Setup of all products and changes to website content is the store owner’s responsibility. The choice of what you sell will be totally up to you! It is a very simple process to add products to your website. Beware of websites that are sold ‘pre-loaded’ with products as this would suggest an affiliate arrangement, where you are paid only a small commission for sales, or that the business selling you the website is being paid as an affiliate. Beware of websites being sold ‘pre-loaded’ with products, as this would also suggest the same websites being sold with exactly the same products loaded, over and over again. This is not a profitable business model. Choosing your own products and suppliers, and adding your own products to your own store ensures that your business, and the products that you are selling are ‘unique’. This provides you with a profitable and flexible business model. This depends on the suppliers that you choose to use. Generally all products come with a 30 day money back guarantee. The suppliers will provide and make available;- a full refund or exchange / replacement of goods or whatever the customer wants!. All products are sold with a warranty that ensures customers receive them in perfect working order! Products also come with an additional Manufacturer’s Warranty/Guarantee (just the same as when you purchase from a retail store). You will see individual product warranties listed in product descriptions and/or listed on supplier’s websites. Products offer anything from 12 months warranty to 3 years warranty. Paypal also provides built in buyer and seller protection. In the event that a supplier did not provide a refund/exchange etc, a claim can be made through Paypal for a full refund of the purchase amount. Unlimited!

With over 4.5 million products to choose from, there isn’t any way that another store would choose to use exactly the same suppliers, and/or select exactly the same products as another. You also add your own personal touches and additions to your own website. Ready-made websites are already setup and are sold to you exactly as you see them listed. You will need to allow 1-2 working days for your website and domain name transfers to be completed. Custom Designed Websites take 7-10 working days to be completed from start to finish. You can start browsing all of the different suppliers and listing products for sale on your website as soon as the transfers of ownerships are complete! You receive access to all of our suppliers and access to our entire suppliers network in your Website Instruction Package. It’s simply a matter of browsing the suppliers and choosing which products you would like to sell in your store. Suppliers accept payment by BPay, Credit Card / Visa / Mastercard and also by Paypal. You can start placing orders with any of the suppliers straight away. You do not require an ABN No. to purchase a website, or to order from Drop Shipping Suppliers. However, we do recommend that you get one, as it’s free and you can apply online at any time. It gives your customers confidence to see that you have an ABN No. when they purchase from your store.

{
"question": "What days/times are games played?",
"answer": "Games are normally played on Saturday mornings between 9 and 12. In July, we also schedule Thursday evening games instead of practice. The summer rugby season last from 6-8 weeks depending on when practice starts and when the last game is held."
},
{
"question": "Who will we be playing against?",
"answer": "We will be playing against other youth rugby clubs in northern Virginia. There are about 10 youth rugby clubs in northern Virginia - MYA (McLean), VYI (Vienna/Oakton), CYA (Chantilly), SYA (Centreville, Clifton), FPYC (Fairfax), BRYC (Burke), SYC (Springfield), FHYAA (Fort Hunt/Mount Vernon), Alexandria (city), and Winchester. None of these are very far away especially on a Saturday morning, and we can play against most of them on a Thursday evening. In years past, it was common to play against a few teams from Maryland, and depending on how each team does with their registrations, we may have to schedule one or two of the nearby Maryland teams (Bowie, Silver Spring, Burtonsville). The season ends for most clubs with the Potomac Rugby Union Youth League tournament on the first weekend in August."
},
{
"question": "Since we play against other clubs, isn’t this like a travel team?",
"answer": "We don’t think of it like that since we are not selecting a group of players based on ability. Our playing other clubs is necessitated by the fact that few of us have enough players to have a completely in-house league."
},
{
"question": "Do the players play equal time in a game, or do some players play \"second string\"?",
"answer": "The Potomac Rugby Union Youth League encourages all coaches to give as nearly equal time to all players. Each youth club may have their own rules in this regard. The coaching philosophy of the Positive Coaching Alliance, of which some coaches are members, also encourages equal time for all players."

{
"question": "What should I do to protect my pet from the sun?",
"answer": "An ideal sunscreen would block the majority of UVA and UVB rays with active ingredients that do not break down in the sun, so that the product remains effective. It would also contain only active and inactive ingredients that are proven to be completely safe for both adults and children. No sunscreen on the U.S. market meets all these criteria and consumers have no simple way to know how well a given product stacks up. That’s why EWG created this guide to safer and more effective sunscreens. No. Sunscreens can only provide partial protection against the harmful effects of the sun. Limiting sun exposure and wearing protective clothing are more important for protecting your skin from cancer and premature aging. Be extra careful about spending time in the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are most intense. And remember that UVA radiation doesn’t decline as much as UVB when the sun is lower in the sky or it’s overcast. UVA rays can even penetrate glass. Apply sunscreen generously 30 minutes before going outside and reapply it often – at least every two hours. Even the best sunscreen won’t work well if you don’t use it correctly. No. After a 34-year process of reviewing sunscreen safety and efficacy, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented enforceable rules on sunscreen marketing and UVA protection. The FDA allows American sunscreen makers to claim their products are “broad spectrum,” even though many offer much poorer UVA protection than sunscreens sold in other countries. Based on the products in our 2018 database, EWG estimates that half of all beach and sport sunscreens could not be sold in Europe because they provide inadequate UVA protection. Manufacturers there voluntarily comply with a European Commission recommendation that all sunscreens provide meaningful UVA protection in relation to SPF. FDA rules do not bar products with sky-high SPFs that prevent sunburn but leave users at risk of UVA-related skin damage. The agency currently allows sales of spray sunscreens that can be harmful when inhaled, but is investigating their safety. The FDA has barred powder sunscreens. Since kids are more vulnerable to damage caused by the sun and to the harmful effects of chemical exposure, they should use a sunscreen rated highly for safety and effective protection from UVA and UVB radiation. If your child plans to swim and play in the water, look for a water-resistant sunscreen, but don’t believe any claim that a sunscreen is water-repellent. Don’t buy sprays or products with bug repellent. Apply sunscreen generously before children go outside, and reapply it often. Infants under six months need special protection – a fair-skinned baby does not yet have protective melanin proteins and needs to be kept out of the sun. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you avoid using sunscreens on children younger than six months unless you can’t find protective shade and clothing. In that situation you can apply a minimal amount of sunscreen to exposed skin (AAP 2008). Sunscreen is just one part of a sun-healthy lifestyle. Limiting sun exposure and wearing protective clothing are more important. Follow the advice of the American Cancer Society and put on sunscreen early, regularly and generously. Apply it 30 minutes before going outside and at least every two hours thereafter. Reapply it after being in the water, sweating a lot or towel drying, since all of these activities can remove sunscreen. (One study indicates that it’s best to reapply your sunscreen after the first 15 to 30 minutes in the sun.) Don’t skimp on sunscreen. Studies have shown that people typically apply only one-fourth to two-thirds of the amount required to achieve the product’s SPF rating. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends applying one ounce — about a palm-full – evenly to all exposed skin. The principle forms of ultraviolet radiation – UVA and UVB – are known to contribute to skin cancer, wrinkling and skin aging. To get the most protection, use a product that filters out a significant proportion of both types. All sunscreens protect against UVB rays, but only some protect against UVA. Many American sunscreens bear labels that boast “broad spectrum” protection, but their UVA protection is often inadequate. You can tell how effectively a particular sunscreen protects skin from sunburn by the SPF number – the higher the number, the stronger the protection. But SPF values tell you little about UVA protection. The FDA’s rules for broad-spectrum sunscreens are too weak. In 2017, EWG estimated that 99 percent of all sunscreens on the market could legally use the “broad spectrum” label even though many provide inadequate UVA protection. There are critical differences among sunscreens, but you can’t find out enough just by reading the label. This is one of the primary reasons EWG created its sunscreen guide – to give consumers much-needed information about how effectively their sunscreen blocks both types of harmful radiation. Starting in 2013, products that met the broad spectrum standard were allowed to make this claim: “If used as directed with other sun protection measures (see Directions), decreases the risk of skin cancer and early aging caused by the sun” (FDA 2011a). SPF measures protection against sunburn, which is primarily caused by UVB rays. If your skin would normally burn after 10 minutes in the summer midday sun, for example, wearing a thick layer of an SPF 15 sunscreen would theoretically allow you to stay in the sun for 150 minutes (10 x 15) without burning. That’s only a rough estimate. Skin type, the nature of your activities in the sun (e.g., whether they involve water or sweat) and the intensity of sunlight may affect how much safety it gives you. But SPF ratings can be confusing or misleading. People rarely apply enough sunscreen to achieve the labeled SPF. The numbers do not reflect UVA protection. The FDA has warned that high-SPF products can create a false sense of security, contain higher concentrations of allergenic or irritating ingredients, and offer little additional sun protection (Branna 2011). Pick the SPF appropriate for your skin type and expected time in the sun. UVA protection in American sunscreens maxes out at about 15 to 20. Higher SPF products will not offer proportionally higher protection. The American Cancer Society recommends that people use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, while the American Academy of Dermatology opts for 30. EWG recommends that you avoid sunscreens with SPF numbers higher than 50. More important than ultra-high SPF numbers is applying sunscreen generously. Most people put on only one quarter to two-thirds as much as it takes to achieve the product’s SPF rating (Diaz 2012, Grosick 2004). The active ingredients in sunscreens absorb, reflect or scatter ultraviolet radiation, changing the skin’s response to sunlight. Sunscreens typically contain a combination of chemicals known to be effective for certain wavelengths of UV light. Some chemicals work better than others, as do some combinations of active ingredients. For years, manufacturers created sunscreens that were only effective at screening out UVB radiation – the type of rays that cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer. More recently, scientists realized that UVA radiation is also harmful, so sunscreen manufacturers have attempted to create sunscreens that protect skin from both UVB and UVA radiation. Many American sunscreens lack strong UVA protection, due to restrictions and weak rules on available ingredients. Controlled studies comparing sunscreen users with non-users find that sunscreens reduce the risk of squamous cell carcinoma, but not basal cell carcinoma. The evidence on melanoma, the most dangerous skin cancer, is mixed. Despite greater sunscreen use and sun awareness, the rates of new melanoma cases among American men, women and children continue to climb. Most experts recommend that people use sunscreen but do not rely on it exclusively to prevent sun damage (NCI 2007, van der Pols 2006, Green 1999). EWG does not recommend powder and spray sunscreens because of concerns about inhalation and inadequate sun protection. The FDA is reviewing safety and efficacy data on sprays. In its 2011 sunscreen rules, implemented in December 2012, the agency decided that powdered sunscreens should no longer be sold under the current over-the-counter sunscreen rules and should be subject to the more rigorous new drug application process (FDA 2011a, 2011b). EWG is especially concerned about inhalation of nano-sized and micronized zinc and titanium in powdered sunscreens and makeup products. Inhalation is a much more direct route of exposure to these compounds than skin penetration, which appears to be low in healthy skin. If you want the benefits of a mineral sunscreen, choose a zinc- or titanium-based lotion. If you use a pump or spray sunscreen, lower your inhalation risk by applying it to your hands and then wiping it on your face. EWG recommends against using them. For starters, bugs may not be a problem during the hours that UV exposure peaks. Also, you may need to reapply sunscreen more frequently than bug repellent, or vice versa. It’s wise to avoid using repellent chemicals on your face. Most worrisome of all, sunscreens often contain penetration enhancers, which help chemicals soak into the skin. Studies indicate that concurrent use of sunscreens and pesticides leads to increased skin absorption of pesticides (Wang 2006, Wang 2007). The FDA is studying the safety of sunscreens with insect repellents and is considering new labeling requirements, but it hasn’t reached a conclusion. With proper use of an SPF 30 sunscreen, theoretically, you should be able to endure 30 times more sun exposure before burning than if you were not wearing sunscreen. Proper use means that you apply sunscreen 20 to 30 minutes before being exposed to the sun, you apply about one ounce or more over your entire body (that’s more than you think!) and you reapply it frequently. Reapply every two hours and after swimming, sweating or toweling off. Many studies show that consumers apply only a quarter to half the recommended amount of lotion. That means that an SPF 50 product will act more like SPF 7, and you are more likely to come home from the beach with a sunburn. Chemical-based sunscreens will break down in the sun and lose their effectiveness over time. Normal swimming, toweling and sweating will also remove sunscreen. At the end of the day, warm water and soap are best for getting sunscreen off your skin. Animals can get sunburned and even get skin cancer, especially where they don’t have fur or hair. Avoiding peak sun intensity between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is the best strategy. The American Animal Hospital Association cautions that only fragrance-free, pet-specific sun products should be used on animals. Grooming behaviors put cats at greater risk of swallowing harmful ingredients in sunscreens (Rainey 2009). EWG recommends that consumers avoid sunscreen with vitamin A, also called “retinyl palmitate” on the label. Data from a study by scientists at the FDA and the National Toxicology Panel (NTP 2012) showed that retinyl palmitate may speed the growth of skin tumors when applied to skin in the presence of sunlight. The German and Norwegian governments have warned that many people are exposed to excessive amounts of vitamin A and that personal care products contribute to this problem. People who want to limit their exposure to vitamin A should avoid retinyl palmitate, retinoic acid, retinyl lineolate and retinyl acetate in sunscreens, lotions, lip products and other leave-on cosmetics until more information is available about their safety on skin."

By leaving insurance out of the exam room, Dr. Urick is able to keep the practice size limited to less than 500-600 patients. *** If you have HMO insurance and your insurance requires you to have a PCP listed on your card, check with your insurer. If you need referrals to specialists, I may not be able to do those for you due to HMO regulation."

In most concierge practices, patients are charged a monthly retainer (average $1650/year as with MDVIP) and their insurance is billed for office visits (copays, consult fees, etc). They also cannot dispense medication from their office at wholesale prices - the savings of which are passed on to the patient."
},
{
"question": "how do I benefit if i already have health insurance ?",
"answer": "TIME - Dr. Urick can offer you what most traditional medical practices cannot offer. Most practices have to see 20-25 patients each day and cannot fit you in to their schedule. If they do - they only have on average 7-15 minutes for you. We won't refer you to urgent care where you are likely to receive less than optimal care. They are profit-centered and not patient centered. In retail medicine you are likely to be misdiagnosed because they do not have access to all of your medical records and there is no time to review your records. Some patients may still wish to use their health insurance to cover laboratory testing, imaging (like X-rays), physical therapy or home health care. If the lab prices/testing prices negotiated by My Way Medical are less than the cost with your insurance then feel free to use our prices! Those on High deductible health insurance plans may need to spend several thousand dollars until their insurance would kick in. In these cases, the pricing negotiated by My Way Medical could potentially save you money."
},
{
"question": "Will you ever ask for my health insurance card ?",
"answer": "Yes, but only if your health insurance will cover blood work, CT Scan/MRI at a lower or more affordable price than the ones negotiated by My Way Medical. My Way Medical would need to obtain authorization for testing, which requires your insurance information."
},
{
"question": "what ages will my way medical treat ?",
"answer": "Dr. Urick is a board certified Internal Medicine Physician, trained in adult medicine, and will treat ages 18 and older."
},
{
"question": "If I am a patient on medicare /MEDICAID, how will this affect me ?",
"answer": "It is not that Dr. Urick does not want to take Medicaid patients, it is that he is not contracted with these insurances and is considered \"out of network\". The Government states that if you are entitled to benefits from Medicaid that you must use their provided benefits."
},
{
"question": "What medications will not be prescribed ?",
"answer": "Dr. Urick will work to address all of your needs as any primary care physician would. Dr. Urick believes that chronic pain with opiate/narcotic pain medication is best treated by Pain Management Physicians and will not prescribe or refill these controlled substances under any circumstance. For ADHD, Dr. Urick believes that this should be managed by an appropriate specialist and referrals can be arranged for you. No stimulant medication (e.g. Adderall, Ritalin) will be prescribed/refilled."
},
{
"question": "DO YOU TAKE PATIENTS FOR A ONE TIME VISIT ?",
"answer": "We do not take one-time visits. We are not an urgent care but rather a practice that aims to build a relationship with patients. There are several local urgent cares for non-members who have sick needs."

