[ { "question": "Can you reduce noise in pool equipment?", "answer": "Yes! Most pools are much quieter following a Pooled Energy system implementation. Most existing filter pumps are single speed and operate continuously at full power, and are consequently noisy. Some pool owners find that such pumps too noisy to run at night using low-cost electricity, or they are irritating whenever they do run. Pooled Energy will supply a variable-speed electronic drive for your existing filter pump. This pump will be controlled by our Intelligent Pool Controller to run at low and medium speed, substantially reducing acoustic noise. They can operate at night without disturbing others in a great many cases. Supplementary pool sweeps and solar pumps have to run at full rated speed and can therefore be noisy, especially if they are older technology. If so, you may need an acoustic enclosure, depending on where you live. In most cases, Pooled Energy will run such pumps for relatively short periods and at times when they are unlikely to cause problems." } ]

[ { "question": "What are the requirements for a certificate or certification?", "answer": "The POCUS Certification Academy is designed for individuals with education or experience in healthcare.

Additionally, you’ll be required to complete a Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement before starting the assessments. Specific experiential requirements at the certificate and certification level may apply. There are no additional requirements for the POCUS Fundamentals Certificate. However, it is recommended that applicants have education and experience in ultrasound physics prior to enrollment. For a Clinical or a Specialty Certification, enrollment is available for healthcare practitioners whose scope of practice allows them to use POCUS to make a diagnosis or to enhance their clinical and therapeutic decision-making. In addition, you must satisfy the experience requirements related to the appropriate content area(s) which are satisfied through the acquisition and interpretation of at least a certain number of cases for the content area within the past two years." }, { "question": "What are the exams I have to take to earn a certificate or certification?", "answer": "Different certificates have different assessments. An overview is provided here, but more details can be found in the How to Prepare section. For the Point-of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Fundamentals Certificate, you have to complete 8 (eight) modules (by either completing the Reviews or Knowledge Checks), and you have to pass a 35 question, multiple-choice examination. Once you register, you will be given 30 (thirty) days to complete the process. For the Clinical Certificates and Specialty Certifications, you have to complete a Peer Evaluation concerning your POCUS abilities for the content area(s) of interest, as well as a Clinical Case Assessment for each content area. For the Clinical Certificates, you will have 90 (ninety) days to complete both the Peer Evaluation and the Clinical Case Assessment once you register. For the Specialty Certifications, you will have 180 days from registration to complete all assessment components (the Peer Evaluation and all of the Clinical Case Assessments). The Clinical Case Assessment presents simulated cases with questions regarding POCUS. The number of cases presented varies by content area, and the number of questions per case also varies per content area. A good rule of thumb is to allow 20-30 minutes per case, but many will people will find that they actually use less time." }, { "question": "Why was the POCUS Certification AcademyTM established?", "answer": "The American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography ARDMS® is the internationally recognized standard of excellence in sonography with over 90,000 active certificants in 25 countries. In recent years, it became clear to ARDMS® that the global ultrasound landscape is changing. Technological innovations in ultrasound have made the use of sonography increasingly affordable, ultrasound devices more portable, and new applications for ultrasound are being utilized. ARDMS® realizes that the widespread adoption of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) by non-traditional users makes ultrasound more acceptable and more popular. In an effort to ensure that all users of ultrasound, including POCUS users, are proficient and able to provide safe and appropriate care to patients, a dedicated volunteer Task Force of POCUS experts was convened in 2011 and charged with overseeing the development of a POCUS assessment program with global reach." }, { "question": "How is the POCUS Certification AcademyTM program governed and who creates the assessments?", "answer": "The Alliance for Physician Certification & Advancement (APCA) is part of the Inteleos family of Councils that also includes ARDMS. Spun out of ARDMS in 2016 to meet the exclusive needs of physicians, the APCA Council already represents over 20,000 physician certificants. APCA joins ARDMS in furthering its long-standing mission of raising the global standards of excellence in healthcare and patient safety through certification. In January 2016, the APCA Council, led by physician volunteers, assumed oversight of the physician-specific certifications and examinations, as well as the POCUS Certification Academy. A volunteer POCUS Academy Task Force was responsible for the development of the POCUS Certification Academy. The Task Force created assessments that are shorter in length, with more focused content, than traditional ARDMS and APCA assessments, and that can be delivered in alternative, technology-based formats to accommodate test takers in many locations and in geographies with varying infrastructure and resources. Today, the Task Force has become the POCUS Assessment Committee. This group of international, cross-specialty volunteer subject matter experts continues to provide direction for the POCUS Certification Academy and to oversee the multiple groups of volunteer practitioners contributing to assessment development, review and approval. The Fundamentals Certificate fee is waived for physicians who hold ARDMS and APCA certifications. There are also group discounts available for organizations who wish to purchase multiple certificates and certifications. Find a complete pricing information for POCUS certification and certificates. The fee must be submitted at the time of application. If you do not complete the required assessments within the designated time frames, your application will expire and all fees will be forfeited. Once your application expires, you will need to reapply. Requests for cancellations or refunds may be submitted until a candidate starts an assessment. Neither Full nor Partial Refunds will be issued for any certificate or certification for which an assessment has been started or for which the completion time has expired.

Check your registration on the Minnesota Secretary of State's website. Pre-registration ensures convenience and quicker service when you arrive at the polls on Election Day. You can register on Election Day, however you will need to bring proof of residency with you. Please note there is a registration cut-off prior to every primary and every general election of 20 days before both the Primary Election and General Election Day. For registration after the cut-off, the best thing to do is register at the polls. Please check with our office for accurate dates. For those who live in a residential facility including nursing homes, women's shelters, homeless shelters or other licensed facilities, an employee may vouch that you live there (if the facility has provided the county with a certified list of employees). A voter may register and vote by having someone who is registered in the same precinct “vouch” for their residence. The voucher may be pre-registered in the precinct or have registered on Election Day, however they may not be vouched for. The registered voter signs an oath attesting or vouching to the new registrant’s residence in the precinct. Vouchers within the polling place on Election Day can vouch for up to 15 voters, as long as they personally know the voters live within the precinct. *Note: The utility bill must have your name, current address, and be due within 30 days of the election.

[ { "question": "3.1 What are some typical applications for active noise control?", "answer": "The most successful demonstrations of active control have been for controlling noise in enclosed spaces such as ducts, vehicle cabins, exhaust pipes, and headphones. Note, however, that successful demonstrations are many, but successful commercial products are few. One exception, active noise control headphones, has achieved widespread commercial success. Active headphones use destructive interference to cancel low-frequency noise while still allowing the wearer to hear mid- and high-frequency sounds such as conversation and warning sirens. The system comprises a pair of earmuffs containing speakers and one or more small circuit boards. Some include a built-in battery pack, and many allow exterior signal inputs such as music or voice communications. Used extensively by pilots, active headphones are considered indispensable in helicopters and noisy propeller-driven aircraft. Prices have dropped in recent years. (See Section 3.2 for information about an active control conversion kit available for US$100.) Passenger headsets, which lack the microphone boom found on pilots headsets, are even cheaper. Some sell for less than US$100, and are readily found in catalogs and specialty gift shops such as \"Brookstone\". Another application that has seen some commercial success is active mufflers for industrial engine exhaust stacks. Active control mufflers have seen years of service on commercial compressors, generators, and so forth. As unit prices for active automobile mufflers have fallen in recent years, several automobile manufacturers are now considering active mufflers for future production cars. However, if you ask your local new car dealer about the active muffler option on their latest model, you will likely receive a blank stare: no production automobiles feature active mufflers as of this writing. Large industrial fans have also benefited from active control. Speakers placed around the fan intake or outlet not only reduce low-frequency noise downstream and/or upstream, but they also improve efficiency to such an extent that they pay for themselves within a year or two. The idea of canceling low-frequency noise inside vehicle cabins has received much attention. Most major aircraft manufacturers are developing such systems, especially for noisy propeller-driven aircraft. Speakers in the wall panels can reduce noise generated as the propeller tips pass by the aircraft fuselage. For instance, a system by Noise Cancellation Technologies (NCT) now comes as standard equipment on the new Saab 2000 and 340B+ aircraft. The key advantage is a dramatic weight savings compared to passive treatments alone. Automobile manufacturers are considering active control for reducing low-frequency noise inside car interiors. The car stereo speakers superpose cancellation signals over the normal music signal to cancel muffler noise and other sounds. For example, Lotus produces such a system for sale to other automobile manufacturers. Unit cost is a major consideration for automobile use. While such systems are not at all common, at least one vehicle (currently offered only in Japan) includes such a system as a factory option. The following list of applications for active control of noise and vibration was compiled by Colin Hansen and is used by permission; see IS&VD 1(2). The list includes topics which are currently being investigated by research groups throughout the world. Control of aircraft interior noise by use of lightweight vibration sources on the fuselage and acoustic sources inside the fuselage. Reduction of helicopter cabin noise by active vibration isolation of the rotor and gearbox from the cabin. Reduction of noise radiated by ships and submarines by active vibration isolation of interior mounted machinery (using active elements in parallel with passive elements) and active reduction of vibratory power transmission along the hull, using vibration actuators on the hull. Reduction of internal combustion engine exhaust noise by use of acoustic control sources at the exhaust outlet or by use of high intensity acoustic sources mounted on the exhaust pipe and radiating into the pipe at some distance from the exhaust outlet. Reduction of low frequency noise radiated by industrial noise sources such as vacuum pumps, forced air blowers, cooling towers and gas turbine exhausts, by use of acoustic control sources. Lightweight machinery enclosures with active control for low frequency noise reduction. Control of tonal noise radiated by turbo-machinery (including aircraft engines). Reduction of low frequency noise propagating in air conditioning systems by use of acoustic sources radiating into the duct airway. Reduction of electrical transformer noise either by using a secondary, perforated lightweight skin surrounding the transformer and driven by vibration sources or by attaching vibration sources directly to the transformer tank. Use of acoustic control sources for this purpose is also being investigated, but a large number of sources are required to obtain global control. Reduction of noise inside automobiles using acoustic sources inside the cabin and lightweight vibration actuators on the body panels." }, { "question": "3.2 Are all 'active headphones' the same?", "answer": "No. Two types are often called \"active,\" but only one actually uses noise cancellation. For the sake of discussion, let's call the two types \"active headphones\" and \"amplified earmuffs\". Active headphones rely primarily on noise cancellation for low-frequency quieting. In some, the earmuffs themselves provide relatively little passive noise reduction. In others, the earmuffs provide as much passive reduction as possible, using noise cancellation to get even better performance at low frequencies. In any case, the unit includes a microphone inside each earcup to monitor the \"error\"-the part of the signal that has not been cancelled by the speakers. A pilot's headset also includes a microphone boom to transmit the pilots voice, and an input jack to transmit communication signals into the earcups. The noise cancellation works best on tones or periodic noise like that from an aircraft propeller. Some models, such as the NoiseBuster Extreme! from Noise Cancellation Technologies (www.nct-active.com), retail for less than US$100. Amplified earmuffs have also been suggested for use by sufferers of tinnitus (\"ringing of the ears\"), a condition that can be aggravated by loud noises. But amplified earmuffs should not be confused with true active noise control headphones. Numerous microphone-based products, such as cell phones and computer microphones, use electronic cancellation methods to reduce background noise." }, { "question": "3.3 What are the benefits of active control?", "answer": "The many practical benefits of active control technology are not all obvious at first glance. The main payoff, of course, is low-frequency quieting that would be too expensive, inconvenient, impractical, or heavy by passive methods alone. For example, the lead-impregnated sheets used to reduce aircraft cabin propeller noise impose a severe weight penalty, but active control might perform as well with a much smaller weight penalty. Of these, the potential for reduced maintenance and increased material fatigue life have received new emphasis in recent years. In the long-term, however, benefits may extend far beyond those mentioned above. The compact size and modularity of active systems can provide additional flexibility in product design, even to the point of a complete product redesign." }, { "question": "3.4 What was that short story by Arthur C. Clarke?", "answer": "Arthur C. Clarke's short story entitled \"Silence Please\" appeared in his 1954 collection \"Tales from the White Hart\" (reprinted in 1970 by Harcourt, Brace & World Inc., New York). In it, Harry Purvis recounts the tale of the ill-fated \"Fenton Silencer,\" an anti-noise device that goes disastrously awry." }, { "question": "3.5 How can I do a simple, inexpensive active control demo?", "answer": "From this site you can download a simple Windows-compatible program that conducts a demonstration of sound cancellation (which, in a narrow sense, is a form of active noise control.) All you need is a PC, a sound card, and two speakers. The program plays a \"disturbance\" sound from one speaker and a \"control\" sound from the other, and demonstrate that one speaker can cancel sound from the other. No fuss, no mess. Of course, you can demonstrate cancellation without the software if you have a stereo amplifier, two speakers, and a way to generate a send a pure-tone signal to the amplifier (such as a signal generator). First, play a pure tone through both speakers. Move the speakers close together and far apart; you'll notice no real change in the sound level. Then, cross-wire one of the speakers (i.e., swap the positive and negative wires). Move the speakers close together and you'll hear the sound level fall dramatically. Experiment with different frequencies to find what works best for your particular setup. Again, these setups only demonstrate that one sound wave can cancel another, and some would argue that this is not truly active noise control. A simple analog system for feedback active control consists of a microphone sensor, a loudspeaker actuator, and an equalizer to correct for the delay from the speaker to the microphone and for the transfer function of the speaker itself. The microphone is usually placed close to the speaker, since the system transfer function (from power amplifier to output of mic preamp) is increasingly difficult to equalize as the mic moves away from the speaker. (The phase change goes from gradual to rapid as frequency increases). A disturbance input at the sensor (low frequency acoustic noise) can be attenuated by the proper choice of equalization. The zone of silence around the sensor is approximately 1/10th of the wavelength of the noise to be attenuated. The system can be equalized by taking data into a sound card on a PC, determining the transfer function, and equalizing it with a biquad op-amp circuit using, for example, 4 op-amps. • Ostergaard, P.B., \"A simple harmonic oscillator teaching apparatus with active velocity feedback,\" Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Vol. 99, No. 2, February 1996." } ]

