Fenner & Esler is not only a top rated engineers and architects insurance company, but we also provide design professionals with the best alternatives for structural engineer employment practice insurance. The majority of structural engineers and structural engineers have some staff, made up of administrators and assistants. In any innovative company, working relationships are frequently close ones, resulting in a blurring of the lines between employer and worker, which in turn may lead to issues in terms of legal liabilities related to the employer position. In order to safeguard the long-term economic viability of the design firm, it is crucial to carry EPLI for structural engineers.
Structural Engineer Insurance
Even in the most closely knit design firms, employment issues can arise, making structural engineer EPLI an investment that's essential. While a complete human resource policy and process can function as the foundation for safeguarding you from liability issues, it is not enough when a lawsuit occurs. Going to court is an expensive procedure even when you win the case. If an employee brings allegations of wrongdoing in the workplace (wrongful disciplinary measures, wrongful termination, discrimination or harassment, for example) a buffer zone may be needed to avoid the cost of the litigation from affecting the company negatively. Up to the optimum limit of indebtedness, an appropriate structural engineers employment practice insurance product can provide structural engineers and structural engineers and creative experts with protection to manage the expense of defending a lawsuit; it can also protect any costs incurred in settling the suit.
Structural Engineers Insurance Company
If you ask an insurance company to provide you with structural engineer EPLI, they'll first ask to get a copy of all internal documents concerning your human resource procedures. If the firm operates with an independent structural engineers or structural engineers insurance brokerage who specializes in structural engineers employment practice insurance, the agent can ensure that policy and procedure manual has the info that is needed by the insurance companies. An insurance market expert with experience in presenting applications can assist design professionals to comply more closely with the requirements of insurance companies, garnering the best rates available. Moreover, the insurance broker additionally acts as somebody in risk management by providing assistance when difficult situations with employees come up.
Structural Engineer Insurance Companies
Our policies for architect & structural engineers insurance coverage operate on a claims-made basis; for this reason, it's imperative that coverage is maintained always, or else the company may not be insured. While some carriers provide a rider for retroactive coverage, it can be more costly. The considerable experience we have at Fenner & Esler as an experienced a&e insurance company will work to your advantage because this process can easily be overwhelming for someone who is just getting started.
Architects & Engineers Insurance
Fenner & Esler architect & structural engineers insurance coverage specialists are experts in the area and can find an insurance answer with an A rated carrier who is personalized just for you in Washington State, ensuring that the stability of your company is always assured.
Structural Engineers Insurance
Serving design professionals as a top architects & engineers insurance company since 1923, Fenner & Esler can provide you with a variety of effective choices. We are an independent brokerage. This means that unlike larger structural engineer and structural engineer we can customize a plan which will suit your exact needs.

This powerful film takes on the issue of America's wild horses. Currently, 50,000 wild horses are in government holding facilities in the United States awaiting adoption. Many will languish there, largely because of their reputation for being unpredictable.
After taking mustangs on a pack trip and watching them outperform their domestic counterparts, Ben Masters, a young Texas horseman, wanted to prove the worth of wild horses and raise awareness about their plight. He gathered three of his best friends and hatched an outrageous plan to adopt, train and ride wild horses 3,000 miles from the Mexican border to Canada through some of the American West's wildest terrain.
What ensues is an epic journey of self-discovery, friendship and big landscapes that entails runaway horses, perilous mountain passes, debilitating injuries, booming thunderstorms, personal clashes, rodeo rides, sweeping vistas and one sassy donkey.
Expertly woven with gorgeous cinematography, interviews with wild horse experts and just the right dose of levity, Unbranded is a soaring tale of resilience and adventure that will make you laugh, cry and develop a newfound deference for these emblematic Western creatures.
Directed by: Phillip Baribeau

A couple weeks ago, McDonald's filed a U.S. federal trademark registration for "McCruncher," reports Scott Hume at Burger Business.
It shouldn't be much of a surprise, because the "crunchy" buzzword is becoming increasingly present in the world of fast food menu items.
Apparently, consumers love it.
In 2009, there were only 69 items with "crunchy" in it on fast food menus, compared to 96 in 2012.
There has been a similar rise at the casual dining chains, while fast casual restaurants have shied away from it.

10 PLG beauty favorites under $10
We get a lot of questions here at the PLG about our favorite bargains so we decided that today we would share our favorite tried and true beauty products under $10. These are all products we use on a regular basis (if not daily) and are all major steals. We love them, we love you, so let's get it on!
Nexxus Pro-Mend Split End Binding Leave-In Crème
// With the curse of fine hair, most products make my hair feel weighed down or greasy and my hair breaks so easily. This product has minimized my split ends for reals without making it feel gross. I looooove it.
L'Oreal Volumious Million Lashes
// This mascara! I get asked all. the. time. if my lashes are real. They are! It's just this magic mascara!
e.l.f. Eyelid Primer
// Don't apply eyeshadow without this miracle. Your shadow won't be able to move a muscle with this under it. Plus, it's $2. If you don't have this in your makeup arsenal you aren't doing it right.
Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream
// I have never been one to wear much skin makeup because I hate how it feels, but this BB Cream evens out my skin tone while keeping oil under control and without feeling heavy, and it's my best friend.
Frankinscence Pure Essential Oil
// This one is a new find and I am obsessed. I use it as a spot treatment on acne, but it also heals scars, reduces anxiety, and minimizes pain.
Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow
// This shadow is a dream! You can get it in a bunch of fab colors with matte or shimmer, it stays put all day long, and you can even use the lighter colors as a primer.
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
// One of my best girlfriends introduced me to this stuff and it is legit. I usually like to do my own gel nails but it's a time commitment every time I need my nails done. So, when I am in a hurry and need my nails done quick, I slap on some regular polish and this topcoat and my nails dry at the speed of light and last longer than any topcoat I have ever seen.
Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner
// We both have been religious users of this liner for years now and can't live without it. It stays put all day and the applicator is so easy to get a smooth line. Perfect for the cat-eye challenged (me).
TanWise Sunless Tanner
// This is the best affordable sunless tanner I have ever EVER used. Natural deep color, no icky smell, and foolproof to apply.
NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder
// Brows are the big thing these days, and this is the best product I have found to fill mine. Blends perfectly, easy to apply, looks natural... it's a must have!

