"question": "Do You Need a Master’s in Education Degree To Qualify for Tenure?",
"answer": "If you are currently an educator or you are mapping out the route that you will take to become one, you may want to know if you need a Master in Education degree to qualify for tenure. To work as a full-time, tenure-track educator, you must meet certain requirements and prove that you are skilled and passionate about your role. Tenure offers you great protection in your career but every state and educational system has their own path that you must take. Read on, and find out when a master’s is and is not required."
},
{
"question": "What is a Tenure and Why is it So Important?",
"answer": "Tenure is technically defined as the right to due process so that high schools, colleges and other educational institutions cannot legally fire a teacher or professor without providing evidence that they are not competent or they have been inappropriate, according to the National Education Association. Since evidence must be provided and there is an entire process that school officials must follow, only about 2% of professors on the tenure-track lose their job annually. To get your tenure, you must complete a probationary period and show that you are professional and competent in your role. While a professor is on probation, it is okay for the seniors in charge of hiring to fire the professor without cause at any time and go with a new faculty contract. The senior professors in charge of evaluation will work with administrators and new non-tenured faculty to evaluate their research capabilities and how they service the classroom to decide if they are deserving of tenure. If there are not recommended for tenure, the professor will lose their job and probation starts over when they begin under a new teaching contract."
},
{
"question": "How Long Does it Take to Become a Tenured Educator?",
"answer": "Only about one-third of college professors are tenured faculty, and this is a major cause for concern in the field. If you are hired on the tenure-track in a college setting, it typically will take about three years at a junior college and seven years at a four-year college to be granted tenure. If you are working in a high school, middle school or primary school, everything is based on the state law that applies to public schools. Some states have five-year requirements and others have 10-year requirements where all public school teachers are considered ‘on probation’. The average tenure-track duration in the United States is about seven years when you average the laws across the country. You might assume that getting a graduate degree is the number one way for getting through probation, but that is not always the case. A master’s degree in education will help you strengthen your knowledge on curriculum development, instruction, administration or counseling, but it is not centered around teaching specifically. It is more focused on the educational system than educating your students like a Master’s of Arts in Teaching. One drawback of having your master’s before you are tenured is that it tempts the school to let go of you and secure a contract with a young, Bachelor’s degree holding teacher who will cost less. If you wait until after you are tenured, the school cannot let you go because you decided to advance your education level. If you would like to research types of M.Ed. programs that you can take and schools that offer them, it is time to seek out accredited programs. Once you know that you do not need a Master in Education degree to qualify for tenure, start focusing on teaching first and then focus on graduate programs."

"question": "Why choose shutters?",
"answer": "Shutters bring style & sophistication to any window & are equally at home in both traditional & modern interiors. They last longer than curtains, as fabrics begin to break down as soon as they are exposed to sunlight, require periodic washing & harbour dust mites. Shutters offer a level of light control unmatched by any blind, as the louvres within each panel can be independently adjusted to temper the degree of light entering the room. If the sun is in your eye, you can simply close the louvres on one panel & let the light flood into the room though the others. On dark days, the panels can be folded back to expose the window & maximise the light. 2."

"question": "Why choose Made for Shade?",
"answer": "We're the Midlands' longest established, most trusted shutter company & have been fitting shutters since 1999, so we know shutters inside out. Experience has taught us that clients generally want three things - the best product, at the best price, with the best service. (John Ruskin famously said that this combination was not achievable & that one of the three had to give - We prove otherwise!). Additionally, for your added peace of mind, we're full members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen (membership number A121256) - your guarantee of a top-quality product & installation. 3."
},
{
"question": "How does the quality of your shutters compare to that of your competitors?",
"answer": "Our shutters are manufactured by the world-leader in shutter production, utilising a combination of state of the art manufacturing & hand-crafted finishing touches. The wood used for our hardwood shutters is stored for six months before kiln drying to allow the wood to settle before being treated. UNLIKE the majority of shutter manufacturers our wood is kiln dried twice in a computer controlled drying facility. The wood is specifically dried to take into account the climate of the country to which the shutters will be exported. This is very important as these shutters are manufactured for installation in climates as varied as Alaska & Australia. By utilising these methods, frame warping is greatly reduced. UNLIKE many other manufacturers we engineer our stiles (the vertical, side bars of the shutter panels), rather than producing these as solid profiles. We cut the wood into strips which are then bonded back together in opposing layers for greater strength. This has the effect of breaking the capillaries that run through the wood, through which moisture travels. This, together with the strength of the bonding agent, ensures our panels are unlikely to warp & will give customers years of enjoyment. UNLIKE many other manufacturers we use mortise & tenon joints between the cross rails and the side stiles. These are far stronger than dowel joints & minimise movement between profiles. Movement can result in cracking of the paint or stain finish, which will spoil the aesthetic appearance of the shutters. Again, just in case there is some movement, we engineer the panels with an additional grooved overlap that ensures any movement is handled by this expansion joint. UNLIKE many other manufacturers, we use a high quality, proprietary paint system developed specifically for our shutters. Cheaper shutters use cheaper paints & stains and have fewer coats. We apply six coats of paint or stain, the final layer of which is a clear lacquer with a UV additive to ensure that the shutters are less susceptible to fading and yellowing. UNLIKE other manufacturers we don't compromise on the thickness of our louvres as we believe thinner louvres, although less costly to produce, are much more susceptible to warping. UNLIKE other manufacturers, we use the best quality, marine-grade stainless steel staples to attach our tilt rods to our shutters. In addition, the tips of the staples are coated in a bonding agent to make sure they remain secure for years to come. UNLIKE many other manufacturers, we supply our shutters with a large choice of frames rather than attaching them to battens. Not only does this give you the choice of framing your window by selecting a frame design to co-ordinate with your decor, but it also offers a practical solution for awkward windows (inward opening, etc). UNLIKE many other manufacturers, we assemble our shutters prior to shipping to ensure that all the components fit together perfectly. Once photographed, the shutters are disassembled & packed into custom made packaging to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. When shipping by airfreight, we double pack the shutters for additional security. All this means we are able to provide a three-year warranty on all shutters built within our published specifications."

