[ { "question": "Did my zincs fall off?", "answer": "Whenever two metals contact each other in salt water, a current flows between those metals. The electrons that make up the electrical current are taken from one of the metals, causing the metal to corrode. By purposely attaching a metal that is less noble (in this case, a zinc anode) than the metal on parts on your boat, you can protect critical portions of your vessel at the expense of the cheaper zinc. This is why zinc anodes are often called \"sacrificial zincs\". Propellers, shafts, rudders, struts, etc., can be cathodically protected at the expense of zinc plates and anodes." }, { "question": "I hear a lot about aluminum anodes; should I use aluminum anodes or zinc anodes?", "answer": "The answer depends on your application. While aluminum anodes have a greater electrical potential to absorb corrosion (up to 50% more), our hand-poured mil-spec zinc anodes consistently outperform aluminum anodes in salt water . Our zinc anodes dissolve more evenly and completely; while typical aluminum anodes erode unevenly with visible \"craters\". Often times, aluminum anodes will develop soft white or grayish surfaces which tend to prohibit the anode from dissolving completely. *Please note that some engine manufacturers require you to use aluminum anodes if you are still within your warranty period. There's a lot of emphasis on \"hand-poured\" zinc anodes on your website." }, { "question": "How are other zincs made?", "answer": "Hand-poured zinc anodes have a higher degree of porosity due to its molecular composition. The process of die-casting changes the molecular structure, therefore effecting how the anode performs and the rate at which it dissolves. This is important because in hand-poured zinc anodes, size for size, there is a greater area exposed to corrosion than die cast zinc anodes. It is also shown that the hot chamber die-casting method has a greater chance of picking up impurities during the manufacturing process, again, effecting the way your anodes perform. Impurities can cause a layer of insulation-like material to build up on the outside of the anode causing it to perform poorly or not at all. Other signs include uneven erosion or flaking. We not only use mil-spec zinc alloy to make our anodes, our finished product is mil-spec and we have the lab reports to prove it, not every manufacturer can make that claim! (copy of lab testing available upon request)." }, { "question": "How often should you change your anodes?", "answer": "Generally speaking you should replace your anodes when they appear to be half their original size. A season is considered 6 months. Now, there are many factors that determine how long you anodes will last. If you use the boat longer or if you stay in the water year-round, you will have to change your anodes mid-season. If you dock near a steel bulkhead or near a vessel that has an electrical issue the anodes will also dissolve quicker. Water temperature and salinity also have an effect on the rate at which anodes dissolve. With all these factors that are not within your control you should always start out with the best quality anodes with a proven record of extended life under \"normal\" circumstances, so insist on using B&S Marine anodes every time. Sometimes, mid-season my zincs are gone." }, { "question": "Did they fall off?", "answer": "As far as \"missing zincs\" midseason, often times our customers tell us there was nothing left but the bolts. That's a good thing, because the anodes are doing their job. Unfortunately, you may need to check your anodes more often if they are dissolving before your boating season ends to make sure your boat is protected all season." } ]

We can issue a replacement number at the welcome desk when you arrive and there's no need for you to contact us to let us know." }, { "question": "Will I receive a fundraising pack?", "answer": "The second pack will follow by the Wednesday before event day and will contain your runner number and donation envelope.

If you sign up less than 11 days before your event, then you will need to collect your running number from the registration desk on the day. There isn't one.

We will then send out a thank you letter and certificate in the post for your total raise 6 weeks after the event date. I have an online fundraising page.

[ { "question": "How is that determined?", "answer": "For 2012-13, it seems unlikely. Read this letter from the Governor. Each year, the State Personnel Director (Executive Director of the Department of Personnel andAdministration) is required by law to issue a letter by August 1 of each year regarding recommendations and estimated costs for changes in pay and/or benefits for the upcoming fiscal year. The Long Bill (SB11-209) was signed by Governor Hickenlooper on May 6th and funds appropriated by the General Assembly do not include annual salary adjustments. For the third consecutive year there will be no funding for base or non-base achievement pay, which includes occupational group structure adjustments and employee pay increases for market or performance. 2." }, { "question": "What is happening with Colorado PERA?", "answer": "The Governor is recommending that the PERA offset be reverted beginning with the fiscal year change to the previous funding method–employees contribute 8% as opposed to the 10.5% employees have contributed for the past two fiscal years. Senate Bill 11-076 was signed by the Governor on May 23, 2011, creating an additional one-year temporary change to PERA contribution levels from employees and the State. The law reduces the State’s retirement contribution by 2.5 percent but offsets that by increasing the employee contribution by 2.5 percent. The change applies to all state employees. This change protects employees’ base pay and requires no change to the compensation plan. However, it will have the effect of reducing state employees’ take home pay by approximately 2.5 percent for fiscal year 2011-12. This temporary modification to PERA contribution levels will begin July 1, 2011, and end June 30, 2012. The Act, which contains a chart of contribution rates, can be found at the Colorado General Assembly’s website (http://www.leg.state.co.us) within the 2011 session Senate bills section. 3." }, { "question": "What is an employee’s real compensation?", "answer": "All of these employer contributions to benefits add up to a significant investment in employees. They are just one important piece of the total compensation package earned by employees – which includes not just benefits and pay, but other components such as paid time off (annual, holiday, sick), and retirement contributions. Your employees can find out the value of the State’s investment in them by using the “My Total Compensation Statement.” This is an easy-to-use summary of all components of total compensation. An employee only needs a copy of the most recent pay advice and the statement will take him or her through the various parts of the employee’s compensation, step-by-step. None of the information entered is recorded or seen by anyone else, however employees may print a copy for their records. This is a valuable tool for the employees’ benefit. 4." }, { "question": "Can I transfer into an exempt position?", "answer": "Just like exempt employees cannot transfer but must apply and compete for any open classified position, classified staff cannot transfer but must apply to any open exempt position. 5." }, { "question": "Can I have my position exempted from the classified system?", "answer": "6. I am an Administrative Assistant in the Classified System and there are Administrative Assistants that are exempt." }, { "question": "How can that be?", "answer": "Administrative Assistant positions that are exempt are usually because they are paid through a grant and therefore not permanently funded positions. The College has to reapply for those funds in order to keep the position. They may also report to a Director and that qualifies as an exemption. 7. I have heard that some colleges are getting out of the Classified System." }, { "question": "Will Fort Lewis College consider that as an option?", "answer": "Not true. Colorado Mesa University was exploring removing their classified employees from the state system, but ultimately that was never accomplished. New state rules do allow for broader exemptions from the classified system on a case by case basis. Fort Lewis will consider the use of these exemptions when vacancies arise and if it makes sense. However, these new rules do not allow for removing any current classified staff from a classified position. 8." }, { "question": "Is Fort Lewis College looking at other ways to compensate Classified employees since they cannot give raises?", "answer": "Yes. Fort Lewis is concerned for its employees and continues to search for meaningful ways to compensate them. Of course, there are always pros and cons to different options, and the difficulty is in finding ways that are allowed within the state system, and that still meet the demands of a competitive work environment." } ]

[ { "question": "So who are the top employers for graduates with the degree?", "answer": "Here are just a few to get you started on the road of your career. If the corporate track appeals to you, an MBA in Counseling is a great way to get your foot in the door, and to get experience solving problems for other workers. Many large companies need people to consult with employees to rectify problems and to make sure that employees are feeling good about their work. Hospitals aren’t just about healing, they’re also in need of strong management skills to run, and they’re full of patients who need advice and assurance when they’re going through a difficult time — and even after they’ve recovered, and are trying to find the path back to living the healthiest life they can, the value of a counselor in their lives will be high. Hospitals are also great places to help others when counseling can do most to improve their lives, because often people are at their most vulnerable when they are healing, or preparing to heal. If you have a passion for making sure others can develop the strength to make their lives great, a hospital may be the environment for you — especially if you’re up for the challenges and rewards that this high-pressure environment can provide. Counseling children, for many people with a degree in the field, is one of the most satisfying aspects of their training — and the job pays well, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Children are often at an age when they cannot fully understand their surroundings — and they also can react to help by going on to lead successful lives. Being the link in that process can be one of the most rewarding aspects of a career, and it’s one that has many counselors finding the area of life they most want to contribute to. In the social service sector, you can do a lot of good by counseling others on their problems. Whether it is a recent widow who is unsure how to collect social security, or the head of a family trying to find the right housing, the opportunity to improve the lives of others is there — and for many people, makes their job something that is a deep part of who they are. So if you’re considering the great path of an MBA in Counseling, know that the opportunities are there — and with the right goals and a positive attitude, the ability to problem-solve and communicate with others in an extremely effective manner will help you to improve the lives of people around you. For many people, this is the kind of quality that they not only find makes their career worth it, but which makes them feel like they can really make a difference. And who knows, you may just find the chance to give back to society in a profound and moving way." } ]

You can also use the constructor public InternetAddress(java.lang.String address, java.lang.String personal) that allows you to pass the address and personal information separately.

[ { "question": "Can the cosine corrector be used as part of a spectroradiometrically calibrated system?", "answer": "Yes. Direct-attach cosine correctors can be calibrated for absolute irradiance measurements at Ocean Optics. However, disconnecting the cosine corrector after calibration will invalidate the calibration. Even if the cosine corrector is carefully reconnected, the exact light coupling won’t be replicated. Any changes to the optics or connections require a full system recalibration." } ]

[ { "question": "Where does all the furniture for sale come from?", "answer": "A: While there are fewer pieces for sale now than when we first opened, Kelsey and Cindy have a passion for find.ing and rehabbing old furniture that were put on the retail floor for sale. With limited time to forage, find, and refurbish these days, we’ve sold through most of our stock, leaving a few pieces left. More important than sales though, we feel strongly about our store aesthetics celebrating found. and repurposed furniture to compliment our space and our eclectic story. 2. Where do you get all the tropical plants that are around Found." }, { "question": "Where do you get all your food from?", "answer": "A: We make/bake/cook all the food in Found.

Consistently though, we use: organic butter, sugar, flour, peanut butter, eggs, chicken breast, and milk. 2) In the store, we have a keen eye on buying nonfood items that use organic materials, as well. 5." }, { "question": "What is Retreat Farm?", "answer": "A: It’s the farm where we grew up.

You can also bring them back and fill them up with our bulk shortbread for a $1 off. 7." }, { "question": "Are any of the shortbread gluten free?", "answer": "A: No, due to the simplicity of shortbread, an alternative flour would change the consistency too much and they’d crumble." } ]

[ { "question": "Well, clearly they're fans of keeping things short and to the point... what other pages are there?", "answer": "Here's the contact page. No links about copyright claims or even a terms of service or help or FAQ page. Clearly these people don't want to be responsible for their actions. As you can see top right, there are literally only 4 options, none of which offer any help. Realizing that the offending site is a dead end, I go to the whois.net database and see if I can get information on who actually owns this site. This is what I find. OK, fantastic, here is a place I can submit a complaint. So I do... and wait for a response. In the mean time, I also click through to see if the files for the mp3s are being hosted on a different site. I find that azsong.net offers three illegal sources for our music. I try all 3 sources and find that each is a different website which essentially converts the audio from YouTube videos into an mp3, so that is where they are sourcing our music. Here is a screen shot of the 3rd source, video2mp3. So now I have to weed through THEIR terms of service to see what they have to say about copyright infringement." }, { "question": "Don't we all just click \"agree\" without reading it because reading it actually kills brain cells?", "answer": "I can't prove that, but I'm pretty sure it's true. Anyway, at the peril of losing precious brain cells, I read their TOS. Fortunately I only need to get to item 8 to find what I need. Look at point 2 under number 8. So, they claim to care about their site being used for illegal purposes, which is good. This qualifies. I send them an email telling them that azsong.net is referring their customers to this site for illegal downloads of our music, and I inquire about whether we can put our videos on an \"off limits\" status. I have yet to hear back from this company. Fortunately, cloudflare wrote me back within a couple of hours and gave me the info of the hosting provider for azsong.net and the email address to report abuse. So, I'm not sure what other action cloudflare is going to take to stop what is happening. I think this IS the action they will take. For good measure, I personally send an abuse notice to the hosting provider. At this point, I'd used about 90 minutes of my precious time for this. Let's notice that there are six different websites involved at this point. First is the offending site, azsong.net. Then is the 3 different sites which convert the music from the youtube videos to mp3s. Then is the cloudflare site, who has azsong.net as a client. Then is the linode.com site who is the hosting provider for azsong.net. It can get a little confusing as to where in the stages of this transaction the law gets broken, and which site is responsible for that. This was relatively straightforward this time, back in the 00's, we had to physically print out something on our letterhead with all of the proof that we owned the legal rights and the exact url of the offense, and then FAX it to the company. Each and every time. At least now we can stay digital and not burn through the stationery. I'm not sure what the results will be yet. I will wait to see if the video2mp3 site responds to my report. I won't have succeeded until all links to my music are removed from azsong.net. But quite honestly, I have a LOT of other more important things to do, so I'm not sure how much more time I'm willing to spend on this. In closing, however, I want to officially say that I fully realize what a tiny problem this is in comparison to so much else that goes on in the world. I have clean water coming out of my faucets, a safe bed to sleep in, a healthy child, a full tummy, and work that I enjoy. I am blessed." } ]

