possessory Interest Assessments be obtained?", "answer": "View the Assessor’s Hand Book AH-517, The Appraisal of Possessory Interests (PDF)." } ]

[ { "question": "What modelling techniques can I use?", "answer": "Radial Basis Functions - This unique approach is an efficient numerical technique to generate a non-linear function that ‘maps’ the property variations in a descriptor space. A more computationally intensive version of this approach can also be used where a genetic algorithm initially searches for the optimal descriptor space in which to describe those variations. Gaussian Processes - This powerful ‘machine learning’ technique generates robust non-linear models using a Bayesian statistical approach. Decision Trees - This is a recursive partitioning approach to building classification models in cases where good ‘continuous’ data are not available. Random Forests - This is an ensemble method that makes predictions based on the output of a collection of random trees." }, { "question": "What modelling technique(s) will the Auto-Modeller use?", "answer": "All the appropriate methods (listed above) are automatically applied simultaneously to each modeling problem and the results are rigorously compared to identify the best model of your data." }, { "question": "Can my colleagues use the model I generate?", "answer": "Yes, once a model has been built, you can easily share it or ‘publish’ it on a model server for all StarDrop users to access. This enables new models to be rapidly applied to the design of new chemistry." }, { "question": "Why do I need to split my data set?", "answer": "The data set of molecules and associated property values that have been experimentally determined are split into three sub-sets; a training set used to train individual models using each modeling technique, a validation set used to compare the performance of each model in order to select the best, and an independent test set used to confirm the predictive power of the final model. This provides for the development of a robust model." } ]

Additionally, we use expeller pressed canola oil, meaning that the canola oil is extracted using pressure and friction, NOT chemical solvents. Canola oil contains the least amount of saturated fat of any cooking oil and has a higher smoke point than most oils, which makes it better for cooking." } ]

