At the same time though, the budget required for a test campaign is limited and most customers then move on to run full-scale campaigns via the platform. Reach out to us to get some input what volumes are required to achieve meaningful results. We use an agency for our marketing." }, { "question": "How can we also benefit from optilyz?", "answer": "Many of our users are in fact agencies - who leverage the platform to book, track and optimize campaigns for their clients more efficiently and with an even greater impact." }, { "question": "We already do email marketing, why should we do direct mail marketing?", "answer": "We are former online marketers ourselves and believe in the massive potential of online channels. However, email marketing is not for every use case and a well-balanced marketing mix requires more. Furthermore, direct mail marketing provides many important benefits that should not be overlooked. You can for example build trust, reach many audiences that are hard to reach online, bridge conversion lags and convey a lot of content offline. Since response rates offline are much higher, you can often achieve extremely competitive customer acquisition cost. Direct mail is a form of direct marketing in which past, current or potential customers receive a personalised offer for goods or services via physical mail. If your question isn't answered, please use the contact form below." } ]

[ { "question": "Who can make funeral arrangements?", "answer": "The “customer.” It’s very important for family members to agree about the type of services and merchandise to be purchased. Ideally, the family should designate one person to make the arrangements and to convey the family decisions to the funeral director. The customer will be responsible for the payment of the bill. Yes. In New York State, only a licensed and registered funeral director may make funeral arrangements for the care, moving, preparation and burial or cremation of a deceased person. At the least, the funeral director will file the death certificate, transfer the body, coordinate with cemetery or crematory representatives, make the necessary preparations, and move the body to the cemetery or crematory." }, { "question": "Does New York State require the use of a casket or outer interment receptacle?", "answer": "No, but many cemeteries do require the use of a “suitable container.” New York State law allows for the use of an unfinished wooden box or an “alternative container” made of cardboard, pressed wood, composition materials, or canvas or other material. Even though burial vaults or grave liners are not required by law, some cemeteries require them to prevent collapse or sinking of the grave. If you do not want to buy a burial vault, choose a cemetery that does not require vaults." }, { "question": "Is embalming required by State law?", "answer": "No. In fact, a funeral director must obtain specific approval to embalm from the customer. A funeral home may, however, require embalming if certain services, such as a viewing with an open casket, are chosen. Embalming fees must be clearly stated on both the firm’s General Price List and on the Itemized Statement of Services and Merchandise Provided." }, { "question": "Do I need more than one copy of the death certificate?", "answer": "You will need to give certified copies to insurance companies, banks, etc. The funeral home may obtain them for you.

Old book - technology a bit dated. Kinsler, L Frey, A et al. Comprehensive theory of acoustic waves and vibration in materials." }, { "question": "*** 2.1 What is sound?", "answer": "Sound is the quickly varying pressure wave within a medium that can travel widely in that medium. We usually mean audible sound, which is the sensation (as detected by the ear) of very small rapid changes in the air pressure above and below a static value. This \"static\" value is atmospheric pressure (about 100,000 Pascals) which does nevertheless vary slowly, as shown on a barometer. Associated with the sound pressure wave is a flow of energy. Sound is often represented diagrammatically as a sine wave, but physically sound (in air) is a longitudinal wave where the wave motion is in the direction of the movement of energy. The wave crests can be considered as the pressure maxima whilst the troughs represent the pressure minima. When the rapid variations in pressure occur between about 20 and 20,000 times per second (i.e. at a frequency between 20Hz and 20kHz) sound is potentially audible even though the pressure variation can sometimes be as low as only a few tens of millionths of a Pascal. Movements of the ear drum as small as the diameter of a hydrogen atom can be audible! Louder sounds are caused by greater variation in pressure. A sound wave of one Pascal amplitude, for example, will sound quite loud, provided that most of the acoustic energy is in the mid frequencies (1kHz - 4kHz) where the human ear is most sensitive. It is commonly accepted that the threshold of human hearing for a 1 kHz sound wave is about 20 micro-Pascals. Sound is produced when the air is disturbed in some way, for example by a vibrating object. A speaker cone from a high fidelity system serves as a good illustration. It may be possible to see the movement of a bass speaker cone, providing it is producing very low frequency sound. As the cone moves forward the air immediately in front is compressed causing a slight increase in air pressure, it then moves back past its rest position and causes a reduction in the air pressure (rarefaction). The process continues so that a wave of alternating high and low pressure is radiated away from the speaker cone at the speed of sound." }, { "question": "*** 2.2 What is a decibel (dB)?", "answer": "The decibel is a logarithmic unit for ratios that is used in a number of scientific disciplines. Other examples are the Richter scale for earthquake event energy and pH for hydrogen ion concentration in liquids. In all cases the logarithmic measure is used to compare the quantity of interest with a reference value, often the smallest likely value of the quantity. Sometimes that reference can be an approximate or average value. 1) Quantities of interest often exhibit such huge ranges of variation that a dB scale is more convenient than a linear scale. For example, sound pressure radiated by a submarine may vary by eight orders of magnitude depending on direction; expression in linear units carries with it the confusion of the location of the decimal point. Decibels values are characteristically between only -999 to +999. 2) The human ear interprets loudness more easily represented with a logarithmic scale than with a linear scale." }, { "question": "*** 2.3 How is sound measured?", "answer": "A sound level meter (SLM) is the principal instrument for general noise measurement. The indication on a SLM (aside from weighting considerations) indicates the sound pressure, p, as a level referenced to 0.00002 Pa, calibrated on a decibel scale." }, { "question": "*** 2.5 How are decibel sound levels added?", "answer": "If there are two uncorrelated sound sources in a room - for example a radio producing an average sound level of 62.0 dB, and a television producing a sound level of 73.0 dB - then the total decibel sound level is a logarithmic sum i.e. Note: for two different sounds, the combined level cannot be more than 3 dB above the higher of the two sound levels. However, if the sounds are phase related (\"correlated\") there can be up to a 6dB increase in SPL." }, { "question": "*** 2.6 How does the ear work?", "answer": "The eardrum is connected by three small jointed bones in the air filled middle ear to the oval window of the inner ear or cochlea, a fluid- filled spiral shell about one and a half inches in length. Over 10,000 hair cells on the basilar membrane along the cochlea convert minuscule movements to nerve impulses, which are transmitted by the auditory nerve to the hearing center of the brain. The basilar membrane is wider at its apex than at its base near the oval window; the cochlea tapers towards its apex. Groups of the delicate hair sensors on the membrane, which membrane varies in stiffness along its length, respond to different frequencies transmitted down the spiral. The hair sensors are one of the few cell types in the body which do not regenerate. They can therefore be irreparably damaged by large noise doses. Refer to the Tinnitus FAQ for more information on associated hearing disorders." }, { "question": "*** 2.7 At what level does sound become unsafe?", "answer": "Airborne Sound (\"Noise\"): It is unwise to expose unprotected ears to sound pressure levels above 100dBA, as hearing hair cells will be damages especially a high audio frequencies. Always use hearing protection (ear plugs or noise attemuatng ear muffs) when exposed to levels above 85dBA (about the sound level of a lawn mower at your ears when you are pushing it over a grassy surface), and especially when prolonged exposure (more than a fraction of an hour) is expected. Damage to hearing from loud noise is cumulative and is irreversible. Exposure to high noise levels is also the main cause of troublesome deafness and tinnitus. Air Ultrasound: One metric that has been expressed is that exposure to air ultrasound should not exceed 85dB in the 16kHz octave band. My experience is that high intensity ultrasound is not perceived as having any tone. Rather, if anything, it feels like a small pessure in one's ears or head. If that occurs when you are around ultrasound appatus, move away from it, don earlugs or earmuffs, or place a 1/8\" plexigalss 0r pluwood barrier between you and the source. Tissue (water) Ultrasound: The safety aspects of ultrasound scans are the subject of ongoing investigation." }, { "question": "*** 2.8 What is sound intensity?", "answer": "Sound intensity is expressed in decibels with respect to one pico-watt (10^-12 watts) per square meter. This is very nearly* numerically equal to the sound pressure level (SPL) in decibels when measures one foot from the noise source (viz. the inlet of a noisy fan) . An intensity estimate using SPL measurement only presumes no standing waves or reflections where the effective impedance can differ from that of free space air. In its complete form, intensity include the unit vector of the propagation direction, i.e. intensity is a vector quantity. At a one foot radius, that sound power is distributed over a surface of 4*pi = 12.57 square feet or (*.3048^2=.0920*) 1.17 square meters. 10log1.17=0.7dB. So within 0.1 dB, the coincidence exists that the sound intensity in picowatts per square meter is numerically equal to the sound pressure level in dB! NOTE: This identity holds true only when the impedance, rho*c is exactly 400 mks rayls. This occurs for sea level at 39 degrees C. For 22 C, rho*c = 412; a 0.13 dB difference arises. But at higher elevations, air density decreases for a given temperature. At an elevation of 840 feet above sea level, rho*c reduces to 400 at 22 C. (fortunate for much of Midwestern US!). The 0.13 dB difference at sea level is not usually significant for acoustical measurements. Sound intensity meters are popular for determining the quantity and location of sound energy emission." }, { "question": "*** 2.9 How does sound decay with distance?", "answer": "At distances, R, that are large compared to the size of the source, sound intensity diminishes according to the inverse square law. If the noise source is outdoors and its dimensions are small compared with the distance to the monitoring position (ideally a point source), then as the sound energy is radiated it will spread over an area which is proportional to the square of the distance. This is an 'inverse square law' where the sound level will decline by 6dB for each doubling of distance. Line noise sources such as a long line of moving traffic will radiate noise in cylindrical pattern, so that the area covered by the sound energy spread is directly proportional to the distance and the sound will decline by 3dB per doubling of distance. If the observation position very close to the source, at a distance that is small compared to the size of the source, the sound level changes very little with location in that source area. One may be able to determine the \"virtual center\" of the whole sound field, whence inverse square law calculations can proceed in reference to that distance, for locations outside the source area. The surrounding environment, especially close to the ground, and in the presence of wind & vertical temperature gradients, has a great effect on the sound received at a distant location. Ground reflection affects sound levels more than a few feet away (distances greater than the height of the sound source or the receiver above the ground). Wind and air temperature gradients affect all sound propagation beyond 100 meters over the surface of the earth. Sound propagates well downwind (traveling with the wind), and very poorly upwind. When the ground surface is cooler than the air just above it (\"inversion\"), typically late at night and just before dawn, sound will travel great distances across the landscape even without any wind." }, { "question": "*** 2.10 What is the sound power level?", "answer": "Sound power level, Lw, is often quoted on machinery to indicate the total sound energy radiated per second. It is quoted in decibels with respect to the reference power level. The reference level is 1pico-watt (pW) [1x10^(-12) watts]. One watt of radiated sound power is represented as \"Lw=120 dB re one picowatt\". If the reported sound power is in terms of A-Weighted spectral weighting, a suffix, A, is applied to form dB(A). If instead the sound is emitted over a reflecting plane such as a hard surface, three (3) decibels are added to the SPL. For example, a lawn mower with sound power level 100 dB(A) will produce at a sound pressure level (SPL) of about 89dB(A) at the operator (you) position over grass and 92 dB(A) when the mower is operated over a hard surface such as your driveway. At your neighbor's yard 50 feet (15m) away, the SPL will be is 65 dBA." }, { "question": "*** 2.10.1 How is sound power measured?", "answer": "Sound power is usually measured indirectly as the sound pressure level found at a specific distance, and in every direction that sound can be radiated. The sound power emitted by Items that can be carried to a laboratory is usually measured in a hemi-anechoic room or a reverberation room. Either the \"comparison\" or the \"direct\" method is used. In the comparison method, the SPL that the item causes in that room is compared the SPL created by a standard \"Reference Sound Source\" (see the 'Acculab' portion of this web page) to determine the sound power emitted by the item. This is the most common and economical method. PWL = SPL + 10Log(A)-C.\nA = absorption in the reverberation room, sabins or square meters. C = 6.2 for A in square meters. See ISO Technical Committee Web Site for acoustical measurement information." }, { "question": "*** 2.11 What is the speed of sound in air & water ?", "answer": "The speed of sound in air at a temperature of 0 degrees C and 50% relative humidity is 331.6 m/s. The speed is proportional to the square root of absolute temperature and it is therefore about 12 m/s greater at 20 degrees C. The speed is nearly independent of frequency and atmospheric pressure but the resultant sound velocity relative to the ground may be substantially altered by wind velocity. where gamma is the ratio of specific heats, P is 1.013E5 Pa and rho is the density. See also CRC Handbook of Chemistry & Physics for some other substances and Dushaw & Worcester JASA (1993) 93, pp255-275 for sea water." }, { "question": "*** 2.12 What is meant by loudness?", "answer": "Loudness: Loudness is one of the more difficult aspects of domestic acoustics to learn and understand. I will try me best to get things straight. Loudness is the human impression of the strength of a sound. The loudness of a noise does not always correlate with its sound level. A-Weighting: The A-weighting scale attempts to balance the electronic pass band of a sound level meter to respond to sound at various frequencies as the human ear actually hears it after passing through the eardrum, the middle and into the inner ear (cochlea). Loudness Weighting: The actual weighting curve for the human ear is much more complex than the simplistic A-weightng curve. The ear canal creates a resonance around 4,000 Hz, and the low frequency response depends on sound level, being flatter for the highest sound levels, and cutting off rapidly at low frequencies for low sound levels. Phons: The loudness level of any sound, in phons, is the decibel level of an equally loud 1kHz tone, heard binaurally by an otologically normal listener. (NOTE: Historically, it was with reluctance that a simple frequency weighting \"sound level meter\" curve (A-Weighting) was accepted as giving a representative approximation to loudness. One phon curve is especially selected; that which has a 1,000Hz threshold of 40 decibels (referenced to 20 micropascals). This curve is assigned the special name of \"the 40-phone curve\" (no surprise). More on Loudness: The ear senses noise on a different basis than simple energy summation, and this can lead to discrepancy between the loudness of certain repetitive sounds and their sound level. A 10dB sound level increase is perceived to be about \"twice as loud\" in many cases. follow it. This can lead to a discrepancy between the loudness of certain repetitive sounds and their sound level..\nLoudness Calculation: Loudness level calculations, typically according to ANSI S3.4, take account of \"masking\" - the process by which the audibility of one sound is reduced due to the presence of another at a close frequency. The redundancy principles of masking are applied in digital audio broadcasting (DAB), leading to a considerable saving in bandwidth with no perceptible loss in quality." }, { "question": "*** 3.1 What is vibration?", "answer": "When something moves periodically about a static position it can be said to vibrate. Examples of unwanted vibration are the movement of a building near a railway line when a train passes, or the vibration of the floor caused by a washing machine or spin dryer. Floor vibration can be reduced with vibration isolators, sometimes at the risk of increased machinery vibration and subsequent deterioration." }, { "question": "*** 3.2 How is vibration measured?", "answer": "Vibration is often measured with an accelerometer. This is a device that is securely attached to the surface under investigation. The accelerometer produces an electrical charge proportional to the surface acceleration, which is then amplified by a charge amplifier and recorded or observed with a meter. The frequencies of interest are generally lower than sound, and range from below 1 Hz to about 1 kHz. It is sometimes more useful to know the vibration velocity or displacement. Often, moving coil transducers are used to directly measure vibration velocity. A single integration of that signal provides a measure of displacement. If only an accelerometer is available, it is necessary to integrate the acceleration signal once for velocity and twice for displacement. If the vibration is sinusoidal at a known frequency, f, then an integration is calculated by dividing the original by 2 x pi x f (noting that there is also an associated phase change). Example: A machine is vibrating with sinusoidal motion at 79.6 Hz with an rms acceleration of 10 m/s^2. The final result may also be expressed in terms of zero-to-peak, which is found as the square root of two [sqrt(2)] times the rms value. The peak-to-peak value is twice again that. Thus, one has three measures (acceleration, velocity, displacement) and three scales (rms, 0-p, p-p) totaling nine possible explicit measures of one and the same vibration. Couple that with three possible directions (E-W, N-S, up-down) one faces 27 separate possible values... and then there are inches, mils, microns and millimeters... Needless to say, one must be eternally vigilant and explicit in their vibration measurement and reporting nomenclature!" }, { "question": "*** 3.3 How is vibration isolated or controlled?", "answer": "Vibration problems are solved by considering the system as a number of connected springs and masses with damping. The vibration source is included within, e.g. the engine of a motor car, or the environment on which this assembly is mounted is presumed to vibrate, e.g. a scanning electron microscope. If the vibration is produced by a motor inside a machine, it is necessary that the natural frequency of the supporting system is well below frequency of motor oscillations (the forcing frequency). This is achieved by increasing the mass or decreasing the stiffness of the system as appropriate. The method of vibration isolation is demonstrated with a weight held from a rubber band. If the band is moved up and down very slowly the suspended weight will move by the same amount. At resonance the weight will move much more and possibly in the opposite direction. But as the frequency of vertical movement is further increased, the weight will become almost stationary. Springs are more commonly used in compression than in tension. Intuitive attempts to reduce vibration from machinery can sometimes instead aggravate the problem. This is especially true when care was originally taken to minimize vibration at the time of design, manufacture and installation. Another method of vibration control is to cancel the forces involved using a Dynamic Vibration Absorber. Here an additional \"tuned\" mass-spring combination is added so that it exerts a force equal and opposite to the unwanted vibration. They are only appropriate when the vibration is of a fixed frequency." }, { "question": "*** 3.4 What is Seismic (Earthquake) protection?", "answer": "Earthquakes can produce vertical and sidewise vibrations up tp perhaps one G or more, though it is usually much less. The immediate concerns can be divided into two categories, \"Operating, Basic Earthquake\" (OBE) and \"Safe Shutdown, Earthquake\" (SSE). OBE protection seeks to have equipment operate during and survive an earthquake. SSE protection merely assures that equipment that shuts down during an earthquake will survive to be used another day. Unfortunately, the amount of vibration items experience in a building can be worsened by that building, the higher in the building, the worse the vibration amplitude, since the elasticity of the joists and columns act as springs, only to resonate with the masses supported at anywhere from 5 Hz to 15 Hz. The best place to be is in the basement, on bedrock. Equipment bolted to the floor and walls (\"hard mounted\"), survive best, provided the bolts, walls or floor do not break. Equipment mounted on isolator springs are particularly vulnerable since those soft isolators easily allow the equipment to sway due to the earthquake, only to suddenly crash into the sprung motion stops or nearby objects. Special seismic isolator springs containing soft stops (like the rubber stops accompanying automobile suspension springs) that cushion the impact." }, { "question": "*** 4.2 What is the sound absorption coefficient?", "answer": "The absorption coefficient of a material is ideally the fraction of the randomly incident sound power which is absorbed, or otherwise not reflected. It is standard practice to measure the coefficient at the preferred octave frequencies over the range of at least 125Hz - 4kHz. It can be determined on small material samples with an \"impedance tube\" or on large samples in a laboratory \"reverberation room\". The impedance tube evaluates sound absorption at normal incidence only, and produces absorption values that are slightly lower than those found in the reverberation room where the \"Sabine coefficient\" is measured over a wide range of incidence angles. For the purposes of architectural design, the Sabine coefficient is preferred, though the normal incidence absorption may be used in the absence of any other information. Interestingly some absorbent materials are found to have a Sabine coefficient in excess of unity at higher frequencies. This is due to diffraction effects. Where this occurs the value can be taken at face value for small material patches and as 1.0 for very large absorbers (entire walls). The Odeon computer program includes a file of absorption coefficients." }, { "question": "*** 4.3 What is the difference between sound absorption & sound insulation ?", "answer": "Sound is absorbed when it encounters a material which will convert some or all of it into heat, or which allows it to pass through not to return. For this reason good sound absorbers do not of themselves make good sound insulators. Sound insulators rarely absorb sound. Sound absorbers contribute little to sound insulation. They are treated separately in sound control design. Sound insulation prevents sound from traveling from one place to another, such as between apartments in a building, or to reduce unwanted external noise inside a concert hall. Heavy materials like concrete are the most effective materials for sound insulation - doubling the mass per unit area of a wall will improve its insulation by about 6dB. It is possible to achieve good insulation over most of the audio frequency range with less mass by instead using a double leaf partition (two independent walls separated by an air gap filed with a sound absorber)." }, { "question": "*** 4.4 How is sound insulation measured?", "answer": "Test procedures (e.g. ASTM E-90 in the lab and E336 in the field) generate a loud and consistent broad band spectrum of steady noise on one side of a partition or specimen of the material under test, then measure the amount of this sound that passes through that material. The ratio of the incident sound to the transmitted sound is the \"noise reduction\", usually expressed as 10 time the logarithm of this ratio. If the noise reduction is also corrected for the amount of sound absorption to be found in the receiving room, 10 times the logarithm of the corrected ratio is called the \"transmission loss. This is performed for 1/3 octave bands of noise from 100 to 4000 Hz. A single-number rating of that range of noise reductions or transmission losses van be had by fitting them to a segmented curve. In North America, this procedure is ASTM E413. The fitted range is from 125-4000 Hz. The value of that curve at 500 Hz is called the Noise Isolation Class (NIC) or Sound Transmission Class (STC) respectively. Internationally, ISO140-3 produces the noise reduction and transmission loss data in the same way. But the single number rating is according to ISO 717 which uses data in the 100-3150 Hz range. This single number rating is called \"R'\" and \"R\" respectively." }, { "question": "*** 4.5 How do I improve the noise insulation of my house/dwelling?", "answer": "This is one of the most commonly asked questions of noise consultants. Firstly you should consider whether it is noise insulation or sound absorption (see 4.3) that is really required. Sound insulation is most often asked for in order to keep out unwanted noise, but is occasionally requested for the purpose of minimizing disturbance to others. The method of noise insulation will depend on the exact situation; generalities are extremely difficult to devise. Situations are more often than not unique, depending on the nature of the building infrastructure that the architect or his informal successors have devised. More often than not, successful noise isolation improvement requires the advice of a competent and experiences person and at an early stage of the renovation. The following ideas may serve as initial guidelines. The weak point for sound transmission to and from a building is most often via the windows. Double glazing will usually afford noticeably better protection than single glazing, but in areas of high external noise it might be preferable to have double windows with a large air gap (25 to 100 mm) and acoustic absorbent material on the perimeter reveal around that gap. For a few people, the resultant lower room background noise level can make noise transmitted through party walls more apparent. The fitting of new windows may reduce the level of air ventilation, and it will be vital to compensate for this, if necessary with by improving the noise insulation of certain party walls. Noise through party walls can be reduced by the addition of a false wall. This is constructed from a layer of sound insulating material, commonly plasterboard, separated from the party wall by a large void containing acoustic quilting. The false wall must not be connected to the party wall because that would allow sound transmission paths. The quality of construction is an important consideration if optimal levels of attenuation are desired. It is advisable to contact an independent noise consultant before allowing any building works to commence." }, { "question": "*** 4.5 How does acoustics affect classrooms and meeting rooms?", "answer": "This question is less common, but now known to be a significant factor in modern public education. Basically, the degree that we hear well in a room depends on the background noise level and the reverberation of sound in that room. An example of a good listening environment is outdoors in a quiet back yard in the country . Here, the background noise level can be as low as 35 dBA and the reverberation time will be a tiny fraction of a second, if any. A class or meeting of 20 to 30 persons will proceed quite well, the group acting in harmony most if not all of the time. Repartee vital to learning can be rapid and 2-way." }, { "question": "*** 6.1 What is active noise control?", "answer": "ANC is an electronic method of reducing or removing unwanted sound by the production of a pressure wave of equal amplitude but opposite sign to the unwanted sound. When the electronically produced inverse wave is added to original unwanted sound the result is nil sound at that location. *** 6.2 What causes a sonic boom?\n\" .. When the speed of an aircraft is supersonic, the pressure waves cannot get away ahead of the aircraft as their natural speed is slower than that of the aircraft. Slower, in this context, means just over 1200 km/hr at sea level and about 10% less at normal cruising altitude. Because they cannot get away, the pressure disturbances coalesce and lag behind the airplane, which is in effect traveling at the apex of a conical shock wave. The main shock wave is generated by the extreme nose of the airplane, but ancillary shocks are generated by all the major fuselage discontinuities." }, { "question": ".. \"\n*** 6.3 Can you focus sound?", "answer": "Sound can be focused like light, but in the case of sound the \"optics\" must be much larger because you are dealing with longer wavelengths. This effect is heard in some domed buildings such as the Capitol in Washington, and St. Paul's Cathedral in London providing noise background conditions permit. Large parabolic reflectors 1/2 meter or more in diameter can be used to send and receive sound over significant distances. Your local science museum or exploratorium may have a demonstration of this method. It is also possible to refract and focus sound with an \"acoustical lens. The lens is constructed from parallel plates which locally decrease the speed of sound. Also, a large thin bubble, say 2 metres across, filled with carbon dioxide will focus sound. The effect is not very pronounced. Sound can be directed by assembling several loudspeakers in an organized array. See \"Acoustics\" by Leo Beranek, 1954 and 1986, pp 93-115. This principle is used in column speakers, and commercial systems for reducing noise levels outside the dance floor area of discos." }, { "question": "*** 6.4 What is sonoluminescence?", "answer": "In the early 1930s Frenzel and Schultes discovered that photographic plates became \"fogged\" when submerged in water exposed to high frequency sound. More recent experiments have succeeded in suspending a single luminous pulsating bubble in a standing wave acoustic field, visible in an undarkened room. Generally sonoluminescence is light emission from small cavitating bubbles of air or other gas in water or other fluids, produced when the fluid is acted upon by intense high frequency sound waves. The mechanism is not completely understood, but very high pressures and temperatures are thought to be produced at the center of the collapsing bubbles. See \"Science\" 14 October 1994 page 233, \"Scientific American\" (International Edition) February 1995 Page 32 or \"Physics Today\" September 1994 Page 22, all quite readable articles. [snip] .. I have been sufficiently interested to reconstruct the apparatus for producing this effect -- using a pair of piezoelectric transducers, an old oscilloscope and a signal wave generator -- materials costing only a few hundred dollars." }, { "question": "*** 6.5 Why does blowing over a bottle make a note?", "answer": "Example: A 75 cl (7.5E-4 m^3, approx. a \"fifth\") sized wine bottle with neck diameter 19 mm, bottle neck length 8 cm, air temp = 20 degrees C. The calculated resonant frequency is 109Hz, actual resonance was 105Hz. Helmholtz resonators are sometimes employed as a means of passive noise control in air conditioning ducts. They may also be hidden in the wall design of auditoria and offices in order to improve the acoustics." }, { "question": "*** 6.6 What is pitch?", "answer": "The term \"pitch\" has both a subjective and an objective sense. Concert pitch is an objective term corresponding to the frequency of a musical note A (at present 440Hz). Using such a standard will define the pitch of every other note on a particular musical scale. Many sounds with no obvious tonal prominence are considered by musicians to be of indeterminate pitch; for example, the side drum, cymbals, triangle, castanets, tambourine, and the spoken word. Pitch is also a subjective frequency ordering of sounds. Perceived pitch is dependent on frequency, wave form and amplitude or changing amplitude. Numbers can be assigned to perceived pitch relative to a pure frontal tone of 1000Hz at 40dB (1000 mels) thereby establishing a pitch scale. Temperament pertains to the rule by which the frequency of sounds at successive pitches are spaced. For example, with Equal Temperament each semi-tone is higher or lower in frequency than the previous semi-tone by a factor of 2^(1/12). An octave is a pitch interval of 2:1. This is our Western scale, 12 steps; \"12-TET\" (tone equal intervals) comprise an octave. The Equal tempered scale was developed for keyboard instruments, such as the piano, so that they could be played equally well(?) in any key. It is a compromise tuning scheme. The equal tempered system uses a constant frequency multiple between the notes of the chromatic scale. Hence, playing in any key sounds equally good (or bad, depending on your point of view). Other Equal temperaments do exist (some music has been written in 19-TET and 31-TET for example), but they are so rare that when people use the term equal temperament without qualification, it is usually understood that they are talking about the twelve tone variety. The 12-TET set of notes (plus all notes related by octaves) forms the Chromatic scale. The Pentatonic (5-note) scale is formed using a subset of five of these notes. Just Temperament: The \"Just Scale\" (aka \"harmonic tuning\" or \"Helmholtz's scale\") results from using the overtone series natural to vibrating strings and air columns. All the notes in the scale are related by rational numbers. The results of just tuning depends on the scale being tuned. E.g. Tuning for C Major is not the same as for D Major. Just tuning is used by ensembles (such as for barber shop quartet, choral and orchestra works). The players match pitch with each other \"by ear.\"" }, { "question": "*** 6.7 What are musical intervals?", "answer": "An interval is the fractional frequency ratio between any two musical notes. The use of Just Temperament causes serious problems of intonation when music modulates between keys. Equal Temperament is nearly always used as a compromise to the problem of tuning (see question 6.6). The interval between any two notes above can be found by multiplying the intervening ratios; thus if all the above ratios are multiplied together the resultant is 2 because an octave is twice the original frequency. The interval between E & F and between B & C is a semi-tone, whilst the other intervals are tones. Intervals are sequentially labeled. The name or the label of an interval is determined by counting the number of diatonic degrees between the two notes beginning with one for the lower note. The number of degrees between C and G for example is 5, therefore that interval is a \"fifth\". In the scale of C major: C D E F G A B C, the note 'E' is the third note of the scale, so the interval from C to E is therefore called a third. For the scale D major: D E F# G A B C# D, the third will be F#. The notes of minor scales differ from their major counterparts; one important difference being the flattened third. E flat is a minor third above the note C.\nThe term \"interval\" can also be used to indicate that the notes are sounded together, in which case there are consonant intervals or dissonant intervals. If the interval is more than an octave it is called a compound interval. See The Oxford Companion to Music, Percy A Scholes, \"interval\"." }, { "question": "*** 6.8 What causes \"helium voice\"?", "answer": "Many people, on hearing the voice of someone who has breathed helium, believe that the person's speech pitch has increased. A cavity will have certain resonant frequencies. These frequencies depend on the shape and size of the cavity and on the velocity of sound within the cavity. Human vocal cords vibrate impulsively (the pulse rate is the voice fundamental) in the vocal tract, generating a range of frequencies above that fundamental. The vocal tract and its attached cavities enhance various frequency components imparting the recognizable voice spectrum. The velocity of sound in helium is more than twice that in air. The characteristic resonant frequencies of the vocal tract via its length will be changed on that count. The resonance frequency of cavities, depending on volume, the size of entrance openings and the velocity of sound (see 6.5). The mechanical impedance and resonance frequency of any solid or fleshy tract component will not be altered by helium. The result of the higher resonance frequency of the several vocal tract cavities is to alter substantially the relative amplitudes of the voice harmonics amplitudes thus leading to a significant voice timbre change and also an apparent pitch change." }, { "question": "*** 6.9 What is structural acoustics?", "answer": "Structural acoustics is concerned with the coupled dynamic response of elastic structures in contact with non-flowing fluids into which vibrations or sound is consequentially emitted. Conversely, sound in the fluid can excite vibrations in the structure. The fluid, although non-flowing, undergoes small amplitude vibration relative to some equilibrium position.) For heavy fluids like water, the coupling is two-way, since the structural response is influenced by the fluid response, and vice versa. For lighter fluids like air, the coupling may be either one-way (where the structural vibration affects the fluid response, but not vice versa) or two-way (as occurs, for example, in the violin. Structural acoustics problems of interest involving water include the vibration of submerged structures, acoustic radiation from mechanically excited, submerged, elastic structures; acoustic scattering from submerged, elastic structures (e.g., sonar echoes); acoustic cavity analysis; and dynamics of fluid-filled elastic piping systems. These problems are of interest for both time-harmonic (sinusoidal) and general time-dependent (transient) excitations. Water hammer in pipes can be thought of as a transient structural acoustics problem. Structural acoustics problems of interest involving the air medium include determining and reducing noise levels in automobile and airplane cabins. Reference (for simple geometry problems): \"Sound, Structures, and Their Interaction,\" Second Edition, by M.C. Junger and D. Feit, MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass (1986)." }, { "question": "*** 6.10 What is the doppler effect?", "answer": "When a sound source is moving, a stationary observer will hear a frequency that differs from that which is produced by the source. The doppler effect will be noticed as a marked drop in pitch when a vehicle passes at high speed. An interesting fact is that doppler for any straight line movement always sweeps down in pitch! If one approaches a sound source by moving toward it with a velocity, v, the frequency of the sound heard is F=Fo*(c+v)/c, where Fo is the emitted sound frequency, c is the speed of sound in still air and v is the speed of the observer or the moving source. if one moves away from a sound source, the sign of v is reversed. But for an approaching sound source, the frequency of the sound heard is F=Fo*c/(c-v). For a receding source the sign of the velocity, v, term is reversed. The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s (see 2.11). Example 1: A stationary sound source, S, emits 1000 waves per second (1 kHz). S |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     | Obs. A a distance of 340 meters, the first sound has taken one second to reach the observer, and the tone heard is as emitted by the source. Now consider the Source as moving directly towards an observer, O, at a speed of 100 metres per second (equivalent to approximately 225 miles per hour). S |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   | Obs. Therefore the same number of waves will occupy a space of 340-100 = 240 metres. The wavelength will be now be 240/1000 = 0.24 metres. The sound velocity remains unchanged at 340 m/s. In this circumstance, to the observer, the frequency heard will be the speed of sound divided by its wavelength = 340/0.24 = 1416.7 Hz! [F=Fo*c/(c-v)]. Note that the sound frequency can go to infinity when the source speed approaches c; this can occur for bullets and a supersonic aircraft; what we often hear is a \"crack\" or a shock wave. Example 2: An observer moving at 100 metres per second directly approaches a stationary sound source, S, which is emitting 1000 waves per second (1 kHz). In this example there is no change in wavelength. I n one second, the observer will hear the number of waves emitted per second plus the number of waves which s/he has traversed in the time; (1000+100/0.34) = 1294.1 Hz. [F=Fo*(c+v)/c]. Note that for departing a sound source, the sound frequency goes through low frequencies to zero when -V = c.\n1- A stationary observer near a moving source will not hear the same frequency as a would a moving observer with a stationary source. 2- If a source and a receiver are moving at the same speed in stationery air (e.g. adjacent moving trains), the sound received has the same frequency, but is delayed in time (a phase shift). The faster their speed, the greater the delay. This is the result that Michelson and Morley tried to show (unsuccessfully) for the \"Aether\" a century ago. Corollary: When one is confined to movement velocities equal to or less than the speed of sound, on approaching a sound source, one will observe frequencies up to only twice the radiating frequency, but if one is stationary and approached by a sound source, there is no upper frequency limit. Teaser: Apply these principles to light, aether, red shift and quasars." }, { "question": "*** 6.11 What is white noise, pink noise?", "answer": "The power spectral density of white noise is independent of frequency. There is the same amount of energy within any two different but identically sized frequency intervals. E.g. 84-86Hz and 543-545Hz. A narrow band FFT analysis of white noise will show as flat. However octave band analysis will show the level to rise by 3dB per octave because each band has twice the frequency range of the preceding octave. Pink noise is produced by filtering white noise to have the same power within each octave. Narrow band analysis will show a fall in level with increasing frequency, but third octave band or octave band analysis results will be \"flat\"." }, { "question": "Any reasons for the choice?", "answer": "For higher audio frequencies, the \"skin effect\" in practical conductors forces the current to be close to the surface. This increases the effective resistance of that wire. The \"Skin depth\" - for planar geometry and wire diameters much larger than this depth - is where the ac current diminishes to 1/e of the surface value. Round wire conductors should be less than three times that planar skin depth in diameter for there to be a \"small\" effect. One way to circumvent the problem is to use stranded wire, each stand insulated from the other and woven in a special pattern that varies the radius and thus the magnetic linkage. This is called \"Litz wire\". Audio designers may bundle several smaller gauge insulated wires, stranded or solid, to form a larger capacity conductor with minimal skin effect. Also, thinner or stranded wire has a nice flexibility and workability. The skin depth, delta, is given by: delta = a/sqrt(f) where delta is in meters, f in Hertz. The constant, a, is .0642 for silver, .0660 for copper, .0826 for aluminum, .127 for brass, and .185 for a representative solder. My reference is \"Fields and Waves in Communications Electronics,\" Ramo, Whinnery, and Van Duzer, Wiley, 1965, page 289. Art Ludwig concludes with: \"Litz wire - a bundle of woven insulated wires - is designed to reduce the skin effect. Ordinary stranded wire will not help since the wire strands are in electrical contact and tend to stay at the same radius from the center. \"A Matlab program is available (Requires Matlab 5) for computing skin depth effects, current density, effective resistance, etc., etc. for cylindrical copper wires of any diameter and at any frequency.

