The Board of Trustees, administration, and faculty of Norwich Free Academy believe that the learning experiences that take place in the classroom environment are considered to be an essential part of its educational system. Therefore, prompt and regular attendance to school and to assigned classes is a valid and reasonable requirement for the promotion of academic success.
Connecticut state law provides that each parent or other person having control of a child five years of age and older and under eighteen years of age is obligated to cause the child to attend school regularly during the hours and terms school is in session, unless such parent or other person shows that the child is elsewhere receiving equivalent instruction or that the child has graduated from high school or that the child age seventeen has withdrawn from school with the written permission of the parent or person having control of such child.
A tiered approach to intervention shall be implemented for students whose attendance in school is unsatisfactory or at marginal level of acceptance, and for students who are considered "truant." Any enrolled student who has four (4) unexcused absences from school in any one month or ten unexcused absences in a school year shall be determined to be "truant" pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 10-198a and Board Policy #5112.3. For truant students, the intervention approach shall include prompt referral to a planning and placement team in accordance with Connecticut Agencies Regulations Section 10-76d-7/
Course Credit
In order to receive credit for a course, students must earn a passing grade and fulfill the attendance requirements as stated below:
1. Course credit will be withheld when a student exceeds nine (9) class absences from a class in a semester.
2. Class absences due to a student participating in a pre-approved school-sponsored activity, suspension days, religious holidays, or an approved college visit, will not count toward the total of nine (9) class absences in a semester.
3. Course credit being withheld because of excessive absences will not affect the grade awarded and recorded as earned. However, course credit toward graduation may not be awarded.
4. A student who may have course credit withheld due to excessive absences may appeal to the administration for a waiver. All appeals must be made in writing to the student's house principal.
5. Parents/guardians and students can monitor attendance at any time by accessing the information through their Power School accounts.
6. On the tenth (10) class absence in a semester, parents/guardians will be notified of the student's course credit being withheld. Information on the appeals process shall be provided to the parent/guardian at that time.
Unexcused Class Absences (Class Cuts)
1. Unauthorized absences from class are prohibited.
2. A student having a record of three (3) unexcused class absences (class cuts) in a semester will have credit withheld for that semester.
3. Class cuts, study hall cuts, or detention cuts will result in discipline assigned to the student as determined by the school's disciplinary structure.
4. Class cuts, study hall cuts, and detention cuts are a major factor in the deliberations of the appeals committee.
5. Parents/guardians will be notified of unexcused class absences (class cuts).
Tardiness to Class
1. All students are expected to be on time to all classes.
2. If a student is detained or required to be out of class for a part of the class period, the student must present a pass when arriving to class.
3. Unexcused tardies of more than ten (10) minutes will be considered a class cut.
4. The appropriate discipline for tardiness to class will be assigned to the student as determined by the school's disciplinary structure.
Tardiness to School
1. When a student is tardy to school, he/she must report directly to the appropriate house office. Failure to do so will result in assignment of the appropriate discipline as determined by the school's disciplinary structure.
2. For students with chronic tardiness to school, appropriate interventions will be implemented to provide support to improve tardiness.
3. Class time missed due to tardiness to school will be considered as an absence from class and will count toward the total number of class absences for the semester.
Early Dismissals
1. On the morning of a requested early dismissal from school, a student's parent/guardian must either present a signed request or call by phone the house office.
2. The request for early dismissal from school must include the date, time, and reason for the dismissal.
3. Classes missed due to early dismissal from school will be counted toward the total number of class absences for the semester.
Family Travel/Vacation
Student absence from class for purposes of family travel or vacation results in a loss of valuable instructional time. If circumstances demand that students accompany their parents/guardians on travel or vacation during the school year, disciplinary action will not be taken. However, the number of school days missed as a result of family travel or vacation will be counted toward the total number of class absences for the semester in determining course credit.
Appeal Process
A student who has exceeded the established number of class absences and class cuts for a semester and has had course credit withheld may appeal this action by submitting an attendance appeal application to the house principal. Requests for an attendance appeal, absent extenuating circumstances, must be made prior to the beginning of the exam period. The attendance appeals committee will be composed of administrative personnel and the student's guidance counselor. The attendance appeals committee, absent extenuating circumstances, will meet prior to the end of each semester. Students are reminded that an attendance appeal does not necessarily mean that a decision to grant an attendance waiver and course credit will be made. When filing an appeal, accountability must be made in all absences. Partial accountability of absences to bring the total number below the established number of class absences is not considered an acceptable appeal. Parents/guardians and students will receive written notification of the decision of attendance appeals committee.
The attendance appeals committee will consider, but not be limited to, the following criteria in its deliberations:
1. Extenuating circumstances for the absences in question with supporting documentation.
2. Class absences since the date of credit being withheld.
3. Recommendations of the classroom teacher or other school personnel.
4. Record of unexcused class absences (class cuts), study hall cuts, and detention cuts.
5. Record of tardiness to school.
6. Evidence of improvement.
7. Student's written reflection regarding his/her absences
Students are reminded that any and all cuts, including class, study hall, and detention cuts, will weigh heavily against granting an attendance waiver and course credit.
The administration shall publish the specific requirements for student attendance to school and class and the school's disciplinary structure in the Pilot, Norwich Free Academy's Student Handbook.

Zantac for Dogs Side Effects & Alternatives
Stomach ulceration in dogs is a common and prominent medical condition that can compromise your dog's health. Increased production of gastric or stomach acid is the main cause of ulcers in dogs and other gastro-intestinal problems.
Ranitidine (brand name Zantac) is used by veterinarians to decrease acid production in the stomach and prevent ulcers of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Zantac for dogs is available in the market without prescription. However, you need to seek advice from an animal expert before giving this to your dog. To know more about how Zantac manages gastrointestinal problems in dogs, keep reading below.
What is Zantac for Dogs
Zantac (Ranitidine) is a medication that inhibits acid production in the stomach in both humans and animals. It is an anti-ulcer drug that belongs to the histamine-2 (H2) antagonist class of medications. Ranitidine works by inhibiting the receptor that stimulates the production and secretion of gastric acid. This is to establish a stomach environment with balanced pH and prevent irritation of the GI tract. Zantac for dogs is also used in managing acid reflux in dogs, gastritis, and mast cell tumors.