By default, you will be allowed 2gb of disk space and unlimited bandwidth. We will monitor how much space is being used and how much is needed and we may adjust the amount of disk space if it become necessary. If your website starts to use to many resources, then we may need to talk about a more powerful hosting option for your needs. please note: This hosting option has never been insufficient for any of our clients. We are confident it will be sufficient for your needs and if it is not, we can talk about what to do next with your hosting. We are here for you and to help you to reach your goals. A domain name that describes you or your business and what it is all about is important for success. For example, the eXPERt branding solutions website you are looking at right now has the word branding in it so you can see what it is about. As part of the branding process, we will research the best possible domain name for your situation. We will give you recommendations and you may choose from these. If you are set on a name that is not recommended by us, that is fine, just realize that the branding process could be inhibited by a bad domain name. Your branding package includes an annual domain name registration. You may choose any available .com, .net, .org, or .biz domain name that is available in our system. If you already have a domain name that you are using or would like to use then we can easily change your name servers to point to your new hosting account that you will have with Vettore Media, LLC. The more that the internet is flooded with positive things about your business, the better the chances are that when people are searching for you, your business, or what you offer that they are going to find just that. By having extra websites built that are highly targeted in their purpose and their content and linking them to each other, to your main website, and your social media, we in essence are building a little network that is all about you or your business and we are flooding the internet with it. This is a great way to increase occurrences of the desired main keyword phrase that we will be optimizing everything for.

You will receive the indicated number of reports every month as well so you can see the progress for yourself. Based on the results of the reports that we will generate, we will make needed adjustments on and off of your website as needed. For example, if we see in a monthly report that we need to increase the number of keywords in your content and that you could benefit from another link or two, we will do that in response to the report. The number of reports you will receive and adjustments we will make is equal to the number included in your plan. For example, if you have a monthly report included in your plan, you will get one report per month and we will make needed adjustments once per month as needed in response to the report. If you have Bi-weekly reports then you will receive two reports per month and we will make adjustments twice per month as needed, etc. You will receive the indicated number of SEO reports per month according to your plan.

The press release will be written and include content about you or your business. We will be in contact with you to determine what new news there may be that we could include in the press release. Once the press release is complete, we will submit it to major news agencies. There will be a possibility that a news outlet may choose to contact you for more information. Press releases remain a great way to get information out to the public and can produce great results as we work on reaching your goals.

"question": "What is the meaning of all those hammer decals on Joe's Red Ryder truck?",
"answer": "Direct sun and 80 degrees and above can make shingles more delicate. You can walk on the roof when it's hotter but be careful. Walk gingerly. Don't twist your feet back and forth. In heat, the shingles get soft and damage, scuff, scar more easily. The hotter it gets, the easier it is to damage them. When roofers roof in hot weather, they should put plywood scraps where they are installing so the new shingles don't get damaged. Move the plywood scraps as you progress on the roof. I used to make a plywood scrap trail from the ladder to the work area and rearrange as necessary. Just takes a minute. Also if painters or chimney sweeps are on your roof in hot weather, have them put plywood scraps on the shingles by where they are working."

"question": "Is a raised access floor necessary?",
"answer": "Yes, the raised access floor creates the plenum which is used as the ventilation zone for air circulation and distribution."
},
{
"question": "Can UFAC be used with any raised access floor?",
"answer": "Most raised access floor systems with a robust substructure are suitable, but pedestals and stringers must be checked to ensure compatibility."
},
{
"question": "What is the minimum floor void depth required?",
"answer": "A floor depth of 300 mm is required for a standard AET TU-4 Fantile, or as low as 180 mm is possible with the slimline TU-S Fantile."
},
{
"question": "Do high heeled shoes get trapped between the bars of the grilles?",
"answer": "The grilles have been designed to stop pens and pencils falling through. The nominal gap between the bars is 6.3mm / 6.4mm and can be walked upon with most high heel shoes."
},
{
"question": "Is there reduced lettable space due to the zonal units?",
"answer": "Compared to the area taken up by the large air ducts of an air only system, the loss of lettable space is less with AET Flexible Space."
},
{
"question": "How much cooling is available from CAM's?",
"answer": "Cooling depends on space temperatures, water temperatures, water flows etc but generally the AET Flexible Space system can accommodate loads of up to 200 W/sq m. AET will select CAM’s and specify the number of Fantiles required."
},

"question": "Do the Fantiles cause draughts?",
"answer": "If the fan terminals are correctly located, draughts will not be an issue for users."
},
{
"question": "Do the floor terminals get dusty and dirty?",

},
{
"question": "How is the floor void channelled into supply and return air paths?",
"answer": "A fire resistant air segregation baffle made from silicone cloth is installed in the void to create supply and return air paths. UFAC systems are generally more expensive then Fan Coil units and cheaper than conventional ceiling based VAV systems. When considering total cost of construction UFAC systems are typically more economical."
},
{
"question": "Is there a risk of condensation in humid climates?",
"answer": "The system have operated in a wide range of climatic conditions from -20°C and +50°C and condensation has not been found to be a problem. As there is little or no ductwork in underfloor plenums the noise generated can be substantially less than that from a conventional ducted system. Sound transmission or cross talk between offices can be a concern but this can be minimised with the correct choice of partition and quality of seals. Additional sound baffles can be installed in ceiling voids."
},
{
"question": "How does the slab thermal mass effect UFAC systems?",
"answer": "After the initial thermal mass has charged and the building has settled, it may be possible to run the system for less hours due to the thermal flywheel effect. Free cooling may also be implemented where suitable outside temperatures exist."
},
{
"question": "Are there any specific fire safety measures required?",
"answer": "Each country has their own fire safety measures for underfloor plenum. Most floor tiles meet fire rating requirements and generally applicable codes state that placing wires and cabling in an air supply plenum is not a problem where they are placed inside a conduit or rated to be non-combustable.

https://www.bedbugsupply.com/blog/faq/what-causes-bed-bugs/ | [
{
"question": "FAQ: What causes bed bugs?",
"answer": "A common question we receive through phone calls, emails, and blog discussion is “what causes bed bugs?” People that have infestations are usually experiencing bed bugs for the first time in their life, due to bed bugs experiencing a fairly recent resurgence in North America. It can be frustrating to have an infestation but not understand where it may have come from. There are also many myths and misconceptions about bed bugs that promote a stigma on people who are suffering from them. After their near eradication in the middle of the 20th century, bed bugs were reduced to mostly appearing in developing countries, like in Africa and the Middle East. However, a sharp rise in the popularity of transcontinental travel – coupled with resistance to most contemporary insecticides – allowed bed bugs to return in strength to developed countries around the world. They are now rapidly spreading across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, among other Western nations. Contrary to popular belief, cleanliness of living conditions has nothing to do with the likelihood of a bed bug infestation. They are found daily anywhere from motels to mansions. Anywhere where people sleep and travel is fair game. Bed bugs are most often encountered for the first time in a place of public frequenting, like an airport, train, or hotel. Another misconception about bed bugs is how they spread from person to person. People like to compare bed bugs to fleas or ticks, picturing them as jumping bugs that crawl all over an infested person, looking for a passerby to hop onto. The fact is that bed bugs can’t jump or fly, and aren’t really that nimble. They spread through more subtle, but equally effective, means of travel. Bed bugs are most commonly transported via luggage, after climbing into them in a hotel or airport. Once they’ve tucked into a dark hiding place, all they have to do is sit back and relax as their unsuspecting chauffeur sweeps them off to their new feeding ground, hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Business-class travel isn’t a bed bug’s only method of house-swapping. It’s also very common for them to spread between units of an infested apartment complex, usually through the walls via peeling wallpaper, electrical outlets, and other wall voids. While moving from person to person through contact isn’t a bed bug’s specialty, it’s not unheard of."
},
{
"question": "What can I do to prevent bed bugs?",
"answer": "You’re probably a bit more scared of bed bugs now than before you started reading this article. That’s really a good thing: it means you have a desire and interest to take some simple preventative measures to hopefully avoid bringing a bed bug infestation (or reinfestation!) home. Prevention starts as soon as you arrive to your hotel. Leave your luggage in the car, or keep them in the bathroom, to reduce the likelihood of bed bugs finding and hiding in them. Inspect all over your hotel room for signs of recent bed bug activity. When you arrive home, launder your clothes immediately on high heat settings, and treat the rest of your luggage with a portable bed bug heater. For more details on common prevention methods, check out our handy bed bug prevention guide."

https://www.besthealthdegrees.com/faq/how-do-you-become-a-nurse-practitioner | [
{
"question": "How do you become a nurse practitioner?",
"answer": "Straddling the professional worlds of nurses and doctors, nurse practitioners dedicate at least six years to academically rigorous study at an accredited college or university. After earning their master’s degree, they must also pass a state licensing exam. Established in the 1960s to help alleviate a national physician shortage, nurse practitioners have been caring for patients for nearly half a century, according to the Mayo Clinic. Trained to deliver the basic health care that the majority of patients require, nurse practitioners are among the most educated nursing professionals. They are capable of taking health histories, performing physical exams, understanding lab results and diagnosing many common health problems. They can also counsel patients about healthy lifestyle choices and refer them to other doctors or specialists. The ability of nurse practitioners to prescribe medication and practice independently varies from state to state. In some states, nurse practitioners are allowed to treat patients without direct oversight. Other states require nurse practitioners to work under a doctor who must approve their recommendations and actions."
},
{
"question": "Is a Nurse Practitioner Also a Nurse?",
"answer": "Because of the educational requirements for nurse practitioners, they are also nurses. In fact, nurse practitioners are also known as advance practice regular nurses. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from an accredited college or university is the first step to becoming a nurse practitioner. After earning their bachelor’s degree, they are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses and apply for licensure as registered nurses. Many aspiring nurse practitioners work as nurses while continuing their education at the graduate level."
},
{
"question": "What Qualifications are Required to Become a Nurse Practitioner?",
"answer": "Although the exact requirements vary from state to state, nurse practitioners are generally required to hold a master’s degree in nursing. While some programs can be completed in a year, most take two to four years to complete, because of their combination of academic coursework and hands-on clinical work. During their studies, aspiring nurse practitioners choose an area of specialization. Primary care, pediatrics, cardiology, dermatology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, oncology, gastroenterology, and gerontology are popular options. Once students have obtained their master’s degrees, they must pass the licensing exam before they can begin practicing. They may also choose to seek certification from the board that oversees their specialty or from professional groups like the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. According to U.S. News and World Report, which ranked nurse practitioner as fourth on its list of “Best Jobs of 2014,” the median annual salary for nurse practitioners is almost $90,000. The majority find positions in doctor’s offices, clinics and hospitals. As is often the case in the medical field, working as a nurse practitioner can be a demanding, high-stress job. Nurse practitioners also need to be prepared for some confusion over their status. Many report occasional unpleasant encounters with medical doctors who make it clear that they do not consider nurse practitioners to be their professional peers. However, with regular opportunities to help a patient in need feel better, working as a nurse practitioner is also rewarding. Skyrocketing demands for health care are creating jobs throughout the industry. Like most medical professionals, nurse practitioners are in demand. A person willing to put in the hard work necessary to become a nurse practitioner will discover a multitude of opportunities to practice this challenging profession."

{
"question": "What Kinds of Master's Degree Programs Are Available in Economics?",
"answer": "Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) programs in economics and applied economics are most commonly available. Specializations are also offered in agricultural, environmental, transportation, health or business economics. Most programs will require you to study microeconomics and international economic policies, as well as the political aspects of economics. Many graduate degree programs include classes in both economic theory and application. For example, you might learn how to use economic principles to provide consulting advice to companies or chart trends in the public's views of the nation's economy. Some schools require you to complete a thesis focused on a particular economics specialization. Programs usually require that you have a bachelor's degree in economics or a related field before applying. Some schools set a minimum undergraduate GPA requirement. You typically also must have taken microeconomic and macroeconomic theory courses, as well as math classes like calculus and statistics. You can find online master's degree programs in applied economics and economic development. There are also several programs that offer classes in the evenings or on the weekends for working professionals. Some online programs include an internship experience, so that you can work more closely with other economists in the field. Many online programs contain asynchronous classes that communicate via discussion boards, but there are also programs where Web classes are presented at a specific time. For these courses, you might need a webcam, headphones and a microphone. Some online programs also have timed exams that you must complete by a set date. A cable Internet connection is often preferred for effective online participation. With a master's degree in the field of economics, you could work for the government or a strategic planning company. Consulting firms also hire economists as part of their teams to evaluate effective business systems. You might choose to further your studies by pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in economics if you're interested in becoming a college professor. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), economist jobs were expected to increase by six percent from 2014-2024, which was as fast as the average for other job fields (www.bls.gov). However, more economists were expected to become employed in positions such as public policy consultant, financial analyst, researcher or other positions in private industry. The BLS reported that most economists worked in larger cities, with the federal government employing 21% of economists in 2014. The mean annual wage for economists was $105,290 as of May 2014."

Exceptional personal circumstances may include, but are not limited to, the ill-health of the officer or a close family member, maternity, paternity/maternity support or adoption leave, or other significant personal matters. Policing is a 24-hour operation, so shift work is a necessary element of the job. Your actual shift pattern will depend on the need of your individual force, but it is likely that you will occasionally need to work at night and weekends as well as being on call."
},
{
"question": "How many hours will I work per week?",
"answer": "You will be required to work around 40 hours per week, in line with other Police Officers."
},
{
"question": "Can existing police officers apply?",
"answer": "No. Direct Entry is for new entrants to policing or for those coming back to policing after a significant break. The aim of the Direct Entry Inspector programme is to recruit high quality professionals from a variety of sectors outside policing, who not only have a sense of belief in public service but who can bring new perspectives, diverse work experience and different skills into policing to support the vast talent that already exists in the service. This is to ensure we continue to deliver a professional and efficient service capable of meeting future demands and to support existing police leaders to bring about fundamental, positive changes to police culture. As part of the competency based application process for the programme, all applicants need to demonstrate that they meet the programme aims in that they evidence appropriate level different skills and external experience that they can bring from other sectors into the police service. Serving officers will have limited current experience from other sectors as traditional career routes in policing have not made it possible for officers to gain external experience during their career. We are working with the Home Office to open up further flexible entry and re-entry routes into policing for serving officers, as well as secondment opportunities with private sector organisations. It is recommended that serving officers apply for promotion through existing in-force processes and take advantage of other talent programmes, such as the national Fast Track (police constable to inspector) programme or other in-force programmes."
},
{
"question": "What will I be awarded when I complete the programme?",
"answer": "On successful completion of the Direct Entry Inspector programme, inspectors are awarded a post-graduate qualification."
},
{
"question": "What career opportunities are there in policing once I have completed the programme?",
"answer": "The programme provides you with the skills required to become a competent uniformed inspector. On completing the programme, programme members will be able to apply for other roles and promotion opportunities in the same way as other inspectors."
},
{
"question": "Will I receive a salary when on the programme?",
"answer": "Yes, programme members receive a starting salary of around £48,000 a year from day one of the programme. Different allowances may be paid in each force."
},
{
"question": "Will I be required to work away from my force?",
"answer": "During the College-delivered phases of the programme, you will occasionally be required to travel and stay away from home for periods of time. You may be required to work from different police stations in your force area in order to give you an opportunity to experience a range of situations while on the programme."
},
{
"question": "How long is the training and where will it be delivered?",
"answer": "The programme is for 24 months. Approximately 80 per cent of your time will be in force on operational rotations performing core police duties at ranks up to and including inspector. The remaining 20 per cent of the time will consist primarily of taught lessons delivered at one of the College of Policing’s sites. No, programme members are not required to pay for the programme."
},
{
"question": "Will successful applicants complete the same initial training as a regular police officer?",
"answer": "Programme members will complete a largely bespoke training programme that will provide all the necessary skills and knowledge to perform the role of inspector. This will not be the same as a regular police officer but will provide you with a broad foundation of knowledge and practical exposure on which to build."
},
{
"question": "How will programme members be assessed?",
"answer": "Programme members will be assessed through a combination of methods including knowledge-based examination, work-based assessment and community and operationally focused projects."
},
{
"question": "How will I be accepted into the force?",
"answer": "We recognise that starting any new role, especially when changing career, can be a challenging. The concept of direct entry is still new to policing, and, as such, attracts a broad range of views. However, our programme members have found colleagues supportive and welcoming and soon feel very much a part of the team that they are deployed to. From the point of selection you will be welcomed into force, given a mentor, and, at the first opportunity invited to meet your new team who will be keen to get to know you. You will also be supported by the central training staff. The College of Policing works closely with all participating forces to ensure that the training programme is delivered seamlessly between force and the College by involving your in-force tutors from an early stage."

You will need to enter your region (only the first time of use), and you can choose the zone relevant for you. Please note that just by downloading the application you have not actually bought a ticket, and no money has been taken from your account. It is only when you actually purchase a ticket that you will be charged.

},
{
"question": "Q – How can I be sure that someone can’t ‘hack’ into the information on my phone?",
"answer": "A – The application is built to mitigate any risk from potential 'hackers'. All sensitive information is stored in an encrypted form and transmitted as an encrypted message.

Furthermore the application has been built with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry - Data Security Standards) in mind, and credit card details are never stored on the phone."
},
{
"question": "Q – Will my credit card/bank account details be held on Arriva’s server?",
"answer": "A – No, Arriva does not hold any credit/debit card details.