Ideally weightings should be calculated for the exact frequencies which may be determined from the formula 1000 x 10^(n/10), where n is a positive or negative integer. Thus the frequency shown as 1250 Hz is more precisely 1258.9 Hz etc. * There is some reason to believe that a very low frequency rollover frequency of 4 Hz may be appropriate for instruments that are to be used to measure sound affecting humans.

It does not structure the information according to the nature of the source. It does not matter if it is a competitor (which Google does not know) or if it is a no-background writter. It will deliver hundreds of thousands (millions) of results, but prioritized according to its Google criteria, which will never be yours. The relevant information will be hidden behind the great volume of results. In the deep web can be 80% of the information of your interest, and Google does not have to even know that it exists. You will not be able to automatically access databases (e.g. tenders or regulatory projects) and automatically filter the information according to your business. You will not be able to establish assignment rules of subjects depending on team members' background, nor to define the degree of responsibility and implication of each person according to the subject. You can not coordinate a team that collaborates in describing the business and the topics of which each one is specialist. You will not be able to collaborate in analyzing the market signals in a cooperative way. It does not offer you tools to generate intelligence reports from cooperative work. Nor can you define different levels of permissions: Who can organize, modify, collaborate or read information according to the foci of intelligence that you have designed. You will have to resend the information one by one and manually to the interested people, and you will never know if your effort is taken advantage of. Or if there are areas of the company neglected or people who do not perform their analysis function. Without a professional platform, more than 60% of the resources dedicated to monitoring are wasted in capturing and filtering information (calculations of an antara client), leaving very few resources available for value added tasks that make the difference: Analysis, Recommendations and Decission. Some of our users create alerts on Google, which connect to our mussol intelligence platform as yet another source of information.

I would like to change the interface language." }, { "question": "How can I change it?", "answer": "The program selects the language of the interface according to the predefined language in the browser. Thus, if the preferred language in the browser is Spanish, the program will display the interface options in that language. Otherwise it will appear in English. If you want to change the interface language without changing your browser preferences, you can turn to the language change option at the top of the screen." } ]

[ { "question": "What is the primary teaching philosophy of The Bridge School?", "answer": "Our goal is to provide an engaging and cooperative learning environment that supports academic growth, creativity, exploration, community building and connecting to nature. To do this we use a progressive, child-centered, constructivist approach that includes a variety of curriculum and and activities selected for the age and needs of current students. Therefore, the approach and specific developmental approach shifts from year to year to ensure that individual student needs are being met. In short, we use what works for the students we have at any given time and the specific approach shifts to ensure that we meet the developmental needs of all our students." }, { "question": "Is a cooperative elementary school the same as a cooperative preschool?", "answer": "The Bridge School grew out of the co-founders’ experience at local cooperative preschools, so there are strong ties between the two models. Similarities include fostering a strong school community through having parents contribute time to the classroom and school needs and attending monthly parent meetings. At the Bridge School we organize families into School Support Teams, each led by a board member and responsible for a particular list of tasks (e.g. Fundraising, Facilities, Membership etc.). As we have grown, we have adapted our cooperative model to meet the needs of elementary ages through more targeted classroom roles for parents and many opportunities to help the school outside of school hours. Families who choose The Bridge School want to be involved in their child’s school and education, and this is reflected in the number of work hours we ask each family to fulfill each year. This high level of parent involvement not only builds a strong, friendly community but helps keep tuition low. The choice to follow a cooperative model is independent of the curriculum and has been effectively used in a variety of schools for all ages including public education, Montessori schools and independent models." }, { "question": "What is play based learning and do you incorporate this into classroom work?", "answer": "Purposeful play-based learning uses high interest games and open ended activities to allow children to explore ideas and materials, solve problems and express themselves and their thinking. Learning through play is not only natural, but sets the stage for future learning through intrinsic motivation and greater social-emotional success. Our teachers plan and create challenging, dynamic, play-based learning opportunities in the classroom for all ages of students, but particularly for our younger classes." }, { "question": "Should I enroll in both?", "answer": "We understand that families have a variety of needs and preferences for their child’s education, which is why we offer a flexible program where your child can attend either four or five days per week. The Core Academic Program meets Monday – Thursday and includes regular instruction in math, literacy, science, social studies, music, art, outdoor education and social-emotional skill development. Friday Creative Enrichment offers optional morning and afternoon workshops on a variety of topics including (but not limited to) Musical Theater Production, theater skill development, visual arts, crafts, building/construction, physical education, sewing, songwriting and Cedar Play School. There are three sessions for Friday Creative Enrichment classes and students may enroll in one, two or three sessions. The Core Program and Friday Enrichment combined provides 1000 instructional hours, which meets the minimum requirement for a Washington State Approved School and is why we offer both components. A number of families choose to enroll in both because they want a standard schedule for their child and/or one that matches closely with the public school." }, { "question": "Will my child be okay if we only enroll in the Core Academic Program?", "answer": "Absolutely! The Core Academic Program will support your child in growing academically and socially at his or her own pace. Some children thrive with shorter school weeks because they have more time to focus on individual interests or to have flexible time at home with their family over a longer period. The only “right” program for your child is the one that works best for her/him and your family at any given time. We are happy to talk with you about what would support your child best right now." }, { "question": "Why do you have multi-age classrooms instead of grade-based ones?", "answer": "We believe that there are unique benefits to multi-age classrooms including allowing students to grow at their own pace in a non-competitive environment and deep peer-to-peer learning and mentorship. Many teachers have the same students for more than one year, which allows teachers to deeply understand their students and develop strong, trusting relationships. Student growth and assessment are built into the daily teaching and learning so that teachers are ready to support the next steps." }, { "question": "I have two children that are close in age; will they be in the same class?", "answer": "If your children are close in age, they may be in the same class. However, that doesn’t mean that they will be spending all their time together or working at the same level. Instruction in multi-age classrooms is differentiated based on student abilities; while the subjects or themes are the same for all students, the level at which they are working varies based on their development." }, { "question": "What is “outdoor education” and how it it a part of your program?", "answer": "Broadly defined, outdoor education can be simply defined as experiential learning in, for, or about the outdoors. At the Bridge School we have a designated outdoor education teachers who plans and leads weekly classes lasting 2-3 hours at Seahurst Park every week in the Fall and Spring. Our youngest class, Coho, go to the park each week with their teacher for about an hour and a half per week during these seasons. Early goals of our outdoor education program is to normalize being outside by support students in feeling comfortable exploring the outdoors with guidance; as they get older they learn skills in observation, journaling, plant and animal identification and earth science. Yes! We believe that it is important for students to have learning opportunities that are real and extend beyond the four walls of the classroom. Learning happens all the time, whether students are in school or in the classroom. Teachers plan multiple field trips and experiences throughout the year to illustrate and experience current projects and topics of study (and we also love going to the theater when we can, too!). We do not assign regular homework at The Bridge School. However, work will be sent home on occasion if not completed during class or if a student needs additional support in a particular area. We believe children should be able to spend lots of time outside of school with family, friends and pursing their other interests. If students or parents desire academic resources to pursue at home, teachers will be happy to suggest appropriate learning materials and games to reinforce learning." }, { "question": "Will my child be able to easily transfer into another school after attending The Bridge School?", "answer": "Yes. We’ve had students successfully transfer to both public and private schools at grade-level. Our instruction and assessment are based on developmentally appropriate practices – just as the public school system strives to do – and our main focus is to meet each child where they are academically and socially." }, { "question": "What kind of tests, assessments or scores do you use to ensure that a student is learning?", "answer": "We use a variety of assessment tools including observation, Developmental Continuums, Running Records, DIBELS, and narrative descriptions. We are also aware of and reference referencing WA State standard standards. We do not use standardized testing or grades at The Bridge School. Our low student-adult ratio and multi-age classes allows teachers to know students individually. Students are assessed with an eye toward regular progress and skill development, rather than achieving specific grade-based benchmarks, and each student is tracked to ensure that he or she is appropriately supported and challenged. Each student has an annual portfolio of work samples that are collected over the course of the year; as student get older they take a larger role in selecting work to contribute to their portfolios. Teachers and parents discuss student progress at Fall and Spring conferences during the year, in addition to regular weekly and monthly communication." }, { "question": "Do you require academic testing as part of the application process?", "answer": "We believe each child comes to us right where they need to be. Current academic level or ability has no bearing on admittance. That said, it’s important that we have as much information as possible so that we can determine if The Bridge School is a good overall fit. To gather information, we require that applicants submit an evaluation form completed by their current teacher, as well as either attend a scheduled Play Date Observation (ages 5-6) or visit the school for a morning. If an applicant has not had a prior teacher, we ask that another adult who knows your child well complete this evaluation. We may also assess incoming students so we can support and challenge them at an appropriate level." }, { "question": "What is the time commitment for parents at The Bridge School?", "answer": "The Bridge School values a strong school community and that is only possible if families have a desire to participate. We ask for parent help in areas such as classroom support, cleaning, fundraising, membership, driving for field trips etc., and each family must complete an assigned amount of work hours based on full or part day status. For the 2018-2019 school year, families with at least one full-time enrolled student must contribute a minimum 130 work hours per year. Families with a part-day student must contribute 100 work hours. (Required minimums for single parent households are halved.) Ten of the total required hours must be approved fundraising tasks. We have many families that put in more than the minimum required!" }, { "question": "What if we don’t have a parent or caregiver available during the day to help – can we still attend The Bridge School?", "answer": "We always have students whose family schedules do not allow for availability during the school day. As long as you can commit to fulfilling the number of hours required, we work with you to find tasks that allow you to contribute in meaningful way and fit with your life." }, { "question": "Do you offer services or behavioral support for students with special needs?", "answer": "As a small school with a limited teaching staff, we are not able to offer special services for severe learning disabilities, behavioral challenges or certain other student support needs. We generally determine our ability to serve students on an individual basis. We believe that social-emotional growth is as important as academic development. As students mature with us, we strongly support independent study skills in addition to collaborative ones as multi-age classes include a mix of independent, small group and whole class activities. We have found that students who require high levels of one-on-one attention and more structured environments will be better served in settings that can provide that support." }, { "question": "Can my child access public school resources even though they attend The Bridge School?", "answer": "Yes. All children are eligible for services within their local school districts regardless of where they attend school. Families should contact their district directly for exact directions on how to obtain needed evaluations and services." }, { "question": "Has The Bridge School considered being a charter school?", "answer": "The Bridge School opened its doors before Washington State had charter schools, so it simply wasn’t an option when we formed. At that time we considered approaching a local public school to see if a cooperative program could be integrated as has been done in some other districts. We decided against this for two primary reasons: 1) We wanted to maintain control over the curriculum and program schedule and, 2) We had seen funding for established cooperative programs in public schools be unexpectedly revoked and we didn’t want to risk the future development of the school. We do not currently offer onsite before- or after-school care. We occasionally offer after school clubs focused on particular student interests. Yes, we offer several tuition and financial assistance options for our Core Academic Program families. We offer a Exchange Tuition Rate for to accommodate families with restricted availability to complete parent work hours." }, { "question": "How can I learn more about your program or visit the school?", "answer": "We have two open houses during each year where parents can visit the classroom and talk to teachers, and current parents. Please contact our Membership Coordinator if you have questions or requests for information: [email protected], or call the administrative office – 206-922-1202." } ]