Your wedding look must be flawless all day long from when it is applied, to when you finally reach your hotel room at the end of the night. This can be up to 12-15 hours. You don't want your hair falling out of place or your makeup fading! On top of this, your makeup must be camera friendly, typically for both indoor and outdoor photographs, as well as taking into account the time of day as this will affect how you appear in your photographs. At Jellis Beauty, we can tailor a look to suit what ever your style is, whilst still ensuring that look will be camera friendly, long lasting and flawless." }, { "question": "What can you expect when you book us for your wedding?", "answer": "Our team at Jellis Beauty pride ourselves in our work, and we offer you a premium service where you feel pampered and relaxed. Today is all about you; We are efficient, but we will not rush through your makeup, and our attention to detail on every aspect of your makeup application will guarantee you will look your most beautiful for your special day. We completely understand colour theory and how to best enhance your features whilst still ensuring you feel like \"you\". All team members went through a rigorous process to be accepted onto our team and have the highest standards of application and hygiene. Did you know bad hygiene has left people with infections, pink eye and worse still - paralysed! We hold with great honour, your trust in us and have very strict standards of hygiene for all our services. We are friendly and personable. Wedding days can be a lot of work for hair stylists and makeup artists as there are typical 5+ people to get ready. We LOVE what we do, so the time flies for us. You won't hear us complaining, or requesting breaks. We are there for you, and we do it with a smile because we genuinely love our work, and we know that it is thanks to our gorgeous brides that our career is so amazing. We will always go above and beyond for you. Our passion is service. This means we are friendly, professional and passionate about giving you the best experience possible as we know how important your wedding is to you. Your wedding day look is very important, but even more so - is the way you are treated! Yes our rates are very competitive. We know that our knowledge of beauty, and the wedding industry sets us apart from the rest. But we still keep our rates in line with the competition. As with any profession, there are industry leaders, and there are people fresh out of college with the absolute best intentions, but lack the experience. We are the industry leaders, priding ourselves on our service skills, our work ethic, our passion and our skills. We take our job very seriously, and we genuinely care about how happy you are with your wedding look, because this is a day that is going to be in your heart and memories forever. It is not a decision to make lightly. A Professional Makeup Artist needs to be aware of many things to get your look “just right”. The time of day, the lighting, where the photos are being taken (inside, outside or both), your personal style and personality, you features, colouring, bone structure, & skin type. A Professional Hair Stylist needs to make sure the style suits your face shape and that it will last the entire day/night. We all hear horror stories of fake tans looking orange, and your nails are an extremely important factor that is often overlooked - but remember - every single guest is going to request to view your rings! You want to be confident your nails look their best! We will book in a time with you to go through all the details of your wedding, as well as a makeup and a hair styling preview. We will gain an understanding of your style and personality and will tailor a look to suit you. You are encouraged to research types of looks that spark your interest, and bring these images along to the preview. We will then provide suggestions to work with your desired look, and ensure your specific features are enhanced. We will analyze your skin and provide you recommendations to have your skin looking its best for your wedding. We will apply a trial application to make sure we are 100% on the same page for your special day. We will photograph the look you agree on and will send this to you, so you will have an idea of how you will look in your photographs. Makeup Appointments: Please arrive at your preview consultation with your everyday makeup. We do not expect you to arrive without any makeup unless that is your typical look. We will remove your makeup and apply your bridal makeup during our session. Hair Appointments: Please arrive with one day old hair. Hair that has been freshly washed the same day is very soft and does not style as well. Similarly hair that hasn't been washed for days also does not style well. This is why we recommend washing the day/night before our booking. You are encouraged to bring photos of your dress, the flowers and venue. The style of the dress as well as the material is a consideration when applying your makeup, as is the type of flowers and their colour. Essentially, the more information you can provide us, the more cohesive your look will be with your entire wedding style. Previews are held in our studio in Leda. You may request us to come to you, and there will be a call out fee if we are to leave our studio. Please be sure to advise us with enough time in advance if you would prefer us to come to you, as we will need to also factor travel time into our schedule. Remember: this is our time to design your perfect look for your wedding day. Other events such as hen’s nights, engagement shoots and bridal showers will have so many different factors including different lighting, different venue, different style, different outfit etc, so wht we carefully design for your wedding day won’t be the best look for other occasions. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to book a separate appointment for ay other events you have leading up to your wedding day. This way you can be sure to get the perfect look for the event you’re attending. Of course, leading up to your big day, you will have many wedding related events that you will be attending, such as your engagement photo shoot, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, and bridal shower. Be sure to ask us about designing a package to include makeup/hair services for these events also, as you will receive a special discount when taking advantage of a package deal to add these additional services." }, { "question": "Have you heard of a \"Trash the Dress\" photo shoot?", "answer": "These are so much fun and a great way to wear your dress after your big day.

You'll see the top-up added to your pay statement at the end of the week. Good work! Since the guarantee acts as a minimum, you'll get to keep the fares you earned less Uber's Service Fee. Just make sure you meet all of the requirements, like trips per hour or acceptance rate. Trips per hour (TPH) is calculated by taking your total number of completed trips in a given incentive period divided by the total number of hours that you were online during that same incentive period. Your acceptance rate is calculated by taking the total number of trip requests that you accepted during the incentive period divided by the total number of trip requests that were sent to you during that same incentive period. Completion rate is calculated by taking your total number of completed trips in a given incentive period divided by the total number of trip requests that you received in the given incentive period. Qualification parameters reset at the beginning of each new incentive period. Guaranteed amounts are average hourly gross fares, based on hours online per incentive period, and include the Uber Service Fee. Booking Fee and tolls are not included in the guaranteed amount.

[ { "question": "Why the kit doesn't contain loop in the standard packaging?", "answer": "The kit doesn't contain bateriological loops because that material is very commonly used in labs. In general labs can obtain competitive prices on the plastic disposable by buying them directly to their plastic disposables distributor. Coris can supply the kit containing loop upon specific request; however, it's important to take in account of additional cost related to the plastic material, administration and shipment. In the notice, the instructions of use stipulate to dispense 3 drops of diluted sample delivered by the collection tube with dropper provided with the kit. However, if you put only 2 drops of diluted samples in tube, the conjugate may not be released completely from the pad where it is dried, and the reduced liquid volume does not allow a correct and complete migration on the strip in the cassette.

[ { "question": "Am I able to have driving lessons in my own/family or friends car?", "answer": "Under certain circumstances, customers may want to receive lessons in their own/family vehicle. This is a good idea where the car will be used for a Driver’s Test. It is also a good idea when a learner has a new car and wishes to familiarise themselves with it prior to licensing. Countrywide Driving School is able to offer customers training in their vehicle, provided the vehicle is registered, roadworthy and comprehensively insured." }, { "question": "Are automatic cars easier to drive?", "answer": "Some people find that automatic cars are easier to drive as they don’t have a clutch pedal to operate, consequently you should be able to obtain your license quicker. Some people get their licence in an automatic, build up their confidence and then later sit for a manual test. It is also common for a novice driver to commence their tuition in an automatic vehicle until they are relatively confident and safe on the roads and then swap over to manual before sitting for their practical test. When you are ready, your Countrywide Driving Instructor will arrange your test for you on payment of the Queensland Transport Booking Fee. Alternatively you can call our Central Booking Office, provide us with your learners permit number and payment details and we will arrange your driving test. You can book a test directly with Queensland Transport, however there is no guarantee that your specific Instructor is available at that time. This depends on the individual, as every student has different abilities, needs, levels of experience and different opportunities to practice.

However you need to be aware that once you have completed your first 10 lessons, a driving lesson with a driving instructor then counts as one lesson for one hour of practice driving for your Log Book. A lot of students find doing the entire 100 hours with their parents or another allocated driver is a really big project. Logging 30 hours with a driving instructor is a great help for most parents." }, { "question": "Should I learn to drive in an automatic or manual car?", "answer": "The decision to learn in an automatic transmission or a manual car depends upon many factors including personal choice, skill level, confidence and the cars you are able to practice in. It is important to be aware however, that in Queensland if you gain your licence in an automatic car; you are not permitted to drive a manual until you successfully pass a practical test with Queensland Transport, in a manual vehicle." }, { "question": "What are the consequences of a learner driver being involved in an accident during a driving lesson?", "answer": "Generally, where the learner has followed all instructions of the driving instructor there will be no liability. Where the learner has ignored instructions and in so doing has caused an accident to occur, the learner driver will be liable for any insurance excess payable. Insurance excess for learner drivers is between $600 and $1,000 per accident but may vary between vehicles. If the accident is caused by another driver then there is no liability for the learner driver." }, { "question": "What are the hours I can take training?", "answer": "We offer long and varied hours for training and we have highly qualified trainers are available to teach you from 7.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Sunday." }, { "question": "What experience does Countrywide Driving School have in teaching people how to drive?", "answer": "Countrywide Driving School is part of Driver Training Systems Pty Ltd which collectively with Rightway Driving (Gold Coast) and Coastwide Driving (North Brisbane to Noosa) is the largest RACQ Approved Driving School in QLD.

This may also include commentary driving to work on hazard perception skills." }, { "question": "What insurance and standards do you have to ensure the safety of my child in case of an accident?", "answer": "Our instructors are members of the ADTA and hold current Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance. All cars are comprehensively insured with reputable insurance companies." }, { "question": "What is my liability for an accident occuring during a Practical Driving Test when using a driving school vehicle without my Instructor is not in the vehicle?", "answer": "If you use our vehicle for a practical driving test with a Government Licence Examiner based test and the Instructor is not present in the vehicle during the practical driving test, or if the Instructor is present and you fail to follow the directions given by the Instructor during the lesson, you will be responsible for the lower of the cost of repairs relating to damage caused or the insurance excess applicable, should the vehicle be damaged for whatever reason." }, { "question": "What must I do when I obtain my learners permit?", "answer": "Once you have completed your learners test and obtained your learners licence, ‘L’ Plates must be displayed on the front and rear of the car you are driving. You must have your Learners Permit with you every time you drive in case you are asked to provide identification by a police officer. You must not drink and drive as a zero blood alcohol limit applies to all learners and finally you must have a licensed driver sitting beside you at all times." }, { "question": "What role should a parent / experienced driver play?", "answer": "In our opinion learning to drive should be a partnership between the learner, driving instructor and experienced drivers from friends or family. The more practice a learner driver can have then the safer they will become when it is time to go “solo”. Many parents send their children to us first to teach the student the basics prior to commencing the practice with the family. Driving practice is vital and the recommendation is that a new driver has 120 hours “experience” prior to sitting for their practical driving test. We are amongst the leaders in the number of Keys2Drive lessons delivered. That's no accident as we are passionate about the Government Funded program and encourage our customers and instructors to undertake it.

Or you can click hereto go online book your driving lesson now." }, { "question": "Why do I need to practice my driving?", "answer": "Driving involves combining theory with physical skills and judgement. Practice is essential and the more practice you have, the less number of professional driving lessons you may require to be at the standard required to pass the test. Practice is vital and the requirement is that a new driver has 100 hours of log book experience prior to sitting for their practical driving test. Very satisfying the instructions given were very helpful." } ]

Please call our office to provide your credit card information to one of our Billing Specialists." }, { "question": "Am I responsible for paying them?", "answer": "A deductible is a fixed dollar amount that you pay on a yearly basis before your carrier begins to cover medical expenses. Co-insurance, normally expressed as a percentage, is a sharing of medical costs between the carrier and the insured.

