"question": "What is the main difference between a water filtration system and a water purification system?",
"answer": "In most cases, filtration will remove sediment and chlorine from the water, however, it will not remove all harmful contaminants like a purification system would."
},
{
"question": "How do I ensure the quality and pureness of my water?",
"answer": "We make sure to service and change our filters well within their lifespan, ensuring limitless pure water at all times. In most cases, bottled water is worse than tap water. Researchers have discovered that bottled water is subject to far less stringent safety tests than tap water, and is much more likely to be contaminated or become a source of infection. We already have a water purification system."

"question": "WHAT DO I DO?",
"answer": "NO TICKETS ARE BEING MAILED. When you ordered your ticket, a confirmation email was sent to the email address you entered. This confirms your order. You can either print your ticket to be scanned at the gate, or better yet, if you have one of them fancy smart phones, we can scan it from there. This is a great way to save paper, and you don't have to keep track of your paper ticket. We also are able to look up your order if you for whatever reason were unable to print it and can't access it from your phone. All ticket sales are final. We are sorry, but we are not able to provide refunds. Stuff happens. The resale of GrassRoots Festival tickets is allowed if you are unable to attend. Plan your arrival. In order to get your wristband, only arrive at times when the ticket windows are open. Once you get your wristband you can come and go at any time. The front gate (main gate) opens at noon on Thursday. The back gate (vehicle camper gate) opens at noon to vehicles only. Pedestrians may not enter the back gate until after 3pm on Thursday. Pedestrians must use the front gate. Our Across the Way area is open the week before. Visit the camping page for specific hours."
},
{
"question": "Do gates close?",
"answer": "Of course! The gates are open from the beginning of the festival 'til the end. You may come and go as you please. Do not remove your wristband. You must have your wristband on to get back into the festival."
},
{
"question": "Which gate do I go to?",
"answer": "If you are camping, please visit the Camping page on our website to find out what gate to enter in through upon arrival. If you are not camping, please enter through the main front gate located on Rt 96. Yes. But please note that space on the festival site is extremely limited, and though we actively follow and exceed New York State guidelines for the number of handicapped spaces to provide for a festival of our size, we cannot guarantee an on-site handicapped parking space for anyone. These spaces are first-come, first-serve. We strongly encourage you to park your car at the Across the Way parking area (there will be spaces reserved at the front of the lot) and ride the shuttle to the front gate. There is an accessible shuttle during peak hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday when on-site handicap parking is likely to be full. If you need to have your car near you and you are planning to stay for the whole weekend, and sleeping over: you'll need to purchase onsite vehicle camping. You must purchase this in advance. If you need to have your car close to you for medical reasons (i.e. oxygen tank), come to the front gate and explain to the volunteer who greets your car that you need to be near your car and they will show you where to park inside the front gate. However, there is extremely limited space here and can fill up. If you are not able to park at Across The Way because it is outside of shuttle hours, but don't necessarily need your car near you, come to the back gate and the volunteer who greets your car will show you a parking space near the back gate. You are more likely to find an available handicapped parking space entering the back gate than the front. GADABOUT Transportation Services will be providing a FREE shuttle service from Across the Way on Falls Road to the Festival Site during peak hours Thursday, Friday, and Saturday hours for those with accessibility needs. There is, indeed! It is located near the entrance of the General Store inside the festival (where the CDs and Tshirts are sold)."
},
{
"question": "Are food and beverages sold at the festival?",

There is a pharmacy (Kinney Drugs) next to the fairgrounds which carries convenience items, and there is also a service station (Byrne Dairy) right beside the festival site."
},
{
"question": "Can I bring my own cooler with food & drink?",

},
{
"question": "Can I have glass bottles at the festival?",
"answer": "No glass bottles are allowed anywhere inside the fairgrounds and coolers will be searched at the gate. Barefoot children are often the victims of broken glass cuts, so let's all try to keep the festival clean and safe for everyone. Also, please put all beverages in a cup or koozie, and don't forget to recycle!! Please, no pets! No dogs or pets of any kind allowed anywhere On-site or Across the Way... as much for the dogs' sake as the people's. Size of the dog doesn't matter. No pet or emotional support dogs. Only service dogs. Please respect this policy. Local kennels: The Lucky Dog Inn (607) 272-3708; Bed and Biscuit (607) 277-2126. On-site camping is sold in advance of the festival and does sell out.

},
{
"question": "What sort of facilities does the festival have?",
"answer": "All camping is primitive. There are no electric or water hookups. There are rustic showers both On-site and Across the Way. There are portable toilets both On-site and Across the Way. There are drinking water spigots throughout both areas as well."
},
{
"question": "will i be able to CHARGE MY PHONE?",
"answer": "Your cell phone should work just fine at the festival. And, yes! With the support of Renovus Solar, we now offer a solar-powered charging station for cell phones and other gadgetry. You can find it at the Sustainability Fair on the track toward the Grandstand Stage."
},
{
"question": "Can I take photographs or video at the festival?",
"answer": "Amateur photography is always welcome, and if you happen to get any great snapshots, we'd love to have you send us a copy! Videotaping your family and friends is also okay. However, any videotaping of bands must be strictly for home or personal use and may NOT be sold or broadcast for any reason without the explicit permission of both the festival and the artist. Audio-taping is allowed by the festival, but permission needs to be maintained by each individual band. Sound board patches may not be made available at all shows. A soundboard patch is available at the discretion of the GrassRoots staff and the performing artist. Plan on providing your own power. Come prepared. I have an urgent question or concern."
},
{
"question": "Who do I call?",
"answer": "Before the festival begins, you may call the main office at (607) 387-5098. However, during the festival, the office is CLOSED. There is no phone number to call on the festival site. All issues must be dealt with at the front gate (box office window) when you arrive, or they must wait until after the festival. If you have a ticket issue, most likely it can be dealt with at the gate. If you have an emergency, contact the Trumansburg Police at (607) 387-6505."
},
{
"question": "How can I be reached in case of an emergency?",
"answer": "Get in touch with the Trumansburg Police at (607) 387-6505. We are in constant contact with the local law enforcement agencies during the festival and they will alert us."
},
{
"question": "What do I do if I get separated from my child?",
"answer": "Lost and found children are taken to the Emergency Medical Services tent (if you're walking in the front gate, turn left, and you'll find it there). We provide younger children with a paper arm band and ask parents to write their cell phone number on this band, so if we find your little one, we can easily get in touch with you. It's also a good idea to show your kids where the Emergency Medical Services tent is located, and perhaps point out the fact that the paramedics and EMTs are wearing a special color shirt as are the security guards, so if they get lost, finding one of those people will be safe and easy."
},
{
"question": "Is there medical personnel at the festival?",
"answer": "There are ambulances and a full time, professional staff of trained medical personnel at the Emergency Medical Services tent on-site. There is also an Emergency Medical Services tent at the Across the Way area and an ambulance on call to this area. The EMS staff does NOT dispense medication of any kind, so please be sure to bring those items with you. If you have insulin or any other medication that needs refrigeration or storage, bring it to them as soon as you arrive, and they will happily store it for you. They can also provide power for things like nebulizer treatments; again, check in upon arrival and introduce yourself."

{
"question": "Why should I choose skin friendly jewelry from Blomdahl?",
"answer": "Contact allergies can develop at any time in life and you can for example become allergic to nickel if you use jewelry containing nickel. Approximately 20% percent of all women suffer from nickel allergy. Although nickel allergy is the most common type of contact allergy, jewelry can contain many other allergens, such as cobalt, gold, epoxies and acrylates. They may also contain toxic, carcinogenic or otherwise unhealthy substances, such as lead, cadmium, formaldehyde, phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA). Blomdahl skin friendly jewelry is developed in consultation with skin specialists to be suitable for everyone who wants to avoid contact allergies and other health risks. We use only the safest materials. Blomdahl is recommended for children and adults who want to be able to wear jewelry every day, without having to worry about their skin and health."
},
{
"question": "What materials make our jewelry a safe choice for all, even for those with allergies?",
"answer": "For earrings, you can choose from carefully selectedtitanium and plastic, of pure medical quality. Our coating is only applied to the portion of the earrings that don’t come into close contact with your skin. The part of the earrings which are constantly in contact with your skin are always made from pure, medical titanium. Bracelets and necklaces from Blomdahl have a beautiful and skin friendly gold or silver colored coating which has been applied on high quality surgical, stainless steel (316L). As chains and pendants do not sit as close to the skin as rings, earrings do, they can be completely covered with our skin friendly coating. To protect your skin and your health, Blomdahl uses a coating that has been developed in consultation with skin specialists. This unique, ceramic (durable) coating makes the bracelets and necklaces up to 300 times safer, compared to the same jewelry without this coating. Therefore our skin friendly jewelry is suitable for everybody, even if you have nickel allergy. All our skin friendly jewelry comply with 2004/96/EC (“The EU Nickel Directive”), and the limits for cadmium and lead as stipulated by EU regulation, (REACH). Furthermore, we have gone further than required by the regulations, i.e. the nickel content and/or the nickel release is 0 % or so close to 0 %, that our jewelry cannot cause nickel allergy. Remember to handle your skin friendly jewelry carefully. That way it will stay beautiful for longer. When you don't use it, keep the jewelry in a Clean Pack. Remove your jewelry when showering. Avoid exposing your jewelry to makeup, hair care products, alcohol and other chemicals. In order for your jewelry to retain its shine, remove and clean it with uncolored soapy water regularly. For earrings made out of medical plastic, this also means that the earring backs will be more secure. Earrings made out of medical plastic are usually quite resistant, yet the posts, hooks and pendants are soft and need to be handled carefully. Do NOT clean medical plastic earrings with alcohol or peroxide. In order to make the titanium earring backs tighter and therefore more secure, press the loops of the earring back slightly together before use."
},
{
"question": "Why is all jewelry from Blomdahl delivered in hygienic packaging?",
"answer": "In order to guarantee that you are the first person to come into contact with your new jewelry, we deliver it in our Clean Pack. It keeps the jewelry hygienic until the packaging is opened. The label acts as a seal. Even if jewelry is marked nickel-safe/nickel-tested/nickel-free, it does not mean that it is entirely free of nickel. This is because nickel is present in virtually all metals, sometimes as a mixed in ingredient and sometimes as a contaminant. The EU Nickel Directive (2004/96/EC) limits the amount of nickel that jewelry is allowed to leak. However, even if these guidelines are being followed, people who are extra sensitive are still at risk of developing nickel allergy. If you use Blomdahl you will not have to worry about nickel, cadmium, lead or any other harmful substances. Our jewelry is developed in consultation with skin specialists to be suitable for everyone, even those who suffer from allergies."
},
{
"question": "What makes ear piercing with Blomdahl safe?",
"answer": "Medical ear piercing from Blomdahl is based upon what within the health care industry is known as “modern aseptic technique” and is carried out using sterile disposable products. This means that our products and methods are safely designed in order to avoid the spreading of infections when piercing. Our piercing earrings are developed in consultation with skin specialists to be suitable for everyone, even those who suffer from allergies. You can choose between carefully selected plastic and titanium of pure medical qualities. The piercing earrings are designed to facilitate the healing process. For instance, the earring backs on Blomdahl piercing jewelry are always fixed at the tip of the post where it encapsulates the tip. The piercing jewelry is also designed to make the hole slightly wider in the beginning, which eases the switch to normal earrings after the healing period. Our quality-assured manufacturing takes place in Halmstad, Sweden, in accordance with ISO 13485, an international quality standard for medical devices. This means that we have full control and traceability over all stages of production, from materials used to finished product."
},
{
"question": "How is an ear piercing carried out?",
"answer": "Watch our video to see how an ear piercing is carried out in a safe way using Blomdahl."
},
{
"question": "Why is it so important to choose safe materials when having your ears pierced?",
"answer": "Approximately 15 percent of all women suffer from nickel allergy, which is the most common form of contact allergy. Contact allergies can develop at any time in life, and an ear piercing makes the skin more vulnerable to inappropriate materials, such as nickel, gold, palladium, cobalt and so on. That is why Blomdahl use only the safest materials. Our piercing earrings are developed in consultation with skin specialists to be suitable for everyone, even those who suffer from allergies. You can choose between carefully selected plastic and titanium of pure medical qualities. Pure medical titanium is the safest metal. It is the same type of material that is used for medical purposes, for example in dental implants. Therefore, if you wear earrings made from pure, medical titanium, you will not have to worry about nickel and other harmful substances when having your ears pierced. Pure medical plastic is unique in that it contains 0% nickel. It is made of the same type of material that is used to sew the skin, so called skin sutures. It has been used for over 40 years within the health care industry and there are no reported cases of allergy. Therefore, if you wear earrings made from medical plastic, you will not have to worry about nickel and other harmful substances when having your ears pierced."
},
{
"question": "How do I take care of my newly pierced ears?",
"answer": "An ear piercing is in fact a small wound. It is important to take proper care of it throughout the healing period (approx. 6–12 weeks), in order to avoid it getting infected. By following the aftercare instructions, you can minimize the risk of infection. In the written aftercare instructions you are advised to clean the hole thoroughly twice a day, using soap and water or Blomdahl Piercing Aftercare cleansing swabs, which are gentle on the skin and easy to use. Watch our video on how to clean a newly pierced ear."
},
{
"question": "Why should I avoid rotating/twist the piercing earring?",
"answer": "A common misconception is that, if you do not rotate the piercing earring, the skin will get stuck to it. This is not true. What is true is that rotating the piercing earring without first having cleaned your ear, earring and hands thoroughly, can infect the ear piercing."
},
{
"question": "When can I remove the piercing earring?",
"answer": "If you have had an earlobe pierced, you can remove and replace the piercing earring after 6 weeks, at the earliest. It takes longer for a hole in the cartilage to heal, so if you have had your cartilage pierced, we recommend that you leave the piercing earring for at least 12 weeks."
},
{
"question": "How do I remove the piercing earring?",
"answer": "To remove the piercing earring: Wash hands and ears thoroughly. A good time to remove the piercing earring is right after a shower/hair wash. With one hand, take hold of the jewelry part (front) of the piercing earring. With the other hand, take hold of the earring back and wiggle it back and forth, until you feel it loosens. Carefully remove the piercing earring and insert a clean earring. Piercing earrings are only intended to be used during the healing period."
},
{
"question": "What should I bear in mind after having replaced the piercing earrings with normal earrings?",
"answer": "Always wear earrings. If you go without, the holes can shrink and/or close completely. Take extra care when changing earrings. The skin that has grown within the holes is still thin and delicate and can easily tear, which may cause an infection. Therefore, always make sure to wash your earrings and your hands before the change, and make sure that the area around the holes is kept clean, dry and airy. If you use earrings with earring backs, these should not be pressed tightly against the back of the ear. The risk for developing a contact allergy is at its greatest during the first year. This is why it is extra important to wear safe earrings during this time. In consultation with skin specialists, Blomdahl has developed skin friendly jewelry suitable for everybody and especially for those who have just pierced their ears."

http://wyan.org/Cable-TV/Digital-Adapter-FAQs.aspx | [
{
"question": "What is a Digital Adapter?",
"answer": "A Digital Adapter is a one-way video device that allows an analog TV to display channels that have been transmitted to the home in a digital format. The Digital Adapter has a \"Cable In\" and \"To TV\" output and ‘Power Cord’. Your TV watching experience should be the same on that TV as it is today. The Digital Adapter does not support any advanced video services such as: HD channels, the Interactive Program Guide, VOD (Video on Demand), Pay-per View nor does it offer additional channels available with Digital Expanded service. The Digital Adapter comes with an easy-to-use remote control and is much smaller than current receiver boxes."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if my TV needs a Digital Adapter?",
"answer": "Your TV does not currently have Wyandotte Cable digital equipment (the coaxial cable goes directly from the wall to the TV). Your TV does not have a built-in QAM digital tuner. The FCC requires new TVs to have built-in tuners. If you have a TV with a built-in North American cable ready QAM digital tuner, you will not need a Digital Adapter in order to continue to enjoy your Wyandotte Cable Basic Channel lineup."
},
{
"question": "How do I determine if my TV has a digital tuner?",
"answer": "Refer to your TV owner's manual to determine if your TV has a built in QAM digital tuner. If there is no information in the owner's manual, the TV probably does not have a digital tuner. Another way to determine if your TV has a QAM digital tuner is to look at the TV remote control. If the remote has a dot (.) or a dash (-) button, the TV probably does have a digital tuner, as those buttons are often used in programming the tuning of a digital tuner TV. Connect the coaxial cable directly from your cable outlet to your television. There should not be any other pieces of equipment connected between the cable wall outlet and the television (Digital Adapter, VCR, DVD player, etc.). Use the remote that came with your TV to tune your TV set to Channel 88.4 or 88-4, depending on whether you have a dot or dash on your remote control. If you see the programming for Music Choice Channel playing on the screen, you will not need a Digital Adapter on that TV. Please allow up to two minutes for video to appear. Select the Auto Program, Auto Tune, or Auto Scan Option (you may have to find this in ‘Settings’ or some other menu tab). You will need to rescan or auto program your television when Wyandotte Cable channels are reorganized, added or removed."
},
{
"question": "What if I have a TV with a compatible built-in digital tuner?",
"answer": "Television sets with built-in QAM digital tuners do not need to be connected to Wyandotte Cable equipment to enjoy Wyandotte Cable Expanded Basic Cable service. If your TV has a built-in digital tuner, you will need to rescan (auto program) your television each time Wyandotte Cable channels are reorganized, added or removed."
},

"question": "Can I watch my local broadcast channels in HD without attaching any additional Wyandotte Cable equipment?",
"answer": "If you have an HD television set with a compatible built-in QAM digital tuner, you can continue to view your local broadcast channels in HD without any additional Wyandotte Cable equipment. If you do not have an HDTV set with a built-in QAM digital tuner, you need a Wyandotte Cable HD Receiver in order to receive HD channels, including your local broadcast channels. You will need Wyandotte Cable digital equipment (Basic Digital Receiver or HD Receiver) to receive any satellite programming services."

"question": "How do I program my VCR to record using a Wyandotte Cable Digital Adapter?",
"answer": "Set your VCR to record channel 3 for the time the program is airing. Tune the Digital Adapter to the channel you want to record. The VCR can only record the channel that your Digital Adapter is tuned to. To record different programs at different times, you will need to change the channel on your Digital Adapter."

"question": "What is the consequence of disobeying God?",
"answer": "SHAFAQNA – Explaining about the short eloquent saying number 25 of Imam Ali (AS) in Nahjul Balaghah, the Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli said: Sometimes you see a human being slips couple of times in life and God punishes him/her. Imam Ali (AS) said: If you see Divine Blessings come regularly and you disobey (God) all the time, avoid (disobeying God); because it is possible that suddenly God takes away everything from you. Therefore, we have been told: Any time a Divine Blessing is granted to you, give thanks to God. Giving thanks for a blessing is that you become aware that the blessing is from a Beneficent Being and use/spend that blessing in its rightful place."

"question": "What if I was a victim of identity theft and am not aware or responsible for this incident?",
"answer": "Civil Demand is a penalty fee (tort claim not a debt) that pertains specifically to theft (or attempted theft) of merchandise whether by a shoplifter or an employee. Civil Restitution requires individuals to pay back the value of the goods or monies stolen as agreed to when the subject signed a promissory note. Retailers incur significant expenses related to theft, even when the merchandise is recovered by the merchant. These expenses include security equipment as well as the security personnel’s time spent to detect and prevent shoplifting. Civil Recovery laws were enacted to provide the retailer with reimbursement for such expenses. In addition, these penalty fees are intended to serve as a deterrent against shoplifting as well as a punishment for the act. No. The civil penalty is a fee to compensate the merchant for expenses incurred due to the theft, not to pay for the specific merchandise stolen. Therefore, the subject is not entitled to receive the product that was attempted to be stolen. Each state has passed specific guidelines that determine the amount of the penalty. Some statutes do consider the retail value of the merchandise into the formula, while others states allow for retailer discretion. The amount demanded on the letter is a settlement offer on behalf of our client based upon the state guidelines. The applicable statute number is provided on the letter. Yes, the civil penalty is a separate issue from any criminal case that may be pending. At the time of the apprehension, the retailer has the right to decide to criminally prosecute a shoplifter, which will result in the criminal case being handled by the local courts or state attorneys. Our law firm is only handling the civil issue and therefore do not have any control or information about any criminal proceedings. If you made partial or complete payment of your fine at the store, please contact our office (toll free 1-866-768-0844) or mail us proof of payment. It is possible that this information has not yet been communicated to our office. We will promptly contact our client and verify the correct balance of your case. If your credit card is declined, you may try another form of payment such as a different credit card or eCheck. You may also call our office (toll free 1-866-768-0844) to speak with a representative who will promptly process your payment. In order to confirm payment receipt or the current balance of your case, please feel free to call our office (toll free 1-866-768-0844) during our normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Once the fine has been paid in full, a release letter will be automatically mailed out in states where required by the statute guidelines-- Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and District of Columbia. In all of other states where this is not a requirement, you must request a release by mail or by calling our office (toll free 1-866-768-0844). Most state laws recognize anyone under the age of 18 years old as a minor. Provided that the minor has not been emancipated, the parent or guardian is responsible for the minor’s actions and in turn, the civil penalty sustained based upon their theft. If there is joint custody for the minor, the division of payment responsibility must be worked out between the parents. All correspondence will be directed to the contact information provided at the time of apprehension. We will gladly speak to your attorney regarding your case. Please advise your attorney to mail or fax a letter of representation to our office. The letter must be on the attorney’s letterhead and contain your name, case number and your position regarding this civil matter. If you do not believe you are the person responsible for the civil penalty, please notify our office as soon as possible so we can investigate the matter further."

