The Thrust/Three-Quarter Problem
Posted: May 24, 2010 in Braak, Threat Quality

Theater, of course, is not engineering; terminology tends to be a little fuzzy. Sometimes we learn it one way, sometimes we learn it another way. I'm going to lay out my terminology for the difference between a thrust stage and a three-quarter round stage, and we'll see if it makes sense; if not, maybe we can come up with some better identifiers. This is also maybe of interest to reviewers (like Moff, for instance, who might be less familiar with the particular intricacies of staging), so apologies if its more information than required.
Anyway, Mark Cofta has criticized a number of local directors for not fully embracing the kind of stage that they have, and I think that he's absolutely right on the mark with that one — but moreover, I think that the problem that he's seeing is directly related to the confusion over the thrust/three-quarter problem.
So, here it is:
A thrust stage is a particular modification to a proscenium stage, in which the audience arrangement remains largely in tact, but the stage has a piece that now thrusts into their space. This space is used usually for special moments (two people kiss, someone has a solo, maybe there's a fight), but the bulk of the playing space remains back on the proscenium. Because of this, the audience usually maintains the same relationship to the stage: they are pointed forward at the proscenium; when something happens on the thrust, the people on the side have to turn their heads to look.
In a three-quarter round space, the bulk of the playing space is actually in the middle of the audience, and so all of the chairs are pointed inwards at it. There is sometimes a small back-lay — like a very tiny proscenium space, in which you can do some things on — but for the most part all the action occurs here in the middle.
The problem with directing in a three-quarter space (and it's related round-space and alley-space arrangements — anything with crossing sightlines) is when directors mistake it for a thrust space.
Basically, when you work in a thrust space (and your audience is all pointed in the same direction, at the stage) you can block with everyone pointed directly back out — this is classic proscenium staging. When you direct in a three-quarter round space, you can't work the same way at all: you can't have static arrangements, you can't arrange the stage according to pleasing tableaus, and you must have a roughly equal amount of staging playing out to the sides as you do to the front.
This is because, obviously, when the audience is all pointed inwards, actors start getting in each other's way. In order to compensate for this, you've got to keep everyone moving around — the staging looks more like dynamic movements than it looks like composed pictures. Now, usually if the director keeps people moving, plays along the diagonals, and keeps the action "open" (that is, periodically pointing out to the people at the sides), you don't really miss anything: sure, actors stand in front of each other, or cross in front of each other, but it's only for a few seconds, so it doesn't matter. This is especially true in places where three-quarters are best used: small, intimate houses (where a moment's eclipse by another actor is much less noticeable) where the advantages of a three-quarter round space (namely, that it creates a feeling of closeness to the action on stage that is more profound than even a thrust can deliver) are at their peak.
When, as Mark points out, directors don't embrace their audience arrangement, usually what you're seeing is a three-quarter space being treated as a thrust space: all of the action is blocked directly forward, and the only way you're going to get a good view of the show is if you sit in the center, rather than on one of the sides.
Mark Cofta says:
Chris, you explain the distinction between thrust and three-quarter very well, and I will use the terms more specifically from now on. Both directors and producing organizations try to make their three-quarter stages into thrusts, not only with set designs and stagings, but also through ticketing policies.
On a similar topic, how is it that we don't have a single arena or in-the-round space operating in Philadelphia? Sure, some flexible spaces exist; every five years or so, the Arden will do something creative with one of their stages (a highlight for me was the Lookingglass Alice, which put the Haas space in an alleyway — two audience sections facing each other, the playing space between them — configuration). I wonder if the new space at the Adrienne (the former dance studio that InterAct now administrates) is flexible? Hmmm . . .
Lost: Wait, what? [Braak's View]