[ { "question": "What if I can’t come for regular acupuncture treatments?", "answer": "Qi pronounced as “chee”, is the substance of life. As the basis of the universe’s infinite manifestations, Qi is present in all life forms. Pathways of Qi run throughout the body and are known as meridians or channels. Qi flows within the channels to supplies life and energy to every cell and organ in human body. When systemic Qi flow is blocked, disharmony is crested and imbalances is arise which cause disorders. Acupuncture is a therapy developed more that 2000 years ago in Asia. It consists of stimulating specific anatomic points in the body by the insertion of needles into the skin for therapeutic purpose. These points are gateways to stimulate and activate the body’s self-healing mechanisms. It is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which also includes the application of heat, acupressure, friction, suction, impulses of electromagnetic energy, and herbal medicine. The basic idea behind acupuncture, according to ancient theory, is that energy flows within the human body and can be stimulated to create balance and health. The energy flow or vital force i.e. Qi moves throughout the body along 12 main channels known as meridians. These meridians represent the major organs and functions of the body although they do not follow the exact pathways of nerves or blood flow. The goal of acupuncture is to correct imbalances of flow and restore health through stimulation, generally by inserting needles through the skin at points alone the meridians of the body. Current acupuncture information lists up to 400 different acupuncture points for various health problems. Scientists have attempted to explain the actual physical effects of acupuncture on the human body. Some researchers suggest that pain relief happens when acupuncture needles stimulate nerves. Another well accepted theory is that acupuncture releases pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins and serotonin. Acupuncture may also be effective because it targets painful tender points, sometimes called trigger points. Additionally, acupuncture may decrease pain-causing inflammation by stimulating the body’s pituitary gland to release cortisol, a hormone that is known to reduce inflammation. Although the exact manner in which acupuncture works is unknown, the treatment appears helpful for certain medical illnesses in certain people at certain times. The vast majority of patients do not consider acupuncture a painful procedure. Some patients may experience a vague numbness, heaviness, tingling, or dull ache when the needle is inserted, most feel nothing at all. Sometimes people experience “Qi sensation” which is a sensation of energy spreading and moving around the needle. All these reactions are good signs indicating favorable results from the acupuncture treatment. Some acupuncture points are totally painless in most of the patients; however some points can be sensitive. Women are usually more sensitive to needling when about to start their menstruation or during their menstruation. After treatment, you may feel energized or may experience a deep sense of relaxation and well being. Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is an all-natural, drug free therapy, with no side effects except minor complains ranging from bruising to needle pain and lasting less than a week with no serious adverse effects. There is little or no danger of infection from acupuncture needles because they are disposable needles which are sterile and one-time use. According to the 1997 Consensus Statement on Acupuncture, the NIH (National Institutes of Health) reported, \"One of the advantages of acupuncture is that the incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower than that of many drugs or other accepted medical procedures used for the same conditions.\" The number of treatments varies from individuals and also depend on the nature of your problems and how your body responds to the treatment. This is a very difficult question to give a straight answer to. In Chinese Medicine, we speak in terms of courses of treatments. One course is considered ten to twelve acupuncture treatments or weeks of herbal therapy. Some people will notice improvement after a single treatment. Others take longer to respond as acupuncture requires a cumulative effect. The rule of thumb is that for acute problems you may only need a few treatments such as 2-3 times per week and for chronic problems you may need a few months of treatments with 1-2 times treatment per week. In general if you do not notice some results after having five to seven treatments, a different approach should be considered or further diagnosis needs to be performed to identify the root cause. Herbs can be a powerful adjunct to acupuncture treatment. They are used to strengthen, build and support the body. Herbal prescription may be recommended along with acupuncture treatment to build up your internal strength so you can receive the full benefits that acupuncture offers. Herbal therapy is an effective option for those who are unable to come regularly or will miss consistent acupuncture treatments due to various reasons. Combining the modalities of herbs and acupuncture creates a synergist treatment pair, each increasing the power of the other. Herbal therapy can fill in for the interval between acupuncture treatments to support the body for those who miss few acupuncture treatments. Website by Lei-Lei C. Wang.

Try to space out your sips to keep them coming steadily throughout the day rather than gulping a lot at once, which could leave you feeling uncomfortably full. Once you’re in established labour, you’ll probably find that you don’t want to eat much or anything at all. But labour is thirsty work, and delivery rooms can be very hot. So you will certainly want something to drink. aquamamma® is an ideal beverage to support hydration and thus keep you hydrated during pregnancy and labour. HEALTHY EATING DURING AND AFTER PREGNANCY. Nutrition is essential to maintain healthy body function, and now more than ever, nutrition is essential to assist your growing baby. Stock your home with healthy fresh foods, remember, what is stored in your pantry is what your family and future children will eat. From as early as a few months old, your baby will be watching what you consume! Know your produce – Choose foods which are in season and therefore good value for money, stay local! Prepare and cook the majority of foods yourself, thus knowing and controlling the ingredients. Vitamins and minerals are needed in greater amounts in pregnancy and the easiest way to address these needs is through a balanced diet. Folic acid is important for growth and development pre-pregnancy and in the first trimester. A daily supplement of folic acid is recommended from before conception until at least the end of the first trimester (at least 400micrograms/day). A small number of women (including those with a family history of neural tube defects and those on certain medications) require a higher dose of folic acid (5mg /day). Iodine is critical for your baby’s brain development and most of us have a diet deficient in iodine. Make sure that you used iodised salt when cooking and that your prenatal vitamin supplement includes iodine. Iron needs are greatly increased in pregnancy, as the baby will be laying down its stores for the first 6 months of life. Breastfeeding places great demand upon your iron stores. Good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, and leafy green vegetables. Taking your iron supplement with orange juice is a good idea because the vitamin C in the OJ assists with the absorption of iron. Calcium is essential for the growth and development of the baby’s bones, particularly in the second trimester. Good sources of calcium include milk, cheese, yoghurt, almonds, soft bones in tinned tuna and salmon and leafy green vegetables.

[ { "question": "Does NOVA Solar offer financing?", "answer": "Yes, we provide financing in order to help our customers make their energy goals a reality, and keep their costs as low as possible. Net metering is a stipulation that requires utility companies to give you credit for any excess electricity your system produces. For example, a home that consumes 50 kWhs of grid electricity during the night, and produces an excess of 50 kWhs of solar electricity during the day would register as having used no grid electricity at all. When properly installed, a PV system will last 25-35 years. During that time, most systems require little to no maintenance beyond removing leaves and debris. A typical solar power system in Virginia will offset 122 tons of carbon dioxide over its lifetime, and produce enough electricity to eliminate the need to burn 221 tons of coal." }, { "question": "Will solar panels be allowed by my HOA?", "answer": "According to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, homeowners’ associations are not allowed to prohibit the installation of solar panels." }, { "question": "How do I request a free quote?", "answer": "You can fill out this form on our website, and one of our solar panel experts will call you to schedule an appointment.

If your custom order is for a gift, make sure to allow extra time if purchased during the holiday seasons. To send us your correct wrist size, use a flexible tape measure (photo 1) and place it around your wrist (snug but not too tight) over your wristbone. If you don't have a flexible tape, use a piece of string and wrap around your wrist (photo 2) and mark it and measure with a standard ruler (photo 3). Send us that measurement and we will allow the necessary extra for proper fit. The easiest way to measure your belt size is to take a current belt, lay it flat and measure from point to point as in the below image. If you don't have a current belt, thank the lord that you are visiting HawkLeather to get yourself one. Let's say you just don't have one handy, then take a tape measure and measure your WAIST or your HIPS (it all depends on where you will wear your new belt--so this is totally up to you!!!!). Measure snugly and preferably over the type pants you will normally wear. Send us that measurement and that will be the measurement to the center hole as shown in the image. There will be extra holes on either side of this hole for those \"light and heavy\" days. Take a current strap and lay it out flat. There is a hole in each end that attaches to buttons on the guitar. Measure the distance from hole to hole and that will be the center hole on your new strap.

Proper care of your leather product will give you many, many years of wear. Leather will darken with age due to contact with natural oils in your skin and prolonged exposure to sunlight. Avoid wearing your leather wristband in the shower. If you do forget, however, do not take it off until it is dry. The pulling will cause weakness on the leather surrounding the snap and may weaken or tear the leather. Avoid wearing your leather wristband while swimming. Chlorination in swimming pool water will affect the finish and the dye of the wristband. Regular cleaning of your leather product isn’t really necessary. A finish has been applied to protect the colors and the leather and will last for years and years.