"question": "Who is the club for?",
"answer": "A. Any children in key stage 1 and 2. We usually suggest children are in year one before starting as it’s a fairly long school day and they need to be able to cope with fundamentals such as reading basic text and cutting with scissors. Q."
},
{
"question": "What do you mean by design?",
"answer": "A. Our classes are specifically created to be centred around design - this is partly because most children already undertake art practice during the main school day - painting and sculpting etc. Instead we have taken the basics of a typical graphics/foundation course and have scaled it down into child-centred topics. We also encourage them to feel positive about the subject rather than position it as more homework! Q."
},
{
"question": "So what do you do then?",
"answer": "A. We normally have a theme - which the children typically explore through two exercises. Normally there is a micro-lecture (literally 3 A4 pieces of paper) and a good old group chat about the topic. Then the children get going on designing - but not without working on the idea and elements such as choice of palette first. Q."
},
{
"question": "What skills will they learn?",
"answer": "A. The children will learn skills in drawing - though from our experience a standard drawing techniques lesson does not go down well! They will learn how to consider an idea (and sometimes a brief) and how to take this forward to suit the target audience. This includes conceiving appropriate colours/illustrations/forms etc. For example when we design buildings they are always asked to name the ‘client’. Over the years we have seen children learning to think and plan before they do, making vast improvements in their fine motor skills, and learning to look to the world around them for influences and ideas. They also become aware of contemporary trends in visual and cultural design. We explore design from around the world too. Q."
},
{
"question": "Why do you 'template' things?",
"answer": "A. Increasingly we have to print base templates for the children. We have found it is much easier for them to start off from something rather than nothing - but we always welcome it when they go ‘off-piste’ and move a design away from the base template. This is particularly the case for KS2 where we challenge the children a little more. NOTE: occasionally we will have a ‘do as you like week’ this is NOT because we are lazy - but because the kids deserve the freedom to do just that with their creativity now and then and we are good at helping them build on those ideas. A. Talk with them about what they were trying to achieve that week - and praise them for thinking as well as doing - we often see children talk and sketch amazing ideas even if they don’t quite have the time or skill to fully realise them. We used to worry about the amount of things the children took home, but we really know it’s more important for them to feel pleased with one element than rush through several. Some children rush everything whereas some deliberate for ages - and we work with both. You can also help by telling us if your child has any special educational needs as it would be hugely helpful if we know how best to work with them, otherwise a helper can spend the whole session with one child. Finally, don’t forget their snack (major traumas there) and thanks for not sending nut-based food in. Q."
},
{
"question": "What may I not be seeing?",
"answer": "A. 1. Fun! We try and create a really fun, relaxed atmosphere. One very popular element is News - the children LOVE saving up their news to tell the group and we really build a team that way. They sense they are in a ‘club’ and share easily, even if this does sometimes take more than five minutes. 2. Singing - sometimes when a good song comes on, many of the children sing along whilst working. 3. Laughs - we have in-jokes such as repeating each week that someone has a dog or the next consecutive piano lesson as a news item. Plus a running joke re lost teeth. 4. Design critiques - we stand up and those who wish to (normally everyone!) show and discuss their work. 5. Mess - you would not believe it! 5. Designer of the week - always tricky not to disappoint but children get a chance to win a very small prize - and this is based on effort and attitude not skill. Q."
},
{
"question": "Will the price go up?",
"answer": "A. Our price has not risen for four years but will need reviewing at some point due to increased costs of materials and inflation. Our price still compares well to other forms of childcare and certain clubs in Winchester. A. Yes the children often do. A. Yes if they’ll have us! We would also like to offer a KS3 class one day if there is sufficient interest."

{
"question": "Are memberships limited in number?",
"answer": "Yes, we limit membership to maintain a ratio of members-to-boats that assures everyone plenty of opportunity to use all of the boating days your membership provides, and even more as your spring and late season schedule permits, during the Rex Boating Club’s “nearly limitless” Off-Peak Season."
},
{
"question": "Will I get a boat on the most popular summer weekends and holidays?",
"answer": "Absolutely, as long as you plan ahead. Like reservations for court times (tennis) or tee times (golf), the earlier you reserve, the more likely you are to get your preferred reservation. Members may make one reservation per Peak Season weekend, and the boating times on Saturday and Sunday begin with a choice of an AM or PM 5-hour session. If you want to go out on both weekend days, you may make a Standby reservation for the 2nd use. Rex Boating Club limits the number and types of memberships each season, to assure that all members have plenty of opportunity to make the most of their memberships. We’ve learned that if you schedule within seven (7) days of your desired weekend use date you’re often successful, and we can often say “yes” for even “day of” requests make on Peak Season weekend days! Member usage is light most weekdays and normally allows up to 11 hours on the water. Simply make your reservation 24/7 online using our real-time scheduling system to confirm the date of your choice. You will have plenty of opportunity to make the most of your Club membership."
},
{
"question": "Who can drive the boat?",
"answer": "Our insurance company requires an Authorized Operator to be a member no less than 25 years old."
},
{
"question": "Do I need boating experience to become a member?",
"answer": "No! In fact, most of our members had no boating experience before joining the Rex Boating Club. We specialize in creating safe, competent, confident boaters! Included in your membership is a one-day safe boating class to earn you a lifetime Connecticut Safe Boater Certificate (SBC), an easy quiz for anyone. Out-of-state certificates are transferable. Most importantly, your membership includes our private comprehensive on-water boat orientation and instructional session, which features a U.S. Coast Guard licensed Rex Boating Club training captain, on the same Club boats you will use all summer. By the end of the session, you will be comfortable and confident traveling about Norwalk Harbor, prepared to see and visit all of the exciting place and enjoy all of the boating fun that Long Island Sound offers."
},
{
"question": "How many guests may be brought on the boat?",
"answer": "The “captain” may invite as many guests as the Club’s stated capacity for a given boat. Most of our boats safely handle up to 12 people."
},
{
"question": "Are there additional costs or fees?",
"answer": "You only pay for the fuel you use. Boat instrumentation is used to determine fuel usage, saving you a visit to the fuel dock. You will receive an itemized statement listing fuel charges. CT sales tax applies to membership cost. A deductible applies in the event of damage. While most members pay in full before boating each boating season, we do offer payment options. Membership and our season runs April 15th through October 15th. There is a 2% discount if you pay for membership by check; we also accept MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Ask about our monthly payment plans, too. You can reserve your membership anytime with a refundable deposit. CT sales tax and fuel are additional."
},
{
"question": "Do I need special gear or equipment?",
"answer": "No, each boat is equipped with GPS, a depth finder, a VHF ship-to-shore radio, life jackets, and all other safety gear required by state and federal laws. Members may bring along their own fishing gear on boats designed for fishing. In addition, the Rex Marine Store offers convenience items like ice, soft drinks, snacks, and gear for tubing and other water sports. Most of our Rex Boating Club crew members are college students who have a love for (and often a family background on) Long Island Sound waters. You will find them well-trained, professional, helpful, and friendly. They know that the Rex Boating Club’s only purpose is to provide safe, convenient boating fun for our members and their families and friends."
},
{
"question": "What am I responsible for when I’m done with the boat for the day?",
"answer": "Great question, glad you asked! Before you arrive, our dock managers will have fueled your boat and emptied the “head” (bathroom, in nautical terms). These are time consuming and not particularly pleasant tasks that we know our members would prefer not to do. Not all Boating Clubs offer these services, so be sure to ask if you’re considering other clubs! At Rex Boating Club, we’re happy to take care of these tasks for you."
},
{
"question": "How does Rex Boating Club keep its fleet looking and operating like new?",
"answer": "Boats require ongoing proper care and maintenance. This isn’t always easy and requires an excellent, full-service marine facility with a large parts inventory and a Service Department staffed with “factory-certified” techs. That’s what we have at Rex Marine Center! A boat lift on site enables the boats to be hauled, often up to three (3) times per week for inspections, routine maintenance, proper cleaning, and, of course, emergency repairs, so a damaged boat gets back into the service of Club members properly and quickly. For a boating club to provide the highest levels of service, that its members deserve, these capabilities are absolutely essential. If you are considering other clubs, be sure to verify these capabilities are on-site; most similar local clubs cannot match those found at Rex Marine Center. Without such capabilities, turn-key, consistently attractive, reliable, and well-maintained boats are not possible."
},
{
"question": "There are other boating clubs in Connecticut – how do I compare?",
"answer": "Once you have reviewed the online and brochure details of Rex Boating, you owe it to yourself to visit the facility, ideally by appointment. A visit is worth 10,000 words and we believe you’ll see the difference. I personally handle most facility tours, which are respectful of your time (we keep them brief) while encouraging you to spend as much time as you like, to get a good feel for who we are and how we run the club. We also have an excellent Better Business Bureau rating and, if you ask friends or colleagues, or check online, you’ll find that the Rex Boating Club (established in 2005) has the same excellent reputation as Rex Marine Center, our family business since 1936, where I have been General Manager for over 30 years."
},
{
"question": "Why is boating better in Norwalk?",
"answer": "Boating is better in Norwalk because of the Norwalk Islands, one of only two large Island clusters in Long Island Sound. The Islands offer dozens of safe, protected anchorages, several quiet beaches to relax and catch some rays, as well as picnic and camping sites, bird-watching, beachcombing, scenic beauty, watersports sites, and very good fishing. All just a mile or so from Rex Marine Center, where you can travel just 10 – 15 minutes out yet feel like you’re a million miles away from your shoreside concerns. Without the Islands, there is just open water – fine to travel through but lacking in things to do when compared to the Norwalk Islands. Adjoining towns are nice places to start from but our members and Rex Marine Center boaters tell us that the Islands are their favorite “go to” destinations. Plus, there are many Long Island and CT shoreline destinations within an hour of Rex Marine Center."

"answer": "Do not eat or drink anything except water while driving your vehicle. Try not to eat or drink anything other than water for about twenty minutes before starting your vehicle."
},
{
"question": "Is there anything else I can’t do?",
"answer": "The devices are alcohol sensitive, so anything that contains alcohol must be avoided. This includes cough syrup with alcohol (it will say on the label), cologne, hand sanitizer (for example, Purell), etc. If you fail a test there will be a temporary lockout. During the lockout period rinse your mouth out with water. After your lockout period provide another breath sample. Failure to provide another breath sample is considered a violation. Call our office to describe the situation."

"question": "What data supports the use of new oral anticoagulants in special populations (hepatic impairment, obesity, pregnancy, lactation, and pediatrics)?",
"answer": "Obesity remains a prevalent, serious health issue in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 78.6 million American adults and 12.7 million children and adolescents (2 to 19 years of age) are obese.1,2 Obesity plays a significant role in some of the leading causes of preventable death including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.1 In addition, the annual medical cost of obesity is considerable - $147 billion (2008 dollars) - with obese individuals experiencing significantly higher medical costs than those of normal weight. In the 1960s, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first agents for short-term (few weeks) adjunctive therapy of obesity in combination with exercise, behavioral modification, and caloric restriction – phentermine and diethylpropion.4-6 For almost 4 decades, these were the only approved agents for obesity management until the approval of orlistat, a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor, in 1999.4,7 In 2012, lorcaserin and the combination of phentermine/topiramate were approved.8,9 Finally, in 2014, liraglutide and naltrexone/bupropion became available for chronic weight management.4,10,11 Table 1 summarizes general information regarding the available pharmacologic agents for obesity. The advantages and disadvantages associated with each weight loss medication including cost, degree of weight loss, long-term efficacy data, and safety profile were evaluated in the guideline. The dose may be increased further if sufficient weight loss does not occur. The maximum available dose is 15 mg phentermine/92 mg topiramate. *Alli is the over-the counter brand name for orlistat; Xenical is the prescription brand name. SC = subcutaneous. The Endocrine Society-appointed Task Force of experts developed the guideline using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system to describe the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence.4 A summary of recommendations made by the Task Force is presented in Table 2. Diet, exercise, and behavioral modification should be included in all approaches to obesity management for individuals with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 and other tools such as pharmacotherapy (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 with comorbidity or BMI > 30 kg/m2) and bariatric surgery (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2with comorbidity or BMI > 40 kg/m2) be used as adjunctive therapy. Pharmacologic therapy may increase adherence to behavior modification and improve physical functioning so that exercise becomes easier with time. Candidates for obesity medications include patients who have a history of being unable to successfully lose and maintain weight and who meet label indications. The administration of approved weight loss medications is suggested (versus no therapy) to ameliorate comorbidities and increase adherence to behavior modification in certain obese patients. Phentermine and diethylpropion are not recommended for use in patients with uncontrolled hypertension or a history of heart disease. For any patient prescribed pharmacologic therapy for obesity, efficacy and safety monitoring should occur at least monthly for the initial 3 months and then at least every 3 months thereafter. If a patient’s response to pharmacologic therapy is effective (i.e., weight loss ≥ 5% of body weight after 3 months) and safe, treatment should be continued. If there is a lack of response or safety issues occur, therapy should be discontinued and an alternative treatment approach undertaken. If pharmacologic therapy for chronic weight management is undertaken, dosing should be initiated at the lowest dose and escalated based on efficacy and tolerability to the recommended dose. Administering doses above the maximum approved dose is not recommended. For obese patients with type 2 diabetes, administration of a GLP-1 analog or SGLT2 inhibitor is recommended to promote weight loss in addition to the recommended first line agent, metformin. Lorcaserin and/or orlistat are recommended weight loss agents for patients with cardiovascular disease. Beyond the recommendations in Table 2, the guideline discusses the need to consider alternatives to medications that cause weight gain for various disease states and conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, depression, epilepsy, schizophrenia, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and contraception.4 Examples include recommendations to use weight-neutral antipsychotics and oral contraceptives over injectable formulations if possible. Finally, the guideline suggests against the off-label use of medications approved for other disease states for the sole purpose of weight loss. Obesity continues to be a serious health concern for millions of American adults and children. The cornerstone of obesity management includes increased physical activity and reduced caloric intake; however, other approaches such as surgery and drug therapy also play a role. A recent Endocrine Society evidence-based practice guideline emphasizes that the appropriate adjunctive use of pharmacologic therapy may increase adherence to behavior modifications and improve physical functioning in obese patients. 1.

There are 3 types of seasonal influenza viruses – A, B and C.4,5 Type A influenza viruses are classified into subtypes according to the combination of the surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. Currently, the subtypes influenza A (H1N1) and A (H3N2) are found in humans. Influenza B is classified by lineages and strains, including B/Yamagata and B/Victoria. It is less common but causes significant morbidity. Type C influenza occurs much less frequently than A and B and causes only mild upper respiratory tract illness; therefore, it is not included in seasonal influenza vaccines. Prior to December 2014, 4 prescription influenza antiviral agents were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA): oral oseltamivir (Tamiflu®), inhaled zanamivir (Relenza®), amantadine (Symmetrel®), and rimantadine (Flumadine®).6 Oseltamivir and zanamavir are neuraminidase inhibitors that have activity against both influenza A and B viruses. Amantadine and rimantadine are adamantanes that are only active against influenza A viruses. During the past influenza seasons, there has continued to be high levels of resistance (>99%) to adamantanes among common influenza A strains. As a result of increasing resistance and lack of activity against the influenza B virus, amantadine and rimantadine are not recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for antiviral treatment or chemoprophylaxis. Oral or inhaled administration of the recommended antivirals to patients with severe symptoms or patients who require respiratory therapy can be difficult. The development of an anti-influenza medication in an injectable form could be beneficial for critically ill influenza patients with severe or life-threatening symptoms for whom oral or inhalation administration would be challenging. In 2009, the FDA granted an emergency use authorization to use IV peramivir, which was commercially available in Japan at the time, for the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic. On December 19, 2014, the FDA approved intravenous (IV) peramivir (Rapivab®), a third neuraminidase inhibitor with activity against influenza A and B, to treat influenza in adults for the 2014-2015 influenza season. Table 1 summarizes the current FDA indications and the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for use of antiviral medications for the treatment of influenza. aOral oseltamivir is FDA approved for the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza in patients 14 days and older and for chemoprophylaxis in persons 1 year and older. However, use of oral oseltamivir for treatment of influenza in patients younger than 14 days old, including preterm infants, is recommended by the CDC and the AAP bZanamivir is contraindicated in patients with history of allergy to milk protein. cPeramivir efficacy is based on clinical trials in which the predominant influenza virus type was influenza A.\nAbbreviations: COPD=chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; N/A=not applicable. The safety and efficacy of peramivir in adult patients has been evaluated in multiple clinical trials.11-16 A majority of these studies occurred in Japan and other Asian countries due to the approved use of peramivir for influenza since 2010. Table 2 summarizes select published clinical trials of peramivir in adults. In an effort to determine utility of IV peramivir in high-risk hospitalized patients, de Jong and colleagues compared the time to symptom resolution in 338 patients who received a single peramivir dose to patients who received standard of care with or without use of another neuraminidase inhibitor.11 At interim analysis, no significant difference in outcome was observed between the groups and due to the need to recruit a greater number of patients, the trial was terminated. A multinational, Phase II randomized, double-blind trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of IV peramivir 200 mg and 400 mg compared to oral oseltamivir in 137 hospitalized patients.12Peramivir at both doses demonstrated similar efficacy (clinical stability) to oseltamivir; however, the study did not include critically ill patients and did not meet the prespecified power to detect a difference between groups. Furthermore, the doses used in this Phase II trial are lower than the currently FDA-approved dose. In 2 trials of outpatients with confirmed influenza, a single dose of 300 mg or 600 mg peramivir demonstrated noninferiority to a 5-day treatment course of oseltamivir 75 mg twice daily in over 1000 outpatients and superiority compared to placebo in close to 300 outpatients in time to alleviation of symptoms.13,15 These studies did not include high-risk patients who required hospitalization. In a smaller study of 37 patients, the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of IV 300 mg and 600 mg peramivir was evaluated in those at high-risk requiring hospitalization.14 Over 60% received treatment for 2 days and 27% of patients received treatment for 1 day. The higher dose of peramivir demonstrated a shorter duration of illness and a shorter time to normalization of body temperature. Due to the small sample size of this study and lack of a comparator agent, this study demonstrated potential, but not proven, efficacy of multiple doses of peramivir in high-risk influenza patients requiring hospitalization. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea were the most common adverse drug reactions reported in these trials. Efficacy and safety outcomes of adult and pediatric patients with confirmed influenza between October 2010 and February 2012 who received peramivir in Japan were obtained in a post-marketing observational study.16 Adults received 300 mg or 600 mg (for severe symptoms or complications) IV peramivir infused over at least 15 minutes. Children received 10 mg/kg/day as a single dose up to a maximum of 600 mg. Of the 1174 patients, 83% were adults (defined as 15 to 64 years of age), 5.9% were younger than 15 years and 11.1% were 65 years or older. Only 3.2% were inpatients. Fever and symptom resolution occurred at a median time of 3 days in over 65% of patients. Diarrhea (1.87%), vomiting (0.85%), and nausea (0.68%) were the most common adverse drug reactions. Adverse drug reactions occurred within 3 days of treatment and resolved within one week of onset. Although peramivir is not FDA-approved for pediatric use, a multi-center, open-label study evaluated its efficacy and safety in children with pH1N1 virus infection.17 A study in 115 pediatric patients ages 28 days to 16 years examined the time to alleviation of influenza symptoms. Peramivir 10 mg/kg IV (maximum dose 600 mg) was administered over 15 to 60 minutes once daily for up to 5 days if body temperature was ≥38°C or if the patient was symptomatic. Of the pH1N1 population (n=106), 105 patients (91.3%) were treated for 1 day and 10 patients (8.7%) were treated for 2 days. The median time to alleviation of influenza symptoms was 29.1 hours (95% confidence interval [CI], 22.1 to 32.4) in the pH1N1 population and 27.9 hours (95% CI, 21.7 to 31.7) in the intent-to-treat infected population. The median time to resolution of fever was 20.6 hours (95% CI, 19.4 to 21.1.) in the pH1N1 population and 20.4 hours (19.1 to 20.9) in the intent-to-treat infected population. The most common adverse events were diarrhea (16.2%) and a decrease in neutrophil count (21.4%). A higher incidence of adverse events tended to be observed in younger children. In a single-center, non-randomized study in Japan conducted between February and April 2011, 223 pediatric patients under the age of 18 years with confirmed influenza received one of 4 antiviral drugs (laninamivir 20 mg inhalation for patients < 10 years and 40 mg inhalation for patients 10 years or older, peramivir 10 mg/kg IV with a maximum of 300 mg as a single dose infused over 15 minutes, oseltamivir 4 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses with a maximum of 150 mg/day for 5 days, zanamivir 20 mg/day in 2 divided doses for 5 days).18 The median age (range) of patients who received the antivirals were laninamivir, 132.5 months (80 to 164); oseltamivir, 56.5 months (3 to 135); peramivir, 76 months (2 to 219); and zanamivir, 124.5 months (59 to 198). For patients between ages 0 and 9 years who received oseltamivir or peramivir, the median duration of fever was not significantly different: 2 days (range 0 to 6 days) and 1.5 days (range 1 to 3 days), respectively (p=0.4499). When compared to zanamivir and laninamivir in patients between 5 and 18 years, peramivir reduced fever duration by 1 to 2 days which was considered to be statistically significant. No adverse events were reported in this study. A post-marketing observational study in over 1100 Japanese children 15 years of age or younger evaluated the safety and efficacy of peramivir in patients who received the antiviral between October 2010 and February 2012.19 In terms of age range, slightly over 4% of the patients were between 4 weeks and 1 year of age, 44% were between 1 and 7 years, and 51.4% were between 7 and 15 years. Slightly over 11% of the patients were inpatient. Over 96% of patients received treatment for 1 day. Approximately 60% of patients had alleviation of symptoms in 3 days and close to 80% of patients had resolution of fever in 3 days. Incidences of some common adverse events were diarrhea (3.1%), abnormal behavior (3%), vomiting (1.5%), and decreased neutrophil count (1.5%). A majority of these adverse events occurred within 3 days of treatment and resolved within 7 days of occurrence. Patients with underlying conditions, severe influenza symptoms, on concomitant medications, and who received 2 or more doses of peramivir were more likely to experience an adverse event. The results of these studies are promising; however, due to the open-label, unblinded, observational, and non-randomized design of these studies, the efficacy and safety of peramivir in children needs to be further demonstrated in larger, randomized, comparative trials. · Time to clinical resolution in patients receiving peramivir plus standard of care compared to patients who received standard of care alone was 42.5 h (95% CI 40.0 to 61.9) vs. 49.5 h, respectively (95% CI 34.0 to 57.9; p=0.97). · Time to clinical resolution in patients receiving peramivir plus standard of care compared to patients who received another neuraminidase inhibitor plus standard of care was 41.8 h (95% CI 30.9 to 56.8) vs. 48.9 (95% CI 31.0 to 65.8, p=0.74). · No statistically significant differences in the secondary endpoints were observed between the treatment groups. · Common adverse events related to medication included GI effects and were similar between treatment groups. · Serious adverse events of pneumonia, COPD, septic shock, acute respiratory distress were attributed to influenza complications. · Clinical stability by treatment with peramivir 400 mg, peramivir 200 mg, or oseltamivir was 37 h (22 to 48.7), 23 h (16 to 38.9) and 28 h (22 to 37), respectively (p=0.306). · No significant differences were present for alleviation of influenza symptoms during treatment, 89.5 h (49.6 to 204.4), 70.3 h (60.5 to 97), and 73 h (48.1 to 96.5) for peramivir 400 mg, peramivir 200 mg and oseltamivir, respectively (p=0.783). · Five (4%) patients required ICU admission during the first days of study treatment. · There were no significant differences in time to hospital discharge, 3.8 h (2.7 to 4.8), 4 h (3 to 4.7), 4 h (2.9 to 4.6) for peramivir 400 mg, peramivir 200 mg and oseltamivir, respectively (p=0.994). · None of the patients with confirmed influenza died during the study period. · Patients treated with peramivir had a shorter median times to resumption of usual activities: 9 days, 8.8 days, and 13.7 days for peramivir 400 mg, peramivir 200 mg and oseltamivir, respectively (p=0.276). · A higher proportion of patients who received peramivir experienced ≥1 AE than those who received oseltamivir. · Gastrointestinal AEs (mainly due to higher frequency of diarrhea) were reported in 33% of subjects for peramivir 200 mg, 28% for peramivir 400 mg, and 15% for oseltamivir. · Serious AEs occurred in 8 patients treated with peramivir 400 mg, in 2 patients treated with peramivir 200 mg and in 4 treated with oseltamivir. · There were no adverse changes in routine hematology or chemistry values.