Arriva does not store credit/debit card details on either our servers or within the application."
},
{
"question": "Q - What if I purchase a ticket, but decide not to travel?",
"answer": "A – The actual m-ticket will only commence when you want it to (by activating the m-ticket).

At this stage, the ticket will not have been activated yet, but it affords you peace of mind that you have a ticket at the ready for when you need it."
},

},
{
"question": "Q – What if I gift a ticket but the link disappears or is accidentally deleted?",
"answer": "A – When gifting tickets through email, SMS, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Twitter or Facebook, the app creates a ticket link that you can send to your chosen recipient, who can then access the ticket by clicking on the link from their phone. Please note that once the ticket link is created, the ticket is removed from your app. A copy of the link is also sent to your email, so in the event that the link is mistakenly deleted or disappears, the link will still be available on your email so that you can re-send to your chosen recipient."
},
{
"question": "Q – I shared my ticket to a WhatsApp group, can it be used by more than one person in the group?",

},
{
"question": "Q – How do I activate my m-ticket?",
"answer": "A – To activate a ticket simply select the ticket you wish to use within the ‘Available tickets’ section, and then press the green ‘Activate’ button. Upon activation you will be asked to confirm ‘Are you sure?’ which gives you the option to back out in case you have gone into the wrong ticket or have pressed ‘Activate’ by mistake. Once the ticket has been activated it becomes valid from that moment, so a day ticket will be valid for that day only, a weekly ticket for activation date + 6 days, and a 4-weekly ticket for activation date + 27 days. Please note that your ticket is automatically removed from your active ticket list, but you can view in your ‘Expired’ section, which is useful for re-ordering quickly.

},
{

},
{
"question": "Q – Do I need to connect to the Internet each time I use my ticket?",
"answer": "A –No, once you have your ticket, the ticket is stored on the phone ready for use (the ticket is even available if you turn your handset into ‘flight’ mode). An internet connection is however required at the point when you search and purchase your ticket. We suggest that you purchase prior to travel, for example at home, where you are likely to have a good Wi-Fi or 3G signal. Arriva is introducing free WiFi onto more and more services, and most routes have decent data coverage, but there may be 'blackspots' in some remote areas. A – You need to ensure that you have activated the ticket you wish to use for your journey and that it is displayed on your screen.

},
{
"question": "Q – Can more than one customer travel on one m-ticket?",
"answer": "A – No. Only one person can travel per m-ticket on each handset. If there is more than one person travelling, each person should have an m-ticket on each mobile phone.

},
{
"question": "Q – What happens when I upgrade my phone/get a new handset?",

"answer": "You may request a preview of our pricing here. We will then email you a complete copy of our wholesale price list."
},
{
"question": "Do I have to use your MSRP?",
"answer": "No, we simply offer you a MSRP. You may charge any price you feel necessary. We will never contact your customer in an attempt to steal them from you. Many drop shippers will either email, call or send their own catalogs in the shipments so the customer calls them to reorder---not you. You lose when that happens and so do we. We will not show prices right on our site for your customers to see. Many of the drop shippers in this industry show the wholesale prices right on their site or even sell retail on their sites. We do not feel this is to your benefit. We offer an honest 38%-45% profit margin. Some other drop shippers may promise you more and so could we. But we do not want to over price our gifts. Realistically you want to make money and so do we. Between the two of us we have a fair mark up, not an over inflation of the prices to make it look like you will make more. We don't want customers calling you after they receive their gifts and complaining it was not worth the money they spent. Your customers will feel they have gotten a good price on a beautiful gift when they receive our gifts. Gift Basket Drop Shipping is not a middle-man, club or some kind of association. We are the actual designers, manufacturer and warehouse for our gifts. We are not a collaboration of several different people. We are and always have been a family owned and operated business. Each and every single customer matters to us. We build all of our gift baskets (with the exception of fruit) right here in our facility with the freshest components which we receive new shipments of every two weeks. We provide top-notch customer service---REALLY. You can speak to a sales associate Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM CST to 5:00 PM CST each and every week. We want to speak with you and hear your opinion. Your opinion helps us improve our company. We have been in business longer than ALL of our competition. 2009 will make our 17th year in the gift basket business. Some of our competitors will brag they have been in business a certain amount of time. What they are not telling you is \"what\" business they have been in. I can guarantee you it was not the gift basket business. We offer the LARGEST selection of any gift basket drop shipper in business today. Our 16+ years of creating gift baskets has proven our designs are what customers are looking for. When you buy from us you do not have to deal with 2 or 3 different vendors to have a complete selection of gift baskets."

"question": "Does your program have any monthly fees or account set up fees?",
"answer": "Our program does have a $29.95 membership fee in any month in which you do not purchase $100.00 in merchandise. However, if you purchase $100.00 in merchandise in that one month we waive the 29.95 monthly membership fee. We do not have any set up fees or annual dues."
},
{
"question": "Why do you charge a monthly membership fee?",
"answer": "We operate off of a 10% to15% profit margin. The monthly membership fee helps to offset monthly operating expenses, new photography and product development. Developing new products and photography is very expensive. As a member you benefit from our photos and gifts and part of how we help cover our costs is by charging the monthly membership fee if you do not meet the $100.00 merchandise minimum. Realistically you only need to sell 2-3 gifts per month to meet the minimum and cover your costs of membership. And remember, the fee is waived in any month in which you buy $100.00 in merchandise. We are one of the only companies which offers the benefit of waiving the monthly fee."
},

"question": "Can I cancel my membership if I want to?",
"answer": "Yes, you may cancel your Standard membership at any time with written notice. We do not accept cancellations over the phone. All images must be removed from your site prior to cancellation. Membership fees will continued to be charged as long as you use the GBDS images. Cancellations will not be honored if your web site is still using the GBDS images. Membership dues are due and payable for the month in which you cancel and are not refundable.

Please refer to our contract for cancellation policies pertaining to our 90 Day Trial program."
},
{
"question": "How do I cancel my membership?",
"answer": "All cancellations must be sent via USPS mail or via fax. We do not accept cancellations over the phone. All images must be removed from your site for your membership to be cancelled. In addition the monthly membership fee is still charged in the month in which you cancel if you do not meet the $100.00 merchandise minimum. Cancellations will not be honored if your web site is still using the GBDS images."
},
{
"question": "How do I obtain your images?",

},
{
"question": "Can you tell me how to market my site and build sales?",
"answer": "Again, the answer is no. We do not assist in the marketing of your web site in any way. We are and always have been a gift company. We do not pretend to be web developers or a marketing company. We simply choose to focus all of our efforts on our service and selection. As with any business, what you get out of the business is directly related to how much time and effort you put into the business. There are no get rich quick answers or opportunities on the Internet as many people would have you believe. Running a web based company is no different than operating a brick and mortar. It takes lots of hard work, hours and hours of dedication and great marketing to be successful."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if a product is out of stock?",

But, again we must be able to retrieve the damaged gift to offer a refund of any kind. No additional discounts will be offered if the gift can not be retrieved. The gift must be unopened and in its original condition. We do reserve the right to make substitutions and do find the need too at various times throughout the year. Also, not all packaging may look identical to the products photographed as packaging colors and shapes change quite frequently. With this in mind please be aware that a substitution or variance in flavor, color or packaging does not justify an item being returned at our expense or a discount of any kind. If for any reason other than damages or errors on the part of GBDS, a customer wants to return a gift they may do so at their own expense plus an additional 20% restocking fee. Orders may be placed on-line with our on-line order system. This system ensures order receipt and time. It also keeps a history for you along with tracking information."
},
{
"question": "How do I know when my order has shipped?",

},
{

"answer": "All express orders received before 1:00 PM CST ship the same business day. All ground orders ship within 48 business hours. All express orders placed after 1:00 PM CST ship the next business day. Ground orders are not guaranteed to ship the same business day."
},
{

"question": "WHAT INSPIRED THE NAME MYSTERIOSO?",
"answer": "Mysterioso gets its name from a Rock Legend involving two of its greatest heroes: George Harrison & Eric Clapton. In 1968, Harrison was trying to get the other Beatles to agree to record “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” during the White Album Sessions. Frustrated with their refusal, Harrison invited Clapton to play the iconic weeping lead guitar parts, putting the others on their best agreeable behavior. At the time, Apple and Polydor were not owned by the same company, so obtaining the rights to use Clapton’s name in the liner notes would put the release off for too long. So Harrison cited him under the pseudonym ‘L’Angelo Misterioso.’ Some months later when Cream was recording their record Goodbye, Harrison returned the favor on the classic song “Badge,” and was cited as “L’Angelo Misterioso.” Drop the “I” for a “Y” and the rest is for the ages. The Mysterioso Rock Tee Brand mixes our signature design style with a vibrant, high-quality screen print to create a vintage inspired, ultra-soft garment that only gets better with age. Each Rock Tee is drawn and printed by hand in small batches to ensure each one to be a unique piece of wearable art. Every time you put on a Mysterioso Rock Tee, you carry a message and a conversation. Whether you’re following a Vision Quest, rocking fully at a music festival, or while enjoying a Sunday Mindstorm at home, our rock tees are made to be worn and to be rocked fully. Our Rock Tees offer a fitted, athletic cut, with an ultra-soft, vintage feel. For a more relaxed fit, we suggest choosing the next size up. Most of our garments consist of combed cotton, polyester, and/or tri-blends. We want our tees and apparel to be the favorites of your collection for a long time. As we suggest on our label, always wash in cold water and tumble dry low or hang dry. Exposing the garment to any higher heat, what we call nuking, will shrink your Rock Tee about a half a size. Support the Source. Order from the Source. Mysterioso’s Online Rock Tee Shop is open 24 hours, 7 days a week to take your order. Each order comes with a Certificate of Rockthenticity and Mysterioso Rock Art Swag you can’t get anywhere else.

"question": "Or is it?",
"answer": "You stand in front of the door, hesitant to enter. Despite everything your guidebook tells you about how you can point at wax models outside to order, that's obviously not happening here. There's no menu, no prices, no hours of operation, and certainly nobody welcoming you inside."
},
{
"question": "Do they even speak English?",
"answer": "Although everything in Tokyo and Japan may seem exotic and foreign, when it comes to cocktail bars, you've probably already been to a place with the same setup. However, I've made the answers to these common questions especially detailed for those readers who have limited experience drinking at more formal bars. Sometimes it's not very obvious if that hole-in-the-wall you've stumbled upon is even open. Sometimes it's not even obvious it's actually a bar. Generally, if there's a light illuminated the sign, entrance, etc. then yes they're open. If you still can't figure it out, just try to open the door (don't bother knocking), assuming there isn't some requirement to use a doorbell or intercom. If the door is locked, you have your answer. If you go inside and there's no staff and the place looks closed, you still have your answer. If it's late and you're not sure how much longer the bar will remain open, just ask the staff what time they're open till. Most likely you'll get an answer what time their last order is, and most places will remain open 30-60 minutes after that. This really depends on the bar. Sometimes you'll get lucky and despite the fact that you're at an after-hours bar in Kinshicho, the staff is fully fluent in English and you have no problems whatsoever. However as a rule of thumb, the more famous a bar is, the higher chance you have that they're used to dealing with non-Japanese speakers. Of course hotel bars are by far the safest bet here, but if you are just going to drink at your hotel, you probably wouldn't have come to this site."
},
{
"question": "What should I do when I walk in?",
"answer": "Depending on how many staff are on duty and whether or not there are other customers, you may be ushered to a specific seat. The bartender may also ask you to take any seat you like. You also may be asked if they can take your jacket and/or umbrella. It's important to note here that cocktail bars in Japan are structured more like restaurants, i.e. the staff considers the bar full if all the seats are taken. There may or may not be space to stand, but either way, everyone must have a seat. The concept of a seat doesn't go away just because there isn't a physical seat -- even standing bars may be considered full when the standing seats are full."
},
{
"question": "Should I sit at the bar counter, or get a table?",
"answer": "The answer lies in how many are in your party. 2 people: Unless you really need a table for some reason, sit at the bar. You've probably come to see the bartender work his or her magic anyway. 3 people: Take a table if there's one available. If not, sit at the bar. 4+ people: Always take a table. Even if there are that many seats available at the bar, it's unlikely you'll be offered them -- groups of 4+ sitting in a row means those at the ends will have to be louder to be heard."
},
{
"question": "What is this 1000 yen “seating charge” on my bill?",
"answer": "Although tipping does not exist in Japan, you may find yourself charged for things you didn't actually order. Below is a list of the kinds of charges that bars may add to your bill. Otōshi: Otōshi is a small dish served upon ordering your first alcoholic drink. There charge is typically 200-500 yen per person, and at cocktail bars the dish is generally some sort of bar food like nuts, olives, or smoked ham. Technically speaking it's within your legal rights to decline the otōshi but it's also within the bar's legal rights to not serve you as a result. Some bars, recognizing that otōshi doesn't exist outside Japan, will directly ask non-Japanese customers if they want otōshi or not. This is of course up to you, but since they're the ones asking, this shouldn't impact the quality of service you receive. Seating charge: This is essentially an upgraded version of otōshi and tends to be charged by higher end bars. The costs can run as high as 2000 yen per person. The dish you receive in turn should be of higher quality. Generally, the menu will indicate what the seating charge is, if applicable. Service charge: If you're charged this -- the menu or signage should indicate -- it will be a percentage of your bill, typically 10%. Don't think of this as a tip for your particular bartender or service staff though; this is just extra revenue for the bar. Late night charge: If you're staying past 11:30PM you could find this added to your bill. Like the above service charge, the menu or signage should indicate. This will likely be expressed as a percentage as well, potentially in addition to the service charge. When in doubt just ask for clarification. Music charge: If there's live music, there could also be a music charge on your bill. Unlike the other charges listed above, the staff will let you know directly if this is to be charged. Pay attention since it could cost quite a lot. After you're seated, the bartender of staff will take your order and help you through the menu. It could be a few minutes if the bar is busy, but don't worry, they haven't forgotten or ignored you because you're a gaijin. You don't need to get up, wave, yell, hold some bills in your hand, or anything of the sort. Just wait! If there's clearly something amiss, then a simple sumimasen is the most appropriate way to get immediate attention from the staff. Feel free to order from the menu if they have one and you're capable. But depending on what kind of experience you're after, this might not be the best way to order given that bar menus tend to appeal to as wide a variety of drinkers as possible. You came all the way to Tokyo, and you've made it this far."
},
{
"question": "Already have a drink in mind?",
"answer": "Bartenders in Japan tend to have a massive quantity of recipes memorized, so they'll probably be able to immediately tell you if they are capable of making your drink of choice."
},
{
"question": "Don't know what to drink?",
"answer": "Here's your chance to experience Japan's famed omotenashi culture if you haven't already. Have a think about what you like. Have a conversation with the bartender if possible."
},
{
"question": "Did a bottle on the shelf catch your eye?",
"answer": "Ask to see it. Ask if you can smell the aroma. You may even get a complimentary taste."
},
{
"question": "Can the bartender offer a recommendation?",
"answer": "Talk your way through what you like, what you don't like, and let that guide the bartender to come up with something for you. Rather that paying per drink or opening a tab as you may do back home, in Japan, you'll just get a bill at the end. If the menu is only in Japanese and you can't read it, or there isn't any menu at all, you'll need to figure out another way to order. See the question \"How should I order?\" for advice about how to order off menu."
},
{
"question": "And what about tips?",
"answer": "Once you've had your fill and it's time to head out, you'll need to settle up the bill. Once again a sumimasen will work fine here to get the staff's attention. You can ask for the bill by simply saying okaikei. If you can't get that out for some reason, just make a small X by crossing your index fingers: this is Japan's equivalent of the \"writing\" gesture used to get the check in other countries. Cocktail bars in Japan rarely provide itemized checks, nor can they split across multiple credit cards. Generally you'll receive a small piece of paper with just a single number written on it. This is your bill and is inclusive of all required charges and taxes. It may be higher than expected -- see \"What is otōshi?\" for more details. Tipping is neither required nor expected. Just pay the amount on your bill. In Tokyo, you should be able to use credit cards to pay at the vast majority of bars. Even so, it's always safer to have cash on hand just in case. When in doubt, ask if it's possible to use credit cards before ordering your first drink."
},
{
"question": "Seriously, for a bar?",
"answer": "Assuming you can handle the Japanese to make a phone call, or your hotel concierge will for you, it's a good idea to make reservations for popular bars. Although there are figuratively tens of thousands of bars in Tokyo, they often only have a few seats. The population density here means that those seats will fill quite quickly, so you'll be turned away. Online reservations have not caught on in Japan, especially at the high end. Reservations are especially useful if you plan on going on a Friday or Saturday night, since like everywhere in the world, people tend to go out these nights. For more advice on what nights are good in specific neighborhoods of Tokyo, see our Night Out guides. Most cocktail bars will open around 5-6PM for aperitifs and close around midnight, and 8-10PM is prime hours since many people will have eaten dinner prior to drinking cocktails. And you probably should too, says your liver. All that said, many bars simply do not take reservations. Other bars do not take reservations but may hold seats for your for 15-30 minutes if you call and ask. As anyone who clicked on this question is probably aware, shots and shooters have a tendency to make people lose control. Many cocktail bars in Tokyo pride themselves on their relaxed atmospheres, enabling customers to have a few lazy drinks before calling it a night. That's clearly not the environment where bartenders would want people becoming loud and annoying because they put back too much tequila. Certainly there are plenty of places with completely different atmospheres, where they are happy to serve you as many shots as you like. If you must have shots, drink them there instead!"
},
{
"question": "I’m drunk as hell, can you help??",
"answer": "Welcome to drinking in Japan! This may be what happens to you when you drink in a country that has no blue laws, where liquor licenses do not exist, there are no open container laws, and never had Prohibition or a Gin Craze. Which is to say that when it comes to controlling your intake, you're truly on your own. Bartenders will not cut you off for being too drunk, so long as you're capable of ordering. The phrase \"please drink responsibly\" is especially important in Tokyo because you're not driving anywhere, it's perfectly legal to be drunk in public, and you'll have unfettered access to alcohol anywhere anytime. So in Tokyo: please drink responsibly... because nobody else will stop you!"
},
{
"question": "What should I wear, is there a dress code?",
"answer": "The vast majority of bars open to the public do not have written dress codes, but be realistic. For guys, at the bare minimum you should be wearing jeans and a collared shirt. For ladies, stay away from anything particularly revealing or pajama-like."
},
{
"question": "What does a bar being 会員制 (members only) mean?",
"answer": "Though bars like this have been steadily declining in number since the end of Japan's bubble era, you may still run across a few while walking through the city (especially Ginza). As the name indicates, members-only bars require you to be a member yourself or be the guest of a member. Usually you'll be required to pay some kind of registration fee in addition to yearly membership dues for the privilege of drinking at that particular bar."
},
{
"question": "Any way to make it cheaper?",
"answer": "With some notable exceptions in hotel bars, happy hour is very rare for cocktail bars in Tokyo. However, there are some excellent happy hours with good cocktails to be found at restaurants throughout the city. Cocktail bars generally do not run discount promotions or offer coupons. If you get in the good graces of a particular bartender/owner, there's a chance you could eventually score some free drinks here and there. But this is not something to count on or aim for."
},
{
"question": "How about outside?",
"answer": "For better or worse, Tokyo has no laws concerning indoor smoking, and it's socially acceptable to smoke indoors as well. To be polite, when seated at the bar, ask the person(s) sitting around you if it's OK to smoke. If there's not already an ashtray nearby, just ask the bartender for one. Outside of cigar bars, cigars and similar with stronger odors are generally not allowed as this may impact someone's ability to enjoy the flavors of his or her drink. If you prefer to smoke outside the bar, the staff should be able to advise where the closest acceptable smoking spot is. If it's at street level, it's worth noting that certain districts of Tokyo have ordinances concerning smoking on the street, some even involving fines to be paid on the spot. Where these ordinances are in place you should see signs and designated smoking zones."