It figures he would make this observation during the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, an event which entailed absolutely no possibility for fun for anyone.
Indirect tiara tip to JJV who normally would not countenance making sport of the Holy Father. Better hit that second collection hard this weekend.

The Town & Country Optimist Club (T&C Sports – Austin, TX) has opened 2020 pre-season Youth Camp & Spring season Flag Football registration. The camp will be held February 22nd & the Spring season begins the week of March 2nd. T&C Sports flag football program is located in Northwest Austin, TX; part of a 95-acre sports complex between Cedar Park and Round Rock, TX. The flag football program is open to both boys and girls. Ages for the pre-season camp/clinic and the Spring season are 1st grade through 7th grade. The Preseason camp/clinic is will be held from 1pm-5pm. All regular season games for the Spring season start the week of March 23rd. Teams usually practice once or twice per week for 60-90 minutes with each team's volunteer head coach coordinating practice times with team parents. Games are expected to be played under the lights on Friday nights starting at either 6:30 or 7:45 pm or Saturday mornings with games beginning as early as 9am.
T & C Sports / Football President, Sebronzik Wright (Coach Z), said that "T&C Sports is building an exciting, family-friendly Flag Football program. We just finished a very successful Fall Season and we anticipate an even larger turnout for the Spring season." He went on to say that T&C Sports is offering a discount for those kids who attend both the pre-season camp and participate in the Spring season. Friend and coach requests are honored when possible and coaches are allowed to bring a whole team to participate. "One of the goals for our flag football league is for kids to get to play with friends, as well as to meet new friends to deliver a memorable experience for our Central Texas football community ", said Coach Z.
Those interested in learning more about the T&C Sports Flag Football Program and to register can use this link: https://www.tandcsports.org/tcfootball
The Town & Country Optimist Club (T&C Sports) is a non-profit organization formed in 1974 by a group of North Austin parents to offer youth sports. The Club promotes the ideals of Optimist International and supports the North Austin area by providing quality youth sports facilities and programs. Club goals are to provide opportunities for all who wish to participate and to promote an environment of learning and sportsmanship in all activities. The Club also supports youth development through involvement in selected youth-oriented community activities.
With the continuation of the NFL Flag Football program hosted by T&C Sports this season, it is a great responsibility to organize the practices and games that your child plays with T&C Sports. We appreciate the opportunity to help reveal to kids the joy of competitive sports.
We just opened the Fall NFL Flag Football registration along with two new summer flag football camps only a few weeks ago and already the response has been great.
With our expanded Pee Wee level program, it seems that parents and kids are appreciating the fun of NFL Flag Football and recognizing it as a great way to develop some of the basic athletic skills that will carry into their later years.
If you are exploring your options for this Fall season, give flag football a careful consideration. It is much more different than the flag football games that you may have played when you were a kid.
We strive to provide a foundation that gives children the option to play football with the same fitness and competitive benefits of tackle football, but with less risk of injury. This program allows parents to wait until later in a child's physical grow cycle before introducing them to the much more intense demands of tackle football while still teaching the game of football.
Along with the physical benefits of playing a sport like flag football, there are a number of character-building benefits for children.
Youth flag football is a great team sport. Kids have the chance to play, work and interact with other children, teaching them skills to work together. Teamwork is a big aspect of flag football as kids learn how important it is to cooperate with others and work towards a common goal.
Along with teamwork, our T&C Sports coaches will teach your child the importance of practice. As coaches work on fundamentals to help your child learn the game, players discover that practice is an important part to playing a sport, and that without practice, improvement in any skill can be difficult.
Playing a youth sport such as flag football teaches your child how to compete, as an individual and also as a member of a team. Working hard on the playing field provides learning lessons that can go beyond sports.
Flag football is also a great way for children to develop social skills. By being a part of a team, children learn how to communicate and work well with others. They will learn how to take initiative and lead, but then they also learn when it is their turn to sit back and follow. The social skills kids gain by learning how to play with other children from different backgrounds is priceless and will continue to be an asset to them as they grow older.
Most importantly, playing flag football with T&C Sports teaches your child the value of being a good sport and behaving with integrity, respect and humility, regardless of winning or losing. Being positive and shaking hands with teammates, referees and opponents instills valuable lessons in your child.
Character building and social skills are certainly major benefits to flag football participation, but let's not forget that it's also fun and a great way to make new friends! If you want to register your son or daughter for a NFL Flag football program, follow this link to sign up today before Early Registration closes on February 1st!

Wish you were here with us in sunny San Diego for Social Media Marketing World 2018 - the conference.
True confession: we came here a little grudgingly. Two years ago, Jenna and I weren't even on Facebook - and we didn't want to be. We thought social media was mostly a waste of time. We. Were. Wrong.
This conference has absolutely wowed us. Every single talk has focused on community, connection, trust, service. Is that all that happens on social media? Of course not. But it's the best of what can happen on social media - and it's exactly what nonprofits do best.
We've also learned endless tools and approaches that can help nonprofits maximize their reach, build their following and boost fundraising.
We are listening to, watching and reading these amazing social media gurus:
Solis shared a Rumi quote we loved:
"Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder."
Kawasaki shared this quote from Elie Wiesel:
"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
We've heard these words (words so familiar to the nonprofit world!) in almost every single session over these last 3 days:
Social media, just like fundraising, is all about genuine, authentic human connection.
Our challenge to you next week:
That's #generouschange.
-Nancy & Jenna
Share your email and we'll send you good stuff. Only good stuff. No bad stuff.