Compared to peramivir 600 mg, only nausea was numerically more frequent with oseltamivir. (1.9% vs. 4.4%). · Prolonged QT interval and reduced neutrophil count was observed in the peramivir groups. Doses were administered IV over a period of 15 to 60 min for 1 to 5 days according to the repeated dosing criteria (temperature ≥37.5⁰C or clinical judgment). Use of aceta-minophen was permitted. · The median duration of influenza illness was 68.6 h in all patients (90% CI 41.5 to 113.4) , 114.4 h (90% CI 40.2 to 235.3) in the peramivir 300 mg group, and 42.3 h (90% CI 30 to 82.7) in the peramivir 600 mg group. · 62% of patients received treatment for 2 days and 27% received 1 day treatment. · HR for duration of illness for the 600 mg group compared to 300 mg was 0.497 (90% CI 0.251 to 0.984). · The median duration of influenza illness was 92 h (90% CI 14.6 to 235.3; n=10) in the single dose patients and 64.1 h (90% CI 41.5 to 111.2; n=27) in multiple dose patients. · The median time until body temperature normalized (˂37⁰C) was 40.2 h (90% CI, 34.2 to 53.8) for the total group, 57.1 h (90% CI, 34.2 to 75.1) for the 300 mg group, and 37.6 h (90% CI, 22.3 to 46.8) for the 600 mg group.

Peramivir is a cyclopentane analogue neuraminidase inhibitor that selectively inhibits the influenza virus neuraminidase enzyme preventing the release of viral particles from infected cells.10 Peramivir is indicated for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated influenza in patients 18 years and older as a 600 mg single dose IV infusion over 15 to 30 minutes within 2 days of symptom onset. Peramivir can be prepared in 0.9% or 0.45% NaCl, 5% dextrose, or lactated ringers (maximum volume of 100 mL) and should be administered immediately or refrigerated for up to 24 hours. The manufacturer does not recommend mixing or co-infusing peramivir with other IV medications. In controlled clinical trials including patients with influenza, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal adverse effects were reported with peramivir, but the incidence was similar to that with placebo.11-19 Neutropenia has occurred in patients receiving peramivir. Serious skin reactions, including erythema multiforme and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, have occurred rarely.10 Neuropsychiatric events, including self-injury and delirium, which can be a complication of influenza illness, have been reported in patients with influenza taking neuraminidase inhibitors, including peramivir. Administration of peramivir within 48 hours before or less than 2 weeks after administration of the intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine (FluMist Quadrivalent®) may reduce the vaccine’s efficacy and should be avoided. Inactivated influenza vaccine can be administered at any time relative to use of peramivir. Influenza virus A and B isolates with neuraminidase amino acid substitutions associated with reduced susceptibility to peramivir and oseltamivir have been recovered in clinical trials.22Neuraminidase inhibition assays have found that some influenza A/H1N1 strains that are resistant to oseltamivir and peramivir remain susceptible to zanamivir. Neuraminidase inhibitors are currently the drugs of choice for treatment of patients with influenza and are most effective when started within 48 hours of symptoms onset.4,6Currently, none of the neuraminidase inhibitors is approved for use in hospitalized or critically ill patients. Although approved by the FDA only for treatment of uncomplicated influenza in outpatients, the off-label use of peramivir, an IV drug, to treat hospitalized patients may be needed. Given the high mortality among the critically ill, the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC recommend that all critically ill patients receive oseltamivir orally or via nasogastric tube. In patients unable to take oseltamavir, IV peramivir or investigational IV zanamivir should be considered. Peramivir is the first neuraminidase inhibitor to be FDA-approved for IV administration and shows efficacy for the treatment of seasonal and pH1N1 influenza. Peramivir has demonstrated non-inferior efficacy to oral oseltamivir for treatment of adults with uncomplicated influenza. Additionally, efficacy and safety in children has been suggested in small, uncontrolled trials. The availability of an IV antiviral influenza agent is promising and its efficacy in hospitalized, critically ill adults and children remains to be established. 1.

In recent years, several new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for various disease states including stroke prophylaxis in atrial fibrillation (AF), venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in major orthopedic surgery, and treatment and prevention of VTE.1-4 The efficacy and safety of these agents, and their therapeutic advantages compared to warfarin, have garnered interest among clinicians. However, there is little clinical experience with these medications in special populations. This article summarizes the available published evidence for apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban in the following populations: hepatic impairment, obesity, pregnancy, lactation, and pediatrics. The liver plays only a minor role in the metabolism and elimination of all NOACs.1-4 Apixaban undergoes some cytochrome (CYP)-mediated elimination via 1A2, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, and 2J2 enzymes and rivaroxaban is oxidatively metabolized by CYP 3A4/5 and 2J2.1,4 Dabigatran and edoxaban are not metabolized in the liver and undergo primarily renal elimination.2,3Although their pharmacokinetic properties do not make it likely that use in patients with hepatic impairment would lead to any major safety concerns, data supporting their safe use in this population is limited.5 In particular, patients with cirrhosis and/or impaired hepatic production of coagulation factors, or those with hepatorenal syndrome, may be at an increased risk of bleeding. Recently, some data has been published regarding the use of NOACs in patients with cirrhosis. An in vitro study found that plasma from 14 patients with cirrhosis (n=9 Child-Pugh Class B, n=5 Child-Pugh Class C) demonstrated decreased total (51% and 55%) and mean (32% and 30%) thrombin generation in comparison to 11 control patients, after apixaban 25 ng/mL or 50 ng/mL, respectively, was added to each sample.6 This study suggests that patients with cirrhosis may be at increased risk of bleeding with apixaban use, and potentially other NOACs. However, 2 recent case reports/series describe effective use of apixaban and rivaroxaban in patients with cirrhosis for the treatment of portal vein thrombosis (PVT), without any bleeding complications. 7,8 In the first case, a 50 year-old male with Child-Pugh Class A cirrhosis due to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, esophageal varices, and PVT received heparin followed by transition to rivaroxaban 20 mg daily.7 Baseline serum creatinine was normal (0.6 mg/dL) and the international normalized ratio was 1.1. The thrombus had completely resolved by 6 months of follow-up and the patient did not report any bleeding complications. The second article was a case series (n=5) of patients with Child-Pugh Class A cirrhosis who received either apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily or rivaroxaban 10 to 20 mg daily for treatment of PVT.8 During follow-up (durations ranging from 1 to 7 months), the authors reported that therapy was well-tolerated and no patients experienced bleeding complications. These promising results now need to be confirmed in larger, prospective settings before widespread use of NOACs in patients with cirrhosis can be recommended. A Phase I pharmacokinetic study with apixaban included 18 healthy subjects with mean body weight 137 kg (range 120 to 175 kg) and mean body mass index (BMI) ≥ 42.6 kg/m2 (range 32 to 54 kg/m2).14 Following a single dose of apixaban 10 mg, the mean apixaban maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) were 31% and 23% lower, respectively, compared to subjects with more normal body weight (65 to 85 kg). The apparent volume of distribution was 24% larger and the half-life was 3 hours shorter in obese subjects compared to subjects with normal body weight. There was a trend toward lower plasma anti-factor Xa activity with increasing body weight. Overall, the authors concluded that the differences in apixaban exposure with obesity were modest and not likely to be clinically significant; therefore, no dose adjustment based on body weight was recommended. Two published reports describe use of dabigatran in obese patients.15,16 The first article is a post-hoc pooled analysis of dabigatran 220 mg daily in 896 patients with BMI >30 kg/m2 for the prevention of VTE following major orthopedic surgery.16 Data were obtained from 3 major clinical trials (RE-MODEL, RE-NOVATE, and RE-NOVATE II).21-23 Among all patients who received dabigatran in these trials, 22.6% had BMI >30 to 35 kg/m2, 6.9% had BMI >35 to 40 kg/m2, and 2% had BMI >40 kg/m2. The composite primary endpoint of major VTE and VTE-related mortality occurred at a similar rate in obese and non-obese patients (2.7% vs 2.1%). Obese patients also had a similar rate of the primary endpoint compared to patients who received enoxaparin 40 mg daily (2.9%, p=0.797). There were no differences in bleeding between groups. The 220 mg dose cannot be achieved with the dabigatran formulations currently available in the US (75 and 150 mg capsules), but these results do provide some reassurance regarding the safety and efficacy of dabigatran in obese patients. The other published report with dabigatran is a case report describing an acute ischemic stroke in a 48 year-old obese patient (153 kg, BMI 44.7 kg/m2) who had been taking dabigatran 150 mg twice daily for the prior 4 weeks for paroxysmal AF with purportedly good compliance.15 The dabigatran plasma level at presentation (patient-reported 9 hours after the most recent dose), as assessed by the Hemoclot thrombin inhibitor assay, was undetectable. Dabigatran therapy was continued following thrombolysis and plasma level monitoring demonstrated a peak plasma level of 50 ng/mL 4 hours post-dose at steady state. The authors report that this peak level was less than the 25th percentile of the therapeutic trough level. In response to the potentially sub-therapeutic dabigatran dose, therapy was switched to a coumarin anticoagulant. Further prospective data regarding the efficacy of dabigatran in patients with obesity are needed. Among the NOACs, rivaroxaban has the largest number of published reports describing its use in obese patients.17,18,20 Similar to the apixaban study described previously, a single-center, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban in healthy subjects.17 A total of 12 obese subjects (mean weight 132.2 kg, mean BMI 43.5 kg/m2 ) received a single 10 mg dose of rivaroxaban. There were no differences in Cmax, AUC, time to maximum concentration (tmax) or half-life between obese and non-obese subjects. Pharmacokinetic data for rivaroxaban were also published in a case report of a 67 year-old obese patient with acute ischemic stroke due to previously undiagnosed nonvalvular AF.20 Ten days after the stroke, the patient was started on dabigatran 150 mg twice daily. Hemoclot assay results after 1 week of therapy indicated that the patient did not reach the interquartile range for Cmax and most readings were below the interquartile range of trough concentration (Ctrough). In response, the patient was switched to rivaroxaban 20 mg daily; DiXal direct factor Xa inhibitor assay peak and trough results suggested effective anticoagulation. In summary, apixaban and rivaroxaban have fairly predictable pharmacokinetic profiles in obese patients but no data are available regarding therapeutic efficacy in this population. Dabigatran does have some clinical outcome data in obese patients but the case reports suggesting lack of efficacy are concerning. No conclusion can be made regarding edoxaban since published data in obese patients is lacking. There is limited information regarding the safe use of NOACs in pregnant patients. Apixaban is FDA pregnancy category B, while dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban are pregnancy category C. 1-4 The product labeling for rivaroxaban contains a warning regarding the risk of pregnancy-related hemorrhage but this seems to be a general risk of all anticoagulants rather than a specific risk of rivaroxaban.4 Rivaroxaban is the only agent with a published case report of its use in pregnancy.24 A 24 year-old woman with a history of recurrent VTE, including upper and lower extremities and pulmonary embolism, received rivaroxaban 15 mg daily for 19 weeks until her pregnancy was discovered. Rivaroxaban was switched to enoxaparin for the remainder of the pregnancy. The baby was born spontaneously at 40 weeks gestation without complication, and no abnormalities were observed on any routine physical examinations or screenings up to 13 weeks of age. Although there are no clinical data in pregnancy with dabigatran, an in vitro pharmacokinetic placental transfer study observed a fetal/maternal ratio of 0.33 for dabigatran and 0.17 for the dabigatran etexilate mesylate prodrug after 3 hours, suggesting limited transfer of the prodrug across the placenta.25 The study authors recommended that dabigatran crosses the placenta to some extent and should not be used in pregnant women due to the risk of fetal coagulation abnormalities with in utero exposure. The manufacturers of all NOACs state that it is unknown whether these agents are excreted in human milk.1-4 The apixaban manufacturer refers to 12% excretion of the maternal dose in the milk of lactating rats, but it is unclear whether this can be extrapolated to humans.1 No published reports of NOAC use in lactating patients were found. Clinical experience with NOACs is fairly limited in special populations, including liver impairment, obesity, pregnancy, lactation, and pediatrics. Clinicians are urged to limit their use of these agents to clinical situations with published data supporting their efficacy and safety, which may include specific situations in special populations. 1.

"question": "Who is a funeral plan for?",
"answer": "A funeral plan is for anyone who wishes to take some of the stress off their surviving family members by paying in advance for certain or all aspects of their funeral service."
},
{
"question": "At what age should I consider buying a funeral plan?",
"answer": "While some funeral plan providers require that customers be at least 50 years of age before taking out a plan, there are plenty of others who do not have restrictions. Therefore, it is possible to beginning planning for your funeral at any age."
},
{
"question": "What are the different types of funeral plans?",
"answer": "There are a wide variety of different kinds of funeral plans which cater for all budgets and tastes. In general, most funeral plans will cover basic services such as the storage, care and transportation of the body, the coffin and the costs associated with contracting a funeral director to oversee the arrangements on the day. More expensive funeral plans may include extras such as flowers, catering, headstones, obituaries, upgrades on the coffin and hearse and any additional transport required."
},
{
"question": "How are funeral plans regulated and guaranteed?",
"answer": "95% of funeral plan providers in the UK are voluntarily regulated by the Funeral Planning Authority (FPA), which does have a Code of Practice to which it encourages registered providers to adhere to. While the FPA does not have the authority to stop a provider from trading, its endorsement does lend credibility and authentication to the provider in question. The UK government are currently discussing ideas on bringing in tougher legislation against unlawful funeral plan providers in the future."
},
{
"question": "How do I select a funeral plan?",
"answer": "In order to find a funeral plan that meets your specific needs, why not visit our dedicated funeral plans area. Here, we present some recommended options from trusted providers. We only show FPA registered funeral plan companies, reducing the burden on you when it comes to searching for a provider. It’s important to compare and contrast the pros and cons of several different providers in your area. Using our search tool, you can locate a list of providers near you, then select one or more which fall within your budget and meet your expectations. It’s a good idea to contact more than one provider and, if possible, meet with them in person prior to entering into a contract so that you can get a better idea of how they operate and whether or not they’re a right fit for your situation."
},
{
"question": "What happens if the cost of the funeral at the time of my death exceeds the amount I have paid?",
"answer": "If you die before paying the full balance of your funeral plan, it will fall to your family members or surviving next of kin to pay the outstanding difference. However, if you have paid the full amount agreed upon at the time of signing the contract and the cost of the funeral exceeds that amount due to inflation, the funeral plan provider will pay the difference. Most funeral plan providers allow a grace period (normally between one and three months) during which you can cancel the plan and receive a full refund. However, if you decide to cancel the plan after this time, your decision will likely incur an administration fee."

},
{
"question": "Can you provide specifics on each organization and why they recieved funding?",
"answer": "Four organizations are receiving first time funding, totaling $4,275,556. o Seattle Indian Health Board: The Seattle Indian Health Board (SIHB), Chief Seattle (CSC), and Mother Nation are forming a 3-agency partnership to address and prevent homelessness for Native people. SIHB was selected as the lead applicant agency for the HSD grant applications due to their organizational capacity and experience administering government grants including federal, state, county and city. SIHB is well-positioned to implement and manage the AI/AN homelessness continuum with 165 FTE and an annual agency budget of $17 million. Seattle Indian Health Board features an epidemiology research center on its campus-providing access to data relating to American Indian and Alaska Native communities. SIHB health providers have a unique advantage to better coordinate and direct care for patients, by accessing regular updates on epidemiological trends. SIHB has been awarded funding to provide homeless prevention, diversion, outreach, emergency services, and rapid re-housing services. o Somali Youth and Family Club: Somali Youth and Family Club serves families and individuals experiencing homelessness through a customized support service model to make homelessness rare and brief. SYFC serves many refugee families and individuals who have experienced trauma--- growing up in war torn countries, losing family members through violence, starvation, malnutrition, dehydration---in addition to homelessness. Nearly all families and individuals served further experience the re-traumatization of experiencing poverty in the U.S. due to barriers including: language, not knowing their place in their new home society, transportation, lack of skills to be self-sufficient. These combined can lead to the inevitable--- becoming homeless after 3 months of one's arrival to the U.S. SYFC uses evidenced based practices to provide culturally relevant and individualized services. They have been awarded funding t9o provide homeless prevention and rapid re-housing services. o United Indians of All Tribes: First-hand knowledge of racial disparities as it relates to American Indian and Alaska Native people, equips United Indians of All Tribes to address inequities in homelessness, unemployment, and school dropout rates by providing high-quality, effective, culturally appropriate services to underserved communities. United Indians of All Tribes engage program constituents and the broader community in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of all programs, and relies on data-driven, evidence-based models for all programs that undergo continuous quality improvement processes. United Indians of All Tribes strengths include well-researched and well-informed commitment to services for the urban Indian community, which has experienced extreme inequity in service access, provision, and quality. They also maintain partnerships with several social service agencies that serve a broad spectrum of underserved people. They have been awarded funding to provide homeless prevention and transitional housing services. o New Horizons: New Horizons uses a person-centered approach to provide services that are tailored to each participant's needs and goals. The person-centered design allows for the flexibility of services that are tailored to meet individual needs, and responsive to cultural differences. New Horizons uses progressive engagement to help young adults move from low-barrier shelters and drop in services to employment and permanent housing. New Horizons partners with organizations throughout the homeless youth continuum of care to ensure that participants have access to all services they need to reach their potential. New Horizons is a hub for food, clothing, job training, housing, medical care, mental health services, enrichment activities, and recreation. They have been awarded funding to provide diversion, outreach and emergency services. c. Outreach and Engagement: $2,988,157. g. Permanent Supportive Housing: $4,020,965. 6."