Schneider Electric Rewards Partners in Northern Nigeria, Unveils New Offerings
By ogrepublic	 Last updated Nov 17, 2021
Oluwaseun Oloyede, Leader – Secure Power, English West Africa
Energy management giant, Schneider Electric Nigeria, has rewarded five of its partners in the northern part of the country with various awards for their outstanding performances.
Retail Partner of the Year 2021 was awarded to Foretec Investment for Highest Volume of Sales in Northern Nigeria, while B2B Reseller of the Year 2021 was awarded to Delawtech Computers for Best Performance in B2B sales.
Similarly, Most Improved Reseller of the Year 2021 was given to Infotech Bridges for Improved engagement; Dare to Disrupt Reseller of the Year 2021 to Viable Solutions for Willing to take on New Releases; while Hero Offer Innovation Award Year 2021 went to Next Contact Technologies for being the First Partner to sell Lithium Ion SRT Online UPS in Nigeria.
Speaking on the event which held in Abuja, Oluwaseun Oloyede, Leader – Secure Power, English West Africa said: "We had a very beautiful event today with our partners in the northern region. We had over 60 partners in attendance; and well attended by business owners, CEOs – very engaging, educative, and very intense.
"The event today was to update our partners on our latest offering, latest portfolios, technologies, range of products, and solution offering that is currently addressing customers need, budget and dealing with the current trend in our society and the world at large."
At the event, critical issues that the partners were facing, peculiar to northern region, were dealt with, thereby creating in the partners the desire to continue to represent the Schneider Electric brand wherever they are.
With the world going digital, there is a significant increase of sensitive electronic systems and devices that would require a guaranteed uptime and a very high protection.
These devices and systems will have to rely on a foundation of regulated nonstop AC or DC power that only an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can provide.
In his presentation on Single Phase Portfolio at the event, Territory Manager – Northern Nigeria, Ado Abubakar, said that energy users have three major power conditions to address. They include, surge inrush – instant damage to electric appliances; voltage volatility – chronic damage to electric appliances, and shortened life span of load equipment; and total blackout – costly down time to business, irretrievable data loss, and instant damage to electric appliance. He noted that these power conditions can be addressed through the use of surge protector, automatic voltage regulator, and UPS.
Noting why surge protection is important, Abubakar, Sales Representative said, "Surges, short-term increases in voltage levels associated with lightning or utility problems, can travel along your utility and data lines damaging your electronic devices and destroying your valuable data."
According to him, even smaller everyday surges can degrade the performance of your electronics and shorten their lifespan, adding that surges can be caused by animals chewing electrical cables, natural causes such as lightning, restoration of AC mains power after a blackout, trees or environmental damage to power lines, and high energy motors in appliances.
On the effect of downtime on business, he said the average business suffers from about 14 hours of IT downtime per year. Citing a survey by CA Technologies, he said small enterprises lose, on average, more than $55,000 in revenue due to IT failures each year.
The Single Phase Portfolio is an APC brand which features UPS of 230V/230V, power ratings of 250VA to 20kVA,connects on 230V plug (<7kVA), decentralized UPS close to the application, plug and play, has minimum of 2 years warranty, and applicable on multiple technologies (VI, VFD, VFI).

*Choose a different event

Consider which event you want to hook. Hooking Worksheet_Calculate is problematic if you are providing something that it needs to then recalculate again - it will just get stuck forever. Perhaps try hooking a different event instead, such as:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

*Use error trapping to your advantage

You have On Error Resume Next which should be removed or commented out while you are troubleshooting, so that it can break on the error and tell you what is going wrong.

*Update syntax to match the event

The variable Target above is not working as intended, as it does not relate to the chosen event Worksheet_Calculate. This will be fixed along the way when looking at #1 above.