Caprese Chicken
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Basil pesto (Store-bought is fine.)
4 slices low-sodium fresh mozzarella cheese (About ¼ to ½ inch in thickness each)
4 thick slices of ripe tomatoes
Balsamic glaze or balsamic reduction, about 2 to 3 tablespoons (recipe follows)
8 Fresh basil leaves (leave 4 whole and slice the rest into ribbons)
Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper
Heat an indoor griddle or pan over high heat. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to coat bottom of pan. Add chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until done.
At the last couple minutes or so of cooking, top each piece of chicken with a bit of the basil pesto, then add mozzarella slice on top.
Remove the chicken from heat and place on plates. Add fresh basil leaves and tomato slices on top, spoon a little balsamic glaze on top. Finally, sprinkle fresh basil ribbons.
Balsamic Glaze:
Pour 1 cup balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar thickens and is reduced to about ¼ cup (20 to 25 minutes.) Set aside to cool for 10 minutes; it will continue to thicken.

I can go into almost any business and release thousands of dollars of revenue and product or service sales, literally overnight. How am i going to do this because I utilize 'The Acres Of Diamonds Principle' that many business possesses. I uncovered Russell Conwell's 'The Miles Of Diamonds Principle' in unison obtaining degrees at Temple University and Temple College School Of Law in Philadelphia, PA as the storyplot was repeated many today.
What is the 'Acres Of Diamonds Principle' I hear you ask? When I heard the story for the first time it resonated with yours truly. It is one of the very most powerful unforgettable stories along with impacted my life immensely. One of the most interesting Americans who lived inside the 19th century was a man known Russell Herman Conwell. He came into this world in 1843 and were living until 1925. He had been a lawyer for about fifteen years until he became a clergyman.
One day, a young man went around to him and told him he wanted fe college but couldn't swing it financially. Dr. Conwell certain, at that moment, what his aim in life was, besides being the victim of cloth -that is one challenge. He decided to the recognized university for unfortunate, in any event deserving students. He did food challenge, however. He need to consider a few million dollars to position the university. For Haul-in. Conwell, and anyone via a real purpose in partnership, nothing could stand with respect to his goal.
Several years before incident, Dr. Conwell was tremendously seeking to a true story - will be ageless moral. The story was ready a farmer who utilized Africa and through friends became tremendously excited about in order to diamonds.
Diamonds were already contained in abundance on photography equipment and this farmer got a bit of so excited about thinking about millions of dollars they sold his farm to head out to the diamond insert. He wandered all all through continent, as the many decades slipped by, constantly looking diamonds, and wealth, that she never found. Eventually he went totally broke and threw himself to find a river and drowned.
Meanwhile, the new owner of his farm sold on an unusual looking rock about the capacity of a country egg and use it his mantle out of curiosity. A visitor stopped by as well as in viewing the rock practically went into terminal convulsions. He told fresh owner of the farm the moment funny looking rock in their mantle was about the primary diamond that had lots of people found. The new who owns the farm said, "Heck, the sum farm is covered when it comes to them" - and that is correct it was.
The farm turned out to the Kimberly Diamond Ours... the richest the world has ever known. The original farmer was literally through to an 'Acres of Diamonds' until he sold his farm. Dr. Conwell learned from the story of the farmer and continued to teach its' moral. Each of us is right in the course of our own 'Acre of Diamonds' only when we would realize it and maintain ground we are landing on before charging off in the market for greener pastures.
Dr. Conwell told everything many times and taken enormous audiences. He told the story long enough to have raised the money to start the faculty for underprivileged deserving trainees. In fact, he raised nearly six million dollars and also university he founded, Temple University in Philadelphia, has up to ten degree granting colleges

Car Title Loans in Florence, Arizona
With a car title loan, you will be able to get an amount of money equal or less than the value of your current vehicle, in exchange for the title. You will typically have about a month to pay it off, and once you do, your car title will be returned to you, no questions asked. Using your car title as collateral for a loan is a great idea because it still allows you to drive and use your car until you pay the loan off, which would be impossible if you were doing a different type of loan.

Sarah Opendi, the state minister for health in charge of general duties, said during their market surveillance, they traced some of the counterfeit vaccines to Kumate Diagnostics Ltd Kampala and Forever Green Enterprises in Old Kampala.

KAMPALA - The Ministry of Health and National Drug Authority (NDA) are investigating two companies over the supply of the suspected fake hepatitis B vaccines to private health facilities around the country.
However, the health ministry says the vaccines could actually have been genuine, but stolen from government health facilities and the labels changed by unscrupulous people.
While addressing the media, Sunday, at the ministry's boardroom, Sarah Opendi, the state minister for health in charge of general duties, said during their market surveillance, they traced some of the counterfeit vaccines to Kumate Diagnostics Ltd Kampala and Forever Green Enterprises in Old Kampala.
She stated that they had established that Kumate is owned by two laboratory technicians, who are not licensed to supply the vaccines, while Forever Green is non-existent and the name could have been forged by scrupulous people to dupe Ugandans.
The eight health facilities found with the suspicious vaccines bought them from the above companies and other unlicensed dealers with fake addresses on the invoices and receipts.
The clinics where the vaccines were found include Mbarara Community Hospital, Divine Mercy, Mayanja Memorial, Family Doctors Clinic Ntungamo, Mbarara City Clinic, UMC Hospital Bukoto, Malcolm Healthcare Kisaasi and Kampala Medical Chambers on Buganda Road.
The vaccines are currently on supply in the districts of Mbarara, Mbale, Wakiso and Kampala.
UMC Bukoto has come out to say that they were supplied by the Joint Medical Stores (JMS) and do not have fake vaccines.
However, its claim was refuted by the NDA manager central region, Muhammad Lukwago, who told journalists that they had visited the clinic and found the fake vaccines.
Opendi said they trust JMS's statement that they never supplied the clinic.
She added that they even contacted the Serum Institute of India to verify the batch numbers, but they also denied ever supplying the vaccines.
Vaccines might be genuine
Opendi also told journalists that the suspicious vaccines could actually be genuine and only re-labeled by scrupulous people for monetary gains.
"The vaccine could be genuine. From the ones we have in our custody, it seems they just scratched off the word 'government of Uganda. Not for sale'. They could have stolen them from government hospitals and sold to the clinics," Opendi said.
She stated that according to their preliminary investigations, the vaccines are not harmful.
So far three suspects have been arrested over the matter.
Medard Bitekyerezo, the NDA chairman, said they were going to take stringent actions against the health facilities involved.
The ministry has directed NDA to recall the 10ml vial of the vaccine from Serum Institute of India from all private facilities for testing to establish the contents.
Members of the public are advised to receive the vaccines from accredited private and government health facilities. These include Nsambya, Kibuli, Mengo, Rubaga, International Hospital Kampala, Norvik, Case and Nakasero Hospital.
"We shall advise the public on other facilities that have been cleared for Hepatitis B vaccination in two weeks," Opendi said.
The ministry has also suspended vaccination camps for Hepatitis B by private providers until cleared by it and has directed District Health Officers and RDCs to ensure that the directive is complied with.
The accredited suppliers include Biological E represented by Gittoes, Glaxo SmithKline represented by Eris Ltd, Human Biologicals Institute represented by TATA (U), LG Life sciences, Sanofi Pasteur & Pasteur Merieux represented by Laborex, Serum Institute of India represented by Norvik Enterprises and Shantha Biotec represented by Laborex.
Currently, the prevalence of Hepatitis B infection among adults in Uganda stands at 4.3% (5.6% among men and 3.1% among women).