Zantac (Ranitidine) is available in 75 mg, 150 mg, and 300 mg tablets. It is also supplied as an oral syrup, an injectable, and as granules. The typical dose of Zantac in canines is 0.25 – 1 mg per pound (lb.), every 8 – 12 hours. In case of a missed dose, the next dose should not be doubled or stopped. Just administer the same dose and be careful not to commit the same mistake again. When in doubt, seek help from your vet.
Zantac is generally safe and effective to canines but this can also cause reactions and side effects to your pet. The vet may not give this drug to canines with known allergy or hypersensitivity to ranitidine, liver/kidney disease, and those taking other medications.
These are the possible side-effects of Zantac for dogs:
- nausea and vomiting
- loose bowel movement (diarrhea)
- fast breathing
- irregular heart rhythm
- abdominal pain
- itchiness
- weakness and drowsiness
A pack (30 pcs.) of Zantac 75 mg tablets usually costs $6 - $11, one pack of Zantac 150 mg costs $12 - $13, while a pack of Zantac 300 mg ranges from $13 - $16. A 400-ml Zantac 15 mg/ml oral syrup usually costs $ 54 - $55.4. Meanwhile, you may need to spend $38 - $42 for one 6-ml Zantac 25 mg/ml injectable solution.
Interaction with Other Drugs
Before administering Zantac to your dog, make sure to review his medication history. Do not treat your canine using any medication without your vet's prescription. Ranitidine or Zantac tends to weaken the metabolism of acetaminophen. This drug should not be mixed or taken with metoprolol, ketoconazole, itraconazole, nifedipine, and Vitamin B12. Do not administer Zantac to your dog when your pet is taking cephalosporin, propantheline, and other histamine-2 blockers. Also do not give Zantac to pregnant and lactating dogs.
Ingredients in Zantac
Zantac is mainly composed of the active ingredient ranitidine hydrochloride that makes it a histamine-2 antagonist. Zantac also contains inactive ingredients such as microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, titanium oxide, triacetin, sodium, and yellow iron oxide. Zantac drugs do not contain lactose and gluten.
Zantac Alternatives
Zantac medication may not be administered to all dog breeds due to possible hypersensitivity and adverse reactions. But there are still other alternative treatments for GI disorders in dogs. These include:
- Acupuncture and acupressure
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine that can be used to manage digestive issues in dogs. Restoring your dog's chi or energy flow in the body can bring all his bodily processes into a normal state – including digestion. Acupressure therapy is performed by stimulating specific points in your dog's body that are related to digestion.
The following points in your canine's body are stimulated during acupuncture and acupressure therapy.
- CV 12 – This is the Center of Power, which is located midway between the navel and sternum.
- St 36 – The Leg 3 Mile (St 36) is found on the lateral part of the hind leg, 2 - 2 ½ inches below the patellar bone (knee).
- Sp 6 – The 3 Yin Meeting is located in the medial aspect of the posterior leg, just above the hock along the groove of the shinbone (tibia).
- St 45 – Also called the Evil Dissipation, St 45 is located at the nil bed of the posterior paw, on the third digit.
- GB 41 – The Foot Above Tears can be found at the top part of the hind paw, specifically in the valley where 4th and 5th metatarsals (foot fingers) meet.
- Essential Oils
Essential oils are made from plant extracts that possess several healing properties such as antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and mood-stabilizing properties. For dogs' GI disorders, peppermint oil can improve weakness, nausea, pain, and inflammation. You can also give other essential oils such as ginger, lemongrass, cardamom, spearmint, and peppermint. Just make sure to mix essential oils with a carrier oil such as avocado oil to make it safer and more effective.
- Hemp Oil
Also called hempseed oil, hemp oil is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant. This possesses a non-psychoactive substance that makes it safe and effective for humans, canines, and felines. Hemp oil is packed with Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9, and beneficial protein compounds. Just like CBD oil, which is extracted from leaves, flowers, and stalks of the hemp plant, hemp oil also contains extremely low levels of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) – approximately 0.1% – 0.3%.
How Does Hemp Oil Work?
Hempseed oil is rich in Omega-6 fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) beneficial to your dog's health. According to research, GLA is a building block of prostaglandins – essential substances that are abundant in dogs.
Prostaglandins mimic the action of hormones to maintain homeostasis in the body. They also regulate many different bodily functions such as smooth muscle contraction, regulating body temperature, controlling inflammation, and digestive functions. Hemp seed oil can be administered by mixing with your dog's food or incorporating into a treat. It is best to mix hempseed oil with red meat to boost your canine's health. The recommended hempseed dosage is 1 teaspoon for every 1 – 1 ¼ lb. of dog food.
Gastro-intestinal disorders such as acid reflux, gastritis, esophagitis, and mast cell tumors can greatly affect your dog's overall health and well-being. When your dog shows signs of GI irritation such as nausea and vomiting, bring it immediately to the nearest animal clinic.
Zantac (Ranitidine) may be given to your pet to inhibit the production of gastric acid that can lead to GI disorders. Your vet may also advise you to use hemp seed oil or hemp oil. Though considered an OTC (over-the-counter) medication, Zantac for dogs should never be administered without your vet's prescription. Do not compromise your dog's health. Follow the right dosage and the right route of drug administration. Lastly, always ask an expert!

How to Increase Consumer-Driven Health Plan Adoption and Satisfaction Amongst Employees
- Renée Sazci
- 6 min read
3 Tips for Building A Communications Plan that Increases Adoption
Employees are more likely to transition to a Consumer-Driven Health Plan (CDHP) if they know more about them. This is why a comprehensive, and ongoing, communication plan is essential. Here are some tips on how to construct a robust communication plan that drives employee adoption.
1. Simplify the Message
- Healthcare choices are complicated, so employers should use easy-to-understand language that breaks down complex terms and concepts; avoid the jargon.
- Refer to a High-Deductible Health Plan as an HSA-eligible plan, not an HDHP. The term "high-deductible," alone, can cause some individuals to veer away from considering the many advantages of a combined HDHP and HSA.