$5 Down And $.75 A Week by Bruce Wiseman
When my father was a young man, he stowed away on a tramp steamer to Hawaii.
He was a tough little guy who had boxed in his youth and had the nose to prove it. But he also had the gift of the pitch. And once in the land of many Alohas, he traveled door-to-door selling the hot, new vacuum-tube Philco radios to the islanders. It was the beginning of broadcasting's Golden Age, and he did well.
When he returned stateside he opened an appliance store in Berkeley and the rest, as they say….
Well…perhaps not quite history, but the store in Berkeley was the first of what became an extremely successful chain of home furnishing stores throughout the San Francisco East Bay Area in the 40s, 50s,and 60s.
The key to his success was advertising – lots of it.
No pay-per-click budgets to monitor, no social media to maintain, no websites to optimize. "Traffic" was driven into the store by traditional media where you could engage the prospects in conversation and sell them.
In the early days, he used print exclusively; later, he added radio and a bit of television.
He was a master at negotiating great pricing from the manufacturers, which he passed along to his customers, but if there was a single key to his success, it was heavy promotion.
He was the Cal Worthington of the Bay Area Home Furnishing world. It may not have been the most sophisticated position, but it worked.
My dad and the WISEMAN'S brand are long gone. So imagine my surprise when my youngest daughter, in a self-motivated journey into our family's genealogy, stumbled across her grandfather's earliest ads promoting the opening of his first store, and sent them to me.
Here is an historically interesting look at one of the San Francisco Bay Area's more successful merchandisers (he was Northern California's most successful Frigidiare dealer in the mid twentieth century.)
The ads themselves aren't particularly unique, but note the financing terms! Even in 1940, $.75 a week had to attract interest. Selling "terms" was another of his successful actions.
But put a bib on before scrolling much further so you when you drool at the prices, it doesn't get on your shirt or blouse.
There is more about one of the most successful new marketing actions below the pictures, but take a scroll through the advertising of 70 years ago and then pick up the narrative below.
Some things have changed.
Yes, merchants still advertise in newspapers, but traditional advertising revenue has been falling like the President's poll numbers. Ad revenue has fallen 48% since 2006. Some of the country's most preeminent newspapers have gone under, while even the venerable New York Times recently announced staff reductions due to "a deteriorating advertising climate".
Meanwhile, online advertising continues to soar because that is where the public shops today. E-commerce is projected to have reached $680 billion in 2011, an increase of 18.9% over 2010. No surprise then that Internet advertising amounted to $26.04 billion in 2010 making it the second largest advertising channel behind television at $28 billion, but surpassing newspapers at $22 billion.
If you're in business, if you sell a product or service, you had better have a website.
But, of course, a website isn't enough. You have to get the shoppers to your site. You can promote your website address, of course, and should. But consider the following information from www.slumdogmarketer.com:
97 % of American Internet users use the Internet to shop (NPD Group).
And, 63% of consumers turn to the Internet first for information about local companies.
But here is the critical fact: according to a study by Webvisible.com and Nielson Online, 82% use search engines to find what they are looking for (Google has 64% of the search engine traffic, Yahoo has 18% and Microsoft's Bing has 12%).
Which raises the question: are your ad dollars properly allocated?
The Webvisible/Nielson study also found that the top sources for local information by shoppers were:
Search Engines = 82%
Yellow Pages = 57%
Local Newspapers = 53%
Internet Yellow Pages = 49%