[ { "question": "Where do I start?", "answer": "I tried my best to make this site as easy to navigate as possible so you can find the answer to any question you might have. So feel free check out the menu bar and the sidebar. And, most importantly: By all means sign up for my daily German tips here (or here)! Good question, and the one you should start with. You see, some people try to learn German in a way that doesn’t make much sense." }, { "question": "Sure, you might have completed a couple of lessons on Duolingo or Memrise, but where do you go from there?", "answer": "Here is where the natural approach comes in. You take your basic vocabulary and use that to understand simple German texts, videos, or audio. You will understand very little at first, but the more you listen and read, the better you will understand. It certainly helps at first to have the translation, which is why I always try to provide you with one (for example, try reading both versions of this page by using the flag in the menu). You will infer the meanings of new vocabulary words from context (or after having compared the original with the translation) and the more you hear or read them, the more the vocabulary words will stick in your mind. You see, you brain recognizes patterns and remembers them. That’s also how you will learn German grammar. You can read more about the natural method here. But there’s more you need! Learning German effectively also means having the right mindsets and habits. You need to make a real commitment to learning German, after having figured out your strongest possible motivation. Furthermore, it has been proven helpful to set apart a fixed time every day so you can focus on learning German and on that only. You can read more about this essential topic here. You need to listen to as much German as possible! This really works if you dedicate yourself to listening to as much as possible: while brushing your teeth, commuting, making meals, cleaning the house etc. Also listening one hour before going to sleep has been proven to be most effective as well. To learn more about how and why this works, you can read up on my general German learning tips and the natural method on this page. Tip: Most podcast apps (and the yellow player on this site) let you change the playback speed, so use this feature to match the speed to your listening skills. Here is some German audio for you. All this is only possible if you already understand more than half of what is being said. If you are not there yet, use audio with transcripts and translations. This way, you can read the translation, read the text and then listen to the audio for maximum comprehensibility. I provide this for most content I produce and especially in the Authentic German Learning Academy. The natural method, or natural approach to language learning, is a language learning method developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell, based on Krashen’s scientific theories of language acquisition. It’s a method that helps develop communicative skills, so it can really help you speak German! That’s in sharp contrast with traditional methods that teach through memorization and drill – those won’t really help you to speak German yourself. The idea is that we can learn a new language like a baby, i.e. second language acquisition is basically the same as first language acquisition. That’s because our brain can recognize and remember patterns better than if we explicitly study the underlying rules. Applying the natural approach is simple: Read and listen to a lot of German. The level of the material should be such that you understand roughly 70% to 80%, so not too hard and not too easy. You can read more about the natural approach here. Have a look at the answers above. You can learn a lot of German grammar, not by explicitly studying the rules, but by reading and listening to German and your brain recognizes and remembers the patterns. This way, you learn German grammar much much efficiently and you can apply it much faster! When you talk with a German or fellow student, you don’t need to think about all the rules and which ones apply, instead, your brain will match the learned pattern onto your own speech production. It can also be helpful to learn German grammar explicitly, but it is often overemphasized by most German teachers. Much like a pupil in school studies the finer points of his own language, so it can be helpful to study grammar explicitly during later stages of your German studies, especially if you want to write German correctly. You can read more about learning German grammar here. Yes, you can check out this series and these videos for beginners. I’m in the process of creating a German course for beginners. You can get notified when it’s done! Simply write your name and email in the fields to get notified." }, { "question": "Which German learning resources do you recommend?", "answer": "There are a couple of great German learning resources. Many people use Duolingo, but I myself am more partial to Memrise. Those are good for beginners who want to gain basic vocabulary. Warning though: Don’t overuse them! Once you know basic vocabulary, you should be trying to read basic texts. I highly recommend you use Wiktionary. It has detailed explanations of even the most difficult German words. There are tables showing you the conjugation of every verb and the declination of nouns. Of course, you might have to use Google translate in conjunction with the site. I highly recommend Wiktionary if you really want to know what a particular German word means or what is the difference between one German word and another. I can also recommend Bliu Bliu* because you don’t have to worry about grammar, get exposed to new words and can click on any word or sentence and translate it into any language. I used it myself and even produced some content for the German section. Finally, there is HelloTalk. This app allows you to talk with Germans who want to learn your language, so you can help each other out. It has nice chat interface with inbuilt correction system, translation and even voice chat. Other then Apps and websites, there are also many books that can help you to learn German. For non-fiction books, check out my list of the best books to learn German. Other than those, I now create most resources that you need. Have a look around, I’m sure you’ll find plenty on this site. For example, there is the Authentic German Learning Academy for German learners who want to get to the next level. As a member, you get access to all my best German learning material." }, { "question": "How can I learn German articles?", "answer": "When you look up a word in a dictionary, pay attention to the article and make sure to learn it as well. However, it would be an impossible task to learn by heart every article of every word you know. Instead, read and listen to a lot of German and you will automatically acquire the article as well. There are also two interesting apps you can try out: Artikel Smasher (der, die, das) for Android and Der Die Das for iOS. Since I have Android, I tried the first one and it is great! Try to keep up, it’s very fast. If you practice a while, I’m sure your streak count will increase more and more, so don’t get discouraged. First of all, remember that according to the natural approach speaking is not practicing. The best way to practice speaking German is to listen to a lot of German. This is important, especially if you consider how well proven the natural approach is. For one, you can talk to me! I’ll gladly talk with you and help you out if you want to book me. Then there is also HelloTalk, a nice app that lets you connect with Germans who want to learn your language. Use the voice chat feature to talk with them! On italki you can find language partners as well. The ones you find there are usually willing to skype with you. You can also hire a teacher on italki. If you already live in a big city then meet them in person! For this, I highly recommend Meetup, a site I’ve personally used to join great meetups. You can search the site for “learn German” to find German learning meetups. Pro tip: If you already live in a German-speaking area, join any meetup you are interested in, that’s where you’ll find real Germans. And also, always remember that context matters! So if you ask me what something means, try to give me as much context as possible so I can help you even better. Finally, please don’t ask in a comment to an unrelated post or a private message. Help your fellow German learners by making a separate post in a public forum, for example, in the Facebook or WhatsApp group!" }, { "question": "Which personal development books do you recommend?", "answer": "However, the book that will help you most right now depends very much on what you are going through and which areas of your life you need to improve the most. That’s why I made a whole page where I separate the best personal development books into categories and give a short summary/review for each. There is also the category personal development books on my blog. I will continually add more and more book summaries and reviews there. I invite you to check out my personal Goodreads account. Goodreads is like the Facebook of books, I love it and highly recommend it. A lot! Many students have told me that their German has dramatically improved after watching my German learning videos, listening to my audio materials and reading my texts. Moreover, I will help you get your mindset right. Learning German can sometimes be frustrating, but I’m here to motivate you! That’s what I’m here for. I’m your friendly German teacher. But rather than hear it from me, hear it from my students." }, { "question": "Which German dialect will I learn with Authentic German Learning?", "answer": "I speak standard German (High German). If you master that, you will be able to speak with almost every German. Even the ones that speak a dialect can either be understood with a bit more effort or they can also speak High German if you ask them nicely." }, { "question": "How did Authentic German Learning start?", "answer": "I had an interest in starting an online business for a long time. It so happened that I was learning Italian in 2015. I found an Italian teacher, Alberto Arrighini, that totally inspired me. I thought, “There should be a German channel like that!” So I set out to create it. Over time, I’m proud to say, I created my own style. Now Authentic German Learning is what you see on this site. I try to inspire and motivate as much as possible. By the way, you too can teach your native language if you want to. I enjoy what I do, so I’m always happy to help others achieve something similar. Just let me know if you want to create an online business." }, { "question": "Are there similar teachers and sites for other languages?", "answer": "You can check out Johan Tekfak from Francais Authentique (French) and Alberto from Italiano Automatico (Italian). These two I can personally recommend. I’ve been asked for a similar way to learn English. Though I can’t personally recommend him since I already learned English in school, I hear AJ Hoge from Effortless English does a good job. Almost every day, I check all messages that people send me, so I respond very quickly and I always respond. I want you to be happy with any product you buy, so I offer a 30-day money back guarantee. Actually, even after the 30 days are over I would rather refund you your money than have you be dissatisfied. I have created many German videos with subtitles and I will always continue to make videos with subtitles. So, before you ask me to make more (unless it’s a specific topic), make sure you watch those 133 videos first." }, { "question": "Oh, and did you know?", "answer": "I’m now putting the videos with subtitles into blog posts, along with PDF and mp3 downloads. Furthermore, I create special interactive lessons based on these videos! I created this site in 2015 to help German learners like you to efficiently acquire the language with the natural method. I’m passionate about personal development so I try to combine it with German learning as much as possible. You can read more about my journey and motivation on the about page." }, { "question": "Where have you lived?", "answer": "I was born in Rostock and lived many years in a small village called Rövershagen. Most of my life I lived in Berlin, a city I love very much. It’s very exciting to me to discover new places, so I have also lived a year in Middleton, Wisconsin (USA) as an exchange student, a semester in Vienna (Austria) as a university student (I studied mathematics), and some time as a digital nomad in various Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. Living in other countries is a great opportunity for personal growth, so I want to help you learn German so that you can live in the many places where it’s the dominant language." }, { "question": "Should I say “du” or “Sie” to you?", "answer": "“Du” is fine. Here you can find out more about how to decide between the two. THIS is my main job! I invest countless hours every week because I want this project to be successful. I even had to burn through almost all of my savings and move to places with lower living costs to make it work.

First, please check if your question is in this FAQ. Please don’t send me an email or private message if the answer to your question could benefit others. so others can see the answer and will benefit as well. These three options are always the best way. Since my time is very limited and precious to me 😉 , I will also be more inclined to give you a more detailed answer this way. Thank you for understanding! That said, I want to help you – so if you have a private question, there is always the option to send me a message on my Facebook page, my Instagram or via email. One message is enough; if I haven’t answered yet it just means I haven’t gotten around to it yet." }, { "question": "How can I talk with you?", "answer": "you can sign up for regular personal conversational lessons here. If you want to buy something and are not sure, you can schedule a call here. you can schedule a call here and we can work something out how I can teach all of you. This is a good option if you’re on a tight budget: Find as many fellow German learners as possible that are on the same level, possible in the same German course, and let me know all of you need tutoring. you can schedule a call here." }, { "question": "Why are you abroad and why did you choose your current location?", "answer": "I love seeing new places! As someone who works online, I enjoy the freedom of being location independent. As a digital nomad, I change my location every 3 to 6 months. Also, I want to invest as much time and money into this project as possible. So I pick places with low living costs, easy visa requirements, good Internet, and sufficient security. Even better if the climate is warm and the people nice. Wherever I am, that’s where I found a place to spend a lot of time working* and save money that I can reinvest into Authentic German Learning. *Unless I don’t have a work permit or am not allowed to work because of my visa. Then I’m on vacation. Please don’t suggest I come to your country. I appreciate the sentiment but it’s important for me to make up my own mind where I go. Or at least please provide me with a good reason of how I would benefit with respect to my criteria stated above." }, { "question": "When are you coming back to Germany?", "answer": "I don’t know yet. Maybe in 2019. I get this question sometimes. It confuses me because it usually comes from people who haven’t done much for me (or nothing at all, they have neither donated nor purchased anything), which makes our relationship very one sided. Since I publish so much free content they feel like they know me, so I get why they might think I’m their friend. After all, I’m aiming to be a friendly helper to German learners. What they don’t realize is that a friendship is based on reciprocity and shared values, so I can’t be your friend if it’s just an excuse to get even more free German learning help from me. Yes, I am your friend if we have developed a good relationship that’s mutually beneficial and enjoyable. No, I’m not and will not become your friend if you have to ask the question in the first place. If you have read all the questions I answered on this page but I haven’t answered your question, then feel free to write your public question below or ask me a question in private here. My preference is that you ask it here or in the Facebook group by creating a new post (not comment) since then more people get to see my answer." } ]

[ { "question": "The World Cup is near and to follow and support the best Italy in matches that will have to face, why not have fun even with a makeup that best expresses our support and encouragement to the team?", "answer": "If you are looking for solutions to survive the World Cup or things to do during the game, the better you express your love football even with an original makeup. Often you opt for a very simple trick graphically replicating our flag on a the cheek or on the lips. The trick I thought for this occasion will focus the ‘focus on the eyes leaving the mouth-color and giving a glamorous effect also in this type of makeup defined on http://www.sourcemakeup.com/. We begin as usual stretching our base from the center of our face to the outside and not forgetting the neck. I recommend the skin well moisturized before applying foundation especially if you have a very dry skin, or it may cause those unsightly hangnails from cracking. Use the correctors to cover imperfections and proceed with a very light concealer(almost white) of the entire upper eyelid just below the eyebrow, blurring the product well. If you have a correction of this kind also used a light creamy eye shadow that will allow you greater resilience eyeshadow that you are going to put in later. Picked up a brush with flat bristles a green eyeshadow (similar to that of the Italian flag) and go to place it in the first part of the eye to the base of the nose up to the eyebrow which also will go to color green. For this part I used two types of green one light and one a little ‘darker to give more depth. Then, use a white eye shadow and go tamponarlo in the central part of the eye and right up around the eyebrow. You will see that thanks to the concealer and eye shadow set before it will stand out a lot more. Finally we use the red eye in the final part going to create a very long final comma fading for the product well. We go a little ‘in the crease, creating a crescent to give more depth and movement to make up. With a white pencil go inside the lower eye rhyme and with an eye shadow the same color also step outside from the inside and coming in half. With a red pencil instead it creates a line in the final meeting outside of the white eye shadow. Fixed the pencil with a red eye shadow. Delineo perfectly my eyebrows with a brown eyeshadow and I end my eyes with much mascara on the upper lashes. On the mouth using a red lipstick, the same red eyeshadow and I finish the make up with a hint of blush on the pink-red. A make-up so it’s perfect to celebrate or simply follow their team during games." } ]

[ { "question": "How long do injured pedestrians have to file a lawsuit?", "answer": "Every state has statutes of limitations that place strict time limits on how long injured parties are given to pursue civil remedies. Kentucky and Louisiana victims have only one year to bring legal actions connected with pedestrian accidents while those in North Dakota can wait for as long as six years. In most states, a two- or three-year statute of limitations is the norm. This period generally begins on the date of the accident, but extensions may be granted when plaintiffs were not immediately aware of the full scope of their injuries." }, { "question": "What kind of damages are awarded in pedestrian accident lawsuits?", "answer": "Pedestrians who have been injured by negligent drivers are generally awarded compensatory rather than punitive damages when they prevail in court. Compensatory damages help accident victims to cope with financial setbacks like health care expenses and lost wages, but they can also be awarded to compensate them for their pain and suffering and emotional distress. Personal injury attorneys may use paychecks and medical bills to determine compensatory damages claims, but putting a value on pain or anguish can be a far more subjective process. Damages can also cover future expenses, and pedestrian accident victims may also seek compensation for their long-term medical care and the lingering effects of their injuries." }, { "question": "Do all civil lawsuits go to court?", "answer": "Civil jury trials are expensive and unpredictable, and attorneys for both plaintiffs and defendants may seek to avoid these costs and risks by reaching an out-of-court settlement. Injury accident lawyers could discuss these matters with the auto insurance company involved as well as the defendant. In addition to specifying the amount of damages, civil settlement agreements sometimes contain non-disclosure provisions that prevent the parties involved from publicly discussing the amount of compensation that was proffered. Depositions are part of the pre-trial discovery process, and they are designed to allow the attorneys on both sides to gather the information they will need to advocate effectively on behalf of their clients. Depositions are generally held at an attorney’s office, and a reporter is usually present to provide a record of what is said. Civil plaintiffs can expect to be asked difficult and even accusatory questions during a deposition, but these questions could also provide their attorneys with a valuable insight into the likely defense strategy. Plaintiffs should also be aware that attorneys may ask questions in depositions that would not be allowed in a courtroom." }, { "question": "What kind of evidence is presented in pedestrian accident lawsuits?", "answer": "Jury trials are a search for the truth, and all of the evidence presented must be relevant and verifiable. Police reports and witness statements may be introduced to establish the sequence of events, and doctors may be called upon to explain the nature of the injuries suffered. While prior bad acts are generally inadmissible in civil lawsuits as they are in criminal trials, they may be presented if they are relevant to the facts at hand. For example, details of a defendant’s drug or alcohol use would usually be considered prejudicial, but this kind of evidence may be allowed if police discovered that the driver was impaired at the time of a pedestrian-vehicle accident." } ]

[ { "question": "Did you make it the entire time?", "answer": "No. I technically didn’t start on time because I was running in a Half Marathon and wanted a little celebratory soda pop post race. Ash Wednesday was three days before the race so I started my fast on the Monday after Ash Wednesday." }, { "question": "Did you eliminate all sugary caffeinated drinks?", "answer": "No. Sweet Ice Tea became a new favorite but it still wasn’t a replacement and there were days when I cursed my Snapple because it was not a Coca Cola." }, { "question": "What helped you through the fast?", "answer": "Somewhere, I read a quote from Lauren Winner that said something about whenever we are overcome with craving for the item we are fasting from we should be reminded of how our desire for God should be just as great. The fast reminded me often of how much I need God in my life. Not as difficult as I expected. There is an amazing discovery that happens when you realize that you don’t have to meet every desire and that if you go without, the world still spins and life isn’t that bad. It is good because I am becoming less and God is becoming more. The biggest insight was the daily reminder of Jesus and his sacrifice. We, as Christians, do such a poor job of remembering our Lord, even during Christmas and Easter. This fast brought to my mind on a regular basis why I was doing this. Then I would remember Jesus’ sacrifice and be underwhelmed by my poor excuse for a sacrifice. It is a shame that I am so feeble-minded that I can so easily misplace Jesus in my head but this fast kept him in the forefront. First of all, it was kind of a relief. With all of the hype and attention given to the Super Bowl I was ready for a break from 24/7 sports talk. Because I live in the Dallas area, I was interested in the analysis of DFW as a Super Bowl host city but I moved past that without much trouble. What was really hard for me was not obsessing over the Michael Young saga. I am a lifetime Texas Rangers’ fan and a long time admirer of Michael Young. There is a possibility that he will be traded from the team that he has served faithfully for more than 10 years. Normally, I would follow all of the chatter and rumors surrounding this story and I did intentionally search this story out a couple of times but only to catch a headline about it and not to read every word on the topic. What I found to be the most silly aspect was a sudden panic I felt last Thursday when I thought it was NBA All Star Weekend. I literally had this thought, “Oh no, am I missing the NBA All Star Game?” It was the exact same feeling I get when I miss an assignment or duty at work or forget to get an item at the grocery store; over a basketball game! Honestly, I needed the break from sports and I think God knew what he was doing when he led me to do this. My life became really hectic and stressed this past week when our daughter when in for surgery, the class that I am teaching started to have papers to grade, and the small group that I am leading began. Plus, I am becoming more and more committed to pursuing many of the themes and emphasis of this blog and learning how I can share what I have learned with others. I appreciated the extra space in my life to see what God has in store for me in these areas. Through my fast, I have, for a time, placed sports in its proper perspective while pursuing things that have broader meaning and significance. I haven’t decided exactly how I am going to break my fast officially but when I did turn on sports talk radio last night and heard talk about the NFL seven months in advance of its next season, I didn’t have too much of a desire to jump back into my previously sports obsessed existence." }, { "question": "How did it go?", "answer": "I used to carry a small transistor radio around my house so that I wouldn’t miss a pitch of a Texas Rangers’ game. No, this wasn’t just in my halcyon youth but well into my 30s. I used to read Sports Illustrated cover to cover every week and fumed when I realized that my issue was sometimes missing articles that others received. I may have been one of only 15 people who actually watched the live broadcast of the US vs. Spain basketball Gold medal game of the 2008 Olympics; played at 3:00 in the morning. I recently read about a couple in Alabama who missed their daughter’s wedding because it conflicted with an U. of Alabama football game. Quick philosophy discussion – Our culture is awash in Postmodernism. This, in the simplest terms, is a breakdown of Big Stories. In other words, there is no large theme that holds culture together. Former Big Stories such as religion, duty, science, or the American Way have been reduced to little stories. So we have thousands of little stories and a fragmented society." }, { "question": "Who is to say that my story is less important than your story?", "answer": "This contributes to an increase in fanaticism in our culture. We are placing emphasis that should be reserved for larger, more meaningful stories on to ideas, events, and happenings that hold very little meaning; such as celebrity, pets, veganism, etc. Sports may be the biggest small to Big Story of them all and while cultures in the past were symbolized by their churches or government buildings, our culture, at least in the DFW Metroplex, is defined by the world’s largest domed stadium. On Sunday, that domed stadium will be hosting the biggest sporting event of the year. But on Monday, I will be shutting off my sports talk radio and my sports Twitter feeds, and my multiple times a day ESPN.com habit and trying to create a week thinking about the Biggest Story the Universe has ever known – God’s work of redemption and action on his creation. Now that is something to be fanatical about. have also learned that my daughters’ school will be closed as well. What makes these types of days so much fun for kids, and adults too, is that our routines are broken up and the possibilities for fun and enjoyment seem endless. We have all daydreamed while sitting at work about what we would be doing if we weren’t at work right then and we are not usually thinking about laundry or yard work. These snow days create a new reality for us, they allow us to think about our existence in a new way, they allow us to live out a day without the normal constraints that seem to hold such a tight grip on us. Sure, some of this thinking is false but for one day at least everything seems bright and relaxed and open to joy, all because of a simple change in our weekly pattern. This is similar to what we allow to happen when we fast. We are not tortuously depriving ourselves to make us more holy or more austere. We are simply, intentionally creating an environment that is different enough to allow our perspective on God and his work in our life to become more visible and meaningful. By eliminating something such as food, or anything that is routine or pervasive in our lives, even for a short time, we are giving our existence just enough of a jolt that meaningful things such as our spiritual life, which usually gets pushed aside, can be dealt with and contemplated in a refreshing way." } ]