The storage containers that we supply are steel shipping containers manufactured to a very high specification out of high tensile steel, making them not only strong and very secure but capable of surviving in extreme conditions. These design qualities ensure that our steel containers are ideal to use for storage." }, { "question": "How heavy are the storage containers?", "answer": "Standard ISO freight containers are designed to withstand the rigours of marine transportation and are constructed with a high tensile steel rigid framework, with corrugated steel walls and doors. Internal floors are treated timber, 27mm thick, mounted on steel cross members. Double doors are fitted to one end of the storage container, retained by 4 full height locking bars all fitted with lockable handles. Storage containers are very secure and virtually vandal proof. As standard our hire fleet and new build containers are fitted with a steel ‘Lock Box’ to the doors. Our ‘Lock Box’ is designed to accept our high security container padlock, and protect the lock from being tampered with. The padlocks we supply fit into our lock boxes with ease." }, { "question": "Can you put a storage container anywhere?", "answer": "We use ‘Hi-ab’ lorries fitted with their own crane to deliver the storage containers. Our drivers require a hard-core ground to the delivery site and the crane sets down the storage container from the side of the vehicle. Therefore we need approximately 20’ width to facilitate the offloading and there must be no overhead cables or overhanging trees in the way. The delivery truck will be a minimum of 36’ long by 8’6” wide plus wing mirrors. With the storage container on the vehicle the height will be approximately 15’ and when the crane is extended to its full height this will be approximately 25’. If you are not sure about your site then simply send us a drawing with the dimensions and we will check that delivery is possible. We can get a storage container almost anywhere within reason. All our storage containers have specially designed corner castings for lifting and positioning, and the majority of 8ft, 10ft and 20ft containers have forklift truck pockets." }, { "question": "Do I need planning permission for a storage container?", "answer": "Storage containers are non-permanent so in most cases not. However, it is worth checking if the storage container is going to be on a residential area, near a road junction, or likely to cause complaints from neighbours. We recommend that you check with your local planning authorities." }, { "question": "Can storage containers be selected so we know exactly what we are buying?", "answer": "Yes, storage containers can be inspected and selected prior to purchase. We ask for 24-48 hours notice in order to make the arrangements. Yes, the price will be subject to the market value at the time and transport costs to collect the storage containers. Providing that we know in advance that a buy option may be required this can be arranged. Storage containers should be placed on level ground to avoid any difficulty in opening and shutting the container doors. Our drivers can help with the positioning, however it is the buyers responsibility to ensure that the ground is adequately prepared and that you have the materials to make the storage container sit level. Examples of these are railway sleepers underneath the storage container or a concrete paving block under each corner. Yes, storage containers are available in various colours and we can externally repaint containers matched to BS and RAL colour codes. You can pay for a storage container by a variety of methods including cash, company cheque, credit card, debit card or BACS. When hiring a storage container the first payment required for new customers is the first four weeks container rental and the delivery and collection charges. These must be received prior to release of the container(s). Thereafter, you will be invoiced on a monthly basis." }, { "question": "Do the storage containers have a problem with condensation?", "answer": "As with any enclosed space condensation can be an issue. To combat this the majority of our containers are fitted with vents. However, if you are using the storage container to store sensitive goods we recommend that you hire one of our newer containers or look into the optional extra of providing insulation to the walls and ceiling of the container. It is also a good idea not to lean or stack sensitive goods directly against the walls of the storage container. Once an order has been placed, you will be assigned a dedicated account manager, who will contact you to confirm the order and arrange delivery." }, { "question": "What maintenance do I need to carry out?", "answer": "Steel storage containers are very robust and require little or no maintenance but it is a good idea to ensure the doors are kept in good working order. Therefore, we recommend that you grease the door hinges and locking bars at regular intervals." } ]

A durable power of attorney is a useful document that gives your agent the power to help manage someone's legal and financial affairs during their lifetimes.

[ { "question": "FAQ: How can I avoid overflowing the gas tank?", "answer": "The gas fill design on modern Vespas is notorious for overflowing when filling up. This usually results in gasoline getting into the underseat bucket, all over the paint, the exhaust, and (worse) you. The solution is to hold the nozzle so that it is directly over the underseat bucket, aiming toward the back of the bike. Be sure to put the nozzle as far in as it will go, and fill slowly until the gas clicks off. Do Not attempt to top off the tank. As a safety measure, you can remove the bucket from the bike before filling up. This ensures that even if gas overflows, it won't soak everything in the bucket. For your MP3 riders, the technique is slightly different. Pull back the recovery hose (if your state has them), position the nozzle at a 90 degree angle to the bike, push the nozzle as far into the tank as it will go, let loose of the recovery hose and pump slowly until the gas clicks off. Note that this solution isn't 100% guaranteed to prevent overflows, but it will greatly reduce them. There additional measures one can take to ensure that gas will not spill into the underseat bucket on models where the bucket is removable. The oldest and most obvious solution is to take the bucket out and place it sideways across the opening while fueling up. Other solution is the Q-Maneuver, which can be done simply by propping up the back end of the underseat bucket with the gas cap, as pictured." } ]

The Form DS-2019 is a certificate of eligibility of J-1 status. It is issued by the International Center through the Department of Homeland Security's SEVIS system. The DS-2019 allows a person to request a J-1 visa to enter the U.S. The DS-2019 also determines the length of a J-1's legal stay in the U.S. Hosting Unit Responsibilities explains U-M department responsibilities when hosting J-1 Exchange Visitors, and general information about the DS-2019 and J-1 status is on our J-1 Visitor page. The department at University of Michigan wishing to host the person begins the DS-2019 request process by preparing and submitting an e-Form to the Shared Services Center (SSC) or, for the Medical School, by contacting the Medical School Immigration Compliance Unit (MS-ICU). The SCC (or the MS-ICU), evaluates English proficiency, collects documents from the prospective Exchange Visitor and enters information into M-Pathways. They then transfer the request to the International Center for review and approval. Once an International Center advisor has approved the request, the request for the visitor’s Form DS-2019 is submitted to the U.S. government's SEVIS system (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) so that Form DS-2019 can be issued. Form DS-2019 is either mailed directly to the Exchange Visitor, or is provided to the department for mailing, depending on the hosting department’s instructions. A $180 SEVIS I-901 fee must be paid and then the scholar should go to an appointment at the U.S. consulate for the J-1 visa. The Exchange Visitor applies for J-1 visa (a visa application fee is also required) at the consulate. When the visa is approved the Exchange Visitor can enter the U.S. with the DS-2019 and J-1 visa up to one month before the start date of the DS-2019. When the Exchange Visitor has arrived in the U.S., he/she must attend J-1 check-in program at the International Center and will be automatically enrolled in the mandatory health insurance program (for the J-1 and any J-2 dependents). For more information about the J-1 Exchange Visitor process, visit Hosting a J-1 Exchange Visitor. Under specific circumstances, J-1 and J-2 status holders may incur a two-year home physical presence requirement. If one is subject to the rule, this means that he/she is not eligible to change to H, L or Permanent Residency (PR) classification without first returning to the home country for a total of 2 years. A waiver of this requirement can be applied for and obtained in specific circumstances. If the two year rule applies, changing status from J to another non-immigrant classification (such as F-1) in the United States is prohibited. The two year rule does NOT prohibit one from returning to the U.S. in any classification besides H, L, or PR. All J-1 exchange visitors and accompanying J-2 dependents at the University of Michigan are required to have health insurance coverage that meets the University's standards at all times. The exchange visitor and any J-2 dependents will be automatically enrolled in our Aetna Student Health insurance program after they attend the mandatory immigration check-in program. The insurance plan coverage will be effective on the exchange visitor’s program start date (Form DS-2019, Item3). If the scholar will receive health insurance coverage through University Benefits, the Aetna Student Health insurance can be cancelled once the scholar enrolls in Benefits and the Benefits have begun. If the scholar holds insurance from their home country, he/she will have the opportunity to apply for a waiver of the mandatory health insurance at a later time. In order for a waiver to be granted, the health insurance coverage must be proven to meet specific mandatory standards." }, { "question": "Do we need to do anything if the scholar will be delayed in arrival?", "answer": "The check-in requirement is linked to the start date of the SEVIS DS-2019. We must report the arrival of the J-1 in SEVIS within the first 30 days after the document begins. If an exchange visitor is delayed and will enter the U.S. more than fifteen days after the DS-2019 start date you should request an “amendment” of the DS-2019 so that the start date is changed to a later date. After completing the online Pre-Arrival and Post-Arrival trainings, a newly arrived scholar may call the International Center to schedule attendace at the Physical Presence Check-In." }, { "question": "What is the time period that a J-1 exchange visitor scholar may enter and leave the U.S.?", "answer": "The scholar may enter the U.S. to begin J-1 status no more than thirty days before the start date of the DS-2019. J-1 exchange visitors are usually granted admission for “duration of status” which is noted as D/S on the admission stamp in the passport and on the Form I-94 printed from https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home. With duration of status granted, a J-1 has a thirty day grace period to depart the U.S. after the expiration of the DS-2019. J-2 dependents must depart before or with the J-1. The University of Michigan is committed to assisting our international students and scholars when possible, through our Visa Assistance Program. If your exchange visitor contacts you to notify you that he/she has experienced a visa delay or denial, please ask him/her to fill out the on-line Visa Assistance Web Form. The information gathered in this form will be sent to a U-M email group. The members of this group will take all possible steps to assist the scholar with U-M related matters including employment. The U-M can also assist with suggestions and recommendations about best practices regarding visa requests and will advise on next steps." }, { "question": "Do you have any information on housing, schools, transportation, etc, which may aid the J-1 scholar and his/her family members?", "answer": "Yes, we do have many resources on life in Ann Arbor to help ease the transition. Please refer to detailed information on our website about travel and visa application for further details. The U.S. visa (stamp or sticker in your passport) is a travel document which allows entry to the United States with a valid DS-2019. The scholar only needs to have a valid J visa when re-entering the U.S.; the scholar may remain in the U.S. with the valid DS-2019. If the scholar plans to travel and re-enter the U.S. from abroad after the visa has expired, the scholar needs to apply for a new visa before he/she re-enters U.S. The scholar can only apply for the visa outside the country at a U.S. Consulate." }, { "question": "How can a J-1 scholar have a family member/friend/colleague visit the U.S.?", "answer": "The spouse and children under 21 of the J-1 exchange visitor are eligible for J-2 dependent status. You or the scholar may request DS-2019 from International Center for J-2 dependents during the program. Family members or friends who are NOT children under 21 or the spouse of the J-1 exchange visitor should apply for a B-1/B-2 visitor visa which allows eligibility to visit the United States temporarily for tourism or business purposes. Family members from certain countries may be eligible to travel to the U.S. for visits of up to 90 days without a B-1/B-2 visa through the U.S. Department of State Visa Waiver Program. It is recommended that the scholar give his/her family members a letter of invitation to document the purpose of their visit. Refer to Family Visitors to the U.S. for an invitation letter template and more details on the visa application requirements. In addition to employment at the University of Michigan related to the J-1 objective, J-1 scholars and professors may be eligible to be authorized for incidental employment directly related to the J-1 objective, such as providing occasional lectures or consulting. Incidental employment should be approved by the U-M International Center prior to the activity. For more information, refer to Incidental Employment for J-1 Scholars and Professors. The exchange visitor may be eligible for an “extension” of Form DS-2019 if he/she has not reached the maximum duration of the J category (see section 4 of the DS-2019) and has not applied for and received a waiver of the Two-Year Foreign Residency Requirement. You, the sponsoring department, would submit an e-form for an extension request to the Shared Services Center or, for Medical School units, to the Medical School Immigration Compliance Unit (MS-ICU). Extension requests should be submitted well in advance of the DS-2019 expiration. For more information on program duration and extension you may contact [email protected]. The maximum length of program for Short-term Scholars is six months, for Specialists one year, and for Professors and Research Scholars, five years. If the scholar will return home and is ending participation more than 15 days before the end date of the current DS-2019, the end of the program should be reported to International Center by submitting our Departure Form. If the scholar is leaving within 15 days of the end date of the DS-2019, no action is required. U-M International Center staff members are not authorized to give advice regarding taxes. We do have some helpful information about taxes, tax preparation, ITIN, or tax treaty questions at Taxes and Social Security. The Internal Revenue Service is the U.S. department in charge of taxes. Tax forms and information can be found on the IRS website. GLACIER Tax Prep tax preparation software is available free of charge to any international scholar with a UM/Ann Arbor uniqname and password. Assistance is available via GLACIER Tax Prep online help (click on the Help link at the top of any Glacier Tax Prep screen). You will then be able to send a question to the Glacier Tax Prep Support Center. The Support Center will send a response to the email address in your Glacier Tax Prep record. Information and assistance with tax withholding forms for international students, faculty and staff is available from the U-M Payroll Office. Their website includes information on determining tax status (“nonresident or resident alien” for U.S. tax purposes) and on tax treaties, as well as some basic information on the taxation of foreign nationals. The Department of Homeland Security requires a fee of $180 for all new J-1 program applicants to cover the costs of the operation of the SEVIS program. If a future scholar is issued a new DS-2019 for beginning a new program he/she must pay I-901 SEVIS fee. Transfer, extension, or other updates to the original DS-2019 do not require SEVIS fee. You can read more information on our website at What to Expect When Traveling and go to the official website for SEVIS fee information and payment. Some departments choose to pay this fee on behalf of the exchange visitor but it is optional. If you do want to pay the fee, you will need the exchange visitor’s SEVIS ID number, name, and date of birth. This information must match the information printed on the exchange visitor’s Form DS-2019. After the SEVIS fee payment is made, a receipt should be printed. The scholar should bring it to the visa interview and when traveling to the U.S. The U-M International Center is authorized to issue a Form DS-2019 to foreign medical graduates (M.D.s) to enable them to come to the U.S. for the primary activity of observation, consultation, teaching, or research. They can participate in a non-clinical exchange program, either with NO PATIENT CONTACT OR CARE, or where patient contact is only INCIDENTAL to the primary activity. M.D.s with direct patient contact must be sponsored by ECFMG. Doing a diagnostic examination in the presence of a senior physician who repeats the exam or ensures at every step that it is done correctly and the proper diagnostic information is obtained. Being present during therapies and treatment with opportunities for hands-on experience in ways that do not compromise the care of the patient. Being present in the operating room and having limited patient contact, but not performing procedures. You may email questions to [email protected] for response by one of our International Student/Scholar Advisors. You also can call our Front Desk (734.764.9310, press 0 for the Receptionist) to ask questions via telephone. If no advisor is currently available, your phone call will be returned as soon as possible." } ]