"question": "Which areas do you cover?",
"answer": "We're based in Sutton Coldfield & cover the West Midlands, East Midlands, Staffordshire, Warwickshire & Herefordshire regions. We also cover the 'M1 corridor' (the area between the M1 & the M40 between London & Birmingham). 5."
},
{
"question": "Do you actually make the shutters?",
"answer": "Like 99% of UK shutter companies, the answer is 'no'. Made for Shade is the Midlands agent for our manufacturer S:Craft (based near Winchester), who are the shutter market leaders in terms of quality, choice & product innovation. Our expertise is in designing, surveying, specifying & installing shutters, not making them. This enables us to offer a far greater choice of materials, colours, louvre widths & framing options & guarantees clients a constant timeframe from ordering to installation. That said, we have joinery workshop facilities for customising special shutters & have been regular visitors to the factory where the shutters are manufactured. This means we can talk in detail about the production process & answer any questions you may have."
},
{
"question": "6. Who will measure & fit my shutters?",
"answer": "Made for Shade is a family business & as such, we don't employ sales people or believe in pressure selling. We operate a he / she who surveys also fits policy whenever possible, to maintain continuity throughout the order process. Acurate dimensions will be taken at the time of the design consultation to save disturbing you further. Our aim is to make the process of buying shutters a pleasure from start to finish & our testimonials certainly bare this out as you may have already seen. 7."
},
{
"question": "How long do I have to wait?",
"answer": "Standard delivery time is between six & eight weeks. Special shapes take an additional two weeks, as CAD drawings need to be created & signed off before manufacture can commence. Custom coloured shutters also take an additional two weeks. However, if you need your shutters fitted sooner, we also offer an express service, which reduces the waiting time to between three & four weeks, but naturally costs a little more. 8."
},
{
"question": "How long do they take to fit?",
"answer": "This really depends upon the size & quantity of the shutters & what they're being fitted to (wooden window frames are quicker to fit to than plastered reveals), however most jobs are completed within half a day. Naturally, we can give you an accurate time frame before you place your order. 9."
},
{
"question": "How are they fitted?",
"answer": "All Made for Shade shutters are fitted using a three-sided or four-sided perimeter frame, from which the panels are then hinged. Frames can be fitted inside the recess, outside the recess or around the front edge of the recess, depending on how & where you want your panels to fold when open. Needless to say, there are different frame profiles for every eventuality. (The latter option is perfect for uneven recesses, as the run-out is hidden behind the frame moulding). Whichever framing option you choose, all screw-heads will be either hidden with insert strips or cap covers & in the case of stained finishes, screws will be fitted using brass or silver mounting cups. For wider installations such as patio doors & room dividers, tracking systems are used as they give constant support to the panels as they move. All panels are fitted within their frames using hinges with removable pins, which are perfect when it comes to decorating, as the panels can be simply removed & re-fitted in a matter of minutes. 10."
},
{
"question": "How & when do I pay?",
"answer": "Payment is made in two parts, 50% when the order is placed & the remaining 50% on completion of installation. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, debit card or credit card (all major cards accepted). 11."
},
{
"question": "What are shutters made from?",
"answer": "Made for Shade offer seven different shutter materials. The most economical option is Craftwood, which is a Polymer coated MDF product available in the six best selling white / cream shades & comes in a choice of four louvre widths. It's perfect for small to average sized installations & looked just like a wooden, painted shutter when fitted. We then have a variety of real timbers including Larchwood, Basswood & Cedarwood, each of which have their own unique grain patterns & characteristics. Using lighter weight timbers allows us to hinge more panels together to achieve greater widths with a single, conventional bi-folding shutter. Real timbers can have painted or stained finishes, but our Western Red Cedarwood can also be oiled to give it a beautifully natural finish, which brings out the individually different grain structure in each profile to give a truly rustic charm. 12."
},
{
"question": "How much light do they cut out?",
"answer": "There are no technical figures to quote here but we estimate that a shutter will cut out 90 - 95% of incoming light. Whilst there are no gaps to let in direct light, there will always be light glow around the edges of the panels, between the louvres & between the louvre edges where they meet the stile uprights. If actual blackout is required for bedrooms, we have the perfect solution whereby a cellular pleated blackout blind is built into the shutter frame & positioned behind the panels. The blind is raised / lowered by a simple cord mechanism & cannot be seen through the panels. The blinds are available in several, equally effective colours, the most popular being white. 13."
},
{
"question": "Can they be fitted to any window?",
"answer": "It's a rare day when we come across a window to which we can't fit shutters, but \"never say never\" as the saying goes. We need to ensure that the shutter will not inhibit the opening operation of the window & that we have suitably substantial fixing points to bare the weight, but this is all taken care of during the survey. 14."
},
{
"question": "What if my window is out of square?",
"answer": "This is usually no problem as most windows vary in width & height across the window. If you want your shutters fitted inside the recess, the tolerance gap between the outside edge of the shutter frame & the recess itself, will usually be filled with decorating caulk as this can be painted to match the walls or window frame when dry. It takes approximately half an hour to caulk an average sizes shutter to a high standard, but makes all the difference in the world to the final result. If the window it drastically out of square, we would fill the gaps by scribing insert strips (finished in the same colour as the shutters) to the desired shape & then caulking around them as described earlier. Alternatively, we have framing options which can either be surface mounted outside the recess or fitted to the front edge of the recess with a lip feature that disguises / hides the recess variance. It's simply a case of using the right frame for the right job, which is where our expertise comes into play. 15."
},
{
"question": "What about shaped windows?",
"answer": "No problem. We design & fit round shutters, arched shutters & angled shutters in various materials with either painted or stained finishes. The great thing about shaped shutters is that unlike blinds or curtains, they maintain the true shape of the window rather than \"squaring it off\" & the panels will still hinge open to give access to the window. 16."
},
{
"question": "What about high-level windows?",
"answer": "If shutters are fitted to an out-of-reach window, the tilting of the louvers can be done by remote control (both battery & solar powered units are available). Alternatively, if the shutter is simply to dress the window, the louvers can be simply set in the desired position & left. 17."
},
{
"question": "How do I clean them?",
"answer": "The easiest way is with either a feather duster or using a vacuum upholstery brush (the one with the bristles on). Marks can be removed using a damp cloth with, if necessary, a suitable soap solution. 18."
},
{
"question": "What if they get damaged?",
"answer": "We offer a full repair service whereby, for example, damaged louvers can simply be removed & replaced with new ones. 19."
},
{
"question": "Does fitting make a mess?",
"answer": "This depends on what we're fitting to as drilling into plaster / brick creates dust which drilling into wood doesn't. Whatever the case, we will always dust sheet the fitting area first & clean up thoroughly when we've finished. Installers also wear slippers in carpeted rooms. We are always mindful that we are in your home. We therefore treat your home as we would our own, with respect. 20."
},
{
"question": "What's the most popular colour?",
"answer": "About 75% of our orders are for a white painted finished & there are good reasons for this. (1) White reflects light in a way no other colour will. This means light within the room is maximised as it reflects off the louvres (tip ~ using the medium 64mm or larger 89mm wide louvres also creates more light as the gaps between each louvre increase with louvre size & larger louvre surfaces reflect more light. Food for thought if you have a North facing room with a big tree outside!) (2) White never dates & always looks fresh. (3) White offers endless colour possibilities when it's time to decorate, as white will work with any colour. (4) White will always be relevant as there will always be something else white in the room (window frames, doors, radiators, coving, ceilings, etc). (5) Shutters are an investment in your home & will appeal to prospective, aspirational home buyers if you decide to move on. Buyers can always visualise working their design schemes around white shutters, as it gives them an open book decoratively speaking in addition to the wow factor. 21."
},
{
"question": "Are they guaranteed?",
"answer": "Absolutely! All Made for Shade shutters are guarantee for a minimum of 3 years. This includes all aspect of the shutters (colour fastness & joinery) as well as the installation itself. 22."
},
{
"question": "Are they suitable for bathrooms & swimming pool areas?",
"answer": "This really depends on the level of moisture within the air. In a large, well-ventilated bathroom with no shower, a conventional painted or stain finished shutter will be fine. However, in high moisture rooms such as shower rooms, wet-rooms & swimming pools, we have a purpose made waterproof product called Permawood, which an ABS coated hardwood. Permawood shutters are fitted with marine-grade stainless steel hinges to resist moisture & prevent rusting. 23."
},
{
"question": "How do I measure?",
"answer": "To obtain an initial estimate, firstly decide whether you want your shutters to be fitted inside of outside the recess. Remember if they're fitted inside the recess, the panels will only fold back as far as the recess returns will allow (usually 90 degrees). If they're fitted outside the recess, the panels will fold back onto the walls (provided there is sufficient space for them to do so of course). For inside recess shutters, measure the width & drop in 3 places & tell us the largest dimension in each case. For outside recess shutters, take the same measurements & add 150mm to the recess width to allow for the overlap. If your window has a sill, add 75mm to the recess height or 150mm if it doesn't have a sill, to allow for the overlap. If you're looking to buy Café Style shutters (to cover the lower part of the window only), take the width dimension in the same way, but then measure from the sill up to where you'd like the top of the shutters to be. For inside recess shutters or outside recess shutters where the window has a sill, that's the height you need to give. For outside recess, Café Style shutters where the window has no sill, add 75mm to the recorded height. Naturally, we will take accurate dimensions at the point of survey but following this procedure will ensure there are no nasty surprises price-wise! 24."
},
{
"question": "What are \"Solid\" shutters?",
"answer": "These are simply shutters, which have solid panels rather than louvred panels. They were originally fitted into period homes, folding back into purpose made side-recesses when the owners were in residence. When the owners were overseas, the shutters were closed for privacy & security as part of the \"closing up\" of the house. These days, we tend to only install solid shutters when either a greater degree of darkness is required or when replacing original solid shutters in period properties. Naturally, the amount of light entering the room can't be adjusted in the way it can with louvred shutters. 25."
},
{
"question": "Can I measure & fit my own shutters?",
"answer": "Yes. We can measure & fit your shutters for you, we can measure but you can fit or you can measure & fit yourself. It really comes down to the complexity of the particular job & the surface to which the shutters will be fixed. If you're self-measuring, we suggest you e-mail a photograph of the window prior to finalising your order so we can try to spot any potential problems & help you overcome them. 26."
},
{
"question": "Do operate a 'price promise' pledge?",
"answer": "Whilst our aim is to provide shutters at the most competitive price & we constantly monitor the market to check price levels, there may be times when, due to a limited or special promotion, a competitor's price is lower. In such an eventuality, we guarantee to price match any like-for-like, written quotation. If you have a question other than those above, please either call us on 0121-352-0747 or e-mail it to us via our contact page & we'll answer your question by return."