[ { "question": "What programming languages should I learn?", "answer": "I will add any other suggestions that people have. ZoneAlarm: (freeware) I like this firewall for it's ease of use. It has a very user-friendly interface, and the logging and reporting are both very good. I like its ability to engage its \"lock\" either on your command or on a timer. Another nice feature of its lock is that you can tell it to let some programs through it. So if you wanted to cut yourself off, but still leave your website up, ZoneAlarm would let you do that. I also like the fact that it can give you details on the activity that it has blocked. It can also alert you when it has blocked activity by either displaying a pop-up, or flashing its icon in the system tray. This firewall is generally best for beginners, or somebody who doesn't feel like taking the time to configure a firewall. You can get this firewall (for Windows) here. newbie-friendly. This firewall is generally best for intermediate to advanced users, or those who need more control than ZoneAlarm can offer. If you're interested, you can download Tiny (for Windows) here. BlackICE: This firewall is basically the best of both Tiny and ZoneAlarm. Its rule-setting is wonderful. For beginners, there are four basic settings; trusting, cautious, nervous, and paranoid. That's all. For extra control, its advanced rule-setting is much like Tiny's. When you're attacked, it can sound an audible alert, and logs the activity, and will display the attack for you, categorized by severity. If you want, it will let you block the attacker for a set amount of time, or forever. It can alse give you detailed information on the attack, and whether or not it's worth fussing over. I have heard that it doesn't block the Sub 7 trojan, but have not confirmed that, so separate trojan protection with this firewall wouldn't be a bad idea. Other than that, it's a magnificant firewall. You can learn more about BlackICE here. If you ask this question you will be flamed. Flamed very badly and for a very long time. Do not ask this question. Search for it at www.google.com. Do not ask this question. You will be immediately despised if you ask this question. There is no best operating system. Windows is the most dominant and easy to use but it has lots of problems. Linux is the most liked in the computer world. Versions of Linux include Mandrake, Red Hat, and SuSE. Personal opinion. I like Opera because you can turn off the images that slow the computer down. IE is the most common and really isn’t a bad browser. People generally hate Netscape, but feel free to use it. HTML(even though it’s not technically a language.) People have different opinions about the others. But you can feel free to research(again, at www.google.com) any of the following, or others not mentioned. Visual Basic. Java. PERL. Assembly. C. C++. Linux Programming. If your question isn’t here, then ask it, and be specific. If your question wasn’t answered in detail here then PM me or an pleasant, knowledgeable person here. Then if you are STILL curious ask it in the forum. But be SPECIFIC. Great post Alcatraz! I'm sure that helped lots of newbies! As far as programming languages to learn, don't forget C and C++. I'm going to get a book on C this Saturday. I hope to edit the Linux kernel and make FLOOKWARE! And when I do, you all get a copy! If I could make a recommendation, the SAMS Teach Yourself Linux Programming in 24 Hours set (ISBN 0-672-31824-5) is pretty decent. It contains two books (C Programming, and Linux Programming) that are really useful. It also comes with a CD with sources, etc.. It's what I've used to learn C, and it's pretty hand as both a learning tool and as reference material. Actually, I was looking into their 21 days series, as my friend says they generally go into more detail than the 24 hours series. I have their 24 hours book for HTML, and it actually takes about an hour if you cut the crap and go straight for the useful stuff. I knew I was forgetting some obvious languages! I'll add em now. Good for us newbie's. This stuff and things like it should be placed at the top all the time. If u familiar with Perl, it will help all sort of administrative (System / Network / Security / Web ) taks. My next choice is Visual Basic. If your network is hetrogenous or *nix based then Perl is the best programming / scripting language for Administrators. It your network is M$ based, then Visual Basic is your programming / scripting choice. If u can dream it, u can do it. Excellent Ennis , Keep writing tutorials like that and you will get great feedback from me. \"Serenity is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.\"" } ]

[ { "question": "Should I purchase car rental insurance when renting?", "answer": "Generally, yes, you should purchase the rental insurance from the rental company. However, there there are multiple factors that can effect how much coverage you already have for a rental." }, { "question": "What will my personal auto policy cover?", "answer": "Most of the time, if you have at least one vehicle on your policy with physical damage coverage, which includes comprehensive and collision coverage, then this coverage along with your liability coverage would extend to a rental car. It will not cover for loss of use or diminished value of the rental car unless you purchase additional coverage on your auto policy. When you rent a vehicle for a business trip, you are renting the vehicle in your name, and not the name of your employer. You are personally responsible for the vehicle and damages to it. Loss-of-use is a fee imposed by the rental car company on the customer to cover its lost income while the vehicle is out of commission from an accident, even if the accident may not have been the customer’s fault. Diminished value applies if you get into an accident and the rental car company wants to put the vehicle up for auction. If the car is sold for less than the actual value you can be held liable for the difference in price. Damage waiver or, as it is often referred to, collision damage waiver (CDW) or loss damage waiver (LDW), is optional damage insurance coverage that is available to you when you rent a car. Car rental companies treat the CDW as a waiver of their right to make the renter pay for damages to the car. Contact us to see what your auto policy will cover when you rent a vehicle!" } ]

This means a healthcare service that is necessary for treatment of the health condition involved, is not experimental or unorthodox, and is widely accepted professionally as effective, appropriate and essential based upon recognised standards of the healthcare specialty involved. Where there are no signs or symptoms that would indicate that it’s an approved treatment, the member can still have the service, but it will not be covered by health insurance.

[ { "question": "How to create weaving metamodel extensions?", "answer": "The AMW prototype is developed based on the core weaving metamodel. The weaving metamodel extensions that are used by the prototype must extend this core, or extend other weaving extensions. We illustrate the development of metamodel extensions using the metamodel extension. This extension is the simplest extension provided by the weaver, supporting generic link management. The following classes of the core metamodel can be extended: WModel, WModelRef, WElementRef, WLink, WLinkEnd, WElementRef. The WModel extensions are the root element of a weaving model. The references leftModel and rightModel refer to the woven models. They must subset the wovenModel reference from the core weaving metamodel. The subsets annotation means that these references are derived from the wovenModel reference. The AMW prototype uses this annotation to load the woven models correctly. If a weaving metamodel has more than one extension of WModel, the second page of the AMW wizard proposes to choose one root element. Obs. : The annotations must be defined after a blank line. This is due to some limitations on the parser. The WModelRef extensions are used to identify the woven models. A different extension to WModel must be created for every different identification mechanism that we want to support. For instance, the ModelRef class is used to identify model elements through XPointers, and ModelRefXMI uses XMI IDs. When creating a weaving model using the AMW wizard, the user selects the WModelRefs he wants to create in the third page of the AMW wizard. This page is also used to set up the ref attribute. This attribute stores the URI of the woven models. The -- @welementRefType ElementRef annotation indicates the type of WElementRef that is created in the ownedElementRef reference. Obs. : This elements are not explicitly shown in the AMW prototype. They are automatically created after the wizard is executed. The WElementRef extensions are the elements that point to the elements of the woven models (woven elements). The weaving model has one WElementRef for every woven element. The ID of the woven element is stored in the ref attribute. The format of the ID depends on the type of the containing WModelRef. The exact type of the WModelRef is specified in the wmodelRefType annotation. This annotation is necessary because a WElementRef element may be referenced by different WModelRefs. Obs. : This elements are not explicitly shown in the AMW prototype. They are automatically created when creating different WLinkEnd elements. The extensions of WLink elements are of major importance in a weaving model. This is because these elements define the domain specific linking semantics. Usually, all new extensions of the weaving core have a different extension of WLink. The Link below defines basic link management. It is used to link a left and a right elements. The WLink extensions may have references that subsets the end reference, e.g., the left and right references below. These references specify which kind of elements are linked, and their cardinality. A WLink can also have child links through the child reference. There are many different kinds of links that can be defined, for instance Equality, Equivalence, Annotation, Merge, etc. Metamodels extensions with different kinds of links can be found in the weaving metamodel zoo. The WLinkEnd elements specify the end points of a WLink. In other words, it indicates the type of elements that are linked. The reference element refers to the WElementRef elements, which contain the identifiers of the woven elements. The WElementRef are not referenced directly by WLinks because it is possible to refer the same woven model element by different link endpoints. For example, one model element may be linked by more than one WLink." }, { "question": "Which are the other plugins that should be installed?", "answer": "However, it is advisable to install all ATL and KM3 plugins, because AMW contains complex scenarios that use all the components of the AMMA platform, such as ATL transformations, or AM3 Ant Tasks." }, { "question": "Which version of AMW, AM3 and ATL should be installed to avoid version problems?", "answer": "The required versions of the three plugins are mentioned in the corresponding download pages: AMW, AM3, ATL." }, { "question": "Why the menu \"Extract ATL-0.2 model into ATL-0.2 file\" does not appear when I try to extract an ATL model that was created from a weaving model?", "answer": "Specific extraction and injection menus are available only in the \"AM3 Resource Navigator\", not in the \"Package Explorer\" view." }, { "question": "Why I have an \"antlr/tokenstream\" error?", "answer": "AMW depends on the ATL plugins. So the ATL engine must be installed follwing the ATL installation guide. This error happens because the ATL engine cannot find antlr.jar. This file must be copied in \"lib\" folder of \"org.atl.eclipse.engine\" plugin." }, { "question": "How to develop higher-order transformations to transform a weaving model into a transformation model?", "answer": "This answer uses the ForeignKey2Nested example as illustration. The main requirement is to know well the input metamodel (the weaving metamodel) and the output metamodel (the ATL metamodel). The weaving metamodel varies according to the application scenario. The ATL metamodel is fixed. In the example, the weaving metamodel is created based by the right metamodel, i.e., with nested structure. The weaving model has \"Nested\" subjects (which is under a link between \"BookRcd\" and \"Book\"). Then, we have the input values as equality of \"FK\"s.\nSo, usually there are extensions of \"WLink\"s and \"WLinkEnd\"s in the weaving metamodel, and rules, input and output patterns in the ATL metamodel. an ATL has a \"Module\" as root element. A module has a \"name\". Than it has the input and output models and metamodels (In, A, OUT, B). in : A!Class <- this is the \"input pattern\"\nout : B!Table ( <- this is the \"output pattern\"\nname <- in.name, <- these are the \"bindings\"\nThe initial part (module and input models), is usually fixed, so they can be created using a single rule. - The rules will be based in the weaving model, so WLinks and its extensions in rules. In the keys to nested example, this corresponds to the \"ElementLink\" element. - The input pattern is a \"left\" WLinkEnd. - The output pattern is a \"right\" WLinkEnd. The bindings are child links (\"Equals\" are bindings). Finally, one hint to better understand the ATL metamodel (that is a key point) is to write a simple transformation by hand and to click over some element in the debug mode. The outline in the right shows the corresponding model elements." }, { "question": "Why the weaving panel raises an exception when I create a new weaving model using an Ecore metamodel and not a KM3 extension?", "answer": "It is not possible to extract a weaving metamodel that was completely created in KM3 (mwcore + extension) using the AM3 menus. The weaving metamodel contains specific annotations that are not yet handled by the injector (this will be corrected). To be able to load a weaving metamodel from an Ecore file, it is necessary to extract the metamodel using the menus available in the weaving panel." }, { "question": "Why when I select a WLinkEnd in the weaving panel, the corresponding element in the woven panel is not selected?", "answer": "The user created a weaving model with the wrong WModelRef elements. For instance, if the identification mechanisms used is XMI IDs, the weaving model must have ModelRefXMI elements, and not ModelRef elements (that uses XPointer). Now the woven resources are identified according to their URIs. Some examples were not yet updated to support this change. The user can do it by himself, by changing the value of the ref property of the woven models. The number before the URI is no longer used.

[ { "question": "What if smoke enters the home and no one is there?", "answer": "Crews conducting the test listen for smoke detector activation and observe the heating system chimney. If they believe smoke entered the home, a handwritten note on a business card will be left where it will be found." }, { "question": "How do I get the smoke out, if it enters?", "answer": "If the smoke has entered the basement, open an outside cellar access way and as many basement windows as possible. Placing an electric fan in an open window or open access will allow the smoke to dissipate faster." }, { "question": "If smoke enters my home, does that mean I have to call a plumber for an emergency service call?", "answer": "No. In 99% of the instances where smoke enters the home, the defect is minor, usually a dry plumbing trap, open or cracked clean out cap, a disconnected/uncapped drain pipe, or a defective wax seal under the toilet." }, { "question": "Can I still use my water?", "answer": "Yes. This test does not affect the water distribution system. I (or a family member) has asthma/emphysema/allergies/difficulty breathing." }, { "question": "What should I/they do if smoke enters the home?", "answer": "Although the smoke is non-toxic, it is still smoke. Move the person to an area where there is no smoke, outside to fresh air is preferable." }, { "question": "What time will the smoke tests be conducted?", "answer": "Between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

[ { "question": "What is the Sacroiliac Joint and how does it work?", "answer": "The sacroiliac joints are two of the most important support centers of the body, positioned where the body’s weight transfers from the spine obliquely through the pelvis to the legs. Studies conclude that the sacroiliac joints are important sensors of large force streams between the trunk and legs in which the largest muscles of the body are involved. In this respect, the sacroiliac joint functions as a multi-directional force transducer. The base of the spinal column, the sacrum, is supported at its attachment to the iliac bones of the pelvis solely by strong ligaments that make up the sacroiliac joints. Within these ligaments are nerves which control and orient the body’s posture. Sprain of these ligaments caused instability (looseness) which leads to muscle spasm, pain, and postural imbalances throughout the body." }, { "question": "What are some dos and don’ts for the Sacroiliac Joint?", "answer": "Please see all of Dr. Serola’s Dos and Don’ts for the Sacroiliac Joint. Prior to 1934, when lumbar disc herniation was discovered, the sacroiliac joint was thought to be the major source of low back pain. About that time, concern was diverted to surgical remedies for discs which, although providing dramatic relief in some cases, have proven to be limited in relieving many low back complaints. With the recent emergence of biomechanical science, the sacroiliac joints are again considered to play a pivotal role in the total musculoskeletal complex." } ]

[ { "question": "So is it like Martial Arts?", "answer": "Not really. It bears little resemblance to things like Kick boxing. Since the objective is NOT to hurt (or even bruise) your opponent, real life combat skills are not as helpful as they would be in a real fight. However, many of the principles of the martial arts apply, and anyone trained in Martial arts should have no problem mastering LARP combat." }, { "question": "How do you know when you’re dead?", "answer": "Mystwood uses a “Hit Point” system. For example, a certain character might have 5 Hit Points. They could be struck with a sword 5 times before being taken out. If they were hit by something that did 3 points of damage, they would subtract this from their total, and have 2 Hit Points left. I’m no Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Lee." }, { "question": "Do I still stand a chance in combat?", "answer": "Absolutely. LARP combat is a sport, and like any sport, there are those who are very good at it. However, it is a sport that is easy to become competent in. A few weeks of practice are enough to enable most people to hold their own. The weapons are light enough for just about anyone to use, so you don’t have to build up strength, as you would have to in order to wield a real sword. Since you aren’t really trying to hurt people, large folk can actually be at a disadvantage, since they present a larger target, and get no benefit from their generally greater strength. Teamwork and tactics are often more important than raw skill and fitness. This isn’t a movie where extras attack the heroes one at a time to be conveniently slaughtered, leaving themselves wide open. Two fighters working together can defeat most single foes, and anyone can be defeated by a well-placed attack from behind." }, { "question": "Is combat the only thing going on?", "answer": "Not at all. Combat is exciting, and plays a large role, but an equal emphasis is placed on roleplaying characters, costumes, sets, special effects, the “story” of the game, challenges of physical skill (such as leaping from platform to platform), or mental ability (solving puzzles), entertainment and feasts. Magic is simulated in a variety of ways. Some spells work automatically- the person points at you, and says the effect of the spell. Most, though, require that the magician throw a “spell packet”, a birdseed bean bag (slightly less than hacky sack sized), at you. If it misses, the spell fails." }, { "question": "Yes- you wouldn't want someone in khakis and a band t-shirt wandering through a \"Star Wars\" movie set, would you?", "answer": "However, costumes can generally be borrowed from the game if need be; though it’s better to find your own." }, { "question": "What are “PCs” and “NPCs”?", "answer": "PC stands for “Player Character”. A person who participates as a PC plays a single character for an entire event- a hero or heroine of the story. The player creates a “Character”, who has various skills and abilities defined in the rules. Such characters are the central focus of the story, and the action revolves around them. Think of them as the main characters of a movie. As time passes, Player characters progress and gain power and experience. NPCs are “Non-Player Characters”- the extras, crew and cast of the game. During an event, an NPC will play many roles, often enemies of the PCs. Thus in a fantasy game they might be peasants, marauding brigands, wise sages, winsome maidens, foppish rakes, or hideous monsters. These NPC parts are assigned by the game Staff, the people who actually organize the event, and NPCs must play the part assigned as best they can, until it is time to receive a new one." }, { "question": "What’s the difference between Mystwood and a Renaissance Faire?", "answer": "A Renaissance Faire is a large production, which most people go to watch. An extreme roleplaying event is generally much smaller and there are no spectators- everyone is involved in the action. Another difference is that Renaissance Faires stage choreographed battles between professionals, often using steel weapons, while LARP combat is unchoreographed, with NO steel weapons allowed. Everyone at a LARP is “in game”, and you are a direct participant in the action, not a spectator. You don’t watch the goodly knight thwart the evil sheriff- you do it yourself, or try to anyway. There is no script, so success or failure depends on your skill, cunning, teamwork, and luck. There also aren’t large numbers of people trying to sell you stuff." }, { "question": "So there’s an ongoing story?", "answer": "Absolutely. The “Player Characters” continue from event to event, learning more about their world, learning new skills, gaining new abilities, encountering new and old friends and enemies, and generally living a fantasy adventure." }, { "question": "How does Mystwood compare with the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA)?", "answer": "First, LARP combat is much less demanding, and consequently, not as realistic as that of the SCA. On the plus side, that means you can do a lot more of it. Second, in an Extreme Roleplaying LARP you are continuously “in character”. The goal is to create as complete a world of sight, sound, touch and even taste as possible. There is also an ongoing story- things happen to the PC s, events transpire, choices are made. The SCA on the other hand, works to recreate historical arts and situations rather than a fantasy world." }, { "question": "What does this have to do with vampires?", "answer": "Almost nothing. “World of Darkness” or “Vampire LARP” is a different, related hobby. Each has its own merits, but they have relatively little in common beyond the idea of role playing. There certainly are Vampires in Mystwood, but they exist as foes and monsters! Costuming and effects could be compared to a “B grade” movie- and they are getting better all the time. At Mystwood, all inhabitants, monsters, and other creatures wear costumes, often quite elaborate. A variety of masks and makeup are used to simulate non-human beings. Clothing is worn that is appropriate to a fantasy world. The Village where the game takes place is specially constructed as a “set” to appear as a fortified settlement from the past. Other “sets” are used for ruins and tunnels. Music, fog machines, light, and other “special effects” are also sometimes used." }, { "question": "What are the benefits of LARP?", "answer": "Live Action Roleplaying is an exciting and demanding activity that often brings great personal growth. The athletic challenge of sword fighting helps build fitness and often appeals to young people who don’t enjoy traditional sports. Success requires practice, focus, and discipline, much like a traditional martial art. Most live action roleplaying adventures require teamwork to overcome a variety of challenges, not unlike “Outward Bound” activities. There is also a great opportunity for social growth, as people of a variety of ages and backgrounds come together in a way that is all too rare today. The need to create one’s costume and gear is a way to exercise artistic talents and craft skills. Every participant is valued for their contributions regardless of their age. Success in a difficult battle, solving a complex puzzle, or leading others to victory are great self-esteem builders. Unlike computer gaming, live action roleplaying takes place outdoors, has physical, social, and emotional benefits computers cannot provide. Like any contact sport, there are risks associated with live action role playing. Injuries are rare, but they do occur, almost always from falls in rough terrain. Good judgment in running and jumping is the most important safety skill." }, { "question": "Is there supervision for young players?", "answer": "Mystwood endeavors to provide a safe, supportive environment for all participants. No drugs or alcohol are allowed at any event, and high standards of courtesy and safety are required. However, neither MASI nor Burgundar L3C provides supervision of any sort, and should not be thought of as a “camp” or daycare activity. Mystwood is primarily an adult organization. Young people that participate are expected to be mature enough to take care of themselves. Age limits for events generally vary from 14-18 years old minimum, and ultimately it is your responsibility as a parent to determine if your child is mature enough to participate safely. A good rule of thumb is “Would you be comfortable with your child spending a weekend camping with friends?” If the answer is yes, then they should be ready for Mystwood events. It may be a good idea to accompany your child to an event. This will give you a better idea of what an event is like- and it is also a great family activity. Another alternative is to start with an afternoon of adventuring, rather than a full weekend event. Anyone under 18 must have a waiver of liability signed by a parent or guardian, found at the end of this book." } ]