"question": "Am I responsible for sending my course certificates to the DOS?",
"answer": "Credits received from Lieb School count towards the 22.5 required from the DOS for license renewal. Certificates provided at each class serve as proof of credit hours (think of them as a receipt). After each class, Lieb School submits to the Department of State, Bureau of Educational Standards, all licensee information for successful completion of each course. Upon license renewal, the DOS will require the original signed certificates if you are selected for an audit. Make sure that you keep your certificates in a safe place. In the event of an audit, the DOS will cross reference the certificates with the student completion records received by each school. You are responsible for completing all 22.5 credits by your license renewal deadline date. License renewals must be completed online through the Department of State eACCESSny website. Please note that the renewal process requires licensees to validate education completion by answering “Yes” to the Continuing Education question that confirms all CE requirements have been satisfied. If you mistakenly answer “No”, the DOS will not renew your license until they see all original course completion certificates. You also have to hold onto the original course completion certificates in the event of a license audit by the DOS."

"question": "How much time is involved in football?",
"answer": "Football is a big commitment of time for both the players and parents. Beginning around August 1stthrough about September 4th practice is 4 days a week Monday – Thursday 5:30 – 7:30pm. Then once school starts, kids practice 3 days a week, Tuesday-Thursday 5:30 – 7:30. Games are played on Sundays beginning the 1st Sunday in September."
},
{
"question": "Isn’t it really hot in August?",
"answer": "Yes it is! That is why it is important that your child drink lots of water during football season, not just during practice, your child should be hydrating all day. Coaches have scheduled water breaks throughout practices. Please be sure your child brings adequate water to practice."
},
{
"question": "Is football too rough for my child?",
"answer": "Only you and your child can answer that question EFFA takes great strides to insure that coaches are knowledgeable, well trained individuals with the abilities to teach proper techniques and skills. ; and that all equipment is inspected and in good working condition to provide proper safety for all players. However keep in mind this it tackle football. It’s not a sport for every child, please discuss this with your child and any of our board members prior to registering if you have concerns. REGISTRATION FEES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE FOR ANY REASON AFTER PRACTICE BEGINS. No they are volunteers who because of their love of the game donate their time to the program. EFFA is entirely run by men and women who put in a huge amount of personal time all year round to make this program available for our children. ALL coaches attend required coaches training by SAFL law."
},
{
"question": "Can I sign my child up now and pay later?",
"answer": "No. Due to the nature of this sport there are a number of expenses that must be paid before the season even begins. We are not able to register any child without payment in full at registration time unless coordinated by the EFFA executive board."
},
{
"question": "After registration fees are paid will there be any other expenses?",
"answer": "No. Fundraising covers the balance of the expenses incurred by EFFA. You as a parent are required to help with all fundraisers."
},
{
"question": "Equipment- What does EFFA provide?",
"answer": "Coaches try to play all children as equitably as possible IAW SAFL rules. Let us answer this way…. Imagine if you invited 35 boys over to your home, put pads and a helmet on them and told them to hit each other as hard as they can, knock each other down and then do it again,again and… again."
},
{
"question": "And again, what do you think would happen?",
"answer": "More likely than not it would be complete chaos, mayhem, arguing, eventual name-calling, fist fighting and perhaps even a call from your neighbors asking you to move. I’m not sure a polite “Lets calm down now boys” would cut it. The answer to this question is: Coaches will demand complete attention and sometimes they demand it loudly. This is a contact sport and coaches are responsible for teaching the kids not only how to play football, but to do it properly so no one gets hurt. This requires a lot of cooperation, teamwork and respect for each other and to this end; coaches will make sure they are heard. What are the weight limits for skilled positions: Pee Wees: Any player weighing more than 80.0 pounds at the SAFL official weigh-in (player may have in-season weight of 82 pounds) shall be deemed an overweight player. This means that the player must play on the interior line from tackle to tackle. Juniors: Any player weighing more than 115.0 pounds at the SAFL official weigh-in (player may have in-season weight of 120 pounds) shall be deemed an overweight player. This means that the player must play on the interior line from tackle to tackle. Seniors: Any player weighing more than 135.0 pounds at the SAFL official weigh-in (player may have in-season weight of 140 pounds) shall be deemed an overweight player. This means that the player must play on the interior line from tackle to tackle. All players will be weighed at an official SAFL weigh in prior to the first game. Players are to be weighed only once, at the official weigh in. All players are to be weighed in game jersey, and shorts IAW SAFL By-Laws. Any player exceeding the skilled position weight will be deemed an “overweight player” and be limited to playing positions of down linemen on either offense or defense."

{
"question": "Should I be worried?",
"answer": "Answer From Thomas J. Salinas, D.D.S. Inadequate brushing. If baby teeth aren't brushed properly, bacteria (plaque) might form on the teeth — which can lead to tooth discoloration. Medication use. Infant medications containing iron, such as supplemental vitamins, might cause stains on baby teeth. Taking the antibiotic tetracycline during pregnancy or breast-feeding can cause a child to have discolored baby teeth, too. Tooth injury. A single dark tooth could be the result of bleeding within the tooth due to dental trauma. Weak enamel. A genetic problem with enamel formation might lead to discolored baby teeth. Excessive fluoride. Regularly mixing powdered or liquid concentrate infant formula with fluoridated water might increase your child's risk of developing faint white lines or streaks on the teeth (fluorosis) if these kinds of formula are your child's main source of food. Illness. Some children might develop baby teeth with a green or yellow hue if they are born with a condition in which there is too much bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia). If the discoloration is caused by poor dental hygiene, more thorough brushing might help. Until your child learns to spit — at about age 3 — use a smear of fluoride toothpaste no bigger than the size of a grain of rice. To keep your child's mouth healthy, avoid filling your child's bottle with liquids such as sugar water, juice or soft drinks and don't put him or her to bed with a bottle. Also, don't share eating utensils with your child. This can spread cavity-causing bacteria. If your child uses a pacifier, never dip it in honey or sugar. Discuss your concerns about your child's baby teeth with his or her doctor. He or she might refer you to a pediatric dentist. After addressing any underlying issues, the dentist might recommend bleaching the discolored teeth later on or simply watching the teeth for signs of other problems. Healthy habits. American Dental Association. http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/babies-and-kids/healthy-habits. Accessed July 28, 2016. Fluorosis. American Dental Association. http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/f/fluorosis. Accessed July 28, 2016. Berkowitz CD. Oral health and dental disorders.

"question": "Q When the germs are killed on the cloth, where do they go?",
"answer": "A Germs (bacteria, viruses) are microscopic and disintegrate when they are killed. There are no visible or harmful remains."
},
{
"question": "Q When should I wash the cloth?",
"answer": "A The cloth continually produces silver ions that kill germs. There is no need to wash the cloth unless there is visible soil or stains. You can hand wash in the sink with mild (non-chlorine) soap, rinse and air dry. There is no loss of germ killing ability with over 50 washings. Q I’m used to the wetness and smell of hand sanitizers."
},
{
"question": "Is the Silvertize cloth as effective without these properties?",
"answer": "A The Silvertize cloth kills bacteria and viruses, including MRSA the antibiotic resistant bacteria. Hand sanitizers don’t kill MRSA or viruses. The wetness and smell are created by glycerin and alcohol. The glycerin wetness is basically artificial wetness and the alcohol dries the skin and is flammable. Wetness and alcohol can’t be used on some surfaces such as electronics (keyboards, cell phones) and some plastics without causing damage. With the Silvertize cloth, this isn't an issue. Feel free to use liberally on electronics and other items that typically should not be exposed to moisture."
},
{
"question": "Q Are the antimicrobial properties of Silver a new discovery?",
"answer": "A The medicinal properties of silver ions (Ag⁺) have been known for centuries. Egyptians, Greeks and Romans dropped silver coins into fountains and stored drinking water and food in silver vessels. Silver was a popular antimicrobial into the 20th century. One of its most widespread uses was silver nitrate drops placed in the eyes of newborns to prevent infections that commonly caused blindness. With the discovery of antibiotics in the mid-1900s, silver was no longer used extensively as a remedy for infection, although it continued to be a primary treatment for serious burns. Today, in the face of antibiotic resistant pathogens, silver is re-emerging as an important antimicrobial agent in the field of infection prevention."
},
{
"question": "Q How do silver ions kill microorganisms?",
"answer": "A Unlike antibiotics which kill specific micro-organisms, silver ions simultaneously attack up to 10 sites in the cell which stop reproduction and cause cell death. Mutated pathogens do not survive. As a result, there are no known silver resistant micro-organisms among medically relevant strains. This property has caused infection control doctors, surgeons, and wound care specialist to select silver technology for medical devices and to prevent diseases. Silver ions kill a broad-spectrum of medically relevant micro-organisms that include bacteria, fungi (molds and yeasts) and deactivate viruses. Silver ions, when applied externally, are non-toxic to human cells and very safe."
},
{
"question": "Q How does silver bonded cotton generate silver ions?",
"answer": "A Cotton is a natural fiber that is able to absorb moisture from ambient air. The moisturized silver surface reacts with oxygen, forming a silver oxide film. Some of the silver oxide dissolves, producing a silver ion solution. Silver ions (Ag⁺) kill germs."
},
{
"question": "Q Does ionic silver kill MRSA and other resistant strains?",
"answer": "A Yes. Thus far, silver ions (Ag⁺) have killed all bacteria, fungi (molds and yeasts) and deactivated all viruses on which they have been tested. There are no known silver ion-resistant micro-organisms."
},
{
"question": "Q Can I return my Silvertize cloth?",

{
"question": "Do Priests change their minds about celibacy?",
"answer": "The conclave at which JPII was elected petitioned the future Pope to tighten up on the procedure for dispensations from priestly and religious commitments. So whoever it had been would have been bound by an express wish of the College of Cardinals. JPII started out with an extremely tight policy on this, but it has been revised several times already. For quite some time now, it has been more liberal than ever since 1978."

{
"question": "Why 40?",
"answer": "Apparently, several cases had seen younger petitioners later change their minds. It is not an arbitrary age, exactly, but someone had to draw a line of demarcation somewhere. It is agreed by those who count in such matters that 40 consitutes a kind of psychological watershed which will not guarantee but favour more mature decisions. That is all there is to it, I think, except to say that all this can change at any time. As I have said before, it is a question of convincing Bishps' Conferences, individual Cardinals or the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments that it is an issue worth discussing."

However suffice it to say, I am a native English speaker, I have a law degree, I have run and continue to run more than one business venture and have been active in online marketing for nearly 8 years now. Anyone who needs content – from individuals looking to get started with an Amazon niche site, to small and medium sized businesses, and a few larger international companies from time to time as well. You can either go directly to our plan options – both in terms of length and quantity of articles – by clicking here or you can have a read of our process first by clicking here."
},
{
"question": "How Do I Know The Content Will Be Good?",
"answer": "In short, you don’t. You are going to have to trust me and my judgement (and we do have a quality guarantee and unlimited revisions if that wasn’t enough). The best reference you have is to take a look at some of my past writing samples to help you decide for yourself."
},
{
"question": "What Happens If I'm Not Happy With The Work I Get Back?",
"answer": "I personally throw my best into every piece of content I create, however from time to time you might find that it doesn’t meet the expectations you had at the start. If that is the case, let me know within 7 days of receiving your completed project and I will revise it based on the feedback you provide – so you might need to think a little bit about what you didn’t like about it and be able to provide some specific feedback so I can make the necessary changes for you. …and we can go through this process as many times as we need until you are happy with the work you get back. We do however operate a no refund policy due to the nature of the work we provide as it cannot be undone and I cannot magically reclaim the time I put in. Please make sure you are happy with this policy before placing an order. And just as a reminder, if you want to check out examples of work I have already done, you can click here."

{
"question": "Will It Be Original Content?",

},
{
"question": "Do You Have Any Long Term Or Bulk Order Discounts?",
"answer": "If you sign up to a monthly content plan, it does work out a bit cheaper than buying individual articles. As well as that, if you opt for a bulk order or want a custom package for a longer term or high volume project, then it will probably work out even cheaper still!"
},
{
"question": "Do You Work With All Types Of Websites?",
"answer": "I do have some restrictions on the sites I work for. First of all, I tend to steer clear of the same topics that Google lists as it’s prohibited content for it’s advertising policies. As well as that, if you have asked for content on a topic where I don’t feel I will be able to deliver it to a high standard (which can happen where specialist knowledge is required), I will be honest and tell you right away."
},
{
"question": "Do You Post Directly To My Site For Me?",
"answer": "I can, but I don’t recommend it. It is important for you to make sure the content is in your own voice so I do recommend reading it and double checking it before it goes live. We can certainly directly upload to your blog or site for you though. At the minute, as it is early days, I am focussed entirely on the writing and article creation side of things. However, as we progress I will be offering more services including creating content for social media and also providing high quality stock images as a low cost, high value package – both as stand-alone services as well as included with the article packages.

"question": "What Oil Do I Use In My Lawn Mower Engine?",
"answer": "Before changing your lawn mower oil, you first need to take a moment to ensure you are adding the correct oil type and amount for the engine in your Ferris mower. The lawn mower oil recommendation may be different depending on the outdoor temperature you will be using your mower in. Briggs & Stratton offers a useful guide to determine the best oil type based on outdoor temperature. It is also important to remember that the type of oil required may vary between different mower engine manufacturers. We recommend referring to the original engine manufacturer and consider outdoor temperature to find the best engine oil for your mower. Use high quality detergent oils such as \"For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ\" or higher. You can also use synthetic oils, which are acceptable at all temperatures."