"question": "What are the \"must dos\" for data controllers?",
"answer": "v) held securely - which includes keeping it safe so that unauthorised individuals can't access it, and not disclosing it to anyone, - including other parents. To comply with the GDPR by 25 May 2018 you will have to demonstrate more, for example that you have data protection policies and procedures in place; keep evidence of parents' consent to use their details; and ensure you have appropriate procedures for new elements such as the right to be forgotten; subject access rights; data portability; data breach notification within 72 hours and many other elements. Classlist's system is designed to help you comply with all of the above."
},
{
"question": "Does the PTA need a Data Protection Officer?",
"answer": "- carry out large scale processing of special categories of data or data relating to criminal convictions and offences. A PTA doesn’t perform either of these activities at either small or large scale so you are not required to have a DPO. That really would be spoiling the party. OK. Here you go. A one page summary with everything you need."
},
{
"question": "What happens if there isn't a separate PTA, or the PTA organisation has been merged into the school?",
"answer": "Some schools are re-integrating their PTAs into the school organisation. In this case the school will be the data controller and PTA officials are treated in the same way a as school staff."
},
{
"question": "What's the difference between a Data Controller and a Data Processor?",
"answer": "The difference between these two roles is critical but not always obvious. According to the Information Commissioner's Office, a \"data controller\" means … a person who (either alone or jointly or in common with other persons) determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data are, or are to be, processed. A \"data processor\", in relation to personal data, means any person (other than an employee of the data controller) who processes the data on behalf of the data controller."
},
{
"question": "What's the difference between a Classlist Member and Non Member?",
"answer": "A Classlist Member has completed the registration procedure, and the personal details they chose to share are visible to other users. They are a full member of the site and can access all its functionality. A Classlist Non Member will have been invited by email to join the site but has not registered. No information on them will be available to other users with the exception of site administrators. A Non Member who has been regularly and recently receiving a emails or similar communications from the PTA or school relating to the parent community will continue to be included in these communications through the Classlist email system. They have the option of unsubscribing at any point."
},
{
"question": "What information can the school lawfully supply to the PTA?",
"answer": "Where you set up a Classlist site your PTA is acting as a \"Data Controller\". The school is already a \"Data Controller\" because it manages lots of information about pupils and parents. In general, no personal data can be transferred between data controllers without a good legal justification, which sometimes requires specific consent from each parent. Classlist has obtained a legal Opinion from VWV, one of the top five legal firms working with UK schools, on this area. This confirms that as long as your PTA is following the practices and procedures set out by Classlist, the school can lawfully help you to verify and update information which you have collected through the Classlist system. This can include parent names, child names, child class details, and parent email details. The school may for example help you check applicants against a master list of parents. Or provide you with class lists at the end of each year or term so you can update your records and ensure each pupil is allocated to the correct class. Please bear in mind that you aren't permitted to use this data for any other purpose than to validate new applicants and make updates to your database. A draft letter to the school from PTAs launching Classlist is here and a draft letter for PTAs which currently operate Classlist is here. Where the school is providing you with any personal data about parents or their families, these must be transmitted using a secure, encrypted and private mechanism and you must have arrangements in place to manage this information on a completely confidential basis."
},
{
"question": "What can I send to explain everything?",
"answer": "The Classlist website has lots of material describing how the app works and the benefits to schools and parents. Regarding data protection specifics, the school is already a Data Controller and will be working with you as another Data Controller. They have all the data needed to enable you validate new applicants, and should be keen to help as this ensures a well functioning trusted parent community. They can also assist with allocation of members to new classes at the beginning of each academic year which can otherwise become very time consuming. A draft letter to the school from PTAs launching Classlist is here and a draft letter for PTAs which currently operate Classlist is here."
},
{
"question": "What's in it for them?",
"answer": "The school is likely to see some advantages in Classlist and may have some concerns. The advantages are typically around cost - a reduction in school office admin time; and around parent engagement - which is a new OFSTED metric - recent studies show that stronger parent communities can really improve student outcomes. They may also see benefits around safeguarding where parents can help each other with supervision and information both for junior and teenage years. A few school heads are concerned that Classlist will be used for complaining and tittle tattle. This would be contrary to our user guidelines and has proved extremely rare. What is far more common is parents using Facebook or WhatsApp to complain, where content can be difficult to moderate or remove. Heads often tell us they prefer Classlist for exactly this reason. Finally, where parents, school or PTA bring in local sponsors to support Classlist, 50% of the revenue goes back to the school which is always very welcome."
},
{
"question": "What happens if my school doesn't agree to help, or can't do anything quite yet?",
"answer": "If the school is too busy or doesn't have capacity to help right now, this is far from a show stopper. It certainly helps if the school head sends an announcement to parents encouraging them to join. However many PTAs using Classlist around the country have relied on their own resources to develop invite lists; get the word out, and get Classlist sites up and running. You don't have to wait for the school to be ready."
},
{
"question": "Is it better to have the school as Data Controller?",
"answer": "The choice of data controller needs to reflect the reality of who is administering the site. This organisation will have more privileges and can use it for more things. If you have an active PTA with lots of Class Reps, events and announcements then we generally recommend the PTA takes the lead. If the PTA doesn't communicate extensively with parents or has limited resources and the school is either very active in promoting the parent community, or wants to enable parents contact each other, it is fine for the school to lead. You do need to make it clear to parents who manages the site. If this changes later, you can always ask parents to reconfirm they are happy with new arrangements. Some schools prefer to be data controllers. This does make it easier for them to issue invitations and to build a very inclusive community. Where the school runs the site the PTA does not have an official role, although PTA members can send invitations and messages just as other members can. PTA officials can assist with some site administration tasks if the school has limited resources, but they must be careful not to use personal data or other information they obtain in this capacity for other PTA purposes. Classlist's Terms and Conditions explain this in more detail."
},
{
"question": "Do we need to review our insurance?",
"answer": "Any organisation dealing with personal data will have additional responsibilities and liabilities from May 2018. This even applies if you simply circulate a spreadsheet of names. Working with Classlist means you have taken a big step to manage and reduce any potential liabilities, because our processes have gone through a legal audit and have a lot of data protection safeguards built in. - Through establishing a relationship with Classlist as your Data Processor you immediately become compliant in terms of using a legally validated, properly structured approach to data management. Classlist also becomes responsible for the technical and cybersecurity aspects of where personal data goes; who is authorised to access to it, and how it is protected from attack. - Regarding insurance, should there be a data breach where Classlist's systems are at fault, we are fully insured for public liability, professional indemnity and also have specific cover for cyber insurance. PTAs generally hold insurance policies designed to cover public and personal liability for the Association and its officers. You are advised to check your coverage to ensure all relevant contingencies are covered. - In choosing to work with Classlist, you have selected the market leader in this area. Classlist brings experience from working with over 1,800 schools across the UK. We have also invested heavily to obtain the best possible legal advice to ensure our procedures comply with current and anticipated legal requirements. You will therefore be seen to have acted in a prudent and conservative manner in selecting your supplier. Naturally Classlist cannot be held responsible for data breaches where the PTA is at fault. However through using Classlist's purpose-built system, which is designed entirely around security, privacy and meeting PTA requirements, we believe that the likelihood of personal data going astray is significantly reduced."
},
{
"question": "What liability does my school take?",
"answer": "Classlist's agreement to act as Data Processor for the PTA or school means that we take prime liability for any breakdown in our systems or processes. As you would expect, the school does still have liability for negligence on their part, and should have insurance in place to cover this."
},
{
"question": "How real is the risk of a fine?",
"answer": "To date we aren't aware of any school or body associated with a school being prosecuted or fined for anything related to data protection. But nobody knows how the courts will enforce new regulations, and there is likely to be a period of adjustment as things bed down. New legislation introduces a new set of penalties – the greater of 4% of turnover or €20 million. Under existing legislation ICO has handed out five and six figure fines not just to big corporates, but to well respected charities, who had systematically deployed fund-raising practices which weren't legal, or who failed to act appropriately after a data breach. Perhaps equally important is the reputational damage to the school and organisations associated with it if practices are found wanting in material respects. In assessing what corrective action to take ICO will typically look at the overall data safeguarding processes followed by an organisation as well as the detail of any particular incident. This is where working with Classlist can really help. You have taken a big step forward in electing to work with a company which has gone the extra mile in not only seeking legal advice but obtaining a legal Opinion setting out how our practices are compliant."

"question": "How are responsibilities shared between a lender and CODE?",
"answer": "However you like. We have some lenders who simply want us to identify potential borrowers and compile initial information and others who rely on us to undertake due diligence, issue documentation and monitor borrowers for the lifetime of the loan. We shall be delighted to accommodate your requirements."
},
{
"question": "Will CODE spread deals thinly across its lending panel?",
"answer": "No. We use our lenders’ own preferences to determine the best fit for each deal. A targeted panel referral is in everyone’s best interests."
},
{
"question": "How does CODE decide which lender to place a potential transaction with?",
"answer": "We use the lender’s own criteria to select a matching borrowing request. If there is more than one lender that could potentially provide finance to a borrower we will pass on all the offers to the borrower and let them decide. CODE does not give any sort of priority to one lender over another."
},
{
"question": "What type of lenders does CODE partner with?",
"answer": "CODE partners with any type of lender, irrespective of their target audience, lending criteria, or risk appetite."

{
"question": "How do I track my mileage with the GPS?",
"answer": "First, read the Improving GPS accuracy section in the How does GPS Tracking work help item. To start tracking, add or update a trip then scroll down to the Odometer section then tap the Start GPS Tracking button. Doing this will clear any existing odometer start, stop or distance entered manually. To stop tracking, tap the Stop GPS Tracking button or the Cancel button or the Save button. You will be given the option to continue from the last captured position by tapping the Add To Existing button or you can clear the previous tracking and start fresh by tapping the Reset Existing button. While the trip is being tracked by gps, it is automatically saved periodically, so you can edit any of the fields except the odometer start, stop or distance. But we recommend when you are done with tracking your trip mileage by gps that you tap the Save button to assure the latest trip information is saved. Also to ensure the best mileage tracking by gps, you should remain on the edit trip page in the app. This is not to say you cannot answer a call, check your email or start another app because Track My Mileage should continue to run in the background but depending on the settings on your device it may not and since the operating system may terminate the app when it is in the background, we recommend keeping Track My Mileage as the active app as much as possible.