[ { "question": "Do you do body piercing?", "answer": "No. We are a tattoo studio only. We no longer offer any form of body piercing (no removals, no insertions, no adjustments, no trouble shooting, nothing whatsoever to do with the art of body piercing). We do sell some jewelry but again, we don’t do insertions, adjustments, change-outs, ect. Swing by the shop! We have a small retail selection of jewelry but we do not remove, insert, trouble-shoot or pierce anyone. We operate from noon-8 pm Daily. We are closed for inclement weather and all major American holidays." }, { "question": "Can I get tattooed TODAY?", "answer": "Maybe. We take walk-ins and if there is time and an artist is available, we will tattoo you. If there isn’t time enough to tattoo you, all our artists are booked, or you don’t want a long wait, we take appointments every day although each artist does not work every single day. We highly recommend appointments if you don’t want a long wait or if your work requires custom drawing (although sometimes quick art modifications can be done on the spot). For a tattoo, you must speak to a tattoo artist in person during a free consultation prior to getting an appointment for a tattoo so we know how much time to book and what is involved in your piece. A $50-$200 NONREFUNDABLE deposit is required for all appointments and no artist will work on your artwork without a deposit. Deposit amounts are based on the size and difficulty of the project. Once you have reviewed our portfolios, you will have an idea whose style you like. Not every provider works every day and you must speak to the artist in person during a consultation before an appointment can be set. This consultation gives you and the artist time to discuss your ideas. Your artist will ask you exactly how you want your tattoo to look so it is important to have given this permanent change in your appearance lots of thought. If you can’t convey what you like, it’s very difficult for even the most talented tattoo artist to guess correctly, so if you have reference material (images from magazines or the internet), bring it with you so the artist can see what you like. Once you have consulted an artist in person you may set up an appointment at the time of the consultation. Sometimes detailed custom work must be drawn up prior to getting an accurate quote and a deposit is required before any artist will work on your tattoo design. This ensures artists aren’t wasting their time drawing art for people who are not actually ready to get tattooed." }, { "question": "Do I need to bring anything?", "answer": "Dark Horse Tattoos chooses to accept minor clients on a case by case basis. Each tattoo artist may have his or her own guidelines. Please feel free to call or check with the provider on staff that day. parent’s or legal guardian’s state ID, driver’s license, or passport (parent must be present). In the case of legal guardianship, according to the law, we must see the court documents and cannot accept your word for the relationship. If there has been a name change (ie, child’s name does not match parent’s), you must provide documentation of the name change. All appointments (and custom art) require a $50-$200 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit; deposit amounts are based on the size and difficulty of your project. Deposits are always non-refundable under all circumstances even if you decide not to get tattooed or simply do not show up for your appointment for any reason. Deposits come off the total cost of your tattoo. In the case of a multi-session tattoo, tattoos are taken off the LAST session. Deposit are for a specific design, date and artist, so if you change any of the afore conditions you will lose your initial deposit and will be required to put down a new deposit if the artist put work into custom art based on the original idea you set the appointment for. Appointments can be changed but a minimum of 48 hour hours notice is required so the artist can fill the slot in her or his schedule. If you are asked to bring reference material in advance of your appointment so the artist can work on your design and you fail to do so as requested, you can lose your deposit. Deposits are for a tattoo not artwork; the artist retains the artwork which was created for the appointment. Artwork cannot be emailed, texted or photographed to protect the artist’s work. All deposits expire if work is not under-taken within 6 months of today’s date unless other arrangements are agreed upon in writing. We allow TWO reschedules per tattoo because we know things can come up and life is unpredictable. After two reschedules for the same design, you must prepay all future appointments for that design in full prior to arrival. Yes, we require valid government issued identification each and every time even if we’ve worked with you before. Cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, credit/debit card, and DHT gift cards. Our minimum charge is $60 for tattoos but many factors effect the price including the size, placement and detail of the design. Coming in to the studio in person with your design (if you have one) is the ONLY way to get a price on a tattoo as we can’t price designs over the Internet, by fax, phone or mail. Our tattoo prices cover one of the very cleanest and safest environment in which you can be tattooed. Regardless of the size of your tattoo, from a full sleeve to a tiny dot, the single use set up costs the artist the same which is why there is no discount for multiple people getting the same design. For small designs we can usually quote a flat fee for the work. For larger designs, we will quote an hourly fee or a session fee. If your dream tattoo costs more than you expected, it’s best to save your money so you can get what you want rather than compromise your standards because after all, tattoos last a lifetime. REMEMBER: The sweetness of a cheap price is long forgotten over the lingering bitterness of a bad tattoo." }, { "question": "Can you price my tattoo over the phone?", "answer": "No. We do not price over the phone, through email or social media. The best way to get a price is to physically come into the shop due to the many complexities involved — if you need dedicated talk-time with an artist feel feel to request a consultation by telephone or by stopping by and chatting with reception. Please do! All providers work on straight commission and tips account for a large portion of their income just like waitresses or stylists. That being said, a tip is based on your satisfaction and not required." }, { "question": "Can I bring my own picture in?", "answer": "YES! We encourage you to bring pictures in to help describe how your tattoo should look. Images help artists and clients to get on the same page when discussing styles, colors and symbolism. Even if the image isn’t exactly what you want if there is something about the picture you like it can help convey to your artist the final look you’re going for and almost any image can be turned into a custom tattoo made to fit. Naturally if you need us to redraw a sketch you have, we can do that also, although a deposit is required for us to work on any tattoo design." }, { "question": "Can I get my tattoo in private?", "answer": "Absolutely. We have private procedure rooms to serve you in the case of a private location. You do, however, have the option to bring 1 guest into your procedure room if it comforts you. And remember, ALL minors can have a parent present. Large scale work is paid for over time with payment due at the time of each session rather than beforehand or after it’s finished. It is expensive based on the time, creativity and attention to detail involved but paying as you go helps. Your best bet for an estimate is to consult with an artist so you can discuss your tattoo specifically. First be on time. Providers schedule work based on your punctuality; their very livelihoods depend upon it, so please, please, please be on time. Drink plenty of fluids the day of your appointment. Eat sensibly and eat directly before your appointment. You are less likely to feel faint if your blood sugar level is normal. Wear appropriate clothing. We need bare skin to tattoo and we don’t want to mess up fancy clothing. Think ahead about what needs to be exposed and then dress appropriately with something loose-fitting. Bring your i-Pod. Music helps. Seriously. Do NOT bring a gaggle of friends/family to your appointment; only 1 guest is allowed in the procedure room and that guest must be at least 16 years old. Remember this is permanent and your provider must concentrate. Do