Television = 49%
Direct Mail = 38%
White Pages = 32%
All of which has given rise to the creation of an entire new niche in the world of marketing. It's called Search Engine Optimization(SEO). Likely you've heard of it. And likely you've been solicited by SEO companies from the four corners of the globe, promising high search engine placement.
The competition for SEO business is so intense that I even received an unsolicited call from an SEO company, in Mubai the other day.
These companies specialize in increasing the search engine rankingof your website.
The story is told in some detail by an inadvertent leak of a massive amount of keyword search data by AOL (AOL uses Google search). The leak involved 20 million key-words searched by 650,000 users over a period of three months. The leak was in 2006, but remains revealing.
If you want to know how important the ranking of your website is on a search engine page take a look:
If your are in the #1 position on the page you get 42.1% of the clicks.
#2 position, 11.9% of the clicks — 3.5x less than #1
#3 position, 8.5% of the clicks — 4.9x less than #1
#6 position, 4.1% of the clicks — 10.4x less than #1
#8 position, 3% of the clicks — 14x less than #1
#9 position, 2.85% of the clicks — 14.8x less than #1
(The leaked data is widely available on the Internet. This math courtesy of Netmark.com.)
So, simple basics:
1- To survive in today's business world, you must have a website.
2- The website must be responsive to search engine queries about the product or service you sell.
3- The higher you are ranked on the search engine, the better your chance of attracting business. Too far into the bowels of the search engine, you are out of communication with your public.
As you can see, your search engine ranking is critical to your marketing.
Which in turn leads me to share a success with you that will blow you mind.
A friend of mine in New York named Tom Jacoby, does search engine optimization. But he has developed a unique methodology that drives your website up the search engine pages like a heat- seeking missile.
I know, this sounds like a commercial, but bear with me, this is startling.
He ties your product or service to a location:
Sandals, Honolulu
Pawn Shop, Las Vegas
Vegan Market, Berkeley
Tires, Daytona
Organic Dog Food, Santa Monica
Cosmetic Surgery, Beverly Hills
You get seven zip codes or cities and seven key words. So, for example, a beauty saloon in Burbank could have
Beauty Saloon Burbank
Hair Coloring Burbank
Hair and Make-Up Burbank
Pedicure Burbank
Hair Extentions Burbank
Highlights and Coloring Burbank
Hair Pieces and Wigs Burbank
Then, in addition, they would get these same seven key-words in six other jurisdictions, say, for example: Toluca Lake, Universal City, Sunland, Glendale, Hollywood, North Hollywood. Seven cities, seven key-words.
And boy does it work.
An On Target client, to whom we referred Tom earlier in the year, has had a handsome affluence running for months, attributable in part to this service.
But let me get personal. One might think that this would only work for a local business. Not so. I engaged the service for On Target Research some months ago. We aren't local; our clients are all over the United States. So I picked 7 key cities and 7 key words and turned Tom loose.
One of the survey services that large corporate clients often seek is Customer Loyalty Surveys. This was one of the key words I used in seven major cities across the country.
If you put "Customer Loyalty Surveys Los Angeles" into Google, you will see that we are number one on the list. We are also number one for "Customer Loyalty Surveys New York". Number two on the list for Chicago.
Did this help our sales? On Target has just had its best year in over a decade.
Tom's SEO works, and is embarrassingly affordable.
His company is www.numberoneonthelist.com. You can reach him at [email protected] or 917-338-9586.
Tell him I sent you. He gives a discount and an added key word to my clients and friends.
I hope this helps you to have an outrageously prosperous 2012!
And let me know when you need to have surveys done.