- When discussing Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), avoid complicated tax-related terms and keep the messaging simple. Rather than digging into the details of the triple tax-advantaged savings account, the message might simply be: "We give you money to use to pay for your healthcare expenses."
2. Visualize the Cost Savings
During the first-year rollout it's crucial that early adopters visualize the short and long-term cost savings from a Consumer-Driven Health Plan. This can be accomplished most effectively through visuals, such as an infographic or chart, rather than paragraphs of text. Create an easy-to-understand visual that compares the total CDHP costs (annual prices for premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses, with the savings subtracted from an HSA), to the total costs of the other plan options (PPO or HMO). Even further customizing visuals to varying employee life stages can provide a greater sense of how their health plan decision will personally impact them.
Employees should also be encouraged to use a health plan comparison tool to see how much they'll save compared to other plans, an eligibility calculator that outlines their maximum annual HSA contribution options based on IRS regulations, and a future value calculator to visualize how much money they could potentially save over the course of a lifetime when making regular maximum contributions to their Health Savings Account.
3. Focus on the Benefits for the Employee
Most employees only want to know "What do I get?" and "How much is this going to cost or save me?" These questions should be answered, as simply and as clearly as possible, across all communications. For Health Savings Accounts, highlight how HSAs complement retirement planning. Assist employees in realizing that an HSA is like a 401(k) for healthcare, with the added benefit that they can spend the money from the date of HSA-eligible plan enrollment, throughout retirement. Also, show how much they can save on premiums and if an employer is contributing to employee HSAs, emphasize their commitment to the employee's health and financial well-being. But be sure that the information is presented in a balanced way otherwise employees might become overwhelmed. It's most effective to introduce HSAs at a high-level and then follow up with additional details.
How to Rollout the Communications Plan
When introducing a CDHP, start communicating early. How early an employer begins communicating plan changes can depend on the size of the company. Ideally, large employers should start communications one year to nine months in advance, mid-size companies should begin at least six months prior; and small groups should start at least three months prior to Open Enrollment. The rule is, however, the sooner, the better. These early communications should cover what and why the change is being made. And since employees consume information differently, multiple communication channels and mediums should be leveraged to ensure effective dissemination.
People generally think they know a lot more about health insurance than they do. A survey found that 96% of Americans overestimate their understanding of health insurance concepts. And when asked to define common health insurance terms such as deductible, co-insurance, co-pay, and out-of-pocket maximum, only 4% of respondents could define all four terms. This is why a glossary of terms is an essential part of the communication contents. Frequently Asked Questions, such as a Health Savings Account FAQ, are another piece of helpful content to address common questions and misconceptions before they are asked. And, finally, don't forget to leverage partner calculators so employees can customize projections for their anticipated needs.
Four Ways Education Can Increase Consumer-Driven Health Plan Satisfaction
To have successful Consumer-Driven Health Plan implementation, and heightened satisfaction, it's vital that the basics of CDHPs are communicated, that employers support employees in plan selection, and a few best practices are especially followed before and during Open Enrollment, but also year-round.
1. Consumer-Driven Health Plan Basics
Continual education is paramount to driving home the value of a Consumer-Driven Health Plan, increasing plan satisfaction, plus the rate of full replacement. As part of a larger communication plan, employers should share these four CDHP basics with employees. This will ensure that current and prospective CDHP members are informed of the plan's benefits.
The Four CDHP Basics:
- HDHPs provide lower-cost premiums and out-of-pocket costs can be lower.
- HSAs are triple tax-advantaged accounts. The account holder can save up to 35%* more in taxes, and are not taxed when spending on a broad range of everyday healthcare expenses for the employee, their spouse, and tax dependent children.
- All preventative care services are covered without charging coinsurance, even if you haven't met your yearly deductible.
- HSA funds never expire and rollover from year-to-year, through retirement, even if an employee changes jobs or health insurance.
2. Before and During Open Enrollment
Months, if not a year, before Open Enrollment employers should communicate the news about the Consumer-Driven Health Plan addition. This news should be accompanied by the roll-out of monthly thematic CDHP education, plus mandatory in-person meetings to introduce the CDHP. When Open Enrollment comes around it's important to choose active versus passive benefit enrollment. This way, employees play an active role in deciding their health benefits on an annual basis, rather than defaulting to the previous year's selection.
3. Health Plan Selection
Assisting employees in evaluating their health plan options based upon their specific financial situation and health needs is vital for health plan satisfaction. In this instance, a health plan comparison calculator is a beneficial tool for comparing projected healthcare costs and determining the most economical option for an employee's expected healthcare usage. Such tools take monthly premiums, the annual deductible, and the out-of-pocket maximum into consideration, so employees can make the most informed healthcare decisions.
Ongoing, and Seasonally
Once Open Enrollment is behind them and employees are becoming accustomed to their new (or renewed) healthcare plan, they'll want to know how to get the most from their plan. Here are some helpful tips to increase engagement and plan satisfaction no matter the season.
- Encourage employees to make pre-tax HSA contributions.
- Promote the use of preventative care services offered with the Affordable Care Act.
- Encourage employees to tell their doctors they're on a CDHP before making decisions about care. This can reduce cases of large and unforeseen medical bills.
- In non-emergency situations, promote telehealth.
- Encourage the use of shoppable medical and dental procedures, plus medication comparison shopping.
- Provide resources beyond open enrollment, such as tax season deadline and required HSA tax forms, lifestage considerations, and policy updates.

Australia has a well-organized and well-structured education system. The education starts at the age of five or six, but it may differ by a narrow margin between states. It starts with the preschool education which is not compulsory and can be offered within a school or separately. The primary and secondary school encompasses the compulsory education for Australians. There are a large number of primary and high school across the country with most of them being public schools. It is estimated that public schools amount to 60% of scholars as opposed to 40% in private settings. All these education providers must be licensed by the government and must fulfill certain requirements including infrastructure and teaching. Universities, on the other hand, are mainly public institutions.