Blac Chyna Pregnant With Rob Kardashian's Baby
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have announced they are expecting a baby, after news of the model's pregnancy was leaked.
The couple who have been dating since January shocked fans and members of the extended Kardashian clan last month they announced that they were engaged after a whirlwind courtship.
"She would have preferred to have announced it on Mother's Day herself," a rep for the model told PEOPLE magazine, "but her hand was forced."
Chyna, who's officially launching her emojis on Tuesday, had wanted to announce the pregnancy in her own time, "But allegedly the other half of her family leaked her story so she had to announce it," says the rep, speaking of the Kardashians. The parents-to-be shared the news within minutes of each other via Instagram, using an emoji of Blac rubbing her baby bump.
Rapper Tyga who is currently dating Rob's half-sister Kylie and has a three-year-old son, King, with Chyna continues to be supportive of Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's relationship. The 26-year-old rapper took to his former fiancee's Instagram on Friday to congratulate her on the news that she and her current fiance are expecting a baby.
Rob and Chyna have yet to comment on the report, while the Kardashian-Jenner clan also remained silent at press time.

Thesis Title
Geography fieldtrips in NZ at Secondary School and undergraduate level in the second half of the 20th Century and beyond.
Ms Stirling's research offers a humanistic study of the practice of geography fieldtrips. Lecturers and teachers were interviewed to understand why fieldtrips are a part of geography courses, how they relate to geographers' theoretical understandings, and what geographers hope to achieve by running fieldtrips. The study considers narratives of fieldtrips, involving the background and memories of those who have run fieldtrips, to elicit values and convictions important to the geographer. It suggests that the meaning of fieldtrips relates to geographers' own approach to the subject, their philosophy of geography. This approach affected the way in which fieldtrips are practised, from a focus on mapping, to foci on gathering statistics, understanding society, and concentrating on matters of difference in society. Four main approaches were identified: classifying, applying general theories, using structures, and deconstructing the world. This work contributes to understanding the role of geography fieldtrips in New Zealand.

After living a full life as a Franciscan Sister of the Poor for 79 years, Sr. Rosalita Losonsky heard the Lord call her name, inviting her to join her heavenly Father for all eternity on July 15, 2011. Sr. Paula Huecker and Sisters from St. Clare Convent prayed with Sr. Rosalita in her room in Mercy Franciscan Terrace for several days prior to her death and kept a twenty-four hour vigil with her from Wednesday evening until her soul was claimed by her Creator about 8 PM, Friday evening. Named Teresa Barbara at her birth on May 7, 1914 in Bronx New York, Teresa was the eldest daughter of Ludmilla Varbel and John Losonsky. When they married, John brought with him his son, Joseph whose mother had died. The loving couple then had four children, John, Rose, Agnes, and Teresa. Tragedy struck the family when Teresa was just four years old. In 1918 there was an epidemic of influenza that claimed the lives of Teresa's parents as well as her brother John and sister Agnes. Two years later, Joseph died as the result of a serious accident.
Too young to care for themselves, Teresa and Rose were taken by their guardian to St. Joseph Hospital in the Bronx to be raised by the Sisters of the Poor of St. Francis as private boarders. They attended St. Pius School where the girls were taught by Dominican Sisters. According to Sr. Rosalita, she had been considering becoming a Dominican when one of the Franciscan Sisters gave her a copy of a book about Mother Frances. After reading the book, "the Lord changed my mind," she said. "On my sixteenth birthday, I felt His presence very vividly and fell in love."
A few months before her eighteenth birthday, Teresa left New York for Cincinnati and entered religious life with the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor at St. Clare Convent on March 15, 1932. When she received the habit, Teresa was given the name Sr. Rosalita. She made her first profession of vows on November 4, 1934. During the time of initial formation, Sr. Rosalita attended high school classes and received her diploma from Our Lady of the Angels in 1936. Sister made her perpetual profession of vows on November 4, 1939.
Sr. Rosalita attended St. Mary School of Nursing in Quincy, IL, to prepare for service in the Congregation's health care ministry. While in Quincy, Sister attended Quincy College taking courses that would transfer to the University of Dayton and a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing in 1953.
Sr. Rosalita was an avid student and her interests were varied. She was particularly determined to be able to communicate in languages used by other members of the Congregation – German, Portuguese, and Italian. As the population of Spanish-speaking people increased in the United States, she took a course in Spanish. As Sr. Rosalita reached the common age for retirement, she took a course on writing your memoirs and two courses in computer awareness.
When asked to share about her favorite ministry, she replied that she found caring for the physical and spiritual needs of her patients most rewarding. One would have to say that she had a passion for evangelizing others. She truly believed that everyone was called by God into an intimate relationship.
When Sr. Rosalita was 53 years old, she volunteered to go to Brazil to help with the ministry there. At first she was told that she was too old to serve effectively in a foreign culture. With determination, Sister presented an argument about others who had been effective ministers in their "elder" years. So off she went to Brazil to serve in a maternity clinic. She spent ten years in Brazil before returning to the USA and continuing in active ministry until she formally retired in 1997. Because Sr. Rosalita and her sister Rose were the only members of their family to survive to adulthood, they were very close even though they lived worlds apart. Sr. Rosalita always looked forward to their infrequent visits especially when she could go to Switzerland to visit Rose and her husband Anton Muff and their three children, Peter, Mary and Michael. It was a special treat when Rose came to the United States.
Sr. Rosalita was small in stature but large in personality. She was fun to be around and a good storyteller. She enjoyed spending time with the other Sisters and was present at Community meetings when her health permitted. She also possessed a wonderful sense of humor. On a form she completed a number of years ago, she gave a priceless answer. The instruction was: Please check (√) the box if you do not wish your obituary circulated: To which she responded: "I'll know better after I see the obituary." Well, dear Sister, what do you think, can we circulate your obituary?
Sr. Rosalita, we miss you already, your joyful presence, your perceptive questions and inquisitive mind. We know you are presenting God with all your unanswered questions. Thank you for the 79 years you committed to serving God as a Franciscan Sister of the Poor and the many people God placed on your path. May your blessings in heaven be great.
Sr. Arleen Bourquin, SFP