"question": "What is the appeals process?",
"answer": "• A matter of bias, discrimination, or conflict of interest. • Violation of policies or failure to adhere to guidelines or published criteria and/or procedures established in a funding opportunity. o Signed by the Agency's Executive Director or similar level agency management staff. The applicant will receive a receipt from the HSD Director's Office notifying the applicant of the date, time, and method by which the appeal was received. If the applicant does not receive a receipt within two business days, it should be assumed that HSD did not receive the appeal and it will therefore not be considered. The HSD Director will review the written appeal and may request additional oral or written information from the appellant organization. A written decision by the HSD Director will be made within five (5) business days of the receipt of the appeal. The HSD Director's decision is final. 7."
},
{
"question": "How were award allocations determined?",
"answer": "This RFP used seven project-specific rating committees comprised of nearly 40 people to review applications. Recommendations are based on narrative and performance data application scores, feedback from applicant interviews, population and geographic considerations, number of households intended to be moved into permanent housing and racial equity goals. Rating committees were asked to forward more projects for funding than actual funds are available, using a maximum funding amount in each project area. Through this process, each rating committee created a list of projects recommended for full, partial, or no funding. Rating committees then used a tiered system to determine projects for priority funding and projects which could be funded based on available funds. 8."

"question": "Do you agree that students perceive information differently?",
"answer": "Daddyyes Asked on 24.09.2018 in All Questions. Phinney suggested that reading is a complicated process and involves a lot of processing, including the paired work of comprehension and word recognition. Richards and Leafstedt support this, in stating that some children can grasp reading immediately, but for others, they may need specific interventions. The Rose Review supports this, with the conceptual framework of ‘The Simple View of Reading’. This framework provides a base for teachers for assessing children, it encourages them that they may not make equal progress in both dimensions. Therefore, ‘The Simple View of Reading’ points out that children should be introduced to a synthetic, systematic programme of high quality phonics to encourage the progression of their word recognition, therefore, later progressing onto their comprehension skills which “continues throughout life”. A synthetic, systematic programme of high quality phonics is portrayed within the Teachers’ Standards document within standard 3d, and it suggests that the teacher is responsible for teaching word recognition and phonics discretely."

"question": "What advantages does propane have over other energy sources?",
"answer": "There are actually quite a few advantages to using propane as opposed to the other top home energy sources. For one thing, propane heating systems and appliances are extremely efficient, meaning that you’re only paying for the gas that you actually use. Also, you can use propane for tasks as diverse as drying clothes and heating the water in your swimming pool. Propane is an environmentally friendly fuel as well, so you can use it without worrying about damaging the environment. And the majority of propane used in this country is produced on this continent, which helps to make America more energy-independent moving forward."
},
{
"question": "Is propane only used for heating?",
"answer": "No. While home heating is the most common way that propane is used, it is far from the only way. In fact, propane can power many of the standard appliances in your home, from your clothes dryer to your stove to your hot water heater. You can even use your central propane tank to power your outdoor gas grill. The more you use propane for, the more money you’ll save in the long run. Propane gas is an extremely safe source of energy. Propane tanks are highly resistant to damage and must conform to strict government regulations. There are many regulations governing the placement of propane tanks as well, increasing the overall safety of the system. Also, as part of our service agreement with you, we will check periodically to make sure that all parts of your propane system and all of your propane appliances are functioning properly."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to be home every time I get a propane delivery?",
"answer": "You don’t need to be home for any propane deliveries following the initial one. Our delivery driver will simply leave a slip to alert you to the fact that your tank has been filled. However, if there is a new situation on your property that might impact delivery, such as a new septic tank installation or new power lines on his route to your tank, you should be there so that you can let the driver know so that he can make his delivery safely."
},
{
"question": "What should I do if I smell gas in my kitchen coming from my cook stove/range?",
"answer": "Call your propane company! You are probably out of gas and need it refilled or exchanged. Most often it is an empty tank that the odorant has concentrated in the bottom of and is releasing the smell into your home. If you go outside and turn off the empty tank, the smell should dissipate within 15 minutes or so. If you have turned off the empty tank and the smell does not go away, let your gas company know immediately."

{
"question": "What is this Hazmat Fee and why am I being charged?",
"answer": "It is a Hazardous Materials Transportation Fee that is charged to us by the government that we, unfortunately, have to pass on to our customers."
},
{
"question": "Why am I renting your propane equipment?",
"answer": "By leasing our propane equipment, the Annual Cylinder Service Fee makes us responsible for the propane tank(s), the pigtail(s), and the regulator. If a malfunction should occur with the propane tank(s), pigtail(s), and/or regulator, it will be replaced by us at no charge to you. However, if the problem occurs beyond the regulator, we can fix it, but the cost(s) are not our responsibility. “Thank you for the great service we received from you. We are back in New York State now. 40 degrees in the daytime and 30 degrees at night.” Mrs. Lewis G."

"question": "Do EssentialPRO™ or Essential GSH® contain Gluten or Casein?",
"answer": "Glutathione side effects are rare, although highly sensitive patients should consult with a healthcare professional before introducing any new supplement into their diet. Yes. The phosphatidylcholine used in EssentialPRO™ and Essential GSH® is derived from soy. However, the allergenic soy protein is removed prior to manufacturing. The base is then tested to verify that the allergenic portion has been removed. Refrigeration of either product is optional. However, some consumers find that the refrigeration of Essential GSH® improves the overall taste. Click here to submit a request form and you will be contacted via email with an EssentialPRO physician in your area. EssentialPRO™ is not a drug. It is a dietary supplement. EssentialPRO™ is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Yes. The purification process used in the production of the liposomes in EssentialPRO™ and Essential GSH® eliminates any GMO residues, leaving no GMO traces in either product. They are best taken on an empty stomach if tolerated or with a light meal if needed. Glutathione is a biologically active sulfur tripeptide and therefore, will have a slight sulfur smell. The glutathione in this product is encapsulated in liposomes, which minimizes exposure of the sulfur. Essential Nutraceuticals recommends that patients have their physicians treat their yeast overgrowth prior to any oral glutathione supplementation, as glutathione can sometimes worsen the symptoms. All Essential Nutraceuticals products are made with Gluten-free and Casein-free ingredients."

"question": "Is a woman’s pregnancy at risk if she gets infected with West Nile virus?",
"answer": "There is one documented case of transplacental (mother-to-child) transmission of WNV in a human. Although the newborn in this case was infected with WNV at birth and had severe medical problems, it is unknown whether the WNV infection itself caused these problems or whether they were coincidental. More research will be needed to improve our understanding of the relationship – if any – between WNV infection and adverse birth outcomes. Nevertheless, pregnant women should take precautions to reduce their risk for WNV and other arboviral infections by avoiding mosquitoes, using protective clothing, and using repellents containing DEET (see Insect Repellent). When WNV transmission is occurring in an area, pregnant women who become ill should see their health care provider, and those whose illness is consistent with acute West Nile virus infection, should undergo appropriate diagnostic testing."

"question": "Hach & Rose, LLP > Video FAQs > What is dram shop liability?",
"answer": "Dram shop liability is basically if you’re at a bar and you’re drinking, the bar owners have a responsibility to not over-serve. So, if somebody appears extremely intoxicated and they’re not cut off and they leave the bar or an incident occurs in the bar because they’re intoxicated, that would be a violation. If someone is visibly intoxicated and they continue to serve them and they get in their car and, god forbid, hit somebody or get into an accident, the bar owner or the entity that owns the bar is responsible because they over-served them and they breached their duty.

"question": "How does remote energy healing work?",
"answer": "\"Energy knows no barriers of distance. Your intention to heal, and your belief that it can be done make it so. . . Proxy testing works like a cell phone. Our bodies have a built-in capacity to quickly and easily \"dial\" someone else, and create an energetic connection with them.\" -Dr. Bradley Nelson, author The Emotion Code and holistic physician, creator The Body Code. Energy is truly everywhere and fills up every microscopic space. The connection between the client and practitioner by proxy on Skype or telephone is as powerful as the connection is in person. With permission, the practitioner \"becomes\" the client being tested and allows their body to be used to benefit the client. Proxy testing is beneficial when someone is unable to be physically present. When the practitioner releases trapped emotions from a client across town, in another city or country, it is a form of remote or distance healing. Muscle testing is a form of kinesiology to access the subconscious mind in order to evaluate the body's imbalances and to determine its needs. The subconscious mind is a binary holographic computer that catalogs every second of our lives. We can ask \"yes\" and \"no\" questions to tune-in and gain accurate information. This is safe and gentle. Our body does not lie and our subconscious knows exactly what needs to be released in order to heal. When I do a session either in-person or remotely, I use muscle testing to communicate with the client's subconscious. This acts as a direct messaging system to release trapped emotions and to find and clear the underlying causes of illness or pain in their bodies."

{
"question": "The coating on my deck boards is flaking off?",
"answer": "The key thing about coloring deck boards is that the coating that you use is suitable for the purpose. Products that are intended for use on vertical surfaces like cladding, doors and windows have properties that do not lend themselves to flat surfaces that are subject to footfall and particularly the movement of timber as it responds to changes in moisture content throughout the season. This is the primary cause of peeling and lifting. SANTAVI ensures the type of product you need is the one designed specifically for decks in that they penetrate rather than coat the surface and are resistant to scuffing by footfall."
},
{
"question": "Does treated timber vary in color from one piece to another?",
"answer": "Treated timber will have variations in color between one piece and another. This is due to the relative proportions of heartwood and sapwood in each piece. Sapwood is more permeable than heartwood and so takes up more preservative which results in an initial variation of color from green (sapwood) to beige (heartwood). Once installed and exposed to the elements, the initial strength of color fades to a warm, honey brown and in the long term will become a natural silver grey all over. Remember, timber is a natural product and variations in character are to be expected. Occasionally timber containing high or mobile resin levels can give a blue coloration at the time of treatment, however this fades rapidly into the overall natural green/beige color."
},
{
"question": "Do decks need planning permission?",
"answer": "Timber decks differ from conventional patios and terraces most significantly in their elevation and general height of construction. For all but the simplest, low-level garden deck, property owners should satisfy themselves that planning regulations do not apply to their proposed structure. In addition to contacting your Local Authority, we strongly recommend that you talk to all your neighbors about your plans. Neighbor objections are the most usual reason for planning refusal or enforcement notices after completion. Local Authorities can insist that structures are dismantled and removed where consent should have been obtained, but was not."
},
{
"question": "How long will a timber deck last?",
"answer": "A timber deck should provide years and years of pleasure. That’s because SANTAVI only uses naturally durable timber species or rot proof pressure-preserved wood in our construction. If the deck has been built using the correct materials and good building practices then it will last almost indefinitely if properly serviced and looked after."
},
{
"question": "Are decks slippery in wet weather?",
"answer": "The key factor in preventing slipperiness is to ensure that the deck surface is kept clean and surface deposits such as mildew, algae and fine mosses are kept at bay for it is these deposits that cause slipperiness on any surface, even stone flags, in wet weather.SANTAVI recommends to give decked surfaces a frequent brush with a stiff broom and to give them a thorough clean once a year in spring or autumn using either a power spray washer or an approved SANTAVI proprietary deck cleaning product."
},
{
"question": "Will grooved deck boards perform better than plain ones in preventing slipperiness?",
"answer": "By far the majority of timber decks, boardwalks and piers built around the world are surfaced with plain timber boards. Whilst grooved deck boards are often marketed as “anti-slip” there is no evidence to suggest that they perform any better or worse than plain decking. Choice of deck board style is therefore a matter of personal preference. A fall of around 1:100 should be built into a deck to help the surface drain and prevent standing water. Grooved deck boards were actually designed to aid water drainage and as such should be laid in the direction of the fall away from any adjoining property. Where there is a higher than normal requirement to prevent the risk of slipperiness, for example on ramps, stairs, bridges or on public/commercial installations then deck boards with built-in abrasive strips can be used."
},
{
"question": "What fixings does SANTAVI recommend?",
"answer": "Fixings used out of doors should be corrosion resistant to prevent rusting and weakness of the structure in subsequent years. Nails can be used for fixing – but screws are ideal. Screw size should be three times the thickness of boards and they should be positioned not closer than 25mm to edges and countersunk below the surface. Fixing points at the ends of boards should be pre-drilled to prevent splitting. All screw points in hardwood deck boards should be pre-drilled 2mm oversize and countersunk before fixing. The advantage of screws over nails is that they are more secure than nails and enable boards to be lifted easily to gain access below the deck for maintenance or repair or fixing lights and can be re-tightened if necessary."
},
{
"question": "When should decks have a balustrade?",
"answer": "Balustrades (or parapets) on decks can serve several functions, ranging from simple decorative boundaries to full safety barriers. Even a small change of level can be a hazard, particularly for elderly or infirm users. Unless the deck surface is flush with the surrounding ground level, a parapet or edge protection detail should be incorporated. For very low-level structures, this may take the form of a simple decorative rail, a trellis panel, a raised planter box, a bench or seat, etc."
},
{
"question": "How do I keep my deck looking good?",
"answer": "All decks will benefit from regular brushing with a good stiff broom on a frequent basis throughout the year. Once a year, in Spring or Autumn, SANTAVI recommend giving your deck a more thorough cleaning using a pressure spray or a purpose made Decking Cleaner which is formulated to remove grease and discoloration and restore the look of the wood. Keeping the deck surface clean in this way not only keeps it looking like new it also reduces the conditions that cause any surface to be slippery when wet. Unless a deck is painted with a stain, the original color of the timber used will fade gradually when exposed to the elements. Whether your deck is made from a deeply colored hardwood or the more mellow hues of a softwood species it will fade over time to a pleasant grey. However, using a clear water repellent coating will help to prevent fading. Timber is a natural product and as your deck timbers weather, small cracks are likely to appear on the surface of the boards. These are caused by the intermittent wetting and drying of the wood and are part of the character of wood. They have no structural effect whatsoever. This natural ageing process can be slowed by the annual use of a clear water repellent coating. Please contact SANTAVI to discuss an annual service option to ensure your deck looks and feels the same as when installed."
},
{
"question": "Resin is coming out of the timber?",
"answer": "Some types of timber contain a resin that may exude from the surface of the timber in hot weather and create rings of crusty white powder around knots in the timber. This resin is not at all harmful and can be removed from the surface of the timber with a stiff brush. It is unlikely that resin will continue to exude after the deck has been through its first summer."
},
{
"question": "Can I personalize my deck?",
"answer": "Yes – timber decks can be customized to your own style and decorative taste. The choice of additional design features – balustrades, pergolas, trellises, steps and so on – is almost infinite. The nice thing about timber decking is that it can be extended, or another level or a feature can be added in the future to enhance your enjoyment."
},
{
"question": "Will a deck support a Jacuzzi or Pergola?",
"answer": "Yes, a deck can be designed to support almost anything you want to put on it. Jacuzzi’s have become very popular but when full weigh several tons. It is vital that the decking structure is purpose designed by a structural engineer and appropriate stress graded timber used. For decks that are intended to carry loads like this we recommend contacting a specialist such as ourselves."
},
{
"question": "How much should I expect to pay for a deck?",
"answer": "The price of a timber deck will obviously vary enormously depending on design and size and so on. A professionally designed and installed deck compared to other major home improvements, such as a new kitchen or conservatory, decks are great value. Professional deck designers and installers have the knowledge and experience to ensure that you end up with a quality product that will last a long time and perform marvelously."
},
{
"question": "Can I install my own timber deck, or do I need professional help?",
"answer": "Using a professional deck designer and installers will give you the peace of mind that your deck has been designed and installed to the highest industry standards. Using a decking professional will give you access to the wealth of designs possible and top advice on finishes and maintenance procedures – of course it is possible for the DIY enthusiast to tackle decking, although a fair degree of competence is required."
},
{
"question": "Will I be hurting the environment if I use timber?",
"answer": "Not at all! The sort of wood used in timber decking comes from responsible producers who insist on proper management of their resources. This involves the conservation of forests through the use of sustainable forest management techniques and renewal through re-planting schemes. Timber is the only mainstream construction material that originates from a renewable resource and, as a result of the policies mentioned above the amount of productive forest in Europe (from where most decking timber comes) is increasing every year. © Copyright 2007-2019 Santavi, National Supplier.

Giving up the right to drive is such a fraught topic, I don’t expect to live to see a practical solution. Maybe my daughter and granddaughter won’t see a solution either, but I do believe one is on the way. Author AnitaPosted on March 30, 2008 March 31, 2008 Tags Auto ban, California highways, Central business district, Mass transit, walking3 Comments on World Without Cars, Amen. I gave away my favorite pants by accident last week. It was bound to happen. When I’m cleaning the closet in a self-righteous Spring-induced charitable mood, things move fast. I piled clothes on the bed in categories: Things I don’t wear, new things I wish I’d never bought, (A hanging price tag is a reproach) and the biggest bunch of all, things that don’t fit anymore. While bundling all of this together to donate to the Family Service Thrift Store, I spotted a blouse that was a maybe – a great color – it might still work. Better try it on before giving up on it. I grabbed my favorite sleek black pants from the closet and put on the blouse. Nope, still not a fit. So, two giant armloads of clothes into the back seat and two giant armloads of clothes dropped off, and I went about my other errands. Next day I went to the closet for my favorite pants and they weren’t there. You can see where this is headed. Back to the thrift store. Since they were nowhere in the house, that’s where they were likely to be. I had delivered my custom tailored pants for resale and not on purpose."
},
{
"question": "Who does something that dumb?",
"answer": "A lot of people do, judging from the reaction of the volunteers at the thrift shop. I’m happy to buy them back, I said. They were sorry, but they had already tagged last week’s merchandise, which was now hanging in the store. Just go out there and find them. There was half a hope my pants would still be in the store. I’m a tough fit – very long legs. Those pants wouldn’t interest just anybody. I looked. I’d know my pants anywhere, and they weren’t on the racks. Already sold. I started to grieve immediately. A woman and her favorite black pants – that’s a serious relationship. Not only did I not get a chance to say goodbye, not only did I not leave them on purpose, but because they’ve now left me and moved on to another owner, they seem so much more important in retrospect. I tell myself it’s best to let go of the past, forget I ever knew them. But I know I won’t. Every time I pass a woman with long legs wearing sleek black pants with a certain fit, I’ll do a double-take. Because by now, of course, those pants have become, in memory, the best pants in the whole world and I am convinced I’ll never love any other pants again in exactly the same way."

"question": "Since your products contain natural and organic ingredients, are there any special instructions regarding their use?",
"answer": "Our creams are “denser” than commercially produced skin care products. We recommend that you use them sparingly. A little goes a long way. Always use a toner with the moisturizers. Your skin will soak up the nourishment and you will end up using less cream. Wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the skin to absorb all this goodness."
},
{
"question": "Why are your moisturizers called Sunshine Moisturizers?",
"answer": "That’s an interesting question. When we developed the formulation, we took one look at the final result and “Sunshine” came to mind. A great way to start the day! At room temperature they will last up to 6 months. Refrigerated they will last 1 year. We have not experienced any spoilage within the stated time frames. I wear makeup."
},
{
"question": "How does that work with your moisturizers?",
"answer": "After applying the toner and moisturizer in the morning, wait for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to allow the skin to absorb the moisturizer. Only then should you apply makeup."
},
{
"question": "Since you do not use emulsifying agents, how do you prevent your creams from separating?",
"answer": "Actually, we do use beeswax and natural borax. These ingredients are natural emulsifiers. Should it ever occur that a small pool of liquid appears on top of the cream, just stir the cream and it will come together again. This does not affect the effectiveness of the product."

"question": "What Should I Consider When Choosing a Direct Selling Opportunity?",
"answer": "You should select a business that markets products which appeal to you and which seem fairly priced. If you are enthusiastic about the product yourself, sales will be much easier to achieve. The appeal of a company's product is much more important than the rates of commission and bonuses that are on offer. Reasonable commissions on easily achieved sales are much better than high commission on sales that are difficult to achieve. It is advisable to ensure that the business you are considering is a DSA Member. This gives an assurance that the business opportunity is legal and the company has agreed to abide by the DSA Codes."
},
{
"question": "Can I Run My Direct Selling Business From Home?",
"answer": "Yes - you can run a substantial Direct Selling business from your home using channels of internet and telephone as a means of communication, although personal contact does significantly help to grow your business. Direct Selling allows people to work for themselves and to run their own business in a way that fits with their lifestyle."
},
{
"question": "What is a Reasonable Investment to Make When Starting a Direct Selling Business?",
"answer": "Depending on the company, an individual may have to invest in a starter kit or a product demonstration kit. The Price for kits varies from company to company but range from £0-£200, with most hardly exceeding £100. The law governing Multi-Level Marketing does not allow an investment of more than £200 in the first seven days. The great advantage of any business opportunity in Direct Sales is that it is not necessary to buy goods before you have made any sales to consumers. Note: Never be tempted to buy more stock than you are certain to sell, nor be tempted to 'buy' your way into a higher position in the company's sales organisation."