[ { "question": "What does DSE mean ?", "answer": "Following the DSE regulations, the associated approved code of practice and meeting the schedule of requirements." }, { "question": "Do all DSE users have to have an assessment?", "answer": "Yes. There are a few people who use computers that are not classified as users. But we would suggest all users have an assessment and receive information and training. Most companies use a checklist that follows the basic HSE checklist, however, this is too heavily focused on equipment placement, and for inexperienced assessors a visual checklist should be used." }, { "question": "We are about to provide our sales force with laptops what should we do?", "answer": "Laptop users are vulnerable to physical (posture and manual handling), and from security (loneworking, physical assault) and so a succinct Laptop policy must be put in place. You should bear in mind the electronic software can only be used for Level 1 assessments, that is, the user fills out the self assessment form, his or her self. However, to do this he or she must be trained and given sufficient information. A DSE assessment is a combination of ensuring workstations meets the DSE Regs and providing information and training must be factored into the assessment. A computer program cannot tell a person if he or she is sitting incorrectly, whether the upper limbs are in the correct position, what risks a particular user is exposed to at a particular workstation, most do not consider alternative types of work, secondary workareas, disability or special requirement. Thus one should venture intot this with care because they cannot be relied on solely. Most companies will carry out a Level 2 assessment only." }, { "question": "What is an Advanced DSE assessment?", "answer": "An Advanced DSE assessment is a Level 3 assessment and is undertaken for workers with specific conditions or workplaces that pose specific problems. The Advanced DSE assessment is normally undertaken by a qualified specialist ergonomist with extensive experience." }, { "question": "What is a Level 2 assessment?", "answer": "A level 2 assessment is a systematic analysis of a workstation by a trained DSE assessor. This might be a standard type assessment, or a follow up from a Level 1 self assessment where a problem has been flagged up." }, { "question": "Who can provide DSE assessor training?", "answer": "There is no specific body that oversees this type of training and a number of different sections of occupational health and safety offer this training. We are the number one DSE assessment and assessor training company and suggest that you ensure that the person providing the training has a qualification in ergonomics with emphasis on workplace design, physiology, and biomechanics. The HSE states that assessors must be given training in ergonomics, therefore it makes sense that the company providing the training is an ergonomic practitioner. Get this training wrong, your company could face litigation and your staff can be demotivated while others become disabled." }, { "question": "A member of staff has come into work and advises that his physio has suggested that he uses a ball chair at work, we are not happy, what should we do?", "answer": "First off, find out why he is sitting on the chair, and if the physio has assessed where the person works, what advice the physio has given, and then a decision can be made on whether the ball chair is the best option. In most cases it is not, as the balls poses a hazard to others. There are a number of alternatives to this type of seat, however, the assessment is likely to be a Level 3 Ergonomic assessment, which requires a much more detailed assessment." }, { "question": "We are considering buying a software program that will carry out DSE assesssments for us, is this the best way forward?", "answer": "DSE assessment programs can save a lot of paperwork by automating the assessment process, leaving the assessor or manager to deal with only the issues that have flagged up in the risk assessment score. However, there is no substitute for one to one assessments, where misunderstanding and mistakes can be identified and rectified much quicker than with a software program." } ]

Remember that Villager is an extremely versatile character and doesn't always trend to one play style. Downairs, Short hop NAirs, FAir approaches, lloid --> Grab / SH NAir are the basic things you need to focus on. Always have tree planted, but don't be afraid to leave it. You can also catch rolling opponents by moving in the direction they're rolling while short hopping, and having down air active. Because the active frames of down air are so long, it will actually hit the opponent. I could go on for hours about aggressive villager strategies, but its best to just find one and play them / watch them playing. But yeah, from the time I've posted that, I've gotten much better at playing an up close Villager. The main reason I was asking is because I used to panic and make a ton of mistakes when the opponent closed in, as I was too focused on my projectile game at the time. But now with some more experience, and studying players like zeezee, my Villager is a lot better in the up close game.

Can absorb a projectile and launch it back too. - Pretty good kill moves and edgeguarding. When looking at all this, the only apparent weakness I can find in your character is a lack of mobility, and everything else about him seems at least well-rounded. Maybe a couple of shortcomings, but well rounded. And yet while fighters like and are currently the talk of the town, I don't hear many people talk about your character's competitive viability at all and have little understanding of him in-depth, and it looks like no one considers him that good. But since I have a poor understanding of the gameplan as/against Villager and am not that great at the game, from my point of view it looks like Villager is at least top 10 right now if not higher." }, { "question": "Not to troll but please tell me, how can this kid not be top tier?", "answer": "Villager's main and most glaring flaws are that despite being able to rack up damage, they can't reliable KO at reasonable percents, and they have an absolutely abysmal grab. Mediocre ground game compounded by a really laggy grab. His tilts are usable enough but not safe on shield at all. His Smashes all have narrow range (except for the vertical range of USmash), although you can drop FSmash on people who are recovering for an amusing and cruel edgeguard. A lot of our moves are projectiles that can be reflected although judging from your mains that's not super applicable to you. Lloid Rocket has atrocious start-up lag and Greninja and Sonic should be able to get in with a dash attack before we send it off. Yes yes also what Kofu said. The fact that SH turnips and slingshots make up the brunt of Villager's \"ground\" game says enough. I have a question about villager's pocket. I know that when you pocket something, you can throw it back for i believe it is 1.9x the damage and knock back. my question is about re-pocketing." }, { "question": "what about if he throws the item at the opponent, and then pockets it again?", "answer": "i have seen in many tests that a team of villagers can get OHKO's by having one charge up a fully charged bowling ball and the other one pocketing it." }, { "question": "can a villager simply just rep pocket any item, stacking on the damage and knock back like the boomerang?", "answer": "if so, you could just keep planting trees until a piece of wood falls off, and then just keep throwing it at your opponent and repocketing it, or just keep z-dropping and pocketing for a OHKO item. also, villager CAN pocket his own tree if it is reflected back at him. look it up. You are correct about the damage multipler (x1.91), though I haven't looked into the knockback multiplier. However, pocketing removes an item's previously applied multipliers, except for charging multipliers from things like smash attacks and specials (Aura Sphere, Robo Laser, etc). This means that if you repocket something you had previously pocketed, it will not be base damage * 1.91 * 1.91. The same thing applies to reflected items; pocketing a reflected tree will remove the reflector's multiplier. Also, I should have clarified. They can't pocket their own tree, in the sense of the tree's hitboxes belonging to them. If you chop down your tree and try to pocket it, you will be unable to because it \"belongs\" to you. However, if somebody reflects your tree, it will then \"belong\" to them, allowing you to pocket it. I'll update the OP with more concise wording now." }, { "question": "How does one do a reverse fsmash/is there any difference/is it useful?", "answer": "A reverse FSmash is just an FSmash input in the direction opposite to the one you are facing. So if you're facing left, inputting smash right + A yields a reverse FSmash. In my opinion, there is no difference; I suspectt hat the reason it hit 1-2F earlier is due to human error. Croi might have charged the first FSmash slightly without realising, while not doing so for the reverse FSmash, leading to it being released earlier. If it was charged for only 2F or so, then the charging gfx wouldn't have come up, allowing the mistake to slip under the radar. As for whether or not it's useful, that's a weird question. Its just an FSmash done in another direction. If you shield an attack from behind, you could punish with a reverse FSmash. Though really, it's just... punishing with an FSmash. It's like asking if dashing in the opposite direction is useful as opposed to dashing in the same direction as you're facing. It's just a dash, but in the direction that would make most sense." }, { "question": "How do i deal with rush down/combo characters such as and ?", "answer": "At the moment I can't comfortably write out a suitably lengthy post on the subject, so in the meantime I'd suggest checking out the matchup discussion thread, which is linked in the first post here!" }, { "question": "If not, could you make a rough percentage?", "answer": "Mashing B gets you only slightly higher.

[ { "question": "Q: Can I tile over existing floor tiles?", "answer": "A: Yes you can, only providing your existing tiles are completely sound with no movement or hollow areas underneath. It is advisable to de-grease existing surface, scratch up any smooth glazed surfaces in order to key new adhesive onto and apply a Slurry Coat as directed on adhesive packaging. It is advisable to use flexible adhesive & grout." }, { "question": "Q: Can I use tiles for outdoors?", "answer": "A: Most porcelain tiles can be used outside and some Limestones, slates & terracottas. Please check before ordering. Some materials would benefit from sealing with an outdoor suitable sealer - such as LTP Mattstone, LTP MPG or LTP Colour Intensifier." }, { "question": "Q: Can I tile onto Wooden Floorboards?", "answer": "A: Yes, providing the boards are sound and any movement minimized.

Specified wall tiles can only be used on the wall. For large format wall and floor tiles a Single part cement based floor adhesive should be used." }, { "question": "Q: Can I tile onto Bitumen, Gypsum Plasters or Anhydrite Floor Screeds?", "answer": "A: Yes it is possible with the correct preparation. Refer to Adhesive manufacturers technical information." }, { "question": "Q: What is the difference between a Ceramic and a Porcelain tile?", "answer": "A: The difference is in the biscuit, or base of the tile. A ceramic biscuit is normally made from red clay which is then glazed and fired. A porcelain biscuit is made from much finer grained clay which is then pressed under very high pressure; this makes it very hard and impervious to water. As a result porcelain tiles are generally frost proof and stronger than a ceramic." }, { "question": "Q: What are the types of Porcelain?", "answer": "A: Natural Porcelain or unglazed porcelain, as the name implies, has not been glazed or polished. These tiles are made of porcelain throughout. It is normally a good idea to seal natural porcelain tiles before grouting - see LTP MPG Sealer. Polished Porcelain is natural porcelain with a mechanically polished surface - not a glaze. The polishing process opens up the pores of the tile, as a result polished porcelain tiles will require sealing before grouting to increase resistance against staining - See LTP MPG Sealer. Glazed Porcelain can be partially glazed, using glaze elements in the manufacturing process, or they can be completely glazed. These do not require sealing. A: Unglazed Terracotta is actually kiln fired natural earth with all the impurities and blemishes of unrefined clay, particulary evident in the hand made terracotta, adding to its character. Machine compressed and finished terracotta generally has a smoother, more refined look. Both are good conductors of heat." }, { "question": "Q: Which tiles require sealing?", "answer": "A: All porous tiles like Terracotta, Limestone, Sandstone, Slate, Crackle Glazed tiles and most Polished Porcelain." } ]

[ { "question": "How they related to differential and common mode impedances?", "answer": "Even and odd modes are the two main modes of propagation of the signal through a coupled transmission line pair. Odd mode impedance is defined as impedance of a single transmission line when the two lines in a pair are driven differentially (with signals of the same amplitude and opposite polarity). Even mode impedance is defined as impedance of a single transmission line when the two lines in a pair are driven with a common mode signal (the same amplitude and the same polarity). Differential impedance is defined as impedance between the two lines when the line pair is driven differentially. This definition effectively makes it equal to twice the odd mode impedance. Common mode impedance is defined as impedance between the two lines when the line pair is driven with common mode stimulus. This makes the common mode impedance to be equal to half the even mode impedance. As a result, even though in presence of coupling between the lines the even mode impedance is always higher than the odd mode impedance, the common mode impedance can be lower than the differential impedance." } ]

[ { "question": "What kind of compensation can Dave get for eleven months spent in jail for no good reason?", "answer": "But look on the bright side; he’s coming home for the holidays, and he won’t spend years in prison and have the weight of a felony conviction on his record. One of the quirks of our legal system is that detention before trial is not considered to be punishment. Instead, detention is how the North Carolina criminal justice system ensures that a defendant will appear when called for trial. Clearly, if every defendant were simply released after being charged with a crime, some—perhaps most—would flee North Carolina. On the other hand, confining every defendant for a long period before his turn comes for his trial seems to be unfair. The solution to this conflict between competing goals is the bail system, which has its origins in Britain during the Middle Ages. When a judge sets a bail amount for a criminal defendant in North Carolina, she looks at the seriousness of the offense and ties the accused person to the local community. She also listens to arguments from both the prosecutor and the defense attorney about the appropriate bail value. It’s important to recognize that she does not have to consider whether bail would be affordable for the defendant. In fact, if bail was seen as “cheap”—that is, if the amount was regularly set low enough that prisoners could afford it easily—then it would be less effective in guaranteeing that a defendant will return to court when summoned. For this reason, bail in North Carolina is often set so high that it’s even out of the question for defendants to pay the 10 percent premium to obtain a bail bond. As far as the criminal justice system is concerned, bail isn’t a means to give an arrestee his freedom; it’s a means to control the defendant’s movements without the expense of housing him in jail for months. For minor offenses where the defendant has close ties to the community, nearby family, and a steady job, cash bail may be waived and the defendant released for free—“on his own recognizance,” is the legal term. By the same token, for some of the most serious crimes or riskiest defendants, the judge may refuse to offer bail at all. In between those two extremes, there’s a lot of room for maneuvering and negotiation. Your criminal defense lawyer in New Hanover County should be prepared to persuade a judge to lower his client’s bail to a reasonable amount. That’s a strategic argument the defense attorneys at Speaks Law Firm are well prepared to make. In the future, if you need to contact one of our Wilmington trial attorneys, call us toll-free at 877-593-4233. The Speaks Law Firm represents clients throughout the Wilmington, North Carolina area, including Murraysville, Hampstead, Ogden, Delco, Myrtle Grove, Wrightsville Beach, and Carolina Beach." } ]

[ { "question": "Is My Income Earned In A Foreign Country Deductible?", "answer": "If you work for part of the year in a foreign country, whether or not you are taxed on your income by the other country, you may be entitled to exclude up to $76,000 of such income from your US taxable income under the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. The exclusion is based on one of two rather involved tests, which are explained in the instructions for Form 2555 or 2555-EZ. Note that self-employment income from another country qualifies for the exclusion for income tax purposes, but not for purposes of self- employment tax. Expenses of producing the foreign income are not deductible to the extent that the income is excluded. If your income is subjected to an income tax in the other country, you can generally claim a Foreign Income Credit (Form 1116) or a deduction (Schedule A) for the taxes paid. However, you cannot claim a credit or deduction for taxes paid on income you have excluded from your US tax return under the exclusion explained above." } ]

If your water has only a mildly stale smell, drain the water, refill with fresh water and add water treatment like Aqua Fresh to keep it fresh. However, if the smell of your water is really bad, drain the tank, add a special water tank cleaner , take the boat for a spin to distribute the cleaner and wash the tank. Then drain, refill and treat the fresh water. One caution-Make sure the products you choose are especially designed not to damage your marine fresh water pump.

Although they may look alike, the internal workings of marine heads are different than RV or home toilets. Household cleaning products are too harsh for use on a marine head.

And always use toilet paper approved for marine heads and make certain that no other items like feminine sanitary products or paper towels get flushed away. Nothing ruins a boating weekend faster than a backed up head." }, { "question": "Can a dirty boat bottom affect my boat's performance?", "answer": "Absolutely. Besides being unsightly and smelly, an algae covered boat bottom creates more drag as you move through the water. This decreases your boat's performance, making your engine work harder to get the boat on plane and simultaneously increases your fuel consumption. Call Roger in our service department for special offers on our professional boat bottom cleaning services that will make your boat perform better and save you gas as well." }, { "question": "Now that ethanol fuel is mandated for boats as well as cars in Allegheny and surrounding counties, what steps should I take to protect my boat engine?", "answer": "Most importantly, always choose a high quality refueling station. Fresh gasoline is critical with ethanol gas. Fox Chapel Marine has taken the worry out of finding high quality marine gasoline. In order to protect our boaters from possible ethanol fuel related problems, Fox Chapel Marine has enrolled in the ValvTech Marine Fuel Program. ValvTech marine fuel are especially formulated for marine engines and marine operating conditions. They contain additional marine grade ValvTech fuel additives that are not contained in automotive grade controlling moisture to prevent phase separation and maintaining octane rating, stabilizing fuel to keep it fresh for up to a year, clean up intake valve, intake port and manifold deposits. Boats using ValvTech fuel do not need any additional fuel additives to prevent fuel related problems. One important note: Regular gasoline and ethanol blend do not mix well. Fox Chapel Marine has had our fuel tanks cleaned and treated prior to the changeover to ethanol gas. When changing over from regular fuel to ethanol blend in your boat, it is important to run your tank as low as you dare before refilling with the ethanol blend gasoline. Also, remember to change all fuel filters approximately every 50 hours to maintain top performance in your marine engine. My prop has a few dings in it." }, { "question": "Should I have it repaired?", "answer": "It is very important to keep your propeller in tip-top condition.

Professional repair insures that your propeller has been restored to true balance and original specifications for best performance." }, { "question": "What are sacrificial anodes and how often should they be replaced?", "answer": "Sacrificial anodes inhibit corrosion by offering a source of metal that is more easily corroded than that which they are meant to protect. Because they are meant to dissolve or corrode away as a means of protecting the other metals parts on your boat or engine, it is very important to replace them every one to 2 years or whenever they are 50% consumed." }, { "question": "Does my trailer need to be inspected?", "answer": "In Pennsylvania boat trailers with a GVWR over 3500lb or any trailer with brakes require annual state inspection." }, { "question": "How often should I change my impeller?", "answer": "Every one to two years is a good rule of thumb for changing impellers but keep in mind that unforeseen circumstances like picking up debris or a plastic bag may necessitate changing of your impeller more often.

This practice insures that moisture, dirt and contaminants are not left in contact with bearing surfaces." }, { "question": "How often should I change my lower unit lube?", "answer": "Like engine oil, lower unit lube should be changed annually at the end of the season. If there is any milky looking oil in the oil reservoir or if you notice any oil leakage behind your outdrive, bring the boat for immediate service." }, { "question": "How can I tell if my water separator filter needs changed?", "answer": "Start every year with a fresh water separator filter and most likely you will never need to worry. If you do need to check for water, remove the filter and drain into a clear jar to check for water." }, { "question": "How do I put a name on my boat?", "answer": "Putting a name on your boat is not a requirement but it creates a unique identity and definitely raises the fun factor. Custom vinyl graphics is an easy and inexpensive way to add character and personality to your boat. Contact Trish in our service department for more details about the hundreds of combinations of colors and fonts you can choose from." }, { "question": "Where can I get custom PA numbers?", "answer": "Standard stick-on 3\" letters are available in the ship's store but custom vinyl letters that will complement the look of your boat are available through our service department. My boat has some nicks and cracks in the fiberglass." }, { "question": "How can I get those repaired?", "answer": "Fiberglass and gel coat damage should be evaluated by an expert before repairs are attempted. Although some scratches and small nicks can be easily patched by the do-it-yourselfer, any damage that extends into the fiberglass should be repaired by a trained professional to maintain the safety and to restore the appearance of your boat. Our service department has an excellent fiberglass repair technician who can repair any damage, large or small. My neighbor says he can show me how to winterize my boat so I can save a few bucks this year." }, { "question": "Is that a good idea?", "answer": "Be safe, not sorry! Every spring brings an influx of heartbroken boaters who must face the reality that the guy-next-door version of boat winterizing is often less than perfect. There is nothing more distressing than to have the whole family onboard expecting the first ride of the season, only to have the ride cut short because the engine sprouts leaks. Modern engines have many places that can sustain freeze damage. Seawater pumps, heat exchangers, exhaust manifolds, water distribution housings, exhaust elbows and even the block itself can crack due to an incomplete or unprofessional winterization. The damages run from several hundreds to many thousands of dollars. Don't leave your family standing on the dock. Have your boat professionally winterized this year. Call Roger or Trish in the service department with any questions. The gasoline in my boat is already treated for ethanol." }, { "question": "Should I add more when I put my boat away for the winter?", "answer": "Yes. Studies have found that adding a second treatment at seasonal layup helps to inhibit corrosion and prevents phase separation of the gasoline in your tank. Fuel filters should be changed as well. A quick inspection for particulates in the gas poured from the old fuel filter will indicate whether your fuel system is beginning to show evidence of future fuel system problems. Experts agree that a high quality fuel system treatment like Quicksilver Fuel System Cleaner should be added at this time as well to help prevent rust and corrosion in the entire fuel system. As a bonus the additive will clean carburetors, fuel injectors and intake valves for great performance next boating season. My boat runs great but the exterior hull and deck color is all faded out and the upholstery is worn and damaged." }, { "question": "What can I do to restore my boat to its original condition?", "answer": "Mother Nature can certainly take her toll on gel coat color, canvas and upholstery, but do not despair- these items can all be repaired or replaced. Call Roger in our service department for an appointment to discuss the details of your restoration project. We can do as much or as little as you wish to restore your boat to her former glory." }, { "question": "If it's late in the season and if I have service work that needs done on my boat, should I wait till spring?", "answer": "Good question. The answer depends entirely on your particular boat. Some service jobs are easily done at haul out or over the winter. Other work, like complete bottom painting jobs, should wait until it is closer to spring launch. Call Roger at the service department or email him at [email protected] with the specifics on your anticipated repair and he can steer you in the right direction." } ]