Frequently Asked Questions
A standard hail estimate requires 30-45 minutes. During this time, the estimator follows a systematic format of identifying severity and quantity of dents on all panels. In addition, the estimator communicates with you to answer all questions they may have about the repair and obtains all accurate vehicle information.
A clean vehicle allows the estimator to see clearly the damage. Dust and dirt can often mask damage, causing inaccurate estimates and delays in the repair process.
During the estimate process, your estimator and/or The Ding King Hail Squad representative will greet you and will drive the vehicle into the estimating bay. Then, they appraise the vehicle, taking record of the scope of the hail damage as well as the severity and quantity of dents. The estimate is then finalized and reviewed with you. You will be provided with a printed copy of the estimate.
During the hail estimate process, any non-hail damage will be noted. The condition of the car, including this damage, is considered the pre-loss condition of the vehicle. Any damage that is not hail-related will not be covered on the repair.
At the time of the estimate, photos will be taken of the vehicle and any of these conditions will be noted in the estimate.
At the time of your estimate, you will be asked when you would like to schedule your vehicle for repairs. During an average hail storm, thousands of vehicles sustain damages, thus, it may be a few weeks before your scheduled appointment. Depending on the severity of your vehicle's hail damage,The Ding King Hail Squad can provide two types of repairs on your vehicle. The first is to completely repair your vehicle utilizing theThe Ding King Hail Squad Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) process. This normally takes a few days from the time of drop off, to the time of pickup to complete. The second involves the use of both the PDR process and conventional body shop repairs. This process is referred to as a Combination Repair. The time frame for this type of repair will vary from several days to longer depending on the severity of damage.
The Ding King Hail Squad will work with you to determine the appropriate repair time following your estimate. If you are uncertain of your availability at the time of the estimate,The Ding King Hail Squad can have a Customer Service Representative follow up with you in the next 48 hours to schedule the repair, or you can schedule your repair through the Customer Care Center by calling 1-800-.
Supplements are additional operations or parts necessary to complete the repair of the vehicle that go beyond the original estimate. In some cases, the original estimate is insufficient to perform the repairs. When a vehicle is dropped off for repairs, a second inspection is done to determine if all of the damage was documented for repair. If all damage was found and written on the original estimate, no supplement is needed. However, if some damage was overlooked on the original estimate, a "supplement" is needed to document the necessary operations or parts needed to properly repair the vehicle.
If a supplement is required, it may extend the time period needed to repair your vehicle. The supplement will be explained to the customer along with an adjusted pick up date.
Paintless Dent Repair is a specialized and meticulous process for returning dents to their original shape without having to paint any part of the vehicle.
The main process for PDR requires the technician to push and massage each dent in a very technical and precise manner. To do this, each dent is worked back to its original shape using different metal rods varying in size and shape. The dents are worked from the underside of the metal using access points on each panel. It is a very specialized and meticulous process that requires the finished metal to look like it came from the original factory.
Conventional body repair often replaces the panels on a car or truck and requires painting to match the factory finish. In some cases, hail damage is so severe that conventional body shop methods are necessary to repair certain panels. If there are too many dents or too many large dents, a panel may not be able to be repaired with PDR.
R&I is an acronym that stands for Remove and Install. When a car starts the repair process, an R&I technician loosens, and sometimes removes, the interior panels and parts to allow access to the underside of the metal panel. When the PDR repairs get completed, this technician replaces the parts and re-installs the interior panels (like the headliner and hood liner).The Ding King Hail Squad has a Quality Control Process to ensure that all parts are replaced properly so that your vehicle is returned to you in the same condition as we received it.
Definitions For Potential Modal Pop Ups
- Pre-loss condition – The condition of a vehicle prior to hail damage including damage not caused by the hail storm.
- Supplement – Additional operations, parts or repair needs necessary to complete the repair of the vehicle above the original estimate.
- PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) – A specialized and meticulous process returning dents to their original shape without having to replace or repair the metal surface.
- Conventional body repair – Using traditional body shop actions to replace or repair metal panels.
- R&I – An acronym that stands for "remove and install."
If you are waiting until the sky is falling to take a look at your insurance policy, you've made a big mistake. When you take a look at your policy, you are going to want to figure out what's covered, how much the deductibles will be, if you've got rental coverage, and what you need to do whenever the storm hits.
Complete coverage protects against most damage from natural disasters. Two additional options to consider are gap coverage – which pays the difference between what you owe on your loan and what your automobile is worth — and rental compensation.
One warning – if you submitted a previous damage claim and got a check from your insurer, but didn't have your vehicle repaired – the insurance company will subtract this amount from your estimate for the storm damage, and charge an extra deductible, too.
When you know that a storm is on the way, get your vehicle to higher ground or under cover. For hail storms, cover your automobile in an old blanket and a car cover from your local automotive retailer – prior to when the storm hits. This will give you some protection for your hood, roof, and rear decklid. If a violent storm shows up quickly, try to find an awning at a gas station, the drive-through at the bank or self-serve car wash to get under for immediate protection. On the highway, look for cover beneath a bridge or viaduct.

