California Stop Notice 2012-2025 Form

Sand is an interesting type of armor. It morphs when hit. However, that morphing power doesn’t work very well when hit by something moving at 400 meters per second (all of that inertia and stuff). Then it acts like, well, a pile of sand. And a pile of sand is actually not that great at stopping things. there are better things, like Kevlar and carbon-fiber sandwiched steel, and even certain plastics. On a pound-for-pound basis, sand is actually not very good.But it is not totally useless. I saw an interesting demo using sand. I was at a gun range and a guy had a garbage can (kitchen trash can) filled with sand. He shot it with a few things - .357, a .30–06, and an AR15. None of these rounds penetrated the sand. He then got a crossbow and shot the can - right through. This was a case of momentum, inertia and expanding bullets versus a small steel point of a bolt. The person doing the demonstration did admit that a armor-piercing .30–06 round would pierce the can because the round would not expand in the sand. As a side note - water also does a pretty good job of dissipating a bullet’s energy. Yet, you wouldn’t want a tank using water for armor.So, what is sand, and sand bags, a good use for? Sand is much cheaper and more readily available than, say, ballistic armor. It makes a great backstop in a shooting range. When properly layered and piled, it can make a good protection for, say, trench warfare. Sand bags are pretty good for stopping some flooding (try doing that with an APV). But as armor for your modern mechanized war machine - not so much.

When I was twelve, my dad died. I have five siblings and we ranged at the time from seven years old to eighteen. The eldest was leaving for college that week, but came back and spent the year at home at my mom's request.Before Dad had been dead a whole month, my mom started sort-of dating a sort-of homeless guy (he had been homeless and then was living in an RV on someone's property as their caretaker) my family had helped before (we volunteered for years prior to this at the local homeless shelter).A month. Our father had died of unexpected of complications from heart attacks just a month prior. We four youngest didn't know what was going on at first and she didn't let our older two siblings know. All we knew was that almost every night mom would have us get in the van, and she'd be in her pajamas and robe, and we'd drive down to his place and she'd send us to go play in the yard while she "said goodnight" and "ministered" to him.Eventually she'd come out with a shit-eating smirk, load us up in the van and drive back home.Less than two months after that she moved him into the house and started claiming they were married to everyone. (They weren't.)Why this was so incredibly selfish was because we weren't allowed to grieve anymore after that. We all had to be happy because mom had a new boyfriend-then-husband, and we all felt like we couldn't even talk about Dad anymore. Mom still talked about him but only to force our good behavior, ie: "You are all such terrible children! Your father wanted you to be raised this way and I've sacrificed so much for you...!" He wasn't even a good stepdad. He could have been worse, sure, but he'd fight with mom then storm out of the house and she'd blame it on us.Less than six months after my dad died he and my mom went on a drive and left me to change a curtain rod. I was still twelve and very small for my age, and I couldn't signNow the curtain rod. I tried, hard, but I kept falling off the back of the couch. They got back and saw that I hadn't done it, so the step-dad kept saying to me "Hah, I knew you were useless." while laughing and repeating it over and over like it was hilarious. I lost my temper and said "You're just a fat old man!" (he was 13 years older than my mom so he seemed quite elderly to me.) He, in front of my mother who had been laughing at his denigration of my handyman attempts, grabbed me, shook me hard, and screamed in my face "You stupid little b***ch!" and stormed out of the house.Mom then spanked me for trying to ruin her marriage.I just wanted my dad back, but I couldn't even say that because what if it made the step-dad feel bad?

I'll answer my own question...I discovered that USPS will actually forward most mail abroad for a limited period of time.  This was difficult to discover as the USPS online form for address change doesn't allow writing in a international address, nor does the physical PS Form 3575 they offer as part of a moving packet.  However I did find the following @ http://faq.usps.com/eCustomer/iq..."How do I file a Change of Address for an International address?If you are moving to an International address outside of the United States, you will need to fill out the same Change of Address (COA) form (PS Form 3575) that is filed for a domestic move at your local Post Office™. If you forget to submit a COA prior to moving to an International address, you can write a letter to your old Post Office in the United States and the Post Office now serving your new international address explaining the situation. Provide direction on how and where you need mail forwarded. The letter should also include as many details asked on the PS Form 3575 (Change of Address Form) as possible."After stopping by the local post office, I was given PS Form 3575 and told to write in the international address - ignoring the fact the fields assumed a US address.I was about to sign up for service from shipito.com, but after many searches I noticed both customer complaints on a number of sites and a "F" rating from the LA BBB.  http://www.la.bbb.org/business-r...For me, if a company doesn't care enough about it's BBB rating to respond and engage with unhappy customers - I don't have much trust they'll provide good customer service otherwise.  As a result, I skipped using shipito for mail forwarding.I've heard of other mail forwarding services like Earth Class Mail, but have yet to try them out... Luckily with the USPS solution above I won't have to.