[ { "question": "Where can I view your buildings?", "answer": "We have built a 15 x 6.8m, open plan, two bedroom passive timber frame show home near Dorchester, Dorset that is available for viewing by appointment. We also have a sales office/showroom in Poole where you can pop in to see samples and discover more about what we offer." }, { "question": "The models shown on your website aren’t quite right for me, do you offer a bespoke service?", "answer": "Everyone wants something different, so the model ranges shown on our website are really a starting point. Everything is made to order, so we can easily make alterations to offer you something tailor-made, or we can work from your own plans or with you to create something bespoke." }, { "question": "Will my new building require planning permission?", "answer": "Our residential models will require planning permission, however we do have a planning free mobile home range that can be installed in the grounds of a main dwelling under a Lawful Development Certificate as a ‘mobile home’. Our smaller garden room models without living accommodation can be installed under Permitted Development Rights. For more information visit our planning page or search online for the government’s Planning Portal." }, { "question": "Can I get a mortgage or finance for my building?", "answer": "High street banks/lenders are happy to provide mortgages and insurance for prefabricated timber frame homes. Log cabin homes are more difficult, but there are a number of ethical, eco friendly lenders that will lend. We currently don’t offer a finance option. The prices guides we provide are based on us sending one of our specialist build teams to erect/install your new building for you. You can then arrange for local trades to complete the internal fit out, or do this yourself if you have the necessary skills, or we can also complete this work for you if you prefer." }, { "question": "Are your buildings suitable for all year round living?", "answer": "Yes. Our residential models are designed and built to meet or exceed UK building regulations." }, { "question": "How long can I expect my new building to last?", "answer": "Timber frame and log cabin homes last for generations. These build types have been around for centuries, and in many parts of Northern Europe and North America they are the norm. There are lots of examples of timber frame buildings hundreds of years old, and that’s without the benefits of modern technology, such as pressure-impregnated timbers, plastic vapour barriers, etc." }, { "question": "What should I prepare before you arrive to site?", "answer": "We will usually conduct a site survey to determine if there is suitable access for your new building, and to see how best welfare facilities can be provided for our build team. Groundworks and a foundation should be completed ready for us to erect the building onto, unless you have asked us to manage this too." }, { "question": "Will my new building need to comply with building regulations?", "answer": "Not all buildings/instances require building regulations, but if you intend to use your new building for sleeping accommodation, and it can't be classed as a planning free mobile home, building regulations will usually be required. Smaller garden rooms for private use over 30m2 will generally require some form of building regulations, too. Our timber frame and twin-skin glulam log cabin residential models are designed to fully comply with or exceed UK building regulations (including the new Eurocode 5) as standard. Our buildings also go through structural calculations and building control, so you can be sure that you are getting a new space built to full residential standard or beyond." }, { "question": "How should I maintain my building?", "answer": "The larch cladding on timber frame models can be left to naturally weather and turn a beautiful and consistent silver/grey colour without losing its durability, or it can be treated periodically with something like a linseed oil to maintain its rich, straw-like colour. Log cabin models should be treated with a wood stain roughly every 5/7y, as directed by the product instructions, to protect it." }, { "question": "How are timber frame houses different from a brick and block house?", "answer": "Essentially, an engineered timber frame structure replaces the ‘breeze-block’ structure. Timber frame consists of wall panels (complete with layers of insulation, vapour barriers, etc) with plasterboard on the interior layer and vertical larch cladding on the exterior. The outside of the frame can also be cladded in brick, block and render, stone, tiles, etc to suit – many models in our passive timber frame range feature a combination of cladding and render for a modern look." }, { "question": "Is timber frame as energy efficient as using brick and block?", "answer": "Timber frame is more energy efficient because of the build quality delivered as it’s easier to put insulation into the timber frame walls and allow for cavity between the two skins." }, { "question": "Will my new building be as strong as a brick and block house?", "answer": "Yes. We use computer aided design, state-of-the-art mills and the best quality timber to precision engineer your new building, which also goes through structural calculations and meets or exceeds building regulations." }, { "question": "What happens if my new building catches fire?", "answer": "Our residential builds meet or exceed building regulations, so there’s no greater risk of fire with a timber frame home than a brick and block equivalent. Actually, timber performs very well in fire because, unlike other forms of construction, it doesn’t deflect at high temperatures. With site survey, plans, specifications, costs, etc all finalised and agreed, we draw up a staged payment plan and a Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) contract – the JCT clearly states the responsibilities of all parties within the process and their obligations to each other, so everyone is protected. The deposit is paid and the mill produce a set of drawings under our guidance for you to approve, and manufacture begins. Depending on the size of building and available production slots, your new building is delivered in specialist kit form, ready for us to erect onto a pre-prepared foundation, 10-12 weeks later. Build time to a completed structure (including external windows and doors, internal walls and doors, with a Metrotile roof covering as standard), ready for kitchens, bathroom/s, electrics and plumbing to be fitted, is 2-4 weeks. We can offer a full turn-key solution, including groundworks and internal fit out if you wish. We operate a stage payment system: 50% on ordering (with the design, specification and costing finalised and agreed) to book a production slot at the mill; 40% once manufactured and before build/install (manufacture and delivery to the UK usually takes around 8-10 weeks); 10% on completion (build time to an installed and completed structure usually takes 1-3 weeks [extra time for internal fit out, if required])." } ]

You will volunteer in different areas of League life to get to know our League. In the Spring, you go more “hands-on” by joining a committee already in progress. Most consider the first year in our League as the most time intensive. There is a required number of volunteer hours and meetings. After your provisional year, your time commitment varies depending on your committee placement.

[ { "question": "I enrolled in store; do I need to do anything else?", "answer": "I did not receive an email after I enrolled at the register in a participating UGG® retail store." }, { "question": "Can I use multiple UGG® rewards on one purchase?", "answer": "UGG® Rewards is a free program designed to reward loyal UGG® customers like you. UGG® Rewards allows you to earn UGG® Points for everyday activities like browsing, purchasing and staying active on UGG.com, writing product reviews, and much more. Once you earn 10 UGG® Reward points, you automatically receive a $20 UGG® Reward that can be used in any UGG® store in the US or online at UGG.com. Activities that can earn you UGG® Points and the Rewards we offer can change at any time, so check back to see the latest! Every UGG® fan 13 years of age or older and a legal resident of the United States and District of Colombia is eligible to enroll in our free Rewards program online at UGG.com or in any of our participating UGG® retail stores in the United States. Regardless of where you enroll, remember to set up your Member account online and complete your Member profile at UGG.com in order to enjoy all the benefits of the program. Email address will be necessary for program enrollment. Congratulations! You are now an enrolled Member. However, in order to enjoy all the benefits of the UGG® Rewards program, you must set up your Rewards account online. If you enrolled in an UGG® retail store, you will receive an email to prompt you to complete your Rewards account set up. You can go online and set up your Rewards account independent of receiving an enrollment email. If you already have an UGG.com account tied to the same email that was used to enroll in UGG® Rewards in store, log into your UGG.com account as you normally would. You will then be prompted for additional information in order to set up your UGG® Rewards Member account. If you do not have an UGG.com account, or enrolled in UGG® Rewards using a different email, you will need to create a new UGG.com account using the same email used to enroll in the store. Follow the prompts to set up your UGG.com online account and once created, you will be provided access to your UGG® Rewards member account. Once you set up your Rewards account online, your account should automatically reflect your eligible UGG® Points within 48 hours. If it does not automatically reflect your UGG® Points within 7 days, please contact us at 1-888-432-8530 or email us at [email protected]. Make sure to have your receipt available. You may earn UGG® Points in a number of ways, including purchasing and staying active on UGG.com, sharing content on certain social media channels, writing product reviews and much more. This list is constantly changing, so to stay current on all of the activities that will allow you to earn UGG® Points, be sure to check the earn points tab in your online Rewards page often. There is an 80 point limit to the overall number of UGG® Points that can be earned through purchase of UGG® product in a 12 month period. There is also a limit to how many points can be earned for specific actions. To learn about all the ways you can earn UGG® Points and what limits apply to each action, visit the earn points tab. Additional points earning opportunities may occasionally happen or current point earning opportunities may change, so please visit the earn points tab to learn about current UGG® Points earning opportunities. Generally, depending on the item purchased, a member can earn between 2 and 6 points. No, you cannot transfer (or sell) UGG® Points or redeemed Rewards to anyone else. UGG Rewards program members will earn points for qualified purchases and activities. Once you earn 10 points and have a qualified purchase on your account, we will automatically email you a $20 UGG Reward that can be used at UGG stores in the United States and online at UGG.com. Rewards expire in 90 days. Program members that have completed their Rewards profile online will also receive priority notice of new items and promotional events, a birthday surprise, bonus point opportunities and more! Your points balance will show a reduction equal to the points earned on the product purchase. For an exchange of equal value, the points balance will remain unchanged. Unfortunately, due to Facebook user policies, we do not offer points for \"liking\" UGG® on Facebook at this time. UGG® marketing emails provide you with the latest information regarding UGG® products and official announcements. UGG® Rewards emails provide you with detailed transactional information regarding your UGG® Rewards account, for instance, confirm qualified activities, verify rewards, etc. Should you choose to opt out of UGG® marketing emails but maintain an active UGG® Rewards account, you will continue to receive UGG® Rewards transactional emails such as points balance updates until you contact Customer Service and close your UGG® Rewards account. As long as you are a part of the UGG® Rewards program, you will continue to receive transactional emails about your activity and updates regarding your UGG® Rewards account. There are a few ways you may lose points from your UGG® Rewards account. One way in which you may lose points is if you connect to any social network through the program and then disconnect from that social media network in the same month. You may also lose points for returning item(s) from an order for which you initially received points. Points also expire after 12 months in which your account sees no points-earning activity. You can earn points for most web-based activities on a mobile device but you will need to disable 'private browsing' on your mobile browser. Check your mobile browser settings on your mobile device to ensure it will always accept cookies. Yes.

Once you are an enrolled Member, product purchases made at either an UGG® Retail Store in the US or online at UGG.com are considered a Qualifying Purchase event. Should you purchase an UGG® product at an authorized retail partner (such as Nordstroms or Dillards) your transaction is not eligible to receive purchase points. The purchase of an UGG® gift card or any products purchased with an employee discount are excluded as a Qualifying Purchase event. Points cannot be earned on any taxes, shipping and handling charges and any other fees. Purchases for items with a decimal values of $.49 through $.01 round down. Points post to member accounts approximately 15 days after the date of purchase. The value of returned items will be deducted from the member's qualifying purchase amount. Purchases made using an Ugg Reward are not eligible for points earnings. At this time UGG Rewards is awarding points for UGG® in-store purchases from Qualifying UGG® Retail Stores but not for purchases made at UGG® retail partners. Please check back for updates! Yes, your redeemable points will expire if your account has no points-earning activity (that includes engagement and/or purchase activity) for a 12-month period. No, points are only issued for purchases after the official launch of the program and once you have fully enrolled and opted in to the UGG® Rewards program online. We're sorry to see you leave, but if you no longer want to be a part of the UGG® Rewards program please call our Customer Service team at 1-888-432-8530 and they can assist you. Log into your UGG® Rewards account online at UGG.com and your current points balance will display in the upper area of your member home page. Select from the corresponding tabs in your member account pages to view recent activity, points earnings opportunities, current profile settings and other member- related items. While most UGG® points will be added to your balance immediately after you have completed an action, some activities take longer to verify. For example, product purchase points are added once your item ships and item review points are added after your review is approved and posted to UGG.com. Not a problem – we are happy to help! Simply call us at 1-888-432-8530 or email us at [email protected]. Make sure to have your receipt available. As noted above, some engagement activities take longer to verify points earning, and for online purchases, points will not accrue until after a product has shipped, so there will be a delay. At this time, you must be a legal resident of the United States to participate in the program. Members can only earn purchase-related points and redeem UGG Rewards in UGG® retail stores located in the United States or on UGG.com. Please contact our Customer Service team at 1-888-432-8530 or email us at [email protected] 24 hours a day. We'll reply within one business day.

[ { "question": "What is a Mom Prom?", "answer": "A “Mom Prom” is a massive girls’ night out – a chance for women and mothers 21 and older to get together and dance, eat, drink, talk, laugh, pose for pictures with their friends, relive some of their own glory days and make new memories with friends. It’s also a fun way to support an important cause because a portion of ticket proceeds will be donated to a charity benefiting local women and children. The 2018 charity is the Family Diabetes Camp offered by JDRF. It’s a camp (provided at no charge) to families in Northwest Arkansas who have a child or a parent living with Type 1 Diabetes. Mom Proms are held across the country including cities like Seattle, Raleigh, Wichita, Denver and more. This is the fifth annual Mom Prom for Northwest Arkansas, and the women of nwaMotherlode.com, the biggest women’s website in Northwest Arkansas, are putting it together once again." }, { "question": "When and where will the Mom Prom be held?", "answer": "The 2018 Mom Prom will be held June 1, 2018. It will be held at The Chancellor Hotel in downtown Fayetteville, right off the Fayetteville Square. We’ll have the whole second floor to ourselves! If you’re interested in attending the 2018 Mom Prom, be sure to put your name on the list to receive updates from Mom Prom so you’ll be the first to know when tickets go on sale in mid-February. Tickets are likely to sell out again in 2018, so being on the email list is the best way to ensure you won’t miss a chance to get your ticket in time. The Chancellor Hotel has a parking deck right behind the hotel’s main tower. There are also parking spots along East Street and around the Fayetteville Square. Particularly for those who will be having wine or a cocktail at the event, Uber would be the best way to go since you wouldn’t have to worry about parking at all." }, { "question": "Do I have to be a mother to attend?", "answer": "All women and mothers in Northwest Arkansas will be invited, but leave your men, kids and/or babies at home for the night. (You deserve a night out with friends only!) This is just for women age 21 or older. Local moms’ groups, book clubs, women bloggers, church women’s groups, moms and their adult daughters, and the entire online community of nwaMotherlode.com will know about this fun event." }, { "question": "What do people wear to Mom Prom?", "answer": "Great question. We advise women to wear what they feel good in and want to dance in. Some ladies go all out with a formal prom dress. (We even saw a hoop skirt one year!) Some do a little black dress or cocktail dress. Some do a cute maxi dress they feel great in. And the pregnant mamas who come just wear whatever they like that still fits. We’ve seen it all, and it’s all good. We’re a little biased, but we think the Mom Prom in Northwest Arkansas has the most beautiful ladies anywhere. Please don’t feel like you need to spend a lot of money on a dress. There are some great consignment stores in our area that offer formal wear, including Cari’s Closet in Siloam Springs and the 2nd Date Formal Wear Consignment Event in Rogers. To get more outfit inspiration, check out the Photos page or the Prom Features page, where you’ll see tons of photos of past Mom Proms. That should give you an idea of what most people choose to wear at the event. It’s best to purchase tickets online at this site asap because we’re anticipating they will sell out before Prom Night. If there are any tickets still available, you can purchase one at the door but the at-the-door price will be $50." }, { "question": "Do I need to print out a ticket receipt and bring it with me?", "answer": "We think it’s a good idea to do that, but you don’t have to. If you purchase tickets online, we’ll have a record of your purchase and a list with all those names at the door. When you arrive, we’ll check you in at the prom entrance. Can’t wait to see you there!" }, { "question": "What if something comes up after I buy a ticket and I can’t attend the Prom?", "answer": "We really hope that doesn’t happen, but we are mamas and we know that sometimes kids get sick at the least convenient times. So if that happens to you, we’d encourage you to sell or give your ticket to a fellow mom who would be able to attend in your place. Tickets are non-refundable but you can definitely transfer it to someone else. Just send us an email so we’ll know who is using your ticket." }, { "question": "Will there be food at Mom Prom?", "answer": "This year we’re offering a beautiful dessert buffet — cake, petit fours, cupcakes, cookies and more from the one-and-only Rick’s Bakery in Fayetteville. We’ll also have fresh fruit on hand. It’s all about the dancing, desserts and drinks this year. So we strongly encourage ladies to eat dinner before you arrive at Mom Prom. There are tons of restaurants near the hotel where Mom Prom will be held. Dancing takes a lot of energy so please plan to eat before you come. Most ladies arrange to go out for a great dinner with friends and then head over to Mom Prom to burn off the calories." }, { "question": "How do you choose the NWA Mom Prom Queen?", "answer": "We don’t choose her because lady luck does it for us. EVERYONE who purchases a ticket for the NWA Mom Prom is automatically in the drawing. (We don’t believe in popularity contests around here.) We simply choose a ticket at random and that woman is crowned Prom Queen and gets a pretty fabulous gift to go with her new tiara and sash. If a friend has purchased a ticket for you to attend, make sure you are on our Mom Prom newsletter list so your name will be in the drawing for Prom Queen." }, { "question": "What’s up with this Flash Mob thing I’m hearing about?", "answer": "We’ve always had a Flash Mob at every NWA Mom Prom. Our friend and fearless Zumba teacher, Kelsey Lee, makes up the dance for us and does an instructional video so you can learn it before Prom night, if you like. (Or you can just follow along with the moves on Prom night because Kelsey will be there on stage to lead the Flash Mob.) CLICK HERE TO SEE THE 2018 FLASH MOB INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. It’s so fun to do a synchronized dance with 300 or more of your fellow mamas! Hope you’ll join us on the dance floor for this year’s Mob!" }, { "question": "What is there to do at the Mom Prom?", "answer": "Entertainment will be provided by our favorite DJ in the whole world — Frankie Magallanes of Dancenhance Entertainment! He has been the only man allowed into the NWA Mom Prom since it began in 2013. After the first Mom Prom, tons of people asked us to make sure that Frankie was coming back to be the DJ on the next one. He is SO much fun at a party and really keeps the energy and the great songs playing all night. Sometimes he even kicks off a line dance, too. We’re guessing you can tell from this picture (taken at the tropical-themed Mom Prom in 2015) that Frankie knows how to have fun. Gwen Rockwood and Shannon Magsam, founders of nwaMotherlode.com, will be on hand to host the event and announce winners of the raffle prizes. We’ll also be announcing the 2018 Mom Prom Queen! The Mom Prom will begin with arrivals and glam photos on the red carpet. There’ll also be a prom photo backdrop where moms can pose with their friends or with our famous cardboard “prom dates” which will include freestanding life-size cut-outs of famous heartthrobs like Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling and more." }, { "question": "Will I need to bring money to the Mom Prom?", "answer": "It’s a good idea to bring some money along, in case you want to get something from the donation-only bar or buy some extra raffle tickets. We’ll have lots of really cool raffle items and you can put your raffle ticket into the drawing for any of the packages. (Each raffle package is valued at more than $300.) If there’s a raffle package you’d REALLY like to win, you might want to put all your raffle tickets into that drawing alone, or you can spread them out among all the drawings.

[ { "question": "Did you know your pet can benefit, too?", "answer": "Physical therapy for dogs, also known as “rehab,” is gaining popularity. One of the best ways to learn more is from an industry leader. Veterinarian Dr. Barbara Butler provides key information on canine therapy modalities in the below Q&A interview. Dr. Butler leads the veterinary rehabilitation program at Peak Pet Performance at Care First Animal Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina. Dr. Butler graduated from NC State College of Veterinary Medicine, obtained her Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) from the Chi Institute of Chinese Medicine, and is also a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT). She and her family own, hunt, and compete with their four English Setters." }, { "question": "What types of alternative therapies are commonly used?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: Acupuncture and electrostimulation (e-stim), hydrotherapy (water treadmill), land treadmill, range of motion exercises, laser therapy, massage, heat and cold therapy, and joint mobilization." }, { "question": "What's your favorite treatment to administer and why?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: My two favorite treatments are acupuncture and water treadmill. Acupuncture benefits everyone and does not have side effects. Water treadmill rebuilds muscle mass and the warm water helps relieve soreness and loosens up the muscles." }, { "question": "What are the benefits of getting therapy?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: Benefits include decreased pain, faster recovery, and improved strength, flexibility, endurance and function. Some dogs do not do well with medication or have maxed out on which medications they can use. Thus, the dogs need to explore other methods, or modalities, to feel better. Another benefit is to make your dog’s transition to rehab smoother post-surgery. “Pre-hab” is rehab before your dog’s surgery and may start approximately 6 weeks prior to surgery. For example, some dogs will come to “pre-hab” to learn the exercises and how to walk on the water treadmill before surgery. In addition, some dogs need to get stronger before surgery or would benefit from weight loss before surgery. Your dog may recover quicker post-surgery if he’s closer to an ideal weight and isn’t burdening his body with extra pounds." }, { "question": "What are the most common medical conditions that you help treat and heal with these therapies?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: In our practice, we most commonly see geriatric dogs with arthritis and neurologic conditions. We also treat dogs that are recovering from back surgeries and knee surgeries." }, { "question": "What are some of the less common medical conditions, surgeries, or ailments that you treat on canines?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: We have seen several dogs with fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE), which is essentially a stroke in the spinal cord. We have also seen one dog that had immune mediated disease in both of her knees. I have also treated patients with cerebellar disease." }, { "question": "How do you determine which therapies to use for the dog?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: Every patient is different and has unique needs. Laser is a wonderful therapy, but it is not appropriate for puppies or dogs that have had certain types of cancer. We base the recommended exercises on which muscle groups need to be strengthened or stretched. Some types of exercises are too strenuous for geriatric dogs, so we pick less difficult exercises." }, { "question": "What drives how many treatments and the frequency of treatments that the dogs need?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: Post-op patients often start 1-2 weeks after surgery and have 1-2 sessions weekly for 5-10 weeks. Rehab vets work closely with the surgeons to monitor the patient’s progress. Patients with significant muscle loss with need to be treated for a longer period of time. Significant muscle loss can occur with only 2 weeks of inactivity, but it can take many weeks to rebuild it." }, { "question": "What do you do if a dog will not walk on the land or water treadmill?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: We have only had a few patients that would not do the water treadmill. In those cases, we will try the land treadmill. If that does not work, then we adjust the in-house therapeutic exercises and home exercises to make up for no treadmill use." }, { "question": "What should an owner look for in a provider?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: Owners should talk to their regular vet or surgeon about finding and using a rehab provider. In addition to obtaining a referral, owners can review the rehab vet’s credentials, experience, website, treatment packages available, and available equipment. Owners may also search provider listings online for the American Association of Rehabilitation Practitioners (AARV), the Canine Rehabilitation Institute (CRI), and the Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner (CCRP)." }, { "question": "What are the benefits of a drop-off program versus an in-person appointment with the dog?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: Each rehab practice has their own way of scheduling. Many facilities have a drop off program, but some schedule the water treadmill and therapy visits as 30 minute or one hour appointments. Drop off appointments allow us to use multiple modalities throughout the day - laser, acupuncture, e-stim, massage, etc. - and then allow the pet to rest in between. Scheduled appointments work well for dogs with separation anxiety that do not do well spending the day away from home or their owners. Dr. Butler: I always recommend homework for my patients. Human physical therapists always send home exercises for their patients and we find it is also helpful for dogs. The patients that I work with that have owners who are dedicated about doing home exercises always make the best progress." }, { "question": "What do you love most about being a rehab veterinarian?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: I get so much satisfaction from seeing my patients improve. When I see a patient whose pain has been relieved or whose mobility has been improved, it makes my day! It is also very gratifying to start with a patient who can’t walk and to see him walk again." }, { "question": "What else you like to tell pet owners about veterinary rehabilitation?", "answer": "Dr. Butler: If you have a pet that is struggling with arthritis pain or a neurologic disorder, you should strongly consider rehab. It can make a huge difference in your pet’s quality of life. It can also make recovery from back surgery or knee surgery much faster!" } ]