I remember as a young boy watching the movie The Three Stooges Meet Hercules, and pretty much I bought into the whole story. An inventor's time machine took Moe, Larry and Curly back into ancient Greece where they endured harrowing adventures. You can google the film to see a trailer, but constantly look over your shoulder to be sure nobody is watching you. I just did and I was promised that the movie is an "Entertainment of a Lafftime," and it actually is. Anyway, I think if I could get into a time machine and go back into history, I would go back to ancient Greece and hang out with old Aristotle and his plant-wise sidekick Theophrastus. The mixture of their empirically-minded brains, combined with the culture's lucid imagination of gods, goddesses, flying horses, woodland and sea nymphs etc., all give a lively perspective on plants and their origins. Although world events existed and were recorded prior to the Greeks, the Grecian prism through which life was understood and explained is what I find absolutely fascinating.
The Panax genus belongs to the Araliaceae (or ivy) family, with Panax ginseng being the well-known Asian ginseng. Linnaeus coined the genus name which means "all-healing" in Greek because he was aware of its use in Chinese medicine. Panax shares the same origin as the word panacea and in Greek mythology Panakeia* (daughter of Asclepius and Epione) was a goddess of "universal remedy." She had four sisters: Hygeia was the goddess of health, cleanliness and sanitation; Laso the goddess of recuperation from illness; Aceso the goddess of the healing process; and Aglaia the goddess of beauty, magnificence and adornment, and of course the latter would be my preferred goddess.
*Panakeia is mentioned in the opening of the Hippocratic Oath: I swear, calling upon Apollo the physician and Asclepius [Greek god of medicine], Hygeia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses as witnesses, that I will fulfill this oath and this contract according to my ability and judgement..." A translation of the entire oath appears at the end of this blog, if you care.
|Panax ginseng
Back to Panax ginseng, I don't grow the plant, nor have I ever knowingly used it as medicine or for pleasure. Chinese ginseng (or jin-sim) is the root of the plant which is characteristically forked, resembling a person's legs. I was in Beijing in the 1980's, just a few years before the Tiananmen Square affair, and we wandered into a dusty little herb shop which also featured a white-coated "doctor" sitting on a low chair dispensing advice (I guess). I was with a plant-hunting group and we all noticed jars of ginseng on the shelf and the listed prices ranged from a lot of money to an unbelievable lot of money – up to the equivalent of $17,000 for just one root. Our Chinese interpreters explained that the shape of the root was the deciding factor in its cost. We marveled at such expense and asked, "who in China could afford $17,000?" Our interpreters exchanged furtive glances, grinned and shrugged their shoulders. Remember that in the 1980's China had not yet blossomed economically, so who had $17,000?
Pseudopanax crassifolius
While I don't grow Panax, I do grow a large specimen of Pseudopanax crassifolius, an endemic to New Zealand, but I must keep it protected in a warm greenhouse. I am clueless as why the genus is so-named because it certainly does not resemble Panax, though both are in the Araliaceae family. P. crassifolius is commonly known as "lancewood," but the narrow sword-like evergreen leaves occur only when the tree is relatively young. As the plant matures the leaves change from simple to compound*, with a totally different appearance. One theory is that the fierce leaves on young plants serves to protect it against browsing by the moa, the large flightless bird from prehistoric times. As you can see from the side photo, my daughter liked to play "wicked fingernails" with the leaves, while I worried that she'd poke her little sister in the eye.
*Changing leaves is known as "heteroblastic."
Paeonia lutea ludlowii
Paeonia mlokosewitschii
A couple of weeks ago we hosted the American Peony (Paeonia) Society, a group of people who, if they indulge in that genus, also most likely enjoy other plants such as our maples, ginkgoes, conifers etc. The Flora Wonder Arboretum hosts a small number of Paeonia species and hybrid cultivars with two of my favorites being P. mlokosewitschii and P. lutea ludlowii.
The common name Peony is from Greek paionia – yep, lots of vowels – and that from Paeion, the "Physician of the Gods," its reputed discoverer.* He was closely associated with Asclepius, both of whom were invoked as Paian (Healer). Hymns were chanted to Apollo to ward off evil and were also sung before or during a battle. The names vary in their spelling, and the gods themselves are shifty; for example the name Paean is sometimes the alternative name of Apollo. In the Odyssey, Homer says about the land of Egypt: There the earth, the giver of grain, bears the greatest store of drugs, many that are healing when mixed, and many that are baneful; there every man is a physician, wise above human kind; for they are the race of Paeeon.
*However it was the Greek Theophrastus who first gave name to the genus.
|Iris species
The iris is the colored portion of the eye, with the pupil in its center. In botany the genus with the same name is a group of plants with showy flowers and sword-shaped leaves, and it was Theophrastus who coined that name too. In Greek mythology Iris was a messenger of the Olympian gods (especially of Hera) which sometimes took the form of a rainbow. From the oldest parts of the Iliad the word is used for both the messenger and the rainbow.
I grow a number of Iris species in the garden, but I'm not really a fan of the big gaudy hybrids with cutsie-poo names like 'Blueberry Parfait', 'Dancing in Pink', 'Mexican Holiday' etc. Sadly my species plants cannot all be identified because 1) I'm not an Iris expert and 2) my crew threw away many of the labels when they cleaned up the leaves in the autumn. The labels were metal and each had an 18" bamboo stake next to the label so they would be easy to find. It was painful to realize that my employees – at least some of them – have no clue to the importance of a plant name for me. I really feel that I deserve a lifetime achievement award for my enormous patience and restraint when dealing with mindless label-losing workers.
Crocus (croci plural) are in the Iris family and the name is from Greek krokos, and that is a word derived from Hebrew karkom, Aramaic kurkama and Arabic kurkum. The word ultimately goes back to the Sanskrit kunkumam which means "saffron." In Greek mythology Krokus was a mortal youth who was unhappy with his love affair with the goddess Smilax, so the gods turned him into the plant that bears his name.
The problem was that Smilax was a nymph, and love always is unfulfilled and tragic when mortal men mess with goddesses. Smilax, for her part, was transformed from a woodland nymph into a brambly vine. Smilax is a genus of about 300 species found in the tropics and subtropics worldwide, and common names included greenbriers, prickly-ivies and catbriers. S. regelii is from Jamaica and is commonly known as "sarsaparilla," which is also a catch-all name for all American species. Anyway it seems as if the mortal youth came out floristically better than poor Smilax.
Saffron croci were used to dye the garments of women of high status, like priestesses, and the preferred color was yellow to deep orange-red. It originated as a sacred flower in Crete and eventually made its way into India, and to this day saffron robes are associated with Buddhist and Hindu priests, monks and nuns. A pottery discovery at Knossos was decorated with an apron-like garment with images of croci blossoms. Worn at the waist they were believed to relieve menstrual cramps, and saffron spice was used medicinally for the same purpose. Besides that, saffron was believed to increase the level of potency in men. A Minoan fresco found at Thera (now Thira) shows women dressed in yellow and orange-red, gathering saffron stigmas* from croci and offering them to a seated goddess or priestess.
*The stigma receives pollen and it is where pollen grain germinates.
A lot of myths exist concerning plants such as crocus. Krokos was a flower-boy who became the lover of the androgynous Hermes. Since Krokos was mortal, rough play between he and Hermes resulted in a mortal wound. Wherever the blood of Krokos fell, a saffron flower grew, the red style* colored the same as his blood. Interestingly the saffron crocus, the "flower-boy," is sterile and cannot produce seeds, and can only reproduce by offsets on the corms. Eventually traders spread it to Europe, India and China where the saffron dye and spice had a greater value than jewels or precious metals. The species (C. cartwrightianus) became the most widespread species in the Ancient World, at least a thousand years before the rise of Athens.
*The style is a narrow upward extension of the ovary, connecting it to the stigma.
*Nemesis: her name was derived from the Greek word "nemo" meaning "dispenser of dues." Happiness and unhappiness were measured out by her, especially with matters of love, and she made sure that happiness was not too frequent or too excessive. Geeze – really a bitch!
By the way the mother of Narcissus was Liriope, and she became pregnant when she was raped by the river-god Cephissus. This time the (Liriope) plant was named for the goddess. It is a low grass-like genus from east and southeast Asia, and it is somewhat like another grass-like genus, Ophiopogon, and both are placed in the Asparagaceae family. The name ophiopogon is derived from Greek ophis for "snake" and pogon for "beard." The Asparagus family includes 114 genera and about 2900 species, the genera which vary from Agave, Beschorneria, Camassia, Chionodoxa (Greek for "glory of the snow"), Dracaena, Hosta, Muscari, Polygonatum, Scilla and more.
It was the Greek Theophrastus who coined the name aspharagos, and so too the name skilla. From there it became Scilla in Latin and was named for a "sea onion," a squill (Urginea maritima). There is a plant also named Urginea maritima in the Hyacinthaceae family, and its name is due to one species coming from Beni Urgin, a place or tribal name in Algeria.
|Pliny the Elder
|Murex mollusk shell
We grow too forms of Cardiocrinum – var. giganteum and var. yunnanense. The word cardio is from Greek kardia for "heart" due to the shape of the leaves. Crinum is the Greek word for "lily," and the genus Cardiocrinum is commonly known as the "giant lily" due to the huge flower stalks. Var. giganteum is the larger form of the two, and is native to Tibet, Bhutan, Assam, Myanmar, Nepal and Sikkim. Var. yunnanense is less tall, usually growing to no more than 8' tall, but its flowers are equally impressive, being white with purple-red streaks inside. The plant was first described by Nathaniel Wallich in 1824 and was introduced into commercial production in England about 30 years later. It was originally described as Lilium giganteum before being moved into its current generic classification, but one must wonder if the two genera, Lilium and Cardiocrinum, would successfully hybridize. Probably not, for I suppose that it would have already been accomplished.
Abies cephalonica is the "Greek fir" and it grows in the mountains of southern Greece, but was first described by those growing on the island of Kefalonia. We grow only one cultivar – 'Meyer's Dwarf' – which forms a dense mound and with shorter needles than the type. Kefalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands in western Greece and was named for the mythological Kephalos, the founding "head" of a great family that includes Odysseus. The word kephalos is Greek for "head." Athenians furthered the myth that Cephalus was married to Procris, a daughter of Erechtheus, an ancient founding-figure of Athens. A lot happened to test their marriage, including Eos – the goddess of dawn – kidnapping Cephalus while he was hunting. Eight years later he was returned and Procris gave him a javelin that never missed its mark. Unfortunately, upon hearing a rustling in the bushes which Cephalus took to be an animal, he actually impaled his beloved wife. He eventually remarried but never forgave himself over the death of Procris, and he committed suicide by leaping into the sea.
Cephalus really should have stayed with Eos, goddess of the dawn (Roman Aurora). Her siblings were Helios (the sun) and Selene (the moon), and each day Eos rose into the sky from the river Okeanos (Oceanus), and with her rays of light she dispersed the mists of night.
When you think about Aglaia, Eos, Cephalus, Panacea, Krokus, Homer with the Iliad and the Odyssey and all the other fantasies of ancient times, we're fortunate that the internet wasn't around then, or we would probably have none of these wonderful stories.
Hippocratic Oath
I swear by Apollo the Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygeia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.
To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the physician's oath, but to nobody else.
I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.
Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.
Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me. - Translation by James Loeb.