NOT bring children. Our liability insurance bars them from entering the procedure rooms for everyone’s safety and we regretfully do not provide baby-sitting services. Do NOT drink alcohol or take drugs. The law demands we turn you away in such a case and you would lose your deposit. In fact, we prefer you don’t drink the night before either; ANY alcohol thins out the blood resulting in excessive bleeding which can negatively impact your work’s results. Do NOT apply Emla cream. The law forbids us to work on you in such a case. Emla & lydocaine creams make your tissue swell and resist the needle. Swelling hinders the needle’s penetration so depositing tattoo pigment doesn’t work well, your tattoo would end up looking faded and old from the get-go. Do NOT take painkillers. All OTC and prescription drugs have a blood-thinning agent meant to assist the effect of the drug upon the body. Drugs are not very effective in blocking the pain of tattoos or piercings; tattoos and piercings hurt and that is simply the truth. Bearing the sensation is simply part of the process." }, { "question": "What do I do if I feel faint, light-headed or nauseous before, during or after a procedure?", "answer": "Tell your provider immediately. Do not try to ignore your body! While feeling sick is fairly uncommon, it’s not unheard of and we know what to do. Let us help! Not in the clinical sense, but once someone knows what a tattoo feels like, their fear level goes down and he or she usually gets more than one. Acceptance is very high for tattoos and because body modification doesn’t carry the stigma it once did, more and more people feel free to express themselves as individuals. All this means is that you might like the result enough to get more than one tattoo. Yes, tattoos hurt but most tolerate the sensation better than they imagine they would. Tattooing is a stinging sensation. Some areas are more painful than others depending on the person and her or his individual tolerance to discomfort. Happily, most folks tell us it’s not as bad as they imagined it to be." }, { "question": "How many tattoos is it possible to get at one time?", "answer": "We usually say that two procedures at once won’t over-tax your body. Remember your body has a limit to how many wounds it can handle healing at one time." }, { "question": "Do your tattoo artists only offer one style of work?", "answer": "We’re artistically versatile and offer many styles of work from simple small pieces to glorious large scale custom creations. Our portfolios feature many styles including, but not limited to, traditional American and neo-traditional work, Japanese work, photo-realism, grey-wash, black-work, portraiture, cartoons, and more. Check out our artist’s portfolios on the website or drop by the studio and talk with our staff to discover just how artistically versatile our artists are. No. Not every image is tattoo-able though most any image can be modified to become a successful tattoo if you take your artist’s expertise and experience into account. Some details might need to be removed or the scale or placement might need to be changed. You are paying in part for our expert advice in the skill of tattooing, so we heartily recommend you accept our goal is your satisfaction with a tattoo that will be successful and gracefully weather the years to come." }, { "question": "I want a tattoo, but my job/school/family/etc wouldn't like it, can you tattoo with white ink?", "answer": "We offer white tattooing with a special waiver explaining the risks of all-white tattoos and we do not do free touch-ups on all white tattoos." }, { "question": "Do you mostly tattoo men or only have designs that appeal to men?", "answer": "No! Our clients represent a nearly perfect 50/50 split in gender! And don’t forget we can take your special idea and make it into a custom tattoo just for you." }, { "question": "Can I get a color tattoo if I am dark skinned?", "answer": "Just because you aren’t ghostly white, doesn’t mean color is always precluded. Ask you artist what will work best with your skin tone but do realize even the most bright & vibrant of colors will look duller on darker skin." }, { "question": "Why can't I have a detailed tattoo design done super small?", "answer": "Be afraid! Too small tattoos just don’t hold up over time. Teeny tiny tattoos will turn into an indistinguishable blob. Every tattoo expands with age in every single person. The body is a living canvass and life means wear and tear; biological change is inevitable. Your artist can explain scale limitations in person." }, { "question": "Can you rehabilitate an old tattoo?", "answer": "It depends on the tattoo. Most of the time we can re-work old pieces to make them look like new again by re-coloring them. Sometimes, especially in cases where tattoos were done too-small in the first place, you may only have covering it up or lasering it off as an option. We’ll give you our best advice if you show us what you have." }, { "question": "Can you cover up a tattoo I am no longer satisfied with?", "answer": "Often times we can but sometimes we can’t (especially in the case of a very dark dense black piece or a situation where you are trying to cover up something that’s already been covered once). Cover ups are a more specialized art unto themselves and not every artist wants to deal with fixing a bad piece of work. If we think we can create a successful tattoo, we will. If not, we might recommend lasering the tattoo a few times to lighten it to the point where your cover up options greatly expand." }, { "question": "Can you tattoo me with glow-in-the-dark (black light reactive) ink?", "answer": "No. Our insurance forbids it. Additionally, no one here is really convinced it’s safe or long-lasting." }, { "question": "Can you tattoo over scars or stretch-marks?", "answer": "Maybe. It depends on your skin and the marks in question. We have to see your skin to make a determination but in general marks must be well over a year old and must not be too bad. Because the density of tissue is different in a scar, it often times it resists tattoo pigment by taking it unevenly resulting in patchy coloring." }, { "question": "Can you tattoo ANY body part?", "answer": "All skin can be tattooed but not all skin tattoos well. For example, the palms of the hands do not tattoo well because you simply wear off the tattoo in most cases." }, { "question": "Can you remove any tattoo by laser?", "answer": "Not necessarily. The owner has had laser removal done on some of her tattoos and one can see a ghost outline of the former tattoos. Swing by the shop if you want to talk to her about the process. The only way to completely remove a tattoo is surgery and in such a case, a scar would inevitably result. While lasering is a great option, it’s not realistic to expect it to restore skin to it’s pre-tattooed state. It can definitely lighten work, especially black and color to a lesser degree, which can give more cover-up options." }, { "question": "Can I get an infection from a tattoo?", "answer": "There is virtually no chance of getting an infection from the PROCESS of getting a tattoo since we sterilize all procedural equipment and use new sterile needles for each and every client. That being said, caring for your new tattoo or piercing while it is healing is up to YOU and if you don’t take care of it properly as we advise, you CAN get an infection. After all, tattoos are OPEN WOUNDS and must be treated appropriately. Please read our aftercare instructions HERE. Our studio itself and all our artists & piercers are licensed by Virginia’s Department of Professional Occupational Regulation. Feel free to come in and check out our licenses which are posted in plain view. YES! In accordance with Virginia law, all needles are brand new, sterilized and single use for each and every client. Needles are discarded in an approved sharps container after use. We use the same hospital-grade sterilization as hospitals or dental offices through the use of one of our two new Tuttnaur 1730 autoclave sterilizers. Autoclaves combine extreme pressure and high temperatures to destroy microbial agents (bacteria & viruses) resulting in sterility. Our autoclaves are subject to spore testing by an independent agency to ensure they are properly functioning. YES! The pigments used in tattooing are poured into tiny single use ink caps and discarded after the tattoo is completed." }, { "question": "What else do you do to protect my health?", "answer": "All providers are trained in CPR, Basic First Aid, & Universal Precautions and are licensed by the state for their vocation.