[ { "question": "How did CDOT identify this as a proposed action?", "answer": "The PEL study process provided a year of very important work on the corridor that allowed CDOT to focus on this project and move it forward. As part of that PEL process, CDOT identified the safety, mobility and trip reliability problems in the Gap segment. CDOT also evaluated over 100 separate alternatives to mitigate these problems. In addition, CDOT did detailed engineering survey work, advanced environmental data collection, prepared detailed traffic counts and travel demand models, and coordinated closely with impacted stakeholders, resource agencies and local governments along the corridor." }, { "question": "Is CDOT considering adding tolls on the additional travel lanes?", "answer": "They can ride the two general purpose lanes for free. They can take the Express Lane to reach their destination faster in exchange for paying a toll. They can carpool (vehicles with three or more people) on the Express Lane for free. Toll revenues will go back into the corridor, improving travel for all who use I-25. CDOT is examining tolled Express Lanes as they look at how to achieve mobility improvements in every major corridor. Also, Express Lanes have flexible versions of implementation such as shoulder lanes only open during peak hours—new lanes that also carry bus rapid transit or HOV. With Express Lanes, CDOT can customize per the conditions in a particular corridor." }, { "question": "What is the benefit of tolled Express Lanes?", "answer": "Major travel corridors will not improve over the long term by adding lanes. With continuous population growth and development, simply adding lanes is not a feasible solution. We know traffic will soon outgrow the additional lanes and the result will be gridlock with poor travel reliability. Tolled Express Lanes not only improve general purpose lanes but also allow CDOT to manage the rate of traffic so a reliable trip can be guaranteed in exchange for paying a toll. Tolled Express Lanes allow CDOT to maximize capacity, manage traffic flow and provide travel choices." }, { "question": "What is happening with the I-25 PEL Study for the overall corridor?", "answer": "CDOT is still planning to complete a PEL study for the entire 34-mile corridor of I-25 from Monument to C-470. However, that schedule was extended so CDOT could focus attention on completing the environmental assessment and design, required to begin constructing the 18-mile Gap segment in summer 2018. CDOT will resume work on the PEL study in summer 2018, with a goal to complete this effort by early 2019. In addition to this website, CDOT held a series of small, information listening sessions in El Paso County from late January to mid-February 2018 and more were held for Douglas County. Telephone town halls were held on Feb. 21 in El Paso County and Feb. 22 in for Douglas County." } ]

[ { "question": "How can I prevent that?", "answer": "Q: I would like to print some characters in the barcode, but do not wish to show them in text below." }, { "question": "How can I do that?", "answer": "Q: Blank barcodes are printed... When pasted into Word, blank file is pasted. Q: I have installed the full version, but it still shows DEMO on barcodes." }, { "question": "Q: How do I Uninstall?", "answer": "A: No, BarCodeWiz ActiveX is all you need to print barcodes. We include a stand-alone barcode generator, but you can also print barcodes from within your favorite programs, such as MS Access, Excel, Word, or others. A: No, BarCodeWiz ActiveX does not use barcode fonts in any way, which is why it is so flexible. Instead, barcodes are created and printed as images. A: You will be able to download the program immediately after purchase. The download details will be displayed on the confirmation page and your e-mail. A: No, there is no time limit. The only difference between the trial and the full version is the word \"DEMO\" displayed on barcodes. You may use the trial version only to test the software. Your scanner does not support the symbology (barcode type) used, or it is not enabled. For example, many scanners have Code 128 disabled by default. See your scanner manual for instructions on changing the settings. The barcode printed is too small. Increase the NarrowBarWidth property of the barcode to make the barcode wider. The contrast between foreground and background colors is too low. For best performance, print black on white. A: Most scanners are keyboard-wedge scanners, which means they plug directly into the keyboard port on your computer. When you scan a barcode, the barcode text is transmitted, and is usually terminated with a special character, such as Carriage Return. The computer makes no distinction between the scanner and the keyboard. Capturing barcode data is as simple as having focus in a text box, and checking for a key down event. When Carriage Return is encountered, the scan is finished. See our MS Access demo for a working example. A: In symbologies which support special characters (such as Code 128), you can enter any of the ASCII 128 decimal values by prefixing them with the caret (^), for example: ^009 will produce a tab character. A: Any Windows printer will work, although we recommended a laser printer with DPI of 300 or higher. If the DPI of your printer is lower, you may need to make barcodes larger to compensate for lower resolution. A: Make sure the property OptionalCheckChar is set to No_Check_Char (this is the default). If that does not help, then check your scanner settings. Most scanners can be configured to transmit the check digit/character along with the barcode text. A: Set BarcodeTextPosition to No_Text (0) and use the BottomText property instead. This will hide the barcode text and essentially replace it with anyting else you wish to print. Please note that control characters (such as tab or line feed) do not show as barcode text. A: There may be several reasons for this, but this is usually fixed by re-installing the program and rebooting the computer. Also, make sure you have the latest version installed. Q: There are 5 users printing barcodes on one machine." }, { "question": "Can I upgrade to the Developer License, and how much does it cost?", "answer": "A: If you purchase a single Developer License, your client will not need to purchase any User Licenses (no matter how many users), as long as barcodewiz ActiveX is only used within your application. On the other hand, if your client will be the only user of your program, then two Single User Licenses (one for you and one for your client) will be enough. A: No. You may distribute the file barcodewiz.dll along with your application to an unlimited number of users at no extra charge. However, the ActiveX may not be used in design mode on your client's machine. It may only be used within your application, and your application must add significant features to what is offered by BarCodeWiz ActiveX. A: We offer upgrades for only the difference in price within 30 days of your purchase. After 30 days, we offer a 50% discount off the price you have already paid." } ]

[ { "question": "Can I use these access numbers to make cheap calls to Martinique from a UK landline?", "answer": "Yes, Call Rates Scanner is optimised to compare best call rates from UK landline to world destinations. Please note that the total charge, for the call to Martinique, is a composite of access charge (levied by your landline provider) and service charge (presented in comparison tales on pages of this site). See questions below, that explain both charges in detail." }, { "question": "Can I use these access numbers to make cheap calls to Martinique from a UK mobile?", "answer": "Yes, however you will be charged more by your mobile service provider, that is, the access charge of the call to Martinique is higher than that of landline. Call Rates Scanner is comparing low cost call providers that are focusing on service via 08 and 09 access numbers. Access charge for these numbers are usually higher for mobile phone operators,unless you have inclusive minutes (see questions below)." }, { "question": "How much am I really charged for calling Martinique from UK landline?", "answer": "access charge – is how much your phone line provider (e.g. BT, Talk Talk, Sky, Virgin etc.) charges you per minute for making the call to any 08 or 09 access number. The charge is the same whether you are calling Martinique or any other destination. The sum of the access charge and service charge is the total cost of the call to Martinique, which should show on your bill. Some phone line providers show the bill with these two charges separately, others show the total of the two. Some phone line providers, may include certain calls in your monthly subscription, e.g. calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers, in which case the entire call to Martinique may be free to you. Yet other providers may charge discounted rate on access charge, during off-peak. access charge to access numbers is likely vary between various providers." }, { "question": "Is VAT included in the price of call to Martinique?", "answer": "Apart from access charge and service charge there are no additional charges or fees for making a call. Call Rates Scanner does not charge you for the calls. Your phone line provider bills you for the entire call (access charge and service charge), then passes on service charge to the operator of the access number (e.g. low cost call provider). This is true for both fixed landline and mobile line providers. Calls from payphones are priced differently, payphones do have a concept of connection fee instead of access charge, but the service charge is dissolved into the cost of other charges. Please refer to help section, Call costs for access numbers to Martinique, for detailed service charge tariffs of landline and mobile phone line providers, and public payphones. There are other types of cheap call services (not listed on this website) that may charge a connection fee for the call. None of the 79 cheap call providers, compared here charge any additional fees." }, { "question": "How do I get billed for the calls to Martinique?", "answer": "Your phone line provider will charge you the advertised pence per minute rate (i.e. service charge), plus their access charge. The latter charge is the same whether you are calling Martinique or any other destination and it varies between phone line providers (e.g. BT, Talk Talk, Sky, Virgin etc.). We recommend that you check your phone line's provider access charge before dialing any of the access numbers." }, { "question": "Are there peak and off-peak rates for Martinique?", "answer": "No, all rates (service charge part) are the same cheap call rates no matter what time of day or night it is, however some phone line providers may charge a discounted rate on access charge of the call, during off-peak. Other providers, may include the calls to certain access numbers in your monthly subscription, e.g. calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers, in which case the entire call to Martinique may be free to you." }, { "question": "Can I call Martinique for free with my inclusive minutes?", "answer": "It depends... Some providers include the calls to certain access numbers in your monthly subscription, example being the calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers. Some of the access numbers compared on Call Rates Scanner are 0845 and 0870 numbers and likely to be free of charge for you. This means that calling to Martinique will be free, subject to fair usage as defined by your phone line provider (e.g. BT, Talk Talk, Sky, Virgin etc.). Careful, some providers are trying to exclude 0845 and 0870 access numbers from their \"inclusive minutes calling plan\" if they discover the number is a dial-through number that provides cheap calls to Martinique. For example, BT has a clause in their calling plan, saying that the plan excludes \"calls to dial-up internet, calling card and dial-through access numbers\". However, they don't keep track of such numbers and low cost call providers regularly rotate the numbers. Thus, this clause is more like a get out clause for them to bail out of the contract, in order to charge extra, if they can prove that this 0845 or 0870 number was used as dial-through access number.