{
"question": "5.2 How do these changes affect Education customers?",
"answer": "Autodesk has stopped selling perpetual licences of most products. The purchase of new licences is now available only by subscription. In addition, the option to crossgrade to any of the affected products was discontinued when we stopped selling new perpetual licences. Autodesk has introduced an intuitive new language that will drive clarity and simplicity in our subscription offerings. Essentially, we have done away with subscription branding in order to make it easier for you to choose and purchase the software solutions that best fit your business needs. Autodesk made this change in order to transition to subscription-based products, which offers customers a lower entry price, greater choice of tools and the ability to pay-as-you-go. With its shift away from selling perpetual rights to using a specific version of software, Autodesk plans to continually innovate and improve its products & services, more tightly integrate them with cloud services, allow access from multiple devices at any time*, make them easier to deploy and manage and reduce file compatibility issues. No, it doesn't. Existing perpetual licences are still valid. You retain your perpetual software licence and can continue to use it in accordance with your perpetual licence agreement. If the software product is covered by a maintenance plan, you will also continue to receive maintenance benefits. If you are currently on a maintenance plan, you will retain the option to renew your maintenance plans for the affected products and receive corresponding benefits for as long as you want. The end-of-sale of perpetual licences only impacts the ability to purchase new perpetual licences. Providing the time needed to assess options and make plans by providing as much advance notice of the changes to come as possible. Customers can continue to renew their maintenance plans for as long as they want and receive/access maintenance benefits. Autodesk Account will provide a single place to manage all of your products, subscriptions and services. Providing the ability to lock in your subscription rate with the option of multi-year term lengths. Separately purchased cloud-based offerings, such as BIM 360, PLM 360 and Fusion 360, are not impacted. Cloud services that are included as a benefit of your maintenance plan or subscription will continue to be included in those offerings."
},
{
"question": "1.9 Will I be able to purchase a network activation for an existing perpetual licences now that Autodesk is no longer selling perpetual licences?",
"answer": "No. You will no longer be able to convert a stand-alone perpetual licence to a shared network licence for any perpetual licences that are no longer being sold. If you need new or additional shared network licences, you can purchase a subscription with multi-user access. This can be done for individual products or a collection of products. Desktop software applications on subscription, as well as associated user data, continue to be stored on your local machine. Cloud service applications are run from the cloud; where you store your data, on the cloud or your local machine, is up to you. Autodesk offers the following options, allowing you to choose which best fits your needs. If you have an active subscription, you may have access to preceding version licences of eligible Autodesk software. For more details, please reference Autodesk Subscription Preceding Version Rights Eligibility on the Autodesk Knowledge Network. For details on availability, please contact your Authorised Autodesk Reseller or Autodesk Sales Representative. A maintenance plan ensures a perpetual licence holder receives benefits such as access to the latest software and product enhancements, technical support and in some cases, access to select cloud services while they keep their plan current. A maintenance plan agreement must be applied to a separately purchased perpetual licence. If you currently have a maintenance plan, you will continue enjoying the benefits of maintenance as long as you continue to renew. For the products listed in Question 1.2 above, it is important to renew your maintenance plan on time to continue to access the benefits. If the maintenance plan for your perpetual product is not renewed on time, you will then have to subscribe to the product if you would like to get the latest features and benefits. While Autodesk discontinued the sale of new perpetual licences, we are not eliminating maintenance plans. If you are currently on maintenance, you may continue to renew that plan for as long as you want. No. Additional perpetual licences may not be added to an existing maintenance plan. If your maintenance plan expires, you can continue using your perpetual licences. However, you will lose maintenance benefits such as updates, technical product support, flexible licence rights and access to select cloud services. If a maintenance plan is not renewed, you will be able to get the latest features and functionality by subscribing to a product. Customers who currently have an Enterprise Business Agreement with Autodesk for the Enterprise Flex, Multi-Flex or Token Flex offerings see no immediate change to the terms or benefits of their agreements. Customers with an Enterprise Business Agreement that includes perpetual rights to their software may exercise their rights to receive those perpetual licences at the end of their agreement or they may choose to renew those perpetual licences under a maintenance plan at that time. Customers with an active Enterprise Business Agreement prior to 31 July 2016 should refer to the terms of their agreement to determine access to additional perpetual licences. Yes. Autodesk Multi-Flex and Autodesk Enterprise Token Flex licensing models continue to be available for purchase for customers considering a new Enterprise Business Agreement. Customers with an Enterprise Business Agreement should speak directly with their Autodesk Account Executive for more information. For customers without Internet connectivity, we recommend considering a subscription with multi-user access, which allows them to use software without being connected to the Internet."

{
"question": "Rosedale Auto Service is sometimes asked by our customers in the Baltimore area \"what is a serpentine belt\"?",
"answer": "When asked, one of the skilled auto mechanics on the Rosedale Auto Service team will tell our customers that were they to take a look at the underside of their vehicle they would either notice a single belt woven through several pulleys or a system of belts connected to pulleys in front of the vehicle's engine. When only one belt is present, that belt would a serpentine belt. The serpentine belt is distinguished from other belts in that it is one continuous belt that connects itself to multiple devices. On older model vehicles, multiple belts were employed to drive the various engine compartment devices. But after the serpentine belt was developed in 1979, the majority of, if not all, vehicle manufacturers began using serpentine belts due to their ease of use and overall efficiency. One of the primary benefits of using a serpentine belt is that in older model vehicles, components such the alternator, air and power steering pumps were all connected to belt systems and if one belt broke a vehicle's owner might not be aware of losing operation of one component. Alternatively with a serpentine belt all the pulleys of the various components are connected meaning a driver will know quickly if the serpentine belt breaks because ALL the components, to include power steering, will suffer immediately or completely shut down. If you live in the greater Baltimore area and are having a problem with your serpentine belt and want the advice of a qualified and skilled auto repair specialist please contact Rosedale Auto Service!"

"question": "How can you buy better than us?",
"answer": "Because we aggregate. By adding your volume to ours we get better prices (economy of scale). So far we have a 100% success record, but if we can’t then our service doesn’t cost you a penny."
},
{
"question": "How much work is involved for me in the change-over?",
"answer": "Very little. We copy any invoices, ascertain the status of existing contracts and suggest cost savings. If we suggest a change of supplier we fill in the account application forms and get your account pre-cleared where possible. We then provide a full report which enables you to see all the necessary figures and make a decision."
},
{
"question": "What if I’m in contract with a supplier?",
"answer": "We ensure that you serve notice in a timely manner and diarise when the contract terminates so that we can review the costs ahead of that time. We are happy with our existing suppliers. We are not about changing suppliers; but we always look at removing any unnecessary overheads."
},
{
"question": "When do I pay for the savings?",
"answer": "If you accept our pricing suggestions, savings are paid for quarterly in arrears. They are therefore both profit & loss and cash positive. In our Dec 2013 Client Survey 100% of respondents said we provide value for money with 85% rating us as excellent or very good in terms of the overall value for money we deliver. We only want you to look at one area and it won’t be worth your while. We’re happy to make the call on that. Give us the opportunity and let us decide. From your side it lays down the timelines for us to provide information and states that the products and/or services that we quote for will at least match those you currently enjoy. From our side it merely confirms your commitment to pay us for the work done and information provided. It therefore protects the interests of both parties."
},
{
"question": "What if I’m not happy with the supplier you recommend?",
"answer": "You don’t have to use our suppliers. If you wish you can use our information to negotiate directly with your existing suppliers, or simply not go ahead and receive cost savings. We have a lovely local supplier who we would like to support if they are competitive. No problem, tell us whether or not you wish us to contact current or specific suppliers and we’ll act accordingly. Be aware though of how you may react if someone acting on behalf of your biggest customer contacted you and said that the business was up for competitive tender and that you needed to sharpen your pencil or run the risk of losing the business. We use best practise and only give suppliers one chance to quote. We are in regular contact with key suppliers in each of the markets in which we operate in order to maintain our price competitiveness. Our systems are constantly refined to ensure that we are aware of market prices, and your prices reflect this. We contact at least three suppliers with any requirement, and are always on the look out for new suppliers."
},
{
"question": "What happens if prices change after you negotiate?",
"answer": "Some markets rise and some fall – it’s our business to know which are which. If they are rising markets we will protect you against price increases by suggesting that you enter into a contract, e.g. gas and electricity at present. If they are dropping markets we will not tie you in to long term contracts and will pass on all price decreases during the period of our agreement."
},
{
"question": "How do you collect your information?",
"answer": "We need copy invoices which we will gladly copy on your premises. In addition we will need any passwords or other access information that you have in place on accounts, typically mobile and landline ‘phone accounts’. We’ll have the information about how you can receive savings on your desk within 10 days of receiving the copy invoices – as long as your diary permits!! Savings can be on your bottom line within 1 month of you signing our agreement. Our business is unique; a “standard” service will not help us. All of our clients are unique. If we are unable to save you money it won’t cost you anything BUT if we can save you money…. Have you ever looked at…. The skills in our business are in identifying suppliers and negotiating the right outcome. We have deep knowledge in a wide variety of specific markets and, as always, if you give us the challenge and we can’t save you money it won’t cost you anything."