The Australian education system has established a standard curriculum so all scholars will be given the same quality of education. Despite there may be some states at which this curriculum is modified a bit, but the change is not that significant. The actual curriculum set out in Australia education system is based on important abilities one must have in his life: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and communication technology, Critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding, intercultural understanding. Education providers at all levels in Australia must satisfy certain requirements related to their facilities. With this being said, these institutions are equipped with computers and Internet and have advanced laboratories.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create an online business?
When I first started my coaching business, I really didn't know a whole lot about building businesses online. I did a little bit of stuff online, I did a podcast online, I did a little video online, but aside from that, I really hadn't focused on getting clients online. I had some experience working in marketing for organizations and influencers that already had a large following, I understood marketing campaigns that kept things running, but hadn't experienced building something from the ground up.
Before I learned what worked, the first thing I did was I signed up for programs that had leads online that could refer me coaching clients. One of those platforms allowed me to be able to coach multimillionaires in peak performance, and that's how I really was able to get credibility in that area fairly quickly. I already had the training in peak performance from my father who had sold Tony Robbins programs growing up and had provided me with all the training materials I needed. I already knew the content, I already knew how to teach people in it. It was just a matter of getting the clients. Ever have that feeling?
Signing up for a service like that, which already had influence online and then they referred me clients was really helpful. But I knew I needed to expand my business online myself, so in order to fast track my business, I hired other coaches to teach me the process.
As a result, I broke through and I learned how to get my own clients online using my own social media. I finally got to the point where people did start to come to me online for various coaching needs. In fact, in 2017 I started to average about 25 coaching requests a week and I began to focus on meeting the demand rather than finding clients. Meanwhile, I continued to use the online service to get clients and began to coach in building a business online and peak performance because my social media was still mostly focused on AmazonTM FBA. I didn't want to limit myself just to AmazonTM and I knew it would take awhile to communicate to my community what else I coached in. Besides, I was racking up amazing experience behind the scenes.
Today I want to give you some pointers on what has worked for me in building my business online.
1. Focus one area or niche and one problem
This is really important because you may say, "I want to be a coach," or, "I want to sell X, Y, Z product and I want to be the next Walmart," but if you try to be the next Walmart right out the door, people don't know what you're actually there for. What you want to do is focus on one need that you are meeting and one solution. When you begin to do that, you're going to begin to attract people for that specific need and for that specific solution. Then you can provide them with massive value around that. That will get you started.
Let me share an example of doing this the wrong way, I was coaching somebody that wanted to be a coach and he wanted to focus on procrastination, but then he also wanted to focus on weight loss. We really had to walk through this whole process with him of getting him just to focus on one thing.
I think that this is the number one issue that people deal with when they're starting a business online because they see all the things that they can offer. They know that they are not limited to this one thing, but if you focus too much on everything at once, you're not going to be able to reach anybody. It's very important to focus on one thing at a time. Build it, then move to the next thing.
2. Valuable Downloads
The first thing that is important to in creating content for people to download is make sure it is valuable. You don't want to just give somebody some sort of cheap download that's not worth money, because it's not about just getting somebody's email address, it's about building relationships, and when you approach online business with building relationships and creating massive value for people and really answering their problems and giving them solutions, then you create more of a community rather than just getting a bunch of emails.
3. Focus on Pressing Needs
You can kind of see the journey that I went through this on YouTube, initially where I was creating videos. They were great, but they weren't meeting pressing needs. Then when I started to do videos on AmazonTM FBA, that was more of a pressing need because it was a way that people could make money quickly. Faster than building a business online just from scratch anyway, which does take time.
4. Make Sure Your Solutions Work
You don't want to go out there and start a business and then lie. I see people do this. They'll create something and it's not something that's actually delivering. You want to create something that is helpful, that people can actually learn that is actually legit and if they put the work in, they're going to get the results. You want to really make sure that people succeed and do everything that you can to help them succeed. If you're selling a product, you want that product to be high quality, you want it to be something that people really love, that they come back to you for. You really want to focus on the quality of people's experience with you and make sure that your solutions and your products work.
5. Your Solutions Don't Need To Be New
Your deliverable's don't need to be brand new ideas that nobody else has shared. It could be that there are a million other people that are doing the exact same thing as you, you just have to put your own spin on it.
For example, let's say you are talking about health and the benefits of apple cider vinegar. Maybe you find somebody out there that did this full-on research report on how apple cider vinegar transforms the anti-aging process. Well, instead of focusing on that, you could just say, "Wow, I had stomach issues and I started drinking apple cider vinegar and this is how it helped me. If you want to get information about how I solved my stomach issues, download now."
Basically, you are just focusing on what that product means to you and your experience with it. I did that with AmazonTM FBA. I focused on my experience, not everyone else's experience. You just have to put your own spin on it and just be genuine and honest in your approach.
6. Focus on Content and Not Tools
This is something that I have really run into when I've coached people. They want to know the fancy tools, how to do the ads, they want to sign up. In fact, a lot of people that come to me, they already have ClickfunnelsTM, LeadpagesTM, they're paying $80 a month for stuff, and they don't even have one client. They don't even have anybody in their email. They don't have email campaigns, they don't have anything set up. It's important to have all of your backend processes set up so that you can build relationships with your clients, or they will join and then you will lose them.

Scale9Grid Class for Masking in AS3
I ran into another quirk with Flash today. I couldn't get Flash to apply Scale9Grid correctly on sprites/movieclips that were being used as Masks. After searching for help it seems as though the two features are not compatible (please correct me if I am wrong). Therefore, I threw a class together this afternoon that creates a Rectangle with rounded corners that automatically scales according to the scale9Grid rules. The class allows you to use the rounded rectangle as a mask without having the corners distort when it scales.
Its nothing fancy and when I wrote it I didn't intend it for the public population. However, I haven't been good at donating code so I figured I should throw it out there anyways. Hopefully it will help me start a habit of publishing my code, which should improve my coding practices and maybe even help someone in the process.
View the source code here.
Feel free to use/edit/demolish the code and as always feedback is greatly appreciated.