"question": "What is an ALR Hearing or Suspension?",
"answer": "ALR stands for Administrative License Revocation. An ALR Hearing is the process by which a person who has been arrested for DWI can contest the driver’s license suspension that is imposed for refusal or failure of a breath or blood test during a DWI investigation. The suspension goes into effect automatically if an ALR Hearing is not requested within 15 days of the arrest. An individual can request a hearing by following the instructions provided on the notice of suspension, but it is generally best to have an attorney do it. If you have been charged with DWI, you should retain a qualified attorney as soon as possible to ensure that this and other rights are adequately protected."

"question": "New to this subject, and notice a discrepancy between your ISOGG-based and experimental-based prediction?",
"answer": "Go with the ISOGG-based prediction. The experimental tree aims to build on the ISOGG tree. The experimental tree is computer-generated, using an experimental algorithm. The algorithm may still require some fine-tuning. Unlike the ISOGG tree, the experimental tree does not draw from non-Geno datasets, or from the STR data associated with Geno-tested kits. The ISOGG tree is subject to far greater scrutiny. ISOGG's tree does not include \"private\" SNPs -- those known to only define twigs on the Y-tree. Nor does the ISOGG tree include SNPs whose positions are still approximate. The nomenclature is also more stable."
},
{
"question": "Trying to make sense of your Geno 2.0 or Full Y-chromosomal results, and facing a list of dozens of unfamiliar SNP calls?",
"answer": "It is helpful to know which of the approximately-placed SNPs have already been observed in your \"Y-SNP neighbourhood\", and which ones are truly novel. The tools provided by this website help you focus your investigation on a short-list of SNPs. The prediction based on the experimental tree will give you a shorter short-list. Some of these short-list SNPs may define your twig or leaf on the human Y-tree. Once again, if in doubt, go with the ISOGG-based prediction."
},

"question": "What is this site's relation with ISOGG?",

{
"question": "Do you offer lifetime subscriptions?",
"answer": "No. Such pricing types are part of questionable business models (similar to ponzi schemes: new comers pay for service use of existing customers). To put it simple, it relies solely on overselling, short term profit and marketing gimmicks. We do not engage in overselling our service as we want to make sure that the network capacity and overall quality of our service is and remains constant. Accounts are activated instantly when the payment is confirmed. If there is any delay, it means that the payment has not been confirmed or you already have an active account with us."
},
{
"question": "Is it possible to change my billing plan, like signing up for a full year after I signed up for 1 month?",
"answer": "Yes, absolutely. You should sign-up for a different plan before the end of the billing period, or you can get in touch with us."
},
{
"question": "Why should I choose you and not one of the bigger VPN providers?",
"answer": "A smaller user base means no overselling on bandwidth, which in turn results in better speeds for you. A better customer support experience: we do not externalize support. Here, you talk directly to those who designed and implemented the entire VPN service from A to Z. No ticket escalations, and no operators copy/pasting predefined - yet frustrating - answers to your problems. With us, you are a person: not an \"advertising conversion\". We care more about individual's satisfaction than volume selling. We are a pure security company focused on \"security done right\" and our core team members have been in infosec for 20 years."
},
{
"question": "Will I receive many email from you?",
"answer": "No. We hate unsolicited emails as much as you do. We will send you only auto-generated payment reminders/confirmations and important announcements on very rare occasions (once in a few months on average). Example of announcements: implementation of major features, software releases etc. Such announcements are only sent to customers who have an active account with us. We will never send you emails like \"Hey! Look what's new! We want you back!\" - unless, of course, you asked us to notify you once a certain feature will be available. It depends on your connection speed between you and the VPN node. Using a VPN node which is closer to your location would usually be faster due to better routing/peering - matching or almost matching your regular connection speed. VPN speeds also depend on the VPN protocol you use. OpenVPN (TCP) is slower by design, L2TP/IPsec, OpenVPN (UDP) and PPTP(insecure) are the fastest. Try all of them and see what’s the fastest for you. Also, check our speed testing guide. Yes. Check the affiliate program details here. It's quite unlikely, as we use several obfuscation methods and very common ports. If you face such problems, contact us."
},
{
"question": "Does your VPN work in China and other countries that are censoring traffic?",
"answer": "No, we do not log/monitor any kind of user activity such as visited web-sites, emails, files transferred, instant messages, DNS queries etc. We do, however, keep some connection logs (to our VPN service) for security and support purposes. These are kept on a separate, encrypted server (located in an undisclosed location) and are automatically erased on a daily basis. We don't keep any logs on servers, not even common Linux daemon logs. Keeping these logs also help us in identifying potential attacks against our service, such as brute-force and even some MiTM attack vectors."
},
{
"question": "What exactly does \"connection logs\" mean?",
"answer": "When you connect to a VPN server, the server (VPN daemon) will log your real IP address, connection start/end time, and total traffic transferred during the session (e.g. 100MB, 2GB etc). These connection logs with your IP address are generated by the VPN server/daemon and are stored for one day. All logs on this server are permanently deleted on a daily basis running a cron job. We do not log or store any sensitive data such as what you actually transfer during the session. Some other VPN providers do not log anything. Not even the connection start/end time. Some of them probably don’t, but we seriously doubt that all of them live up to their claims. There is simply no way to prove a provider’s claims, so it’s really a matter of trust between the user and the provider. VPN servers/daemons log such data by default as they are designed to do so. In most cases, the complete disabling of session logging capabilities requires source code modifications. We have solid reasons to believe that many of them have implemented a default/out-of-the-box VPN solution, with no source code modifications. Moreover, we use the connection logs for security purposes, such as detecting brute-force attempts and several other types of attacks, so we believe that the way we handle the connection logs is a positive security feature."
},
{
"question": "Do you allow P2P/torrent traffic?",
"answer": "Yes, we don't block such protocols. We use dedicated servers on our VPN nodes, mostly consisting of powerful E3 and E5 Xeons with hardware AES crypto acceleration. Running VPN gateways on VPS/cloud instances is a security risk. Moreover, running VPN nodes on dedicated hardware can be as 10x or even 20x times more expensive than running on virtual servers, hence the reason why we don't advertise 'hundreds' of locations but focus on fewer, where security is done properly and the bandwidth capacity is enough to ensure a fast and reliable service. Speaking of bandwidth, apart from security and reliability advantages of running VPN servers on bare metal servers, speed can be much better than the one coming with virtual servers as we use dedicated network ports, not shared with others. Bandwidth on a virtual server is shared among hundreds of other users on the same physical machine."
},
{
"question": "How strong is your VPN encryption?",
"answer": "OpenVPN: 256-bit AES-CBC, 128-bit AES-CBC or 128-bit BF-CBC. For AES (both 128 and 256 bit) we use RSA-4096 and Elliptic Curve (ECDHE) with secp256k1, SHA512 HMAC. We are one of the very few in the industry providing full Elliptic Curve support. All OpenVPN certificates are generated \"the right way\": offline, secure machine, multiple - high quality sources of entropy. L2TP/IPsec: 256-bit AES or 128-bit AES (depends on OS/device). PPTP: 128-bit MPPE (considered insecure, not recommended for sensitive data transfers). SecureProxy: AES 128-GCM with 4096-bit RSA certificates."
},
{
"question": "Does your VPN service provide me 100% anonymity, privacy and security?",
"answer": "No. There are many factors to consider when you are looking for the best possible way to protect your anonymity and security online. Some of them are outside our control (datacenters, Internet transit providers, peering nodes...to name but a few). Having said that, we are doing our best to provide a higher level of privacy and security, but you should always be aware that there is no such thing as 100% privacy, anonymity or security on the Internet. Word of advice: question those who promise you 100% [anything] - especially in a highly dynamic and complex industry like information security."
},
{
"question": "Does your VPN protect me against malware, spyware, viruses?",
"answer": "No. Such protection requires traffic inspection on VPN servers using anti-malware/virus/etc gateway software. We don't inspect traffic and we don't run any scanning engine on servers. You should always keep your PC/devices secure by adopting proven practices."
},
{
"question": "Can you assist me remotely using a desktop sharing/control software (like Teamviewer)?",
"answer": "Yes, we can do that as a last resort, with one condition: You must understand and agree that there should be nothing sensitive for us to see on your Desktop, browser tabs, bookmark bar etc."
},
{
"question": "Do you provide static or dynamic IP addresses?",
"answer": "We provide shared IP addresses, which means that all users connected to the same VPN node will use the same IP addresses (best practice for privacy purposes). We do not provide dedicated IP addresses and we do not plan to provide in the future."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between a VPN and a proxy server?",
"answer": "A VPN provides security by encrypting your connection from your PC/device to the VPN Node. A Proxy doesn't provide encryption (referring to classic ones, not our SecureProxy service), therefore unauthorized 3rd parties can easily intercept your communication and access your private data, such as usernames/passwords, websites you visit and emails."
},
{
"question": "Will I be able to send emails through your VPN?",
"answer": "Yes, you can send emails if you are using a webmail service such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Protonmail and others. If you are using an e-mail client such as Outlook, Thunderbird and you are using an SMTP connection on port 25/TCP to send e-mail, that won't be possible because we block external connections to SMTP port 25/TCP in order to mitigate SPAM abuse (most ISPs block SMTP port 25). We suggest you use Submission (port 587/TCP) instead of SMTP (port 25/TCP) to send e-mails. Most email services support it."
},
{
"question": "Do you protect my DNS queries?",
"answer": "We protect DNS queries against MitM hijacking and snooping, wiretapping. We have our own, private DNS resolvers outside of US and UK. All DNS queries sent by VPN users are forwarded by our VPN servers to the private resolvers, through encrypted tunnels. As long as you don't manually change your DNS servers while being connected to our VPN, and you use the one we assign, no DNS queries will leak out of our VPN servers through our hosting partners and IP carriers."
},
{
"question": "What if some 3rd party will monitor traffic of your DNS resolvers?",
"answer": "We are using an unique and clever way to overcome this risk, by running a query generator service on each DNS resolver. Specifically, We are generating over 10 million DNS queries to existing domains each day. Those queries are generated randomly, at a high rate, and are mixed with the DNS queries of our customers. Basically, we are generating \"noise\" and it's virtually impossible to match a user's DNS queries within the \"flood\" of queries sent by us to DNS root servers directly. Therefore, if a 3rd party is ever going to wiretap our DNS resolvers, it will be totally ineffective."
},
{
"question": "How about 3rd party statistic tools?",
"answer": "We don’t use any 3rd party tracking services like Google Analytics, as they defeat the purpose of a privacy service. The same applies to \"Like\" buttons and other social sharing tools. We keep website access logs for at least 1 month and we regularly check them for various purposes, including but not limited to identifying fraudulent signups and website hacking attempts."
},
{
"question": "Who has root/admin access on your servers?",
"answer": "We are very strict on this matter. Only one technician has access to our infrastructure, and he is a security-minded professional who knows what he's doing. Needless to say, he would never share - not even temporarily in case of unforeseen emergency - authentication credentials with anyone else. You are a company registered in EU."
},
{
"question": "What about EU Data Retention Directive?",
"answer": "Data Retention has been declared unconstitutional by the Romanian Constitutional Court in July, 2014. Moreover, it never applied to VPN services but to telecom and ISP operators."
},
{
"question": "Do you provide a VPN client software?",
"answer": "Yes, we have a VPN Client app for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. For other Operating Systems and devices we provide step-by-step connection instructions using 3rd party VPN software or OS specific, built-in settings."
},
{
"question": "Does your VPN work with routers?",
"answer": "Yes. OpenVPN works with custom ROMs like DD-WRT, Tomato, Advanced Tomato, OpenWRT, AsusWRT/Merlin, pfSense."
},
{
"question": "What VPN Protocols can I use with your service?",
"answer": "We offer OpenVPN (with different encryption types, TCP and UDP on several ports), PPTP, L2TP/IPsec. These are the most widely used protocols, so you should be able to use them on virtually any OS/devices such as smartphones, tablets, HTPCs etc. All protocols support strong encryption and we do not allow unencrypted connections. However, be aware that PPTP is an insecure protocol and we don't recommend to use it for anything sensitive."
},
{
"question": "What's the fastest VPN protocol I should use?",
"answer": "L2TP/IPsec is likely the fastest one. We run in-house optimized kernel modules to make it faster than all other protocols. OpenVPN UDP come next, followed by PPTP, while OpenVPN TCP is the slowest - due to protocol design, and not because of our available bandwidth. PPTP should be used only on devices that provide PPTP support out of the box (smartphones, tablets) and keep in mind that PPTP is insecure compared to IPsec and OpenVPN. Check our KB article for a comparison between protocols. No, we don't. We believe it is insecure."

"answer": "A: Make sure the controller is programmed correctly. Stations that do not turn on may not have a run time scheduled in the program. A program missing a start time, run times, or days to water will not come on at all. refer to the owners manual for programming instructions, Pro-C manual page 25, ICC manual page 26. A: Yes, just set the “station run time” to zero for the problem zone, and you can still run the other zones. Refer to the owner’s manual for programming instructions, Pro-C manual page 17, ICC manual page 26, Icore manual page 15. A: First turn off the water by closing the valve before the backflow or in the basement at the irrigation shut off which is marked by an orange Western Irrigation tag.

Sweat lodge Therapy: Women – bring a comfortable, light-weight long skirt (e.g., sarong) and a tank top. Men can bring shorts. This outfit is worn all year round in the sweat lodge. Heritage Treatment Foundation is not responsible for lost of stolen items. The rooms are not locked; however, if a client chooses he or she can leave items in the office for security purposes. The safety of these items is guaranteed. Issues of theft are not a problem at Heritage but problems can occur; please be mindful of what you choose to bring. Clients are encouraged to bring some family pictures (childhood to adulthood) as they can be used as a therapeutic tool. Clients can bring music equipment (e.g., stereo, Mp3 player, instruments); however, they must use these things appropriately. It is understandable that clients would bring their cell-phones for travel purposes; however, they are not permitted to use their phone during their stay at Heritage. The phone will be kept in their personal folder in the office and will be returned to them when they leave. Clients have access to a payphone and they can purchase calling-cards to make their calls. Clients can use the office phone to make local calls that pertain to medical issues, or make post-treatment appointments. When a family member calls, the message will be given to the client and it is his or her responsibility to return the call. Clients can bring their lap-tops as we have wireless internet connection. However, clients are not permitted to use the office computers unless it is a part of their clinical needs and a staff member is with them. Clients have access to computers in town for a fee; a staff member will accompany them. Clients must keep their wallet, identity cards and money in the office. When a client needs to make a purchase, he or she will be given money and accompanied to the store by a staff member. When the client returns to the Centre, the purchase is searched and the remaining money is returned. The amount of money a client needs depends on the cost of their personal items. Also, clients will have an opportunity to participate in outings or recreational activities that require payment. Some of the activities are covered by Heritage, and clients are not required to participate in cost-related outings."

{
"question": "QU # 3: Can I Make Non-Medical Appointments?",

},
{
"question": "QU # 4: What are the Medical & Prescription Medication Procedures?",
"answer": "Visits: Clients will be able to receive medical attention if requested or needed. Canadian clients need to bring their Medicare/health card in order not to pay for the visit. If they do not have a Medicare/health card, clients will have to pay, but can be reimbursed by their province. American or international clients need to pay for their visits and any tests they require. Prescription Medication: Regular medication will be provided to out of province clients as the pharmacists or doctor can make the necessary inquiries. However, controlled substances need to be prescribed by a medical doctor from Quebec."

{
"question": "What does it mean to put an animal on hold?",
"answer": "If an application is approved, we can place an animal on a temporary hold. This will give potential adopters the opportunity to think about the big decision to adopt an animal, purchase supplies, or travel to Quincy. While on hold, the animal is “reserved” for the approved adopters. We may continue to accept applications for an animal that is on hold, but he/she cannot be adopted by another family until the hold has expired. An animal can only be placed on hold after an application is approved. Generally, an animal is placed on hold for 48 hours."
},
{
"question": "Why do you charge so much for animals from the “pound”?",
"answer": "The Quincy Humane Society is NOT a pound. We are a non-profit, privately funded, no-kill animal shelter. Our animals stay with us until they get adopted. The adoption fee we charge offsets the services we provide for the animal. Animals adopted from us are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and seen by a veterinarian regularly. In most cases, we spend hundreds of dollars on each animal that stays with us. We do not make money off of adoptions."
},
{
"question": "Why are all your animals spayed or neutered?",
"answer": "It is a state law in Illinois that all animals adopted from an animal shelter are spayed or neutered before leaving. If it was not a state law, we would do it anyway. The country is facing a severe animal over-population problem, and spaying or neutering the pets that leave our facility ensures we do not contribute to that epidemic."
},
{
"question": "Why do so many of your dogs have age restrictions?",
"answer": "Age restrictions are assigned to certain dogs to help protect the safety of both the dog and the family that may adopt it. Our animal care staff have closely examined the personalities of every dog, and any age restrictions assigned to a dog are meant as a guideline to help adopters determine which pet will best match the needs of their household. At this time, there is no official waiting list for certain breeds. However, the variety of dogs we have available for adoption changes regularly and often includes many purebred dogs. We recommend checking our “Available Pets” page regularly to see what we have available each day. We encourage all individuals and families to adopt… not shop! If you are ready and anxious to invite your new furry friend into your home, websites like Pet Finder are a great tool to help you locate that particular breed that you are looking for."
},
{
"question": "Can I fill out paperwork online?",
"answer": "Yes, we now have an online application available through the “Adopt” page on our website. You must have a Google account in order to fill it out. Once you have submitted it, the application will be emailed to our Adoption Manager and is processed like a regular application. Please make sure it is filled out completely in order for us to process it. At the Quincy Humane Society, we love all of our animals. However, we know that some animals are more desirable to the public: small breed dogs, puppies, fluffy kittens and some popular breeds. Having a higher adoption fee for animals we know will go home quickly, enables us to care for the animals that become long-term residents. I live out of town."
},
{
"question": "Can you ship an animal to me?",
"answer": "We do not ship animals. If you live out of town, we are more than willing to allow you to adopt if you can make the trip to Quincy to meet the animal. In some cases, you may fax your adoption application to us and we can complete an interview over the phone so we may place an animal on hold to give you time to travel."

"question": "Surely it’s just straightening teeth?",
"answer": "Well it is more than just straight teeth. The teeth are involved with supporting the associated facial structures which include lip position, jaw position and profile. Moving the teeth or straightening the teeth can affect all these facial structures. Your ‘bite’ must be left in a stable position at the end of treatment to reduce the risk of future problems. It is important that the orthodontic treatment is planned and properly completed to achieve successful treatment with long-term stability. Orthodontic treatment starts with the end goal in mind – one has to plan the desired result which has to be stable and ensuring the patients’ profile is kept in balance and harmony. To ensure the correct tooth movements occur, this has to be perfectly planned. Being able to plan takes training and experience. In the UK, there are no restrictions for a dentist to offer orthodontic treatment as long as they (the dentist) feel they are competent to carry out treatment. There are a number of brace systems marketed specifically at dentists which may be offered at a lower financial cost to the patient. Orthodontic treatment often takes over 12 months, the average being 18 months. You can only gain experience and understand the case by working through to the completion of each case. Contact our office today at 020 8222 8760 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kyi. To fully understand the complexities of treatment, this cannot be achieved in a one-week course which may be taken by a general dentist who is able to offer lower-priced treatments. To carry out orthodontic training and become a specialist orthodontist takes a further three years after completing the five-year dental degree. In the same respect, it would be unlikely you would choose to see an orthodontist to have a filling or a crown as the orthodontist may not have carried out this procedure for many years. It is very important that you maintain your regular check-ups with your dentist and hygienist appointments all throughout your orthodontic treatment. Healthy teeth will last you a lifetime. All the fields dentistry are involved and work together to maintain this goal of life-long healthy teeth."