{
"question": "How will I know if something is contained within the product?",
"answer": "Wherever we can we make sure to use all natural ingredients in our products. This means no artificial preservatives to lengthen the shelf life of your candy and therefore a more natural product for your body. Although we employ careful sanitation procedures in our cooking process it is important that you know that there is a chance of allergens being introduced into your product so please be cautious if you have a severe allergy. For example we make the peanut butter filled taffy on the same machine as all the rest of the taffy and there is no way to ensure that we have safely eliminated 100% of the peanut contamination before starting the next batch. If you have a specific allergy concern please feel free to email us with questions."
},
{
"question": "What is the best way to store my Caramel Corn?",
"answer": "The enemy to freshness here is air and heat. We ship it in a plastic bag to ensure the least amount of air gets to the product. If you would like to keep it longer than a week (after you receive it) you will want to get as much air out of the bag as possible and store it either in Tupperware, or a ziplock bag for maximum freshness."
},
{
"question": "What is the best way to store my Fudge?",
"answer": "Fudge will stay fresh for approximately ten days if properly wrapped in plastic wrap or Tupperware. Refrigerating your fudge will dry it out so try to keep it at room temperature. If you would like to keep your fudge for longer than ten days you will need to properly protect it by wrapping it in plastic wrap and then slipping it into a freezer safe bag to store in the freezer. It will keep well in the freezer for up to three months."

"question": "Do you partner for fundraising?",
"answer": "Actually we do. We have several different programs to help you raise money for your cause.

"question": "I have a friend who wants to join us, can we just let him share our room?",
"answer": "Unfortunately, no. We are an ‘all inclusive’ Resort with many amenities, and allowing a friend to stay for free puts a strain on our resources. We have included an option to allow others to share your room for a reasonable fee, so do let us know before arriving. If you have already checked in and someone wishes to join you, inquire with us: perhaps we have a room or cabin available for them as well. As we continue to field various questions we will expand this list to include those items we hear more frequently. In the interim, should you have any questions or issues, please feel free to contact us. Yes, we provide WiFi free of charge to our guests, and it typically reaches all rooms and cabins as well as the Lounge. Actually, no. We prefer to keep things as natural as possible, and we find that most guests are only in their room to sleep at night. For those guests who would prefer AC, we have portable units for rent at a nominal, nightly fee."
},
{
"question": "Besides the obvious, is there anything special we should pack?",
"answer": "camera – the view and wildlife are extraordinary! As many of our guests favor a non-smoking holiday environment, we have introduced ‘smoking areas’ around the Resort. Please step away from others, and no smoking in any building (rooms, cabins, Lounge, Dome or under any gazebo, including in the hot tub, as per Ontario law). As well, please move away from doors and windows, as smoke can and will blow inside. Please help us to keep our Resort clean and natural: Use ashtrays and cans that are provided throughout the Resort for cigarette butts. If it is evident that there was smoking in a room (including bathrooms) a $250 recovery fee to cover the cost of restoring the room to a smoke free condition will be levied. We have an ATV/motor boat."

{
"question": "Can we bring it with us?",
"answer": "Sure, feel free to bring along your trailered leisure craft, but please respect the natural beauty that is Footprints. No motorized boats (including JetSkis) on our small lake, nor ATV’s on our property. There are plenty of larger lakes that can accommodate your boat, and trails to ride on. Check out our links to ATV clubs. We are not a campground, but provide limited space for tents and small campers for those who prefer this option. There is one area that can accommodate several tents under dappled shade at one end of the property. BBQ’s and picnic tables are available, and shared washroom is a short walk away. The second tent area is a flat, grassy area behind the room block, closer to the shared washrooms/showers. No vehicles allowed in this area. RV’s and trailers will be parked next to The Dome, and hydro can be provided if needed but to reduce the strain on the system, use your own energy source if possible (propane, solar, etc). No water/dumping. Dump station is up the road."
},
{
"question": "How close is the closest store?",
"answer": "Bancroft is a scenic 12 minute drive from the Resort, and has everything you could need: grocery stores, liquor and beer stores, restaurants (fast food, family/pub style and fine dining), pharmacy, police station, retail shopping, banks and even a hospital. No, we are a ‘self catering’ waterfront resort, which means bring your food with you and use our BBQ’s and kitchen to prepare your own meals. There are numerous restaurants, as well as grocery stores and liquor/beer stores in Bancroft, just minutes away if you’ve forgotten anything. Sorry, but no, Footprints is an Adults Only, 21+ resort and reserved for adults. Sorry, but no, pets of any kind are not permitted. Regretfully but Firmly."

You will be met there by your Host who will check you in, give you a tour and get you settled into your room. Check Out: By 11am on day of departure. Late departure may be available, check with staff 24 hrs before. 24 Hr Check In is available: Let us know in advance."

},
{
"question": "12) What’s the difference between designated and undesignated gifts?",
"answer": "We support any form of donation because we want to encourage a community of philanthropists. A designated gift restricts your gift to a specific 501(c)3 organization. An undesignated gift takes advantage of United Way’s thorough, research-based program selection that gets the money to the issues and areas that need it most. This allows you to help the most people and do the most good for our entire community. Because a designated dollar can only be spent on that particular agency, it decreases the total available for United Way to strategically invest, thus decreasing the total allocations to all agencies. 13) I want to request funding for my agency or project. We have a meticulous process that doesn’t happen overnight. Please click here to check out the requirements. 14) I need financial assistance."

{
"question": "Who is at fault?",
"answer": "When you have been in a motorcycle accident in South Carolina where a car makes a left turn in front of you, the other driver is almost always liable for the accident and your injuries. Before making any assumptions on who is at fault for your motorcycle accident in South Carolina, you should consult with a Charleston motorcycle accident attorney. There are many circumstances to consider when you are involved in a motorcycle accident in South Carolina and trying to determine who is at fault. One of the few exceptions to the near-automatic rule that a left turning car is at fault in a motorcycle accident in South Carolina is when you are found to have violated a traffic law. If you were found to have been speeding or disobeying a traffic signal, you may be found to be at fault for part of the accident as well. When you need to prove who was at fault in a motorcycle accident in South Carolina, your claim will benefit greatly from the help of Charleston motorcycle accident attorney. This is because in most scenarios, insurance adjusters will determine fault for the accident. Depending on how much at fault insurance adjusters find you to be, your potential compensation could be impacted accordingly. This is not a situation in which you want to fend for yourself. A Charleston motorcycle accident attorney can speak up on your behalf after a left turn accident and can handle each and every stage of your claim while you focus on recovery. The Charleston personal injury attorney team at the Shelly Leeke Law Firm is available to help accident victims cope with the legal implications of a serious injury. Our firm’s focus on personal injury cases includes injury from auto accidents including pedestrian and bicycle injuries, work-related injuries and Workers’ Compensation claims, and injuries resulting from dangerous prescription drugs.