The region is divided into the départements (counties) of Aude, Gard, Hérault, Lozère, and Pyrénées-Orientales. You can fly to the regional capital Montpellier (Hérault) by low-cost airline, or to Carcassonne (Aude) and Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales). The flight time is roughly 2hrs from London.
A more environmentally friendly option for family holidays in Languedoc-Roussillon is the train: take a Eurostar to Lille and change to a TGV to Montpellier, Bézier, Narbonne or Perpignan. London–Montpellier is about 8hrs 30mins travelling time, meaning you can arrive in plenty of time for dinner if you take an early-morning Eurostar. Alternatively, take a late-afternoon Eurostar to Paris then transfer onto an overnight sleeper (to Narbonne or Perpignan). Prices start at £109 return, £94 children 4–12, £99 ages 12–25. The Man in Seat 61 (seat61.com) has all the info you could possibly need; you can book via Rail Europe.
Montpellier is a long old drive from ferry ports (1040km/646 miles from Calais; 987km/613 miles from St-Malo in Brittany), although of course there are countless lovely places to stop over en route should you have the time and inclination. One quite expensive time-saver is to put your car (and yourselves!) onto the Motorail train from Paris to Narbonne (or from Dusseldorf in Germany). You could also shave off some driving time by sailing from the UK to northern Spain – the ferry ports of Bilbao and Santander are 677km (420 miles) and 774km (480 miles) from Montpellier respectively.

In Europe, many of fashion and luxury's biggest names benefit from little legal loopholes that center on how they may use certain "Made in" labels. Because the country of origin for labeling purposes, according to the European Union's rules of origin, is where the final production process is carried out and generally does not take the origin of other manufacturing efforts into account, some of fashion's most esteemed brands can use the coveted "Made in France" and/or "Made in Milan" labels – and maintain the allure of domestic workshops and old-school craftsmanship – when the products were largely made outside of their own domestic factories.
For a concrete example, consider some of Louis Vuitton accessories. As the Guardian stated in 2017, "Louis Vuitton's Italian shoes are the very height of luxury. Its Venice workshop claims to embody 'ancestral savoir-faire' in a region 'revered for its fine shoe craftsmanship.'" This is, however, "far from the full picture, as many of the shoes and boots it sells for between £500 and £1,800 a pair and stamped as "made in Italy" are mostly made in Transylvania, a region better known for vampires than any tradition of luxury craftsmanship."
Hardly a one-off venture, academics Dale Rogers, Thomas Choi, and Rudolf Leuschner wrote in their publication, Supply Chain Financing: Funding The Supply Chain And The Organization, that "while a Louis Vuitton handbag may carry a 'Made in France' label, [many of its] bags are produced in Romania." The same holds true for many-a-luxury brand and their expensively-priced products.
As for how such labeling falls in line with the law, the reason is relatively simple: "after assembly [in Romania or wherever a brand's products are being made], they are exported to France, where they are 'finished' so that they qualify for a 'Made in France' label in accordance with EU law."
In theory, the "Made in France" label – and various its equivalents, such as those of Swiss and Italian ilk – is a valuable one. "Consumers care about the origin of their products. The Chinese, for instance, which are the largest nation of luxury consumers in the world, want their watches to be Swiss, their perfumes and cosmetics to be French, their cars to be German and their bags and shoes to be either Italian or French," Bernstein analyst Luca Solca wrote several years ago.
For Italian brands, "'Made in Italy' is a consistent marketing statement that reinforces their brand positioning," according to Solca. That positioning can be translated to prestige and premium pricing, which is passed on to consumers, making these labels far more significant than merely a legal requirement that calls for products to include specific notations about their origin. Such labels are an marketing tool that is central to the business of most luxury brands, which often use them in coincidence with long-standing messaging about their a brand's history and its pattern of superior craftsmanship. (To a large extent, this remains true in the upper echelon of the fashion segment even as global supply chains become more complex and certain brands, such as Balenciaga, openly defy longstanding norms by proudly affixing their products with "Made in China" tags and other labels).
Meanwhile, in the U.S., where a "Made in the USA" tag has an appeal all of its own, labeling laws have become a topic of increased attention for manufacturers and regulators, alike. In much the same way as Italian and French brands are looking to label their products with the country that is their home turf, many American companies "want to showcase products that have been made in the U.S. by marking them with the phrase or using the Stars and Stripes in advertising," according to Venable's Melissa Landau Steinman, Elliot Kelly and Nikita Bhojani. However, before doing so, they caution that "sellers must understand the strict federal and state laws and standards for making such claims."
They point to developing Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") guidance as a critical point of reference. In accordance with the FTC's current standard, a product that is advertised or offered for sale with a "Made in USA," "Made in America," or equivalent label must be wholly domestic or all or virtually all made in the United States. Specifically, "[a] product that is all or virtually all made in the United States will ordinarily be one in which all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin."
The FTC cited this standard in the case that it filed against Williams‑Sonoma, alleging that the multi-billion dollar San Francisco-based home goods company violated the FTC Act by making overly broad claims in its marketing, including on social media, that certain of its products are "all or virtually all made in the United States," when, in reality, they were imported in their entirety or contained a significant amount of imported materials.
The case settled in late March 2020, with Williams-Sonoma paying $1 million and vowing not to making unqualified U.S.-made claims for any product unless it can show that: (1) the product's final assembly or processing occurs in the U.S.; (2) all or virtually all of the product's processing takes place in the U.S.; and (3) all or virtually all of the product's components or ingredients are sourced in the U.S.
Meanwhile, another recent case – Baum v. J-B Weld Company – centered on domestic labeling requirements, although, this time under California state law, which mandates that companies refrain from advertising a product as "Made in USA" if it "or any article, unit, or part thereof, has been entirely or substantially made, manufactured, or produced outside of the U.S." (This is subject to an exception for "merchandise made, manufactured, or produced in the U.S. that has one or more articles, units, or parts from outside of the U.S., if all of the articles, units, or parts of the merchandise obtained from outside the U.S. constitute not more than 5 percent of the final wholesale value of the manufactured product.").
