Hired and nonowned auto liability is a confusing topic for a lot of business owners, not just nonprofits.
But human service nonprofits often have some additional risks that run of the mill main street businesses don’t.
We could go on. Simply put, nonprofits sometimes have additional driving concerns that regular businesses do not have.
What Is Hired and Nonowned Liability?
Let me define a couple terms. When I speak to a client I almost feel eyes glaze over through the phone. I’ve learned that I can’t off-handedly toss out the term ‘hired and nonowned auto liability’ and expect someone to know what the heck I’m talking about.
Hired Auto Liability: This refers to liability derived from hiring, renting, or leasing a vehicle. I rent a car from Hertz, and thus assume a hired auto liability exposure.
Nonowned Auto Liability: This liability coverage refers to use of a vehicle that is NOT owned by your organization, but used by an employee or volunteer or anybody else doing work on behalf of your organization. The example is simply this: Your bookkeeper gets in his own vehicle and drives to the bank. That car is not owned by your nonprofit, but it’s being used for your business.
Any car that is not registered and titled to your organization that is used to get work done for your organization is either a hired or a nonowned vehicle.
Let me explain how the insurance works by using my job as an example.
When I drive my vehicle to go visit a client, my car is a nonowned auto for my insurance agency.
My personal insurance carrier would provide defense for me and and Hamby & Aloisio: It was my fault. My policy starts off.
This would be defended up to the payment of my full policy limits of $500,000. At that point, my carrier is done. Good-bye.
The Insurance Agency’s policy, with it’s nonowned auto liability coverage would defend The Insurance Agency Only if considered liable for any remaining damages of $500,000.
If the court still considers me liable for any remaining damages, it’s time that I dip into my savings, sell my house, my baseball card collection, and start working some extra side jobs. Hamby’s poicy will not defend me or pay on my behalf on the basic auto policy that most organizations take out.
So, with the basic, unchanged commercial auto policy, an employee is NOT an insured when driving his or her personal car. If the car was rented by the employer/organization, then the employee would be covered. If the employee took the rental out himself, then he wouldn’t have coverage. The devil truly is in the details.
The nonowned and hired auto liability coverage is intended to act as an excess policy over a driver’s personal auto liability.In other words, it provides some additional liability limits over any policy that is in place already.
If it’s a hired vehicle and the rental car liability coverage was purchased, the hired auto liability would respond after that liability coverage was exhausted.
Is all of that as clear as mud?
Let’s just put it this way: If you are a business and people EVER drive their own cars on your behalf, you need to have hired and nonowned liability on your policy. You cannot control the insurance coverage one of your employees or volunteers has in place. And you cannot predict the severity of a potential auto accident.
In order to better protect your nonprofit, you should discuss these liability options with your agent.
I’ve seen costs as low as $150 to add this policy annually. Typically, it ranges between $150 and $500-600 to have the $1,000,000 limits.
If you’re a nonprofit manager, it would make sense to have this policy quoted and presented to your Board of Directors to discuss. It’s a very inexpensive source for $1,000,000 in coverage should an employee or volunteer cause an accident while driving a car that your nonprofit does not own.
Does your nonprofit allow employees and volunteers to drive their own car on your behalf?
Do you ever rent vehicles?
Do you require your employees and volunteers to provide proof of personal insurance?
Do you require those personal liability limits to be at least $100,000/$300,000?
What would happen if a large auto claim caused by your employee or volunteer resulted in a settlement demand on your organization?
Discuss your use of any vehicles (or your employee or volunteer use) with your insurance professional as the content in this article is informational. Each situation is unique and different.
Please leave questions and comments below. I’m happy to bounce ideas around with you.
I am an agent in FL and have a non-profit youth organization in need of Hired & Nonowned. Can you refer me to any markets for this?

8 Ideas for St Patrick's Day party fun!
8 Ideas for St Patrick’s Day party fun!
While our family is not Irish, we do love a good reason to host a party! A St Patrick’s Day party is quite fun for the Irish at heart! I know there is great religious significance to March 17th, but for this post, I’m going to focus on the party aspect of this day. If you’d like to learn more about the significance of this holiday, click on over to History.com and enjoy the information shared.
Foods are especially easy for St Patrick’s Day. Green is the color of choice. While most foods are not typically green, many can be turned green quite easily. Think beyond green eggs and ham.
1. Add green food coloring to apple jelly to make a green PB&J sandwich.
2. Add green food coloring to butter and make a green grilled cheese. We then cut the grilled cheese sandwiches into a clover shape using a large cookie cutter.
3. Slice cheddar cheese into 1/3″ thickness, then use a circle cookie cutter to cut them into gold coins. Add a pickle for more green!
5. Make your own corned beef. It’s easy to do in your Instant Pot!
How about some St Patrick’s Day crafts?
These crafts are fun and don’t take a lot of time nor supplies. They are easy to ways to spend some time with your children. While learning about growing crystals, you can even sneak in a quick science lesson!
5. For a quick decoration, pick up some foam clovers, cut out a circle of foam board, and glue the clovers on it. I found these at Hobby Lobby. But, if you don’t have a Hobby Lobby nearby, here are some to be found on Amazon.
Make the pipe cleaner shape (or use string), set up jars to hold them. The basic idea is to bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat. Add Borax 1 Tablespoon at a time, stirring to dissolve, until Borax will no longer dissolve. Carefully pour the Borax solution into the jars, add the pipe cleaner shape, tie to pencil, ensuring the pipe cleaner is not touching the bottom of the jar. Place the pencil across the jar to hold the pipe cleaner shape in place. Let sit and check periodically to see the crystals form.
7. Here’s a fun craft! Preheat oven to 250*F, melt styrofoam cups into hat shapes in about 2-4 minutes. Check often. You can do as we did here and paint afterward, or decorate with Sharpies ahead of time and see what comes out. As you can see in the photo above, some cups melt quicker than others . . . watch closely . . . and have fun watching!
8. This free printable Bingo game contains 12 different Bingo cards. To grab your free download, simply sign up for our newsletter below. You’ll hear from me about once a week or so with homemaking inspiration, recipes, freebies, and other such encouragement.
8. And don’t forget to print your homemade lemonade recipe!
Lemonade is simple to make, and can be tailored to your desired level of sweetness.
If using sugar, heat 1 quart of water to boiling.
Stir in sugar until dissolved.
Stir in remaining 3 quarts of water.
Adding sliced lemons is a nice touch!
If using liquid stevia, simply combine water, stevia, and lemon juice.