It's basically the same as choosing any link you want to get the traffic to except you're using a video so have to select the right campaign for video but the rest is just about the same. Using AdWords to promote your video content is a very interesting marketing tactic. It can help you gain more exposure if done well. AdWords for video basically lets you advertise in this way so that your advert can be displayed on a video before, during or after. Adwords for video will position your video in places where people are already searching for content that is related to yours or that is similar. You could also have your video shown in the search results on YouTube. However it is important to note that simply placing an ad on YouTube is not going to guarantee that people will actually watch your video. Ultimately you need to make sure that you have created an advert and a video which are worth clicking on and watching. Hi farahkhan nice to see you here and thanks for your nice query. I never tried to advertise Youtube video or channel by Google adword. But as per as I read and know it is really effective way to getting more exposure on search engine. You will get huge audience, if you do so. And as a search result by your specific keyword, that will always show up on top position as ad on Google. So, it is really great opportunity to get targeted audience. And there has no any barrier for campaigning your video on adword. And if you search on Google by any keywords, you may see there has at least 1 or 2 YouTube videos available. So, you can go for it without hesitation." } ]

[ { "question": "Is it defective?", "answer": "A: Several factors can affect the curing of epoxies. Not mixing equal parts is usually the first suspected cause of problems, but since the 50-50 ratio has a plus or minus tolerance of about 10%, this is rarely a problem. Sometimes modelers will intentionally mix in extra hardener. This is not recommended! The improper ratio can result in brittleness and/or loss of strength in the cured epoxy. Incomplete mixing of the two parts will also cause problems. Spend at least one minute to thoroughly mix the two components. The vast majority of problems with epoxies are temperature related. Most epoxies need an environment that exceeds 70 degrees F. while they are curing. Heating the epoxy hours after mixing will not solve the problem of improper curing. The temperature must be correct during the initial curing time. Maintaining proper temperature control in your workshop will solve most epoxy problems; however, since the majority of workshops are garages where work is mostly done at night when temperatures are low, temperature control can be impractical. In this case there are two options. First, the two epoxy components can be pre-heated before mixing. We have found heating epoxy bottles without their tops in a microwave oven to be the quickest method. The bottles should be heated to where they are only slightly warm to the touch, which usually only takes 10 to 20 seconds, with the resin (black top) taking less time. Do not mix components that have been overheated, as the cure time will be greatly reduced. The second option is to heat the epoxy after is has been mixed with a heat gun. This should be done both before and after applying the mixed epoxy. If your workshop is particularly cold, run the heat gun over the epoxy again about 15-30 minutes after applying. If you are bonding metal, pre-heat it for best results. Of course, during summer none of these precautions usually need to be taken. Q: My 30 Minute epoxy started to cure in only 10-20 minutes." }, { "question": "Did I get mis-marked bottles?", "answer": "A: The minute designations on our epoxies are the amount of time one has before the components start to cure to a taffy-like consistency when mixed on a flat surface (such a s the flexible plastic top to a coffee can). Higher temperatures will reduce the working time. As epoxies cure, heat is created. If a larger amount of epoxy (1 oz. or more) is mixed in a cup, a mini-reactor is created which concentrates the heat of curing which causes the epoxy components to kick-off faster which creates more heat which further speeds the curing, creating more heat, so on and so on. On warm days, you can end up with a smoking blob. Lay down parallel, equal lengths of each component before mixing them together to get consistent results. The 20 minute designation of our FINISH-CURE™ takes into account its being mixed in larger quantities in a cup. Q: My cyanoacrylate has been working great but today I can’t get it to stick two pieces of wood together." }, { "question": "Did the CA suddenly go bad?", "answer": "A: Not usually. CAs cure (polymerize) when pressed into a thin film in the presence of an alkali environment. In general, ambient humidity in the air and on the bonding surface provide the proper pH to initiate cure in a few seconds. The best bonds are achieved when relative humidity is 40 to 60 percent at room temperature. If the surfaces to be bonded are excessively dry or are acidic, the curing can be much slower or not occur at all. In such cases, INSTA-SET™ accelerator should be sprayed on one surface and CA on the other. INSTASET ™ is formulated with a high pH that initiates curing in less than 8 seconds. The CA can lose its potency if exposed to higher temperatures for an extended period. A bottle of CA in a tool box that is left to sit in the summer sun or a bottle that is exposed to direct sunlight will greatly increase the aging process. The CA tends to thicken and turn darker as it ages. Kept in cooler surroundings, Bob Smith Industries will maintain its potency for two years or more. A good test for thin CA is to shake the bottle and notice how long it takes for all the bubbles to disappear. If it takes longer than 3 seconds, the CA is on its way downhill. It will still form strong bonds, but they will be slower and with less penetration. Using the wrong consistency of adhesive on a joint will also lead to problems. Thin CA should not be used on end grain balsa wood. The CA can be “sucked” up the fibers of the wood for an inch or more, i.e. the CA is drawn away from the bonding surface. Thicker CA should be applied sparingly to only one surface. The best bonds are achieved if only enough adhesive is applied to fill a gap." }, { "question": "Q: Can anything be used to thin CA (decrease its viscosity)?", "answer": "A: The only substance that can be added to thicker CA to reduce its viscosity is thin cyanoacrylate. Any other additive will quickly harden the adhesive." }, { "question": "Q: Is cyanoacrylate toxic, and does odorless CA just cover up what will still be toxic effects?", "answer": "A: Cyanoacrylate is not toxic! The fumes from CA are a vaporized form of the cyanoacrylate monomer that irritate sensitive membranes in the eyes, nose and throat. They immediately are polymerized by the moisture in the membranes and become inert. They do not penetrate into human internal systems. In fact, CA that is used to suture wounds avert some of the infections that occur in stitched wounds. It also eliminates the need for stitch removal because it sloughs off along with the outer layer of skin after a couple of weeks. Cyanoacrylates have been successful in grafting skin, bone and cartilage; repairing eyes; closing dangerously ballooned blood vessels in the abdomen; and stopping spinal fluid leaks. About 5% of the population can become sensitized to CA fumes after repeated exposure. Just a small exposure can result in flu-like symptoms. Our odorless SUPER-GOLD+™ CAs eliminate any adverse reactions. The most common misnomer about CA is that they contain cyanide and that the fumes will poison you. Not True! Period. Case closed." }, { "question": "Q: Can SUPER-GOLD™ odorless CA be used on white foam?", "answer": "A: SUPER-GOLD™ and SUPER-GOLD+™ are completely white foam compatible. INSTA-SET™ accelerator is also white foam compatible, but it must be used correctly. While INSTA-SET™ will not attack the foam, the heat generated during the curing of the SUPER-GOLD™ may melt the foam! The minimum amount of INSTA-SET™ should be used. Since there is usually little or not moisture present in white foam, when bonding two pieces of foam one piece should be lightly misted with INSTA-SET™ and left for 2-3 minutes before applying SUPERGOLD+ ™ to the opposite part and bringing them together." }, { "question": "Q: Why is SUPER-GOLD™ so expensive, and why does it have a shorter shelf life?", "answer": "A: It’s the nature of the beast. The raw materials for odorless CAs are universally extremely expensive and limited in supply. Their shorter shelf life is an unavoidable result of their chemical makeup and adds to its marketing costs. The SUPER-GOLD™’s have a maximum shelf life of 1 1/2 years under ideal conditions. Q: My colored cap sometimes can be difficult to take off." }, { "question": "What can I do?", "answer": "A: The different rates or shrinkage in the various colors of plastic we use for our caps and tolerance variations in molds can sometimes result in caps that fit too tight. A twisting motion as you pull up on the cap is usually all that is needed to remove it. If you find the cap too difficult to grip, take a spare 1/4 - 20 or 1/4 - 28 metal nut and self-thread it onto the top of the cap, which will give you a better grip. When using INSTA-CURE™ super thin CA, we recommend using teflon tubing or an extra-fine extender tip. They can remain part of the top and the blue cap can be set aside without having a significant affect on the shelf-life. The finer tips allow more precise control of the thin CA and greatly resist clogging. Q: After applying FINISH-CURE™ and sanding it down to a smooth surface, I accidentally went down to the bare balsa." }, { "question": "Do I have to apply more epoxy to seal this area?", "answer": "A: The objective of most modelers who use FINISH-CURE™ is to achieve a durable and smooth surface while adding the minimum amount of weight. If you haven’t sanded down through the epoxy in a couple of spots, you haven’t sanded the surface enough and are adding extra weight! Since it is usually very inconvenient and time consuming to mix a small batch of epoxy for such small areas, INSTA-CURE™ super thin CA is the best alternative. Apply a few drops to the balsa and use the fine tubing on the tip as a brush to spread it around. Wipe off the CA with a paper towel and then apply more CA, followed again by a quick swipe of the paper towel. A light spray of INSTA-SET™ accelerator to insure a full cure allows the area to be sanded within 10 seconds. A hard-backed sanding block will blend the area into the epoxy finish. Older CA that has lost some of its potency can actually be easier to use for this application. Entire surfaces can be finished smooth using just thin CA. The fumes that result from the application of such large quantities of CA can be overwhelming so extra precaution must be taken to provide sufficient ventilation. Thin CA can also be used to apply light weight fiberglass cloth. Substituting SUPER-GOLD™ odorless thin eliminates the problem with fumes." } ]

[ { "question": "I got the wrong size, can I exchange my filter?", "answer": "Air filters collect dust, dirt, and allergens that float around your home. Like a lint trap in your dryer, it accumulates a thick layer of these air borne particles. When they become full, they are ineffective and start to restrict the airflow moving through your air conditioning system. A dirty air filter is the #1 reason for HVAC system failure. Changing your air filter means extending the life of your AC unit, and saving you money on your energy bill in the process. An old and forgotten filter can eventually accumulate so much dirt and pollution that it can completely choke off all air flow to your AC system. In the worst case, the filter can be sucked into the motor and cause thousands of dollars in damage to your system. The life of your filter depends on the environment of your home. On average we recommend you change your filter every 90 days. If you have a larger family, have pets, smoke, have allergies or asthma we recommend changing your filter every 30 days. With Filter Direct, you can change the frequency in which you receive your filters at any time to fit your needs. Many homes have multiple filters. Once you select your filter and deliver frequency, you’ll be able to select the number of filters you will need for your home. Make sure you measure each filter if you do have more than one. Sometimes they are different sizes. You’ll be able to select a different size for each filter." }, { "question": "What are the life expectancies of the different air filters?", "answer": "There really isn’t a “standard expectancy” for an air filter. It depends on each home’s characteristics, how many people live there, if there are pets, smokers, how much air pollution and pollen is in your town, etc. The best way to make sure you are changing your air filter on time is be proactive and let Direct Filter Express send you reminders by shipping you fresh filters. Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value, or MERV for short is a filter rating system to standardize and simplify filter efficiency ratings for the public. The higher the MERV rating, the higher the efficiency of the air filter. MERV ratings are the efficiency of the air filters. The higher the MERV rating, the more efficient your air filter. For example, a MERV 13 filter will remove smaller particles from the air than an MERV 8 filter. This gives the consumer the ability to compare one filter to another.

[ { "question": "What could be the problem?", "answer": "Your child may have selected a username that is already in our database or may be mistyping a password. Look for the green check which signals that the username and password have been accepted by Kudos. Children under 13 must secure parental approval to use the app. Therefore, Kudos must be able to contact an adult guardian. The app asks the child to include a parent email address. This is difficult for some children and errors can occur. The Kudos app immediately requests parental authorization as soon as the registration process is complete. If you do not receive an authorization request immediately, please check the app to see if your child has entered your email address correctly." }, { "question": "How do I authorize my child to use Kudos?", "answer": "The law requires that parents verify their identity before they can authorize their child. This is a quick and easy process. Kudos works with a respected third party, PRIVO, to verify identity. No information which you provide is saved or shared by either Kudos or PRIVO. If you are having problems with verification, please click here to view the tutorial. I have already authorized my child's account." }, { "question": "Why do I have to to authorize it again?", "answer": "Now there are new safety laws. Parents need to go through a simple verification step to make sure the person who authorizes a child's use of Kudos is an adult- a parent or legal guardian. There are a number of ways a parent can be verified. We use an independent verification service and they do not save any of personal information. We know it's an extra step but it's the law, and it's for your child's protection." }, { "question": "How does Kudos protect my child?", "answer": "Parents are sent requests to activate their child’s account. Until the account has been activated, no one can see a child’s post. Kudos Moderators review all videos, pictures, comments and captions and will remove any that are inappropriate. Parents are notified of their child’s posts and comments. We do not share your child’s information with anyone but, from time to time, we may feature a posted masterpiece (without names) in our marketing materials. Kudos users are not allowed to post any personal information or the personal information of others, including usernames to other social media sites or applications. Comments containing this information are deleted by our moderators. When using Kudos, geo-location features are disabled for safety reasons. Users who disregard Kudos safety or positive behavior rules can be temporarily prevented from using the app or their accounts may be permanently deleted." }, { "question": "How does Kudos handle friends?", "answer": "All friendships are mutual in Kudos. All friend requests are pending until both parties agree to accept them. Once friendships have been accepted on both sides, users will be able to see each other’s profiles, full names, posts, groups and friends. They will also see all the videos and pictures their friends have posted. Parents will be able to both approve and delete friends. Kids may also delete friends should they choose to do so." }, { "question": "What will my child do in the Kudos app?", "answer": "Kudos kids can share videos or photos from their camera roll or camera and they can see and react to videos and photos shared by their friends. Kids can draw, add comments or captions, and can join Groups to share pictures with other children who share their interests." }, { "question": "Can I report a video, photo, caption or comment?", "answer": "Occasionally, you may come across a video, photo, comment or caption that you might find inappropriate. If you want to report it, click on the icon that is at the bottom right-hand corner of the photo. All reported content goes immediately to our moderators for review. My child received a rude comment." }, { "question": "How can I report or remove it?", "answer": "Kudos offers a comment feature because we are training our users to interact with others on social media in a positive way. However, children will occasionally post negative comments. For this reason, every comment must be approved by the user before it can be seen by anyone in the Kudos community. If your child receives a comment that, for any reason at all, they do not want associated with their video/picture, they should go to the notification center, find the comment, touch it to open the approval page and block the comment. In the notification list, the comment will show as blocked (a gray circle and X). Then no one will be able to see that comment." }, { "question": "Why does Kudos ask for my child’s full name?", "answer": "At Kudos, we believe in taking responsibility for everything you share online. We would like Kudos kids to only share things they want to have directly associated with them. By making their name visible, they will be held accountable for all the content they decide to publish. When my child signs into Kudos, she can see posts from people who are not her authorized friends." }, { "question": "Will my child's pictures and information be shown to strangers too?", "answer": "In the registration process, we require that a child select a Group to join. This is to make sure that they have some fun content in their feed right away. If you do not want your child's pictures to be shown to children she does not know, please tell her to invite her friends and then select Friends only (and not Groups) when she posts. If you do not want her to see posts from children who are not her friends, go to Settings and turn off the option to Show All Group Posts in Feed." }, { "question": "Is my child too young to be using Kudos?", "answer": "Kudos is a safe, fun and educational way to introduce children to the world of social media. The app has been designed with the “under 13” age group in mind, but Kudos is for everyone." }, { "question": "How can my child invite friends to the app?", "answer": "A child can invite a friend from a suggested list of people they might know or can text or email friends to invite them to download Kudos. A friend must accept an invitation in order for two children to be linked. Parents may see a list of their children’s friends at any time." }, { "question": "Can my child choose to see only his friends posts and not those of both friends and groups?", "answer": "Yes, this choice may be selected in the profile preferences.

[ { "question": "How much is airfare?", "answer": "Airfare rates vary depending on when you go and how you fly. Low season is anytime before July 1st and anytime after August 31st. On average a ticket will cost right around $2000 per person. If you fly direct from July 1st up till the end of August expect to pay around $2300-2500. If you fly before July 1st or after August 31st expect to pay around $1700-2000. These prices reflect domestic flights as well. Originating airport and route will also determine your final pricing. Flying direct will generally cost more while flying through Europe is cheaper but potentially more of a hassle due to some European restricitions on flying with guns. We can sort all of this out for you. 2." }, { "question": "Is tax included on the hunts?", "answer": "South Africa has a 14% Value Added Tax which is applied to goods and services. Some companies do not include this in their pricing but with us, all prices are reflected in total. What you see on our price lists is what you pay, no more no less. 3." }, { "question": "Are there any hidden charges?", "answer": "No! We do not have any hidden charges. All pricing will be discussed, agreed upon and contracted to prior to your departure. You will have the option of staying overnight when you arrive at a local guest house. We recommend you do so to shower, eat, and rest prior to arriving in camp the next day. These guest house rates will be charged to you if you choose to overnight. We will provide you with these costs in your contract. Side trips you may want to take during your hunt with us for you or your companion are available at extra fees. Again, these will be discussed and agreed to and reflected in your contract should you want to partake in any side adventures. You will know about everything cost wise in advance. 4." }, { "question": "What does it cost to get my trophies home?", "answer": "If you choose to have your trophies dipped, packed, and shipped then you will be charged by the South African taxidermist doing the work. USDA requires that any raw animal parts being imported into the US be chemically dipped to kill any foreign bacteria found thereon and prevent that bacteria from being brought into the US. This process is applicable to capes and horns/skulls or any other part of the animal you wish to bring home. Once your trophies have been dipped, they will be dried and crated for shipment to the US taxidermist doing your work. Once inspected and released, your shipment will be picked up by the shipping agent and transported to the airport for transit. When your shipment arrives in the US it must be cleared through US Customs. You may opt to do this yourself or have an agent handle it for you. The agent will clear the shipment through customs and have it shipped to your receiving taxidermist. The SA taxidermist doing the dip and pack will invoice you for the dipping and packing and also the shipping to the airport. The agent on the US side will invoice you for clearing your trophies and shipping to your taxidermist. Depending on what you are having shipped, expect to pay $200-400 per animal for the entire process. We are highly experienced with this and can advise and handle most every aspect of the process. 5." }, { "question": "Is it safe in South Africa?", "answer": "South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia are the safest most stable countries in southern Africa. While every country has areas that tourists should not venture into, you will be picked up by us at the airport and accompanied your entire stay. While in the bush you will only encounter nature. Yes, South Africa is safe. 6." }, { "question": "What's are the tipping procedures?", "answer": "Gratuities are always optional but tipping of the staff is a cultural and historical part of hunting in Africa. While always discretionary, we advise you tip a minimum of $50 per day for your PH and $50 per day to be divided amongst the staff (cook, trackers, maids, etc.) If it's a dangerous game hunt, tips of $100 per day to the PH are standard but again, all tipping is optional. 7." }, { "question": "What procedures are required for bringing a firearm into South Africa?", "answer": "Currently, bringing a firearm into South Africa requires that the possessor of the gun obtain a US Customs Form 4457 from their local customs office and also complete a South African Police Services (SAPS) form 520 prior to entering the country. Once you arrive, your gun case will be removed to the airport Police office where you will be required to enter and collect it. The gun will be inspected to ensure that the serial number matches the one depicted on your 4457. You will then receive a temporary import permit for the gun which must remain with you at all times. Upon departure from South Africa, the gun and case will be taken from check in to a small police annex where it again will be inspected to ensure that it is the same gun you entered the country with and your import permit will then be collected. We will provide you with the SAPS 520 which is included in our welcome package which all clients receive. As an option, services for hire are available which will secure your temporary import permit before you arrive in country. They will meet you at the airport and process you through the police station. These services are well worth the fee. 8." }, { "question": "What about bows?", "answer": "Bow cases will be removed to the police station just as rifle cases are. You will just need to collect them at the police station. No paperwork is involved. 9." }, { "question": "What is there to do for my non-hunting companion?", "answer": "Ken Moody Safaris/Fritz Rabe Adventures hunts various venues depending on what game we are pursuing. We can provide you a detailed listing on available observer activities once it is determined where we'll be hunting. 10." }, { "question": "On Package Hunts are the species interchangeable?", "answer": "Yes. Unlike other companies we do allow clients to swap game from their packages pending quota availability. If the trophy fees are the same you may swap at no additional fee. If you wish to swap out a species for a more expensive one, then you will just be charged the difference in trophy fees. We are very accommodating and do not practice \"bait and switch\" tactics all too prevalent in the safari business. You will leave us happy. 11." }, { "question": "What are the pros/cons to booking a daily rate/trophy fee hunt over a package?", "answer": "A daily rate/trophy fee hunt means that you will be charged a day fee per day for the number of days you are with us. This fee includes your professional hunter (guide), trackers, camp accommodations, food, drinks, laundry service, and trophy prep on all animals taken. You will then be charged a trophy fee for every animal shot on the hunt. This type of hunt allows you the freedom to take what you like and pay as you go. We recommend this type of hunt for clients wanting to hunt a particular species or animals of higher trophy quality. Package Hunts are all inclusive of daily rates and trophy fees for particular species. The package price is paid in full regardless of outcome. While we can present opportunity we cannot guarantee you will shoot. Package Hunts are less expensive in the long run than the daily rate/trophy fee hunt and best suited for the first timer who wishes to experience a safari and take a variety of good representative species. You would not pay for a package with a kudu on it and try and hold out for a 60\" or better Kudu. Remember, the package is paid in full regardless of outcome. Be prepared to shoot good, representative trophies or take the chance of not bagging something on your package. 12." }, { "question": "Are the areas hunted fenced?", "answer": "Yes, for the most part all hunting in South Africa is privatized and thus most private land is high fenced. Hunting on private lands means the game found there belongs to the landowner. He determines the quota of animals to be taken and the pricing on each. Fencing ensures that game stays on the property, deters poaching, and allows the landowner to control and manage the trophy quality and quantity of animals he wishes to maintain. It does NOT mean that the animals are tame or domesticated. These animals live and propagate in the wild and are considered wild game. Additionally, they exist on thousands of acres. Normally the areas we hunt are 10,000 acres or larger. All game existing on these properties were born there and range freely on the entirety of the property. We do not offer \"put and take\" hunting. Hunting areas in South Africa that are not high fenced require the client to obtain a provincial hunting license with state mandated quotas. If you are hunting an area that your PH tells you is open but you did not obtain a government hunting license then you are either hunting illegally or you are, in fact, hunting under high fence conditions and being misled. 13." }, { "question": "What rifle calibers are recommended for plains game?", "answer": "Any whitetail deer hunting caliber will work in Africa. Some of the best are .270, .308, .30/06, .300 WM, .338 WM, 7mm. You do not need a cannon for plains game. For dangerous game a .375 H&H Mag is the minimul legal caliber allowed. A good fixed 4 power or 3x9 variable scope is recommended. 14." }, { "question": "Are there any requirements for bowhunting?", "answer": "SA law has a kinetic energy (KE) requirement for hunting with a bow but practically any bow you utilize for hunting North American species will be fine for plains game. Don't worry about the KE requirement. We recommend compound bows of 60 pounds or better combined with arrows weighing 450 grains or better. Any good quality broadhead will work provided they are sharp and placed properly. Fixed blades, multiple blades, mechanical heads are all welcomed for compound bow hunters. As a traditional bow hunter I have found that a 50 pound or better longbow/recurve with 650 gr arrows topped with two blade, cut on contact broadheads to be capable of taking any sized plains game. We provide shots of generally 20 yards or less. Shot placement is the key to success! If you opt to not bring a backup bow we can have a replacement bow on site for you in the event your primary bow goes down and while there are no pro shops in the bush, we will have equipment and items on site to repair your bow if it is a minor issue. Additionally, a dozen or so arrows and broadheads should be sufficient. 16." }, { "question": "What's the weather like?", "answer": "The seasons are reversed from North America to southern Africa so the winter months in South Africa fall between May and September. June is the coldest month with temps sometimes reaching freezing at night but quickly getting up to the mid 60s to 70s F during the day. Expect temps from the 40s to 80s degrees F during the hunting season. 17." }, { "question": "What type and how much clothing should I bring?", "answer": "Given the temps described above we suggest clients bring a warm jacket, gloves, knit/warm cap, two sets of hunting attire, comfortable boots, two to three pairs of underwear, socks, and T shirts, camp lounging attire (track suit, flip flops, sneakers), shower shoes, etc. We will do laundry each day so do not overpack as you'll have fresh clothing daily. 18." }, { "question": "How much cash should I bring and do I need to exchange money?", "answer": "As stated earlier, your payments with us will go thru our US bank account so you needn't bring money to pay for the hunt. We will have that settled prior to your arrival. Cash for tips and casual shopping is suggested. $1000 to $2000 will be adequate. You will not need to exchange dollars for rand as everyone in SA takes US dollars. Additionally, credit cards are taken most places. 19." }, { "question": "Are rifles available for hire?", "answer": "Yes, we have rifles available for hire at very inexpensive rates, usually no charge. You will be required to pay for all ammo expended. 21." }, { "question": "Is there anything out of the ordinary I am missing?", "answer": "Well, you should know that you are required to have at least four blank pages left in your passport before departing. This rule is enforced so make sure you comply and renew your passport if necessary. Also, the police station can be a hassle when you're retrieving your firearms. Don't despair and remain patient. We will be there with you to expedite the process as best we can. Please note as well that you cannot bring two rifles of the same caliber in the same gun case. Don't ask me why but it's the law....and, ammo must be packed separately in a check in bag. It cannot be placed with the rifles in the gun case. Once you book your safari with us, we will provide you with a complete information packet including a packing list, SAPS 520, map of the airport, emergency contact numbers, etc. We've been doing this nearly three decades so we have the process down. Also, if you're traveling with children under 18 years old, please consult za.usembassy.gov/m_16042015/ for specifics regarding all required paperwork or google \"traveling with children to south africa.\"" } ]