Morris loan extended
@ftfc media
Midfielder to remain at Highbury until end of the season
Fleetwood Town have extended Josh Morris' loan from Blackburn Rovers until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old winger has made seven appearances for the Cod Army so far and picked up an assist on Tuesday evening by providing the corner for Mark Roberts to score Fleetwood's second against Bristol Rovers.
Manager Graham Alexander said: "Josh has settled in really well since he joined us from Blackburn Rovers last month.
"He is playing very well and he is causing the opposition problems down the left hand side of midfield. He has shown he is a young player with a bright future ahead of him.
"He shows a lot of quality on the ball and he is a good part of the squad. I am pleased he is staying and we thank Blackburn for allowing us to keep him."
Do you think Josh will score his first goal for the club this weekend against Rochdale? The midfielder is currently 18/1 to score the opening goal of the game.

We Are China
Peace and Development: Key Message of President Xi's Central Asia Visit Before the Party Congress
By Yi Fan (People's Daily Online) 11:14, October 03, 2022
Chinese President Xi Jinping just concluded his visit to Central Asia and attendance of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit. As the much anticipated, twice-in-a-decade national congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is less than one month away, this visit naturally attracts much attention from international observers: what is the key message of President Xi's first travel overseas since the pandemic began? What is China's solution to the challenges in this complex and uncertain world?
Under the leadership of President Xi, China has committed itself to advance dialogue and cooperation, promoting unity and openness, and safeguarding peace and development. As a constructive force in international relations, China is playing an increasingly important role in ensuring the long-term stability and sustainable development of the world. To promote peace and security, the two defining themes of our times, and address global challenges, President Xi has proposed the Global Security Initiative (GSI) and Global Development Initiative (GDI). The Central Asian visit gives us some rough ideas about how these two initiatives are relevant to the region and the world.
Preserving Peace With a New Approach to Security
Peace and security are interdependent. In today's world, profound changes in major-power relations, the spillover of geopolitical conflicts, the resurgence of unilateralism, group politics and the Cold War mentality, and the emergence of non-traditional security issues have all created immense pressure on global peace and security. This is why China proposed the GSI: to address the peace deficit and pursue security for all, by promoting a shared commitment to common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security.
During the SCO Summit, President Xi further elaborated on this initiative to the participating leaders, especially its unique value in resolving issues like Afghanistan. He called for a balanced, effective, and sustainable security architecture, and announced substantive measures to help maintain peace and security in the region, including training 2,000 law enforcement personnel for SCO member states in the next five years and setting up a China-SCO base for training counter-terrorism personnel.
When meeting bilaterally with Central Asian leaders, President Xi reiterated China's support for their efforts to uphold national independence, sovereignty, and security, and voiced opposition to external interference in domestic affairs. China's commitment to cooperation and show of support was widely applauded by the Central Asian leaders, which will generate even stronger momentum for security cooperation among regional countries under the GSI.
Pursuing Development Through Open and Inclusive Cooperation
As President Xi noted in his SCO speech, "Human society has both sunny and rainy days in its development." And the global picture of development is by no means sunny at the moment. Supply chain disruptions, energy, and food crises as well as uncertainties caused by the pandemic and regional conflicts are putting economies under strain. The deficit in development has only widened in recent years, and members of the Global South are finding it even more difficult to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). People around the world are looking for a solution to these problems, a way to navigate through the "rainy days". Many have shared their ideas, and China's proposal, most aptly captured by the GDI, is for countries to foster a global development partnership for "more robust, greener and more balanced global development".
Being close neighbors of China, the Central Asian countries are well positioned to play a leading role in delivering the vision of the GDI and benefit from its implementation, just as their active participation in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has proven. Since the launch of the BRI nearly a decade ago, major infrastructure projects like the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan highway and the China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan railway have helped Uzbekistan, a land-locked country on the ancient Silk Road, transform into a land-linked country. The China-Kazakhstan International Logistics Base in the coastal Chinese city of Lianyungang has made it possible for Kazakhstan to ship its products through the Pacific Ocean to the world.
To further develop cooperation with its Central Asian neighbors, President Xi pledged to step up cooperation in a broad range of areas, including agriculture, energy, supply chains, and innovation. He also announced the plan to provide developing countries in need with 1.5 billion RMB yuan worth of emergency humanitarian assistance, and offer satellite data services to support regional countries in agricultural development, connectivity, and disaster mitigation and relief. Aligned with the needs of Central Asian countries, the GDI will open up broader prospects for sustainable development in the region.
The Party Congress Will Reinforce China's Commitment to Peace and Development
Unsurprisingly, as the 20th CPC National Congress will soon be convened in October, the world is all eyes on China. People outside China are eager to learn what new policies China would introduce after the Party Congress and what they mean to the world.
During his visit, President Xi answered some of these questions by conveying a message of confidence, a message warmly received by his counterparts. The CPC will "formulate programs of action and overarching policies to meet China's new development goals" and "new expectations of the people", President Xi said. Demonstrating China's unwavering commitment and sense of responsibility, he also reaffirmed that the country will continue to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, create new opportunities for the world with new advances in its development, and contribute its vision and strength to world peace and development and human progress.
Actions speak louder than words. This is a value cherished in China and across the world. As uncertain as the journey ahead may be, one thing is certain: China, under the leadership of the CPC, will remain as committed as ever to peace and development of the region and being a force for good in the world.