Blake Frazier has done a good job of running the auditor's office for a number of years. My goal as auditor would be to build upon his foundation and employ new technologies where there is a logical fit.
In my current capacity as an IT Consultant, I see new ways of accomplishing business goals almost daily. My clients rely on me to look at their processes and recommend new, better and cost-effective solutions to enhance and/or better them. I will bring this same critical eye to the auditor's office and actively look for ways to increase efficiency, lower costs, and provide even better service to the County Council and citizens of Summit County.
I understand that many Summit County Special Districts have not been recently audited by the Auditor's office. Thus the financial and procedural auditing of the special districts and other relevant offices would be a priority. Modernization, where cost effective, championed. An easily accessible mechanism for keeping the taxpayer informed will be implemented. Reviewing and updating audit objectives, plans, tests, documentation and remediation would also be a priority. State and professional training and certification commensurate with the position is critical for efficient functioning. The Deputy Auditor should be able to competently fill in for the auditor should the need arise. Similarly, the auditor should be a Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP). As Auditor I will sit for the CGAP exam during my first year in office. The relatively poor morale within the Auditor's office, due to internal and external factors, must be resolved.

Joe Jackson, infamous head of the Jackson clan once said to push his children to succeed beyond their limits, is now in a battle for his life, according to news reports.
Jackson, 89, is dying of an undisclosed illness, Page Six reported, citing word from son Jermaine Jackson.
TMZ reported the illness was cancer and that it was untreatable.
Jermaine Jackson, now 63, also told the Daily Mail that the family has been banned from seeing their father. The news organization reported that Joe Jackson’s handlers blocked the family from visiting for four days, but also reported that the order, according to sources, came from Joe Jackson himself, who allegedly made it clear that he did not want family and other visitors to see him or his medical records.
The family was finally allowed access after repeated pleas to Charles Coupet, Joe Jackson’s manager, the Daily Mail reported.
Page Six reported that Joe Jackson’s wife, Katherine, and daughter Rebbie, were allowed to see him last week at his home in Las Vegas.
The media often speculated about a troubled relationship between Joe Jackson and his superstar son Michael, who died on June 25, 2009, reportedly from an overdose of drugs typically used as anesthesia.
The post Reports: Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson fighting for life with terminal cancer appeared first on theGrio.

Today, growth should be a critical priority for your business. And, while there are many motives for pursuing growth: investors want greater returns; businesses need economies of scale; executives want to demonstrate their capabilities; and teams want opportunities for development, ultimately though, growth is about sustainability and survival.
Any business that doesn’t seek out growth opportunities is likely to fade and disappear as new players and disruptors change the marketplace, meet shifting customer expectations and take market share.
Growth should be the number one priority of your businesses’ strategy, applying to the top and bottom lines. Both revenue and margin metrics must grow for a business to remain relevant in its marketplace as revenue growth without profitability doesn’t demonstrate a viable business model, nor does cost cutting to grow margins suggest success in the long-run. So, if you want to remain relevant, then growth trumps all.
And, since growth in your business can come in many forms, from organic strategies to accelerated growth models and more, our Growth Strategy Development offering aims to optimise your results through the minimisation of risk and effort. At The B Hive, our vision is to help businesses to future proof themselves and for that to occur, growth is the key.
You want to future proof your business from disruption.

Colombian Vice President Angelino Garzon said Monday that the government will not allow regional body UNASUR to mediate in the conflict with the FARC, as the guerrilla group proposed.
Garzon said that the Colombian government prefers to negotiate directly with the FARC. He added that for the government to consider a dialogue, the FARC must demonstrate that they are willing to seek peace.
“What the Colombian government demands of the guerrilla is that they free all the hostages without condition, that they cease the activity of kidnapping, and that of planting land mines, and they cease the recruitment of children, which is a modern expression of slavery. Moreover they must be able to demonstrate to the Colombian public that violence is senseless,” Garzon said.
The vice president’s comments follow a request by the FARC to discuss its perspective on the Colombian conflict at a UNASUR meeting.