{
"question": "What is bacon fat?",
"answer": "Believe it or not, there are several types of fat you can get from just one pig (pigs being the most multipurpose animals ever). “Lard” is the general term for rendered pork fat; depending on what part of the pig the fat came from, it can be either back fat/fatback (from the back/shoulder/rump of the pig), leaf lard (from around the kidneys), caul fat (from around the intestines), or belly fat (from the belly). Bacon fat is from the belly. 2."
},
{
"question": "What is the difference between bacon fat and lard?",
"answer": "Bacon fat is a type of lard. That said, the product you can buy labeled “lard” and the bacon fat you can make are not the same thing; bacon fat will have a smokier flavor than lard, which should have a purely neutral flavor. 3."
},
{
"question": "Shouldn’t I be using olive oil, or at least butter?",
"answer": "Well, I’ve now read a fairly detailed description of the components of pork fat (approximately 39% saturated fat, 45% monounsaturated fat, and 11% polyunsaturated fat, for those of you who that means anything to), and while I still understand little of it, I’m convinced that pork fat is okay for me. I think this mostly has to do with the fact that bacon fat is not trans fat, which as we all know, has been declared America’s #1 Enemy (orange alert level). 4."
},
{
"question": "How do I render bacon fat?",
"answer": "Now we get into the meat of it (ha, ha). According to Meriam-Webster, “to render” simply means “to extract by melting”; ie you are extracting the bacon fat by heating up (melting) the bacon. So cook yourself up some bacon! The fat it’s swimming in by the end is the rendered bacon fat. Remove the bacon itself with tongs or a spatula onto a plate lined with paper towel. The fat left in the pan is your gold. LET IT COOL BEFORE YOU POUR IT OUT. LET IT COOL. LET IT COOL. I will get to more explanation of this in #6, but for now, just remember: bacon fat is very hot. It will burn. LET IT COOL (but not solidify). 5."
},
{
"question": "How do I do that?",
"answer": "Yes. If you don’t strain the bacon fat, there will be little chunks of browned bacon floating around in it, and they are what will gather bacteria and make the fat go rancid."
},
{
"question": "A better question might be: Have you ever strained your bacon fat?",
"answer": "The answer, sadly, would be no, I didn’t know I should until extremely recently. My unstrained bacon fat hasn’t killed me yet, but I’ve been keeping it in the freezer (which we’ll get to). From now on, I plan on straining, which you can do – fairly easily, it seems – by pouring the fat through either a paper towel, a coffee filter, or a fine sieve. 6."
},
{
"question": "What kind of container should I store bacon fat in?",
"answer": "In my earlier post, I suggested using an aluminum can (cleaned out, of course). This was a little misleading of me – I think that would be a good way to store bacon fat, but not the way I have been. Though, as you can see from this picture, my storage system hasn’t worked out perfectly. I use a thick plastic container, well-cleaned, which was working great until one day I poured the bacon fat in when it was still too hot. Now I may have a bit of melted plastic in my bacon fat. It could have been a lot worse – if you pour fat that is too hot into a glass jar, the glass may shatter. Yikes. I think I will be sticking with my plastic (well-fitting lid, no fear of shattering), but I’m going to watch the fat’s temperature more carefully from now on. Reading various online forums, I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of Southern grandmothers store their bacon fat in coffee cans. That seems like a good idea to me, but I never use coffee from a can, so it’s an impossibility right now. 7."
},
{
"question": "Where should I store bacon fat?",
"answer": "And now we’ve come full circle to the motivation for this FAQ in the first place. I said I stored my bacon fat in the freezer and was called out on this because the fat gets really, really pretty solid, which means I’m less likely to use it. Michael, my friend and a cook I respect, said he keeps his bacon fat on his stovetop. His enthusiasm almost won me over to this idea."
},
{
"question": "Bacon fat, right there, at my disposal?",
"answer": "Great! Almost. I can’t quite handle the idea of keeping the bacon fat right there on the stovetop, even if it were filtered (in which case it is actually supposed to be shelf-stable). Most people I ran across in CHOW forums or otherwise couldn’t handle it either (though most of them cited their Southern grandmothers who keep the bacon fat in a coffee can in the cupboard and are 95 years old and still kicking). Mine is going to live in my fridge from now on, which I think is a happy compromise. 8."
},
{
"question": "How long will bacon fat keep?",
"answer": "I have had mine since about September, so that’s six months now, in the freezer. I’m not sure about in the fridge or shelf. Basically, you just keep adding rendered bacon fat to the same jar – I’m not sure if it mixes somewhat or just striates. White bacon fat is great. Beige bacon fat (what I have now) is fine. When your bacon fat has turned brown, it goes in the trash and you start a new jar, no matter what Michael says. 9."
},
{
"question": "Now that I have all this bacon fat, what do I do with it?",
"answer": "As I’ve learned since my comeuppance, there are myriad uses for bacon fat. Basically, you can use it the way you would olive oil or butter to sauté – it will just have a smokier flavor. You can cut it into pastry or biscuits (as Toby suggested in the comments on the freezer post). At this point, I have a lot of bacon fat, so my next project is Bacon Fat Spice Cookies. 10."
},
{
"question": "Can we talk about the fact that this already has a Wikipedia page?",
"answer": "So it’s not bacon fat, exactly. Still, crazy! Next project after Bacon Fat Spice Cookies. With thanks to Jennifer McLagan’s Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, With Recipes, Simply Recipes’ explanation of Rendering Bacon Fat, and the hundreds and hundreds of people who (surprisingly or not so surprisingly) have contributed to forums on the various aspects of this apparently tricky subject. Oh my god! Biscuits! Of course! Now I know what to do with my two bowls of fat in the fridge. Backfat though I think, since it’s from the shoulder…so maybe not so nice and smokey. I have often used bacon in recipes merely because I wanted the sauteed veggies to have that bacon-y flavor, never did it occur to me that I could use the bacon fat in my freezer! Thank you so much!! Mmm! I use bacon fat to roast potatoes, and it results in a better crisp on the cut sides than using olive oil. Wow. What a great post! Thanks for doing all this great research. I’ve never had my fat turn brown, but I certainly would toss it if it did. I wanted to put in an extra plug for Jennifer McLagan’s book. It is AWESOME. Love the recipe for lamb ribs with flageolet beans!"

{
"question": "What is the difference between an Accountant and a CPA?",
"answer": "If you are a student considering a career in accounting, the answer may affect the educational path you choose. If you are a business owner, it could determine which applicant you will hire. CPAs, or Certified Public Accountants, differ from accountants educationally as well as in their credentials and work responsibilities."
},
{
"question": "What is the Differences in their Education and Credentialing?",
"answer": "A Certified Public Accountant usually must have 150 credit hours before taking the exam. (In Colorado, that requisite does not apply until July 1 of 2015). They must also pass ethics exams from the American Institute of CPAs and obtain 1800 working hours, or one year, under the supervision of an actively licensed CPA. Most states require 40 hours of continuing education in a year, but some states allow professionals to get 80 hours in a two-year period."
},
{
"question": "How are CPA and Accountant Work Responsibilities Different?",
"answer": "Many tasks are identical and, based on that, some businesses hire accountants rather than CPAs because it is more cost-efficient if the corporation does not need the extra services a CPA offers. Both CPAs and accountants prepare financial statements, though only Certified Public Accountants can audit or review them. Both prepare taxes, but only a CPA has standing with the IRS to represent clients in tax disputes. Accountants can work in financial institutions as tellers, in business as part of the accounting department and they can do tax preparation. Certified Public Accountants can do those things, but they can also work in forensics fraud investigation or act as expert witnesses in litigation. They can be consultants and work in investment and financial planning. If a CPA holds a dual degree in management, he or she can work in human resources or be project managers. Certification in healthcare management would enable a CPA to be a hospital administrator. “US News.com” says accountants earned a median wage of $35,170 in 2012. In contrast, the median salary for a Certified Public Account was $63,550. Those CPAs who earn certification in other fields can expect to make more. The average salary for a hospital administrator, for instance, was $96,000. The bottom line is that CPAs and accountants are similar, but Certified Public Accountants are regulated and have government standing. To get that standing they earn degrees and pass rigorous testing and work-experience requisites. Students considering careers in accounting should consider that getting a degree is the first step toward a business career that can be exciting and diverse. All CPAs are accountants, but not all accountants are CPAs."

"question": "Why would I want to start or join one?",
"answer": "Aside from the social aspects of being in a guild, where you'll have access to guild chat (where you can ask questions, get strategy advice/opinions, etc. ), guild members are also able to donate Minions to a \"shared pool\" from which other members may withdraw, to use in their own dungeons and raids. And lest we forget, there's also the element of working together towards common goals (ie, Guild Achievements). As these Achievements are completed, this serves to \"level\" the guild up; which, in turn, unlocks the ability to purchase some of the more tangible benefits of being in a guild: Guild Perks. And as of Game Update #3 (released Apr 23, 2014), there are now Guild Tournaments! To see the complete progression through Guild Level 30, click the View Perks button in the upper right-hand corner of your main Guild Info page."
},
{
"question": "What do you mean by purchase?",
"answer": "As mentioned above, as Guild Achievements are completed, and the Guild levels up, the ability to purchase Perks and their upgrades becomes unlocked. There is a gold cost associated with each tier of Perks, which becomes costlier the higher up you go. Members of a guild are able to collectively donate from their own personal Gold coffers to a communal \"guild bank\". These individual contributions are tracked and viewable on the main Guild Info page. It's important to note that there is a finite limit to each Guild Level's Gold donation cap. It won't be possible to continue donating Gold until the Guild manages to level via completion of Guild Achievements. Technically, it's possible to level a guild by completing Achievements to any particular level without purchasing any Guild Perks, although we're not sure why you'd want to. Guild Perks, especially at the higher tiers, grant some pretty significant bonuses!"
},
{
"question": "Where does this surface?",
"answer": "When viewing the main Guild Info page (by selecting your Guild Lair room, then clicking on the Guild Lair button), you'll see the name of your guild at the very top. Immediately below this, on the left, is your guild's emblem, displayed on a banner in the upper-right corner. Immediately to the right of this is a status bar that shows your guild's progress towards Guild Achievements. On this bar, sits a red Horny silhouette, with your guild's level printed on it. Below this, you'll find the current number of members in your guild, and the Type (Public, Invite Only, or Closed)."
},
{
"question": "How many Achievements are required to level up the Guild?",
"answer": "For the first few levels, it requires 2 new Guild Achievements to advance to each new level. As the Guild levels up, the number of required new Guild Achievements increases."
},
{
"question": "So how do I start or join a Guild?",
"answer": "To do either, you'll first need to build a Guild Lair in your dungeon. To start a guild, from the Guild menu (accessed by clicking on your Guild Lair), click the 'Start Guild' button in the upper-left corner. You'll receive a popup window where you can check to make sure that the name you want is available. Once ready to create your guild, click the 'Start Guild' button, which will also (as indicated) charge you 200 gems. To join a guild, from the Guild menu (accessed by clicking on your Guild Lair), you can do a search a particular guild by their guild name. (And if you want an idea about what guilds out there might be recruiting, the Guilds section here on the forums is a GREAT place to search for one!) Once you've found the guild that you're looking for in the Search, you can highlight that guild, and click Join. Depending on the settings of the particular guild (and whether they currently have room; there's a maximum of 50 guild members), you might join right away, or have a request sent to the Leader and Lieutenants which must be approved before admittance, or the attempt to join may fail because there is no room, or the guild is set to Closed (not currently accepting new members). Leader, Lieutenant and Regular Member. There can only ever be one Leader, which initially is granted to the founder of the Guild. The Leader can promote members to Lieutenants, and demote Lieutenants to members. The leader is also able to kick both Lieutenants and members out of the Guild, in addition to being able to accept new members. The Leader may also promote a Lieutenant to replace him/her as Guild Leader... but it is important to note that should a Guild Leader choose to do so, they are in effect renouncing their own Leader status, and will be demoted to the status of Lieutenant. There is a confirmation window with a red warning button that hopefully serves to mitigate mistakes from happening. Please use extreme caution when promoting. There can be an unlimited number of Lieutenants. Lieutenants can promote members to Lieutenants, and are able to accept new members and kick out existing members. They cannot kick out other Lieutenants, nor can they demote other Lieutenants. Regular Members have no special permissions."
},
{
"question": "What happens if my guild leader goes inactive without promoting anyone to take their place?",
"answer": "Currently, there is no \"autopromotion feature\" that will replace an inactive guild leader. Nor is there a mechanism that allows active members to \"vote kick\" an inactive Leader. Possible solutions have been, and continue to be, discussed by the game team. These kinds of decisions are not made lightly... especially given the fact that there are a number of reasons why someone may need/want to be inactive for a period of time. And while there's a certain \"communal ownership\" felt by members of any particular guild (especially given the contributory facets of being in one), guild \"ownership\" still technically belongs to the person who plunked down 200 gems to start the guild. Again, this is still under discussion; we've heard from several of you, from both sides of the argument. If and when a decision is made to implement something that allows for autopromotion due to an inactive guild leader, we'll be sure to let everyone know!"