"question": "What is the AUREA Award?",
"answer": "The award is a global competition to identify and celebrate excellence in Augmented and Virtual Reality in the entertainment sector, across a range of applications, products and experiences. Its goal is to award state-of-the art work in this booming sector where technology and creativity meet. AUREA seeks to present products and services that not only deliver great experiences, but also demonstrate the great potential of this sector for the future of technology and entertainment. For entrants, no. For the jury, yes. Because this is our inaugural year, and we want to encourage a wide range of potential entries from all corners of the entertainment sector, we are not asking entrants to declare typical categories such as “application” or “hardware”. We want our all-star jury to have the freedom to decide what the most exciting or groundbreaking products or experiences are, across all potential categories. The jury will be free to determine winners, and they will be looking to award them in five general categories: Creative, Experience, Impact, Innovation, Interaction, and a special category outside the main competition: Lifetime Achievement. You cannot apply for this last category. The jury will decide for itself based on the following criteria: a significant contribution through one’s career; innovative and creative excellence; and a considerable impact on the market. Each entry will first be considered based on your online submission of a) answers to the online Entry Form, which includes a short description of the entry and, where applicable, a relevant link or website URL, as well as b) up to 3 uploaded items. These can include documents that describe the entry (for example, PDFs, Presentations, etc. ); videos or links to videos showcasing or explaining it."
},
{
"question": "What do you mean by “entertainment”?",
"answer": "We see a vast range of new products and experiences in entertainment. On the content side, that means new forms of film or storytelling projects - from live action to animation - as well as music experiences, live events, games, or mixed reality experiences. This also includes applications, whether they are experienced via headsets, smart phones or other hardware or on-site installations. And speaking of hardware, there is a boom in great new headsets, wearables and other hardware offering exciting experiences. Finally, this wouldn’t be possible also without a diverse array of enabling technologies, be they platforms, software, middleware, or other solutions working in the background. If you think your entry touches the entertainment sector, even only partially, and moves it forward, we encourage you to enter."
},
{
"question": "Who is behind the AUREA Award?",
"answer": "The award is an initiative of Mack Media, who are pioneers in bringing together innovative technology with entertainment. Their Virtual Reality roller coaster experience, Coastiality, is already a market-leader in turning theme park rides into thrilling VR experiences or even interactive games. Seeing the great wave of innovation that AR and VR are bringing to entertainment and even live experiences, they have created the AUREA Awards to provide a benchmark for excellence as well as a forum for leaders of the field to gather, exchange ideas and strengthen ties across the many elements of the industry."
},
{
"question": "How will the awards be conducted?",
"answer": "Once the entry deadline (Oct. 14, 2018) has been reached, we’ll select and notify a pool of finalists, who will be invited to pitch our all-star jury live at a VIP gathering on November 29-30, 2018 in Europa-Park in Rust, Germany. The awards gathering will feature an intimate, invitation-only conference on Virtual & Augmented Reality, and finalists will be able to take part in this high-level event with jury members and other participants. As part of the proceedings, the jury will select winners immediately after the live pitching sessions, and the awards will be announced at a ceremony that day. Finalists will also be invited to spend the remainder of the weekend enjoying Europa-Park with other attendees or even their families. We invite you to enter this one-of-a-kind competition and be a part of this exclusive conversation about the future of this exciting industry! We therefore invite entrants (for-profit or non-profit companies, foundations, or individuals) from the entire AR and VR ecosystem, be it experience or storytelling producers, game developers, application or service providers, hardware makers, software or platform providers, or other players active in the market. All we ask is that your product or service be operational, either as a company or a working product that our jury can see, hear, touch or experience, and that consumers, users or audiences can or have already experienced it by Oct. 14, 2018, our entry deadline. Entries should have been released or available starting July 14, 2017 to October 14, 2018. We will place judging priority on entries that have more recently entered the market and only one entry per company is allowed."
},
{
"question": "What is not eligible for entry?",
"answer": "In our first year of the awards, we don’t wish to be too constricting. However, some types of entries with little chance of making the cut would include: pitch decks of startups or apps that don’t have a product on the market; demo reels of story ideas for experiences that aren’t yet available; prototypes of hardware devices that aren’t available. In general, if it’s more of an idea than a real thing, we encourage you to keep developing it and possibly enter next year. Also, if your potential entry shows us no plausible connection whatsoever to the entertainment sector of VR and AR, no matter how convincing it is, then it won’t be considered eligible."
},
{
"question": "When are entries accepted and due?",
"answer": "Entries Accepted: Starting June 26, 2018 - Apply Now! A short, written description – maximum 300 words – of your entry. We suggest you formulate this carefully beforehand and be ready to copy/paste it into the form. Up to three uploads that explain and support the entry. These can be documents such as info sheets, flyers, or presentations, links to videos, links to app downloads, or short films themselves (please no longer than 3 minutes). Your agreement to abide by the Terms and Conditions described in this document. Once you have submitted your entry, you will receive an automatic confirmation of its receipt. Our team will review the entry and confirm that it is eligible and enter it into the first round of judging to determine the finalists. As part of this process, we reserve the right to contact you via the email address you provide us for clarification or explanation of your entry, or to provide more details if we determine that more information is needed to understand or verify your entry. Once we have confirmed that your entry is eligible, we will notify you that it will be considered for the finalist round starting after the deadline of October 14, 2018. After you have submitted an entry, you may withdraw from the award by contacting us via email. You may also resubmit your entry, for instance if there is a significant update or new material that can support it, but this will then cancel and supersede your previous entry. There is no entry fee. The submission of an entry implies full and unconditional acceptance of all rules."
},
{
"question": "What should I say in the description?",
"answer": "Here are no required elements, but your description could include some of the following: a description of the product or experience from the user’s point of view, some background on its creation and launch date, any key metrics or info regarding potential market success, information on the company that is submitting it, and any other info that helps us understand why this entry was created or what it hopes to achieve."
},
{
"question": "What if my entry is a product or experience that can’t be uploaded or shared easily?",
"answer": "Don’t worry. We understand that many potential entries are best – or possibly only – experienced fully with particular hardware, software, players, proprietary technology or even spatial environments. If you have such an entry, simply do the best you can with traditional means like the description, photos, short videos, presentations, etc. Please bear in mind that if you are invited to pitch your entry to the jury as a finalist, we would expect that you could then give our jury the “full effect” of your entry. If you are capable of demonstrating it live in an expo or trade show setting, we expect that you can then bring it to Europa-Park for your live pitch. The awards may nominate up to four finalists for each category, to be invited to pitch the All-Star jury. By October 22, 2018, we will announce a select pool of finalists on the website and in other publications relating to the Awards and invite those who have been selected to go on to the live pitch round. Invitations will be sent to the email address you use to register. The nominated finalists will be asked to confirm their acceptance of the nomination and consent to the award. They will be invited to come to the AUREA Awards at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, in the Southwestern part of the country near the Swiss and French borders, on November 29-30, 2018. Finalists will be expected to cover the cost of their own travel and transport to Rust, but they will be given complimentary accommodation for 2 nights in one of the distinct hotels on site at Europa-Park. This is limited to two representatives per company/entry. There is no claim to a certain room category. The finalists will be invited to all events related to the AUREA Awards, including tours of the park, dinners and receptions, a conference featuring some of the biggest names in the VR and AR industry, as well as other activities. The live pitches will take place in a semi-public setting featuring the jury members as well as the select group of industry guests invited to attend the AUREA Awards conference. Each entry will be given 10 minutes total, with 5 minutes to make a presentation or demo, and then 5 minutes for Q&A from the jury members."
},
{
"question": "How may I present my entry to the jury?",
"answer": "If possible, we invite you to be ready to give the jury the full experience of your entry. So your presentation can range from simply speaking to presenting a PPT presentation, 2D videos or other “traditional” means, or letting the jury experience the entry firsthand, for instance with a headset(s), other hardware you bring, or whatever creative way you want to use to delight and impress the jury. If your entry does not fit into the 5 minute slot, for instance because it’s a longer film or experience, we may potentially allow it to be made available to the jury earlier so that they may experience it in full before the final deliberations are made."
},
{
"question": "What if I can’t attend the live pitch?",
"answer": "Making the live pitch is a required part of winning an AUREA Award. If you cannot attend the live jury pitch, we would unfortunately have to rescind your invitation as a finalist. Therefore, by entering online, you agree to attend the AUREA Awards live pitch on November 29 and 30, 2018 should your entry be chosen as a finalist. Firstly, we want the jury to have every opportunity to judge the finalists on a “level playing field”, meaning a live pitch/demo and Q&A process. Secondly, you would not only be attending a live pitch, but also an exclusive conference where every voice and player is important to us. And finally, the two days’ awards and conference promise to be a one-of-a-kind opportunity to meet, network and even socialize with some of the brightest lights in the VR and AR industry, and every slot at this exclusive gathering matters to us. So if you can’t make it, we’d like to be able to invite someone else who can."
},
{
"question": "would we want to see it / play it / ride it / experience it again?",
"answer": "The jury will be suitably qualified and will have, collectively, ample experience in business, entertainment, intellectual property, virtual, augmented or mixed reality fields. The jury will be selected by the organizers from candidates meeting the above criteria. to act collectively (the winner must obtain a majority of the votes). The same day as the live pitches. We’ll hold an awards ceremony at the conclusion of our 2-day event and subsequently publicize the winners. The winners will be kept secret until the awards are announced. By entering, you grant us permission to use your name and image in publications, photos, videos or other media that publicize the award and its finalists or winners. There is no cash prize for the AUREA Awards, however each winner will receive a physical AUREA Award and a certificate. Additionally, all finalists are given an invitation to attend the awards & conference and remain onsite in Europa-Park for the weekend that follows. Finalists will be given up to 2 nights’ accommodation (for two persons per entry) in a Europa-Park hotel as part of the event. Finalists will be responsible for covering their own travel costs to and from the awards & conference. No cash disbursement and/or replacement of the prizes is possible. Recourse to the courts is not permitted."

I’ve applied for SU jobs a few times but have never been successful. The ‘Suitability for the position’ section of the application is where you need to detail the skills and attributes you can bring to the role. It’s really important to try and address each point in the Person Specification (detailed in the job description) too so your application is as good as it can be. We’re more than happy to give you advice on how to complete a good application so feel free to contact the SU President or the HR and Admin Coordinator in relation to this. We will also be launching a Guide to Application Forms in September. The University also has a Careers department who are able to offer support with job applications. Further details can be found here. Student jobs are for a maximum of 15 hours per week but can vary between 8 and 15 hours. Work hours can be discussed at interview. It is important to make a good first impression so smart or smart casual dress code is recommended."

"question": "FAQ #1: “The First Album” or “Bootleg Issue”?",
"answer": "Aha! Don’t panic–I think the only thing at work here is a difference in liner notes and track delineation. Since the first CD was made from the original cassette, where there were no electronic markers for the beginnings and ends of songs, things can get kinda hairy. But here’s the Official Conception:”Back Door” ends. Then the strange ambient noise-jam starts up that we developed, when playing live, to suggest a radio being tuned across a series of frequencies that weren’t coming in well enough to identify–sort of a “driving across the middle of nowhere late at night and getting things on your radio that might be signals from outer space” feel. That’s “FMera” (which we didn’t name until we recorded it), which is really just the intro to “Signal to Noise.” Since we were way into structure, we had to go out as we came in, so “Signal to Noise” ends with more space-jam noise, which is “FMera (reprise)”. The album ends in a mighty doom-and-gloom crash with “More Thumbscrews,” the song that starts with the lyrics, “The trees bowed to greet me as I passed by.”If it helps, on my iTunes I don’t have “FMera” and “FMera (reprise)” broken out as separate tracks at all–they’re just the beginning and end of “Signal to Noise,” since we always began and ended the song, more or less successfully, with space jam. That allowed us the option of jamming into it from some other song, or out of it into something else. Other amusing facts about that album: It’s been called “Cats Laughing,” “Reissue,” and “Bootleg Issue.” It was recorded on a four-track cassette recorder in Steve Brust’s basement, and mixed in someone’s living room, with effects created by a couple of guitar effects “stomp boxes” and a home stereo equalizer. The “tkh-HISSS” noise that starts “FMera” (or “Signal to Noise”) was Adam striking a match close to the microphone. Hi Emma!"

"question": "What Types of Allergies Affect Your Feet?",
"answer": "Allergic reactions are responses by your body’s immune system to some sort of trigger. Many people are familiar with animal or food allergies, but do not realize that foot allergies exist until they begin to feel the symptoms of this particular problem. Contact dermatitis of the feet occurs when direct contact is made with substances like detergents, certain fabrics, latex, solvents, or poisonous plants. These irritants can all invoke allergies of the skin and lead to reactions that are uncomfortable or even painful. Angioedema is a skin disorder resulting in welts that are itchy and possibly painful. This condition is triggered by such substances as animal dander, insect bites, eggs, shellfish, berries, and pollen. If you live in the Richardson, TX area and have itchy or painful welts on your feet, schedule an appointment with Richardson Podiatry Associates today by calling (972) 690-5374. Come in and let Dr. Gene Reister determine if you have foot allergies and provide the medical attention you need."

"question": "How do I Check Spots for Skin Cancer?",
"answer": "Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and it can spread quickly, making it imperative to be caught and treated as early as possible. Knowing the warning signs and how to check for skin cancer is your best form of protection. First, make a point to do a whole body examination at least once a month, more often if your doctor recommends so. If you are unable to look at certain areas, enlist a friend or family member to help. It is not often that people take the time to examine their feet. For this reason, when melanoma is found on feet it is often at an aggressive stage. Keep in mind the ABCDE’s of melanoma: Asymmetry (one half looks different), Borders (irregular or scalloped), Color (has different shades), Diameter (greater than the size of a pencil eraser), and Evolving (the spot looks different or is changing). If you have any questions or concerns about a spot on your skin, do not wait to seek diagnosis and treatment. Contact Richardson Podiatry Associates to make an appointment with Dr. Gene Reister. You can reach our Richardson, TX, office by calling (972) 690-5374."

IT-Pedia can be used to enhance the value of applications from ServiceNow, Remedy, Cherwell, Snow Software, Flexera, Ivanti, Axios, and many other vendors."

},
{
"question": "Can I export my selected product data into a file to review or edit?",

},
{

These settings can be saved to make the process repeatable. IT-Pedia is licensed as a service subscription with several different options available. It is securely hosted by Eracent, so no on-premise installation is required."
},
{
"question": "Do I need to install a local application to access the IT-Pedia product database?",

With the browser-based interface, you can search for specific products or manufacturers using intuitive and user-friendly filtering options. With the API interface, you use specific API calls in order to receive the data that is of interest to you."

},
{
"question": "What if I don’t see some of the products that my organization uses in IT-Pedia?",
"answer": "Part of the subscription agreement includes Eracent’s commitment to promptly research and add those products and attributes to the database. Our priority is to ensure that we include the products that our customers use. Having millions of products in the database is nice, but if IT-Pedia does not include the products that you need, then it’s not as valuable to you."
},
{
"question": "Why would I consider IT-Pedia compared to one of the other Data Platforms on the market?",
"answer": "Competing Data Platforms are highly functional with nice operational analytics, and their price point reflects that. Eracent is working with numerous companies who got sticker shock from competitors, and opted to go without product enrichment data rather than pay the prices they were quoted. We don’t think that’s right. Many of these organizations are building, updating and normalizing the data in their ITSM, ITAM, SAM, Procurement and other systems and don’t need the extra functionality for at least a couple years. They have found IT-Pedia to be a perfect data enrichment solution that meets their needs during the system implementation and growth stages."

{
"question": "Why do I need to be concerned about the current engine oils if I have a classic car or hot rod?",
"answer": "US government regulations (from the EPA), in an effort to make catalytic convertors in modern cars last longer, have forced the engine oil companies to seriously reduce the level of anti-wear protection additive in the current API SM/ILSAC GF-4 passenger car engine oils."
},
{
"question": "What could happen to my classic car or hot rod if I continue to use oil without enough anti wear protection?",
"answer": "The anti-wear chemistry, known as ZDDP, is in all engine oils to protect the camshaft lobes and lifters (known as flat tappet cams) from wear. For classic cars, ZDDP must be in the oil in a higher concentration than it is in current oils. Without ZDDP protection the cam and lifters will experience premature wear and eventual failure."
},
{
"question": "I am using a synthetic, I'm protected, right ?",
"answer": "Today's synthetic oils are marvels of engine oil engineering. However, all API SM/ILSAC GF-4 engine oils, regardless of whether they are synthetic or conventional, must conform to the exact same standard on ZDDP concentration. Therefore, current SM/GF-4 synthetics will not have enough ZDDP anti-wear protection for your classic car's flat tappet cam."
},
{
"question": "How soon after using current SM/GF-4 oil in my classic car could I have trouble occur?",
"answer": "The higher the valve spring pressure and the higher the engine rpm's, the higher the ZDDP concentration must be for proper protection of a flat tappet cam and lifters. If the thin surface layer of hardened metal on the cam lobes and lifter faces has been compromised, rapid wear of these parts follows. Big block engines (high valve spring pressures) have been reported to have had failures in as little as several hundred miles. I've heard about this problem and I've heard that I can use diesel oil or racing oil to protect my flat tappet cam engine."
},
{
"question": "Am I doing the right thing?",
"answer": "Diesel oils and racing oils have stepped in as a band-aid attempt to help classic car owners due to the lack of passenger car engine oils with the correct level of ZDDP anti-wear protection for their classic flat tappet cam engines. However, neither diesel oil nor racing oil is properly formulated for continued use in a street driven gasoline engine. Continued use of diesel oil or racing oil could result in other problems for your classic car engine. Please refer to the attached discussion \"Why NOT diesel or racing oils?\" Cam-shield™ is a premium concentrated ZDDP anti-wear engine oil additive that you add to your favorite passenger car engine oil. Cam-shield™ restores ZDDP anti-wear protection in your favorite engine oil to the correct level for protection of your classic car cam and lifters."
},
{
"question": "Why do I need Cam-shield™?",
"answer": "Cam-shield™ is the only ZDDP product available that is concentrated enough to be used for either new cam break-in or running operation. Cam-shield™ was designed by a Senior Race Oil and Field Test Engineer from a major oil company. Cam-shield™ is designed to be highly concentrated so that you only need a very small amount to treat your oil - it is very important not to dilute your engine oil with \"filler\" used to make larger bottles of oil treatments as this will alter the performance integrity of your favorite engine oil. Cam-shield™ is designed with a proprietary blend of primary and secondary ZDDP for full temperature range coverage of your engine. Cam-shield™ is supplied in a unique bottle that lets the user treat their exact oil volume at oil change time or for top-ups."
},
{
"question": "How do I know if I have a flat tappet cam and that this problem affects me?",
"answer": "Virtually every American-made vehicle, and many foreign-built vehicles manufactured before 1975, has a flat tappet cam engine. The tappets are also known as lifters and can be either hydraulic or mechanical (solid). Flat tappet cam engines are also known as overhead valve engines. Modern engines with overhead cams or roller cams are not affected."
},
{
"question": "Why haven't I heard about this problem before now?",
"answer": "When cam failures started increasing dramatically right after the introduction of the current API SM/ILSAC GF-4 category, it became clear that the level of anti-wear had been lowered to a point of intolerability for the classic car flat tappet cam engines. There has been a lag in this information reaching the actual owners of these vehicles."
},
{
"question": "Where I can I learn more about the effects of insufficient ZDDP in classic car engines?",
"answer": "Many articles and technical bulletins on this issue are now available to read. Note that the quality of information is still improving as people continue to learn the fine points of engine oils as they apply to anti-wear performance in flat tappet cam engines. In particular, the continued use of racing oil or diesel oil in a street driven classic car or hot rod with a flat tappet cam engine is not recommended."

"question": "What are the value propositions of Pylon Network in regards to the energy sector?",
"answer": "The data sharing architecture in Pylon Network, not only empowers the end user (consumers/prosumers) by helping them save money & energy, but also empowers the retailers companies and ESCOs, who can offer more targeted, informed and personalized services (e.g. electricity contract) based on high quality, granular consumer data. The blockchain code of Pylon Network is the first that is designed specifically for the needs of the energy sector – not only from a technical point of view (see here). We offer Pylon Network’s blockchain technology with an Open Source (OS) license to play the role of an inclusive communication protocol accessible to all stakeholders of the energy market. We developed our technology with the main objective of accelerating the energy transition and not leave anyone behind in the fast-evolving era of decentralization, digitalization, customer engagement and transparent cooperation in the energy sector."

{
"question": "What is the role of Pyloncoin (PYLNC) and Pylon Token (PYLNT) in Pylon Network?",
"answer": "In Pylon Network there are two asset, the Pylon Token or “PYLNT” and the Pyloncoin or “PYLNC”. Both assets play a particular role within Pylon Network and are related. The Pylon Token – PYLNT is a digital asset that represents the participation in the Pylon Network platform and with it come the rights associated with the distributed benefits (rewards) in the form of PYLNC. The Pyloncoin – PYLNC is a digital currency, which is created to reward the work done by the nodes, that validate and maintain the neutral database supported by Pylon Network’s blockchain. At the same time, a part of the coins created goes to green energy producers and prosumers (see “Light Nodes”), serving as an incentive/support mechanism for those who invest in renewable energy generation technologies. PYLNC has several utilities within the platform and the demand for coins will grow as more users and renewable generation plants become integrated. Our Token Paper (released on Feb. 4) contains all information regarding PYLNT and PYLNC – and can be found here."
},
{
"question": "Where can I find more technical characteristics of Pyloncoin (PYLNC)?",
"answer": "Pyloncoin Core is a SHA3 Keccak C algorithm (certified by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and the winner of several cryptographic contests), based on a fork of LiteCoin and a consecutive fork of CREAtivecoin. An overview of the characteristics and design considerations of Pylon Network’s blockchain can be found here."
},
{
"question": "Is there a way to access Pylon Network DEMO and see what is already demonstrated?",
"answer": "Up to date we have integrated appr. 8,000 users – all customers of our pilot partner and cooperative retailer from the Basque country of Spain, GoiEner. A history of the development of our project can be found in our Blog and our social media/communication channels (found at the bottom of our homepage). We have identified the lack of cooperation in the energy sector as a barrier to the transformation of our energy systems into intelligent, smart ones. We have identified this problem to all markets that we have analyzed. We see it as an epidemic of the energy markets and we develop Pylon Network for being the cure. We see open-source software as the ultimate cooperation tool for the digitalization of the energy sector and in full accord with blockchain’s “inherent” values and incentive mechanisms that was originally created for. Open source software (OSS) is crowdsourced and as a result, it offers numerous benefits – cost, flexibility, freedom, security, and accountability – that are unsurpassed by proprietary software solutions. OSS also has long-term viability and is always on the cutting-edge of technology. All aforementioned characteristics are things that our energy systems, our environment and our societies desperately need for dealing with the global problem of climate change and the degradation of our natural resources in the most timely manner. OSS as a cooperative tool can play a crucial role towards that direction."