Wade Rohloff operates a business out of his home in Hobbs, New Mexico. In 2008, when the graphic designer was working a lot of late nights, he ran into a problem.
"My neighbor's teenage sons were playing basketball in their driveway until 2 a.m. at times," Rohloff writes in an email. "They would also bounce the ball off of our cars and side of house."
It was disrupting his work. He tried the usual approaches to solving such a problem, all without success.
"After many heated arguments with their obviously drunk father and trips by the local police, I began searching for a solution. That is when I found the Mosquito," Rohloff says.
The Mosquito is a teenager repellent. The $1,150 device emits an unpleasant, high-pitched audio tone that only people ages 13-25 or so can hear. If you're curious, you can hear it on the company's website.
Our hearing deteriorates as we age (the combined effect of presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, and noise-induced hearing loss), and the higher frequencies are usually the first to go. Most people over the age of 30 can't hear anything above 16 kilohertz.
The frequency of the Mosquito tone is roughly 17.5 kHz to 18.5 kHz. And for those who can hear it, it's awful. The idea is to get young loiterers, vandals and other troublemakers to flee the noise, which has a range of up to 130 feet (40 meters).
By all accounts, it works.
"Those boys and three other teenage friends all stopped playing basketball and started looking around at the sky," Rohloff recalls about the first night he used the device. He pushed the button at 10 p.m., triggering a 20-minute emission of the high-pitched tone.
"They then went and got their father but I could hear him say that he didn't know what they were talking about. In about 15 minutes they all left," he says.
Thousands of Mosquitos have been sold throughout Europe and North America, with the highest concentration in England. Homeowners are a small segment of the market. Retailers, municipalities, school districts and police departments are among the usual customers. A U.S. playground company incorporates similar technology, called SonicScreen, into its equipment.
There are some real problems with the teen-repellent technology, though, beginning with the fact that it doesn't just repel teens. Twenty-somethings, kindergarteners and babies can hear it, too. Distributor Moving Sound Technology claims children aren't bothered by it, but anecdotal evidence suggests otherwise.
Rohloff's 8-year-old grandson, for one, "hated it."
The Mosquito is controversial, to put it mildly. It's an indiscriminate technology: Teens who are perfectly valuable members of society can hear the noise as well as teen vandals can. And there are reports the sound actually hurts. A 17-year-old in Stafford, England, described it as "painful, similar to scratching on a school blackboard." A teen whose route to school included a Mosquito-equipped train station in Devon, England, noted that it's hard to study with a "splitting migraine."
Various human rights organizations and youth groups have loudly opposed the technology, claiming it violates young people's rights. The Council of Europe, which oversees human-rights issues in Europe, agrees.
In March 2010, the council found that the Mosquito "clearly infringes" on fundamental human rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), including respect for physical integrity and freedom of peaceful assembly.
The council also found potential violations in the device's "inflicting acoustic pain on young people and treating them as if they were unwanted birds or pests," as well as a full breach of the right to freedom from discrimination.
In response to earlier discrimination claims, the original manufacturer, Compound Security, revised the device, adding a separate setting for an 8 kHz tone, a frequency everyone can hear. The council found this insufficient to alleviate the device's discriminatory intent.
Compound Security sought an independent legal opinion in 2007, which found no clear human rights violations. Governments seem to agree, since as of 2015, no country has outlawed the teen repellent. Several cities have banned it on public property, though.
The city council of Stirling, Scotland, banned the Mosquito on the strongly worded advice of a 26-year-old council member who could still hear the noise it emitted.
Those who support the use of acoustic teen deterrents call for balancing the rights of young people with rights of adults, who should be able to enjoy their homes and operate their businesses without interference from misbehaving teenagers.
For Rohloff, at least, the device was a successful last resort. "No more arguments, no more police," he says, and it was "relatively cheaper than violence or court."
Rohloff's Mosquito has been inactive since the neighbor's kids left home.
Within months of the device’s release, teens had turned the Mosquito sound into a ringtone. It lets them receive calls and texts during class without the teacher knowing.

I’ve been helping to decipher some old gravestones in the newly renovated Mo‘ili‘ili Japanese Cemetery (est. 1908), a candidate for the State and National Register of Historic Places. Here’s a short list of deciphering aids that I’ve just updated in time for this year’s Obon season.
Rikai Unicode Kanji Tables are invaluable for locating rare (or miswritten) kanji that don’t show up in the usual kanji dictionaries, name glossaries, or input methods. Kanji dictionaries will often give you the code range of similar kanji (grouped by semantic ‘radicals’), so you can scan for a form that is no longer used in Japanese, but that shows up in old names, then cut and paste it into a search box to see if you can get a name reading.
Nanzan University’s 2001 Japanese Journal of Religious Studies (28/3-4) translation of Tamamura Fumio’s “Local Society and the Temple-Parishioner Relationship within the Bakufu’s Governance Structure” helps clarify Buddhist posthumous naming conventions and honorifics.
It’s strange to hear a Christian hymn in a Japanese Buddhist temple, being led by the minister, no less. But [Rev. Earl] Ikeda [of Mō‘ili‘ili Hongwanji Mission temple near the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa] had a reason. “I was invited to do a funeral service recently,” he explains. “I talked with the family and mentioned that it didn’t have to be a strict service done in the Buddhist tradition.” He explained to the family that they could choose a gatha, or song they felt would best honor their loved one. They chose “Amazing Grace.” In fact, adds Ikeda, when it came time to sing, the Buddhist minister himself led the mourners in the Christian hymn.
Speaking to us earlier in his modest office upstairs, Ikeda, sporting his usual attire of T-shirts and shorts, says, “I like that song, and the meaning really fits what Buddhism is about. In Buddhism, the idea is to live the moment. We can’t be attached to certain ways of thinking, that’s exactly what Buddhism isn’t.” It was a story he wanted to share with his membership….
There are 33 temples still open on O‘ahu. Visit one of them today and you’ll find a small number of devoted members, all of whom pay annual dues to keep the temples open. It is not uncommon for ministers to speak in front of memberships compromising a dozen members, sometimes fewer. It’s also likely that a temple’s most active members are in their 70s, 80s, sometimes even 90s….
In addition to a shrinking membership, Hawai‘i’s Japanese Buddhist temples are also facing a shortage of ministers. Take [Rev. Jay] Okamoto. For the past six years, he’s not only been the minister of the Waipahu Hongwanji, but also the temples in ‘Ewa and Wai‘anae, neither of which have had their own resident ministers in 30 years. The ‘Ewa temple has 30 members and the Wai‘anae temple has around 50, he says.
All Japanese Buddhist ministers must be ordained in Japan before they can work in Hawai‘i and on the Mainland. This often makes it difficult to attract local men and women in the first place, because they have to speak Japanese for their studies. Often, Japanese ministers end up serving in Hawai‘i’s temples, but, says Okamoto, they, too, face linguistic and cultural challenges. It’s a catch-22.
There’s also a seasonally related article by David Thompson in the same issue headlined “Bondancersizing the Night Away” (pp. 43-45).
UPDATE: The article is about “Bondancercise” classes, a word formed from the merger of Bon + dancer + exercise, but the spelling “Bondancersizing (the Night Away)” implies right-sizing Bon dancers (weight loss).
When Thomas Dyer heads to Afghanistan in December, the former Marine and one-time Southern Baptist pastor won’t take a rifle with him. He won’t take a Bible, either.
That preparation, he says, will help him bring spiritual care in the midst of a war zone. “We’re going to put it to the test,” Dyer said.
Dyer’s deployment is another step in the U.S. military’s attempt to meet the diverse spiritual needs of America’s fighting forces. It’s no easy task. For one thing, the military chaplaincy is facing all the complications that have affected American religion over the past 40 years. The decline of mainline Protestants and their aging clergy. The ongoing Catholic priest shortage. The explosion of religious diversity. The emergence of people with no faith. The ease with which people move from one faith to another.
UPDATE: There were Christian chaplains in the Imperial Japanese Army, along with Buddhist and Shinto chaplains. (The pastor of the Hiroshima Baptist Church, where my parents served as missionaries, was a Christian chaplain with the Japanese Army in China.) However, there were no Buddhist or Shinto chaplains in the U.S. Army’s 442nd Regimental Combat Team, only Protestants, even for all the “Buddhaheads” from Hawai‘i.