[ { "question": "What should I believe?", "answer": "A: It is often difficult to locate primary sources for determining how vintage pens were originally made and marketed. At the same time, few collectors take the time to study old catalogs and advertisements for themselves, and fewer still have handled enough pens to be able to fill in the many gaps in the documentary record. As a result, a large body of pen lore has arisen, most of which derives its authority simply by having been repeated over and over without ever being checked or questioned. This situation was confusing enough when the main reference sources were books, most of which largely repeated the same old material; with the rise of the Internet, the rate of confusion has accelerated sharply, as new collectors turn first to online forums dominated by collectors only a little more experienced than they." }, { "question": "So how do we know any better?", "answer": "Formal training in historical research helps: it breeds a healthy skepticism about hearsay, and a drive to trace facts back to their sources. We've spent countless hours poring over original records relating to pens and penmaking. Interpretative skills and book learning would count for little, though, without the experience of handling literally tens of thousands of pens over a period of years -- and, crucially, pens fresh to the market, straight out of estates and old accumulations. Such experience is now becoming increasingly difficult to come by, as the number of fresh finds diminishes and the number of \"improved\" pieces in circulation grows." } ]

[ { "question": "How can I help get the Holy Bible to people who need it most?", "answer": "Works on the World English Bible to provide an excellent quality whole Bible free of copyright restrictions. Processes Bible translations from many Bible translators and Bible translation agencies to put them in useful formats for free distribution and online reading. Writes and maintains software to help do the above processing accurately and consistently. Maintains high capacity web servers to support digital Bible distribution. Creates and maintains Bible distribution web sites for many people groups. Investigates and (where appropriate) takes action on typo reports, etc., to ensure quality of Bibles distributed. Processes Scriptures for inclusion in the Every Tribe Every Nation Digital Bible Library, which makes Bibles available to other electronic publishers, including YouVersion. Those groups are those who are underserved by traditional Bible publishing as there is no profit motive to help them. Beyond those groups, anyone else who has access to the Holy Bible because of our efforts is, of course, welcome to read it and believe in Jesus Christ. Michael gets permission and source files from various Bible translators and Bible translation agencies. If you have rights to a Bible translation that you would like to make available, please contact him. One. The World English Bible is only in English. It does have two dialects, though: the American spelling version and the British/International spelling version. If what you really wanted to know was how many languages I publish the Holy Bible (or whatever portion of it has been translated and made available to us), please see eBible.org/metrics. For the latest numbers, please see eBible.org/metrics. Sword — for study in apps like Xiphos, AndBible, PocketSword, Eloquent, etc. Microsoft Word 2003 XML — for printing, reading on screen, or copy and paste into Bible studies, etc. In addition, Michael publishes several different formats useful for developers of Bible study apps: USFM, USFX, verse per line plain text, and SQL. If you don’t know what those are, ignore them and use one of the above formats. If you take what we actually spent on this in 2016, and divide it by our best estimate of the total number of Scripture deliveries (Scripture downloads and chapter views) for the same year, the result is about three quarters of a penny. Specifically, $97,371.26/13,104,796 views+downloads = $0.00743. In addition, there is the cost of doing the Bible translation work, which so far has been borne by others, but it will become necessary to contribute to that cost for some translations in the form of royalty payments as we expand our language and Bible translation selection on offer. This will require additional funds from our partners to keep the Scriptures free for the end users. The largest cost, of course, is one we cannot afford: the cost to God the Father for the Good News we proclaim, which was the blood of His Only Son, Jesus Christ. Obviously, the message we freely give is not really free, but it can still be free to those we give it to. Our partners do. May God bless all of our partners! Our wonderful partners pray for our ministry regularly and support us financially as the Lord leads. To become one of our partners, please sign up for our email prayer letters (see the form to the right or contact us with your request) so you will get notices of how best to pray for us approximately monthly. We appreciate all donations, large and small. We especially appreciate regular monthly donations, since most of our costs come with regular monthly bills. For details on giving options, please see our partnership page. Yes. Not everyone in the very remote regions of the earth have Internet access and devices to display Bibles, but the percentage that do is constantly growing. I have seen people in villages where there is no commercial electrical power using smart phones and tablet computers which they charge with solar power or by hauling them into town to charge there. Internet access via growing mobile phone networks continues to grow. It may not be as cheap, reliable, or accessible as almost everyone reading this is used to, but it is there. In addition, there are people who move from remote tribal areas to larger towns where they have access to digital Bibles. These people appreciate having access to the Holy Bible in their own language." }, { "question": "How does censorship and persecution affect digital Bible distribution?", "answer": "If the persecution is just disapproval by neighbors, that has little or no effect. If the censorship extends to governments and ISPs, then it can indeed result in increasing the difficulty of accessing the Holy Bible in some ways. Any books with “Digital Rights Management” (copy protection) and enforced ties to the Internet are easy to censor, but simply not including these “features” in most Bible files we distribute makes them easy to copy and share and hard to censor. The main challenge in countries where the Holy Bible might be improperly censored is in letting people discover where to look. Passing media from person to person is one way that still works. Use of mobile hotspots that serve Bible files from local storage rather than accessing the wider Internet is another strategy that works. There are other ways, too, which I need not list, here. In other words, such persecution of Christians and the Holy Bible can’t totally succeed. It started with a conversation with God. See http://ebible.org/webhistory.htm and http://ebible.org/web/webfaq.htm. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commands us to make disciples of all “nations” (ἔθνη), referring to tribes and ethnic groups. Making disciples and teaching all Jesus taught is greatly facilitated when there is a Bible, or at least a New Testament, in the languages these people understand the best. Plenty of people and ministries work with the largest language groups in the world, but God has called Michael to focus on the smaller language groups. Most of the speakers of minority languages we distribute Bible translations for don’t have any reasonable way to pay for digital books. They normally don’t have credit cards, and many don’t have bank accounts. However, they may have a smart phone with intermittent Internet access. In some places where Christians are persecuted by the government, the act of paying for a digital Bible is often not possible and/or dangerous. Some of the copyrighted Bible translations we distribute are given to us to with permission to distribute only on the condition that we do not do so commercially, i.e. for a profit. Even among people who could pay for a digital Bible, a higher price than “free” tends to reduce distribution, and therefore the number of people who would actually read it. This is basic economics (the law of supply and demand). Those who don’t yet know the great value of the Holy Bible are more likely to learn of its value with a free copy, then believe in Jesus. After that, they may well (and probably should) buy nice printed editions and/or premium digital editions that they would never have considered buying before. Encumbering digital Bible distribution with point of sale controls, money handling, digital rights management (copy protection), and accounting greatly increases the cost of digital Bible distribution and greatly reduces the amount of distribution. It almost totally destroys secondary distribution and sharing. Of course, it also precludes distribution to most of our primary audience. The actual cost of sharing digital Bible translations is so small per copy that it is totally practical for those costs to be borne by like-minded donors who value sharing God’s Word freely with people who need it most. Yes. Seriously, there is no lack of work to do, and it is very rewarding work. Pray. Every believer in Jesus Christ can pray. Ask God how you should be involved. And please pray for us and our ministry while you are at it. Give. We provide access to the Holy Bible for free, but it costs money to do so. We can do this because faithful partners who share the same vision keep donating enough money to keep this ministry operating and even expanding. Go. Ask the Lord if you should be active in mission work in some way. Investigate opportunities at your church, in mission organizations, and in Bible translation agencies." } ]