[ { "question": "How to be sure?", "answer": "Buy from a company that participates in the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) certification and labeling process as well as the ENERGY STAR Windows program. The company you choose should also participate in the American Architectural Manufactures Association (AAMA) and have a permanent label on their product to indicate participation. You want a window company that cares about the quality and energy efficiency of the products they sell and can prove it. You want Hansons’ Windows." }, { "question": "Drafty windows?", "answer": "Here is the solution. Drafty windows (air infiltration) have several causes. The number one cause is AGE! As your windows get older they will become less efficient." }, { "question": "The best solution?", "answer": "Get new replacement windows that are guaranteed for the life of your home. If you had replacement windows installed recently and they are still drafty it is possible that the installation was improper. Those defects can normally be corrected without removing or replacing the window. Proper caulking and flashing should prevent perimeter air leakage. However, if the installation twists or racks the window frame causing the sash weatherstrip not to be able to seal the frame, removal of the window to correct the problem may be necessary. There are many factors to consider if your windows are drafty so give Hansons’ a call for a free, no obligation analysis. Condensation is a direct result of interior humidity and the difference between indoor and outside temperature. If you keep the humidity in your house low, then the likelihood of experiencing condensation is also low. However, the efficiency of your window will also impact the temperature and humidity level at which condensation occurs. Energy efficient windows will help reduce condensation. A call to Hansons’ will answer your questions about the condensation problem. Choose a company with a proven track record and good references right in your own town. Make sure you are getting a high Quality product and certified installers. A call to 1-800-HANSONS will deliver the information you need from your own neighbors." }, { "question": "What’s the best way to evaluate a window’s energy performance?", "answer": "The easiest way to compare energy performance of different windows is to read the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) label. It provides valuable efficiency information about the product including the u-value, solar heat gain and visible light transmittance values. Also check and see if the product is ENERGY STAR approved. Windows may have a draft for a number of reasons including; cracked calk, improper window locking, interlocks poorly lined up to properly seal the window or damaged or missing weather stripping. There also could be poor insulation within the interior walls. These types of problems are easy to remedy, and 1-800-HANSONS is always available to service your needs. You need to consider that windows may seem “drafty” for another reason; a process known in physics as convection. Convection can lead you to believe that your windows are drafty. Actually what you are experiencing is warm air forcing colder to move due to differing density properties. When heated air circulates through the home and reaches window glass it effectively pushes existing air off the glass, thus the drafty effect. An easy experiment to demonstrate how convection works is as follows: Fill a glass with ice water letting it stand about ten minutes. Then place your hands around the glass without touching it. You will feel cold air as warm air pushes it away from the glass surface. Tips to reduce convection: Leave your blinds or windows open about a ¼ inch, allowing the heated air to reach the glass. Make sure that furnishings do not obstruct your heat register exchanges. Convection is actually proof that your new windows are energy efficient." } ]