[ { "question": "Will I experience a pain-free drug-free birth using Hypnobirthing?", "answer": "You might! Some ladies I have worked with have achieved just that. However, keeping it real…. Hypnobirthing is not a miracle pill! I can’t and don’t guarantee that you’ll have a drug-free, zen, comfortable water birth at home (although it’s totally possible as Naomi and 1000’s of Hypnobirthing mothers have experienced – read about that here – link) but it really does stack the odds in your favour of having a normal, vaginal birth. But even if you are planning a different type of birth, that’s totally cool too and our Hypnobirthing techniques make a big difference to all birth preparation. Whatever type of birth you are dreaming of, it’s essential that you can switch on a deep level of relaxation to keep you and your baby calm. A skill that you’ll find super valuable in your parenting adventures too. It’s not just about birth with uflourish! A few women that I have worked with have had such comfortable births that they claim were pain-free. However, I know that this is high bar to achieve so I like to keep it real and provide you with a range of concepts and techniques to explore to avoid any disappointment when those surges kick in!" }, { "question": "Does my partner need to come to the lessons?", "answer": "Hypnobirthing is a great informal way for birthing partners to learn what to expect and how they can be useful on the day. There’s nothing worse than a partner panicking like a rabbit in headlights and just getting in the way. (Trust me – that was my hubby first time round before births 2&3!) One of the things that birthing partners love about Hypnobirthing is the way they can get involved during the last weeks of pregnancy and play a key role in supporting their loved one on the big birthing day making a Hypnobirth really feel like team work. I know that partners can be dubious! It all sounds too good to be true but I’ve worked with 100’s of partners like this over the years and they all went on to embrace the tools and techniques. I explain Hypnobirthing techniques using sports analogies and psychology that you can’t dispute! If they really don’t want to support you then you are welcome to bring along an alternative birthing partner instead. Sisters, mums or best friends. Someone who can practise alongside you. Be your cheerleader and nurture you on the day." }, { "question": "How is the Birth Partner involved?", "answer": "The Birth Partner is a key part of the Hypnobirthing experience. He or she practices with the mother in helping to prepare for deep relaxation during the pregnancy. During labour the Birth Partner guides the labouring mother through hypnosis prompts, relaxation techniques, deepening methods, and visualizations, provides comfort measures, putting all that you’ve practised together into play. Think of them as a well-trained positive birth coach – I will share all my experience and top tips with them so that you are supremely supported on your birthing day – this is will make a massive difference to your relaxation levels, knowing that your birthing partner is fully prepared to help you." }, { "question": "What method of Hypnobirthing do you teach?", "answer": "Over the years, I’ve gained experience in several Hypnobirthing methods. I used the American Mongan Method for my own births and early years of teaching but found that approach to be rigid and too much focus on natural vaginal births, often leaving women disappointed. I taught the Katherine Graves way for many years to be in line with Worthing & St Richards Hospital. This gave me a wide range of ideas, tools & concepts to draw on but since I have gained a diploma in Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy and a much more thorough understanding how our how our brains work I am currently proud to teach the acclaimed Calm Birth School method. The materials offered with this course are of a far more effective quality." }, { "question": "What is different about uflourish & The Calm Birth School?", "answer": "It’s modern and suits the more forward thinking professional women. It’s more flexible to suit whatever types of birth women are planning. The Hypnotherapy element is of an excellent standard and has been composed to offer successful change in the way women view birth. It comes with 6 x MP3’s and I use licenced videos of real women using Hypnobirthing techniques (you can’t find these on you tube) to bring her classes to life. Naomi also includes an additional 2 hours of time across her course to ensure that couples have plenty of opportunity to ask questions, be confident in using all the practical techniques and have time to talk about the transition into parenting whilst sharing baby calming techniques to ensure parents are fully prepared for their adventures ahead." }, { "question": "What do Midwives think of Hypnobirthing?", "answer": "The midwives at Western Sussex Hospitals (Worthing & St Richards) are massive fans of Hypnobirthing. I provided training for 100 midwives in 2015 to help them better understand the techniques and theories behind Hypnobirthing and many Midwives have since trained themselves as Hypnobirthing practitioners as they love the benefits that they witness. Hypnobirthing makes their jobs easier as Hypnobirthing mamas are well prepared and equipped for their experiences rather than having to learn on the job, as such! The feedback that I get from my midwife colleagues is that they love supporting Hypnobirthing couples – they too want you to have a positive happy experience. They know that Hypnobirthing reduces the risks of more interventional and surgical births." }, { "question": "Can I use Hypnobirthing if I want to use pain-relief or need a c-section?", "answer": "Absolutely. Hypnobirthing classes will help you to learn relaxation skills that will be useful to both you and your baby, regardless of your birth experience. If medical intervention is needed, you’ll find yourself better able to remain calm and in control. Mothers who have needed scheduled caesareans report that they were totally relaxed before, during and after the procedure. Many report that they needed little or no medication following the birth, and they could return to normal functioning in a very short period of time. You’re very conscious during self-hypnosis! I know a lot of women worry that they’ll be “out of it” during their birth but quite the opposite is true. You’ll be deeply relaxed, but also an active participant in the labour process. Although you will be super calm, you will be totally aware and may return to a conversant state or choose to become more mobile whenever you desire. You might experience time distortion and you might find that you aren’t are distracted by other people or their birthing environment, as focus on birthing your baby. Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxed concentration and focus. What you experience with Hypnobirthing is like daydreaming or focusing that occurs when you are engrossed in a book, staring at a fire, or are driving a car. You will be fully in control and able to carry on normal conversation. You can remain in touch with the instruction, encouragement and support of your birthing partner. You will be aware of your surges (contractions), but you will feel relaxed and calm." }, { "question": "Can I just use a Hypnobirthing book and listen to relaxation downloads?", "answer": "Of course. This is an option for many mothers and some have great births using this easy method. However, it’s a risk as you won’t know until afterwards if this will work for you or not! You will gain so much more from attending classes and really embedding the techniques with me as your positive birth coach. Attending Hypnobirthing classes will hugely increase the effectiveness of the tools and you can really embed them into your everyday life with my encouragement. For me, the money I spent on Hypnobirthing classes was the wisest choice I’ve ever made. I honestly don’t believe I would have taken on board to the lessons so successfully without the guidance of my Hypnobirthing teacher back in 2009 – she improved my entire outlook and mind-set about life!" }, { "question": "I just can’t afford the investment of Hypnobirthing classes?", "answer": "I know that having a baby is a super expensive time – I’ve been there three times! I’ve also learnt that a lot of the expense and outlay is totally un-necessary too. You really don’t need EVERYTHING in the Mothercare catalogue! If your reduced income on Maternity leave is still giving you nightmares – please contact me in complete confidence to discuss payment plans etc. Financial status really shouldn’t be a barrier to you accessing these essential birthing skills. If you have a genuine case – let’s talk about it. Call me on 07717 842448 to find a solution." }, { "question": "Is Hypnobirthing only for first time parents?", "answer": "Many couples come to me wishing they’d done Hypnobirthing for their first birth having experienced a traumatic time. I’ve worked with 2nd, 3rd and even 4th pregnancies and births. I have a lot of skills and techniques that I use to overcome trauma and help you prepare for a more positive birth should you have not had a great previous birth. Even if your earlier births were straightforward, Hypnobirthing can help you take your experience to the next level. Sometimes even orgasmic! Now theres a bar to reach! Thank you Naomi for introducing me to Hypnobirthing. I benefited hugely in preparation for our second baby after a difficult, uncomfortable first birth. I learnt so much about my body and labour that I wasn’t aware of first time. I was able to have a calm, comfortable, quick home birth despite Oliver being in a breech position (which was un-detected in my pregnancy) I count my blessings that I was full of trust and confidence after our lessons as I was able to continue using all my Hypnobirthing breathing and relaxation techniques despite the midwives arriving in a panicked state. The feeling of physical wellbeing was of massive contrast to how I felt after my first baby. I wouldn’t change a thing about my birth and encourage all women to use Hypnobirthing training." } ]

Check your vehicle owner’s manual for the exact LATCH anchor locations and seating positions (if equipped), information on use with a child seat, and for the maximum weight rating for the LATCH anchors. Standard vehicle seat spacing between LATCH anchors is 11 inches (27.9 cm). MOST BRITAX child seats with flexible attachments can be used in a seating position with up to 20 inches (50.8 cm) of space between the LATCH anchors if the vehicle manufacturer allows. The Marathon CLICKTIGHT, Boulevard CLICKTIGHT and Advocate CLICKTIGHT can only be installed using lower anchors in designated vehicle seating positions with LATCH.

BRITAX recommends that caregivers follow directions provided by the vehicle manufacturer for installation of child seats next to side impact air bags. Q." }, { "question": "Can I use an inflatable seat belt to install my BRITAX car seat?", "answer": "A. Yes. BRITAX has revised its recommendations and based upon an analysis of vehicle seat belt system testing results, the current Ford Motor Company (Ford and Lincoln vehicles) Inflatable seat belt system is approved for use with all BRITAX car seats made to date EXCEPT B-Safe 35, B-Safe 35 Elite, Marathon ClickTight, Boulevard ClickTight, and Advocate ClickTight.

The base of the CHAPERONE infant car seat hangs over the edge of the seat when installed in my vehicle." }, { "question": "Is this safe?", "answer": "A. Historically, Child Passenger Safety curriculum has referenced an “80/20 rule of thumb” – which suggests that at least 80% of the child restraint’s base should be in contact with the vehicle seat. Whereas this rule of thumb is a good starting point, changes in product design and materials among manufacturers have resulted in products that defy this guideline in both directions. Some products require 100% of the restraint’s base be in contact with the vehicle seat, while other products may allow for less than 80%. If limitations to standard installations exist – it should be well documented in the user guide. BRITAX has extensively tested the CHAPERONE infant car seat under all configurations possible within the FMVSS-213 standard – with each result far exceeding the required standards. Q." }, { "question": "When can I move my child from a harnessed seat or booster seat to the vehicle seat belt?", "answer": "A. Requirements for car seat use vary depending on the state or province in which you reside. BRITAX recommends that you follow the laws of your state/province as the minimum requirements for restraining your child while traveling. Additionally, BRITAX recommends that you continue to use the child seat system - convertible car seat, youth seat, or booster seat - to the upper limits of its recommended use, or until your child can fit properly in the adult seat belt. The vehicle seat belt must be positioned correctly across the child's hips and shoulder/middle of the chest. Also, please keep in mind that state/province law does not always represent best practice. We recommend that you follow the laws of your state/province as the minimum requirements for restraining your child while traveling. Q. When installed rear-facing, the car seat touches the back of the front vehicle seat." }, { "question": "Is this ok?", "answer": "A. After your car seat is securely installed rear-facing, you may move the front vehicle seat back JUST until contact is made with the car seat. The vehicle seat should not be pushed back so that the secure installation of the car seat is reliant on the front vehicle seat (“bracing”). However, some vehicle manufacturers prohibit any contact between a car seat and the front vehicle seat, so be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual." } ]

[ { "question": "Is a PBGV difficult to housebreak?", "answer": "No more than other breeds. With consistent training on your part, your puppy should be housebroken in a few weeks." }, { "question": "How much will my PBGV shed?", "answer": "The PBGV has a “wire” coat and does not shed much. We recommend a good brushing once a week to remove any loose or dead hair." }, { "question": "Does he require much grooming?", "answer": "No. Besides the weekly brushing, he needs his nails trimmed and his ears checked regularly, but he requires no other grooming." }, { "question": "Is this a good breed for someone with allergies?", "answer": "We do not recommend the PBGV for those who are allergic to dogs. If you are concerned about allergies, please consult your family physician or an allergist." }, { "question": "Is he good with children?", "answer": "Yes on both accounts. He is full of energy and loves children. Because he is sturdy and not given to aggression, he makes a fine family companion. Nevertheless, young children should be taught to respect the pup and how to play with him without hurting him." }, { "question": "So PBGVs have a good temperament?", "answer": "In general, yes. We consider temperament very carefully in our breeding program. We evaluate each pup’s individual character so that we can place him in the most appropriate home." }, { "question": "How much exercise will my PBGV need?", "answer": "This is a difficult question to answer because there is quite a bit of variation in activity level from one PBGV to another. Although a fenced yard for supervised play is best, a minimum of a half-hour walk twice or three times a day is probably sufficient. Young adults will need to be walked more frequently, of course. We have found that the amount of time the dog spends with his family is more important than the amount of exercise he gets, within reason. PBGVs don’t like to be ignored." }, { "question": "Can I let my PBGV run loose or off-leash?", "answer": "The PBGV is a hunting breed, and PBGVs have been bred for centuries to follow their nose and chase rabbits or other small game. For their safety, and for your peace of mind, they should only be let off-leash in a securely enclosed area. They can be very resourceful escape artists and can get into mischief when bored, so we strongly recommend that they be supervised at all times, even when in a fenced yard." }, { "question": "What about Invisible Fencing® and similar products?", "answer": "We know of PBGV owners who have had success with these systems, but we also know many PBGVs for whom they would not be suitable. Success will depend a great deal on your dog’s temperament and your persistence in training him. In most cases, a securely enclosed area is probably the way to go. Both of us work." }, { "question": "Is that a problem?", "answer": "It will not be a problem as long as you have time to spend with your dog when you are home. Also, while your PBGV is a puppy someone will have to come home during the day to allow it to relieve itself. As with any dog, PBGVs want and need human companionship. If they don’t get it, they will demand it." }, { "question": "Do PBGVs bark a lot?", "answer": "Most dogs will bark on occasion, and PBGVs are no exception. They also can howl or bay. The breed standard says “good voice, freely used,” and some PBGVs definitely use their voice more freely than others. If you don’t want barking to become a problem, you should never encourage it. I have heard that digging, chewing, and destructiveness can be a problem." }, { "question": "Is that true?", "answer": "Left unsupervised in the yard, any dog will dig; that’s why we recommend supervised play outside. You should always have a good supply of safe chew toys available, especially during teething periods; this will reduce the chance of the dog chewing on your furniture. As for destructiveness, it’s rarely a problem unless the dog is not receiving enough attention." }, { "question": "Is a PBGV hard to train?", "answer": "No. The PBGV is very intelligent and he catches on very quickly to what you want him to do. Since he can be independent, he requires consistent application of the rules by all family members. Like all other breeds, the PBGV is subject to some health problems. These are described in our Health Problems page." } ]

The most important characteristic they share is that they both offer limited liability protection to its owners. Typically, shareholders are not liable for the debts and obligations of the corporation; thus, creditors will not come knocking at the door of a shareholder to pay debts of the corporation. In a partnership or sole proprietorship the owner’s personal assets may be used to pay debts of the business. With an LLC, the members are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the corporation. There are many important differences between the corporation and LLC. The entities are taxed differently. An LLC is a pass-through tax entity. This means that the income to the entity is not taxed at the entity level; however, the entity does complete a tax return. The income or loss as shown on this return is “passed through” the business entity to the individual shareholders or interest holders, and is reported on their individual tax returns." }, { "question": "Why incorporate as Close Corporation?", "answer": "A business in the state of Nevada can be incorporated either under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 78 Private Corporations or Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 78A Close Corporations. In order to file as a close corporation, NRS 78A.020 requires that the number of shareholders shall not exceed 30." }, { "question": "Why incorporate as a close corporation under NRS Chapter 78A?", "answer": "The vast majority of individuals incorporate their businesses in order to limit their liability to their investment in the corporation. Even if a business is incorporated, a shareholders personal assets my still be reached by creditors of the corporation in order to pay the debts of the corporation, including civil judgments against the corporation. This occurs when a court of competent jurisdiction pierces the ” corporate veil“. The term corporate veil is a legal “terrm of art” for the state statutory protection limiting the liability of shareholders of a corporation to their investment in the corporation. A court can pierce the corporate veil for various reasons. One of the many reasons for piercing the corporate veil, and the one which is relevant at hand, is when the corporation does not strictly comply with the state’s strict statutory requirements for record keeping and the holding of meetings. A business incorporated under NRS Chapter 78 must strictly comply with the record keeping and meeting requirements promulgated under NRS Chapter 78 or risk having its corporate veil pierced by a court in a civil suit. In other words, a close corporation can be operated informally, while a business incorporated under NRS Chapter 78 must be operated formally. A business incorporated as a close corporation under NRS Chapter 78A does not have to strictly adhere to the record keeping and meeting requirements of NRS Chapter 78. Consequently, a business incorporated under NRS Chapter 78A rather than NRS 78 has less of a chance of having its corporate veil pierced. Another advantage of incorporating a business under NRS Chapter 78A rather than NRS Chapter 78 is that a close corporation is not required to have a board of directors, the corporation can be directed directly by the shareholders. It must be pointed out that a business incorporated under NRS Chapter 78A is still governed by those provisions of NRS Chapter 78 which are not inconsistent with NRS Chapter 78A. Also, NRS Chapter 78 places restrictions on the transfer of stock in a close corporation which must be conspicuously printed on the shares of the corporation.