{
"question": "What does it mean that Pylon Network’s Blockchain is Open-Source?",
"answer": "It simply means that Pylon’s core blockchain code (Pylon Coin), designed for the needs of the energy sector, has a non-commercial license. Which, in turn means that the code is free to copy, edit or modify and be integrated to any smart meter or any other energy tool/platform!"

"question": "How do I determine the correct size student instrument?",
"answer": "• Violin/Viola: Place the instrument under the chin in playing position. The instrument is the proper size if the palm and fingers of the performers left hand, with arm extended but elbow relaxed, can comfortably cup the scroll. • Cello: Seat the student so that the knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. The upper rim of the instrument should rest on the sternum (breast bone) and the left knee should contact the curve below the lower bout corner. The neck of the cello should be a few inches from the performers shoulder, and the C string peg should be near the left ear. The students left hand should be able to reach both ends of the fingerboard with ease, and the first and fourth fingers of the left hand should be able to span a major third in 1st position (E to G# on the D string). • Bass: With the student standing behind the bass in playing position, the fingerboard nut should be opposite the forehead near eye level. The right hand should be able to comfortably draw the bow from the frog to the tip. The first and fourth fingers of the left hand should be able to span a whole tone in 1st position (E to F# on the D string). The chart below is a general guide based on age of the student. *Subject to developmental variations among children of the same age."
},
{
"question": "How do I care for my Becker instrument?",
"answer": "• Keep the instrument clean. Wipe the body of the instrument, fingerboard and strings with a soft cloth after use. Do not clean the instrument with alcohol or water as these can cause damage to the wood and varnish. • Do not subject the instrument to sudden changes in temperature, humidity or prolonged sunlight. Do not leave it in a car for any length of time and keep it away from heaters and air conditioning vents. • Let the instrument have time to adjust to changes in temperature or humidity before opening the case. • Handle the instrument by the neck and chinrest to minimize wear on the varnish. • When tuning the instrument, gently twist the peg inward toward the pegbox to ensure good contact with the peg hole. • Never over tighten a string to stretch it. Tighten it to pitch and no higher. • Since the top of the bridge has a tendency to pull forward when strings are tightened, check that the back of the bridge remains perpendicular to the top of the instrument and that the bridge feet remain flush against the instrument. • Use a soft cloth between the instrument and player to help protect the varnish from perspiration. Be aware that buttons and jewelry can cause damage to the instrument. • Do not loosen the strings after playing. • Remove the shoulder rest or shoulder pad from a violin or viola before placing it back in the case. • Do not hang an instrument from a music stand or leave it on a chair. Return it to its case or a stringed instrument stand. • Tighten the chin rest to the instrument with just enough pressure to hold it firmly in place. Too much pressure can cause damage to the instrument. • Individual instrument humidifiers may be useful in areas of low humidity or during winter months. Use according to directions. • Check each string adjuster under the tailpiece. Over time the adjuster screw may be turned in as far as it will go which can cause contact with, and damage to, the violin top. Before this occurs, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise to a safe level and re-tune the string with the peg. • Occasionally check the shoulder rest feet to make sure that the rubber tubing has not worn through, which can damage the instrument. • Periodically check the edges of cellos and basses. Rough edges can splinter when caught on clothing or carpets, causing increased damage to the instrument. • Strings can be damaged if the grooves in the nut and bridge are not lubricated. To lubricate, use a very soft lead pencil. • When replacing strings, remove and replace only one string at a time. This will keep pressure on the top of the instrument to prevent the soundpost from falling and will also keep the bridge in the proper position. • The soundpost is held in place by string pressure. It is never glued into the instrument. If the soundpost falls down, immediately loosen the strings and do not play the instrument. Otherwise, the pressure of the strings could collapse the unsupported top. Take the instrument to a repair shop to have the soundpost refitted. • If a crack develops or a seam opens up, keep the area clean and take the instrument to a qualified repairperson for repair. • Do not attempt to adjust, repair or glue an instrument yourself. Take it to a repairperson for periodic check-ups and adjustments to avoid more costly repairs later on."
},
{
"question": "How do I care for my bow?",
"answer": "• Always hold the bow by the frog. Avoid touching the bow hair with the fingers since the natural oils from the skin prevent the bow hair from holding the rosin. • Tighten the bow hair to a moderate tension prior to playing so that the curve of the stick remains concave. If you cannot get enough tension by adjusting the screw, the bow hair may need shortening or rehairing. • Without rosin, the bow will not produce a sound from the instrument. Apply rosin evenly by drawing the bow hair over the rosin in smooth even strokes. Avoid the tendency to over-rosin the bow since too much rosin produces a harsh, coarse tone. It is not necessary to rosin the bow each time the instrument is played. • Do not attempt to remove excess rosin by striking the bow hair against a hard object or swishing it in the air. • Always loosen the bow hair after playing. This prevents stretching of the bow hair, reduces warping and helps the stick retains its elasticity. • Clean the bow stick with a soft clean cloth after each use. • Some insects and mites are attracted to bow hair. Keep the bow and case off the floor, especially in carpeted areas or closets. • When the bow hair becomes uneven due to broken hairs the bow is more susceptible to warping. Take it to a repairperson to be rehaired. • Periodically check the leather thumb grip near the frog and replace as necessary to prevent eroding the stick underneath."
},
{
"question": "How do I correct slipping or sticking pegs?",
"answer": "In time, normal use will cause the pegs and peg holes to wear. For slipping pegs, apply chalk to the areas of contact between the peg shaft and peg hole to provide more grip. For pegs that stick or are hard to turn, peg dope or soft graphite pencil lead can be applied to the contact areas. Eventually you may need to have replacement pegs fitted by a repairperson."
},
{
"question": "What if my bridge becomes displaced?",
"answer": "• The lowest side of the bridge fits under the E string on the violin, A string on the viola and cello and G string on the bass. • With the lowest side of the bridge under the correct string, center the feet of the bridge between the inner notches of the f-holes. • Position the bridge so that its back is perpendicular to the top of the instrument and the bridge feet fit flush."
},
{
"question": "What causes an instrument to buzz?",
"answer": "• Too much of the endpin retracted into the instrument on cellos and basses. • Open seams or cracks in the instrument. • Worn fingerboards that open up at the base of the neck. An open seam can be located by holding the instrument by the neck and gently tapping it all around the top and back. Take the instrument to a qualified repairperson for repair."

{
"question": "What is the benefit to my city for performing a Smoke Test?",
"answer": "The Sewer Division has performed hundreds of sewer system evaluations. Smoke Testing is one technique utilized to identify sections of sewers which may exhibit inflow during heavy rainfall. It can also detect structural damages and leaking joints in sewer pipes and overflow points in sewer systems. 2."
},
{
"question": "What exactly is a Smoke Test?",
"answer": "A 2-man or 3-man crew from the Sewer Division will use a high capacity blower smoke technique to test each sewer line. Smoke blowers are placed on manholes and smoke is blown through the sewer system. Anywhere the smoke exits, there is potential for stormwater to enter the sewer system. 3."
},
{
"question": "How will my residents know when Smoke Testing will be performed in their neighborhoods?",
"answer": "Prior to beginning the smoke testing, the Sewer Division will place door hangers on the front door of every building on the streets to be smoke tested at least 24 to 48 hours in advance. Notices will be distributed by 2 people from the smoke testing field crew. If requested by the city, the Sewer Division will post the smoke testing schedule on the Village of Deerfield website. 4."
},
{
"question": "How are Sewer Division crews recognizable in the field?",
"answer": "The Sewer Division’s personnel are uniformed and carry identification badges. Crew members operate from vehicles with Village of Deerfield signage. 5."
},
{
"question": "Is the smoke that you use hazardous?",
"answer": "No. The smoke that comes out of the vent stacks on houses or holes in the ground is non-toxic, harmless, and has no odor. It does not create a fire hazard. 6."
},
{
"question": "Do my city's residents have to do anything to prepare their homes for Smoke Testing?",
"answer": "Drain traps should always be filled with water to prevent sewer gases from entering the building. About 3 cups of water should be poured in floor and sink drains, filling the traps to prevent smoke from entering the home. If smoke does enter, the resident should consult a licensed plumber. If harmless smoke can enter through faulty plumbing, the potential exists for dangerous sewer gases to also enter the home. Should smoke enter your building or structure, contact a member of the smoke testing crew working in the area. 7."
},
{
"question": "What if smoke comes out of a resident's yard or driveway?",
"answer": "This could mean that there a drain on the property which is connected to the house lateral instead of the storm system. It could also mean that there is not direct connection, but that the lateral has breaks or cracks in the pipe that drain runoff after it has percolated into the soil. 8."
},
{
"question": "Does the resident need to be home when the Smoke Testing is performed?",
"answer": "Homeowners do not need to be home and at no time will field crews need to enter the residence. Field inspectors will be noticeable documenting the testing, taking photos and measuring distances so that the defects may be found at a later date and repaired. 10."
},
{
"question": "What if a test yields no smoke defects?",
"answer": "Obviously, if the sanitary sewer line and the lateral are in good condition, and there are no drainage facilities connected to them, the smoke has no place to go other than up the house vent stack, as it is supposed to. However, sometimes the smoke doesn't appear at all even though there is a defect. The Sewer Division crews are trained to identify these \"suspect\" situations and performed a dye test to conclusively determine whether the suspect is positive or negative. But this is a subject for its own set of QAs."

"question": "More about this: What is the difference between a blog and a website?",
"answer": "No matter what your age, a blog is a great way to start a side hustle and make money from home. Blogging is not just for millennials and computer savvy individuals. I, myself, am in a completely different stage of life. I have four children – my oldest is in his early twenties and my youngest is a teenager. For me, paying for four college educations is a reality right now – and retirement is looming ahead. Even though I don't make a full-time income from my blog yet, the income that I do make is helpful. Money, of course, should not be your only reason for blogging but should be a goal. More about this: Why owning a website is better than social media."
},
{
"question": "Do I need strong technical skills to be a blogger?",
"answer": "In a nutshell, yes you do but no you don't. But if you are not strong technically – it is NOT a deal breaker. What you really need to start a successful blog is a willingness to learn. Technology can be intimidating – especially to people of, ahem – a certain age like me, who weren't raised with it. But the reality is that the world is run by technology. You can either sit in the dark ages and let it pass you by or you can jump in and learn as you go. The technical skills that you learn through blogging will help you in every other aspect of your life. Blogging platforms are so much easier to use than ever before. work with digital images – resizing, cropping, adding text overlays etc. If you have a specialized skill or passion – that is a good place to start. There are tons of brainstorming activities that you can do to narrow down the scope of your website. But if you plan to make money from your website – you should evaluate how monetizable your topic is."
},
{
"question": "How much money can I make with my blog?",
"answer": "This is the million dollar question – and some bloggers actually do make millions of dollars. When I am talking about blogging here, I am talking about traditional blogging. This means writing articles on your blog about a particular topic, that appeal to your readers. I am not talking about “internet marketing” – meaning doing webinars, or summits, or any myriad of other internet marketing techniques. Yes, you might end up using these techniques to build traffic to your blog – but actual blogging is what I cover here. So getting back to the original question – I have found that in the beginning, the answer depends on website traffic. It is quite logical. People need to come to your website and interact with your links, your content, your advertising etc. You can have the greatest site in the world – but if no one shows up, then no one is buying and no one is clicking."
},
{
"question": "How much website traffic do I need to make money?",
"answer": "There is no standard answer to this. It depends on the value of what you offer and what your commissions or profit margins are. However, as a rule of thumb for an “average” blogger – I would say you need at least 10,000 pageviews per month to start seeing some regular monthly income – probably under $1,000 per month at this traffic level. As you get closer to 30,000 pageviews per month you will see good traction and also be able to partner with some ad networks."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take to get traffic?",
"answer": "Just like an offline business, people want to know that you are the real deal before they start to trust. Building that trust takes time. The best path is to show up every day and do your job, consistently. Because it takes so long to establish yourself, you should start a blog when you don't necessarily need a steady income from it. Start your blog on the side when you are staying home with your kids, or while you still have a full-time job that pays the bills."
},

"question": "How much time does blogging take on a weekly basis?",
"answer": "If you want to create a business from your blog, you need to work it. You need time to plan (use an editorial calendar), create content, create graphics, share your work, and build relationships. At a minimum, you need to set aside 10 hours per week. But honestly, you really need to put in more time than that. The more time you put in, the more you get out. “Work smarter not harder” works for here, too – but blogging for beginners is different. You need to put in the time up front so you spread your brand and your name. People will tell you that blogging is one of the cheapest businesses to start. You don't have rent to pay or furniture to buy. But blogging is not free by any means. On WordPress, you will need to buy a hosting plan and a WordPress theme. On Squarespace you will pay the monthly fee. This is at a minimum. You may not need to get everything at once, but as your blog grows you will start to assess your needs. Here is a summary of some of the more common blogging costs. Please educate yourself on the differences before you start. First, know that there is a difference between self-hosted WordPress.org and WordPress.com. They are not the same thing! By far, self-hosted WordPress offers you the most flexibility by way of plugins – but you have to do regular maintenance, or at least be familiar with what needs to be done. If you are looking for cheapWordPress hosting – my favorite hosting by far is Bluehost. While self-hosted WordPress is by far my favorite blogging platform, I recognize that WordPress is not for everyone. When it comes to blogging for beginners, a decent option for those that don't want to go the WordPress route is Squarespace. Keep in mind that it is not as flexible as self hosted WordPress, but all of the behind the scenes work is managed by Squarespace itself. So you can focus on creating content. I have a few clients on Squarespace and my advice was – if the complexity of WordPress is keeping you from blogging at all, then just use Squarespace and get started. However, I do feel that Squarespace is a better choice for brick and mortar business as opposed to people that want to make their blog their business. A third option that is generally more costly than a shared hosting account is managed WordPress. This is still considered self-hosted (NOT WordPress.com) but the hosting company actually maintains all of the updates to your WordPress platform. I use BigScoots managed WordPress hosting for this site and I have been very happy with them."

"question": "How long is a piece of string?",
"answer": "The truth is, its different for everyone although its been proven that the students that practise the most by attending & repeating classes as well as go out to dance, improve faster than then average student that doesn’t. You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in! Most people come in after work gear but some change to gym attire. Regarding shoes, due to the floor texture at Shark hotel, if you come in rubber soled shoes (sports sneakers) be prepared for the floor to be a little sticky. Ladies especially at the beginning levels, consider not wearing open toed shoes as your feet may get stepped on. Other than that, just dress to have fun!"

},
{
"question": "What encryption method is used for Office 365 Message Encryption?",
"answer": "Office 365 Message Encryption uses Rights Management Services (RMS) as its encryption infrastructure. The encryption method used depends on where you obtain the RMS keys used to encrypt and decrypt messages. Cryptographic Mode 2 is used. Cryptographic Mode 2 is an updated and enhanced AD RMS cryptographic implementation. It supports RSA 2048 for signature and encryption, and supports SHA-256 for signature. Q."
},
{
"question": "Why do some encrypted messages say they come from [email protected]?",
"answer": "When an encrypted reply is sent from the encryption portal or through the OME Viewer app, the sending email address is set to [email protected] because the encrypted message is sent through a Microsoft endpoint. This helps to prevent encrypted messages from being marked as spam. The displayed name on the email and the address within the encryption portal aren't changed because of this labeling. Also, this labeling only applies to messages sent through the portal, not through any other email client. Q."
},
{
"question": "How many recipients can I send an Office 365 encrypted message to?",
"answer": "The recipient limit for an encrypted message is based on the number of characters in the message’s To field. When combined (after distribution list expansion), recipient addresses in the To field should not exceed 11,980 characters. Because email addresses can vary in character length, there isn’t a standard recipient limit for a single encrypted message. Q."

"question": "What is the proper way to clean hard-water stains off of my natural stone surface?",
"answer": "I put something down on my polished stone and now it has a light-colored ring mark on it. It looks like a water spot, but I can't get rid of it."
},
{
"question": "How do I remove mildew and algae from my natural stone shower?",
"answer": "A sealer is a specially formulated chemical product designed to protect your tile, stone and grout. Sealing your surfaces will decrease the possibility of anything staining or harming your surface. Within those two types, you have four sub-types: water-based, oil-based, lacquer-based and solvent-based. Sealers can also bring your stone to its raw state, enhance the color, add gloss, reduce gloss, etc., or do nothing but seal. Your own performance and appearance objectives will dictate the type of sealer you use. Like any investment, your quality surfaces call for the best and most practical protection possible. Protected stone, tile and grout is easier to clean, resists staining, and provides a healthier and safer environment. With proper maintenance, these surfaces can easily serve you a lifetime. That depends on how the surface in question is used and what environment it's in."
},
{
"question": "For example, how often do you clean your carpet?",
"answer": "Generally speaking, the same goes for your stone. The only hard-and-fast answer for this question applies to areas that are regularly in contact with water (showers, fountains, etc.) which should be sealed at least once every twelve months. Our suggestion would be to use a daily counter cleaner specifically formulated for tile and stone some are available in a spray, some come as a wipe. For a more aggressive cleaning, we recommend using a spray. For grout, use a brush on the grout joints and then wipe it down. Every cleaning reinforces the protection of the initial sealing, and less is more when it comes to cleaning tile and stone do not use more than is necessary to cover your area. Apply a drop of water (about the size of a nickel) to the surface and let stand for at least 15 minutes. If the stone does not darken, then your stone is likely sealed against water-based stains. However, testing for oil repellency is not as simple because if the stone surface is not sealed, then you don't want to stain it by deliberating placing oil on it. Be aware that although your surface may repel water, that does not mean that it has been sealed properly its best to get a professional evaluation. Amount of use, level of maintenance, and environment all affect sealer life. Generally speaking, if you sealed your stone with a quality sealant and have maintained it regularly with daily cleaners, your sealer can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years. However, just because a sealer can last several years, that doesn't means that it will or even should. All factors should be considered. For example, a countertop in your summer cabin can go longer between each sealing than a shower floor in your townhouse that gets used daily. Every stone is different. Based on the product you're using and the type of stone, one coat may be sufficient, however, some stone surfaces and grout will require two coats, and a few of the more absorbent stones may need additional coats to be properly sealed. Consult the manufacturer or call a stone care professional both can offer more specific information on how many coats are needed for your particular natural stone."
},
{
"question": "Will sealing my stone and tile prevent it from scratching and chipping?",
"answer": "No not any more than having a car waxed prevents it from getting scratched or dented. Sealing protects the stone and tile from harmful elements the same as a car wax does, however, by the same logic, it is not an invisible bullet-proof shield. If you roll a desk chair across your travertine floor or drop a stack of frozen steaks against your granite bar, no amount of sealer will keep them from getting damaged. Outdoor elements can be very harsh on your stone. Things that affect your stone range from the visible (pollen, dirt, etc.) to the invisible (ultra-violet rays from sunlight). If your aim is to preserve the natural stone in your yard in which you have already made an investment, spending the time and money to seal it is the most practical thing you can do. Sealing with our sealers will give you maximum protection against rain and snow, chemicals, pollutants, oils from trees and plants, and all the mess that goes along with a typical outdoor barbeque. Remember that before your stone was ever installed, before it was cut from its quarry, its look was first created naturally by years of water and outdoor elements. These natural elements will continue to alter its appearance. Besides weather, you are also faced with the same appearance-altering issues of an interior environment such as food, drinks, pollutants, pet liquids, etc. If you like the way your stone looks now and don't want it to change, the only defense you have is to seal it. By the same logic, if you want it to continue being shaped by the elements, then you don't have to do anything. Our best advice is for you to decide what your personal maintenance and appearance objectives are, and then ask a professional to recommend what is required to meet them. Most quality sealants provide plenty of protection from UV rays. Sub-surface sealers (not topical sealers) are best for outdoor installations. Sunlight, however, isn't really a big problem for natural stone not anywhere as much as water, dirt, grime and grease. Look at any large office building that has a natural stone façade these stone surfaces are in direct sunlight all day long and their worst enemy is water and dirt, not sunshine. Being able to survive constant sunlight is one of the best things about having natural stone! Like any stone installation, that depends on how you want it to look in the long-run. If you want it to look the same as the day it was installed, then, yes, you do need to seal your granite. Remember that American ideas of stone beauty can be very different from the rest of the world. In Europe and South America, stone is usually installed and never treated, so that after years of dirt, water and use, it has an old-world patina the kind of look that many Americans pay big bucks for to have installed new. Whatever look your stone has now, if you want it to continue looking the same way, you will need to maintain it accordingly and that includes sealing it. Use one part LimeAway with one part Comet with one part crystal Drano and scrub vigorously with a No. 4 Brillo pad. This is actually an etch mark, which is commonly confused with hard-water staining. Etch marks are not stains but they occur on stone surfaces when acids or other chemicals react with the minerals in the stone. This causes the surface to feel rough and look a little discolored - usually lighter. Unlike water stains, etch marks actually require refinishing the surface in order to restore the original, polished look. Yes, you can learn how to refinish a stone surface yourself (if you spend enough time and money, you can learn how to do anything), but we recommend that you consult a professional to remove etch marks. A topical sealer will prevent etch marks because they sit on the surface, however, most of us don't like the way a topical sealer looks on natural stone. A sub-surface sealer gives the best look, but as it doesn't sit on top of the surface, it won't prevent etch marks. The best solution is to take care that nothing comes in contact with your stone that will leave an etch mark. Keep in mind, too, that not all stones have chemical reactions. Most granite, for instance, do not have this chemical-reaction problem and will not etch. The technical definition for porosity is the ratio of the volume of a material's pores to its total volume. In other words, the ability your stone has to soak up stains like a sponge. Granite is like any other natural stone; it can be dense or porous, and is absorbent to some degree. Stones that have more swirls or veins tend to be more porous and absorbent. Generally, granite with smaller crystals is more absorbent than granite with large crystals. Stone could sometimes be from the same quarry but from different sections and different cutters. Some stones look identical but originate from different parts of the world, which makes the appearance look the same but possibly with different mineral composition. Names for stone are also subject to how the particular seller wishes to market it. We recommend having a pro evaluate your installation once a year to keep you up on any professional maintenance that may be required between your normal routine. Very important. Cracked grout can easily let elements into the spaces between the tile and the mortar, which will eventually result in tiles coming loose or falling off. In addition, cracked grout can easily become missing grout, which can then result in a ruined installation in half the time. Repairing cracked grout before it goes missing is definitely worth either the time it takes to do it yourself or the expense it takes to have it done professionally. There are some products that can be used on practically any surface, however many cleaning products that are specifically designed for ceramic tile are typically harsher and can damage both the natural stone and the sealer. Most ceramic tile cleaners you get at the grocery store will have acid or alkaline, which are never appropriate for natural stone. Some professional cleaning products can be used on both ceramic tile and natural stone, but only if properly diluted. Actually, a good nonabrasive, everyday stone cleaner should be all you need to remove soap scum from ceramic tile while using a nylon bristle brush or dish sponge. If soap scum is to the point that it can not be removed using an everyday cleaner, a good non-chlorine degreaser should be used at a dilution of 10 to 1. To remove mildew and algae from an area that has not been maintained properly, we recommend using a degreaser that has been diluted with hot water. For natural stone, the degreasers available on this site should be diluted 20 parts water to 1 part degreaser. Use a plastic-bristled scrub brush and wear protective gloves. The same goes for anywhere you find algae or mildew on ceramic tile - swimming pools, fountains, etc. While some household cleaning guides suggest using a mixture of chlorine bleach and water, it is actually safer just to use a daily cleaner that prevents the growth of mildew and algae (all the cleaners available through this site inhibit the growth of mildew and algae). Chlorine bleach, even when diluted, can change the color of grout and neighboring surfaces."