Possibly you've heard from the terms 'raw food,' 'raw living' or 'raw foodism,' and you're intrigued and interested in what these terms denote. What's raw food? What's raw foodism and also the raw food diet? Understanding these terms are simple. This information will answer these questions in addition to explain why people eat raw food and the way to go raw. You might be surprised about why people continue this lifestyle, and possibly you'll conclude that they're the sensible ones!
The objective of this really is to make sure that the meals contains its optimal nutrient and enzyme content (Cooking in a temperature above 115 levels F (46 levels Celsius) destroys the majority of the nutrients and enzymes in food). It refers particularly to natural, healthy, plant-based foods. It excludes throughout-processed, over-cooked, zero-nutrient, preservative-laden foods which are so prevalent today.
The dietary plan includes fresh vegetables and fruit, seeds and nuts, dried fruits and berries, sprouts, juices, dehydrated crackers and breads and avocado.
This may also involve gourmet foods for example dips and spreads, date and nut 'brownies,' desserts and sweets, sauces, cacao (healthy chocolate), coconut smoothies, nutrient-dense "soups," zucchini/carrot "pasta," along with an infinite number of other gourmet foods that may be designed to accommodate this healthy way of life.
Raw Foodism: refers back to the lifestyle and action of eating a raw food diet, in addition to the fact that this food will assist you to heal and nurture a persons' mind, body and soul.
Living Foods: synonym of 'raw food,' – this phrase also describes any foods which are uncooked and unprocessed (I.e., are ingested in their natural, unadulterated condition).
Raw Living: synonym of 'raw foodism' and 'the raw food diet' – it's the lifestyle of an individual who consumes natural, plant-based, nutrient-dense foods.
People adopt the dietary plan to profit from the optimal nutrient and enzyme content. They nurture and feed their physiques with a good amount of minerals, proteins, vitamins along with other essential nutrients for a sound body, and for that reason, frequently see profound healing.
Raw foodism is well-famous because of its health advantages and amazing healing abilities. Persons adopt this lifestyle to obvious their skin problems (acne, skin psoriasis, eczema etc.), for additional energy, to deal with their depression, to shed weight (one such reason), to detox their sick body, to avoid, treat or reverse chronic disease (for example diabetes, cancer, weight problems or chronic discomfort), for durability, to recuperate from addictions, for beauty, in order to develop a positive frame-of-mind on existence (I.e., a love of existence!).
Overnight or progressively: An individual can adopt the raw food vegan diet by 1 of 2 ways: overnight or progressively. For both are perfectly fine, however, many individuals are daunted by immediately adopting this lifestyle so that they choose to make gradual steps to gradually transition for this lifestyle. They might do that over dependent on days, several weeks or years based on their own health or strength of mind!
Percentage: One might want to eat 100%, 90%, 75%, or 50% raw… it's as much as every individual just how much raw food they choose to consume about this diet. Some might start at 50%, then transition to 75%. If they're happy with just how much their own health has improved when you eat this number of raw food, they may choose to make a decision to visit 95% to 100% raw!
Trial: It's possible to also 'test out' this lifestyle for any couple of days or several weeks to find out if it's appropriate or compatible for his or her needs or lifestyle. Bear in mind that it's frequently probably the most challenging at the start, but as time passes can get simpler.
This is really any adverse health-friendly lifestyle and can do wonders for your skin, hair, nails, waistline, levels of energy and happiness. It's really no question that everybody is ditching their unhealthy, over-processed, overcooked diets and therefore are replacing all of them with this super healthy lifestyle!