I'm not using live wallpapers at all, but if I would...this one looks like a really nice choice.
But personally I believe this mostly depends on how often you come back to the launcher/lockscreen.
However, a solid wallpaper of course uses less battery juice.

An electricity shortage in Africa’s no.2 copper producer has stunted the mining sector, while weaker copper prices due to slower growth in top consumer China have put pressure on Zambia’s economy and its currency.
Global firms Glencore and Vedanta were forced to lay off workers after temporarily closing certain mining operations to curb copper output in a bid to support flagging prices, shedding thousands of jobs.
“Stabilising power supply, especially to the mines, should give us an upside. Our GDP outlook is on a positive trajectory,” Christopher Mvunga told Reuters in an interview at a mining conference in Cape Town.
The World Bank has said Zambia’s GDP growth will fall below 4 percent this year due to a combination of domestic and international pressures but expansion will pick up in subsequent years.
The kwacha has had a rough ride due to waning demand from the world’s top copper consumer, China, which hammered the southern African nation’s foreign exchange revenues.
Mvunga said reducing power supply to the country’s mines had not impacted on production, adding that supply constraints were mainly targeted at auxiliary activities. “There are non-core mining activities, like golf clubs, that’s where power has been removed. We are not impacting the core production areas of the mines,” he said.
Zambia power companies have cut electricity supply to mining firms by 30 percent. Mining minister Christopher Yaluma said at the same conference that his country is planning to add 1,500 megawatts to its power grid by 2020 in a bid to ease the electricity shortages.
Despite the power cuts and closure of mines, copper production inched higher to 711,515 tonnes in 2015 from 708,000 tonnes the previous year after a new mine owned by Canada’s First Quantum Minerals started production, according to data from the chamber of mines.

As I’ve stressed over and over here in my series of articles during Invasive Plant Awareness Month, it is often the common name used by various gardeners, growers and organizations that creates a great deal of confusion when it comes to regulating and understanding invasive plants.
The plant I am featuring today is one of the best examples of this. Depending upon who you speak to, or where you look online, this plant goes by many different names, including Mexican bamboo, Chinese bamboo, Japanese knotweed, fleeceflower and many more. The latin, or scientific name is Polygonum cuspidatum, but that is of little to no value when the plant is not for sale, but simply on a rampage through our native habitats.
I’ll go with Japanese knotweed, since that appears to be the common name used most often. A related species, also invasive, called giant knotweed, is nearly identical in habit, form and appearance.
Whatever you call it, Japanese knotweed is one of the most imposing of all invasive plants, growing quickly to 10 feet or tall, with thick, bamboo-like, hollow stems and dense, intertwined roots and rhizomes that are nearly impossible to eradicate once the plant becomes established.
The name fleeceflower is familiar to many gardeners for the many garden varieties that are currently available. Fleeceflowers bloom at the tip of the stalk in a mass of fluffy, white blooms. Japanese knotweed is a member of the garden fleeceflower family. The flowers are borne all along the stalk, though most heavily concentrated near the tip. It blooms from midsummer through early fall.
The tall, gracefully arched stalks of this giant plant are deceptively attractive, with reddish green stems and large, heart-shaped leaves that are evenly spaced along the entire length of the plant.
Because it quickly forms immense stands of arching growth that can reach maximum height in just a few short weeks in late spring, Japanese knotweed is a dangerous invader that quickly overtakes large areas and spreads through underground rhizomes.
Plants are easy enough to cut or pull, but repeated action is needed, often for years, once the plant is established, because the underground and surface rhizomes spread so voraciously. Any small piece left in the ground will multiply and spread. Unfortunately, cutting only stimulates the rhizome below, meaning once you begin cutting, you will need to continue for as long as it takes to finally eradicate the plant. This could mean several seasons.
Herbicides such as Roundup will work, but only on the fresh cut cane rim (the edge of the hollow) and only if applied literally within minutes of a fresh cut. If you wait much longer than that, the plant has already sealed itself back up and the Roundup will not be effective. Apply only to the cut stems, preferably with a brush. Repeated applications and repeated cuttings will be needed, again, often over multiple growing seasons.
Colonies of Japanese knotweed, like so many other invasives, quickly shade out native plants on the ground, taking over roadsides, hillsides, parks, even backyard gardens.