In this case, which was filed in a California federal court in April 2019, Felix Baum accused adhesive-maker J-B Weld Company of improperly using "Made in U.S." language when its packaging, such as its various tubes, plastic bottles, and caps, was not made in the U.S. J-B Weld sought to have the case tossed out, arguing that California state law does not require product packaging to be made in the U.S., just the products, themselves. The case is still underway, but to date, the court refused to dismiss the case, and instead, held that it will be up to a jury to decide whether packaging falls within the scope of the state's labeling law.
Taken together, Steinman, Kelly and Bhojani say that "these cases show that the 'Made in USA' regulation continues to be something sellers should pay close attention to when it comes to compliance," particularly given that "FTC and class action plaintiffs have been, and continue to be, active in the 'Made in USA' space." With that in mind, "Marketers seeking to make 'Made in USA' claims should evaluate their manufacturing processes and products — and, if necessary, look up the supplier chain — to confirm whether the products they sell meet the 'all or virtually all' standard or whether any claims about them need to be qualified" by way of language, such as "assembled in the USA of domestic and imported materials."

On the road again
Blog six-On the road again.
In reading over what I last posted to you, I see that the words are somewhat negative. My outlook for myself, Tina, the world and you is in a good light. For future posts I will attempt to always be on more of an optimistic note.
Experiences vs. Things—When you are living in this van and holding a minimalist lifestyle, it can help you prioritize what is truly important in life, and let go of what is not. It can help you choose experiences instead of things, so that you can do more of what you love, and less of what you don't. You see, experiences are what life is all about.
With less in life, you can focus on making all the things that you have and do aimed toward excellent. I have seen so many people who have too much, and/or do too much, and they are constantly stressed and often aggravated.
When you are minimalist, you can make sure that every detail is something that you want.
Life is better.
Living in this way is very inexpensive, so you have more to give away, and/or, not have to worry so much about expenses. Life gets easier and grander. Being rich, to me, is having enough money to live the lifestyle that you want. So, in aiming toward the minimalist life, if that's what you want, you are rich.
"The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them."– Paulo Coelho
In my life I have discovered that is not what you have or do that makes a good life, it is the experiences you go through and the love you generate that makes a good life. As you might know, I have traveled much and been through some life-changing accidents, yet I continue to pursue the good and help as many people as I can to live a better life.
The smaller you get the easier life is.
Joy and meaning—Every day you have "moments." You must cherish these moments. When you have and deal with less you can often perceive these moments more clearly. All these "moments" added up can live you with a spectacular life in the long run.
Appreciate that this is all you have.
I have a challenge for you. Make a list of your things you have; one list are the things you need, another list are things you "may" not need. You will see that you have many things that aren't necessarily necessary that you own.
It's a trade off; I believe minimalism will always win.
Right now Tina and I are sitting on the grass in yet a different park. We just put together a delicious salad and I am practicing my juggling while Tina is taking a nap (ok, you caught me, I can't practice my juggling while I type these words—or do I have a special skill?)
I have been juggling daily and the juggling is coming back, makes me feel good.
5:36am on June 23, 2015, awake early again. Last night we slept on the lawn at the house where Tina grew up. Her mom has a cat and with my allergies I would not have slept. So, instead of sleeping in the van, we choose something different.
Two days ago we decided to take a jaunt in the van, this time to Atlantic City. Half way there we stopped at a very large park area. We were to only ones there and resolved to spend the night in this beautiful place. Very quiet, very dark, perfect for sleeping, so, off to slumber we went in our comfort.
At 1:30am we were awoken by a state police officer who basically told us we had to leave the park. I guess they comb the park every night, and to me, what a waste of time and money for them, and this money is from us, the tax payers.
I said to him, "What harm are we causing in our being here?" He basically said, "It's a regulation." I knew he was simply "doing his job", but I hate it when people do not think and just "do their job". Knowing it was the middle of the night and that we would not cause any harm, he could have simply said, "Well, stay the rest of the night and please don't repeat this.
I was about to ask him to state the exact regulation that we were doing against, trying to make him think, but with Tina there I just packed up with her and we moved on. I hate it when people don't think and just "follow the rules."
June 24, 2015, Last night we met up with Jai, who Tina discovered though a search for computer help some time ago. Just about to turn twenty years old, this young man will go far. He has intelligence, skills and wants to help people. Tina thought she had deleted all her photos, but right away Jai found where they were and organized them better.
Yes, Jai can work remotely. If you are in need of any computer help, he can assist. Write to Jai at — email@example.com.
June 26, last night we had a splendid evening with some of Tina's friends, and her daughter, at an Italian restaurant. What a great time everyone had, yet, I believe, that group of people will never be together again as it was. Only the memory will live on. That occurs so often as we go through life, instances that will never come again. We are the memories we make and we must remember all the good.
We have not left yet because Tina has a few more things to clear up, appointments and such. Sunday looks to be the day; I will let you know, of course.
Have you seen? Here is Tina – tinamiller.com
June 28—We got together with 4 or Tina's 6 kids, kind of a going away party. I am excited to say that departure time will be tomorrow.
You may know, I have driven round trip across the country 19 times, usually by myself. I am happy it is not a solo trip this time;
Tina and I will have fun.
Wanting to get these words to you, I will be posting now, another will come soon.
Miss you>>>>>>>>>>>KitJune 28, 2015
See the now in your life.Many of us have all gone through a traumatic event in our lives, such as my twice being hit by two different trucks and going through a 37 day coma. Even if you haven't had a major change, these words can help you live a better life.At a young age, I realized that I had a hard time focusing on–the weeks, the months, the years–the upcoming. I'm not denying that the future exists, I just don't live there. I've come to the conclusion that we must live life for now, then it will add up to a fantastic future, then, of course, it will bring a fabulous past.No matter how your life currently is, you can always see and make a better life for yourself. Instead of focusing on what you can't do, see what you can do and do your very best at each. All of these "bests" will add together to make your life much better.After my life-changes I have lost so much, but there is so much left to bring a good life. It's amazing all the different directions your future can take. Start now to direct your own future in a direction that will bring you joy, and do it in a passionate way. Remember, people are here to help, but each of us are ones who make our own life good (or bad.)I decided that I'd get up every morning with a smile because another day of life has arrived. Then, once I am going, to focus on living my life fully that day, each day, not worrying about the future or the past.You see, a good life is made up of a "series" of good days. I live my life in the day–everyday. We only have one chance to live this life. No matter what might have happened in your life, you can still find fulfillment.Each of us has that choice.Start today to make the right choices.Do good, I care about you.June 28, 2015
Blog 5–Just the beginning
When I sit down to write a new set of words for you, I think for a moment—what I will write that will interest anyone? Once I do start, my mind clicks on and words flow. Here are more words for you to comprehend and ponder.