How Much Can You Fit in the Volkswagen Atlas?Friday, January 26th, 2018
Learn More About the Volkswagen Atlas
The new 2018 Volkswagen Atlas can comfortably seat 7 passengers , but where's the fun in that? What about fidget spinners? I don't know about you, but it seems a lot more informative to know the answers to these questions:
How many fidget spinners can comfortably fit in an Atlas?
How many VR headsets would fit in an Atlas?
How many smartphones would fit in an Atlas?
How many Bluetooth speakers would fit in an Atlas?
How many dad hats would fit in an Atlas?
How Many Fidget Spinners Can Comfortably Fit in an Atlas?
Fidget spinners were all the rage not long ago, and you may have built up an excess of them. If you need to dump your fidget spinners in the landfill (bury them deep so they don't come back), then you're probably wondering how many can fit in the Atlas. To answer this question, we need to first figure out the interior volume of the 2018 Atlas . The Atlas features an interior cargo volume of 96.8 ft 3 to seat 1. A standard-issue fidget spinner measures in at 0.0023 ft 3 , meaning the Atlas can carry around 42,000 of them. Why you would want to in the first place is – well – that's your business.
How Many VR Headsets Would Fit in an Atlas?
The average VR headset is 0.076 cubic feet, meaning that you could fit around 1,000 of them in your Atlas. Enjoy!
How Many Smartphones Would Fit in an Atlas?
The average smartphone (we won't judge if you go with the non-fruit variety) is 0.0023 cubic feet, which means you could comfortably fit 42,000 or so in your Atlas.
How Many Bluetooth Speakers Would Fit in an Atlas?
You should be able to fit around 20,000 speakers in your Atlas. You might want to wear some ear plugs, though!
How Many Dad Hats Would Fit in an Atlas?
Ok, dad hats don't have the same restrictions since you can fold them and layer them far more effectively than sturdier objects. You could probably fit tens of thousands of dad hats in the Atlas. The limit is your ingenuity for packing dad hats before you head off to the dad convention!