"question": "Why the Enterprise Architecture Center of Excellence (EACOE)?",
"answer": "The Enterprise Architecture Center of Excellence (EACOE) is a vendor-neutral, practitioner-based organization solely dedicated to Enterprise Architecture and the Enterprise Architect. We provide the Enterprise Architecture communities with continuing evolving best-practice holistic environments for the practice of Enterprise Architecture. Our certification approach is simple and straightforward – learn the practice of Enterprise Architecture, actually perform Enterprise Architecture, have that performance reviewed by the worlds most experience Enterprise, and receive the appropriate level of certification. You gain experience, use your knowledge and the knowledge of other practitioners, add to the knowledge base, and continue to grow the profession. EACOE provide the recognized practitioning standard for Enterprise Architects and Business Architects. As you review the workshop outlines, you will see the most comprehensive and complete body of knowledge in the profession. Certification through EACOE will provide you with a referenceable standard, and is the benchmark for the Enterprise Architecture practitioning professions. You will be recognized for your achievements – now and in the future. Certifying against a defined body of knowledge is crucial to advance the profession. All professional disciplines begin with a body of knowledge as a reference point. The EACOE Enterprise Architecture Certification processes follow this professional discipline. Without this body of knowledge, the results of the Enterprise Architecture will be inconsistent, and difficult to verify. As an example, chemistry was alchemy until Mendeleev defined the chemical periodic table of elements. Once the periodic table of the elements was defined, a body of knowledge was developed. From this body of knowledge, alchemy could be transformed to chemistry and “chemical engineering”. The chemical engineering profession then flourished. Numerous other parallels in other disciplines can be drawn with the same positive conclusions. Our advisory Board of Directors are from the partitioning community – we are truly vendor neutral. EACOE accept no funding or support from outside concerns – we are strictly here for the Enterprise Architecture Practitioner community. Of course we welcome software vendors and service vendors to our community – all should practice from the same body of knowledge. Finally, with EACOE, and only with EACOE, you get a consistent instructional experience. We provide a single consistent practitioner-based workshop environment, guaranteed to be consistent – one instructor, one consistent and timely body of knowledge, and the highest possible learning experience. By packaging all requirements in one comprehensive workshop (with the exception of the advanced certification requirement of actual Enterprise Architecture practice), all guesswork and inconsistencies are taken out of the process. The Certification received is consistent and practice-based. Everyone is measured against the same criteria and body of knowledge – the only way to assure professional results across the community."
},
{
"question": "Can I Benefit from the Certification workshop if I am not Seeking Certification?",
"answer": "The workshop will provide valuable insight for all that manage, interface, or desire an understanding of Enterprise Architecture & Enterprise Architects. Certification is an option for those attending this workshop."
},
{
"question": "How do People Know I am EACOE Certified?",
"answer": "All EACOE Members will receive a certificate, lapel pin, and a membership card, colored to denote the appropriate classification, and noting the expiration date of the classification certification. The appropriate certification logo can be used by the Certified Enterprise Architect in correspondence. Initial Certification takes place at the end of the Certification workshop, upon successful completion of the extensive classroom exercises. Senior, Distinguished, and Fellow designations require additional submissions and reviews. Certification of these advanced designations usually takes thirty days after successful submissions are received, and the evaluation criteria met. Each candidate for advanced Certification submits an individualized plan for these certification levels."
},
{
"question": "Who is Reviewing my Work and What are their qualifications?",
"answer": "You will be evaluated by Certified Enterprise Architects that have at least ten years of experience in Enterprise Architecture and the body of knowledge represented by the EACOE Certification workshops. Our objective it to get you certified, not to prevent certification. All of our staff are practicing Enterprise Architects – the EACOE is in existence for practitioners, and run by practitioners."
},
{
"question": "What Should be in my Individualized Plan for Advanced Certification?",
"answer": "An individualized plan should contain a profile of how the candidate intends to demonstrate advanced Enterprise Architecture skills. The focus is on the defined artifacts that are an Enterprise Architecture. Additionally, project management, business understanding, and organization skills demonstration should be in the individualized plan. All of these components are part of the EACOE Certification workshops, and part of a seasoned Enterprise Architecture skill set. EACOE Advanced Certification require demonstrating actual Enterprise Architecture artifacts. As examples, this would include models, project plans, benefit testimonials, Enterprise Architecture documents, surveys, etc. EACOE will accept materials with some redaction. Confidentiality agreements can be executed. Professional Certification in most professions are limited in time. EACOE Certification is consistent with this concept. EACOE Certification for an Enterprise is valid for two years. Advanced categories of EACOE Certification are valid for three years. Certification renewal has the same requirements as initial Certification."

https://trademarkfactory.com/faq/what-is-weekly-confusion-watch-service | [
{
"question": "What Is Weekly Confusion Watch Service?",
"answer": "One of the services Trademark Factory® offers is weekly confusion watch service. Weekly Confusion Watch Service is a service that we offer, Trademark Factory offers, that goes outside of the regular trademark registration process. What that allows you to do is to have updated information as to when somebody else is trying to file a trademark similar to yours. Every week we would check the Trademarks Office database to see whether somebody is trying to file a trademark that looks like yours, that sounds like yours, that may mean similar things. The purpose of that is for you to know when to act against them if you need to. There are a few reasons why you want to do it. Because the trademark registration process, as you will know, is long—It takes several months, 18 months in Canada, 14 months in the US, 12 months in Europe; It takes about eight months in Canada, four months in US, and about four months in Europe for you to even hear back from the Trademarks Office the first time around—when somebody else files a trademark that may be similar to yours, they won't even know necessarily if it's similar to yours, especially if they didn't do the proper trademark search. What you want to do is to notify them right away that you see what they're doing and that you don't approve of it. The benefit of that is that even if the Trademarks Office is going to stop them, is going to write back to them and say, \"Well, we think your trademark is too close to somebody else's,\" a lot of time will have passed and they will have invested a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of energy in building what they think is their brand. It's a lot easier to make them stop early if you say, \"Excuse me, excuse me, this trademark that you're trying to file is actually too close to ours. We filed it before you did and we're going to do everything to make sure the Trademarks Office doesn't allow yours. I would suggest that you abandon this trademark right away before you invest more time, money and energy building that up.\" It works in many cases—just as you would expect. If it doesn't, then you can again continue monitoring what happens with that other trademark and see if the Trademarks Office approves it. If they do approve it, then it will go to publication, which will allow you to oppose it. This is especially important in Europe, where the Trademarks Office is not going to examine somebody else's trademark based on its being confusingly similar with somebody else's trademarks, meaning yours. It's the responsibility of a trademark owner to oppose any trademarks that they think are confusingly similar to theirs."
},
{
"question": "How are you going to know about those other new trademarks if you don't really have somebody consistently watching their database to make sure that nothing slips through the cracks?",
"answer": "Again, we offer a service called Weekly Confusion Watch Service. We can do it before your trademark registers, after your trademarks registers. We can even do it without actually working on your trademark if you need to. Just tell us what the brand is and we will make sure that whenever somebody files a trademark similar to yours, you're going to get notified and you'll decide whether you want to send a nasty letter, whether you want to wait to see what the Trademarks Office does with that, whether you want to oppose it when the times comes, whether you want to sue them in the court system. That decision you can make based on the information that we're going to provide to you."

"answer": "Stuart Miller, the head of the ITF’s Science and Technical department, oversees the doping program. In a recent interview, he said the ITF’s anti-doping budget is $1.5 million. The ITF spends most of this money on testing, Miller says. The figure does not include salaries related to anti-doping personnel; those are under the ITF’s general budget."
},
{
"question": "For what substances are players being tested?",
"answer": "Tennis tests for substances on the WADA prohibited substance list, including steroids and EPO, which is an endurance-boosting agent. For more information on these substances, visit this page of WADA’s web site."
},
{
"question": "Are tennis players subjected to urine tests, blood tests, or both?",
"answer": "Both, but not necessarily at each and every test. The ITF has the right to test for urine, blood, or both at any time, in competition and out of competition. It may also take different amounts of urine or blood, depending on which tests are scheduled (the EPO test, for example, requires more urine). According to its records, the ITF did not conduct any out-of-competition blood or EPO tests in 2009. And the only in-competition blood and EPO tests conducted by the ITF were done at Grand Slam tournaments."
},
{
"question": "Does the ITF test for human growth hormone (HGH)?",
"answer": "No. Though a test for HGH is available, it’s still under consideration by many sports, including tennis. The first-ever positive test for HGH in the sports world came earlier this year, when British doping authorities obtained a positive test for a rugby player. The HGH test requires a blood sample, and HGH is not detectable in a person’s system for long after he or she takes it."
},
{
"question": "What about EPO?",
"answer": "The simplest answer, according to Miller of the ITF, is, it depends. Different substances have different excretion rates, some as short as hours and others as long as weeks. Miller says other factors can contribute to excretion: The amount of the substance the athlete uses; the athlete’s physical activity level; and the athlete’s metabolism and diet."
},
{
"question": "How often are players tested?",
"answer": "In 2009, the ITF conducted 2,126 tests (total for both men and women at all levels, including Challenger events); 154 of those were out-of-competition tests. Roger Federer was tested 17 times in 2009: 12 urine tests, four blood tests, and one test for EPO (one of those tests was out of competition, the rest were at tournaments). Miller says additional out-of-competition tests were conducted by a testing agency licensed by WADA, but statistics for those are not currently available (for a complete look at the data, visit the ITF’s doping statistics page). The number of tests has increased markedly since 1991, when 312 tests were performed. Individual countries may also test tennis players as part of their national doping programs. When at the Olympics, tennis players are subject to the same tests as other Olympic athletes."
},
{
"question": "Will the number of player tests continue to increase?",
"answer": "For the time being, yes, but Miller sees an eventual “plateau” in the amount of testing. “There are some anti-doping organizations that see this as a numbers game, and that more testing equals better testing,” Miller says. “I think more intelligent testing equals better testing.” Miller expects out-of-competition tests to increase, as well as targeted testing. A “targeted test” is based on suspicion of doping, a noticeable improvement in performance, or other factors."
},
{
"question": "What is the whereabouts program?",
"answer": "The whereabouts program requires players to notify the ITF of their whereabouts during a one-hour window of each day of the year. During that one-hour window, the player must be available for testing at a specific location (i.e., the player’s hotel, a restaurant, a photo shoot, etc.). The whereabouts program applies to all players, men and women, who finished inside the Top 50 during the previous year, as well as the Top 10 doubles players and the Top 5 wheelchair and quad players."
},
{
"question": "What happens if a player fails to participate in the program?",
"answer": "Yanina Wickmayer found out last year. The Belgian was suspended by the ITF for a year for failing to report her whereabouts. She appealed the ruling in a Belgian court and won reinstatement in an initial ruling, though her legal fight is ongoing. If a player notifies the ITF of his or her whereabouts and is unavailable when a tester arrives, the player is subject to a strike, at the discretion of the ITF. Any combination of failures to report whereabouts or missed tests adding up to three is considered a doping offense and receives a minimum one-year ban, and a maximum of two years."
},
{
"question": "Who adjudicates positive tests and decides whether players should be punished, and for how long?",
"answer": "Cases are adjudicated by anti-doping tribunals, which are appointed by the ITF and act independently (the members are experts and not ITF employees; players have the right to challenge an appointee). If the ITF receives a positive test, it informs the player and begins the adjudication process. The ITF will advocate for penalty before the tribunal, which will decide to uphold the ITF’s recommendation, or side with the player if the player presents a defense. In the recent case of Richard Gasquet, for example, the ITF sought a one-year suspension when Gasquet tested positive for cocaine. A tribunal accepted Gasquet’s defense, which was that he tested positive for the drug after kissing a woman who had used it, and reduced the suspension to two and a half months. The ITF unsuccessfully appealed the reduced sanction to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)."
},
{
"question": "What notable players have tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs?",
"answer": "Tennis has had numerous positive tests over the years; for a full list, visit the ITF’s anti-doping decisions page. Czech player Petr Korda, the 1998 Australian Open champion, tested positive for the steroid nandrolone at Wimbledon in 1998 and after a long court battle, was suspended for one year (at which point he had already retired from the sport). Then there was the case of Sesil Karatantcheva, a Bulgarian teenager who was suspended for two years after testing positive for nandrolone. Other players who received suspensions after positive tests include Mariano Puerta (the 2005 French Open finalist) and Guillermo Canas. More recent suspensions have involved recreational drugs, which are also banned under the WADA code: Gasquet and Martina Hingis for cocaine. One tennis player, David Sebok, was the rare athlete who admitted to doping when he tested positive for four banned substances in 2004. He was suspended for two years. Tom Perrotta is a senior editor at TENNIS magazine."

{
"question": "Can anybody advise on some technical issues ?",
"answer": "Unable to drag and drop a bunch of images to create a photo album. Any advise or screenshots welcome ! We have had yet this discussion in the recent past (!!) and you're right. For me, I think Corgi is too expensive vs other Trades as Hobby Master, Gemini or Dragon, and less accurate . I prefer a HM 1/48 model, often cheaper or equal to a 1/72 Corgi. But they have a lot of German Dormier, Junkers or Heinkels which are very interesting. The only bomber I have from Corgi Archives is a 1/72 Doolittle B25 and a 1/144 English B17. Bob here in Kansas and an early member of this group. The group has grown and we have a nice well rounded group of collectors of different aircraft and model companies. Many of you know that I'm a big fan of Corgi diecast 1:72 aircraft of WWII. I do purchase other diecast aircraft from different companies, scales and aircraft from WWI and Jets (1st and 2nd generation). You can say that my collection varies but the main collection is Corgi Aircraft of World War 2. I've have a problem with Corgi Aircraft which was taken over by Hornby a couple three years ago and there was push to keep Corgi going and not falling by the wayside like a lot of companies. Many of us here in the States thought that there would be some changes and that those changes would be for the best, but for the collectors in the US and other Countries! My concerns about Corgi and a new direction has not been a good one because it hasn't changed. It's the same old stuff over and over again and somewhere and some how it needs to change! If you collect Corgi Aircraft of WWII look at your models from Corgi and see if there is a nice collection of models from the Countries that were involved in WWII. When I say WWII that includes the ETO, PTO, MTO and the CBITO. Since 2009 we've seen a whole bunch of Spitfires which I like but it comes to the point that when you produce 3 spitfires all the same except for the call letters along the side are different in the same catalogue it becomes re-dundant. I have all the P-51 Mustangs by Corgi and you can put them side by side and they are different because each pilot has added his only personal touch to the model thus making them different. The Spits never had the pilots add their personal touch to the aircraft. There all the same with the same camouflage and the only difference is the call letters along the side. I would like those of you that agree with me to email, write or both to Corgi asking them to start producing other models besides British Aircraft and produce other models from other countries. Also they have the molds for the P-38, P-47 and the Zero that they could come out with new models for these aircraft that we've not seen for a long time. How about a few French and Russian aircraft for a change and remember these countries help win the war! Also, don't forget the Italian aircraft, which there were several good aircraft and pilots. I hope that those of you that agree with me to write or email Corgi asking for other models besides the ones they are producing now. It's time for them to get off the wagon and start coming out with a few new models like the Short Stirling which was a great start to getting back in the groove! The new Corgi Catalogue that will be coming out soon does not have one american fighter aircraft model."

"question": "What is the legroom like in your seats?",

Legroom varies from section to section, as described below. Sixteen (16) auditorium level seats in have been allocated to patrons in wheelchairs with an equal number of seats for companions in Row U.

"question": "What now?",
"answer": "There are several new sites that do appraisals for a modest fee. If you cannot read the artist's signature on the work, and have absolutely no idea what you have, these sites can help.. They are: www,collectingchannel.com, www.appraiseitnet.com, www.evalueit.com, www.auctionwatch.com. Do your research."
},
{
"question": "Are they listed?",
"answer": "Take a photo of the painting and, take it to your local museum or art history department."
},
{
"question": "Can they help you with the artist's name?",
"answer": "If you get this information, look the painter up in books in the local library and make a photocopy of the artist's biography. Perhaps a curator from your local museum knows the name of a dealer who specializes in work from the region and period of the painting. Get an appraisal from her. Send a copy of the biography and photograph to Sotheby's or Christie's or a local auction house for an appraisal. When you have this information, either put the painting up at auction, give it to the dealer for resale, give it to a museum for a tax deduction, or enjoy it yourself. Aunt Bessie was an artist. She died and left me with 100 paintings."
},
{
"question": "Now what?",
"answer": "I always recommend that you visit your local university art history department and try to hook up with an art history student who might be interested in researching Bessie's career. These budding art historians are always looking for an undiscovered, deceased artist to bring to the market in an effort to make their name. Lastly, contact a lawyer involved with the art market to appraise the estate. I saw a painting I liked in a local gallery."
},
{
"question": "Should I ask for a discount?",
"answer": "Sure, everyone else does - Why not you?. The Art Lady's law of the discount - \"Prices of art never go down. Discounts on art go up\" Whether or not you'll get it is another question. Good situations for discounts include - if the artist is not selling well (obviously), if the dealer feels you might be an ongoing client he wants to cultivate, or if there the dealer has had the piece in inventory for a while and his cost was low. There are situations where a the dealer cannot consider a discount such as if he's gotten the piece on consignment from a collector and has little negotiating room, or if the artist is selling out. It never hurts to ask."

{
"question": "Splitting doses: A good strategy for colonoscopy preparation?",
"answer": "My doctor had me take bowel cleansing liquid the night before my colonoscopy and then the morning of."
},
{
"question": "Is this a good colonoscopy preparation?",
"answer": "To make bowel preparation more tolerable and improve outcomes, many doctors recommend splitting the dose of bowel preparation solution. This regimen may not be possible if your colonoscopy is scheduled for early in the morning, because you should consume the morning dose three hours before leaving home for the procedure. If your procedure is scheduled at a time that allows you to split the dose, follow the instructions provided by your doctor. Take the recommended amount of the bowel cleansing liquid the night before the exam, and the remainder in the morning before the test. Depending on the type of preparation, your doctor may recommend splitting the dose 1-to-1 or 3-to-1. The biggest reason for poor colonoscopy preparation is people's distaste for having to drink large quantities of bowel cleansing solution. The most common colonoscopy preparation calls for drinking 1 gallon (4 liters) of a polyethylene glycol solution. Some studies have shown that more than a third of people don't complete the full preparation. Studies have shown that the split-dose approach not only is more tolerable but also does a better job of cleaning the colon. Better cleaning will lead to better results. One study found that doctors detected more benign polyps in people who prepared with split doses than in people who prepared with single doses. Cleaning as much waste material as possible from your large intestine (colon) is crucial to a successful colonoscopy exam. Poor colonoscopy preparation can prevent your doctor from finding polyps, tumors and other problems. It also increases the length of the exam and the risk of complications. In many cases, the exam has to be redone. Ask your doctor about split-dose preparation for your next colonoscopy. A-Rahim YI.