Think about what you know about weather patterns and weather reports. What do you think causes weather?
I think weather is maybe caused by how the Earth revolves around the sun in a way because since it moves around it, since the sun shines in different places on Earth at different times it could cause it to change.
I claim weather is caused by many ways, for example like condensation, precipitation, evaporation, ect. With condensation it is when water vapor turns into liquid. When there is precipitation it is rain, snow, sleet, hail, ect. With evaporation its when liquid turns into water vapor and goes into the atmosphere.
I think that air masses, cold fronts, warm fronts, and varying amounts of pressure in the atmosphere causes weather to change. I claim this because when two air masses collide it causes bad weather. When a cold front comes it brings cold and stormy weather. When a warm front comes it brings warm and fair weather. Low pressure produces condensation which creates clouds and high pressure does not produce clouds so there is fair weather and no precipitation.
I claim that the water cycle is a huge factor in what causes weather. My evidence is when there is warm weather, the water is going to evaporate. Then the water will condensate and form clouds. When the temperature is colder and there are clouds, there will most likely be precipitation.
I think weather depends on the atmosphere and the sun because weather is in the atmosphere and the sun can make it hot and dry. The weather will likely be hot and dry if the air is less dense and has a low humidity. Different air masses in the atmosphere can affect the weather. If there is a cold front coming in, the temperature will probably decrease, as the temperature would increase with an incoming warm front. Weather also depends on the geographic location. There probably wouldn’t be much snow in the tropics because they have a hot climate there.
I claim weather is caused by fronts, the sun and/or the way Earth interacts with the sun, and the water cycle. I think weather is caused by fronts because if a cold or warm front is coming in the temperature will most likely drop or go up a few degrees. The way Earth revolves around the sun is also one of the main factors because the sun gives off heat and depending on which way Earth is tilted, there could be a cold or hot season that typically has the same weather. The water cycle affects the weather because it causes humidity, and precipitation.
I claim that the movement of air causes weather. My evidence is that when air sits for a while down at the Equator a tropical air mass is created. Also, clouds are formed when air is pushed upward. Finally, a front is where one air mass overtakes another air mass.
I claim that the water cycle and the movement of air causes weather. My evidence is when water evaporates wind moves it around to a new section of the Earth. Also, low and high pressure zones and caused by air. The pressure zones can create less or more rain fall depending upon if it is a low or high pressure zone. An air mass can bring different weather depending upon the amount of water that is stored within its boundaries, for example continental air masses bring less water as they form on continents where there is less water.
I claim that what causes weather is depended on where you are located at, or if you are having a cold or warm front. The two fronts can go on top of one another and cause bad weather. Low fronts create condensation for clouds.
I claim that weather is caused by what season we’re in, the water cycle, as well as fronts. The way that seasons tie in with weather is for example say it is winter, where ever you are located on earth like Minnesota you’re going to get snow, on the other hand in Texas most the time there isn’t any snow. The water cycle has the biggest role in weather. Depending on what stage it is in such as in a cloud, you could get rain or snow. Fronts explain themselves in a way. Cold fronts have cooler weather, warm fronts have more drier warmer weather.
I claim that the weather is based off of how the earth rotates around the sun. My evidence is how the seasons and weather changes as the year goes by. In a year we revolve around the sun once and in that year the seasons change as the weather changes. For example; when it gets colder outside we have the season winter and when its warmer outside we have the season spring.
I claim that weather is caused by how the earth rotates, fronts, and the water cycle. My evidence is that when the earth rotates we get different amounts of sun. This causes the temperature to change and is why we have different seasons in a year as we rotate around the sun. Cold and warm fronts can also cause the weather because when we have a cold front colder weather is heading our way when we have a warm front we have warmer and more humid weather. And lastly the water cycle takes a big place in weather. During the water cycle water can go through many different states (ex: gas and liquid) when this happens we can experience different types of weather. If there is a lot of water vapor in the air the weather will probably be humid. Also when water condenses cloud and is a liquid if there is enough clouds we can have rainfall.
I think that many factors such as our atmosphere, geosphere, and hydrosphere can affect our weather and cause certain events. We as humans can also affect our weather because of dangerous ways to get resources, which could cause events like earthquakes. My evidence is the various events like oil rigging causing earthquakes, and how certain things in the atmosphere can affect our weather. Our hydrosphere can greatly affect our weather because precipitation needs water, and if we don’t have any (we couldn’t live ), it couldn’t rain, snow, or hail.
I think that landscapes and previous weather patterns cause weather. for example, around lakes it is very windy and cool whereas in field areas the air is still and if it has been cloudy and humid it wouldn’t been a surprise if it started raining.
Weather is caused by a variety of different factors. Some of these factors include the type of air mass or front occurring and what has been happening in places close by. For example, warm fronts will cause warmer temperatures and light weather or if it has been raining in a place close by you can expect it to rain soon.
I believe that the evaporation of water forms clouds, and when too much water evaporates it causes rainfall, as well as potentially thunder. I also know that pressure effects weather as well as warm and cold fronts.
My initial blog post was not entirely wrong, however I have learned more details on the subject. For instance, temperature affects air pressure which in turn affects weather. Heat allows air to expand, and cold makes air dense. In addition, cool air rises as it expands, thus it forms clouds. My original statement on clouds and rain was mostly accurate, evaporated air does condense into clouds, and saturation causes rain.
I claim that weather can be caused by other weather in a different area. Other factors such as air pressure, air masses, wind speed, cold fronts and warm fronts can throw off the predicted forecast.
I claim that the water cycle, the sun and fronts determine the weather. The sun is what in some stages of the water cycle determines what state the water is gonna be in and where it travels. Warm or cold fronts in an area can also determine what state the water is in for example either a liquid, gas or solid. Also warm and cold fronts can determine how humid it is or how dry the air is in an area.
In my opinion the wind causes the weather to change, because when you see a storm coming it could change direction because of the wind or the storm would vanish. The weather can also be changed when clouds are formed, the clouds could get big enough to cause friction to create thunder and lightning, the water in clouds could be condensed to create water droplets, or when the temperature is really low it could cause the condensed rain to freeze which can cause freezing rain and snow.
I believe that weather has to be made by fronts or air masses, like how cold fronts and warm fronts come together either way it’ll make some type or weather, that’s what I believe though I’m not sure if it’s true.
I claim that evaporation makes rain because the water droplets condense into the cloud, then a large droplet would fall fast and collect other smaller droplets which will cause rain. Other weather is caused by warm or cold fronts. The type of weather warm fronts cause are: gentle rain, or light snow. Cold fronts cause: heavy rain, sometimes hail, thunder, and lightening.
I claim that weather is caused by the rotation of the Earth and certain cycles, my evidence is that the Earth spins while orbiting the Earth. When the Earth orbits each side of the globe will get a different type of weather, as the Earth orbits farther away then the part of the earth facing away from the sun will experience Winter while the side facing the sun will go through summer. Evaporation of water that eventually rises helps form rain clouds.
I claim that weather is caused by cloud precipitation and what kind of front it is caused by. Say a cold front hits then the weather will have more rain and more cloud cover which produces rain. My evidence is this is what I think about weather and how weather happens.
I claim that weather patterns are measured from space by satellites showing clouds moving and and what type of clouds. Weather reports come from meteorologists looking at the sky and above the sky to be able to predict what type of weather is going to happen. I think the cause of weather is the clouds moving and the temperature that it currently is in that region will depend on if it rains,snows, or a natural disaster occurs.
I claim that weather comes from precipitation and the type of front that is occurring. a cold front will cause rain and humidity. a warm front will cause freezing and more moisture to happen.
I claim that when L pressure comes in they make clouds that let snow, rain, and thunder come. Fronts also play apart in this because when a warm front go’s over the cold front that makes the cold front close to the ground then its colder close to the ground.
I claim that weather is caused by warm fronts and cold fronts colliding together but that’s mostly for weather like crazy storms. Different areas on a map could have areas that are called Maritime polar and continental polar maritime polar is mostly wet and cold and then for continental polar is dry and cold. If you are looking at a weather map it would help a lot if you know how to read a weather map because there is many things that could give you a lot of information like what people use to measure temperature and what a cold front and also what a warm front is.
I claim that the water cycle has a big effect on what causes weather. In the water cycle, there is a thing called evaporation. Evaporation is when the little water drops from the ground or plants float up into the air then turns into condensation then the condensation turns into clouds and that’s how clouds are formed. Things like rain, hail, and snow are formed by when the cloud that’s holding it cant hold any more water. Another thing that affects the water cycle is maritime polar and these things that are called air masses. If there is a big storm that happened that is caused by when a cold air mass and a warm air mass collides together. I feel like that when people hear about air masses colliding they just think that they turn into one big air mass but that is not true.
I claim that high and low pressure causes weather. When low and high pressure it causes snow, rain, or wind. Warm front makes it sunny and cold front makes it rain, snow.
I claim that low pressure makes it rain or snow high pressure might make it sunny or cloudy. I think cold or warm fronts make weather happen even if it is a light rain or a heavy thunderstorm.
I think weather is caused by when cold and warm fronts collide and it depends on what fronts collide either one will have a storm. And it is differed by ho much pressure there is in that area.
I claim that weather is the outcome of the earths rotation, for example Bolivia is in the tropic zone by the equator. This means that it will always get more sun than Antarctica that is in the polar zone. This means that it will be much hotter and dryer in Bolivia while Antarctica due to the lack of sun is cold, snowy, and wet.
America is found in a temperate zone which means that it is in-between the tropic zone and the polar zone, this means that large Hi pressure air bodies (or warm air bodies) can carry over from the tropic causing the south to be warmer. And meanwhile Lo pressure (cold) winds come from the north. When these two types of different pressure air bodies collide it can cause a warm/cold front.
What I think causes the weather is all the warm and cold fronts that come over places and hit each other and causes storms. Because when the fronts clash they create a type of cloud that can become a storm.
What causes the weather is all the warm and cold fronts that come over places and hit each other and causes storms. Because when the fronts clash they create a type of cloud that can become a storm.
I claim that weather and fronts are related. Cold fronts are areas of cold air that collides with a warm front that typically causes precipitation, either snow or rain. Warm fronts usually cause mild precipitation, sunny weather and clouds. When the two fronts collide that creates weather. Low pressure produces condensation condensation creates clouds which makes fair weather.
I think that evaporation causes weather pattern because there are more severe weather events near the ocean or by large bodies of water. But on land, their are not as severe storms. If you look at the hurricanes that have happened they don’t come on the land very far they stay where they can collect evaporation and other moisture in the air so they can live longer.
as severe because there is less water in the air.
Weather is caused by conflicting air masses and high/low air pressure and different humidity levels. For example, different humidity levels along with rising air causes clouds to form. Another example is that wind blows from a high pressure air mass, to low pressure air masses.
I claim that weather is caused by the water cycle, cold fronts, and warm fronts, my evidence is that in the water cycle there is precipitation and humid air. When cold and warm fronts crash into each other they explode with maybe rain or snow. Stratus clouds form light rain or snow as well. Also temperature can effect the weather too when heat gets larger and cold air get smaller or dense.
I claim that rain is made when you see clouds in the sky, and if a cold front and a warm front is colliding together after the cold front goes over the warm front. When you find a low pressure located somewhere, that means there will be a thunderstorm, strong winds, or snow storms.
I claim that the water cycle is related to weather. Water evaporates into water vapor and forms clouds, clouds especially cold fronts cause snow and warm fronts cause rain and sometimes thunderstorms . Rain flows into rivers, lakes and oceans to then evaporate and the cycle begins again. My evidence is meteorologists have proved it by observations of weather patterns.
I claim that when cold fronts and warm fronts collide either bad weather like thunderstorms, hail or normal weather like rain. Also, the water cycle is a cause of weather because it’s a infinite circle of when water vapor falls as precipitation into a lake or an ocean and then evaporates up to clouds the vapor condenses and then the cycle repeats.
I claim that the fronts and changes in air pressure cause weather. My evidence is because when warm and cold fronts collide they cause weather to happen like snow, rain, thunder, and lightning. This happens because the warm front goes over the cold front causing different kind of stratus clouds to form like normal stratus clouds nimbostratus clouds and cumulonimbus clouds. The water cycle is also a cause of weather because it falls as rain and it flows into river and it also soaks into the ground and then it evaporates back up into the clouds and the cycle starts again.
I think the oceans might have to do with climate change because they heat up and cool off slowly causing milder temperatures. People that are landlocked are further from the ocean so they have warmer summer weather and have colder winter weather. Ocean water evaporates and goes to a cloud ready to form into precipitation as it comes back down to earth.