How to Jump Start a CarTuesday, January 9th, 2018
It's an unfortunate situation, but it happens to almost everyone: You're stranded with a car that won't turn on because the battery is dead. Use this guide to figure out how to jump start your car, which will require:
Jumper cables
Another vehicle
A little know-how
Figure out how to jump start your car battery, and count on the team at Volkswagen Santa Monica for a range of automotive tricks and tips .
A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to get your car running and back on the road:
First, make sure the problem is with your car battery. If you turn the key and the engine fails to turn over at all, chances are the issue is a dead battery.
Track down a second vehicle or a portable generator. If you have a portable generator with jumper cables, then you're all set. If not, you'll need to find a working vehicle and take out a set of jumper cables.
Put the two cars nose to nose, then make sure both vehicles are in park. This positioning allows the jumper cables to reach both batteries. If that's not possible, having them side-by-side should be fine as well.
Attach the red clip to your vehicle's positive terminal. The positive terminal is larger and likely has "POS" or "+" on it.
Attach the red clip to other vehicle's positive terminal.
Attach the black clip to other vehicle's negative terminal.
Attach the black clip to an unpainted metal surface on your car that isn't located near the battery.
Turn on the working vehicle and wait a few minutes.
Turn on your vehicle, and try again in a few minutes if it doesn't work right away.
Avoid a Dead Car Battery
You can help diminish the chances of getting a dead battery by bringing your vehicle in for service and having it replaced in a timely manner. Volkswagen Santa Monica has car batteries on hand, and we provide quick, high-quality auto service. In addition, we're happy to help with basic car care and maintenance advice . Come see us at 2440 Santa Monica Boulevard in Santa Monica, CA, or contact us with any questions at (855) 729-5243.

Contact the Law Offices of Ronald E. Sholes for advice and representation on train and railroad cases involving personal injury or wrongful death. Whether it's passengers, crew members or other railroad workers, every railroad accident case is different and time is of the essence. We encourage victims and their families to seek immediate legal representation.
Railroad laws involving injuries aboard passenger trains, cargo trains or other trains, and related vehicles, are not the same as other typical personal injury cases and differ in many ways. There are different rules which apply, including time limits which may affect your rights. Another obvious concern is preservation of critical evidence and putting responsible parties on notice, so that critical evidence is properly preserved. The intricacies of state and federal laws make it even more important that you obtain quality legal representation immediately.
And, unlike many law firms, we don't just settle! We don't simply take what the insurance company wants to pay, but rather we demand and fight for fair and just compensation for your injuries and all of your damages, including your economic and non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering and your loss of enjoyment of life.
Many railroad accidents occur due to negligence. whether it's a mechanical error that puts a railroad worker at risk or the owner/employer's lack of observance and failure to repair the problem before a crewmember or worker gets hurt. Mechanical errors are one of the most common reasons for railroad injuries and death. Fatigued railroad workers are another major cause of accident and injuries. Owners and employers must be held accountable, but often times are simply not. Contract law can play a major role in a railroad injury or wrongful death claim. Remember, responsible parties, like large railroad corporations and their insurance companies, do NOT want to pay damages. Oftentimes these companies attempt to get crew members to "waive" their right to bring a claim under certain circumstances. These companies will attempt to avoid responsibility by compelling arbitration and avoiding a trial by jury.
At the law offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., we take claim preservation and investigation seriously and we work with a wide range of experts in the field of train and railroad law for the following type of claims:
- All injuries and wrongful death
- Unfit for Service Claims against owners and operators
- Negligent Train Operations resulting in injury or death – derailments, collisions with other trains, or other train wrecks
- Train Passengers
- Train Crew Members and Railroad Workers
- Guests and Passengers
- Pedestrians
- Train Contractors and Repairmen
- Rail Yard Workers
If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a train incident, we are here to help. For a free consultation about your rights and help preserving your claim, contact the Florida personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Ronald E. Sholes at 855 WE FIGHT.
That's 855-933-4442.

We understand every element of damages that is recoverable and we strive to maximize our clients' recovery for each and every element available.
As uncommon as it may seem train and railroad accidents happen quite often. Yes even train accidents in Jacksonville. On June 28th, 2015 this very thing happened. A local man, while driving on the 9700 block of West Beaver, was struck by a train and killed. His car was leaving a shopping facility and was hit by a westbound CSX train.

Local Cities Wrestle With Growing Short-term Rental Industry
OSAE Member Joe Savarise shares his organization's perspective
Oakwood and Yellow Springs are among the local communities seeking ways regulate Airbnb and other short-term property rentals that have challenged the traditional hospitality industry.
Supporters say short-term lodging offers affordable options for travelers and helps property owners looking to make extra income, but many communities say the industry threatens affordable housing and poses security issues.
The relationship between Airbnb and other types of transient guest lodging (TGL) with local communities varies widely. Yellow Springs this month approved restrictions on the short-term rentals, Oakwood is in the process of banning them, but Dayton and Fairborn are among the cities without any specific regulations.