"question": "What will I find at Redeemer Community Church?",
"answer": "You’ll find people like yourself who are in need of grace from God and support from His People. We consider ourselves disciples of Jesus who are becoming a loving family. You will find that the foundational truth that accomplishes this is understanding how much we need Jesus. We purposely remind ourselves of our vision every month so that we never get away from our desire for Jesus to work in us."
},
{
"question": "Do I have to be a Christian to visit Redeemer Community Church?",
"answer": "Not at all. We encourage people to come who are seeking or have honest questions."
},
{
"question": "WILL I HAVE TO STAND UP AND INTRODUCE MYSELF OR SAY SOMETHING?",
"answer": "No. You can come and simply observe the service if you'd like. But we would love the opportunity to meet and get to know you. That’s why we serve coffee and light refreshments before the service. (We do encourage the use of name tags, but we won’t pressure you to wear one.) We offer ourselves as a ‘safe place’ where people can grow in their relationship to God. You’ll find that people linger afterwards because they enjoy being together. We value ‘Christian Community’ and believe that no one lives the kind of life Jesus taught by themselves. We need Jesus and we need each other! Worship is the most important thing that we do as followers of Jesus. It is an expression of God’s awesomeness and nearness at the same time. So we use a variety of historic and contemporary creeds, songs and hymns as well as celebrating Communion the first Sunday of every month. On any given Sunday, you’ll likely hear a band consisting of guitar, bass, keyboard, mandolin, and percussion. Worship is centered around the Bible, and the morning message usually lasts around 30 minutes with the service lasting 55-65 minutes. During the service, we do receive an offering that goes to support the ministry of Redeemer Community Church. But there is no pressure, and you won’t be put on the spot. You will be our guest, and we’re happy to have you come and visit. Great question! We provide a nursery for children 0-3 years. During the worship service there is a special ‘children’s sermon’ to help them understand about Jesus on their level. After that point in the service, children from age 4 through the 5th grade are excused for ‘Redeemer Kids’ where they are taught and cared for until the service is over. You’ll be glad to know that we require our childcare workers to be appropriately screened and background-checked. We ask that you register your children before they enter the children’s program because we take their safety seriously."

"question": "alienbob Can Slackware be recompiled from scratch?",
"answer": "If you want to know when the next version will be released (at time of writing the most recent stable release is 14.1), it will be ready... when it's ready! There are no fixed release dates, as the Slackware goal is to deliver the most stable Linux experience. If you want to know when the next version will be released (at time of writing the most recent stable release is 14.1), it will be ready... when it's ready! There are no fixed release dates, as the Slackware goal is to deliver the most stable Linux experience. + Short answer: no.\\\\ Several other distros (including [[http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/|Linux From Scratch]]) are capable of being rebuilt from scratch using the publicly available sources and scripts. Fedora habitually recompiles itself completely from time to time. Slackware is //not// like those other distros: there is no \"master build script\". The Slackware distribution grows and evolves \"organically\" and the utmost care is taken that all software in the distro is in working condition. Slackware does not need \"rebuild from scratch\" in order to achieve that goal. To the contrary: recompiling an older package may introduce new bugs or incompatibilities when the recompiled package picks up undesired new dependencies and/or functionality. + That does not make Slackware a \"binary distribution\", not does this philosophy violate any license."
},
{
"question": "In order to comply with Open Source licenses such as the GPL (and also because, why not?",
"answer": "), Slackware makes the complete source code and build scripts available for all the packages that are part of the distro. You will find these sources in the ''./source'', ''./extra/source'', ''./pasture/source'' and ''./patches/source'' subdirectories of any release. These sources and scripts are exactly what was used to build the accompanying package at the time of its release - no more and no less. + Note: It is essential that you understand these sources and scripts have produced a package using the system libraries available at the time of its creation. Over time, with all the library updates and introduction of new packages, the source code of any package may lose the capability of being re-compiled into that same package successfully. But that is perfectly normal: a Slackware package will //never// be recompiled unless its binaries stop working (due to dynamic library conflicts for instance) or because that package is upgraded to a new version. Only then, the sources and scripts for any package are re-evaluated. If patches are required at this time - to make the sources compile successfully or to make the resulting binaries work correctly - then patches will be added."

{
"question": "Home » Scientific Products Raman Spectroscopy Raman Academy Raman FAQs What is a combined / hybrid / hyphenated Raman system?",
"answer": "A combined / hybrid / hyphenated Raman system couples Raman analysis with another analytical technique – examples include Raman-FTIR, Raman-AFM, Raman-PL and Raman-Epifluorescence. Hyphenated systems allow more complete sample analysis on a single bench top system, and offer lower cost of ownership compared with two individual systems. They also remove the need for time consuming alignment of a sample on separate systems to allow the same area to be analysed with complementary techniques. A range of combined Raman solutions exist, offering different capabilities to the user. Combining Raman analysis with photoluminescence (PL) detection makes it possible to characterise both the vibrational and electronic properties of materials on a single bench top platform. Typical applications include analysis of semiconductor and nano-materials for band gap determination, impurity levels and defect detection, recombination mechanisms and material quality. Combining Raman analysis with an atomic force microscope (AFM) can provide physical sample information on the nanometer scale, including topography, hardness, adhesion, friction, surface potential, electrical and thermal conductivity, temperature and piezo response (among many others), together with the chemical information obtained from Raman spectroscopy and imaging. The end result is a more comprehensive sample characterisation. Epifluorescence imaging is widely used within biological fields for visualisation of cell/tissue materials, but does not offer the detailed molecular information that Raman can provide. Combining the two techniques on a single microscope system allows fast location of regions of interest within biological samples and targeted chemical analysis. Experiments such as FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridisation) are routinely possible on such systems, allowing them to be combined with Raman chemical analysis."

{
"question": "Do I have to pay it before arrival, on arrival or on another date?",
"answer": "For short terms rentals (less than 5 months) you will have to pay an advance payment, a part of the first month rent/or deposit. If the price of the monthly rent is lower than the advance payment we will cover first month rent and a part of the deposit. For long terms rentals (5 months and more) you have to buy for your chosen package. Before your arrival you don´t have to pay anything additional. Another payment you will need to make at your arrival-as soon as you sign the ‘rent agreement’. At this moment, you will need to pay the first month rent and the security deposit (the deposit will be returned at the end of your stay)."
},
{
"question": "How should i pay the rent, each month or all in advance?",
"answer": "For the first month you will pay at your arrival day, for the other months you will pay month by month or you can also pay in advance for all months if it is more convenient for you."
},
{
"question": "What happens if I can´t pay the rent on time?",
"answer": "Rent is always due on the 1st of each month. If you can’t pay on this day or if the 1st day is weekend or holiday you should pay the rent earlier. We demand the payment of the rent in due time as established in the tenancy agreement. If there are any extraordinary causes for which you could not pay the rent on time, you have to inform us in advance so that we can find a solution."
},
{
"question": "If I reserved a room from the 15th of September, for example, until the 16th of January, should I pay the rent for all September and all January, in total for 5 months, or just for 4 months?",
"answer": "If you reserve the room before the 16th of September (or before the 25th of February) for all semester or academic year with arrivals later than the 1st of month or exits earlier than the end of the month you will need to pay for all the month. In the given example you should pay the rent for all September and all January. When you reserve the room after a busy period of reservations (after 15th of September until 31th of January and after 25th of February until 31th of August) you will pay the price calculated for temporary stay. The price will be given when you make a reservation. Please note, the prices for temporary stays are higher than for study period."
},
{
"question": "If I arrive on 25th of January, do I have to pay for January (if my reservation is from the 1st of February until 30th of June)?",
"answer": "Yes you should pay for January like for temporary stay. When you make a reservation for temporal stay you will be able to know the price of the temporary stay for the days of January depending on the apartment and the room. I plan to move out at the end of the month."
},
{
"question": "I would like to pay the last month rent with my deposit, can I do it?",
"answer": "No, you can´t pay the last month rent with a deposit. A security deposit does not take the place of rent. If you do not pay the last month´s rent, you may be evicted."
},
{
"question": "When should I pay it?",
"answer": "A security deposit is money that you give at the beginning of the lease, before moving in. The deposit is usually equal to two months’ rental fee. In exceptional situations it can be just a month rent. The amount of the deposit is supposed to be paid upon signing the contract. If you cannot pay the full deposit when you move in, we agree to let you make the payment later on. In this case we make payment agreement in papers. The written agreement will state for how long you will have to pay and how much each payment will be. The deposit will be given at the end, when you leave the flat and the room in the same condition you got it."
},
{
"question": "What is the purpose of it?",
"answer": "Security deposit is for the benefit and safety of the landlord in the case that something on the property is damaged, extra dirty or broken. The security deposit is not used for any items that suffer normal wear and tear. The deposit will be returned in 2 parts: 1st part (half of the deposit) at the end of your stay when you leave an apartment and return the keys, (in case you leave the apartment in same condition you got it), and the second part by transfer when we check all the bills of electricity, water and gas used during your stay. All detailed information will be given in the Return of Security Deposit document signed by the landlord or landlord’s agent and the tenant."
},
{
"question": "In which cases my deposit can be discounted or not returned?",
"answer": "For damages caused by occupant, we will not deduct for normal wear and tear. This refers to wear which occurs during regular, daily, intended use of the rental. For repair of damages, other than normal, caused by the renter or the renter´s guests. The list of damages, found during the inspection in the last day of your stay, and estimate of repair costs will be send by email within 30 days of your moving out with invoices. For cleaning the apartment when the lessee moves out but only to make the flat as clean as it was when the tenant first moved in. Reasonable cleaning cost would include the cost of such things as cleaning the oven, removing decals, removing mildew in bathrooms, defrosting the refrigerator, brushing the floor and so. We will not charge for cleaning any of these conditions if they existed at the time when the tenant moved in."
},
{
"question": "How am I supposed to pay the expenses (water, electricity, gas, and internet)?",
"answer": "Those bills are included in rent price. There is fixed price with a limit of bills included. This included amount is calculated for normal and reasonable usage. If you exceed this amount you should have to pay extra fee. As soon as we have an invoices of water, electricity and gas of your flat of your stayed period we will send you them and calculation of exceeded bills if you have it or not. That you can check by yourself how you use the bills."
},
{
"question": "How should we prevent from increasing the bills?",
"answer": "Do not run water unnecessarily. Inform us immediately about leaking taps and toilets. Don’t cover the radiator thermostat or electric heating with curtains, furniture, etc."
},
{
"question": "If I have guests should I pay something in addition for the days they will visit me?",
"answer": "2 nights for your guest during your stay period are for free. For additional staying, each guest will need to pay for the bills only. The price is 15eur/person per one week."
},
{
"question": "If I leave an apartment before my rent agreement finishes should I pay something?",
"answer": "If you want to move out earlier than the end of the contract, you will lose the deposit or you can find another person in your room, in that case you will not lose anything."
},
{
"question": "If I decide after one month to leave the flat, can I do it without paying anything?",
"answer": "If you decide to leave the flat before your rent agreement finishes and you don´t want to be charged for it, you can find another student by yourself in order not to lose anything."
},
{
"question": "If I am renting a room and if the flat are more empty rooms do I have to pay for these rooms?",

"answer": "Landish Superfood Protein Bars made with spirulina are soy free. Landish Superfood Protein Powders are not made with soy but they are manufactured in a facility that also processes soy. All Landish products made with cricket powder may contain soy because crickets are fed a plant-based diet that includes soy."
},
{
"question": "What is the shelf life of Landish Superfood Protein Bars?",
"answer": "Landish products are not certified organic. However, some of our ingredients are organic. Examples include spirulina, reishi mushroom, pumpkin seed protein, and sunflower seed protein. I’m on low-carb or keto diet."
},
{
"question": "Are Landish products good for me?",
"answer": "Let’s break this down because these two diets are actually very different. A low-carb diet is one in which carbs are restricted, but not to the extent that this results in a state of ketosis in which the body consumes primarily fat as a source of energy. A keto diet is supposed to result in a state of ketosis. Despite the word “keto” being thrown around a lot, the low-carb diet is much more popular than the true keto diet because the latter is extremely challenging for most people and definitely not right for everyone. Let’s talk about the low-carb diet first. Landish Superfood Protein Powders have 1 g net carb, 15-16 g protein, and 3-4 g fat per 30 g serving, so they are absolutely well suited to the low-carb diet. Landish Superfood Protein Bars contain 15-17 g net carb, 10 g protein, and 11-13 g fat per 50 g bar, so they can fit within a low-carb diet, certainly much better than mainstream protein bars and energy bars. Now for the true keto diet. If you’re truly committed to maintaining a keto diet, less than 5% of your calorie intake should come from carbs. Just take your total daily calorie intake, divide that by 20 to get your total allowed calories from carbs, and then divide that number by 4 to get your total allowed grams of net carbs (since there are 4 calories per gram of carb). Remember to subtract fibre from total carbs to get net (absorbable) carbs. If you’re on a 2,500 calorie/day diet then your allowable net carb intake would be 31.25 g.\nLandish Superfood Protein Powders have 1 g net carb, 15-16 g protein, and 3-4 g fat per 30 g serving, so they are absolutely well suited to the keto diet. Landish powders are actually better suited to the keto diet compared to traditional protein powders because they are only around 50% protein and contain some fat. On a keto diet, you have to make sure you’re not ingesting excessive amounts of protein, as excess protein is converted to glucose, which can prevent you from entering or kick you out of ketosis. Landish Superfood Protein Bars contain 15-17 g net carb, 10 g protein, and 11-13 g fat per 50 g bar, so they can fit within keto diet, certainly much better than mainstream protein bars and energy bars, but you would have to make sure that you’re severely restricting carbs elsewhere. Using the example above, after consuming a Landish bar, you would have 14.25-16.25 g of carbs left to consume before exceeding the recommended daily carb limit. Some of us at Landish have tried the keto diet and decided that it was not right for us—we’ve settled into what we call a “carb-conscious” diet and we now seek macronutrient balanceand micronutrient densityfirst and foremost. It’s what allows us to feel our best and avoid any negative symptoms. This does involve seeking lower-carb options because mainstream products contain a LOT of carbs. Landish bars and powders were designed for this lower carb, macronutrient balanced and micronutrient dense diet we figured out is the not-so-complicated secret for us. The other discovery for us: diets don’t work. Only lifestyle changes and habit formation work—the things you will be able to do for the rest of your life. Keto or not, it’s eating with intention that makes the difference in the end."

"question": "What does cricket powder taste like?",
"answer": "Cricket powder is quite neutral tasting—a little earthy. We find it combines especially well with chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon, hence our two protein bar and protein powder recipes."
},
{
"question": "Where does Landish organic spirulina come from?",
"answer": "Landish organic spirulina comes from China. It’s the highest quality spirulina in the world, some of the only available organic spirulina in the world, and is produced in a modern facility in the desert, under almost permanent sunshine, far from any industry. Quality control is extremely strict. The spirulina is tested for heavy metals and other contaminants and exceeds all regulatory requirements in Canada and the US."
},
{
"question": "Are crickets safe to eat?",
"answer": "Yes! They’re 100% safe. Humans have been eating crickets for millenia, and now that crickets are farmed specifically for human consumption in Canada, all Canadian laws and regulations applicable to animal rearing and meat processing apply to cricket farming and processing. Compared to the meat-processing industry, cricket processing is much cleaner. They’re simply roasted and ground – much like how your favourite ground coffee is prepared. The plant-based feed for the crickets is also sourced from local farms."
},
{
"question": "Are crickets vegetarian?",
"answer": "No, crickets would not technically fit within a vegan or vegetarian diet. Vegan diets are usually defined as excluding all animal products, and vegetarian diets typically exclude all meat (defined as red meat, poultry, seafood, and the flesh of any other animal). Since crickets (insects) are animals, anyone following these definitions of veganism or vegetarianism would not eat them. However, that doesn’t mean vegans or vegetarians necessarily should avoid eating crickets. Depending on the reasons for their dietary restrictions, some people might find crickets are actually a perfect fit for their ethical-consumption goals. For instance, some people practice variations on vegetarianism, such as lacto-ovo-vegetarians (who eat eggs and dairy products) and pescatarians (who eat fish). These less stringent vegetarians might likewise make an exception for insects. Many of our customers who eat our cricket-based products are otherwise vegetarian, and they make this exception because they find that cricket powder “checks all their boxes” in terms of ethical sourcing, sustainability, and nutrition."