BLACKSBURG, VA, APRIL 14, 2011: Today, National Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market: NKSH) announced net income of over $4.02 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net income is $255,000, or nearly 6.77%, above the total reported for the first quarter of 2010. Basic net income per share was $0.58, which compares with $0.54 for the first three months last year. The return of average assets for the first quarter was 1.60%, and it was 1.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The return on average equity was 12.44% and 12.27% for the same two periods. Total loans at quarter-end, at $588.88 million, were down slightly from the total of $589.13 million at the end of March last year, but were up from $577.39 million reported at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, the Company had total assets of $1.03 billion, an increase of 3.40% over the end of the first quarter of 2010 and up slightly from total assets of $1.02 billion at year-end.
National Bankshares' Chairman, President & CEO James G. Rakes commented, "The stable interest rate environment during the first quarter of the year allowed us to maintain a healthy net interest margin, which resulted in an increase in net interest income. We have seen some tentative signs that the economic recovery may be reaching our market area, but loan demand remains slower than we would like and some customers continue to struggle. Our lenders have been working with these customers to try to help them through their difficulties. We are still prudently funding the provision for loan losses as we look forward to indications of a sustained recovery."
National Bankshares, Inc., headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia, is the parent company of National Bank of Blacksburg, which does business as National Bank, and of National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc. National Bank is a community bank operating from 25 offices throughout Southwest Virginia. National Bankshares Financial Services, Inc. is an investment and insurance subsidiary in the same trade area. The Company's stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "NKSH".

Although the Company believes that its expectations with regard to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual Company results will not differ materially from any future results implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results may be materially different from past or anticipated results because of many factors, some of which may include changes in economic conditions, the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory requirements, new products, competition, changes in the stock and bond markets and technology.

New Jersey's Clean Energy Program offers an incentive to customers willing to give up their older, energy-wasting refrigerators, freezers, room air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Some of these units can use nearly twice as much energy as newer models! NJCEP ensures that the old units are recycled in an environmentally responsible manner by partnering with a vendor to complete the pick-up and recycling of these units.
What are the requirements/ conditions?
How do customers schedule a pickup?
Why is New Jersey's Clean Energy Program offering this program?
How long does it take to receive my rebate for recycling my old refrigerator or freezer?
How long does the pick-up normally take?
Do I have to unhook or remove anything before the pick-up date?
What if the refrigerator is in my basement or on the second floor of my home?
The appliances must be in working condition, meaning that they have the ability to operate to some degree. Refrigerators and freezers must be greater than 10 cubic feet in size, but no larger than 30 cubic feet. We are seeking units that are a 1995 model or older, however, you are not required to date your fridge to participate in the program; a fridge of any age will qualify.
There is a pick up limit of two refrigerators or freezers, along with two room air conditioner units, and two dehumidifiers (the pickup of room a/c and dehumdifiers is only available at the same appointment for a refrigerator or freezer; there will be no appointments made for collection of room a/c or dehumidifiers only) per account, per calendar year.
The vendor will arrange a pick up time with you with the understanding that an adult, 18 years of age or older, be present at the time of the driver's arrival. Appointments are typically scheduled one to three weeks in advance. Call us at 866.657.6278 to speak to a representative.
The program helps customers save money by eliminating older, energy wasting units. In turn, it reduces Clean Energy's overall energy needs, thus reducing the need for more power plants and avoiding the environmental impacts of energy generation. In addition, units are recycled in an environmentally responsible manner and are not being returned to the used appliance market.
How much of the appliance is recycled and how does it benefit the environment?
More than 90 percent of each unit is recycled by the vendor following guidelines from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ARCA safely disposes of toxins and ozone destroying chlorofluorocarbon (CFC-11) gases from foam insulation. After capturing the toxins (oils, mercury, PCBS) and ozone depleting substances (CFC11 and other foam insulation blowing agents, and CFC 12 and other refrigerants) the facility recycles all the plastic, metals and glass in the fridge, thus limiting landfill waste.
It takes approximately 120 days from the day your appliance is collected to receive your check.
Collection times vary. You can expect the collection crew to spend 15-30 minutes at your home.
Do I have to unhook or remove anything before the pick up date?
Yes, if your refrigerator or freezer has a waterline, you will need to disconnect it from the water hook up prior to the arrival of the crew. Please remove room air conditioners from the windows and ensure that dehumidifiers have been emptied of water.
If your refrigerator or freezer is located in a basement or on the second floor, you will need to remove any railings that may prevent the crew from clearing the stairwell. In addition, please confirm that the appliance will fit through the door way with the door attached. If there is not enough room, you will need to remove the door(s) in your home prior to the arrival of the crew. A pathway large enough to safely remove the appliance must be made. The collection crew is unable to remove or relocate any items in your home.