Strange way to phrase this question, but I’ll bite.The main method of contacting Quora is through the Help Center. Go to your profile, click on “Help Center”, “Contact Us”, then select “General Feedback” from the dropdown menu. Here’s a direct link to make it a bit easier. After this process, you may fill out a text box with your suggestion and submit it to Quora. You’ll get a confirmation email thanking you for your report.Another method is to answer questions tagged with How Could X on Quora Be Improved?. Even if your answer isn’t noticed by moderators, getting your ideas out there would be a good start.Quora Feature Requests Notepad is great for suggesting improvements to features, or suggestions for new features. I have not yet submitted a post to this blog, but I love reading other submissions for suggestions of improvement.You could ask questions concerning the issue, as many users do, but I would advise against this for a few reasons.It could be a bug, and therefore not affecting everyone else. The answers to your question would likely be telling you to fill out the contact form for “Report a Bug”.Bug? or Feature? is a good blog for sharing potential bugs, or debating if something is a bug or a feature.If it is a new feature, there’s likely a question about it already. For example, How do I stop news links from appearing on my Quora feed? has only existed for a few months yet it already has over 80 questions merged into it (and more that should be merged that I found when searching for the question). If you want to suggest to Quora to stop new links from appearing on our feeds, don’t ask a new question about it. Instead, fill out the form in “Contact Us”.

You can rewire your brain!This is possible due to Neuroplasticity.Neuroplasticity refers to changes in neural pathways and synapses which are due to changes in behavior, environment and neural processes, as well as changes resulting from bodily injury To be honest, the brain is a dynamic entity undergoing changes all the time. As you read this innocent sentence, some neurons in your brain have fired and some synapses have become stronger. Voila! Your brain has been rewired a bit. But I am not talking about these sort of 'boring' changes which occur all the time.What if I told you, your actions can physically alter your brain? Some parts become larger than usual while some parts begin performing tasks they normally don't?László Polgár is the father of the famous "Polgár sisters": Judit, Susan and Sofia. He is an expert in chess and believed that "geniuses are made, not born". Before he had any children, he wrote a book entitled Bring Up Genius!, and sought a wife to help him carry out his experiment. He found one in Klara, a schoolteacher. He home-schooled their three daughters, primarily in chess, and all three went on to become strong players. Susan Polgar became the first female to earn the Grandmaster title.Because of her intense training, her brain had encoded chess board configurations and she was able to not only recognize these configurations but also what moves she had to do from there to win. Show her a random chess board setup that is infrequent her brain is just as slow as normal chess players. So what was happening? A scan of her brain activity showed she was using the part of the brain that recognizes faces to identify chess board configurations. This part of the brain is really developed in humans and face recognition is something humans are really good at. The hours of practice she had put in playing and studying chess had radically changed ho she used her brain to play it.Some of you might be thinking that it was because she got her training from childhood that she was able to become an expert and this fact is useless to someone older.Not really. Recent studies have shown although neuroplasticity declines it still can be made use of in older ages.The Sea Gypsies are a seafaring people who spend a great deal of their time in boats off the coast of Myanmar and Thailand, have unusual underwater vision -- twice as good as Europeans. This has enabled Mokens to gather shellfish at great depths without the aid of scuba gear. How do the Moken do this? They constrict their pupils by 22 percent. The brain orders the body to adapt to suite its needs. Another example of neuroplasticity has been found in London taxi drivers. A cab driver's hippocampus -- the part of the brain that holds spatial representation capacity -- is measurably larger than that of a bus driver. [from Neuroplasticity: You Can Teach An Old Brain New Tricks ]As children we have lots of free time and our brain is really quick to grasp new skills and ideas. To make signNow changes to the brain as grown ups one needs to exercise it regularly and focus on really specific tasks like learning to play the guitar or solve spatial puzzles. Because of the constraints of being social and other reasons, people miss out on this. It has been observed that spiritual leaders and prisoners of war have been able to develop extra-cognitive skills simply because of the immense amount of time they put in meditation, mental exercises and thought experiments. Plas­tic­ity can also be observed in the brains of bilin­guals (Mechelli et al., 2004). It looks like learn­ing a sec­ond lan­guage is asso­ci­ated with struc­tural changes in the brain: the left infe­rior pari­etal cor­tex is larger in bilin­gual brains than in mono­lin­gual brains.I'll end with some interesting bits from The Brain that Changes ItselfLearning and brain exercises slow age-related mental declines. For example, education necessitates extra branches among neurons to accommodate the new information; new branching increases the volume and thickness of the brain that would otherwise decline with age.Physical exercise promotes the creation of new neurons in the brain. Yet another reason to start that walking program.Specifically designed brain exercises have been shown to improve brain function in children and adults with learning disabilities.The brain undergoes measurable, physical changes as we think. Computer technology can now use these measurements and changes to allow paralyzed people to moves objects with their thoughts.Researchers at UCSD have used imagination and illusion to restructure brain maps and ‘trick” the brain into managing phantom pain and some forms of chronic pain.Performance can be improved through visualization because action and imagination can activate the same parts of the brain. People have learned to play the piano or achieve greater results in athletic endeavors through mental practice. Is it time to visualize eating a nice salad?[from Neuroplasticity Research Shows “Old Dogs” Can Learn New Tricks!]