[ { "question": "But, as we look for the arrival of the Antichrist, should we not also be looking for the arrival of apostasy?", "answer": "And where else should we first look but in our own house for the Bible tells us that judgment will begin in the house of the Lord (1 Peter 4:17). If there is indeed an apostasy occurring in the Christian Church, we would not know it unless we first examined the Bible closely and then compared the Church to the Word of God. It is only after truth is established that we would then have a measuring rod by which apostasy can be detected. Therefore, I propose the following list of biblical truths as a sample of essential Christian and non-essential doctrines by which we might compare other teachings and phenomena. Note this is not absolute and the nuances of several can be debated as not all will agree with the categorization of all points. 1. Primary Essentials (Nature and work of Christ) – Cannot deny and be Christian since they are explicitly stated as required in scripture. 1. Jesus is both God and man (John 1:1,14;8:24; Col. 2:9; 1 John 4:1-4). 2. Jesus rose from the dead physically (John 2:19-21). 3. Salvation is by grace through faith (Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 5:1-5). 4. The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus (1 Cor. 15:1-4; Gal. 1:8-9). 2. Secondary Essentials – (Nature of God) Cannot deny and be Christian. 2. Virgin Birth of Jesus – relates to incarnation of Christ as God and man. 3. Primary Non-Essentials (Bible, Church ordinances, and practice) – Denial does not void salvation, yet principles are clearly taught in scripture. Denial suggests apostasy. 4. Secondary Non-Essentials – does not affect one’s salvation relationship with God. Debated within Christianity. Denial or acceptance does not suggest apostasy. 3. Communion every week, monthly, or quarterly, etc. 5. Worship with or without instruments, traditional or contemporary. 6. Pretribulation rapture, midtribulation rapture, posttribulation rapture. 7. Premillennialism, amillennialism, and post millennialism. Of course, the non-essentials are debatable (which unfortunately leads to denominational fragmentation). But by way of explanation, the Primary Essentials, are those doctrines that the Bible states if they are denied, damnation follows. I have written on this in Essential Doctrines. For brevity, the Bible states that if you deny Jesus is God, you are dead in your sins (John 8:24,58 cf. Exodus 3:14); that if you deny Jesus’ physical resurrection, your faith is in vain (1 Cor. 15:14, cf. John 2:19-21); that if you add works to salvation, you are not in Christ (Gal. 3:1-3; 5:1-4); and that if you preach a gospel contrary to what the apostles preached, you are accursed (Gal. 1:8-9, cf., 1 Cor. 15:1-4). Therefore, to deny any of these doctrines, according to scripture, is to be outside the camp of Christ, and invited eternal damnation. This would obviously be apostasy. The Secondary Essentials are essentials that further clarify orthodoxy, but there is no explicitly scriptural statement regarding each (that I am aware of) which states that denying them results in damnation the way the Primary Essentials do. The Secondary Essentials deal with the nature of God, primarily. The fact that there is one God who is a Trinity, is clearly essential to Christian orthodoxy, but there is no scriptural statement stating that to believe in the Trinity is necessary for salvation. However, that does not mean that denial of the Trinity is acceptable. A person can be saved without knowing about the Trinity. But, since the Trinity is a biblical truth, and the believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit who bears witness of truth, a true Christian will not openly denounce the Trinity once he has been taught it from scripture. So, it could be said that the Secondary Essentials are essentials to the faith as well as the Primary Essentials are. The Primary Non-Essentials are biblical teachings that if denied do not affect one’s salvation. But, because the Bible teaches then, denying them is a sign of apostasy. The Secondary Non-Essentials do not affect ones position with God nor do they affirm or deny biblical teaching since they are debatable. Having differing beliefs in these is not a sign of apostasy, just differences of opinion. Again, I am aware that the categorization of the non-essentials is debatable, but I must draw the line somewhere. Sadly, it is in Secondary non-essential doctrines that most denominational fragmentation occurs. This is a sad display that most division occurs over that which is least important. Furthermore, I believe that it is in the area of the Non-Essentials that apostasy can first be detected. As quoted above, there is a prophecy in 2 Thessalonians about a coming apostasy that is associated with the disclosure of the anti-Christ." }, { "question": "If you are, are you also looking for the related apostasy?", "answer": "Most Christians are looking for the anti-Christ but are not looking for signs of apostasy. The Bible is God’s word and it tells us what is right and wrong. To the degree that anyone disagrees with the truths of God’s word, to that same degree they are falling away from it." }, { "question": "What, then, might be some of the signs of apostasy?", "answer": "I’ve compiled a representative list of issues. You may or may not agree with all of these, but I provide them as food for thought. 1. Denial of basic Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the deity of the Holy Spirit, salvation by grace, and moral absolutes as found in the Bible. 1. God’s word is true. Deviation from the basics of its truth is surely apostasy. 2. Countless denominational divisions that contradict John 13:35 and 1 Cor. 1:10. 2. Of course, there are bound to be divisions in the body of Christ and differences of opinions are permitted (Rom. 14:1-12). But, the amount of divisions in the Church is ridiculous and contrary to Col. 3:14. 1. Homosexuality is clearly condemned in God’s word (Lev. 18:22; 1 Cor. 6:9). To ordain homosexuals into ministry is clearly contrary to biblical truth and clearly apostasy. 1. Whether people like it or not in this politically correct environment, the Bible does not support women as elders or as pastors (1 Tim. 2:12-14; 3:2; Titus 1:5-7). Men are called to be leaders in the church. The fact that women elders and pastors exist is a sign that men are not doing their God-given job. 2. Also, if you believe in women pastors and elders, do not dismiss this article. you must always examine yourself to see if what you believe is biblical. 5. Not preaching the gospel per 1 Cor. 15:1-4. 1. The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for our sins. It is not a message of convenience or embarrassment. Do not be ashamed of the gospel (Rom. 1:16). 6. Using the Lord’s name in vain, something a surprising number of Christians do. 1. God’s name and title are to be used only by Christians in a reverent and respectful manner, never in casual exclamation. Just because the sinners do it, does not mean it is okay for the Christians. 7. Not sending out or failing to support missionaries (or cutting back unnecessarily) in violation of Matt. 28:18-20. 1. Carrying out the Great Commission is the command of Jesus. Any church that is able to support missionary work and does not, is in direct violation of Christ’s command in the Great Commission. 1. Those in ministry should make a living from their labor. Churches should seek to spread the gospel best they can and selling things to do it is acceptable." }, { "question": "Remember how Jesus cleansed the temple?", "answer": "9. Pastors who are more concerned with growing a church than preaching the truth. 1. Whoever and wherever they are, they need to repent. Pastors must stand on the truth of God’s word, even if it costs them financially and materially. 1. Of course, this should be rare. But, any pastor who does not seek God’s face in humility is seeking to do a job, not a ministry, under his own power. 11. Pastors who cave in to pressures from the church in contradiction to the word of God. 1. Any pastor who does this should repent now or step down from the pulpit. Pastors are to stand upon and for God’s word, no matter what the obstacles or the cost. 12. Pastors who fail to equip their congregations according to God’s word. 1. Pastors are called to equip the Christian for the work of the ministry in all aspects of life (Eph. 4:11): apologetics, evangelism, missionary work, prayer, service, love, etc. Far too many congregations are not being equipped with even the basics of Christianity and are instead being taught political correctness. 13. Pastors who don’t teach damnation. 1. We are not saying that you must preach fire and brimstone all the time. But the fact is, the gospel that offends no one is not the gospel of the Bible. the truth of the gospel is that people will face damnation. This is part of the Christian message and it should be part of Christian preaching. 1." }, { "question": "Do we deserve to be saved or are we saved by God’s free choice?", "answer": "Christians who want merely to be entertained and comforted from the pulpit are still children. They should be challenged to grow and take risks. 1. Denominations that either adopt evolutionary principles or refuse to take a stand on evolution. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,” (Rom. 1:16)." } ]