{
"question": "If I have a parent who is enrolled in a college or university, can this parent be counted as a family member in college when calculating my financial aid?",
"answer": "Under normal situations a parent cannot be included as part of the “number of family members in college”. However, certain circumstances may warrant the inclusion; contact the Office of Financial Aid for more information. 3. My parents have a lot of debts."
},
{
"question": "Where are expenses reported on the FAFSA?",
"answer": "There is no specific section that you list expenses. The formula used by the Federal processor to calculate the Expected Family Contribution assumes that a certain amount of income is needed to support a family. Also, it is based on the household size and the number of family members in college. The Federal financial aid methodology does not make allowances for different lifestyle choices, which often influence the amount of a family’s living expenses. 4. I’m going to be married during the school year for which I am applying for aid."
},
{
"question": "Can I fill out my FAFSA as “married”?",
"answer": "No. You must indicate your marital status as of the date you are completing the FAFSA. In general, once you have indicated your marital status, it is not changed. However, certain situations may warrant an update. 5. My parents are separated or divorced."
},
{
"question": "Whose information should be given on the FAFSA?",
"answer": "On the application, information should be given for the parent you lived with the most in the last 12 months. If you don’t live with either parent or lived with both parents for an equal number of days, information should be given for the parent who provided the greater amount of support to you during the last calendar year. FAFSA instructions have information that will be helpful if you have questions about providing information from separated or divorced parents. If the parent that you reported has remarried, you must also include information about your stepparent on the FAFSA. Your stepparent must be included, regardless of the marriage date or the stepparent’s intent to provide financial support for you. If you receive financial support from the parent not reported also, you should report this as an Other Untaxed Income amount on the FAFSA. 6. My custodial parent remarried and signed a prenuptial agreement that absolves the step-parent from financial responsibility for my education."
},
{
"question": "Why does my step-parent have to provide financial information on the FAFSA?",
"answer": "Prenuptial agreements are ignored by the federal need analysis process. After all, two individuals (parent and step-parent) cannot make an agreement between them that is binding on the third party (the federal government). The federal government considers the step-parent a source of support regardless of any prenuptial agreements to the contrary. If a step-parent marries the parent, he or she is considered responsible for supporting the parent and children even if he or she is unwilling to do so. 7."
},
{
"question": "What does it take to be considered an independent student?",
"answer": "In determining whether you are independent, our office is required to adhere to the standard definition of independent status as outlined by the United States Department of Education. To be considered an independent student for financial aid consideration, you must be able to answer “yes” to at least one of the thirteen questions in Step Three of the FAFSA. If you cannot answer “yes” to at least one of the questions below, you are considered a dependent student and should include parental information on the FAFSA."
},
{
"question": "Can I use only my information?",
"answer": "If none of the dependency status questions on the FAFSA apply to you, the parental information is required because you are classified as a dependent student for financial aid purposes. However, under limited circumstances you may be able to submit your FAFSA without parental information. If you are unable to provide parental information, skip steps 4 and 5. Once you have submitted your FAFSA without parental data, you must follow up with the financial aid office in order to complete your FAFSA. 9. My parents don’t claim me on their tax return and don’t give me any money."
},
{
"question": "I am really independent, why do I have to apply for financial aid using my parent’s income and asset information?",
"answer": "11. I’m moving out of my parents’ house and will support myself from now on."
},
{
"question": "What happens if my parents decide they will not provide any financial assistance (Expected Family Contribution) towards my college expenses?",
"answer": "The federal student aid programs are based on the premise that students (and their parents, or spouse, if applicable) have the primary responsibility of paying for their college education. You are encouraged to seek scholarships. You can also seek employment. Additionally, you may want to consider a student loan. If mitigating circumstances apply, contact our office. 13."
},
{
"question": "What if my, or my parent’s, income has changed significantly since I completed my FAFSA?",

Deaccessioned historical material may be donated to another museum or cultural or education organization, destroyed, sold, or disposed in another manner that the Museum deems fit."

},
{

},
{
"question": "Q: How do people get around Melbourne?",
"answer": "A: Most people in Melbourne prefer to get around using the public transport system. Aside from being cheaper (only 7 AUD a day for a public transport ticket), commuters are also able to avoid dealing with fluctuating fuel prices and high parking fees (over 10AUD), not to mention traffic jams. Expats who live in outlying areas naturally have to spend more for transportation."
},
{
"question": "Q: What license does a non-local need to drive in Melbourne?",
"answer": "A: An expat is allowed to drive in Melbourne using the driver's license issued to him in his home country. However, this is only good for up to three months after the issuance of his Australian visa. After such period, he has to pass a local driving test to be able to continue driving in the city. If his original license was issued in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK or USA, he may simply swap that license with a Victorian license, and there will be no driving tests required."

"answer": "A: Summer, which runs from December to February, is the best time to enjoy the city's fabulous beaches. However, temperatures can go as high as over 40°C, so sunscreen is an absolute must. From March to May, which is autumn, it can still be good and warm but not all the time for those who are mainly planning to hit the beach."
},
{
"question": "Q: Are their coach services in Sydney?",
"answer": "A: Yes. There are coach companies in Sydney driving to all key Australian cities and many NSW regional centers. The terminal is located adjacent to the train station in the City South. Many tourists prefer to travel by coach because it is cheaper and runs faster."
},
{
"question": "Q: What's the best way to see and marvel at Sydney's harbor and other attractions?",
"answer": "A: Most travelers agree that the best way is to take a ferry east from Circular Quay all the way to Taronga Zoo, Manly or west down below the Harbor Bridge, and on towards Parramatta. All of these are affordably priced and are favorites of many tourists. For a shorter route, it's best to take the ferry between Darling Harbor and Circular Quay for a ride below the Harbor Bridge."

},
{
"question": "Q: How long is the processing time for an ETA visa?",
"answer": "A: ETA visas are usually given automatically as soon as all details have been submitted. A visa grant notification will usually be sent to the applicant in seconds. However, in some cases, processing can take longer due to three possible scenarios - incorrect information has been entered in the application, the applicant has a criminal conviction, or the application has been forwarded to the Australian High Commission."
},
{
"question": "Q: What are the options for someone who wants to work in Sydney?",
"answer": "A: Foreign nationals who want to work in Sydney can apply for a Working Holiday visa which is good for a maximum of two years. Those who would like to live permanently in the city can forward an application to Australia’s General Skilled Migration program. The applicant will then be assessed based on a points system which takes into consideration various factors such as age, qualifications, etc. If a person gets a job offer from a Sydney-based company while visiting the city, he or she may apply for a Temporary Residence visa. However, the prospective employer must be able to provide evidence that there are no local candidates qualified for the position. If sufficient proof has been presented, the company may sponsor the worker for up to four years."