The articles are filed with the proper state government to begin corporate existence. The articles contain basic information on the corporation as required by state law. The organizational meeting completes the formation of the corporation. At the organizational meeting, a number of initial tasks are completed such as: the Articles of Incorporation are ratified; the initial shares are issued; officers are elected; bylaws are approved; and a resolution authorizing the opening of bank account is passed. If the initial directors are named in the Articles of Incorporation, they can hold the organizational meeting. If they are not named, then the organizational meeting is held by the incorporator. Bylaws are rules and regulations adopted by a corporation for its internal governance. They usually contain provisions relating to shareholders, directors, officers and general corporate business. At the corporations initial meeting, the bylaws are adopted. Bylaws are a private document not filed with any state authority. The Board of Directors and shareholders transact business at meetings, with decisions being typically made by majority vote. Certain formalities must be followed in holding Board of Directors and shareholder meetings. The meetings must be held pursuant to notice. Notice may be waived if the waiver is done in writing. The secretary or other person mailing the notice should complete an affidavit of mailing notice, and the minutes of the meeting should be recorded. The notice document, affidavit or waiver should all be attached to the minutes of the meeting." }, { "question": "Are directors' and officers' names a matter of public record?", "answer": "Yes. Names and addresses are filed with the state and are therefore available to anyone. Nevada requires this filing annually. They do not require notification of intervening changes." }, { "question": "What is the responsibility of the president, treasurer and secretary?", "answer": "The president is typically responsible for entering into contracts on behalf of the corporation; the treasurer is responsible for maintaining and accounting for corporate funds; and the secretary is responsible for observing corporate formalities and maintaining corporate records. In addition to these required officer positions, a corporation may also have vice presidents and/or assistant secretaries or assistant treasurers. Typically, the authority and responsibilities of each officer is described in the corporate bylaws and may be further defined by an employment contract or job description. The President: The president has the overall executive responsibility for the management of the corporation and is directly responsible for carrying out the orders of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors usually elects him or her. The Treasurer: The treasurer is the chief financial officer of the corporation and is responsible for controlling and recording its finances and maintaining corporate bank accounts. Actual fiscal policy of the corporation may rest with the Board of Directors and be largely controlled by the president on a day-to-day basis. The Secretary: The secretary is typically responsible for maintaining the corporate records.Under normal circumstances, officers, directors, managers, etc. do not have personal liability for lawful acts of the corporation. In addition, in Nevada statutes, the owners are not the appropriate party to a lawsuit. The company may also indemnify any officer, director, manager, etc. from personal liability." }, { "question": "What are the directors' and officers' corporate liability?", "answer": "Under normal circumstances, officers, directors, managers, etc. do not have personal liability for lawful acts of the corporation. In addition, in Nevada statutes, the owners are not the appropriate party to a lawsuit. The company may also indemnify any officer, director, manager, etc. from personal liability. The Board of Directors is essentially the management body for the corporation. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors include establishing all business policies and approving major contracts and undertakings. In addition, the board may also elect the president. The officers and employees under the directives and supervision of these directors carry out ordinary business practices of the corporation. The directors must act collectively for their votes and decisions to be valid. That’s why directors may only act at a Board of Directors meeting. This, however, requires certain formalities. One such formality is that the directors all must be notified of a forthcoming meeting in a prescribed manner, although this can be waived or provided for in the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or bylaws. For a directors’ meeting to be valid, there must also be a quorum of directors present. A quorum is usually a majority of the directors then serving on the board; however, the bylaws may specify another minimum number or percentage. The Board of Directors must meet on a regular basis (monthly or quarterly), but in no case less than annually. These are the regular board meetings. The board may also call special meetings for matters that may arise between regular meetings. In addition, boards may call a special shareholders’ meeting by adopting a resolution stating where and when the meeting is to be held and what business is to be transacted. The first meeting of the Board of Directors is important because the bylaws, the corporate seal, stock certificates and record books are adopted. Board members, like officers, have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the corporation and cannot put their own interests ahead of the corporation’s. The board must also act prudently and not negligently manage the affairs of the corporation. Finally, the board must make certain that it properly exercises its authority in managing the corporation and does not abrogate its responsibilities to others. This means that the board must be very careful to document that each board action was reasonable, lawful and in the best interests of the corporation. This is particularly true with matters involving compensation, dividends and dealings involving officers, directors and stockholders. The record or corporate minutes of the meeting must include the arguments or statements to support the board’s action and why must detail why the action was proper." }, { "question": "Can you change the directors or add new ones?", "answer": "You can change or add new directors anytime. If you want the Secretary of State to record the change, you have to submit a new Annual List of Officers and Directors.

A P.O. box address anywhere in the world is fine." }, { "question": "If I have a Nevada corporation, but I am doing business in California, do I also need a Nevada business license?", "answer": "No. If you are doing business in California, you need a business license for California only; you don’t need one for Nevada if your company is not physically there doing business." }, { "question": "Can you provide shelf corporations?", "answer": "A “shelf corporation,” by definition, has not had any business transacted or stock issued. Basically, it should have been “sitting on the shelf”. There are some advantages to an Aged corporation for specific situations, but instant credit is not one of them. The lender would need to see the ability to repay the loan, assets that could be used as collateral, a proven record of ability to earn income, and other loan activity that has been paid on time." }, { "question": "What is included in the Resident Agent service?", "answer": "Forwarding any official documents from the Secretary of State.

[ { "question": "Are Online College Professors Respected in Academia?", "answer": "There is a tendency among some to think that online college professors do not have the respect of their peers. They think that those who teach in traditional college settings look down on those who teach online or that online professors do not have as much experience as those who teach on campus. Many of the top online programs today now have an association with a major college or university. The same professors who teach you in a classroom are the ones teaching online. The change in the way people think about online colleges led to a change in the way they perceive teachers working for those schools. There are really two different types of online colleges today. There are those that function as an online extension of a standard university. For example, schools like Ohio State University, NYU and even Harvard now offer online programs. The second type of school is one that only functions as an online school. Instead of having a standalone campus, the school only operates online. Some in academia view those working for an online only school as having an easy job that doesn’t involve any real teaching. Getting a job in academia today usually requires some type of terminal degree and some teaching experience too. A terminal degree is the top degree that you can get in your subject matter. Though most professions have PhD programs, some subjects end at the master’s level. To teach in a traditional college or university, you will usually need a PhD. If your field ends at the master’s level, you may need five to 10 years of experience. Online colleges often hire those who have less experience. You might get a teaching job with just a bachelor’s degree and a few years of experience or with a master’s degree right out of college. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median wage among post-secondary teachers working in colleges today is $70,790 a year. The BLS also estimates that the need for qualified professors will increase at a faster than average rate. This may occur because of the increase in the number of students taking classes online. Those colleges will need dependable professors who can teach online classes, have strong technology skills and can use the new online systems. The reason that some think online college professors do not gain respect in the academic community is likely due to the number of problems with online schools reported in the past. The United States Department of Education now makes it harder for scam schools and diploma mills to operate. As the number of those schools decreases, it’s likely that the reputation of online teachers will increase. Online professors generally need the same amount of education and experience to teach classes. As the number of reputable online colleges increases, the reputation of teachers in those schools will improve too. Online colleges once had a poor reputation because so many schools functioned solely to take money from students and give degrees to anyone who had enough cash. As the government cracks down on those schools and imposes new regulations on online colleges, you’ll see the reputation of online college professors increasing in the academic community." } ]

It’s important to have enough toilets on site and if you are doing more than a one night stay you might want to think about providing some shower facilities for your guests." }, { "question": "Is there anything else we need to think about when booking a Bell Tent Hotel?", "answer": "There are a number of practical considerations you need to take into account before you build you glamping village. If you think about it carefully at the beginning you will have a great party, happy guests and hopefully no hiccups! Good access to the camping site is crucial – we have a lot of equipment and our stock is very heavy so we will need to take our vehicles directly to the area we will be erecting the tents. If we cannot access the site with our vehicles then we may not be able to build the bell tent village. The land must be cleared of animals and all animal waste in advance of us getting to site. Again, if the site is not clear the tents cannot go up. Make sure that when you are choosing your glamp-site ask the right questions and make sure the land is not too marshy or prone to being water logged in the event of heavy rain. Last but not least, we are efficient and once we get started we will steam on until everything is finished and ready for your event.