[ { "question": "what do you use as a carry on, personal item, etc.)?", "answer": "It took awhile to create a system that worked well for me. Before, I had a carry on suitcase and a large tote. I often found the large tote to get cluttered and full of random stuff (ehem, candy wrappers and tangled headphones). On my last couple of trips, I've switched to a medium size purse (usually my Loeffler Randall bag) and a weekender bag (that is kept organized). And I check a suitcase as well. I've found this much more orderly and space efficient. When having a large bag it's easy to fill it up with junk but when you change your bags, it forces you to cut down on the stuff you are lugging around. I have been working on this one myself but my biggest tips are to pack neutral basics that you feel 100% comfortable in and then mix in unique pieces." }, { "question": "How to stay organized once I get to my location?", "answer": "Depending on how long you are there, try to go ahead and unpack your bag.

Look into any day trips you want to take or any specific things you want to see. I wouldn't over obsess about preparing because it's great to be surprised and explore once you are there." }, { "question": "I don't want to do \"touristy\" things on my trip, how do I see the city/town/island without being a tourist?", "answer": "Similar to the question above, look into your location and spend some time finding unique places to visit.

I personally love going on spontaneous trips around the area I am in or being a \"local\" in a city." } ]

[ { "question": "Do I need to bring chairs or rugs?", "answer": "Yes, as no seating is provided except at indoor venues (check when booking). Please bring chairs or rugs. Rugs/blankets will be placed at the front with chairs sat behind. This is an outdoor event and performances go ahead in rain or shine so do come prepared. However, we may have to abandon the performance for health and safety reasons during thunder and lightning or torrential rain. See Changeling’s cancellation policy below. The decision to cancel a performance due to inclement weather will not usually be taken until 30 minutes before curtain up, therefore, patrons should attend the venue. If a performance is cancelled for any reason before the show begins, refunds will be offered from the point of sale or tickets will be exchanged for forthcoming performances at certain venues. If a performance is abandoned once it has begun, refunds will not be offered but Changeling may offer exchange tickets at certain venues." } ]

[ { "question": "What's the difference between land-based and online casinos?", "answer": "Apart from the obvious difference of location and convenience, there really is no difference between the games in land-based and online casinos. Computer technology simulates the land-based gambling experience so that online versions now include spinning roulette wheels, tumbling dice, and animated characters sitting around card tables. It's all about entertainment, and whether you're playing blackjack at your local casino or at one of the dozens of UK online gambling casinos, you're in for a good time." }, { "question": "Is it legal to gamble online in the UK?", "answer": "Under current British law, gambling in both land-based, online casinos and gambling websites is legal. In fact, recent changes to the law have actually further relaxed UK gambling restrictions including permitting anyone to gamble in land-based casinos even if they are not private members of those establishments." }, { "question": "Are there age restrictions on gambling in the UK?", "answer": "As regulations exist at the moment, any adult over the age of 18 can enter an online casino or gambling website and play the games as a guest or as a real money player." } ]