We make decisions every moment in our lives. Some may be good others may be bad. But it becomes very hard to choose when there are lot of things of the same category to choose from. The internet is such a place where you find thousands of choices and still make very bad decisions. Sheena Iyengar goes deep into decision making process to find out the main reasons why we are puzzled in face of a lot of choices. She explains how can we make good decisions easily.
She has been helping the business since 1990s regarding choice making. She has explored consumer market, medical decisions, social welfare programs etc.
Very interesting talk to be watched on decision making processes.
It has never been easy to come out of our comforts zones. At times we avoid to make hard choices for one reason or the other. But there are times when we have to make hard choices.
Which career you should pick? Who should be selected as a life partner? Where to live? There are a lot of other areas too where choosing a right way becomes extremely important but hard often. Philosopher Ruth Chang offers a new framework to help us to understand what we are. This talk has potential to change your life.
Ted reports, "When Ruth Chang graduated from college, she was presented with a choice: Should she pursue a career in philosophy, or a career in law? Soon after finishing Harvard Law School and dipping her toe in the legal world, she regretted her decision and switched paths. She went off to Oxford University to study philosophy and has been a philosopher studying choice, freedom, value and action ever since."
Your answers would be different in professional and personal spheres. When Ash Beckham found herself in such a such a situation, she pulled between two roles; an advocate or an aunt. She explains that all of us face such situations in real life. She offers a bold suggestion to stand up for your moral integrity when it is inconvenient to do so.