"question": "Q – If we are living overseas how do we apply for a marriage license?",
"answer": "A - To get a license you will need to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage application form. If either of you have been married or in a civil union before, and the marriage or civil union has been dissolved, you may be asked to produce evidence of the dissolution (e.g. Divorce/Dissolution Order) when you give notice to the Registrar. If your previous spouse or partner has died you do not have to produce evidence of their death, but you will have to give the date of death on the Notice of Intended Marriage. As part of completing the application form for a marriage licence, you need to make a statutory declaration. Either you or your partner will need to make a formal statutory declaration that there is no lawful impediment to the marriage (i.e. no legal reason that you both cannot be married), that the details given are true, that both parties are not within the “prohibited degrees of relationship” and that consent has been given (where relevant). If you live in New Zealand, one of you must make this declaration in the presence of a Registrar of Marriages. • You can send the form to the New Zealand Registrar of Marriages closest to where you intend to marry once you have completed the form, signed the statutory declaration and had it witnessed by a Commonwealth Representative. If it is convenient, you can have the declaration witnessed by a Commonwealth Representative, at the NZ Department of Internal Affairs London or Sydney office. Note: only the Notice of Intended Marriage where both parties ordinarily resident outside New Zealand can be signed by a Commonwealth representative. • Alternatively, if you will be in New Zealand at least three working days before the ceremony (either the bride or groom, or both) you can sign the statutory declaration and have it witnessed by a Registrar of Marriages in New Zealand. • You should advise the Registrar of the date that you intend to collect the marriage license (this must be at least three days after your completed form reaches the Registrar). • For more details about applying from overseas, see ‘When and How to Apply for a Marriage License; If you both live outside New Zealand’. If you are only arriving on the day before or day of your wedding, Lavish can collect your marriage license with prior arrangement and approval. Please ask about this."

"question": "Why is mumomega recommended for pregnant women rather than standard Equazen?",
"answer": "EQUAZEN has been specially formulated mumomega for women during pregnancy and breastfeeding as it contains a higher concentration of the structural fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and omega-3, than standard EQUAZEN. Adequate maternal intake of DHA throughout pregnancy is particularly important as it has been shown to contribute to the normal development of both the brain and eye of the foetus and breastfed infants. These beneficial effects on the foetus and breastfed infants has led the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to recommend all pregnant and nursing women consume the required 200 mg DHA per day, in addition to the 250 mg Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA+ DHA) per day already recommended for all adults."

"question": "In which cases Wetteralarm will issue warnings?",
"answer": "Wetteralarm warns by means of a multilevel warning system. It will issue warnings of gale/storm, heavy rain, heavy snow, freezing rain, and thunderstorms (with heavy rain, hail and gale-force wind gusts). Beyond that, Wetteralarm gives advices on glazed frost and icy roads, severe frost and heat. Wetteralarm warns on postal code level."
},
{
"question": "Which warning levels are used by Wetteralarm ?",
"answer": "Wetteralarm warns by means of a multilevel warning system: YELLOW is the weather watch level which is issued if the occurrence of a severe weather event is probable but there are uncertainties about duration, intensity and/or the course of this severe weather event. The warning levels ORANGE, RED and VIOLET are flash warnings. These warnings are issued if meteorologists are certain about the occurrence of a severe weather event. The warning levels are dependent on the intensity of the severe weather. They vary from area to area to account for the different topographic and climatologic conditions. You can find more information on the respective warning levels directly at the bottom of those warnings. Flash warnings of the warning levels ORANGE, RED and VIOLET are issued if the occurrence of a severe weather event is certain. This is generally 6 to 12 hours before the occurrence of such an event. Depending on the type of severe weather or weather conditions weather watches and flash warnings may be issued more shortly. Weather watches (YELLOW) are issued up to 48 hours in advance as the occurrence of the event may not be certain or there may be greater changes in time or in the intensity and in the moving direction of the forthcoming severe weather. Our Wetteralarm team of meteorologists strives to warn of imminent severe weather as early and reliably as possible. Glazed frost, icy roads, severe frost and heat are no severe weather events in the conventional sense. Nevertheless, they may lead to considerable obstructions or health hazards. That is why Wetteralarm issues warnings of such events separately. The affected areas are presented in dark green on the general map. Weather advices are issued only for regions below 1000 meters."
},
{
"question": "How does Wetteralarm monitor (severe) weather conditions?",
"answer": "Wetteralarm meteorologists can draw on many years of experience when it comes to the early detection of severe weather events. The warnings are based on the world’s best weather models (ECMWF, GFS, UKMO, GEM, etc. ), as well as on data derived by weather stations and on radar, lightning and satellite data. No. Each (severe) weather event is evaluated by one of our meteorologists. This evaluation will decide on whether a severe weather warning will be issued or not. So each warning is finally issued by a \"flesh and blood\" meteorologist. In case of thunderstorms meteorologists can rely on an additional tool: If the precipitation radar indicates a certain intensity of a thunder cell, the system will automatically calculate the geo-coordinates and postal codes that are in the path of the thunder cell (hail and heavy rain cell) and a respective warning will be proposed. But in the end it will be a meteorologist who decides if a proposed warning is issued or not and at which warning level."

"question": "APDL was just PD, wasn't it?",
"answer": "Over the years David Holden obtained rights to a great many commercial software packages, many of�these titles�would have vanished otherwise. Beebug, Clares, Fourth Dimension, iSV Products, ProAction and many other names became a part of APDL. David didn't just buy in products, he continued to develop them. He added new features, fixed bugs and converted older applications to run on newer versions of RISC OS. A good deal of the commercial 32bit RISC OS software owes its existence to David."
},
{
"question": "What's happened to APDL's software?",
"answer": "With the help and support of David's family we have recently recovered all of the APDL development machines. This has allowed us to secure the source code to the entire APDL software catalogue. The plan is to make�all of the APDL software titles available free of charge to�single users. The iSV Products section of the APDL site is the first to open with all of the iSV applications available for download. Some older applications are only suitable for 26bit machines but APDL did convert some titles to 32bit. So where possible it's the 32bit versions that are available as these should run on all RISC OS devices. Although the APDL applications will be made available free of charge that does not mean that they are freeware. Everything will be supplied under licence from the copyright holder(s) and will be exclusively available from the apdl.org.uk website."
},
{
"question": "When will everything be available?",
"answer": "It's going to take time for us to sort through all the APDL applications. We all have full time jobs and the preservation of APDL isn't a commercial operation. No one will be getting rich from it. Please don't ask when a particular application will be available, we will get to it as quickly as we are able. There is a vast amount of data to work through and we are not operating to a fixed timescale. Every query that we have to reply to takes time and that's time that could be spent on testing and cataloguing. So please don't e-mail (or phone) us with questions, Everything that we can say at the moment is in this press release and there's nothing more to add. When there is we will issue further press releases. We are sorry but we don't have the spare resources to offer technical support on any APDL product at this point in time. APDL sold printed instruction manuals for some of the products. These manuals are being converted into PDFs and will be included in the downloads with the applications concerned. At the moment we have all the people we need assisting with the project. If we do need further help then we will put out a press release on the comp.sys.acorn.announce newsgroup.

"question": "How does your presentation differ from other sites?",
"answer": "Some sites (actually, most) present their works in ways which I, personally, find annoying: they use coloured backgrounds, the pages are festooned with images, sidebars and other extraneous material, they use ugly fonts, too small fonts, etc. And they rarely make use of additional coding to make the texts more readable. Some sites don’t use HTML at all, and expect you to read PDF. That’s OK for printing, but I find PDF too blurry for extended reading on screen. Many sites either present the whole work as a single file (making it too large for comfort), or they split the work into many small pieces, making it tedious to get the whole work. This matters if you are on a slow-ish modem connection. each work may be easily downloaded in its entirety for reading off-line (requires WinZIP or similar). footnotes are generally placed adjacent to the text referring to them, within a box (in supporting browsers)."

{
"question": "Q; How will I benefit from an inground sprinkler system?",
"answer": "A; Since handwatering is done on a random basis, and at irregular intervals, an automatic sprinkler system will actually, in most cases, use less water. It will also disperse the water at an even rate, and for a predetermined amount of time. This allows you to water sunny and shady areas for different periods of time, and to water when it is most efficient. One obvious benefit is the ability to continue a watering program while you are away on vacation, etc."
},
{
"question": "Q; Will the installation make a mess of my lawn?",
"answer": "A; Modern installation techniques have made system installation far less disruptive than in the past. Blue Sky Irrigation features trenchless pipe installation. This is done with a purpose built machine that slices the sod, and lays the pipe at the same time. In general, the nicer the lawn to begin with, the less mess there is. In this case, all of the sod is still there, it may just need to be put back and tamped. A lawn that is in disrepair will be hard to make look good, as there is no sod to be replaced. In this situation, overseeding and new growth will be made easier because of the sprinkler system."
},
{
"question": "Q; How long does a system take to put in?",
"answer": "A; It would depend on the area that is trying to be covered. An average size lawn (@15,000 sq. ft.) can usually be done in one full day, depending on the situation. A large country lawn can take anywhere from two to four days. On average, we spend one to two days on a job."
},
{
"question": "Q; What type of maintenance does the system require?",
"answer": "A; All systems need to be winterized at the end of the season. This is done by attaching an air hose to a fitting on the water line, and blowing all of the water out of the system. Most people that we install systems for simply turn it back on in the springtime themselves. We do offer the service of opening systems for the season. The quality of the products used initially, and of the overall installation, play an important part in the long term service of the system. The better the products and installation, the less trouble you should expect in the future. Blue Sky Irrigation uses the finest products available in the industry, and strives to provide the finest installations in the business."

},
{
"question": "Q; How long and how often should I run my sprinkler system?",
"answer": "A; While there are no set parameters for this, here are a few rules of thumb. The precipitation rates on geardrive/sprayhead zones is about a 4 to 1 ratio. This means that gear drive zones should be run @ four times longer than sprayzones. Gear drive zones should be run for a minimum of 30 minutes, except in very shady areas. In the hot parts of the summer, these should be changed to 45 minutes, even an hour. Sprayhead zones should be run for 8 to 10 minutes, and bumped up to 15 to 20 minutes in dramatically hot weather. In the spring and fall, you should be able to get by with every second or third day. When the weather gets very hot, once a day is a good idea, as this will keep the lawn from getting stressed. Time and experience will tell you what will work best on your own property. For a more detailed discussion of this, go to the \"Troubleshooting\" page, and click on \"Zone Run Times\"."
},
{
"question": "Q; What is a backflow device, and why do I need one on my sprinkler system?",
"answer": "A;A backflow device is generally a brass assembly that will prevent any water from the sprinkler system from getting into the drinking water supply, and are required by all municipalities. There are many different types of these, and each individual municipality has differing requirements for the installation. Blue Sky Irrigation is very familiar with most locales, and can provide the appropriate backflow device for your system."
},
{
"question": "Q; What does \"Head to Head\" coverage mean, and can I get by without it?",
"answer": "A;On any system, one of the fundamentals of design is that each head hit the one to the left and right of it, and any other heads within its throw. This provides even water coverage, referred to as \"Matched Precipitation\". Really what you are trying to achieve is artificial rainfall. Areas with only single coverage might fare well in cool conditions, but will be the first to brown up in very hot weather. You are far better off to design and install the system properly to begin with, as it is much harder and expensive after the fact to add or move heads to compensate for dry areas. You can always run zones with single coverage heads longer, but now you are over-watering the double/triple coverage areas to compensate for the single coverage areas. Head to head coverage is paramount for a lush, green lawn."
},
{
"question": "Q; Will water alone keep my lawn that deep green color?",
"answer": "A;While water is the key ingredient for a healthy lawn, it is not the only answer. Fertilization is generally required for that lush green look, as is bug control. We get calls a lot in the summer from people that think there is something wrong with their sprinkler system, but upon inspection, there are bugs destroying the lawn, or they have not used any fertilizer. If you are unfamiliar with fertilizer and pesticides, we recommend that you contact a company in that business to look after your lawn. Having a sprinkler system installed is the first step towards a healthy, green lawn, but it is not the only step."
},
{
"question": "Q; What is the difference between gear drive heads, and sprayheads?",
"answer": "A; Gear drive heads have a water powered motor that makes the upper part of the head rotate. These heads are used for large turf areas, with throws of 15 to 35 feet. They are adjustable not only in the precipitation rate, but the arc as well. Blue Sky Irrigation uses only Hunter gear drive heads, which are easily changed from 40 degrees, to a full 360 degree rotation. Sprayheads are generally used for smaller or oddly shaped turf areas. Some companies still use them in flower and plant beds, but we prefer to use drip irrigation in these. Sprayheads have no moving parts, and emit a spray of a particular pattern. The nozzles are interchangeable, and come in circular, rectangular, and square patterns, with throws of four to fifteen feet. The precipitation rates of these two types of heads are dramatically different, and should never be mixed on the same zone."
},
{
"question": "Q; What is drip irrigation, and can I benefit from it?",
"answer": "A; Drip irrigation is a method where small amounts of water are placed directly on the root ball of plants, therefore using the water more efficiently. This is done with a network of small tubing that is all tied together, and provides water to many plants at once. A drip zone will usually run for several hours, not twenty or thirty minutes. It is generally considered to be better for most planting beds than topical watering, and also more water conservative. Your particular situation would dictate whether it was right for you."
},
{
"question": "Q; Why should I choose Blue Sky Irrigation to install my system?",
"answer": "A; Blue Sky Irrigation has a reputation for doing the best work in the business. We pay attention to the small details, and take great pride in each and every system we install. At Blue Sky Irrigation quality is our standard, not our goal. We generally only service our own systems, allowing us to take better care of our primary customers.

"question": "WHAT IS CORRECT BAR PRESSURE FOR THE INFLATABLE STAND UP PADDLE ?",
"answer": "For Sroka inflatable stand up paddle boards the correct bar pressure is 15 PSI or 1 bar though you can pump it up to 18 PSI (especially if you are living next to the cool waters though it is opposite if you are living in very sunny area because the heat will increase the air pressure inside of the board). The rigidity of the board is not determined by the overloaded bar pressure. Our board rigidity depends on the drop stitch and it’s thousands of locked nylon stitches. It will take not more then 5 minutes to inflate Sroka inflatable paddle board to correct working bar pressure. For more info do not hesitate to check our user’s manuel."