All you need to do is to select your input files, the reference genome and the pipeline that you want to run the project with. Then you can sit back and relax while NovoWORX does your job for you." }, { "question": "How easy is it to use NovoWORX?", "answer": "Very! All you need is your sequence files or input files and leave the rest to NovoWORX. [If we do not have the reference genome that you require, you can also add in your own!" }, { "question": "What kind of files can I use with NovoWORX?", "answer": "We currently support FASTA, FASTQ, COLOURSPACE, BAM, VCF and many other types of files. And our list is expanding everyday." }, { "question": "Can I view the results in NovoWORX?", "answer": "Absolutely! All outputs from our pipelines will be viewable in NovoWORX and they will be presented in tables, images, charts, pdf and you can even browse the results on our genome browser. You will also be able to filter out results and download them as necessary." }, { "question": "Do you have this <reference> genome in your library?", "answer": "We can provide you with the reference genomes that you need. You can also opt to use the functionality that is included in NovoWORX to add any reference genome files yourself." }, { "question": "What kind of pipelines are included in NovoWORX?", "answer": "We currently have Whole Genome Analysis, Exome Analysis, RNA Analysis, MiRNA Analysis, Methylation Analysis, and Basic NGS Alignment." }, { "question": "Can I run multiple projects / pipelines simultaneously in NovoWORX?", "answer": "Absolutely! Your projects will be submitted to the queue and will be run as soon as there is a slot available. Do note that the response time will be depending on your computer / server’s hardware." }, { "question": "Do I need to keep a constant vigilance on the status of my project?", "answer": "There is absolutely no need to keep checking back with the workbench for the status of your project. You can opt to receive emails on the status of your project and NovoWORX will automatically send you status updates once it has completed its run." }, { "question": "Where can I get a copy of NovoWORX?", "answer": "Contact us at [email protected] and we will get you set up as soon as we can! Novoalign is a short-read mapper designed to be fast and sensitive on small to large genome databases. It’s primary design is based on the use of read quality information and the need to assemble genomes from resequencing experiments. Novoalign supports fragment, paired-end and mate-pair reads from major sequencing platforms such as Illumina, SOLiD and Roche 454. NovoalignCS is the version of Novoalign developed for SOLiD colourspace reads. All reference genome databases to which short reads are mapped need to be formatted in a special way e.g. formatdb sequences before using NCBI BLAST. Novoindex has been designed for this purpose to preformat the DNA database. A masked human genome can be indexed in 3-5 minutes on a single CPU server with at least 8Gb or RAM for an Illumina/SOLiD colorspace index." }, { "question": "Can I map reads that align to multiple locations on the genome?", "answer": "Yes, most definitely with the “-r” parameter. You have several options for reads with multiple alignments including reporting all, none, or a randomly chosen one. See the documentation for more information." }, { "question": "Does novoalign support both Illumina Genome Analyzer platforms?", "answer": "Yes, novoalign supports reads for all Genome Analyzer platforms, including the HISeq model. Novoalign can handle Illumina mate-pairs, single-end fragments and paired-end reads." }, { "question": "What alignment formats are supported by Novoalign?", "answer": "Novoalign reports results in a single-line tab-delimited format for easy parsing and sorting of large numbers of alignments. Novoalign also supports the widely used SAM format specification for sequence alignments. Use the “-o SAM” option to your command line for SAM output. Note that there is also a command line utility script called novo2sam.pl that converts native novoalign format to SAM format. A pairwise alignment format is also supported." }, { "question": "Can I map RNASeq transcriptome reads/tags using novoalign?", "answer": "Yes. Transcriptome reads may be used with a genome or transcriptome database. Note that in cases where reads map to multiple locations the “-r All” option should be used to report all alignment locations. I have Illumina sequencing data from microRNA experiments and there is a conserved adaptor sequence at the three-prime terminal end of the read." }, { "question": "Do I need to remove these before using novoalign?", "answer": "The current version of novoalign can strip these adaptors off for you. You can use the “-a” option to specificy the adaptor sequence." }, { "question": "What extra features are available in Novoalign?", "answer": "Set the “-m” option for miRNA alignment mode to look for potentially new microRNAs when mapping reads to a reference genome. Novoalign is also capable of mapping bisulfite-sequencing (BS-Seq) reads from bisulfite conversion protocols." }, { "question": "Does Novoalign support Sanger and Illumina FASTQ?", "answer": "Yes. Sanger and Illumina FASTQ formats are both supported. The quality values are converted to phred values using the Sanger method and used in subsequent alignment routines." }, { "question": "Can I use novoalign for methylation experiments?", "answer": "Methylation alignment is on our roadmap at the time of writing this document. It should be available soon. In mean time you could do it by preprocess of the genome sequence to convert C to Ts. The Maq (maq.sourceforge.net) program uses a mapping quality score and quality values for read alignments." }, { "question": "How does the Novoalign scoring system compare to this?", "answer": "Novoalign calculates a mapping quality score that takes similar factors into account as Maq does. However, the alignment quality may vary from maq." }, { "question": "How does novoalign compare to Eland in terms of performance and finding alignment locations?", "answer": "Novoalign should find all the same unambiguous mapping locations for short reads as compared to Eland. However, as it uses base qualities and can align with gaps it usually finds more alignments." }, { "question": "Can I assemble my genome with Novoalign?", "answer": "No, only short read alignment is supported at this time. The assembly component is currently in development. Alignment process is non-heuristic and will find the optimum alignment or no alignment if an alignment with a score less than the threshold cannot be found." }, { "question": "Which genomes can I use Novoalign for?", "answer": "There is absolutely no restriction on what genome you may want to map your short reads with Novoalign. It’s best to use a genome from which your sample originated or at least a closely related genome i.e greater than 90% sequence similarity." }, { "question": "Does novoalign map reads to genomes with more than 4 IUPAC codes?", "answer": "Yes, certain genomes contain ambiguous IUPAC codes and novoalign has been designed with this in mind." }, { "question": "How does novoalign handle lowercase masking?", "answer": "The indexing process can optionally ignore lowercase nucleotides in the reference genome/nucleotide database. This means the lower case letters cannot be used to initiate an alignment however the Needleman-Wunsch alignment process can extend into lower case sequence as long as an alignment was initiated in indexed upper case sequence." }, { "question": "Can I use Novoalign for ABI SOLiD and 454 reads?", "answer": "NovoalignCS is the version of Novoalign specifically written to deal with SOLiD colorspace reads. Novoalign can be used with 454 paired-end reads." }, { "question": "What are the advantages of using these programs over other tools?", "answer": "The short answer is yes. The alignment threshold can be increased to allow for finding more mismatches and/or gaps. Novoalign reports the locations of mismatches and gaps in the alignments. When using SAM format mismatches, indels and other edit operations e.g. soft-clipping, are presently coded into the CIGAR string." }, { "question": "Can I identify alignments with gaps or mismatches using Novoalign?", "answer": "Use of base qualities and gaps in single ended and paired end reads. Full Needleman Wunsch dynamic programming alignment of short reads. Novoalign may also used when your expecting low identity (95% or less) with small genomes as it can align with up to 8 mismatches to high quality bases. It’s also one of the fastest gapped aligners available when run with threshold set for two or more mismatches." }, { "question": "Do I need an expensive high-end server to run Novoalign?", "answer": "Firstly you need an AMD/Intel X86-64 CPU with 64bit Linux or Mac OS X, most modern Intel/AMD servers or workstations should be usable. The memory requirements depend on the size of the genome you are aligning to. For Human NCBI 36, the index can be built in 7GByte of RAM so 8GB RAM will be sufficient. Colourspace indexes are approximately the same size. Smaller genomes require proportionally less memory. One PC or Server should be able to align reads faster than the GA can produce them." }, { "question": "Do I need to have any proprietary software installed on my computer/server before using Novoalign?", "answer": "Only standard C and C++ libraries are required for Novoalign to work. There are no expensive database/library requirements. The applications are not open source in that the source code is not available for download. However, anybody may download and use these programs free of charge for their research and any other non-profit activities as long as results are published in peer-reviewed journals or some other medium. Other users may download & evaluate the software using license key before purchase. Linux 2.6 64-bit on X86-64 CPUs and Mac OS X operating systems are supported at this time. You may contact “support at novocraft dot com” for more information. Priority is given to holders of support contracts. You could also try posting a question on our support forum. Can I use Novoalign with named pipes e.g." }, { "question": "Is it possible to use Novoalign output with the Picard and GATK programs?", "answer": "Yes. Novoalign follows the full SAM format specification and it has been tested with Picard and the Genome analysis toolki t (GATK). See the Novoalign documentation guide for converting novoalign SAM output to BAM format. Novoalign has options for creating SAM readgroup names required by Picard." }, { "question": "What is the difference between Novoalign and NovoalignCS?", "answer": "NovoalignCS maps SOLiD colourspace reads to a reference genome while Novoalign does nucleotide space. We collectively refer to both tools as Novoalign in cases where this differentiation is not required. The command line options for both programs are the same with specific parameters for each tool." }, { "question": "How does Novoalign compare to programs like BWA, Bowtie, ELAND and BFAST?", "answer": "Novoalign was designed to be an accurate short read aligner that combines fast K-mer index searching with dynamic programming. In terms of speed Novoalign will be slower than Burrows-Wheeler transform aligners e.g. BWA, Bowtie and in some cases faster than BFAST. In terms of accuracy Novoalign is in most cases more sensitive than these tools because it uses full dynamic programming to find the best alignment of a short read to a genome sequence." }, { "question": "Does Novoalign support SAM/BAM format?", "answer": "Yes. Use the “-o SAM” option or convert native Novoalign output to SAM format using novo2sam.pl." }, { "question": "How could changing my current aligner to Novoalign impact SNP/Indel calling?", "answer": "The choice of aligner is an important one when considering SNP/Indel calling pipelines. The most sensitive and specific aligner will produce the most reliable sequence pileup for SNP calling against a reference genome. Novoalign has been shown to display high sensitivity according to other independent studies. See Homer and Li, 2010 and Krawitz et al., 2010 ." }, { "question": "What is the polyclonal filter used in Novoalign?", "answer": "NovoalignCS and Novoalign have a built-in polyclonal filter based on the method published by Sasson and Michael (2010). The polyclonal filter removes short reads based on the number of high phred-quality bases above T within the first N bases of a read. T and N can be set using Novoalign’s “-p” option." }, { "question": "What does a full, paid-for version of Novoalign/NovoalignCS entitle me to?", "answer": "The full version of Novoalign/NovoalignCS enables a multitude of features such as multithreading, adaptor trimming, bisulfite alignment,etc. Dedicated support is also covered for the term of the annual license. Depending on your level of subscription, Novoalign can be used by an unlimited number of users/computers within a site e.g. a laboratory license allows multiple users in that lab to use the software on as many computers within that lab." }, { "question": "What is the best way to use Novoalign on a computing cluster?", "answer": "Novoalign and NovoalignCS both have a message passing interface (MPI) counterpart. These programs are called NovoalignMPI and NovoalignCSMPI. The MPI versions of Novoalign are more beneficial to organizations with large computing infrastructures e.g. genome sequencing centers and pharmaceutical companies." }, { "question": "Is Novoalign able to read compressed gzpped read files?", "answer": "Yes. Novoalign is able to read gzip-compressed short read files. Note that input files must have a “.gz” extension." }, { "question": "When aligning SOLiD colourspace reads with NovoalignCS, do I need to convert the colourspace FASTA (CSFASTA) to colourspace FASTQ (CSFASTQ) format first?", "answer": "No. NovoalignCS supports direct alignment of CSFASTA and their associated quality files in fragment and mate-pair mode. Files are automatically recognized by their file extensions e.g. .csfasta _QV.qual. These files may be gzipped and mapped with NovoalignCS." }, { "question": "Can I use Novoalign on reads with variable lengths?", "answer": "Yes. Reads not meeting the minimum read length requirement will be filtered and flagged as QC. Otherwise Novoalign is capable of mapping variable length reads." }, { "question": "Can I use Novoalign on a cloud computing system?", "answer": "Yes, Novoalign is available on the cloudbiolinux 64-bit image accessible from Amazon Web Services (AWS)." }, { "question": "What is the difference between hairpin score, alignment score and alignment/mapping quality reported by Novoalign?", "answer": "Alignment score is the log probability that the mapped sequence is the same as fragment read by the sequencer. Alignment/Mapping quality is the log probability that this is the correct alignment location given that the DNA fragment came from the reference genome. It is a Bayesian posterior probability that is calculated from all the alignments found for the read. Therefore lower scores are always better as score is -10log(P) where P is probability of the alignment. P=1.0 gives a score of zero. Hairpin scoring is similar to alignment score but for nearby reverse complement of the read. Lower scores might help locate the source of the miRNA. Any mismatches will score around 30 depending on base quality. If there was a perfect complementary match the hairpin score should be zero." }, { "question": "What is the meaning of the step size (-s param) in novoindex and how does it affect the index creation?", "answer": "When indexing genomes we create an index that lists all the k-mers and where they exist in the reference genome. If the step size is one then every k-mer is indexed, with step size 2 only every second k-mer is indexed, and so on. This reduces the size of the index considerably, especially for large genomes. Novoalign automatically adjusts for any drop in sensitivity that might result from using a sparse index." } ]