We search for coincident gravitational wave signals from inspiralling neutron star binaries using LIGO and TAMA300 data taken during early 2003. Using a simple trigger exchange method, we perform an intercollaboration coincidence search during times when TAMA300 and only one of the LIGO sites were operational. We find no evidence of any gravitational wave signals. We place an observational upper limit on the rate of binary neutron star coalescence with component masses between 1 and 3M of 49 per year per Milky Way equivalent galaxy at a 90% confidence level. The methods developed during this search will find application in future network inspiral analyses. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Check Out Manoj Bajpayee's First Look Poster For 'The Family Man' Shot On A Phone Camera
Manoj Bajpayee Is Back And Its More Intense Than Ever
Snigdha Kacker Updated: Sep 4, 2019, 18:10 IST
Amazon Prime Video has been churning out mind-blowing Indian-based content for a while now and the stories have simply gotten better with time. They recently announced a new thriller/drama series and seem to have hit another home run with it.
They announced their collaboration with Manoj Bajpayee titled The Family Man by releasing the first look poster and a short teaser.
The show, created by Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru, is the story of Srikant Tiwari, a middle-class man who works for the anti-terrorist National Investigation Agency. The teaser doesn't give you too much to go on, except a lot of posturing and serious faces, but it does reveal Gul Panag and Dalip Tahil as part of The Family Man cast, along with Sharib Hashmi and Priyamani.
While Manoj Bajpayee is back to playing a lawman in his own serious, sarcastic style, the one thing that is catching all eyes is the first look poster, that was shot on a OnePlus smartphone.
While no one knows which OnePlus phone was used to shoot these, we are guessing it might just be a way to reveal the camera's prowess ahead of their upcoming flagship releases or it could have been them putting their OnePlus 7 series to the test.
The word around the rumour mill is that the OnePlus 7T series is getting a major camera upgrade with a quad-camera module design. And by the looks of this poster, it's safe to assume that the rumors might be true. The quality of the poster is almost life-like and marks another extraordinary marketing win for OnePlus.
In addition to the first look poster, OnePlus will also be setting up interactive billboards across India that audiences can engage with, using the camera on their smartphones to access exclusive virtual content about the show.
This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between a content streaming platform and a phone company. Both OnePlus and Amazon Prime decided to bank on the fact that India is a mobile-first country when it comes to partnering up for the poster. Both companies share a common philosophy of coming up with new ways to engage with their audiences and this panned out to be one of them, along with the interactive billboards.
OnePlus has done magazine covers in the past with Aditi Rao Hydari for Vogue, Jameela Jamil for Harpers Bazaar and Rajkummar Rao for GQ. All three covers were shot using the OnePlus 7 series and OnePlus 6T.
The Family Man is out in September on Prime Video, but Amazon is yet to reveal an exact release date. Meanwhile, we are waiting for the trailer which comes out on September 5.