"question": "It was an age of awakening to the possibilities that the spirits of those we ask guidance from in dire & life-impacting situations, could also provide us more insight into the world that exists beyond this one, and is there an overlap to be discovered?",
"answer": "During this time many spirit requests became to be about the possibilities of knowing themselves. A beginning interest in the possibility of past life exploration started during this time as well, on a greater scale than it had been introduced previously, and people wanted to know what existed within themselves and beyond themselves. Early versions of modern-day seances began to take place, and though they were crude and non-standard in action, they were the first steps to a group of curious persons desiring enlightenment to take action to learn more about what existed beyond. This was the first time you saw people summoning spirits, not for a specific purpose, other than to learn more from the spirits, and though they did not keep them, they were calling on them to learn more about what existed beyond this life, to receive general thoughts & guidance, and in some cases would try to contact the same spirit again at a later interaction for further clarification or information. Seances would not be fully developed into what you see today until the late 17th & early 18th centuries. This era's largest development became those who would call upon the now extinct, or nearly extinct, spirits of creatures who had powers & abilities that were sought after when they were alive. Such as, calling upon the healing power of the Phoenix for those sick or dying, or the moral fortitude of a Unicorn for those who needed help with temptation, or the protection of a Gargoyle in times of dire needs. However, these summons were limited to the person's knowledge of those beings from their own culture or their own education. There was no internet, there was no widely-spread newspaper or Encyclopedia to educate the masses. The majority could not read or write, and most never strayed further than 20 miles from where they were born. Therefore, the ability to summon the aid of a spirit of an extinct or nearly extinct race of being was limited to their local knowledge. The breadth of conjurations would not be known for hundreds of years in the future. With the revival of the spiritual embodiment the Victorian Era saw a new level of divination, and spirit communication. Seances became the secret pleasure of many middle-to-high income families, and as they would host secret parties to call upon the spirits of ancestors, historical figures, celebrities of the day, and spirits they believed to be in the home. Even in a strong, religious world, during the Victorian Era, the curiosity of knowing what spirits from beyond had to say was too great a curiosity to be stifled by religious rhetoric. The vast majority of spiritual literature in the act of summoning spirits during this time were to summon humans; ancestors, and historical figures. The spiritual world had become entranced in contacting the great historic figures of their eras; Cleopatra, Caesar, Caligula, Charlemagne, da Vinci, Henry VIII, Plato, Shakespeare, Socrates, especially Napoleon and Marie Antoinette as their most recent, and very controversial lives were scandalous and exciting. The possibility of connecting to these people, and learning about them, became the new, forbidden & fun thing to do. It was the first time human preoccupation with learning about a spirit for the sake of fun & personal enjoyment really took root in the spiritual community. They were not contacting spirits for a specific task or need, but simply to find out more about them. Towards the end of the 19th century the greatest development was the beginnings of magick & spirit conjuration taking shape. It was a small step, but it was a step that would take hold towards the mid-to-end of the 20th century for Spirit Keeping. As the magickal community merged with the spiritual community in a common goal, both sides explored the possibilities, and while some on both sides stood true to the core of their own communities and did not pursue the marriage of magick & spirits, some experimented with the possibilities of the two co-existing in a newly developed, non-religious format. What you participate in now is something new in the last 20 years. The breadth of the race of spirits which can be called upon for day-to-day enjoyment as a companion, and friend, developed from conjurations that were used, previously, for specific needs and reasons. Those conjurations range from Ancient to Victorian eras, spanning various religions and cultural beliefs, and were re-designed to be more fitting to the needs of having a spirit that is open & willing to a lifelong friend. As well as newly developed conjurations based on the core principles of previously written conjurations, but are written with the act of Spirit Keeping as a lifestyle in mind. Whereas custom conjurations are written specifically by Magnolia & Ash, for specific entities, and for the purpose of matching a spirit to the potential Keeper based on the similarity & closeness of the spirit and Keeper's energy signatures. From the Victorian period up until the last 20 years the conjurations developed were often for specific tasks, as well as interviews for research, and for those in the magick world, the replacement of living Familiars for spirit Familiars whou could more greatly educate them on the wisdom of the past. Those conjured as companions were not bound in the way you see today, most of them were attached, not bound, and those who were bound did not have the type of binding you see today which offers the ability of cloaking, Bridging, charging, security, etc. As stated before, not all who conjured spirits practiced magick, as many were restricted from practicing magick at all, or where restricted to practicing magick that existed within their own belief system. The development of conjurations for different races of spirits developed in various regions, and there was not one, set council of conjurers through which conjurations could be shared, as later began to develop in the late-20th century. Most worked with a specific race of spirit, or a few races of spirits, and developed their skills with one before progressing to another. The expansion of the collective spirit conjurations, specifically for spirit companions as friends & daily living participants would not happen until the end of the 20th century when the ability to share information quickly & efficiently was introduced. Prior to the Information Age the only way to communicate was through written word, or telegraph, and the response times were months, even years, sometimes, and therefore the ability to achieve a collective repertoire was not only impossible, but daunting to even attempt. With the introduction of the Information Age, and the ability to share information with greater success in actual receipt of the requested, or sent, items the ability to grow a personal library were the foundation of Modern-Day Keeping. The Spirit Keeping community has also never been in the great number it is today. The numbers of those who participated in Spirit Keeping as day-to-day friends and companions in the capacity it is at this point with the wide range of races of spirits, crossing cultures and religions together, were less than 500 people worldwide 15 years ago. The community embracing a non-religious standard, open to multiple cultures and multiple religious sources, with the clear intent of keeping spirits as friends for daily life exchanged and mutual enjoyment is something unprecedented in the history of the world. Calling upon the spirit of a powerful creature has been attributed largely in beginning the Renaissance era, though isolate cases could very well have existed prior. As in Ancient times these beings still existed, roamed the Earth, and their participation & contribution to the populace at that time were in living form. They were not called upon to act in spirit, but were sought after and called upon to impart wisdom, power, justice, etc in living form. The act of calling upon Fae, Dragons, Elves, Gargoyles, and such were largely only after mass dwindling of numbers or extinction as the stories of the contributions of these entities when alive were still being passed from generation-to-generation, and people wanted the spirits of these entities to come and help them when they were in need of something they could provide. However, they were not considered day-to-day friends, they were considered to be guides, and support, during specific times. Typically a suitable offering would be made, and then one would make the request to the spirit desired, and the interaction between person & spirit would be on a case-by-case basis. Again, as the luxury of spare time and hobby were not known to those in ancient times in the great volume it is known to all of us today. As with most of the history of spirit summoning, the act of calling upon the spirits of these races of beings were done so by spoken, and not written, word. In large part, the act of summoning the spirits were short, small conjurations which simply requested the presence of a specific type of spirit, for a specific act. It was not to call the spirit to be a part of daily life, but to assist in a specific task related to that spirit's specific range of powers or influences in the Earthen Realm. In much of the recorded history of spirit summoning, spirit's are called for a specific purpose, with the exception largely being spiritual Guides, though some historians argue the Guides were not spirits, but actual, living entities. However, the result of using specific, recorded writings, pre-dating the Victorian era, for calling upon a Guide have produced spirits for some; which includes writings of ancient times. Jewelry is now a popular vessel, as the plentiful manufacturing of many little amulets, pendants, rings, charms, etc are readily available in a post-Industrial Age, modern world. However, it was not always plentiful as the ability to buy jewelry was largely a wealthy, or affluent, peron's luxury. Charms and jewelry made by an ancient world consisted of clay, wood, seeds, sturdy beans, stones, gemstones, sturdy foliage, hemp, and other natural materials that would be fashioned, and possibly dyed, by the wearer or someone they knew. In Spirit Keeping, up until the Victorian Era, the spirit would be attached to a hand-made vessel out of clay, wood, and the aforementioned natural elements, or directly to the person themselves. During the beginning of the 20th century photography was all the rage, and for those who could afford it they would have a photograph taken of the deceased person and use the photograph as the vessel through which they would attempt to contact the spirit of the deceased. Most people did not have a lot of money for decorative pieces like jewelry, or have a lifestyle where they could wear jewelry without possible risk of loss or damage. They would use something they already had, or was readily found in nature around them. The most common, natural vessels being wood or stone. This is specific to Creepy Hollows participation in Modern-Day Spirit Keeping, and only speaks to the works done by Magnolia & Ash. In the last 100 years Spirit Keeping has seen its greatest transformation. As the availability of time grew to accommodate people to develop hobbies and extracurricular activities, Spirit Keeping blossomed in many ways. It saw the marriage of magick & Spirit Keeping, which, contrary to what you might have thought, was not always hand-in-hand. Spirit Keeping is not, nor has it even been, exclusive to one religion, or to one spiritual belief, and therefore the marriage of magick & Spirit Keeping did not exist in the way it does today, by any stretch, not even in the last 50 years. Even today, there are Spirit Keepers and Spirit Conjurers who do not work with magick, they work strictly with summoning, or conjuring spirits. In the case of Magnolia & Ash, their marriage of para-technology and Spirit Keeping became a quest of the security for both of the Keeper and spirit, the ability for greater interaction between the Keeper and spirit, and more freedom of individual Keeper's preferences and behaviors to be integrated into a spirit binding. As well as the cultivation of Custom Conjurations which CH first offered to the public online. The ability to custom conjure is the ability to allow the spirit that best suits the potential Keeper to respond to an open conjuration designed specifically for a specific race, and the spirit that best matches the energy signature of the Keeper (energy signature is a CH-coined term which means the unique, identifying energy of a specific person for the purpose of reading them for psychic, magick, or conjuration needs). As opposed to the previous practice of conjuring a spirit, binding it to a vessel, and finding their proper home. This was the case previously because conjurer's would work on their craft, bind a spirit, have a client approach them for a need, and conjurer would pair them with the spirit they had which best fit their need. Magnolia & Ash continue to develop para-technology in the matter of Spirit Keeping which allows further freedom and security for the Keepers and spirits including their invention of methodologies like Bridging. As well as Magnolia & Ash did not adhere to one, specific religion when they brought Spirit Keeping online, which is also something unique to pre-Modern Day Spirit Keepers. Traditionally, someone keeps spirits that adhere to their specific culture and/or religion, whereas Magnolia & Ash, not claiming one religion's superiority over another, opened the gateway to working with spirits of entities & beings from ALL sources. Therefore, the breadth of their offerings, from the start was vast amongst the world and universe. Whereas, in early Spirit Keeping one would simply keep spirits that fit to their spiritual beliefs, or religion. This is still an active practice today and some choose to keep spirits strictly recognized by their religions. Though, in breaking this barrier, you now see many conjurers and Spirit Keepers willing to cross the limited threshold and span into a multi-cultural, multi-spiritual world of Spirit Keeping, something that had never existed before. Magnolia & Ash own a library of texts spanning over 2,000 years related to magick, spirits, and cultural & religious spiritual practices from which they have developed their own practices, and they remain proprietary to Creepy Hollows with the exception of having shared some of their developed conjurations or spells with other professional colleagues, and vice-versa. This is a standard practice for those who practice magick or spirit conjuration, as everyone develops their own way, and it is not a set standard of conjurations shared amongst practitioners. Many have asked why there is a gaping hole for literature concerning Spirit Keeping, in the way it is practiced now, and that is because what few, early texts do exist are privately owned, but even then, they are not the totality of what you see today. They are largely targeted & focused specifically to a type of entity, such as Agerward's Book of Fae Conjuration, or Mimo's Book of Dragon Conjuration. They were all privately published, no public publishing company ever published a book for spirit conjuration for daily friends such as Dragons, Fae, Elves, Vampires, until CH published its Spirit Keeping book, and even then it is nothing compared to what will come, in future, with a complete index of spirit conjurations."

"answer": "That is the question. There are a few projects we participate in with other organizations (for example, research of “Kamyana Mohyla”). We have grant or project financing there. But usually we are surviving with the sponsorship of volunteers, friends, kind people and at our own costs. There are not so much of them. The list with their names will be here faster than you can spell “Shulaveli-Shomutepinskaya culture”. We wish we had. We have some only if there are some grant finances for that. This is quite rare in Ukraine. The expeditions in Ukraine are really in good position if income exceeds costs. You can visit us join the archaeological tourism (teenagers and students usually take part in our excavations). You can also join our archaeology club (if you are teenager) if you want. Otherwise, you can support us with donation, we will be grateful to receive any help — food, goods, sleeping bags or any additional support. Any reinforcement is very essential to our science. Without your help archaeology would already be in the past as well as objects of its study."

"question": "Will PV Solar panels work on cloudy days and in winter?",
"answer": "Yes. Solar panel manufacturing technology has now advanced to an efficiencey level that panels will produce green electricity even on a overcast cloudy day. Solar PV works from daylight, however will produce more in direct sunlight."
},
{
"question": "What's the difference between PV and other solar panel technologies?",
"answer": "Solar PV systems convert solar radiation directly into electricity by means of PV cells made from semiconductor materials. Solar thermal systems (Wet solar water heating systems), use a solar collector that faces the sun and is used solely for heating water."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to have a south facing roof?",
"answer": "The most optimum for a PV installation is on a south facing roof. However Solar PV systems still generate sufficient electricity on east and west orientations. With a grid connected Solar PV system when your system produces more electricity than you need, the surplus will flow back into the national grid. Your electricity supplier will pay you extra for this surplus power that is exported. The export tariff is currently 3.1p per unit exported to the national grid. The Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) is a generation tariff paid for electricity produced by a solar photovoltaic electricity system. The tariff is paid for all electricity generated regardless of whether you use it or not and is currently a generous 43.3p per unit for a system under 4kWp. Solar PV systems are easily installed onto your existing roof, they provide great fuel security, with electricity prices going up and up, a Solar PV system is a great way to help secure you from future energy price rises."
},
{
"question": "How long does the Feed-in-Tariff last?",
"answer": "The Feed-in-Tariff will last 25 years once signed up however reviews are planned which may shorten the length of time that the scheme is open to new entrants."
},
{
"question": "Will the Feed-in-Tariff rates reduce?",
"answer": "When you sign up to the FIT scheme you are guaranteed that rate for 25 years index linked with RPI, however the rates will reduce every year for new enterants . The size of solar system you need depends on several factors such as how much electricity you use, how much daylight is available where you are, the size of your roof, and how much you're willing to invest. After talking through your requirements we will recommend the size of system you use. This all sounds great, but I want to know more. Feel free to contact us with any questions, or to arrange a free no obligation visit."

"question": "Where can I find the pattern?",
"answer": "A: Upon completion of the checkout forms (even for the free patterns) go to your email account that you provided. You will have two emails- one is a receipt and the other contains the link to the patterns. Click on the name of the pattern and you are good to go! It should end up in your downloads folder."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do you define \"Petite\"?",
"answer": "A: SBCC petites are 5 ft 4\" (1.63M) and under and 5'1\" (1.55M) is the base height for all SBCC patterns."
},
{
"question": "Q: What cup size do you draft for?",
"answer": "A: This is always a tricky question for me to answer. I don't believe one cup size fits all. Cups sizes tend to become larger as the rest of the body does, so I grade for increased dart compression on styles that feature bustling seaming and darts. For a thorough explanation check it out here."
},
{
"question": "Q: How do I download your free patterns?",
"answer": "A: Go to the product page and place in your shopping cart as if making a purchase. Fill out the info and you will get the file delivered to your email."
},
{
"question": "Q: Why do you need my information for a free pattern?",
"answer": "A: well, it's not me, it's the way the processing system was designed and I am not so tech savvy to figure out an easier way. No worries- your info is safe. I barely have time to brush my hair in the mornings let alone find ways to sell info or spam you. I'm busy making patterns. Q: I'm not a petite."
},
{
"question": "Can I still use your patterns?",
"answer": "A: sure, most styles have cut line indications for where to add the length. A good starting place for de-petiting would be to add 1\" to bodice lengths, 2+\" to hems and 1\" to sleeves. Of course it depends on your height, so making a muslin is a good idea. Q: My PDF pattern will not print/print to scale. A: Each operating system varies and your computer settings are out of my control. However, I can give you some tips: Download Adobe Reader. It's free and can be used for all kinds of PDF's not just patterns. It also has the easiest dialog and settings window when \"Print\" is selected. Check that scale is set to 100% and select the little box that says \"Actual Size\". There is a scale box on the first printed page for you to check, at which time you can cancel printing the whole pattern if this box is not right. All patterns have been pretested for scale and downloaded and printed successfully by many users, so I can assure you that I have not sent you a defective file. If you are having difficulties, I suggest restarting Adobe Reader and downloading the file again. Additionally, I suggest to print from your desktop as I have heard rumors of scaling issues when printing from a tablet or phone. Q: I am not sure of what size to buy as some of my measurements work for the XXS-L size range and some for the XL-3X size range. I am right in between. A: Each size range is a separate pattern: separate fittings, separate samples, separate models, separate grading. Basically all my costs are doubled because I offer two size ranges, so I need to recoup my expenses and am unable to offer the second size range for free. However, I am working on creating an overlapping size structure to eliminate this issue. You can always email me and we can discuss what size you should choose. A: At this point I dont have my act together- just yet. I can print in small print runs (10) max per style right now. If this fits the bill I can rig something up for you. However, currently it's not profitable for me to do the same amount of labor in a bulk situation (I know that sounds weird, but trust me on this one)."
},
{
"question": "Q: What skill level are your patterns designed for?",
"answer": "A: SBCC patterns are designed for intermediate/ advanced because it is assumed that basic techniques are understood, such as when to press and how to sew a dart, etc…However, if you are a patient beginner you will find that SBCC patterns sew together quite easily. Instructions leave room for the techniques that suit your skill level best."

{
"question": "How flexible or ‘in shape’ do I need to be to do yoga?",
"answer": "Yoga meets you at your present level of flexibility and strength. In class, you work at your own capacity. One great reason to start yoga is to build bone strength, core strength, and improve flexibility. Progress can be measured week by week. Beginning yoga students all have very different levels of flexibility and strength. Yoga helps one to become more physically strong and flexible over time."
},
{
"question": "How are your classes structured for yoga beginners?",
"answer": "New students are welcome to join any Level I class, or start with the Free Intro Class. The teacher works with each student, to assist you in achieving each pose. Sometimes that involves using props, like blankets or blocks. Most classes begin with standing poses, then focus on other types of poses, ending with deep relaxation. Each class builds upon the one before it, so you are always learning new variations and the depth of poses. The same teacher is present every week to enable your teacher to get to know you and your body. This enhances your learning experience."
},
{
"question": "How often do I need to come to class?",
"answer": "We believe that attending classes twice a week is the best way to learn. Many people do yoga as a daily practice, and the benefits are more evident with more regular practice – you will see your ability grow each week. Therefore, coming to class twice a week, as well as a cultivating a regular home practice, can be extremely beneficial. We assist our students in developing a home practice with practice sequence sheets, as well as workshops. We teach Iyengar Yoga. Many of today’s popular yoga styles evolved from the teachings of B.K.S Iyengar, the legendary yoga master who wrote the reference book on yoga \"Light on Yoga\" in the late 1960’s. Iyengar Yoga focuses on the body’s natural alignment to promote healthy joints, bones and muscles. Iyengar Yoga also uses “props” so that every student can work on every pose at their own ability. Iyengar Yoga teachers are trained extensively in the art of sequencing – the class is structured as a sequence of poses that warms you up, and then cools you down. To be effective teachers, yoga teachers need to have their own personal practice, as well as training from senior teachers. Our teachers are all highly trained in the Iyengar Yoga tradition and are required to continue their professional education with regular classes and further training. This ensures you a safe class, and the most recent, effective teaching techniques. To become a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher, CIYT, takes at least five years. Our teachers are supportive, and the environment is safe and welcoming."
},
{
"question": "How are your teachers trained?",
"answer": "Just come to the class that is at your level and most convenient for you. You do not need to sign up in advance for classes. Arrive a few minutes early before your first class so that you can register with us and meet the teacher to discuss any physical limitations you may have. Beginners can start with our Free Intro Class the first Saturday of each month at 1pm or a Level I class. If you practice yoga now regularly and you are not a beginner, try Level I-II class. Just bring yourself. We provide all equipment yoga beginners need for classes, including mats, at no extra charge. Feel free to bring your own mat if you like. Note: brand new mats are coated with an oil during their production which is best to be washed off before attending class. You can put the mat in the washing machine with a little bit of detergent and hang dry for best results. As for clothing, it’s best for yoga beginners to wear clothing that is not baggy so that the teacher can see the alignment of your body easily. Most of our students wear t-shirts and shorts, capris or stretchy pants. Just be comfortable and be aware that you may get warmed up. Yoga is practiced barefoot to give you the most traction on the mat. Iyengar yoga requires fresh air. We have a clean, well ventilated space. Our studio is not heated. Yoga is an ancient school of philosophy from India that believes in eternal truth. Yoga is not a religion. Yoga holds fast to principles that all life preserving cultures do. That is: non-violence, truth, non-stealing, continence, and non-hoarding. Regular yoga practice has positive effects on the five layers of your being. Physically: stability, stamina, balance, flexibility. Physiologically: vitality, wellness, feeling of lightness, increased blood circulation to organs. Mentally/emotionally: happiness, joy, steadiness to face life’s woes, contentment. Intellectually: heightened awareness, creativity, reflection. Spiritually: connection to your belief in the divine, surrender and letting go, inwardness. These are but a few testimonies of the effects."