However, if you live in an area which experiences particularly adverse weather, there are a number of garage door options which have been optimized to withstand extreme weather including high winds. These types of doors are usually constructed with additional struts which have been steel reinforced, upgraded the strength of springs, rollers, and tracks. These doors can usually withstand wind speeds of up to 170 miles per hour." }, { "question": "What horsepower value should I look for in my garage door?", "answer": "In order for the opener to lift and lower a garage door efficiently, a sufficient level power is needed. Typically, a door opener with 1/3 HP (Horsepower) is adequate for a garage designed for a single car and about ½ HP for a two-car garage. If you opt for a carriage house design of wood door, the opener should be powered with ½ HP engine." }, { "question": "What is the solution for a deformed spring?", "answer": "In this case, we recommend that the component gets replaced as soon as possible. A deformed spring will cause the door to open more slowly. In this way, all the connected hardware parts and the opener will strain more, making them more likely to wear quickly. You would not want to take this risk." }, { "question": "My door keeps freezing shut when it's cold, what do I do?", "answer": "Luckily there is a simple trick for this. You can use some silicone spray on a rag and wipe it on the base of the door and sides as a preventative measure - this should also prevent the door from freezing shut." } ]

Be sure to uninstall any Photoshop trials that might show up in your add/remove programs as well. I would go ahead with the uninstall/reinstall as a troubleshooting step. Do that and let us know what happens with the trial screen popping up." }, { "question": "Why is there no Preset Manager for 3d Materials?", "answer": "In CS6 you can save individual presets but cannot reorder or group presets selectively into project sets. I suppose you could make your own sets by deleting all presets from the panel and then start all over from scratch by re-entering every single value in every single field for every single face for every single material you have already worked up, but what a time wasting kludge!" }, { "question": "Why is the User Interface of CS6 so Teeny Tiny?", "answer": ":~( The main problem for me is seeing the increments on the Ruler. In my experience light on dark is difficult to see in general. I know that I am not the only one who has this problem, because I came across the thread on Photoshop.com last night about this topic." }, { "question": "Hi Elaine, Thanks for the questions — Are you on a Mac or Windows?", "answer": "Photoshop’s interface colors are adjustable, in the case you’d prefer dark text and light interface. Preferences > Interface > Color Theme — There are 4 neutral tones to choose from. In terms of the size of the interface, There is also the option in that same preferences dialog for the UI Font Size. Setting this to large may help increase the visibility for you. You will need to restart Photoshop to see this preference’s effect. Another thing you could also look into is the resolution of your monitor. If on mac it’s system settins > Displays and On windows you can adjust the resolution as well with the Display>Screen resolution control panel. Setting the monitor’s resolution to a lower resolution will also increase the perceived size of Photoshop’s user interface. I just want to know how do I drape a pattern swatch that I have designed using a photograph such as a dress/shirt in photoshop cs6 to see what the design would look like. hey i use PS cs5 extended on a windows 7 machine… when i rasterize a layer, i cant use the artistic & brush strokes filters on that layer because those two gets grayed out.. i would like to know if there are any ways i can use them. I use Photoshop 7.01 on an XP and print to an Epson 7600 Ultrachrome inks printer. All prints come out fine. The newer OS systems don’t support the Epson 7600 drivers so I continue to use this setup and it works flawlessly for the fine art portraiture I usually do; however, I have run into a problem with Banner printing. When I go to Page Setup and enter in the appropriate info: Paper size, 2400 x 9000 for a 24 inch x 90 inch banner, choose Roll Paper (banner) select the appropriate Media, etc., then Print Preview shows the image incorrectly! This never happens with other images, they always display properly. What happens with the Banner image that was created in Photoshop as PDF and I converted to a JPEG is that Print Preview changes the dimensions to something @ 1/2 the Image Size. What shows up is a thin sliver of a bar and if I use Print Preview from the Printer dialog box the Image is only partially there (@ 40% of it). I defintiely could use help developing a workaround on this…. When I try to open a raw file in CS6 it locks up. It doesn’t matter how I try to open it, from CS6, by going to the “file, open with”, or with Bridge. Other files open up fine. Even after I put a new subject in my HP printer, the printer keeps reprinting a previous subject." }, { "question": "Was it ever resolved?", "answer": "I’m using PS CS6 extended V13 x64 on an iMac running OS-X 10.7.5. I get an intractable “Documents must be saved before they can be merged” message attempting to use photomerge make panoramas. BUT it only happens when the images are in portrait (vertical) format. Landscape format images taken of the same scenes with the same (Canon EOS 500D) camera merge perfectly well. it does not matter if i read the files from the camera SD card or from my local HD. The files look identical in every way (permissions etc). This is very peculiar, and very frustrating, Some help would be appreciated." }, { "question": "Can you post a set of affected files on Dropbox so we can try and debug?", "answer": "I desperately need help right now. I recently installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 but I cannot find the “Motion Workspace”. I think another workspace is missing." }, { "question": "Are you looking under Window>Workspace>Motion?", "answer": "Help! I have Photoshop 7 on my laptop. I was editing pictures for our family reunion and I was making a display of several pictures on a blank file white page, then saving as a jpeg. Something happend and now the white page work area is one third the size where I placed my pictures. I could not undo it…don’t know how to fix it. I am on a short timeline and totally frustrated. I used the undo button until it was no more." }, { "question": "I closed the program out and restarted and it is still one third the size (file, new, blank) Do you know how to fix this?", "answer": "Thanks!!! recently returned from the middle east, and have lost the use of my right arm. Is therre away in Photoshop that allows you to press a key and have it function as being held down while you can move the mouse. Example, in cs6, doing the extract function, if you select too much you can press and hold down the ALT key and moving the mouse to deselected parts of your image. I can manage multiple keys at the same time, but not mouse movements too. Really enjoy Photoshop and worked with it since photoshop 7. Hi Mike, Many devices let you map ALT & SHIFT keys to buttons on the device (e.g. multi-button mice or Wacom pen). This is usually done in the device driver." }, { "question": "Let me know if this makes sense?", "answer": "My CS5 has 32 bits and a 64 bit version, but I can only use 32 bit version now . I may delete the 64 bit version. I read and tried many online sources about switching between 32 and 64 version. It wouldn’t work for me. Now I try to uninstall the CS5 and reinstall it all over again . ( I have installation CD ). The PS will not let me do uninstall it. It keeps telling me to close the bridge which it is already closed and there is nothing I can close anymore. Now I can’t uninstall the CS5, need some help about this. Sometimes when I click on my image with a selection tool the image goes away. All I see is a black screen. The selection tool does its thing, but I can’t see what’s going on because the image is gone!" }, { "question": "How do I create a template for; title, name, date, and apply to subsequent photos?", "answer": "Repeat typeing for each photo is a pain. I purchased Photoshop element 3.0 probably 8-9 yrs ago for my notebook. I hadn’t had the chance to use my notebook much because I left it in another country. 2 yrs ago I was able to bring back my notebook to the UK. I managed to open it but it is terribly slow and dysfunctional in many ways." }, { "question": "Would it possible to transfer the photoshop elements 3.0 to my new laptop so I can finally benefit the use of the program ?", "answer": "I have taken beautiful photos the past 2 years and would love to start editing it in Photoshop. Many thanks for your help. It wasn’t really designed to run on modern operating systems. It may be worth it to upgrade to the latest version (Elements 12) which supports Win 7/8. The DPI/PPI setting doesn’t affect the overall pixel dimension of the camera’s files. If you want the DPI setting to be higher, I’d recommend opening JPEGs through the Camera Raw plug-in and set the DPI/PPI in Camera Raw’s workflow options. I have always been a Windows user and I have my CS2 for around 10 years… And this year I just bought a MACBOOK AIR. I downloaded the CS2 MAC from adobe website but at the end of the installation it fails." }, { "question": "Wont I be able to install it at my new laptop?", "answer": "Resave the file as JPEG file. The Photoshop Express editor can resize and resave JPEG files." }, { "question": "Why does the picture turn red when I turn on the effect?", "answer": "Hi can you please tell me if photoshop works with windows 8 touch screen. can I use the touch screen like a drawing board. Support for Multi-Touch gestures for Win 8 is forthcoming feature. Stay tuned." }, { "question": "am i abel to move my photoshop 8 from my old computer to a new one or do i have to buy a new one?", "answer": "If you’re on Mac, Elements 8 doesn’t run on Intel macs. If you’re on Windows, it may run on a Windows 8, but you may need to run in Compatibility Mode. After you’ve applied all the updates, launch Photoshop CS6 and choose “License This Software” and enter your serial # and/or sign in to activate your product.

Whenever I save my photo, I save it as a JPEG. Well, every time I do this my image turns green or washed out looking." }, { "question": "Where are you viewing the JPEG when it looks washed out?", "answer": "It’s likely your viewing in a non-colormanaged application. Convert the color profile to sRGB to get the closest color representation when viewing in non-managed scenario. after many years with Elements, I purchased PS cc.

It went crazy during an exam. Her professor claimed it was CC problems he couldn’t believe it either never seen that." }, { "question": "I wish we could just buy good old photoshop and download it but was told by adobe not an option but at my daughter’s school many do just do this – not sure how?", "answer": "I would highly suggest students consider carefully before using CC for class exams and classes (which defies purpose of a student edition) but if it cannot be relied upon its useless. She lost 1/2 of the exam time’s work, had to restart on in classroom computer and redo it all in half the time. She luckily got a b grade but CC cost her a whole letter grade no doubt. I know they like the monthly fee – more money but if its constantly getting bugs in it like this that ruin a student grade it is shameful. Without specific details it’s hard to say what issue is. I only see one tech support case since she started with her membership in 10/13 asking how to install on a second computer which was closed on first contact.

Hi, I’ve got Photoshop CS6 and I’m often using the lighting function. But since 6 months, the ellipse has disappeared and I can’t orientate the ray of light anymore." }, { "question": "What can I do to find the ellipse again?", "answer": "Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

The other thing to look at is your email provider. Some email providers recompress images when you email them, so that may be another part of the problem. While working on an image in PS CC15…I often get a yellow triangle bordered by black with a black apostrophe in it." }, { "question": "– If I buy Photoshop CC and pay per month, will my OS-system accept it?", "answer": "If so, I am prepared to accept the special offer of SEK 90:- per month for Photoshop CC and Lightroom.

[ { "question": "How do you price your financial advisory services?", "answer": "1. Please tell me about the financial planning process. Financial planning is the process of meeting your life goals through the proper management of your finances. It is a multi-step process that provides you with two important things: (1) An in-depth review of your current financial situation, and (2) a blueprint that shows you how to achieve your goals and objectives for the future. It is important to remember that financial planning is a process . . . not an event. 2." }, { "question": "How do you create this blueprint?", "answer": "First we focus on your goals, objectives, priorities and values. For instance: the reduction of current and future income taxes may be an immediate goal, funding a quality education for your children and/or grandchildren may be an intermediate goal, and enjoying a secure financial future in your retirement years is likely to be one of your most important long-term goals. You may already be on the road to meeting these objectives and simply need a new strategy, professional insight, or to fine-tune your plan. You may just be starting out, or you may be somewhere in between. Whatever your unique situation may be, everyone needs a periodic assessment of where they are on the road to meeting their financial goals. That's why we offer an in-depth review of your current financial situation. Next, you need to know how you can set about achieving (or continue working toward) your financial goals. By focusing on cash flow, investments, taxes, pensions and retirement plans, estate planning, insurance issues, savings opportunities and other general financial matters, we design a customized financial plan for you. Finally, to achieve the intended results, you must implement and monitor your plan. 3. Sounds like a lot of work! It may seem like that at first, but the good news is, if you follow your plan and maintain a disciplined approach, you can rest well knowing you can reach your stated goals. At Landmark Financial Advisory Services, we try to make the process as easy as possible for you. In addition to receiving professional advice on your most important financial concerns, we can also provide implementation assistance if appropriate for your needs." }, { "question": "4. Who can benefit most from your services?", "answer": "Any individual seeking financial peace of mind can benefit from our services. We serve people at all income levels, from all walks of life. Clients have the flexibility to work with us either on an hourly, as-needed basis (where applicable) or an on-going project basis. We welcome clients who simply need a one-time financial consultation or a second opinion, as well as those who need more thorough financial planning. 5." }, { "question": "What is \"Fee-Only\" financial planning and why should that be important to me?", "answer": "Because we are Fee-Only financial planners, all conflicts of interest regarding compensation are removed. We do not accept sales commissions; we work solely for our clients. Because we do not sell financial products such as investments and insurance, there are no third-party relationships or outside influences to color our thinking and financial recommendations. In addition, our firm is a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA); as such, we must comply with a host of regulations designed to protect the consumer. One important question you should always ask when considering a financial planner's services: \"May I please have a copy of your Form ADV Part II?\" This document contains important information about the planner's qualifications, fiduciary duties, history of any past violations, etc. We would be happy to send you a copy of our Form ADV Part II. Please contact us to request your copy, or simply download and read our Form ADV Part II from the Client Forms section of this website. 6. I understand the benefits of working with a Fee-Only financial planner, but I might need to obtain financial products." }, { "question": "How will I be able to do that?", "answer": "While we do not sell financial products, we will offer specific recommendations and opinions regarding the purchase of the various financial products that may be appropriate for you. So, if you need to obtain insurance coverage, invest in a portfolio of mutual funds, or find an estate planning attorney or tax professional, we can direct you to the resources you need and/or help you obtain these products and services. If appropriate, we can also help you implement your plan and set up your accounts. 7." }, { "question": "Does Landmark Financial Advisory Services provide only financial planning?", "answer": "No. Although a financial plan can provide the greatest benefits, we can limit our advisory services to your specific needs, such as cash management and budgeting, investment analysis or college education funding. 8. My spouse and I are just beginning to build for our financial future. There is so much to learn! We need help and guidance to get started." }, { "question": "Will you accept us as clients?", "answer": "Yes. Some firms have income levels and/or net worth minimums but, at Landmark Financial Advisory Services, we realize that everyone has financial needs. We are proud to work with people from all income levels, and all walks of life. Remember, \"You don't have to have a fortune to start building one.\" Call us today and let's get started. 9. I have already accumulated substantial assets and think I am doing quite well. But as I progress and build for the future, things seem to be getting more complicated. I want to be sure I am on track, but I don't always have the time or inclination to manage the myriad details by myself." }, { "question": "Can you help me?", "answer": "Yes. People who need more sophisticated financial planning or advice will find our services appealing and beneficial. If you have a desire to simplify your financial affairs, you can engage us on an on-going basis. Or, if you are looking for a professional review or a second opinion to ensure you are on track, we can provide that, too. 10." }, { "question": "What types of securities do you provide advice for?", "answer": "We provide advice on most types of securities, including mutual funds, stocks, bonds, bank deposits, variable and fixed annuities, and (where appropriate) \"alternative investments\" such as hard assets and real estate. We also provide advice on mortgages, budgeting and cash flow issues, 401(k), 403(b) and other retirement programs, stock options, life and disability insurance, etc. If it has to do with money and finances, we can provide counseling, guidance and/or resources for you. Because we want our clients to know that they can call on us with any and all of their financial concerns, we have developed the slogan \"Financial Planning and Advice for Everyday Life.\" Clients are encouraged to call us when they have a major life event, such as a new job, a baby, a marriage or divorce, or if they are planning to buy a new home or start their own business. We also encourage our clients to call us with more common everyday questions, such as: \"How should I invest within my 401(k) or 403(b) plan?\" \"How can I reduce my taxes?\" \"What advice can you offer on refinancing my home?\" \"How can I maximize my Flex Spending Account, Cafeteria Plan or Section 125 Plan at work?\" 11." }, { "question": "If I use Landmark Financial Advisory Services to develop a financial plan, am I obligated to purchase the recommended products?", "answer": "Absolutely not. We will offer recommendations which in our professional opinion will meet your needs and objectives, but you are under no obligation to purchase them. In today's competitive market, it makes sense to shop around for the best available product or service. For instance, if you need to obtain a life insurance or disability policy, we will suggest the kind of policy, which riders and what amounts may be best for you. We will then direct you to a choice of companies that can provide a quality product at competitive prices for you. If you wish, we can help you purchase investments and/or set up your accounts with a third-party custodian such as a discount broker. 12. Tell me about your investment philosophy. As financial planners and investment consultants, we believe in the following fundamental principals with regard to designing an investment portfolio and making specific recommendations: The purpose of a client's investment portfolio is to fund current and/or future financial objectives. The design of the portfolio must take into account the client's financial objectives, tolerance for risk, needs for current income or liquidity, and special considerations such as income and estate taxes. The important thing to remember is that no one can predict the future. It is this difference of opinion that makes a market. Investment and economic \"experts\" provided with the same information often come to different conclusions. We do not suggest that we can, or that any of the money managers or mutual fund managers that we recommend, will make the correct decision every time. The appropriate allocation of investment assets for your goals and risk tolerance is the most important component in developing an investment portfolio. We believe that having a diversified, well-balanced portfolio, following long-term buy-and-hold strategies, and having patience, will increase the likelihood that one will achieve their long-term financial objectives. 13." }, { "question": "How do you select investments for a client?", "answer": "Before we recommend any investment, we consider how this investment fits within your portfolio given your objectives, your tolerance for risk, and your capacity to bear financial risk. As fiduciaries for our clients, we strive to obtain the most appropriate investment vehicles to meet your objectives, while being very conscious of total expenses and risk exposure. 14." }, { "question": "How do you price your financial advisory services?", "answer": "The fees are based on the actual time involved in meeting with you in person or over the phone, researching and analyzing your current situation, and providing specific recommendations and implementation assistance (if appropriate). Hourly rates are $250 per hour. 15." }, { "question": "How much will my financial plan cost?", "answer": "Financial planning fees are determined on a project basis; the total fee for a financial plan will vary from client to client based on the specific needs and complexity of your situation. For example, a simple financial plan may cost anywhere from $2,500 to $3,500, whereas a more complex plan may cost between $4,500 and $5,500 (or more). In every case, it's important for you to know and remember that an accurate estimate is provided at the Get Acquainted Meeting (once your specific personal needs are fully identified) and that ALL charges are fully disclosed IN ADVANCE and BEFORE you hire us. 16." }, { "question": "Are your fees tax deductible?", "answer": "No. The passage of president Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the itemized deduction for tax and/or investment advice as a Schedule A miscellaneous itemized deduction. 17." }, { "question": "Once my financial plan is completed, will our relationship end?", "answer": "It may, but it doesn't have to. We encourage you to review your financial situation at least twice a year and contact us if you have any questions and/or need our help. Because financial planning is a process, not an event, we offer ongoing services, periodic reviews and day-to-day consultation as requested and/or needed. 18." }, { "question": "How can I get started?", "answer": "The first step is an initial inquiry from you.