“Challenges of our time—climate change, terrorism, poverty, and trafficking of drugs, guns, and people—the nations of the world seem paralyzed. The problems are too big, entrenched, and divisive for the nation state. Is the nation state, once democracy’s best hope, today dysfunctional and obsolete? The answer, says Benjamin R. Barber in If Mayors Ruled the World: Dysfunctional Nations, Rising Cities, is yes.
In his TedTalk in Edinburg, Scotland, he outlines is argumentation for this new approach.
“Democracy is in trouble. No question about that.
“And when we look for solutions in politics and democracy we are faced with political institutions designed four hundred years ago. Autonomous, sovereign nation-states with jurisdictions and territories separate from one another each claiming to be able to solve the problem of its own people. 21st Century transnational world of problems and challenges seventeenth century world of political institutions.
In that dilemma lies the central problem of democracy. And like many others I’ve been thinking about what can one do about this. This asymmetry between 21st century challenges and archaic and increasingly dysfunctional political institutions like nation-states.

For each of the selected issues from the case study, which aspect of the VALUE and PRINICPLE of beneficence and which GUIDELINE(S) would help you to answer the question?
In addition to chapter 1 (Values and Principles), it is likely that chapters 3.1 (Qualitative methods), 3.3 (clinical research), 4.2 ( Children and young people), 4.3 (People in dependent or unequal relationships) and 4.4 (People with a cognitive impairment, an intellectual disability or a mental illness) and 4.7 (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples) will be relevant.
What are said to be the benefits of this study?
A. Which is the relevant aspect of the Value and Principle of Beneficence?
(f) identifying to whom benefits are likely to accrue.
(b) should be removed if participants request it, provided they have been informed that the material or information would remain from potentially identifiable.
Will the Aboriginal community benefit?
4.7.7 The benefits from research should include the enhancement or establishment of capabilities, opportunities or research outcomes that advance the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
4.7.8 The described benefits from research should have been discussed with and agreed to by the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander research stakeholders.
What are the risks to the participants who are children?
(c) the welfare of the participants in the research context.
2.1.4 In determining the existence, likelihood and severity of risks, researchers and those reviewing the research should base their assessments on the available evidence, whether qualitative or quantitative. They should consider whether to seek advice from others who have experience with the same methodology, population and research domain.
3.3.9 The prospect of benefit from research participation should not be exaggerated, either to justify to an HREC a higher risk than that involved in the participant’s current treatment or to persuade a participant to accept that higher risk.
4.2.5 The circumstances in which the research is conducted should provide for the child or young person’s safety, emotional and psychological security, and wellbeing.
In relation to all of the identified risks, have they been minimized?
study should therefore be gradual and monitored with special care.
3.5.6 Genetic information can sometimes be misused to stigmatise people or to discriminate against them unfairly. Researchers should therefore take special care to protect the privacy and confidentiality of this information. Statutory or contractual duties may require participants to disclose the results of genetic tests or analysis to third parties (for example, insurance companies, employers, financial and educational institutions), particularly where results provide information about health prospects. Genetic research should be designed to minimise any resultant risk that participants will be deprived of benefits available to others in the community. Potential research participants should be advised of any such risks.
4.3.7 A person declining to participate in, or deciding to withdraw from, research should not suffer any negative consequences, such as unfair discrimination, reduction in the level of care, dismissal from employment, or any other disadvantage (see paragraphs 2.2.19 and 2.2.20, page 21).
Are all of the risks justified by the intended benefits?
2.1.2 Risks to research participants are ethically acceptable only if they are justified by the potential benefits of the research.
2.1.5 In considering whether the potential benefits of the research justify the risks involved, those reviewing research should take into account any willingness by participant populations to assume greater risks because of the potential benefits to them, their families, or groups to which they belong.
3.3.8 In clinical research, where patient care is combined with intent to contribute to knowledge, any risks of participation should be justified by potential benefits to which the participants attach significance.