[ { "question": "If the lights are being turned on and off, won't the lights seem to be flickering?", "answer": "No. No matter how bright or how dim, the light level is constant and smooth. The human eye sees things after they go away. An example of this is in movies where the film is projected on the screen many times a second." }, { "question": "Doesn't turning the lights on and off so quickly decrease bulb life?", "answer": "No. Switching the bulb does not decrease bulb life; heat decreases bulb life. By reducing heat, bulb life is increased." }, { "question": "Does dimming affect halogen lamp life?", "answer": "Yes. Dimming increases incandescent lamp life. Halogen lamps are incandescent lamps with a tungsten filament. Lutron's pilot test data suggests that halogen lamps will have an expected lamp life similar to other incandescent lamps when dimmed. As an example, 1 type of halogen lamp with a rated life of 2,000 hrs dimmed to 80 V has a life extension of at least 5 times." }, { "question": "Can neon/cold cathode lamps be dimmed?", "answer": "Yes. By using the proper equipment neon/cold cathode lamps can be successfully dimmed. Lutron Nova low voltage dimmers and GRAFIK Eye controls are UL listed for neon/cold cathode loads." }, { "question": "Will Lutron dimmers affect high-end output?", "answer": "When the Lutron dimmer is set at full, most users will not notice a difference from a switched light. A light meter will register a slightly lower high-end output, as Lutron dimmers automatically save electricity and make incandescent bulbs last longer." }, { "question": "Why do dimmers get warm, and is this safe?", "answer": "The technical explanation: During normal operation, solid-state dimmers generate heat. A solid-state dimmer is roughly 98% efficient – 2% of the power is dissipated as heat, which causes the dimmer to feel warm to the touch. The closer a dimmer is run to full output and the higher the load (watts) on the dimmer, the warmer it will feel. This is perfectly normal and safe. Lutron dimmers are designed to the strictest UL safety standard, and can handle their full rated load (a 600 W dimmer can handle a full 600 W of power* without overheating." }, { "question": "What is common neutral interaction?", "answer": "Common neutral interaction occurs between at least 2 dimmers that share the same neutral wire. When solid-state dimmers are operating, voltage spikes occur and are transmitted onto the neutral wire. Normally this is of little concern. When the neutral wire is common (to 2 or more phases of a 3-phase, 4-wire system) the voltage spikes may feed back to the dimmers. The common neutral wire can cause interaction between the dimmers that are on different phases. RFI is a buzzing noise that may occur in some audio and radio equipment when solid-state dimmers are used nearby. Although every Lutron dimmer contains a filter to suppress RFI, additional filtering may be required in some applications. Typical examples of RFI-sensitive equipment are AM radios, stereo sound systems, broadcasting equipment, intercom systems, public address systems, and wireless telephones." }, { "question": "Should I use quiet, or fully variable fan controls?", "answer": "Quiet fan controls are the best choice for 1 ceiling paddle fan. Quiet fan-speed controls will not cause fan-motor hum, making them ideal for locations where noise reduction is particularly important. Fully variable fan controls are the only choice for controlling more than 1 ceiling paddle fan, as well as bathroom, whole-house/attic, range hood, agricultural fans, and heat exchangers. Transformers may have magnetic (core and coil, toroidal) or electronic (solid-state) clearly indicated on the product. This may not be found on all products. The best way to determine transformer type is to contact the manufacturer. HINT: Magnetic transformers are often heavy for their size. Electronic transformers tend to be smaller and are often light for their size." }, { "question": "Can I use CFLs with my dimmers?", "answer": "Lutron does not currently recommend using screw-in CFLs (\"spiral\" or \"energy saver\" bulbs) with dimmers. Some screw-in CFL bulbs are labeled as dimmable, but their performance does not meet Lutron's high quality standards." }, { "question": "Can I use a 3-way dimmer in a single-pole application?", "answer": "Yes. If a product purchased as a 3-way control needs to be used in a single-pole application, cap off 1 of the traveler wires with a wire connector. No. Multi-location dimmers do use standard 3-way wiring, but make use of 1 wire for communications while the other carries the load current. A 3-way switch is not compatible with this." }, { "question": "What is the \"common terminal\" on a 3-way switch?", "answer": "The common terminal is the different colored screw (not the green). Yes. A 3-way dimmer will replace 1 of the 3-way switches. A 4-way circuit can be dimmed from all switch locations by using a multi-location dimmer and 2 accessory dimmers such as Maestro or Spacer." }, { "question": "Why does my lamp buzz?", "answer": "Occasionally, you may sometimes notice that a lamp is buzzing. This is caused by the lamp filament vibrating as the dimmer rapidly switches the lamp on and off. Lamp buzz is generally noisiest at the mid-range (50%) dimming level. If this happens, use rough service lamps (sometimes called garage door opener lamps), physically smaller lamps, or lower wattage lamps. The most effective way of reducing lamp buzz is to install a lamp debuzzing coil (LDC) in the lighting circuit. When an LDC is wired in series with the dimmer, it slows down the inrush of current during the rapid switching cycle of the dimmer. As the current inrush is slowed down, the lamp filament vibration and lamp buzz are reduced." }, { "question": "What do I do if I need more wattage than that for which the product is rated?", "answer": "Hi-Power 2-4-6 dimming modules can be added to any incandescent dimmer to increase the load capacity up to 30,000 watts. Lutron also provides GRAFIK Eye dimming panels for load capacity up to 144,000 watts in 1 panel." }, { "question": "Why do my lights flash or suddenly change levels?", "answer": "You may be experiencing a common neutral interaction. Common neutral interaction is cross talk between dimmers that share the same neutral wire. This may cause the lights to flicker, flash, or suddenly change intensity. When solid-state dimmers are operating, voltage spikes occur and are transmitted onto the neutral wire. Normally this is of little concern, except when the neutral wire is common to 2 or more phases of a 120/208 V, 3-phase, 4-wire system. Under this condition, the voltage spikes may feed back to the dimmers via the common neutral wire, causing interacting between the dimmers. Reverse the connections on the Smart Dimmer. (Swap the black and red wires with the connectors from the wallbox.) It is on the load side of the circuit." }, { "question": "How do I eliminate buzz with a magnetic low-voltage fixture?", "answer": "If the fixture has a toroidal type transformer (looks like a donut with wires wrapped around it), use a dimmer with a neutral wire. If your fixture has a \"core and coil\" transformer (square and heavy), use a lamp debuzzing coil." }, { "question": "Why are my energy-saving or screw-in fluorescent lamps dropping out at low end or flickering?", "answer": "These lamps, whether they be termed energy saving or otherwise, are really fluorescent lamps at their heart. Even the ones marked or packaged as dimmable generally exhibit problems with light levels dropping off suddenly when dimming down, or there can be flickering throughout the dimming range. Lutron does not recommend using these bulbs and reminds you that you are already saving energy when dimming your regular incandescent lights." }, { "question": "Why can't I mount my dimmer horizontally in my wall?", "answer": "Lutron dimmers are designed and tested to be installed and operated only in the mounting position (vertical) as indicated on the dimmer." }, { "question": "There is no ground wire in the box, what do I do with the green wire?", "answer": "For this type of installation, cap or remove the dimmer ground wire. A dimmer installed in this manner must be provided with a plastic, noncombustible wallplate (all Lutron plastic wallplates meet these requirements)." }, { "question": "Why are some dimmer wires not copper colored?", "answer": "Lutron uses tinned copper wires on some of our products. These wires are silver in color as a result of the tinning process. Tinned copper wires are compatible with copper wiring and wire nuts. Lutron uses tinned copper wires to avoid stray strands, and to make our products easier to install." }, { "question": "Why are there 2 wires on 1 of my single-pole switch terminals?", "answer": "A \"continue hot\" wire is 1 of the 2 wires. It's used for a branch circuit. Keep the 2 wires together, and connect both to 1 of the wires on the dimmer." }, { "question": "Why does my 4-way switch have 4 wires but the replacement accessory dimmer only has 3 wires?", "answer": "The blue wire of the accessory dimmer connects to 2 of the wires from the switch (as shown in the dimmer instruction sheet)." }, { "question": "Will a fan/light control work with existing wiring?", "answer": "The fan/light control requires separate wires to the fan and light, and a 120 V hotwire. Unless your house was specifically wired for fan/light controls, additional wiring is necessary. All Lutron dimmers have an air-gap off. Typically this is integrated into a slider or paddle switch. Some dimmers have electronics that stay active when the lights are off, such as an infrared receiver. For these products, the air gap is activated by a separate Front Accessible Service Switch (FASS). When open, the FASS completely disconnects the power to the load. This ensures that there is no leakage current to the fixture during routine lamp maintenance. In addition, when the FASS is open, no remote locations (3-way, etc.) can re-energize the circuit. Yes. Please visit Lutron's glossary of terms for definitions of lighting industry-specific words and phrases." }, { "question": "Are all CFLs or LED bulbs dimmable?", "answer": "Note: Any bulb that cannot be used on a dimmer will have the statement “not for use with dimmers” marked directly on the bulb." }, { "question": "Can I use any dimmable CFL or LED with a Lutron C·L dimmer?", "answer": "Per UL standard 1472, Lutron has tested a broad range of dimmable CFL and LED bulbs to ensure compatibility with our dimmers. We can only suggest bulbs that have been tested and deemed compatible. If your bulb is not on the list please contact Technical Support (800-523-9466). Please note that Lutron continues to test bulbs regularly. For a list of compatible bulbs visit http://www.lutron.com/dimcflled." }, { "question": "If I can’t find my bulb on your list, can I use it on your dimmer?", "answer": "Per UL standard 1472, Lutron has tested a broad range of dimmable CFL and LED bulbs to ensure compatibility with our dimmers. We can only suggest bulbs that have been tested and deemed compatible. Please note that Lutron continues to test bulbs.If your bulb is not on the list please contact Technical Support (800-523-9466)." }, { "question": "What is the difference between an LED bulb and an LED fixture?", "answer": "An LED bulb is a direct replacement for an incandescent/halogen bulb with a screw-in style base. LED fixtures consist of an integral LED driver and engine along with the housing that contains them. The driver is often a separate component mounted on the junction box, similar to a separate fluorescent ballast. I have an LED fixture." }, { "question": "Which dimmer can I use?", "answer": "A limited number of approved fixtures with integral LED drivers are listed in the Approved Dimmable CFL/LED Bulb List. Many fixtures require a separate driver to enable dimming. Lutron offers drivers and dimmers to control these LED fixtures. Go to the LED Product Selection Tool to determine which Lutron products are approved to control your LED fixture." }, { "question": "What about using dimmable CFLs, LEDs and incandescent/ halogen bulbs on the same dimmer?", "answer": "Yes, you can use different light sources on the same circuit with C·L dimmers. You can mix any combination of approved dimmable CFLs, LEDs and any incandescent/halogen bulbs if you follow the guidelines provided below." }, { "question": "Can I use CFL and LED bulbs from different manufacturers on the same dimmer?", "answer": "Yes, but dimming performance may vary from bulb to bulb due to variances between manufacturers." }, { "question": "What is HED Technology and what does it do?", "answer": "HED Technology features advanced dimming circuitry designed for compatibility with most high efficacy light bulbs to alleviate the problems of dimming CFLs and LEDs on standard dimmers. With HED Technology, the dimmers can also dim a mixed load of light sources (i.e. LED and halogen or CFL and LED bulbs) on the same circuit." }, { "question": "What does the dial do on the side of my dimmer?", "answer": "Because performance is so varied from bulb to bulb or manufacturer to manufacturer, the adjustment dial will help you set the bottom of the dimming range for your particular bulbs." }, { "question": "Does the Credenza / C·L have an adjustment dial that adjusts dimming range?", "answer": "The Credenza / C·L does not have an adjustment dial as it is not necessary based on the product’s application. It is a slide-to-off dimmer, not a preset dimmer, and has a full range of dimming to accommodate most products." }, { "question": "Why won’t my CFLs dim as low as incandescent or halogen bulbs?", "answer": "Incandescent/halogen bulbs will typically dim lower than CFL or LED bulbs. Most dimmable CFLs will dim down to 10% to 30% measured light output. Please note that the actual dimming range is dictated by the bulb’s circuitry." }, { "question": "How low can LEDs bulbs dim?", "answer": "Dimming range will depend on the LED bulb. Early versions of dimmable LEDs have the ability to dim lower than CFLs and can reach levels as low as 5% to15% measured light. Please note that the actual dimming range is dictated by the bulb’s circuitry." }, { "question": "Do dimming CFL and LED bulbs save energy?", "answer": "Yes. Replacing incandescent and halogen bulbs with dimmable CFLs and LEDs saves energy. Dimming them increases energy savings. The more you dim the more you save." }, { "question": "Why do my bulbs still flicker, even after I have used the adjustment dial?", "answer": "The dimming performance of LED lighting can vary greatly from fixture to fixture. Lutron has done extensive testing of LED fixtures on the market and has developed the LED Product Selection Tool to help simplify the process. This testing was conducted because dimming performance varies by manufacturer and even within a manufacturer’s product offering. Only by testing can you determine electrical compatibility, dimming performance, and the number of lamps or fixtures that can be used on a dimmer. You can also dim many LED bulbs. Lutron is actively testing different manufacturer’s bulbs to understand compatibility and performance with Lutron controls. The results of that testing can be found on the Bulb Selector. Approved Dimmable CFL/LED Bulb List. An LED bulb is a direct replacement for an incandescent / halogen bulb with a screw-in style base. LED fixtures consist of an LED driver and engine along with the housing that contains them. The driver is often a separate component mounted on the junction box, similar to separate fluorescent ballast." }, { "question": "Do LED bulbs require extra wiring?", "answer": "Some LEDs are designed to replace or install into existing sockets. In these cases extra wiring in the wallbox may be needed if the dimmer requires a neutral connection." }, { "question": "Do LED fixtures require extra wiring?", "answer": "Lutron's Hi-lume A-Series LED driver may require an additional wire going to the fixture to carry the control signal if using 3-Wire models. This wiring may be done using conventional line voltage wiring such as 14/3 romex. LEDs using low voltage control will need additional wiring, which is often Class 2. Routing this wire has different requirements over conventional line voltage. See application note 213 Combining Low-Voltage and Line-Voltage Wiring Devices in a Multi-Gang Box." }, { "question": "How do I switch LED bulbs?", "answer": "There are no issues with switching LED bulbs with most standard mechanical toggle switches. If the LED bulbs are being switched with mechanical toggle switches with a nightlight or electronic switches, then the bulb must be qualified to work with these types of switches either by the LED bulb or switch manufacturer. The issue is that there is a small amount of off-state leakage current that may cause the load to stay on at a low level even in the off-state." }, { "question": "What is a \"standard\" or \"conventional\" dimmer?", "answer": "LEDs can be controlled by many different types of controls and it is up to the manufacturer to clearly define on their packaging which type of control to use with their products. So when a product is said to work with a “standard” or “conventional” dimmer, there is no right answer for which control to use. This may make it difficult to determine which type of control to use with the LED bulb or fixture that you purchased. The LED Control Center of Excellence tests fixtures and bulbs and reports exactly which controls to use. For LED fixture testing results, please visit the LED Product Selection Tool. For LED bulb testing results, please review the Approved Dimmable CFL/LED Bulb List. Dimming range will depend on both the fixture and the control. Many LED fixtures are not capable of being dimmed below 10% measured light level, regardless of the control used. Please see the Lutron LED Product Selection Tool for specific information regarding the dimming range of a fixture and control combination. Use Hi-lume A-Series LED drivers for 1% dimming. Unfortunately “compatible” is a generic term used by many manufacturers, and it has no standard meaning. Lutron has performed extensive testing with each fixture/bulb and control combination to ensure that the solution will provide reliable, smooth, and continuous dimming before recommending it in the LED Product Selection Tool or the Approved Dimmable CFL/LED Bulb List. Lutron cannot make any recommendations based on what other manufacturer’s print on their instruction and/or specification sheets. I don't see my fixture or bulb on the selection tools." }, { "question": "Was it tested?", "answer": "Lutron has tested a significant number of fixtures/bulbs and all findings have been communicated back to the manufacturer of these fixtures/bulbs. Please contact the manufacturer to find out the status." }, { "question": "Can Lutron test my driver, fixture or bulb?", "answer": "The manufacturer can submit a request to have their product tested through our website. Lutron will NOT post anything that has not been endorsed by the manufacturer. Currently, the light output of an LED averages about 45 to 50 lumens per watt (lm/W), but can reach as high as 100 lm/W and more. An incandescent typically produces 12-15 lm/W, and CFLs can produce at least 50 lm/W. Measured light is the amount of light as shown on a light meter, whereas perceived light is the amount of light that your eye interprets due to dilation. Twenty percent measured light equals forty-seven percent perceived light." }, { "question": "How does energy savings with LEDs compare to that of incandescent bulbs?", "answer": "The energy savings with LED lights is linear unlike with an incandescent. This means that when you dim LEDs to 50% you save 50% energy." }, { "question": "What is the lifetime of LEDs?", "answer": "The lifetime of an LED can span from 30,000 hours to 50,000 hours. The typical incandescent bulb lasts about 1,000 hours, while a CFL can last about 10,000 hours, and a linear fluorescent can last more than 30,000 hours. The lifetime of an LED is based on the length of time it can operate at or above 70% of its lumen output. There are a few failure modes for LEDs, but the most common results in a gradual decrease in the light output. As an LED ages, the amount of light that it produces will slowly decrease. The lifetime of an LED is based on the length of time it can operate at or above 70% of its lumen output. LEDs do not generate as much heat as an incandescent, but they still generate some heat. In order to ensure a long life, LEDs must be cooled. Many manufacturers provide a large heat sink to reduce the temperature of the LEDs to ensure the rated life expectancy." }, { "question": "Do LEDs make audible noise?", "answer": "LED light sources do not make any audible noise, but the drivers and power supplies for the LED light source may create a hum or buzz. This may occur from using an improper control device. For a listing of Lutron controls that are compatible with the Hi-lume A-Series LED driver, click here and for LED bulb compatibility information, please see the Approved Dimmable CFL/LED Bulb List." }, { "question": "Is there an Energy Star rating for LED lighting?", "answer": "There is an Energy Star rating for LED lamps and for LED fixtures. To be Energy Star compliant many criteria exist, including that the LED must have a power factor of 0.7 or higher. Lutron’s Hi-Lume A-Series LED driver has a power factor of at least 0.95. The LED manufacturer must also state what control types they are compatible with. This statement of compatibility does not, however, mean that the LED will dim very well. For compatibility, it is recommended that you use our LED Product Selection Tool." }, { "question": "Why can I control only a few fixtures with a dimmer?", "answer": "Repetitive Peak Current - This is the peak amount of current measured on each line cycle when the dimmer turns on. It is determined by changing the dimmer level until the maximum current spike is seen, then recording the peak value. This spike can potentially occur at lower points in the dimming curve. This value is only relevant for leading-edge dimmers. Inrush Current - This is the peak amount of current measured when the load is turned on at the peak of the line cycle. This value is not relevant for ELV or MLV power supplies that are certified independent of the fixture. Maximum RMS Current - This is the maximum RMS current measured at any point of the dimming curve. Some LED loads take more current when dimmed slightly than they do at high end or full conduction. Due to one or more of the above factors having an exceptionally high value, a fixture/lamp when placed on a dimmer may put the stress of a higher rated bulb on the dimmer. The LED Report Cards take these values into account when determining how many fixtures a particular dimmer is capable of handling. Exceeding the recommended maximum can dramatically shorten the life of the dimmer. Lutron’s LED Control Center of Excellence is available via email ([email protected]) and by telephone, which is staffed from 7am -7pm Monday through Friday. The hotline number is 1 (877) DIM - LED8 or 1 (877) 346 – 5338." } ]