{
"question": "What is Myki for Teams?",
"answer": "Myki for Teams is a enterprise focused version of Myki that allows enterprises to secure and manage their internal passwords, share passwords with other team members and create rules that improve password security across the organization. All while keeping the company’s sensitive data stored offline."
},
{
"question": "What are the advantages of using Myki for Teams over other enterprise password managers?",
"answer": "Myki for Teams stores your company's data offline (locally) and seamlessly syncs that data in a P2P manner across enterprise devices. Myki for Teams offers the same level of convenience that cloud-based enterprise password managers offer without the security implications of storing data in a centralized location on cloud servers."
},
{
"question": "As an admin, can i access a user's personal passwords?",
"answer": "No, every user has by default a personal vault that is completely segregated from the enterprise vault. Items in a user's personal vault are stored in a different database altogether that company admins cannot have access to as it is stored locally on the user's device."
},
{
"question": "How is the data relayed between admins in the company?",
"answer": "Every Myki user has an RSA2048 public/private key pair. The public key ledger of all users and admins in the company is synced between admins. Whenever an admin wants to sync data with another admin, the sending admin signs and encrypts that data using the public key of the receiving admins and transmits it to the other admin's devices. The receiving admin verifies the digital signature and proceeds to decrypt the message."
},
{
"question": "How are passwords shared with users in the company?",
"answer": "Similar to the way data is relayed between admins, admins are able to use the public key of any user in the company in order to encrypt passwords and relay them to these users. The receiving user verifies that the message is legitimate by verifying the digital signature of the admin before decrypting the message containing the passwords."
},
{
"question": "What happens if Myki servers get hacked?",
"answer": "Myki servers do not hold any passwords or sensitive data which means that there is no situation in which hackers can compormise user passwords by accesing our servers. A complete, catastrophic compromise of Myki servers can only result in a temporary interruption of the connection between users in the company. Users will still be able to access their accounts while we restore access to the servers as the credentials are stored locally."
},
{
"question": "Where does Myki for Teams store the company's passwords?",
"answer": "Passwords are stored on any Myki-enabled device that you enroll in your company. Admin devices store the complete Myki Vault. User devices store passwords that are assigned specifically to the users in question. This means that users only have physical access to items that they are elligible to access. Myki for Teams stores encrypted enterprise backups on every admin endpoint. This means that multiple company admins that own multiple endpoints (computer, smartphone, tablet) will each maintain a backup on every device diversifying your backup locations which considerably reduces the risk of data loss. We also offer dedicated Myki Backup Servers that you can host on-premise or on private clouds that can be deployed on all popular operating systems with minimal effort."
},
{
"question": "Can we import passwords from an external source (file, password manager or directory)?",
"answer": "Yes, Myki supports a wide variety of import sources. Examples include CSV files, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure AD and competing password management solutions such as Lastpass, Dashlane, 1Password, Bitwarden and Keeper.Import steps are outlined during the onboarding process and can also be found at support.myki.com."
},
{
"question": "Can we export our data out of Myki?",
"answer": "Yes, Myki supports exporting all of your data in CSV format. We are against user lockdown habits."
},
{
"question": "Can Myki sync with Microsot Azure AD and/or Google Cloud?",
"answer": "Yes, you can sync users, passwords and groups. Myki also enables one-click password resets from within the portal."
},
{
"question": "What happens if a user loses his device?",
"answer": "Admins in the company can revoke access which wipes the vault on lost devices. Admins can also re-invite the user to join the company using his new device."
},
{
"question": "What happens if an admin loses his phone?",
"answer": "Admins can wipe the vault of other admins and re-invite them to the company. In the case where a single admin exists in the company, that admin can restore his access using a Myki Backup file that is automatically created on any other device the admin has Myki installed on. Companies using Myki Backup Servers can also restore access to admins from these backup servers."
},
{
"question": "Can users add passwords to the company vault?",
"answer": "Yes, users can assign items to the company vault from within the Myki apps and extensions. By default, assigned items need to be approved by company admins before being permanently incorporated into the enterprise vault. The user keeps access to the item that was assigned to the company but the item is now owned by the company which means that Myki admins can make changes to the fields and to the assignment rules of that item."
},
{
"question": "Can i assign a password to more than one person?",
"answer": "Yes, any item in the Myki Vault can be assigned to more than one user. Users can also be added to groups in order to simplify bulk actions."
},
{
"question": "Can i audit the password strength of users in the company?",
"answer": "Yes, Myki offers several reporting options amongst which is a Password Strength Dashboard that displays the overall strength of your organization based on the strength of passwords stored in the vault. You can filter these reports to identify specific weak passwords and users that are using these weak passwords. A user group is a set of people who have joint interests, goals or roles. A group can be devoted to a particular function, technology, application or corporation. Myki admins can create user groups and add users to these groups. Items, Item Folders and Security Policies can then be assigned to these groups which will result in having every user in the group be affected by the assignment. An item folder is a group containing passwords, cards and/or notes. Item folders can be shared with one user or with a group. You can also apply security policies and rules to item folders. A security policy is an adaptive behavioral constraint that you can apply to users, items and groups that enforces additional security mechanisms on your organization. Security policies include location-based rules, time-based rules and IP-based rules."
},
{
"question": "Can i setup 2FA on accounts in the Myki Portal?",
"answer": "Yes. The portal supports adding 2FA secrets to items by pasting the secret into the portal. This enables Myki to auto-fill the 2FA token of that specific account in the browser."
},
{
"question": "Can 2FA enabled passwords be shared with multiple users?",
"answer": "Yes, passwords that have 2FA enabled can be shared with users, groups and can also be added to item folders which allows users to collaborate using the same credentials while they have 2FA enabled. This is a big advantage that is made possible by the unique decentralized architecture of Myki."
},
{
"question": "Can Myki auto-fill 2FA tokens on behalf of our users?",
"answer": "Yes, adding the 2FA secret to items stored in Myki allows Myki to auto-fill the 2FA token in the browser."

If you are in a public place, consider using a VPN client (available from the Connect Portal under My Apps, see links and files below)."

"question": "How do I order custom lapel pins?",
"answer": "A. The ordering process is simple and can start in a number of ways. First off, feel free to give us a call or send us an email with any questions about the product or your design. You can also use our Free Quote request form. In this form, you will specify the product and quantity you are interested in. Also include any and all art or design ideas. We will reply promptly with an exact price quote and a color proof which is a digital image of what your physical product will look like. Q."
},
{
"question": "What is your minimum order?",
"answer": "A. Our minimum order quantity is 100. In certain situations, we can manufacture and sell orders as small as 50 pins, but there is a below-minimum fee that often applies and the unit pricing is higher than that at quantity 100. Please contact us for additional details. Q."
},
{
"question": "How long does it take to get my pins?",
"answer": "A. Although every pin is a little different, since everything we make is 100% custom, our orders typically deliver 7-10 business days after you pay for your order. That said, if you require a quicker turnaround, we will make every effort to accommodate it. Q."
},
{
"question": "How many colors can I use in my design?",
"answer": "A. Each lapel pin design allows you to feature up to 7 different color fills at no additional charge. If your design is complex and requires more than 7 different colors, we will happily add them. Each additional color only costs an extra $0.10 per pin. A. You can pay for your order online via credit card or by check. Production will begin as soon as your payment is received. Public institutions and hospitals also have the option of paying via Purchase Order. Purchase Orders are not accepted from private organizations, except on rare occasion with prior approval from a salesperson. Q."
},
{
"question": "Can I get my pins faster than the typical turnaround time?",
"answer": "A. Even though our standard turnaround times are some of the fastest in the industry, we understand that sometimes you need your pins even quicker than usual. As such, we work with all customers to understand their deadlines at the beginning of the quoting process. We can either work with our production team to shave a few days off the delivery date or we can guide you into an alternate product type that can more easily facilitate rush production. Q."
},
{
"question": "From what material are your pins made?",
"answer": "A. All of our pins are made of metal. Depending on the type of lapel pin chosen, the base metal will be either iron or brass. Zinc is also used for certain applications. After surface prep (stamping, polishing, etc. ), the base pin is then decorated using soft enamel paint, hard enamel color fills, offset printing ink, and/or silkscreens. Q."
},
{
"question": "Which attachment type should I use?",
"answer": "A. The proper attachment selection depends entirely on the desired application for your lapel pins. Our two most popular (and free) options are the butterfly clutch, also known as the military clutch, and the rubber clutch. The butterfly clutch is the traditional lapel pin clutch and is reliable and easy to use. The rubber clutch is just as reliable and is even easier to use—just pull it straight off! A rubber clutch is the best choice when the clutch is going to come into contact with skin, since it’s a soft rubber and completely non-irritating. While these two clutches are the most popular, we have a variety of upgraded clutches, such as the jewelry clutch, tie tack, magnetic backing, deluxe clutch, cufflink attachment, keychain, and safety pin. Q."
},
{
"question": "Can I buy a pin that you have on your website?",
"answer": "A. Unfortunately, you cannot. One hundred percent of our production is custom ordered. All of the pins on our website are examples of custom works that we’ve manufactured for current and previous clients. All of the design rights belong to those respective clients. We will not reproduce them without said client’s express permission. The samples on the website are for illustrative and inspirational purposes only. That said, we would be happy design and produce a design that perfectly represents your vision."