[ { "question": "Why choose frozen donor eggs?", "answer": "Success rates using frozen eggs have improved significantly over the years through improved egg freezing techniques. The high success rates combined with the convenience makes frozen eggs an attractive option for many intended parents. Using frozen eggs eliminates many of the potential setbacks that can come up during fresh cycles. You never have to worry about your donor backing out, your cycle getting cancelled if your donor doesn't respond as expected to cycle medications, producing fewer eggs than anticipated, unanticipated travel expenses, etc. When you use frozen eggs you don't have to worry about synchronizing cycles or running into potential scheduling or logistical conflicts with your donor. The frozen eggs that you purchase can be shipped directly to the clinic of your choice and are ready for immediate use when you decide to undergo a cycle." }, { "question": "What is the quality of your frozen eggs?", "answer": "Keep in mind that these are eggs and not embryos. Embryo quality can only be determined after fertilization. Whether you are using fresh, frozen, own egg or donor egg, the quality of the embryos can vary and you can get embryos of varying grades from the same batch of eggs. There is no way to predict the embryo quality by the appearance of the donor eggs. We freeze only mature eggs to increase your chances of successful fertilization." }, { "question": "Is the batch of eggs from the same donor?", "answer": "Yes, each batch of eggs is from the same donor. Depending on the number of eggs she produced, we divide them into multiple batches. Frozen eggs are purchased in batches of 5-7 or greater to improve the likelihood of having a good embryo to transfer. If additional batches are available from the donor you select, you have the option to purchase more than one batch. If a donor has had more than one retrieval with us you may see multiple batches with different retrieval dates." }, { "question": "How do you screen your donors?", "answer": "Our selection process is rigorous and very few of our donor applicants make it to retrieval. When we initially screen our donors we look for healthy, well rounded young women who seem altruistically motivated to donate. We follow all ASRM and FDA guidelines during the screening process. Our donors have baseline screening to assess ovarian reserve, genetic screening and receive a psychological clearance from a clinical psychologist before being approved to move forward. This is a very personal choice for every intended parent. Full profiles are viewable through www.eggdonoramerica.com when you register as an intended parent. You can view information about the donor's health, family history, ethnic and educational background. We do not edit or alter the donor's personal responses at all so that you get a sense of their personality. Most donors have provided adult and childhood photos." }, { "question": "What if I would like additional information about my donor?", "answer": "We ask all of our donors to keep their contact information current with us so that we can reach out to them in the future if questions arise. We are happy to make a good faith attempt to contact the donor if you have specific questions that were not answered in her profile, however, keep in mind that some donors may have donated quite some time ago and may no longer be available." }, { "question": "How quickly can I move forward?", "answer": "Once you have selected and purchased your eggs, we can move forward almost immediately. We will coordinate the transport of the eggs between Washington Fertility Center in Annandale, Virginia and the clinic of your choice. We will work closely with the laboratory staff at both clinics to ensure that your eggs are safely delivered. You will work with your reproductive endocrinologist and IVF coordinator to ensure that your own screening is complete and to discuss fertilization of the eggs. They will work with you to come up with a cycle calendar for your embryo transfer." }, { "question": "How much do frozen eggs cost?", "answer": "The purchase price for a batch of 5-7 eggs is $14,900. There is an additional fee of $5,000 per batch for a Premium Donor (Donor of Rare Ethnic Ancestry). We are proud to offer free shipping. If you choose to travel to Washington Fertility Center for your embryo transfer, there is a $5,900 fee for egg warming, ICSI, embryo culture and embryo transfer. If you are having the eggs shipped to another fertility clinic, please refer to your clinic for pricing for medication and cycle related treatment expenses. If you have not shipped the eggs to your clinic within 30 days of purchase, Washington Fertility Center does charge a $600 annual storage fee until the eggs are shipped. Yes. If your fertility clinic has been approved, we offer a guarantee of one good embryo to transfer if you purchase a batch of at 5-7 frozen eggs. If your batch fails to yield at least one good embryo, you will be provided with a replacement batch from either the same donor or a donor of your choice at no additional cost. Actual success rates will vary greatly from clinic to clinic. We carefully screen our donors and use evidence-based protocols to ensure the highest quality eggs possible. There are many factors at play such as skill of the embryology staff, male factor, uterine factor, protocols used, etc. It is very helpful to receive feedback from your fertility practice about thaw rates, fertilization rates and pregnancy data so that we can continue to make changes to improve outcomes for our intended parents." } ]

[ { "question": "What are the characteristics of organic pasta from Alce Nero?", "answer": "It is 100% organic Italian wheat grown in Italy with 100% raw material used. Milling and manufacturing so as not to destroy the tissue of the wheat makes the flavour and nutritional value of wheat live pasta." }, { "question": "A small hole in the bag of pasta is open, is there any problem?", "answer": "This is an air vent hole drilled to prevent the bag from bursting, so there is no problem. It also has better ventilation and always has the advantage that the environmnet inside the bag can be kept constant. In pasta and rice, in Italy it is generally preferred to have a firm texture such that a slight core remains in the center when you eat it. Al dente is such a crisp texture." }, { "question": "What is the character of Organic Olive Oil from Alce Nero?", "answer": "Harvest hand picked olives grown in Southern Italy carefully. It is the most squeezed olive oil carefully with cold press (less than 27 degrees) within 24 hours after harvest. If the temperature is adjusted at 27 degrees Celcius or less in the process of oil extraction, you can sing a cold press. Although it is easier to press oil when heated, the flavor and aroma of the oil will be impaired. Olive oil oiled with cold press is laborious and produces rich flavor instead of less yield." }, { "question": "There is a floating item, is it okay?", "answer": "This Apple Vinegar is an organic product, it does not sterilize the vinegar itself, it does not ocntain sulfur dioxide (In the filling process line the steam sterilization of the bottle is done). This is to make the most of the efficacy and benefits of acetic acid bacteria become active, vinegar fermentation progresses, the color may become darker. However, the quality of the product will not change as the activity if acetic acid bacteria becomes active. Although sometimes suspended sediments may be seen, this is also derived from acetic acid bacteria, whcich does not affect quality." }, { "question": "Is Alce Nero Organic Apple Cider Halal?", "answer": "Yes, Alce Nero Organic Apple Cider is certified Halal by the Halal Food Council of Europe." }, { "question": "How long do you keep pasta sauce after openening it?", "answer": "Although it can be kept at room temperature before opening, once it is opened it is a product that is susceptible to degeneration and mold irrespective of the expiration date, so take as soon as possible.