June 19, 2015, Tina and I spent the night last night at another Walmart, many others were spending the night there too, I could tell, in their sleeping vehicles. As usual, I woke before Tina (3:30am this time) and I knew that Walmart provided free wifi, so in I went.
I must say, people are starting to bug me–much. When inside Walmart to use their free wifi, once again I passed many people–all in their own little world, not looking up, not smiling, and not saying "hi".
Then we took a long walk in a short park, http://www.allentownpa.gov/Portals/0/files/Parks_Recreation/maps/TrexlerPark.pdf.
Even in this nice park setting, only one person acknowledged us in a friendly way. We did see two squirrels and two rabbit babies. Also, there was a fawn running around looking for his mother. He got within ten feet of us, crying a fawn cry, it was sad. There are roads all around the park and I hope he does not get hit before mom finds him.
Am I invisible?
Next we went to Wegmans to use their free wifi and sit in the air conditioning (starting to get hot out there.) I would think that a healthy place like Wegmans would have friendly people who might say hi, only two did out of many.
I do not understand.
To me, friendliness and joy are much more important than "things", or my personal goings on. Seems that so very many people in this world are very self-contained and are not open to others, which will make life so much harder for many.
I hope you are not one of these unfriendly people.
On a different matter, I've been watching videos on YouTube about Jade Helm 15 and the massive buildup of military throughout the country. Look up videos on YouTube from Dahboo 7, he has some very well researched words and communicates them quite well.
Upcoming sounds like it could be a massive kill-off and/or imprisonment of many thousands (millions?) of people—be careful out there. That is one of the reasons I wanted us to own and van and travel. Not running away, but being able to travel to where it is currently safe.
There is change coming up in this world, we must ALL be careful.
Do not go along with the tyranny, with the government. We are told that there are terrorists all around the world who are against the US, but, it is the US who is the biggest terrorist in the world.
Yet, I am not completely educated on the upcoming changes in the world. You much study and learn for yourself, as I continue to. Be careful, my friend, I love you and want the best for you.
A short blog is this one, more later. Make your life good, bye for now.
I care about you>>>>>>>>>>>>KitJune 22, 2015
Life is great!
Trying at type something daily in this for your read, but I will be posting my words just once or twice a week, not wanting to inundate you.
With these words I want to inspire you, to help you to live a better life. When you want to read past blog entrees, remember you can always go to: http://kitsummers.com/blog/
What a wonderful trip is ahead. I am enjoying writing to you, yet, if you no longer want to receive, let me know and I will take you off the list.
Walmart provides free parking for campers and people who want to stay somewhere for the night in their vehicle. This is a scary corporation, but nice of them to allow people to stay the night in their parking lot.
We have stayed at a couple Walmarts so far.
The employees and people who frequent the store are a "different" set. But, we have all been customers at Walmart at one time or another. When I walk through the store I pass many people. Very few make eye contact, say "hi", or are friendly.
People are so self-contained, it's scary. As I walk around the store everyone is in their own little world, not friendly with anyone. I am just not seeing that in others in this store and much in the public, too. I am just not sensing any friendliness in so many people.
I try to be friendly and connect with everyone I can in a sociable way. I think that if everyone did this the world will be a better place. How about you? Which side are you on?
I do hope you are not one of these Walmart—people.
At least it is somewhere to park for the night, yes? But, I must say, I mentioned before that Tina gave her notice to quit and is finishing up this week before we start on the road. Get this, she works at—yes—Walmart! She works in the back doing the accounting and control of merchandise. She likes what she does, but says that the political structure of this company is awful and higher ups are often unpleasant people. A few nights ago we stayed at a Walmart that had free wifi, a good thing.
You are wondering about connecting to the internet while traveling, yes? All McDonald's have free wifi, as well and numerous locations all around the US (US—those letters remind me of something I just read. Many people call the United States "America", but it is not. There is South America and Central America, too, don't forget they are "America" as well. Or, as Dorothy calls our country, Amerikka, this dangerous country we reside in.) And, right now we are eating dinner at a place called "Wingman", free wifi here. Starting to be more and more places everywhere with free wifi, a good thing.
Today I am off to Planet Fitness for a workout and a shower. Yes, that is just one way we keep from smelling too human. With my insurance the cost is only $10 a month and I can bring a guest (Tina!) each time for free. Nice to get a good workout in while on the road and a good shower at PF for only $5 each a month. There are PF gyms all around the US and most are open 24/7, so we can always be in shape and showered (how about you, are you in shape and showered?)
Also for showering, Tina sent away and we received a showerhead and hose that hooks up to any sink. So, we can also shower in the family/handicap single person restroom anywhere. Eventually I will have a water container, water pump and shower head to use in the back of the van with the doors open. So, there is that way, too.
After a night at that Walmart, the next day was spent at another park. Nature is so fantastic; I like to spend as much time in nature as I can. You will read many more words of our wilderness experiences. More and more to the out of doors we go.
Let me tell you of some aspects of the van we live and travel in. I built a seat that is six feet in length. The top lifts by way of hinges and there is storage under. On the other side is a shorter version of the same, and I put in a mechanism that makes it into a tabletop that lifts so that we can sit on the other side and work or have meals on the tabletop.
The back rest for the seat lifts out to be placed between the seating/table area to make a full size bed. We have a memory foam mattress that is used for seating/backrest, and then this is then laid out to turn into our bed. This memory foam is very comfortable as a seat or a bed; we sleep well.
The kitchen area is in the back of the van. This can be accessed from the inside or the outside with the doors open wide (when you are using it from the outside.) As the doors are open, I installed a tabletop on each door that folds down to use in cooking. Cooking utensils and cookware are mounted on the doors and backside of the van. I had mentioned about having a water tank and pump for the shower water, this same nozzle will be used at the sink in the back for kitchen water.