I would answer that using two words -”MOUKA” (Opportunities) and “THAPPA” (Seal of approval).But wait! There is more.Apart from obvious reasons of high-pay and opportunities, let me add a few more points, quoting examples of people who actually migrated from India.Who is he? - Venkatraman ramakrishnanWhat did he accomplish? - Awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry for “studies of the structure and function of the ribosome.”What would he be doing had he stayed in India? - Would have probably become a researcher in a central institute, but would never have got his research funded “because he is a chemist and ribosome is a topic of biology.”Who is he? - V S NaipaulWhat did he accomplish? - Awarded Nobel Prize in literature.What would he be doing had he stayed in India? - Struggling to get his work published. Probably also being ridiculed behind the back for claiming that his works far far supersedes those of the Chetan Bhagat.Who is he? - Dr. Har Gobind Khorana:What did he accomplish? - Awarded Nobel Prize in medicine for “Interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis”What would he be doing had he stayed in India? - Probably a professor in one of our universities, checking practical copies and complaining about “the system” for not giving sufficient funds for a project.Who is he? - Amartya SenWhat did he accomplish? - Awarded Nobel Prize in Economics for “his contributions to welfare economics.”What would he be doing had he stayed in India? - Would have made his parents proud for working in a “stable, well-paying government job” as an accountant in a bank.Who is he? - S ChandrasekharWhat did he accomplish? - Awarded Nobel Prize in Physics "For his theoretical studies of the physical processes of importance to the structure and evolution of the stars”What would he be doing had he stayed in India - A professor in a university, perhaps a popular one because he could not only solve each and every numerical but could tell exactly which book it was from, which chapter and even page number.In short, we don’t get the opportunities, the infrastructure and the flexibility in India as compared to west.I never mean any disrespect to any of the laureates or to my country, what I want to say is that there are perhaps hundreds of Amartya Sen and S Chandrasekhar out there, who are forced everyday to kill their dreams and get settled.Once you go to west, you can’t be pressurized to follow the beaten path.You are ENCOURAGED to look at things from a different perspective. And a “stable, secure life” is NOT encouraged. Risk takers are NOT frowned upon.But apart from the obvious I would put one more reason - RECOGNITION.Yes, at times that “THAPPA” from the west creates more impact than all your qualities, your dedication and your good nature put together, even to your closest ones.Remember this man?Of course you do.Did you know him before 2014 when he got that “THAPPA” of Nobel?Wasn’t he working already?Aren’t we supposed to know him because he lives among us ?WhyArre THAPPA yaar THAPPAPerhaps this is why “NRI Ladka” is such a fad among upper middle class fathers looking for bridegrooms for their daughters.Forget Mr. Satyarthi, do you know this man?Whenever I talk to someone about Swami Vivekananda, the first thing people mention is his Chicago Address.Seriously? Among all his contribution to philosophy, the only thing people find worthwhile is an address to Americans.I am sure it was phenomenal, but see, even Swami Vivekananda’s biggest accomplishment is his “THAPPA” from west.Forget even him, remember this man?One of the greatest man to walk on the Earth.Do you know that his methods were unique and he was the one who made our freedom struggle mass-based and not limited to elites.But do you know one of the reasons he was able to gain such a wide popularity in congress ranks, so soon after his return from Africa in 1915, was “his contribution and works in Africa.”I am sure Mahatma Gandhi would have been a great figure even without those credentials. He would have eventually achieved the respect and recognition he deserved.But even for him the “THAPPA” acted as a launch pad, even if it was not from west.Need I say more?Edit 1: BTW this was Saurabh Kumar RoyI am sure you will find my other answers insightful as well.Saurabh Kumar Roy's answer to Why is Narendra Modi making more foreign visits?

Oh man, I definitely have that problem! I suggest something extreme. I disagree with some of the commenters here. Learning new words won't really do anything for your repetitive words habit, because what you need to break is the actual habit. Adding more words won't really help because you're not directly addressing the actual problem.I recommend banning those words from your vocabulary for at least 21 days (that's how long it takes to build a habit apparently). Refraining from using those words will become a mindless habit. It requires a conscious effort not to say them and takes practice at the beginning. Maybe you can tell your friends or whoever you're spending time with to call you out and remind you if you happen to say those words in front of them. If you still want to use those words, try to use them in rare occasions after you've mastered control of their usage.

The employer fails to serve a valid or timely payment notice or pay less notice. The contractor's application becomes a default payment notice under section 110B of the act. The sum within the payment notice becomes the notified sum.

The sum contained in a payment notice is \u201cthe notified sum\u201d. The person who issues the notice is dictated by the contract, and can be either the payer, a \u201cspecified person\u201d as dictated by the contract (i.e. the Architect or Contract Administrator) or by the payee itself.

IdEvally in practice, a payment notice is a document that is issued for every payment provided under the contract in question. It is usually issued by the paying party following the receipt of a payment application by the contractor/supply chain, depending on the particulars and the type of contract.

Where a contractor has made a payment application under a JCT building contract and the architect/contract administrator has not issued an interim certificate (a payment notice), the employer's failure to serve a valid pay less notice will result in the employer being obliged to pay the whole sum stated in the ...