This past month, one of my professors, Dr. Jason Lee, preached an excellent sermon series at my church on Jesus as the Messiah.
By carefully examining Old Testament texts about who the Messiah will be and what he will be like, Dr. Lee provides the context necessary to understand the New Testament passages about Jesus (e.g., Matt 1-2).
He answers the important question, "Who is this son of David, son of Abraham?" (Matt 1:1). In doing so, he highlights the unity of the Testaments as they testify about the Christ. In his sermons, Dr. Lee puts on display the fruit of a theological interpretation of the Scriptures.

A Mary Sue is a fictional character in fanfiction (mostly in fan fiction, a perojative form and one of ficiton) who is lacking flaws (being perfect), over-idealized, unrealistic, and acts as a wish-fulfillment fantasy for the author. The practice of writing a character as a Mary Sue is almost universally looked down upon and considered one of the worst traps a writer can fall into. Many Mary Sues are self-insertions.
Despite being generally associated with fan fiction, professional and original works have had characters criticized as Mary Sues, such as Wesley Crusher of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Note that all examples are highly subjective and in some cases controversial.

The Pasta Canteen as the Dutch name refers to De Pasta Kantine. It's an affordable Italian chain restaurant in Holland that me and Jessy went for dinner as first timers. As I was digging for background info (like a professional blogger would do) on their website, the restaurant aims for coziness, low-threshold and no-nonsense which I have definitely tasted there.
After Vapiano which is also an affordable Italian chain restaurant I wasn't too impressed by it anymore. It's a bummer because I used to like eating at Vapiano. Vapiano is still fairly cheap but the food has become so salty and the flavour has just become monotonous. I was very keen to try out De Pasta Kantine but mostly I was hungry and pasta is always a good thing am I right?
Een tijd geleden gegeten samen met Jessy bij Italiaans restaurantketen De Pasta Kantine. Volgens de website staat gezelligheid, laagdrempelig zijn en no-nonsens voorop en deze had ik zeker geproefd in de eerste keren bij De Pasta Kantine. Fijn!
Voorheen zou ik naar Vapiano zijn gegaan wat ook een Italiaans restaurantketen is, maar Vapiano is voor mij helaas #notdone. Ondanks de nog steeds betaalbare maaltijden, lijkt het zoutgebruik hoger en meer te zijn elke keer dat ik bij Vapiano kwam eten. De smaken maken hierdoor eentonig en dat is jammer want ik kwam graag bij Vapiano eten. Maar goed De Pasta Kantine is daarentegen een fijne vervanging. Sowieso is pasta een favoriete comfortfood voor velen nietwaar?
Judging by the clothes people were wearing here you can tell it was Summer time. Oh long live the blogging delay.
Never a boring time with my girl Jessy.
So Jessy took the pasta with mussels cooked in beer. Because we are supporters of sharing = caring vision so I got a taste of this delicious looking pasta dish too and it was truly delish! The subtle beer taste makes it special and the amount of mussels is generous. The majority of the people around our table also ordered this dish and that pretty much says how well this dish is.
Surprisingly I can`t find it anymore on their menu? Lets just hope it`s a seasonal dish.
I too almost took the pasta with mussels but I restrained and took something else. Another dish that I wanted to try out was their vegetarian lasagne. I haven`t had lasagne in such a long time so I was pretty much craving for a good layered past dish. The lasagna was filled well (with layers of fried eggplant, homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella and Grana Padano cheese) and was not too salty either. I did sprinkled some table pepper on top because I just like to heat things up.
Eventually dessert which me and Jessy shared a classical tiramisu together.
It was a nice tiramisu but for me personally it could used a bit more coffee & liquor in it.
Meanwhile me and Jessy were wondering about the shoes hanging in the tree.
By the way, we ate our tiramisu inside because we got cold and the chills when we were outside. This table switching was not a problem at all as one of our young service led us to a new table inside. Happy that it was not a big deal at all, woo!

We all know that it is important not to take an under-vaccinated puppy to places like dog parks, public areas, pet stores, and other places where one is unsure of the health status and vaccination history of other dogs. Avoiding parvovirus infection involves preventing a puppy from coming in contact with infected dogs, their feces, and contaminated soil and objects.
We also know that a puppy needs to be socialized (getting used to living in a human society and environment) before he reaches 12 weeks of age. Puppies who do not get adequate socialization during this period tend to be fearful of unfamiliar people, dogs, objects, sounds, and environments. Fearful adult dogs take much longer to socialize and require more handling skills in the process, often requiring professional help.
1. Have visitors come over to your house. People of all shapes, sizes, colors, personalities. Children. People wearing hats, with facial hair, carrying things, singing, waving their arms about. People talking in loud voices, soft voices, squeaky voices, and deep voices. Ask visitors to hold your puppy and touch his paws, ears, lips and tail.
2. Take your puppy for car rides and let him see different things from the car. Park in front of shopping centers, playgrounds, parks and places with bicycles, skateboards, wheelchairs, birds and loud machinery.
3. Keep your puppy safe in a stroller, wagon, or carrier and take him into pet-friendly stores, marketplaces, strip malls, ball games, restaurant patios.
4. Bring dog treats out to the pool man, gardener, delivery person and have them feed and pet your puppy. Stay outside and reassure the pup while the workers use their tools.
5. Use your pup’s regular food as rewards while you train him to sit, lie down, come when called, run to his crate, and ride in the car. You do not have to wait for obedience class to start your puppy’s training. Have friends and family train your dog with the food rewards.
6. Invite vaccinated, healthy dogs, who do not go to dog parks/daycare/dog shows, over for play sessions. Take your dog to other houses to play with vaccinated, healthy dogs. Be sure your puppy encounters dogs of different sizes, ages, and breed-types.
7. Attend a puppy socialization class where your puppy will learn bite inhibition and how to interact with other dogs and strange people.
**CAUTION** Shoes, clothing, and hands can carry the parvovirus to your puppy if a person has been in contact with an infected dog, feces or objects. Be mindful of who touches your puppy and enters your house. Using hand sanitizer and spraying diluted bleach on the soles of shoes (or having visitors leave shoes outside) can be helpful.