[ { "question": "FAQ Can I return my bottle and get a refund if I don't need it anymore?", "answer": "When you purchase or swap at SWAP'n'GO you own the bottle. Unfortunately, there is no basis for issuing a refund. You might consider giving your bottle to family or friends. Local clubs that do sausage sizzle fund raising would also appreciate the donation. You can also dispose of them at a local council recycling centre or you can leave the bottle at your nearest NZ SWAP'n'GO depot." }, { "question": "What if I don't have a gas bottle to swap?", "answer": "No problem. You can purchase a full SWAP’n’GO gas bottle without a trade-in." }, { "question": "Do I own the gas bottle I receive?", "answer": "Yes, when you purchase or swap a gas bottle from us, you own the SWAP’n’GO gas bottle you receive. Also, you are free to choose swap or refill when it is empty. There are SWAP'n'GO® retailers around the country so you never have to go very far to find a fresh full LPG bottle." }, { "question": "How can I tell if the gas bottle I will receive is full?", "answer": "Every SWAP’n’GO gas bottle is precision filled to 9kg and leak tested by Elgas technicians. Look for the yellow seal on the neck of the gas bottle which indicates that it has been quality checked and filled to safe industry standards by Elgas SWAP’n’GO." }, { "question": "How much does a 9kg gas bottle weigh when full or empty?", "answer": "The full weight of gas bottles can vary based on the weight of the empty bottle. The weight of the empty bottle, or tare weight, is stamped on the neck ring of the bottle. To calculate the full weight, you add 9kg to the empty (tare) weight of the bottle and the total is the full weight." }, { "question": "Does SWAP'n'GO accept out of date bottles?", "answer": "Yes! We accept out of date bottles at no extra charge. Carefully pour a cup of hot water down the side of the bottle and a line of condensation should appear at the level of the remaining gas. If no line is apparent, you can also wait a few seconds and run your hand down the cylinder. It will feel cool to the touch at the level of the gas. If you see no line and feel no difference in temperature, chances are the bottle is empty. Remember to always use care with the hot water. For safety reasons, NEVER open the valve on an unattached gas bottle to check for remaining gas, even if you think it is empty. Also, please remember that gas bottles are designed to be full at 80% or just over 3/4. This allows for the natural expansion of the gas during warmer temperatures. An alternative way to check the bottle contents is by using a scale. The tare (empty) weight of the bottle is stamped on the neck ring. The difference between the scale reading and the tare weight should indicate approximately how much gas remains in the bottle." }, { "question": "I still have a little gas left but not enough for a BBQ, what can I do?", "answer": "Everyone wants to get the full value out of their gas bottle. The simple solution that many people use is to have a second gas bottle. Then, you can run your first bottle completely dry and quickly switch bottles without a frantic run to your local servo. You can then swap the empty bottle at a more convenient time." }, { "question": "Don't have a second bottle?", "answer": "No problem. You can purchase a second full SWAP’n’GO gas bottle without a trade-in." }, { "question": "Why is SWAP’n'GO gas bottle swap safer than refilling?", "answer": "Manually refilled cylinders can be incorrectly filled causing the cylinders to vent gas through the pressure relief valve that is part of the main valve. This can happen, with an overfilled cylinder, as the gas gets warmer and the pressure builds. Venting can be a very dangerous situation if it occurs near people or an ignition source and especially in vehicles. SWAP’n’GO® fills the cylinders by weight on very accurate digital scales. The total fill weight is calculated based on the empty weight of the cylinder plus the gas. The scales are reset for each cylinder to achieve the proper full weight. So, you can rest assured that the bottle you buy from SWAP'n'GO is safely filled. SWAP’n’GO also performs two leak checks on each cylinder before it is delivered to your local dealer. We always check the inspection date on every cylinder we fill and only those with valid dates are filled. Cylinders with expired dates are inspected internally and externally, have new valves fitted and have a new date stamp applied." }, { "question": "How do I know a SWAP'n'GO gas bottle is safe?", "answer": "At Elgas, we pride ourselves on our bottle quality. All SWAP’n’GO gas bottles are either new or quality checked and have been refurbished by trained technicians." }, { "question": "Can freezing weather affect a BBQ gas bottle?", "answer": "Extremely cold sub zero conditions can affect your BBQ gas bottle, particularly as it gets low on gas. There could be liquid gas within the bottle that will not come out. The reason for this is that the liquid gas absorbs heat from the metal walls of the gas bottle to achieve vapourisation, which is the process of going from a liquid to a gaseous state. As the volume of liquid gas gets lower, there is less metal surface area providing heat to the gas so it may not 'boil' and vapourise in extremely cold conditions, when the metal gas bottle become very cold. The best solution for this is to keep the bottle in the sun, on cold days, so it absorbs as much heat as possible. Alternatively, switch to a full or near full bottle. You can use the lesser filled bottle on another day, when the temperatures are warmer." } ]

[ { "question": "Why do I need to hire an electrician?", "answer": "Electrical fires claim hundreds of lives each year and injure thousands more, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. Incorrectly installed or faulty wiring causes most of these fires. Your home’s electrical system is complicated—and do-it-yourself mistakes could be deadly.

A GFCI looks like a normal outlet, except it includes a “Reset” and “Test” button. GFCI’s are designed to prevent electrical fires by cutting off the flow of electricity from current that has strayed from a circuit. The National Electrical Code requires that GFCI’s be installed where electricity and water come into contact with one another (think bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor receptacles and garage wall outlets)." }, { "question": "What type of light bulbs do you recommend for home and business fixtures?", "answer": "Energy-efficient light bulbs save you money over time and reduce your carbon footprint. The most common type on the market today is the compact fluorescent light (CFL). CFLs last up to 13 times longer and emit less heat than incandescent bulbs.

The natural curiosity of children and pets presents a major safety concern for parents, but following the tips below can keep your family—and four-legged friends—safe from injury. Place covers on all unused outlets. Keep appliances out of the reach of toddlers or pets. Put a safety lock cover over power strips or surges to prevent small children from placing fingers in outlets. Close doors to rooms with multiple electrical devices, such as hobby rooms, offices or home theatres. Never let children play with kites, planes or similar toys around overhead power lines.

If a replacement is needed, we install a robust system with a new breaker panel and overload correction." }, { "question": "Should I convert my home’s power system from electricity to solar?", "answer": "Solar power is a renewable resource that will never run out—and will ultimately save you money in the long run.

[ { "question": "What will they be doing with them long term?", "answer": "Currently, the Mission Gardens of Christ community’s only form of transportation is foot. This critically limits their access to: medical care, building supplies, commerce markets, food (that they are unable to grow themselves), fellow believers and those of whom do not yet know the Lord. Vehicles offer immediate accessibility to the earthly needs that Mission Gardens of Christ cannot yet provide for themselves. Further, the transportation that vehicles provide will enable MGC to financially self-support by using cars in the capacity of marketing rides to the Bor airport, neighboring cities etc. On a spiritual level, with the addition of vehicles, MGC will have freedom of movement. They will be able to reach communities historically “too far” in distance to share the Gospel of Christ and God’s love. In 2013, during the South Sudanese Civil War, those present at MGC were forced to flee on foot. Lord willing, MGC will never be threatened in that capacity again. In the unfortunate event that a similar occurrence take place, the vehicles provided will bless MGC with a rapid method of escape. 2." }, { "question": "Are we committing to helping them indefinitely/for a period of time/as needed?", "answer": "Our long-term goal is to offer assistance as needed to Mission Gardens of Christ in the coming years.

We initially connected with Mission Gardens of Christ through Bay Area Community Church in Annapolis, Maryland. Bay Area has been working with MGC for nearly a decade. No Greater Commission’s founder, Kurt Parsons, identified the tremendous work that Pastor Stephen and Mission Gardens of Christ is doing for the kingdom of God in South Sudan. He asked Pastor Stephen to identify the current physical needs of ministry and felt the call to provide help through No Greater Commission. In March, this help will come in the form of delivering vehicles. 5." }, { "question": "What are they doing that's benefiting the kingdom of God?", "answer": "Mission Gardens of Christ is currently serving as an epicenter for Christian evangelism in Bor.

Practically, it is a place for discipleship, education, training and health. 6." }, { "question": "How is MGC going to help them be productive adults thru the education they are receiving?", "answer": "Mission Gardens of Christ currently has 4 classrooms that are waiting to be filled. The proposed primary school has the capacity to educate 50 children. Mission Gardens of Christ’s goal is to impart both classic education (such as reading and writing) and functional skills that will enable children to turn away from violence and toward a peaceable, fruitful life pleasing to the Lord. Education from Mission Gardens of Christ will help children get jobs and help support themselves and their families. 7." }, { "question": "What impact does MGC have on the surrounding community?", "answer": "Mission Gardens of Christ holds faith-strengthening gatherings. In September of 2015, during the Bay Area and Nation Builders’ visit, MGC held a Pastors’ conference.

Mission Gardens of Christ provides a location for pastors to train and equips them with the skills and knowledge to go out and serve South Sudan." }, { "question": "8. Who is able to be a part of No Greater Commission?", "answer": "No Greater Commission is open to any and all followers of the Lord as well as those seeking Him. NGC would like to share God’s love to all who are receptive to it. 9." }, { "question": "How can I become a part of helping the Mission Gardens of Christ?", "answer": "Consider becoming a partner in prayer. Pray for God to bless Mission Gardens of Christ and the work being done there. Pray for their endurance, strength and courage in spreading the Good News. Pray that the seeds they sow be sowed deeply, reaching the hearts of the unsaved in Bor and the surrounding areas. Financially, any donation would be joyfully accepted and graciously received. If you have a physical good such as books, medical tools, supplies or any other gift you would like to bless Mission Gardens of Christ we enthusiastically welcome it.