You can walk from the front driving/seating area to the back easily. There is storage in each bed, and also in overhead cupboards that came with the van. Being a conversion van, it is a little wider than most vans. There is a skylight on each side, under the skylight I built a shelf that holds a one foot long planter, secured down; there are three.
In these planters we are growing much lettuce, spinach and cilantro. So, a moving vegetable garden travels with us. In the future we will be growing more and other things (the banana tree will look fabulous growing out of the top of the van.)
Solar power will be upcoming, along with a refrigerator and TV. So, all the comforts of any home I can think of. In fact, we are already more comfortable in this than any home we remember. The smaller you can make the "things" in your life, the better life will be, I have found.
I cut covers for each window out of Reflectix. Then, on the other side of each I used spray glue and glued on black cloth on each. The Reflectix reflects sun and heat, so when it is sunny hot that side goes out. Black attracts heat, so in cooler environments we put the black out. When these are on they totally block any light from coming into or going out of the van.
Last evening we were in another park environment, his time with a big salad and bottle of wine to share. By the end of the evening we were both quite happy and feeling good.
Through this I am seeing that each of us can change our life, anytime, into something that we like much better. As you might know, through my life I have had to change my life much, through accidents and various circumstances. If you do not like your life—make a change—make things better for yourself.
Tomorrow is Tina's last day of work, and then we start our life together on the road. Today, once again, I was at a nice park, doing some more work on improving the van. I do hope we pass near you; I would love to see you and let you see our home on wheels. After the park I went to Planet Fitness to put in a good workout. Then I took a shower and I feel quite clean and refreshed right now.
Right now back at a McDonalds using their free wifi. Air conditioned, not many people, quite pleasant. Along with connecting to the internet, I can plug in a charge my electric things.
I am sure you have heard of how scary McDonald's food is. We seldom partake. But, not fair of us, we do get a salad or something at times.
Had a mishap this evening. After picking up Tina from work to take her to an eye doctor appointment, which was soon after she got off. I was about to turn into the parking lot of the eye doc and watching cars coming toward me. I did not see there was a small island, which I drove over. Bounced the van pretty good, in fact, one of the planters with lettuce growing came down to the floor with a crash, yikes.
Tina knew of a carwash place that had a good vacuum, so off we went. It looked a mess, but the cleaning up went rather quickly. So, tomorrow I will replant and this time I will use a double secure system to hold things in so that will not happen again.
In my life, through various traumatic things, I have learned that recovery can be quick, and you can return to something even better than before. I have devised was in my mind to make the van better, and just see, once again, if something bad happens you can make it back—to an even better outlook on life.
I will write you soon again. How about you, will I hear from you?June 17, 2015
The journey begins
Right now I am typing this in the early morning as I am looking out at a beautiful tranquil lake. There are many birds making their morning sounds and the smell in the air is a deep nature smell. There is a mist over parts of the lake as I feel invigorated for this new day. This picture of the lake I see is like from famous painting of lake settings.
Last night, on our way back from Delaware after getting my computer fixed, we went to Marsh Creek State Park to sleep over:
We stopped and picked up a hoagie to share. Sitting on a park bench and eating this simple meal with the view we had was a joy. As we were driving in we saw two deer in a field next to the road getting an evening meal themselves.
Driving to the lake area we passed many houses worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps, millionaire estates? Yet, we got to park "our" home right next to the lake and had a brilliant night in a fantastic location with beauty all around. When you are living and traveling in a van you can park about anywhere to sleep, even at the beach in Malibu, perhaps. So, your home is in fabulous places when and where you want.
Must be about five am and I just awoke from a pleasant sleep to this paradise we are experiencing. Tina is in the van getting some more slumber and I am sitting on a park bench about 30 feet away typing these words; a true–lap-top–with computer on my lap.
Last night when we arrived we were on the east side of the lake. Sunset as the sun was dropping into the lake was breathtaking. We took an evening drive around the lake and found a boat ramp area were we found a nice place to park for the night in the meadow and trees. This morning, being on the other side of the lake, we witnessed the sun arising over the lake, truly a lovely sight to see.
Yesterday was a special day. My daughter, April, graduated high school, with a big ceremony at Villanova University. They say there were upwards of 4,000 people there, many excited people seeing their kids finish high school. Like my daughter Jasmine did and does, both excelled in school and learning. More than just learning facts of life, they learned how to use their mind to think correctly, something so many people do not do.
You can find April on Facebook (she is a beauty), search for April Summers in Media, PA.
Why, looky there, April got to carry the school flag and be on stage during the ceremony with just one other student (can you tell I am the proud daddy?) Of course, there were some boring speeches by school staff, but the two hour program went quickly.
A group of us went for lunch at a very nice restaurant after. For the ceremony, I was sitting between Tina and Mary Ellen (until about 7 years ago Mary Ellen and I had been married for 23 years before we ended things.) It did feel quite strange sitting between those two females that have been and are a big part of my life.
While we were in the mode of selling Tina's very nice home, her daughter happened to need a place to live for her and her son, Eric. She was able to get a loan and moved into Tina's home last week, as we are moving out. They are fitting in quite nicely.
This excursion out to Marsh Creek was a test drive to see how it is to go somewhere nice and sleep in the van; we are going to have a fabulous life on the road. Tina gave her notice to quit last week and her last day is June 18. So, all set to start this new life of living and traveling the US living in this spectacular van that I built into a home.
We are glad we are giving up our home. Just right now the trash collectors and coming by—at two bucks a visit, twice a week. The expenses of living in a home are much—rent or mortgage, taxes, utility bills, miscellaneous upkeep—just to name a few. In the van—the cost of gas to get places and keeping the engine up—and that is all. We have a chance to live a full life, as opposed to simply going to work on a daily basis to pay all the bills.
There will be a big bon voyage and Leah moving in party on June 28 and be off the next day toward Maine and parts unknown. You are welcome to join us; we would love to see you. Please contact me if you can make it.