[ { "question": "Law Enforcement is a career made popular by television programs and media, but what kind of jobs in law enforcement can you get with a master's in criminal justice?", "answer": "The diverse field includes everything from business forensics to actual crime scene investigation. Some positions can be obtained with a high school diploma and some additional training. Still others require an associate or bachelor's degree. Many exciting and lucrative positions in criminal justice require a graduate degree. According to the website Career Profiles.info, criminology includes several different facets. For instance, a person with a graduate degree might become a criminalist. These professionals use scientific principles to analyze evidence that has been collected. They also write reports to be included in the investigations of other departments and sometimes testify in court. A criminologist studies criminal behaviors by doing research and analyzing data from populations of people to identify criminal behavior problems and possible causative factors. These are sociologists with concentrations in criminal justice. Forensic psychologists are professionals who utilize psychology to assist law enforcement in investigations. They sometimes do criminal profiling and counseling or work within the court system with juvenile victims as well as offenders. Also included in the field of criminology are penologists. These professionals may work to design rehabilitation programs for prisons and to help develop programs that will enable prisons, jails and other correction facilities to run smoother. Some penologists become administrators or policy makers at the state or federal level and some become prison wardens. Numerous positions in the criminal justice field, such as a corrections officer or a policeman, do not require a graduate degree. These jobs are found at the local, state and federal level as community police officers and state patrolmen as well as investigators for the state bureaus of investigation and for the federal government as a CIA or FBI. To obtain an administrative position within these agencies however, applicants will be more successful if they have at least a master's in criminal justice. These professionals can become senior investigators and administrators for the Treasury Department, working as forensic accountants investigating fraud and designing secure computer systems to use in the investigation and presentation of cases. Within the criminal justice field, there is also a need for probation and parole officers. Although entry-level and rural placements do not necessarily require graduate degrees, anyone desiring a supervisory or administrative position in these careers must have at least a master's degree in criminal justice. Judges and magistrates are careers in criminal justice that can be highly lucrative. Surprisingly, these professionals don't have to be attorneys, but most do require applicants to have advanced degrees. Along this same path are mediators and conciliators. Entry level positions require an undergraduate degree but those professionals with a master's degree earn more and have greater job security. Criminal justice careers can be very rewarding and many positions in the field are high-paying. Although the portrayal of the careers on television is probably not accurate, there is diversity and excitement in many law enforcement jobs. As in most professions, people with the highest earning potential and job satisfaction tend to be those who have a master's in criminal justice." } ]

[ { "question": "What is the MPIRICA Quality Score?", "answer": "The MPIRICA Quality Score rates how hospitals and surgeons have performed on specific procedures, on a scale of 100 (sub-optimal care) to 800 (superior care). Since it judges providers by the procedure, each provider may have multiple scores, based on the procedures they perform. That's important for both patients and payers to remember. A provider might be a world-class performer in one arena, yet produce poor outcomes in another. Unlike other provider ranking systems, The MPIRICA Quality Score will capture the discrepancy. This empowers decision makers with specific, valid, and actionable information to make good care choices." }, { "question": "How is the MPIRICA Quality Score calculated?", "answer": "The MPIRICA Quality Score incorporates measures of quality that are most important to patients having surgery: mortality, major complications (exhibited by prolonged and risk-adjusted lengths of stay), readmissions, and ER visits. The data is evaluated from the time patients are admitted, through 90 days after they are discharged (for inpatient procedures). These figures offer historical insight into a surgeon’s performance. They’re the best metrics available to compare one provider’s outcomes with another’s. Using risk adjustment and analysis (more about this below), MPIRICA predicts the number of adverse outcomes expected from each surgeon. Then, it compares how providers actually perform against these predictions. If providers perform better than expected, they receive a higher MPIRICA Quality Score. If the outcomes are worse than expected, that drives their score down. More information can be found on our methodology page." }, { "question": "What kinds of procedures does the MPIRICA Quality Score examine?", "answer": "The MPIRICA Quality Score measures performance on 28 surgical categories: 15 inpatient, 10 outpatient, and 3 that can be performed in either setting. A total of 864 possible procedures fall into these categories." }, { "question": "Why should I trust the MPIRICA Quality Score?", "answer": "Although MPIRICA is a young company, the methodology behind The Quality Score is not. A team of doctors and statisticians at MPA Healthcare Solutions has developed and refined the science behind MPIRICA’s scoring system for more than two decades. MPIRICA’s calculations draw from the strongest dataset available in America – Medicare’s. The Quality Score analyzes millions of medical claims from over 100,000 surgeons and almost 5,000 hospitals across the country. Then it adjusts outcomes for patient risk (see more on that adjustment below), and rates providers on their performance. Because the MPIRICA Quality Score is based on a rigorous methodology to represent risk-adjusted outcomes, not subjective reviews, and because it uses the largest publicly available dataset, we believe it is the most comprehensive and robust score available in the industry. Members of the team behind the methodology have been published in numerous journals; a selected list related to medical quality analytics can be provided upon request to [email protected]." }, { "question": "Why is the MPIRICA Quality Score important to patients, their families, their physicians, and their employers?", "answer": "For the average patient, healthcare data can be impenetrable. It’s not easy to access, and even harder to interpret. The MPIRICA Quality Score does this work for the patient, summarizing complex health-data into a simple three-digit number. That gives patients an intuitive tool to assess hospitals and surgeons at the procedure level. But businesses use the Quality Score, too. Payers can quickly see how providers in their network perform across various surgical procedures. This information, charted alongside cost and efficiency data, reveals surgeons and hospitals who provide the best value. Payers can use this information to create high-performance networks and inform their negotiation efforts. Self-insured employers and benefits consultants can also use the quality scores to identify excellent surgery providers and to create networks based on great outcomes. Encouraging employees to see top-performing surgeons may also lead to reduced costs, and less time lost to complications or lengthy recoveries. And with the MPIRICA Quality Score, primary care physicians can refer patients with confidence, knowing they have an evidence-based way to assess the referred surgeon’s outcomes." }, { "question": "What is the difference between the MPIRICA Quality Score for hospitals and that for individual physicians?", "answer": "The MPIRICA Quality Score uses the same data and methodology to rate both surgeons and hospitals. But surgeon scores focus on results from the individual surgeon, whereas hospital scores combine the results of every surgeon who operates there. This means that hospitals are only as good as the surgeons they host – and the only way to achieve a high MPIRICA Quality Score is to produce superior surgical outcomes." }, { "question": "How about \"bad\" or \"average\" scores?", "answer": "A score of around 600 represents average care at good performing facilities. Scores of 700 and above represent superior care. Scores of less than 400 represents substandard care. Small differences between scores may not be meaningful, but a greater difference between scores represents an increased degree of certainty that there’s a material difference in the quality of care being delivered. A high score doesn’t guarantee a favorable outcome and a low score doesn’t guarantee a poor outcome. However, lower scores indicate, based on historical performance, there is greater risk of having an unfavorable outcome resulting from the care delivered." }, { "question": "Can MPIRICA guarantee a safe outcome for a doctor with an 800 score?", "answer": "Every surgery comes with risks. Every procedure has a chance of failure. The unfortunate reality: no doctor, no facility, no company can guarantee a healthcare result. And no credible professional would ever try. Just like with the stock market or a baseball player’s batting average, past performance does not predict the future. But, with strong data and with smart analysis, MPIRICA can offer a reasonable evaluation of past performance to help make assessments. The MPIRICA Quality Score succinctly captures a hospital’s – or a surgeon’s – track record of success. So although MPIRICA can’t guarantee it, a surgeon with an 800 score has excellent odds of producing a desirable outcome. MPIRICA does not offer advice, only interpretations of past performance through the Quality Scores. Patients and caregivers should always seek advice from medical professionals when making healthcare decisions." }, { "question": "Why not patient review websites, or hospital websites themselves?", "answer": "Frequently, sites that rank hospitals and surgeons rely on patient reviews. But, these subjective submissions are not a reliable guide to quality. Patients can be biased by factors that have no relationship to outcomes – for instance, a hospital’s parking situation alone can swing reviews on Google. Patient ratings also have serious weaknesses. For one, patients who leave online reviews tend to have extreme positions. Patients who had a middling experience often don’t bother to speak up. Most reviews are either one- or five-star, and that gives an incomplete picture of a provider’s quality. And quality data published on hospital websites has a major flaw: bias. Hospital websites are, first and foremost, marketing operations. Their priority is to attract new patients. These websites are almost never outright deceitful – but they have strong incentives to highlight their facility’s strengths, and downplay their weaknesses. That’s why The MPIRICA Quality Score relies on clinical outcomes data to measure performance. It’s the best way to help patients (as well as payers) make clear-headed assessments about care." }, { "question": "Does MPIRICA use reliable data to calculate scores?", "answer": "MPIRICA currently uses data from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to inform the Quality Score. The primary dataset is called MedPAR (Medicare Provider and Analysis Review), which contains hospital final action stay records for all Medicare beneficiaries. There are 3 reasons behind this choice. 1 - CMS has the largest, broadest, most frequently used dataset available. The vast majority of hospitals in America participate in Medicare. That means CMS has more provider data than any other payer or agency in the country. It’s national in scope, accepting claims from hundreds of thousands of surgeons. Working at this scale, it takes CMS two years to process and release the data. So the most recent available outcomes results are currently at least 24 months old. But despite the lag-time, there’s simply no comparable database in the US. 2 - CMS has the most reliable database available in the country. Hospitals have strong financial incentives to give correct information to CMS. The data is standardized, making it easier to work with. It’s also audited regularly, and hospitals face stiff penalties if they misrepresent it – including prison sentences. The data is standardized and is more robust than most claims data available for analysis. It’s also available for virtually every hospital in the country, allowing for a national comparison of performance and making CMS data the best choice of data that is accessible. 3 - Surgeons who care well for Medicare patients tend to care well for all patients. MPIRICA’s data rates outcomes for Medicare patients over 65. This cohort of older Americans has more – and more complex – health problems than other groups in the country. Any surgeon that performs well with older, sicker patients will likely have good results with younger patients, too. Of course, more data across a wider patient population would strengthen the Quality Scores. MPIRICA invites all hospitals and insurance companies to provide their own clinical or claims data to fill in any gaps that may be left by using CMS data." }, { "question": "How does MPIRICA make sure that its rankings are fair?", "answer": "No two patients are alike. Every hospital serves unique populations. Sicker, frailer patients will be at greater risk for mortality, readmissions, or complications – regardless of the surgeon’s skill. A truly fair scoring system won’t penalize surgeons for taking on risky patients. Nor will it artificially reward hospitals for working with an affluent, healthy population. To level the playing field, MPIRICA’s physician-researchers created predictive risk models. They use over 500 risk factors to assess patient populations. These factors include broad demographic information like the patient’s birthplace, age, and gender. But they also go deeper into lifestyle factors, past diagnoses, and previous interventions. MPIRICA uses these data points to compute predicted outcomes for each provider. Based on their patient mix, every hospital and every surgeon will have an expected number of mortalities, readmissions, and complications. The Quality Score then rates providers based on how they perform against these predictions. This rigorous risk-adjustment practice helps ensure that every hospital and every surgeon gets a fair rating." }, { "question": "How is the MPIRICA Quality Score different from hospital ratings and quality information available on other websites?", "answer": "The MPIRICA Quality Score is based entirely on measures of actual medical outcomes supported by real data. This means the Score is grounded in data – not opinions. The MPIRICA Quality Score is risk-adjusted at the patient level using sophisticated predictive modeling techniques. This ensures that the MPIRICA Quality Score reflects the actual quality of care – rather than the complexity of individual patients. The Score incorporates measures like severe complications and mortality while patients are in the hospital, as well as readmission rates and mortality over a 90-day period after discharge. ER visits are taken into account for outpatient procedures. Hospital or physician performance on these three components are individually weighted, scaled, and aggregated to produce a single score between 100 and 800 (similar to a credit score) that consumers can use to compare different hospitals or surgeons that are being evaluated. Check our methodology page for additional information." }, { "question": "Why are they the best team for this job?", "answer": "In 2014, MPIRICA’s founder and CEO Shakil Haroon had a sick family member living overseas, who needed advanced surgery. He wanted to find the best possible hospital for the procedure. An engineer by training, Shakil was most interested in the data backing up hospital claims of offering best-in-class care. But that proved much more challenging than he thought. After several frustrating weeks of research, Shakil realized – this shouldn’t be so hard. That’s how he got his vision for the MPIRICA Quality Score. Shakil wanted to give patients an easy, reliable way to find high-quality surgical care. So he assembled a founding team to empower patients and payers, using the best research available. He sought out and engaged a team of doctors and statisticians at MPA Healthcare Solutions, who had researched the same problem for nearly 30 years.