No. Does not require any LinkedIn subscription. However, if you do have a LinkedIn subscription, you may get much better results. Example: If you ask for CEO, and a company does not have CEO, it will search for Owner and Founder. LI Management-Finder relies heavily on LinkedIn to do the matching. Example: If you ask for CEO, and a company has a \"Chief of Staff to CEO\", this record matches and will be captured. C-Level Management-Finder relies heavily on its own intelligent algorithms and heuristics to do the matching. Example: If you ask for CEO, and a company has a \"Chief of Staff to CEO\", this record will NOT be captured. I need more than 7,000 names from LeadGrabber MF Pro." }, { "question": "What should I do?", "answer": "You can add 1,000 more for $495. You can also buy in multiples of 1,000. Call us on +1-866-299-7314, we’ll help you get this. Refer to this link for more info." }, { "question": "How does the count / billing work in LeadGrabber MF Pro?", "answer": "If you buy the $3,495 pack of LeadGrabber MF Pro, you get to append 4,000 executives. And to get this list of executives the product will scan up to 12,000 companies. LeadGrabber MF Pro utilities one Executive Count for every person’s name it finds and adds to the grid. And it utilizes one Company Count for every input company. You need to get a re-fill when either the executive count reaches 0, OR the company count reaches 0. So please be careful NOT to avoid companies and businesses that have a very low chance of having executives on the Internet. For instance, bakeries, barber shops and pizza outlets don't have company websites, and neither are their owners on LinkedIn®. You can track both these counts in the product. Click the \"Add-ons Check Meter\" in the product menu. The window that pops up has these two counts in it. We recommend you test out a small sample list with Management-Finder. And if you find that the company count is reducing quickly, without giving you any executive names, you should consider trashing that company list. Or, at least don't use Management-Finder on it." }, { "question": "How many Names/ Prospects can I capture in one day?", "answer": "It’s hard to estimate, because this depends on what companies that you put in, and on how extensive your LinkedIn network is. The product restricts usage to 500 profile/search downloads a day. This is for your account safety. For each company search, the product uses at least 2 of these downloads, irrespective of whether it finds matching prospects or not. The number of matching profiles count for 1 download each. We suggest you try LeadGrabber MF Pro for a list of your target companies and estimate your daily throughput yourself. I want to increase / decrease the number of prospects that are being captured to the grid." }, { "question": "How do I do that?", "answer": "If you are using the LI Management-Finder, you can read about that here. If you are using the C-Level Management-Finder, you can read about that here. I notice that there are matching records deep in my LinkedIn® search (somewhere on page #2) but LI Management-Finder is stopping short of finding it." }, { "question": "What can be done?", "answer": "LI Management-Finder does not scan all the records returned by the search. It scans up to 3x times the number of records you asked it to capture. So if you ask it to capture 5 records, it scans up to 15 records. This limit on scans has been put for safety of your account. I am using the LI Management-Finder, the records that got captured are not what I intended." }, { "question": "If I need to inspect the search which was done for a company, how do I do that?", "answer": "If you think the records which were captured are not what you intended, then chances are, you need to change the search template that you provided LI Management-Finder. You will find the search list in the browser. I am using the LI Management-Finder, have setup my search template asking for Current Title = CEO." }, { "question": "Why am I getting “Chief of Staff to CEO” captured?", "answer": "LI Management-Finder relies on LinkedIn to serve relevant and matching records. When you ask for Title = CEO, LinkedIn may serve “Chief of Staff to CEO”, or “Executive Assistant to CEO”, or “Deputy CEO”. Notice that LinkedIn® is giving you records with a partial match. If this is not the results that you expect, then you can make use of the Ignore Setting. Type the titles you want to ignore. I am using the LI Management-Finder, have setup my search template asking for Seniority = “C-Level”." }, { "question": "Why am I getting non-C-Level profiles captured?", "answer": "LI Management-Finder relies on LinkedIn to serve relevant and matching records. When you ask for Seniority = C-Level, LinkedIn may serve non-C-Level people as well. LI Management-Finder does not heavily filter such records.

[ { "question": "Will my kidney function recovers with fluid rehydration (slow infusion)?", "answer": "Answer: Using too much diuretics causes reduction of blood volume passing through kidneys. Kidneys are at a state of dehydration, lacking blood supply and oxygen, thus failing to working normally. That’s how Acute Kidney Failure occurs. Keeping fluid rehydration (slow infusion) is helpful but cannot solve the underlying problem. Treatment for Acute Renal Failure should include the following aspects. First of all, Acute Kidney Failure patients need to maintain a restricted diet, including enough water intake, low protein and low potassium foods in diet. However, how much water you can drink is determined by your weight and urine output. Ask your doctor to calculate it and he or she will give you proper treatment. You can also email to us at [email protected] or leave a message below. Our doctor on duty can also give you some suggestions. Secondly, I recommend you to take traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is to increase blood circulation and repair damaged renal tissues. Maikang composition and Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy are common method used for Kidney Failure patients. The main function of these natural treatments is to detox the body and increase blood circulation. Then, kidneys can get enough blood volume and oxygen to repair the damaged renal tissues, thus improving renal function. I hope I have made me cleared.

More than 1.5 million tickets were sold the first day. Always guard your personal information. Attempts to deceive people into believing that they have won a lottery prize are now commonplace. Scammers are looking for sensitive personal information such as a your name, address, phone number, date of birth, Social Security number, bank or credit card account number and ultimately - your money in an effort to defraud you. 1) If you receive a \"winning notification\" by mail, email or phone that you are a West Virginia Lottery or Mega Millions or any other Lottery prize winner: The West Virginia Lottery does not send out winning notifications via postal mail. You will never be contacted by phone or email, unless you entered a specific second chance drawing from the West Virginia Lottery. There is no other circumstance where you will be contacted by us informing you that you've won a prize. 2) If you receive a check with directions to cash and return a portion of the cash, do not respond. The check is not valid and will be returned for insufficient funds. No legitimate lottery will ever send you this type of communication. 3) Do not be fooled into providing personal information to scammers. Scammers often provide Internet-based claim forms or request personal information over the phone, such as credit card or bank account information. 4) If you are requested to pay a fee before winnings can be released to you, this is a fraud. Never send money. A legitimate lottery will never require you to pay money for advanced fees to cover expenses associated with the delivery of \"winning prizes.\" 5) Never redeem a Lottery ticket for someone you do not know. Never pay cash to someone offering to sell a \"winning ticket.\" 6) Never accept a collect phone call from someone claiming to be a Lottery official. You will never be asked to accept charges or to pay for anything in advance of claiming a legitimate prize. 7) Only purchase West Virginia Lottery tickets from one of our licensed lottery retailers located in the state of West Virginia. 8) If you feel you have been a victim of fraud you should: Contact your state’s Attorney General to report it. Read the information and tips put out by the Federal Trade Commission about scams.

TRAVEL™ Keno games (5-minute draws) are available only in certain \"adult environments\"; video lottery games and table games are available only at the State’s four casino racetracks and the Greenbrier resort." }, { "question": "Can the Powerball® or Mega Ball numbers be used in the first five numbers?", "answer": "In short, no. Those numbers cannot become or be used as one of the numbers in the set of five numbers (the white drawing balls); neither may one of those five numbers become the Powerball, Mega Ball or Hot Ball. The two sets of numbers remain separate and apart for drawing and to determine winners. This is how the odds are determined, using TWO different sets of numbers." }, { "question": "Do PowerBall® and Mega Millions® players have to choose the cash or annuity option before buying the ticket?", "answer": "No, you may choose cash or annuity up to 60 days after claiming a jackpot. Internal Revenue Service (\"IRS\") rules govern this issue. At one time, the annuity or cash option was required at the time a ticket was purchased. After the enactment of Internal Revenue Code section 451h, a player now may switch from annuity to cash within 60 days of claiming a jackpot." }, { "question": "Does the Lottery place winning instant tickets in certain parts of the state?", "answer": "No. Winning instant tickets are randomly placed by computer into the packs of instant tickets during the manufacturing process. The Lottery randomly distributes the packs around the state. Because of this system, players in one part of the state have as much chance of buying winning instant tickets as those in any other part of the state." }, { "question": "Why is there a varied payout?", "answer": "A boxed bet is a winner if any combination of your numbers come out as winning numbers. The 3-way and 6-way box bets as they pertain to the Daily3 game: The term \"3-way\" and \"6-way\" refer to the number of combinations that are possible for a certain bet. If your Daily3 bet consists of 3 unique digits, such as 1-2-3, there are 6 different winning combinations possible (1-2-3; 1-3-2; 2-1-3; 2-3-1; 3-1-2; and 3-2-1). This is a 6-way box. A Daily3 number that has 2 like numbers, such as 1-1-2, only has 3 possible winning combinations--1-1-2; 1-2-1; and 2-1-1. This is a 3-way box bet. You win more money for 3-way box bets because there is a lower probability of winning with only 3 possible combinations rather than 6. The same principle applies to the Daily4 box bets, which are the 24-way, 12-way, 6-way and 4-way boxes. Again, the \"24-way\" refers to how many possible combinations of a number there are. A Daily4 boxed bet with 4 unique digits, such as 1-2-3-4, has 24 different possible winning combinations. With 24 ways to win, this is the easiest Daily4 box, therefore it has the lowest payout. The 12-way box applies to a number that has 2 like numbers within it, such as 1-1-2-3. The 6-way box has 2 pairs, example 1-1-2-2; and a 4 way box has 3 like numbers, for example 1-1-1-2. The 4-way box has the highest payout of the boxed bets because with only 4 possible combinations, it is the least probable box bet to win. Make sure to view our “How to Play” instructional videos for more information! I buy several instant tickets in a row and have no winners." }, { "question": "Why can't the Lottery have more winners in an instant game?", "answer": "A Lottery is a game of chance, and to preserve the integrity of the West Virginia Lottery, printing instant winning tickets is done randomly. We cannot program winning tickets without compromising integrity. There are a certain number of instant winners in every book, but even within each book, winning tickets and their prizes are printed randomly. The prize payouts for West Virginia instant games are considered fairly high. The prize payout averages approximately 68%. Instant ticket odds are incorrect. Odds printed on the back of all instant tickets (i.e. 1 in 4.25) are the overall average odds based on the total amount of tickets printed for that game. This means that if you could purchase EVERY ticket that was printed for the game and scratched them all, the number of tickets printed divided by the number of winners found would equal the odds. It does not mean that by purchasing four to five tickets in order at a time will produce a winner. Remember, that the Lottery is a game of chance and not every ticket can be a winner." }, { "question": "What is a straight/box bet in DAILY 3 and DAILY 4?", "answer": "You can play both Daily3 and Daily4 numbers in a \"straight/box\" bet (also known as EXACT/ANY). This simply means that you are covering your straight bet combination with a box bet. Therefore, if your straight bet wins, you win both the straight amount and the boxed amount. If your numbers do not come up straight (exact order), but a combination of your numbers come up, you win only the boxed (any order) amount.

Drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday after 11 p.m. ET." }, { "question": "When did Powerball® begin and how has it changed since its inception?", "answer": "The Multi-State Lottery Association’s first game was LOTTO*AMERICA 7/40® which started sales on Wednesday, February 3, 1988. The first draw was on Saturday, February 13, 1988. MUSL’s second game was LOTTO*AMERICA 6/54® with sales starting on February 5, 1989. The original POWERBALL® game began sales on April 19, 1992. The first POWERBALL® drawing was on April 22, 1992. After more than five years as America’s premier jackpot game, POWERBALL® was updated beginning with the drawing of November 5, 1997. In order to generate larger average jackpots, the game changed from a 5 of 45 white ball plus 1 of 45 red ball game to a 5 of 49 plus 1 of 42 format. Low-tier prize levels were increased, the guaranteed starting jackpot was raised to $10 million, and players were offered the option of taking the jackpot in a lump sum cash payment. In March 2001, a major product enhancement was designed for the POWERBALL® product. This Power Play® feature allows a player to multiply their winnings of all set prizes (all prizes except the jackpot prize) by a number randomly drawn in a wheel spin just before the POWERBALL® drawing. As the population base playing POWERBALL® continued to increase, the matrix was again changed on October 6, 2002 by adding 4 additional balls to the white ball set. No additional balls were added to the red balls with the resulting matrix becoming 5/53 + 1/42. The continued success of the POWERBALL® brand prompted four more states to join the game. The matrix was again changed to insure game performance starting with the drawing of August 31, 2005. Additional enhancements to the game included: minimum jackpots starting at $15 million; the secondary prize raised to $200,000; and the third prize increased to $10,000. While no additional balls were added to the red Powerball set, two additional numbers were added to the white balls resulting in a matrix of 5/55 + 1/42. On January 1, 2009, the population base playing POWERBALL® increased with the addition of Florida to the membership. A matrix change effective for the drawing held January 7 added four numbers to the selection of white balls and dropped the number of red POWERBALL® numbers to 39. The change improved the overall odds of winning a prize, while providing a minimum jackpot that moved from a guaranteed $15 million to $20 million. Another change affected those who pay a dollar extra for the PowerPlay multiplier option; anyone purchasing a PowerPlay ticket who matches all five white balls automatically wins $1 million, instead of the $200,000 cash prize. Odds of winning any prize dropped from 1 in 36.6 to 1 in 35; odds of winning the jackpot increased from 1 in 146 million to 1 in 195 million, but the jackpot provided is higher and is expected to be hit more often because of the increase in play from Florida's players. In January of 2012, the game was redesigned to bring more value to its players. Jackpots will start at $40 million and grow faster overall. There will be more chances to win a prize of at least $1 million cash and the overall odds of winning any prize in the game also improved. The ticket price also changed, moving from $1 to $2. The enriched POWERBALL® game debuted Jan. 15, 2012. Tickets in the game will cost $2 and the Power Play® feature will still be available for an extra $1 per play. For that extra $1, players have the chance to win $2 million cash for the match 5 prize; that is improved from $1 million. While the Power Play now has set prizes, players will still at least double their non-jackpot prizes when they purchase this option. Players in the newly designed game still choose their first five numbers from a pool of 59. But the group of numbers in the POWERBALL® pool will shrink from 39 to 35, producing better overall odds of winning a prize in the game. Players today have a 1 in 35 overall chance of winning, which will improve to 1 in 31.8 in the revamped game. That means tens of thousands more winners each drawing. The POWERBALL® jackpots will start at $40 million, double the current starting jackpot of $20 million. In January of 2014 Powerball's Power play option returned to being a multiplier function. Adding a potential 2-5X prize component to all prizes under the match 5 level." }, { "question": "When the PowerBall® and Mega Millions® jackpots are very high, why not have several top prizes of $1 million or $5 million each instead of one $30 million, $50 million or $75 million prize?", "answer": "The PowerBall® and Mega Millions® games are designed for players wanting large jackpots; sales go up as the jackpot rises. The Lottery provides other on-line games with more frequent winners of smaller prizes. Please note that both games also produce a great deal of second-tier prize winners for matching a certain amount of numbers. Always check your tickets!" }, { "question": "Which game is the West Virginia Lottery's biggest seller by percentage?", "answer": "For Fiscal year ending June 30, 2005: West Virginia Lottery instant games were the top seller with 58%, next was PowerBall® with 25%, Keno with 5%, DAILY 3 with 4.8%, CASH 25 with 3% and DAILY 4 with 2%. Other Multi-state games accounted for 1.7%. PowerBall® is played in 41 States, Washington D.C. and the US Virgin Islands. The lotteries include Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia." }, { "question": "Why did you change the Powerball game to make it even harder to hit the jackpot?", "answer": "There is another side of the coin. The chance of winning any prize under the new Powerball structure (changed January 2009) have improved from 1 in 36.6 to 1 in 35. While the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot increased from 1 in 146 million to 1 in 195 million, the jackpot is higher, grows more quickly, and is hit more often as a result of increased play from the addition of Florida to the Powerball membership. In additon, the changes allow for players to win $1 million who choose the PowerPlay option and match all five of the white balls drawn, instead of the usual $200,000 cash prize. And receiving enthusiasm from players, the new jackpots will start at a minimum guaranteed $20 million, instead of $15 million. The reason the odds of the jackpot were changed was because of the addition of Florida players to the game. It follows that the jackpot is hit more frequently with a larger population pool, which would keep it low. Players buy Powerball tickets because they are attracted to large jackpots; sales are driven by the size of the jackpot. As one player said, \"Where else can I get the chance of this much money for a dollar, regardless of the odds?\" People who want better odds of winning lots of money can play \"Hot Lotto\" (odds are 1 in 10.9 million of hitting the jackpot) or for the cash prizes in Cash25, Daily3, and Daily4. Adjustments have to be made to the Powerball jackpot-driven game to provide the big jackpots players have come to expect. The indicator as to what players want is reflected in sales and in this case, big sales are reflective of a big jackpot." }, { "question": "Why is the cash amount of the PowerBall® and Mega Millions® jackpots less than the annuity amount?", "answer": "The annuity amount is the value of the cash amount invested in securities over 30 years." }, { "question": "Can a group of people share a Lottery prize?", "answer": "Yes, some Lottery prizes (e.g. PowerBall®, Mega Millions®, Hot Lotto® and CASH 25) can be shared. This decision must be made at the time of claim. Some restrictions do apply. The individuals and their respective shares are reported for tax purposes. PowerBall® annuity checks are sent to each individual." }, { "question": "Can lottery tickets be purchased by phone, mail or Internet?", "answer": "No. Current law prohibits such sales. Also, federal interstate trade laws prohibit the sale of tickets across state lines. Tickets must be purchased at an authorized West Virginia Lottery retailer location." }, { "question": "How can I get winning numbers?", "answer": "For winning numbers call 1-800-WVA-CASH (982-2274). Numbers may also be obtained through any Lottery retail location, newspapers, radio stations, or through our website www.wvlottery.com. The West Virginia Lottery is only responsible for numbers provided through its phone service and website." }, { "question": "How does Mega Millions® differ from Powerball®?", "answer": "Actually, they are played the same. The multiplier associated with Mega Millions® is called the Megaplier, which includes numbers 2-5 that can be drawn to multiply prizes. The Megaplier does not apply to the jackpot; it costs $1 extra to purchase. The single sixth digit in the game is called the Mega Ball. The five Mega Millions® numbers are chosen from a field of 75; the Mega Ball is chosen from a field of 15. Prizes range from $1 from matching only the Mega Ball, to the jackpot for matching all five balls, plus the Mega Ball. A $1 million cash prize is won for matching all five of the set of five numbers. As with Powerball®, the numbers cannot be switched, in that a Mega Ball number cannot become one of the five numbers, nor can one of the five numbers become a Mega Ball number. Odds of hitting the Mega Millions® jackpot are 1 in 258,890,850 (odds for the Powerball® jackpot are 1 in 175,233,510)." }, { "question": "How does the Lottery make sure its drawings are random?", "answer": "The West Virginia Lottery goes to great lengths to ensure the randomness of its drawings and to eliminate any possibility of a breach of security that could jeopardize integrity. All equipment is stored in a locked area of our drawing studio. Further, a numbered and recorded seal secures each ball case. Each seal is checked and verified every night prior to drawings by the Lottery’s security officer, the event manager and the independent auditor. For each game, we have multiple sets of balls. The ball sets to be used are randomly selected prior to each drawing by the independent auditor. The auditor monitors all drawing activities to make absolutely certain that all procedures approved by the Director are followed. All drawing-related activities are recorded on both video and audiotape. Prior to every drawing, pretests are conducted and following every drawing posttests are conducted to ensure the random drawing of numbers – to ensure that no one digit is drawn more often than another. Each set of balls is regularly weighed and measured down to 1/1000 of a gram by the WV Department of Weights and Measures. All Lottery drawings are open to the public." }, { "question": "How many West Virginia players have won large jackpot prizes?", "answer": "It seems Multi-State prizes are mostly from out-of-state.

In summary: Sales correspond directly with the number of winners by any given member of the MultiState Lottery. The odds of any ticket winning are exactly the same, regardless of where it is sold. I.e., the largest prize in the world –at the time—was sold in West Virginia’s Putnam County, while the bulk of winners for the drawing were found in areas with higher sales. The top 10 sales counties in WV were located along the borders where there was an influx across state lines to purchase tickets. The largest of West Virginia's Powerball prizes was a $314.9 million jackpot won by Jack Whittaker, who bought a ticket at C&L Super Serve in Hurricane for the December 25, 2002 drawing. The second largest prize won by a ticket purchased in West Virginia was a $276 million (CO $139.4 million) claimed by eight Monongalia Tax Office employees from a ticket bought at Paula’s in Westover for the March 15, 2008 drawing. The third highest WV jackpot was a $79 million Powerball jackpot won by Randy Smith of Martinsburg, W.Va. He took the $44 million cash option and bought his ticket at the Mountaineer ROCS in Martinsburg. The fourth highest WV jackpot was a $62.4 million Powerball jackpot won by Hobert Parnell, a VA resident, who bought a winning Powerball ticket in Bluefield at Blue Flash Food Mart #5 for the drawing held March 25, 2003. The fifth largest was a $30.6 million Powerball prize won by Robert Cogar, a PA resident. Cogar's ticket was bought at Cottrell's Country Store in Morgantown for the drawing held June 8, 2002.

Today, excess funds are deposited into the State’s Excess Lottery Revenue Fund, used to provide West Virginia students with college scholarships and to back bonds for economic development endeavors. West Virginia cities and counties also receive two percent of the State’s revenues produced by the limited video lottery machines located within their geographic boundaries." }, { "question": "What is the difference between the Video Lottery at the racetracks and “Limited Video Lottery”?", "answer": "It should be noted that the machines in both environments are the same with exception to “reel and coin drop” machines that are allowed only in the racetrack environment. Video lottery machines are stand-alone, player-interactive gaming machines with a video simulation of the common “slot” machine. Prior to the fall of 1999, the video lottery machines in racetracks were all voucher, ticket printing machines, sold by a number of state licensed manufacturers. West Virginia law was developed to allow the licensed racetracks to offer some actually “slot” machines that did not use a video simulation and some machines that dropped coins instead of issuing vouchers. The limited video lottery product, in the non-racetrack environment, remains confined to video simulation and vouchers. Limited video lottery games in West Virginia must pay out no less than 80 percent and no more than 95 percent. Video Lottery games located at the state racetracks and casinos must pay out between 80 percent and no more than 99.9% by law. In the state of West Virginia, Video Lottery is the legal use of player interactive gaming machines similar to those commonly known as “slot” machines in the casino industry. As of 1994, video lottery was approved, with restraints set forth by law, at West Virginia’s four thoroughbred and greyhound racetracks. The issue had to be approved by voters in the counties in which each track is located. In 2001, the West Virginia Legislature passed a bill allowing for a limited number of video lottery machines in adult environments. It is referred to as the “Limited Video Lottery Act.” The measure outlawed pre-existing “gray” or “poker” machines and restricted the number of Limited Video Lottery terminals to no more than 9,000. The environments in which they are permitted are classified as adult-only based on the fact that they possess a Class A, Alcohol and Beverage Commission (ABCA) license and meet various other legal requirements." } ]