"question": "What is the turn-around-time for laser die cutting?",
"answer": "Along with state-of-the-art roll-cutting, AGE Nameplate offers the quickness and accuracy of laser die cutting. Great for small volume orders or OEM prototypes where quick turn-around is critical to the development or production of your product – we’ll have your order ready in as little as three (3) working days."
},
{
"question": "What is the turn-around-time for multi-step screen print small format?",
"answer": "AGE Nameplate has the process technology to produce graphic overlays with complex designs, fine lines and curves, all with brilliant color. We can also combine digital processing where complex gradients or very fine text is required. For mixed processing we start by calling on our digital presses to effortlessly apply multiple colors, lines, and shapes in just one pass. Then we transfer rolls or sheets to the screen printers to apply as many layers as needed to create the ultimate graphic image. Backing materials, adhesives, and die-cutting complete the job. We offer many of our products in just 10 working days!"
},
{
"question": "What is the largest format AGE can produce?",
"answer": "AGE Nameplate produces Graphic Overlays, Labels, and Nameplates in any size using any combination of state-of-the-art digital and traditional silk-screen print processes."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between CMYK and Pantone?",
"answer": "CMYK is the standard for digital print 4-color process. With 256 variations (0~255) of each of 4 colors, the result is nearly 4.3 Billion color combinations. The differences between most combinations are so subtle that they are rarely detectable by the human eye. Pantone® has created 1,114 solid colors for easy use in 4 color digital processes."
},
{
"question": "Can Pantone colors be matched in a Digital process?",
"answer": "Precise color matching usually starts with a specimen provided by you. We color match the specimen to our digital printing equipment using spectrographic tools. Then we take the time to visually examine and determine the best corresponding CMYK (4 color) process. Differences in material substrates (plastic, paper, metal, etc) have different light characteristics that affect the visual result. As a final step, AGE Nameplate produces a press-proof for our customers to approve before moving into final production. The Pantone® Matching System (PMS®) is a reference tool for selecting, specifying, matching and controlling ink colors. The Pantone® formula guide, consisting of 1,114 solid PANTONE Colors on coated, uncoated and matte stock, shows corresponding printing ink formulas for each color. The digitally-created PANTONE Process Color System® chips and guides provide a comprehensive palette of more than 3,000 colors achievable in four-color (CMYK) process printing. The PANTONE solid to process guide compares a solid PANTONE Color to the closest possible match in CMYK four-color process that can be achieved on a computer monitor, output device or printing press. More information on Pantone® can be found at www.pantone.com."
},
{
"question": "What are the advantages of digital print?",
"answer": "Produce extremely detailed graphic images with digital process technology. Digital presses work by regulating the amount of ink applied to the substrate material. Six-color (6-color) digital presses like those at AGE Nameplate, allow two additional custom-colors to be blended with the standard CMYK. This greatly increases the potential for color-matching. Fine lines and complex gradients with intense color transitions produce graphic overlays with eye-catching results."
},
{
"question": "What are the advantages of silk screen printing?",
"answer": "Silk-screen printing is the staple of the printing industry. It provides durability, opacity, and color-blending flexibility that are unrivaled by any other process. Silk-screen inks are deposited onto the substrate thicker than digital inks. These inks bond to the substrate producing a finished product that lasts for many years, even in harsh environments and climates. At AGE Nameplate even our digital products are completed with a silk-screen background which helps to lock-in the digital inks, add opacity to otherwise translucent graphic overlays and enhance the color brilliance of the fine digital graphics. If color-matching is critical, then a silk-screened print process is your solution."
},
{
"question": "How can I change my graphic requirements to utilize 100% digital?",
"answer": "Generally speaking, anything that can be silk-screen printed can be produced digitally. The reverse is not always true: Silk-Screen printing adds opacity to your custom overlay – a feature that cannot be produced digitally. In addition, silk-screen print technology offers the ability to create custom blended colors not found in the CMYK spectrum. Six-color (6-color) digital presses like those at AGE Nameplate, allow two additional colors to be blended with the standard CMYK. This greatly increases the potential for custom colors."
},
{
"question": "Are there limitations to digital print?",
"answer": "Color blending (matching) and opacity are typically the only limitations to digital print technology. For very challenging graphics, AGE Nameplate may opt to combine digital printing with screen print process. The result is fine graphic details with brilliant color backing and opacity to hide the controls, switches, and housing materials behind the graphic overlay."
},
{
"question": "What is the role of conductive inks in membrane switches?",
"answer": "Special high-quality inks that contain metallic compounds, such as carbon or silver, are applied to a flexible polyester substrate using a silk-screen process. These inks carry electrical signals from the actuation point to a wiring harness, and eventually to an application processor in the main PCB of the OEM product."
},
{
"question": "What is the life expectancy of conductive inks?",
"answer": "At AGE, we use high-quality conductive inks to ensure low resistance, typically 30~50ohms per circuit (switch) depending upon the length of a given circuit. AGE performs on-going life tests and maintains empirical data – All polyester membrane switches are tested to exceed 1,000,000 (one million) actuation cycles per circuit. Membrane switches are comprised of several layers of processed materials. AGE Nameplate uses both digital and screen print processes to produce brilliant graphic overlays utilizing simple or complex designs provided by the OEM. Beneath the graphic layer is the circuit layer: Special high-quality inks that contain metallic compounds, such as carbon or silver, are applied to a flexible polyester substrate using a silk-screen process. These inks carry electrical signals from the actuation point to a wiring harness, and eventually to an application processor in the main PCB of the OEM product. Stainless Steel snap domes or embossed domes act as the switch actuation points."
},
{
"question": "Advantages: Membrane switches versus mechanical switches?",
"answer": "Quite simply, mechanical switches wear out sooner than membrane switches. In medical, food-service, and many factory automation applications, membrane switches are specified to meet bacterial requirements. Seamless graphic overlays cover and protect membrane switches, making them much easier to keep clean and bacteria-free than mechanical switches."
},
{
"question": "How many actuation’s can a membrane-switch withstand?",
"answer": "At AGE, we use high-quality conductive inks to ensure low resistance, typically 30~50ohms per circuit (switch) depending upon customer requirements. AGE performs on-going life tests and maintains empirical data – Polyester (aka “polydome”) membrane switches have been tested to exceed 1,000,000 (one million) actuation cycles. Stainless steel snap domes are specified by the manufactures at 1M~3M actuations."
},
{
"question": "Polyester Vs. Polycarbonate: What’s the difference?",
"answer": "Polyester is a slightly more rigid material, which makes it the best performer for membrane switches requiring 1million-actuations. From a cost standpoint, polyester is slightly more expensive than polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is easier to emboss, and because it is a more flexible material, it will conform to curved surfaces. Average life-expectancy from a membrane-switch standpoint is around 75k actuations per button. AGE Nameplate uses a system of roll-fed equipment to produce large-volume orders with exceptional quality and consistency. From complex graphic overlays to pressure-sensitive or adhesive labels, roll-fed equipment gets the job done on time."
},
{
"question": "Why does AGE Nameplate use both roll-to-roll and sheet feed equipment?",
"answer": "AGE Nameplate offers flexibility to its OEM customers. Our best customers turn to us for prototype runs that require a quick turn-around. Product development and proof-of-concept rely on the sheet-fed equipment that AGE is committed to keeping as part of its overall customer support program. When OEMs gear up for large production runs, they can count on AGE Nameplate to be ready with roll-to-roll processing from beginning to end."

"question": "Can I Ask for More Information about the Child I Want to Adopt?",
"answer": "Most children's agencies can provide more information about a child than they are able to include on a flyer, newspaper article, or website description. However, some of the child's information is considered confidential, and workers may want to share it only with those families they are seriously considering as adoptive parents. Once you have been selected for a particular child, adoption agencies are required to share with you any information that they have about the child, with the exception of identifying information about the birth family. Unfortunately, they may not always have a great deal of information, especially if a child has lived in several foster homes. It is important to ask for whatever is available, including medical reports, results of psychological or educational testing, and information about early development. In order for a child to be adopted, the birth parents have to relinquish legal parental rights. With most agency adoptions, a child is already legally free for adoption before a placement occurs. While cases where a parent changes his/her mind (usually before an adoption is finalized) are highly publicized, they occur infrequently. Once the adoption has been finalized, the biological parents have no legal tie to the child."
},
{
"question": "Can I Adopt a Child in a Different State?",
"answer": "Yes. The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA), passed in 1998, requires state agencies to speed up a child's move from foster care to adoption by establishing time frames for permanency planning and guidelines for when a child must be legally freed for adoption. The law also removes geographic barriers to adoption by requiring that states not delay or deny a placement if an approved family is available outside the state. Yes. In October, 1995, the Multi-Ethnic Placement Act (MEPA) became effective. This act and subsequent revisions bar any agency from discriminating because of race when considering adoption opportunities for children, if the agency receives federal funding. Another law affecting transracial adoption is the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which establishes provisions for the placement of Native American children. There are two stages in the adoption process: pre-placement and post-placement. Placement is when the child enters your home, pre-placement describes the time before and post-placement the time after. There is a pre-placement waiting period for all adoptions. The time frame, like the cost, varies with the type of child being adopted. With a completed homestudy in hand, the process to adopt a child with special needs can often proceed quickly and be completed within a few months. The wait is typically between two and seven years for a healthy infant. After placement, your agency will have to supervise your family for a legally-mandated length of time before finalization can occur. Typically this post-placement time period will be no less than six months from the time of placement. A homestudy is a series of meetings with a social worker to provide more in-depth information about adoption and help prepare an applicant for parenting an adopted child. The homestudy process varies from agency to agency. Some conduct individual and joint interviews with both members of a couple; others conduct group homestudies with several families at one time. Most ask applicants to provide written information about themselves and their life experiences. Agencies also require certain documents: a marriage license, birth certificate, medical report, criminal check and child abuse clearance. Personal character references are often required. The homestudy includes at least one visit to your home by an agency worker. The time it takes to complete the homestudy will vary from one agency to another, but families who are interested in children with special needs are usually given prompt attention."
},
{
"question": "How Does Foster Care Differ from Adoption?",
"answer": "Foster care is meant to be temporary shelter for a child; generally the plan is for the child to return to the parents when they are able to provide care. If that fails, the child is made available for adoption. Foster parents may be able to adopt the child in their care if the child becomes available, through a foster-adopt program with their agency. In fact, most adoptions in the United States are by children's foster parents. Beginning as a foster parent is also one way that you may be able to adopt a healthy infant or toddler. But you are not required to be a foster parent in order to adopt. While some agencies approve a family simultaneously for both foster care and adoption, a foster care homestudy and an adoption homestudy are not always interchangeable. If you are thinking about foster-adoption, it is important to inquire how an agency handles this. If you wish to become a foster parent, organizations which may be able to help you are the National Foster Parent Association, or the National Resource Center for Foster Care and Permanency Planning."
},
{
"question": "How Can I Adopt an Infant?",
"answer": "Depending on several factors, such as your openness to race and disabilities, you have a number of options available for adopting infants or toddlers. They include agency adoption (both public and private), private adoption, identified adoption, inter-country adoption and foster adoption. Whatever option you choose, you will need to complete the homestudy process to be eligible to adopt. We suggest that you contact a number of agencies to learn about their procedures for approving families for adoption. Remember, it is important to obtain fee information in writing from any agency, attorney, intermediary or consultant before starting the process."
},
{
"question": "How Can My Spouse Adopt My Child?",
"answer": "An adoption attorney can help. You can find one through your local bar association, listed in the telephone directory, or by contacting the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, at 202-832-2222 or www.adoptionattorneys.org. For this type of adoption, begin by contacting an attorney."
},
{

"question": "What Will it Cost to Adopt?",
"answer": "It is not costly to adopt a child with special needs. Often the agency has a sliding fee scale, and frequently there is little or no cost. Following the adoption, the children may receive subsidies to cover the medical and other necessary expenses, although the family is still likely to incur other costs, over the years, as they raise their child. Costs of adopting a healthy infant of any race through a private agency or attorney in the United States range from several hundred dollars to $30,000 or more. Inter-country adoptions are costly, as well. Families pay between $10,000 and $20,000 in fees, which may not include travel and living expenses while in the foreign country."

"question": "Is There Financial Assistance to Help Me Adopt?",
"answer": "Under both state and federal assistance programs, adoptive parents of children with special needs are eligible for a one-time payment of non-recurring adoption expenses. Such expenses include reasonable and necessary adoption fees, court costs, attorney fees, and other expenses. A growing number of companies and government agencies are offering adoption benefits, which can include a financial reimbursement for legal expenses, agency fees, medical expenses, post adoption counseling, and other expenses, as well as paid or unpaid leave time and help finding resources and referrals. Check with your employer to find out your company's policies. Loans and travel assistance may also be available through banks or travel agencies. For more information on loans and grants, you may want to contact the North American Council on Adoptable Children (NACAC) at 800-470-6665 or www.nacac.org or contact the National Adoption Foundation. Federal legislation was passed in June, 2001 that increases tax credits and exclusions for all adoptive families. The Hope for Children Act taking effect on January 1, 2002 provides an adoption tax credit of $10,000 for all adoptions from 2002 and thereafter, and a tax exclusion of up to $10,000 for employer-provided adoption benefits, effective in 2003. Learn more about tax benefits for adoptive parents visit the IRS."

"question": "Can I Receive Financial Assistance after Adoption?",
"answer": "Most children registered with agencies as having special needs have already been classified as eligible for financial assistance, also called subsidies. Sources of assistance may be federal or state funds. It is important to discuss subsidies with your social worker and local department of social services and to have a written adoption assistance agreement prior to adoption. Many children also receive medical assistance in the form of a Medicaid card. A child's eligibility for adoption assistance is based on the child's need and not that of the adopting parents. During the preparation for adoption, as you complete your homestudy, an agency social worker counsels you and provides information and support. Sometimes social workers will refer families to special interest groups for a particular child's needs. They may also provide information on adoptive parent support groups, a valuable resource. These may be general or specific to a certain type of child or family, for example the Committee for Single Adoptive Parents or the Latin American Parents Association. Some groups have newsletters and other written materials. Family preparation classes are offered by some agencies and required by others. Another very helpful option is an online family preparation class, the Foster Family to Forever Family available here."

"question": "What Services Are Available after Adoption?",
"answer": "After placement, many agencies offer post-adoption services to you. These can include support groups, individual and family counseling, workshops on specific topics of parenting, or ongoing contact with your social worker. If a child was receiving therapy or special schooling before the adoption, it will usually be continued. An employee assistance program at your workplace may also offer referrals for needed services."
},
{
"question": "How Can I Meet Other Adoptive Families?",
"answer": "Your social worker may be able to provide you with the names of other adoptive parents or information about an adoptive parent support group in your area. Some agencies will pair a waiting family with a \"buddy\" family who has already adopted a child with similar circumstances, while other agencies sponsor their own parent groups. The North American Council on Adoptable Children provides a searchable database of parent support groups throughout the United States and Canada. Select Post-Adoption Services on their website at www.nacac.org. You can also meet other families online."