[ { "question": "Q: What if pain in the ball of my foot shoots into the toes?", "answer": "A: A common cause for this type of pain in the ball of the foot is a condition known as a neuroma, which is basically a pinched, inflamed nerve at the ball of the foot. It can be aggravated by tight-fitting shoes, squatting, and walking barefooted, especially on hard surfaces. A (nicely given) cortisone injection can relieve the pain and inflammation. Prescription shoe inserts called “orthotics” with special padding to relieve pressure from the balls of the feet are extremely helpful, long-term. There is another type of injection that can permanently put the nerve to sleep if cortisone does not provide enough relief." } ]

[ { "question": "Is that ok, if it sounds good and the mix doesnt have problems??", "answer": "Hi from Bob. RMS level is only one measure of the song. How it sounds and how it dances is just as important. Knowing the RMS level without also knowing the crest factor tells you nothing. Apparently the crest factor (measured using flat RMS) of your tracks is between 17 and 13 dB, which measurably is excellent. But of course crest factor just gives you an indication that you’ve got some snappy transients, but it doesn’t tell you about the punch and the sound. You need to listen, to evaluate the liveliness and movement of the track to your ear, its balance, rhythm, and the arrangement of the song itself. How it sounds on the dance floor and translates to different types of speakers. I suggest you get a true loudness meter that conforms with the EBU standard, like the TC Electronic Radar or the Grimm LevelView, or, when it is released, a K-system meter that is weighted to the ITU weighting. In answer to your question, in these days of the loudness race, you probably cannot successfully release a dance track whose average program loudness (measured on an EBU meter) is -17 LUFS, simply because it will confuse the hell out of the DJs, who don’t understand the issues much at all. They’ll think it’s way too low. And competitively speaking, it doesn’t have a ghost of a chance in today’s competitive environment. But all is not lost! First of all, if it doesn’t dance because it’s so hot that there is not enough bounce or crest factor, it’s even worse than being too low. A good mastering engineer should be able to make a “reasonably competitive” dance track with an average loudness of around (I estimate) -12 LUFS that won’t be rejected and dances and bounces better than anything hotter than that. Let me know if you find a DJ who rejects a great-sounding track with -12 LUFS average loudness, I still think there’s plenty of room for that in the dance field. I hope I’m not wrong, I’ve had success with it (so far)." } ]

[ { "question": "How does Thunderhead ensure it complies with the GDPR?", "answer": "Thunderhead has worked diligently with its legal counsel and industry experts to ensure it understands its primary role as a data processor (i.e. the entity processing personal data on behalf of its customers) in respect of its core business activities. We have trained our workforce on GDPR requirements and conducted a detailed data mapping exercise to understand exactly how the GDPR will affect our core business. As a result of this exercise, we have produced a GDPR compliant Data Processing Addendum to give our clients piece of mind that we process their personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation along with updated Data Protection and Security, Cookie, and Privacy policies to show what technical and organizational measures we implement." }, { "question": "Does Thunderhead ensure it implements privacy by design practices?", "answer": "Yes. Thunderhead adopts measures to ensure that it considers and integrates data compliance measures into our data processing activities, and product development where we introduce a new technology or a new data processing activity." }, { "question": "Does Thunderhead transfer data outside the EU?", "answer": "Where our customer is based inside the EU, Thunderhead does not transfer personal data to any country outside of the EU without prior written consent from the customer, except for transfers to and from: (i) any country which has a valid adequacy decision from the European Commission (which guarantees appropriate safeguards are already in place); or (ii) any organization which ensures an adequate level of protection in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and regulations." }, { "question": "When we use the Thunderhead services, what role does Thunderhead play in respect of processing personal data about our customers?", "answer": "In respect of its core business activities, Thunderhead acts as a “data processor”, which means we only process personal data on behalf of our clients and act on their instructions. Our clients are “the data controller”, which means they determine the purpose and manner in which any personal data is processed. As a data processor, Thunderhead must assist its clients to fulfill their obligations under the GDPR." }, { "question": "What are my responsibilities when using Thunderhead services?", "answer": "Our clients are “the data controller”, which means they are responsible for the collection, accuracy, quality, and legality of Personal Data (e.g., ONE customers are responsible for managing opt-in/out status and consent) and the means by which they acquire Personal Data. For example, when establishing the legal basis for collecting personal data, controllers may need to evaluate if the basis falls under “Consent” or “Legitimate Interest.” If using consent as a basis, the controller will need to have clear policies that inform individuals why data is being collected, how the data will be used, their rights, and how the data will be shared so they can make an informed decision. Legitimate interest is more flexible than the other GDPR lawful basis for processing and is commonly used for activities such as marketing where there would be a minimal privacy impact to individuals and the marketing would be of interest to the individuals." }, { "question": "If my company operates outside the EU, does the GDPR still apply to me?", "answer": "GDPR Article 3 “Territorial Scope” establishes that the GDPR applies to organizations outside the EU if that organization is processing personal data in relation to the offering of goods or services to individuals in the EU or monitoring their behaviour in the EU. Given the global nature of online activity, this extra-territorial effect is likely to capture a number of non-EU companies. For example, a company based outside of the EU that is targeting a specific demographic outside of the EU and is not explicitly marketing its services to EU residents may not necessarily be subject to the GDPR. Conversely, if the same company were to update its website to include EU language translations or international options for payment or contact, it may meet the criterion to comply with the GDPR. If unsure, we recommend obtaining expert legal counsel to avoid potential GDPR compliance issues." }, { "question": "How does Thunderhead help its customers be compliant with the GDPR when using the ONE Engagement Hub?", "answer": "The Thunderhead services ensure that control over personal data rests with the client to easily identify what personal data we are processing and respond to any requests from customers as and when required." }, { "question": "What are Thunderhead’s data retention periods and can I specify new limits?", "answer": "Under normal usage all customer data has a natural 13 month expiration date in the system. Refreshing or updating that data will reset the retention period. Thunderhead services allow you to completely remove data from ONE for a specific customer identifier on-demand. After termination of our services, Thunderhead’s standard policy without exception is to provide a 30 day period for its customers to retrieve any customer data submitted via the Thunderhead services. The data is then securely overwritten or deleted." }, { "question": "Can I request that previously collected EU citizen data be erased?", "answer": "There is no prohibition on processing EU citizens’ personal data. The GDPR does not require organizations to delete data which they currently hold on EU citizens if clear and specific consent was given to process the data. If you want to erase EU citizen data, you can do so on a case-by-case basis using the ONE API. Please contact us to discuss options for bulk erasure." }, { "question": "How can I support an individual’s right to be forgotten?", "answer": "If you receive a right to be forgotten from one of your customers, the Thunderhead services allow you to erase the relevant data which has been submitted via the Thunderhead services. ONE provides a simple facility to completely remove data from ONE for a specific customer identifier. Therefore, as and when a customer issues a request to be forgotten, the brand simply needs to ensure that the removal process includes triggering the deletion of customer data from ONE for that individual. This can be as part of a manual process or triggered through an automated API call to ONE. ONE customers are responsible for managing opt-in/out status and consent after removal." }, { "question": "Does using Thunderhead’s services result in “profiling” and does that require special consent from our customers?", "answer": "Profiling is defined broadly as “any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict certain aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situations, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movement”, which would include the Thunderhead services. However, the GDPR does NOT prohibit profiling as long as there is a lawful basis for it. What the GDPR does prohibit is using profiling to make automated decisions without an individual’s consent that would result in legal or similarly significant effects to the individual. Customers should be informed of the existence and consequence of profiling (which can be achieved via your privacy and cookies policy) and any automated decisions made from such profiling activity. Individuals have a right to object to profiling and not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing which results in legal effects concerning that individual. An advertising campaign, for instance, would typically not be considered a form of “automated decision making” that would have legal effects on an individual in contrast to an automatic refusal of an online credit application without human intervention." }, { "question": "How can I support a right of data access and/or data portability request?", "answer": "Customers should submit a service “ticket” to Thunderhead when a data subject makes a request. Taking into account the nature of the Processing, Thunderhead shall assist customers by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is reasonably possible and technically feasible, for the fulfilment of customer’s obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws and Regulations." }, { "question": "Does this mean I can no longer use anonymized data to provide useful analytics regarding our customers’ use of our website and apps?", "answer": "No. If the data you are processing is truly anonymized, the GDPR does not apply and you can use such data freely." }, { "question": "Where can I find more information about the GDPR and who do I contact if I have further questions?", "answer": "To learn more about the GDPR and how it applies to you, you can visit the official EU Commission’s website.