[ { "question": "Elder Lawyer Weber County: What are some Alternatives to Nursing Homes?", "answer": "One question the attorneys at our Utah elder care law firm encounter very often is if there are alternatives to nursing homes. Maybe you have a parent that’s getting older and you don’t know what you should do. Maybe they can still take care of themselves or maybe they are losing some of those abilities. Well, the most common thing that everyone thinks of is sending them to a nursing home. But not many people want to end up in a nursing home." }, { "question": "So what other options do you have?", "answer": "Well you actually have quite a few. Our elder care law attorneys can help you decide what alternative is right for you. The first option is to stay with family. If someone in the family is capable of giving care, this can be a great alternative to a nursing home. Being surrounded by people who love you usually results in great quality care. The second option is home care. This works best for someone that has a little bit more money and doesn’t need around the clock care. If they can do some things for themselves and only need assistance part of the time, or only need someone to check in every now and then this can work out well. This is great for some elderly people because it allows them to stay in their own home and be mostly independent. Lastly, there are retirement homes. These are different from nursing homes because they are for elderly people that can take care of themselves. This only works if the person is capable of getting around and getting through their day completely on their own. Retirement homes have nurses and medical care but they are not always present and they don’t have as immediate of a response as a nursing home. If your family member is starting to get older you’ll first need to think about what they are capable of. If they need some care but you want them to have people around them you could get them into a nursing home. If they need only a little assistance then you could get them a home aid for assistance or even go check on them slightly more often. Last of all you could move them into your own home. Just be sure that if you choose this option, you are ready for the job of being a parent to your parent. If you are looking at your options for elder care, contact one of the lawyers at the ElderCare Law Firm today!" } ]

[ { "question": "What are your suggestions for travel accommodations?", "answer": "Flying: The closest and normally the most affordable airport to fly into is Charlotte (appx. 100 miles away from the retreat center. Shuttle service: From CLT airport, shuttles such as Hickory Hop go to Boone Daily. Driving: There may be attendees driving from cities within driving distance (ie: Atlanta) we suggest carpool and split the driving cost. Or we suggest renting a car and finding other attendees to carpool with. Depending on flight/arrival times, we will help coordinate carpooling to split the cost!

If you do not know anyone going on the retreat we will personally match you with a great roommate." }, { "question": "If I change my mind before the retreat date will I get my money back?", "answer": "Unfortunately, the initial deposit is non-refundable to ensure spots are held for an accurate head count and confirmation of attendance. However, the remaining $450 can be refunded for cancellation due to sickness, job loss, and other related emergencies. Absolutely!" }, { "question": "If you don’t invest in yourself who will?", "answer": "This is a true investment for your health and wellness.

You are not required to do anything your heart does not desire. This is your personal retreat and we want to ensure it’s the experience you want it to be.

Nine Point Energy is committed to being fully transparent with our owners, which includes providing you with a full understanding of what it means to lease with us. A mineral lease is a legally binding agreement between Nine Point Energy, the lessee, and a mineral rights’ owner, the lessor, giving us the right to extract and produce the owner/lessor’s oil or natural gas. Property or land ownership does not necessarily reflect mineral ownership. In many cases, the original owner may have sold the surface rights, but retained the mineral rights. Mineral ownership can be ascertained by conducting a title search at your county clerk and recorders office or the private title abstract company in your area. Nine Point Energy will also conduct a title search to confirm ownership. Nine Point Energy typically provides an initial bonus payment to the owner/lessor. Once a well begins producing, owners may receive recurring royalty payments based on the agreed about royalty percentage in the mineral lease. The lease is generally in effect for the duration of production and work over periods. If you have any questions about leasing, please contact us. A valid Tax Identification Number or Social Security Number must be provided to Nine Point Energy on the W-9 form to properly report earnings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If it is not, the IRS requires withholding of 28% of all payments (30% for foreign residents) until the information is provided. Nine Point Energy mails out owner’s 1099 Miscellaneous Tax forms no later than January 31." } ]
