Academic nursing administrators' workplace satisfaction and intent to stay
Emory, J., Lee, P., Miller, M. T., Kippenbrock, T., & Rosen, C. (2017). Academic nursing administrators' workplace satisfaction and intent to stay. Nursing Outlook , 65 (1), 77-83.
In nursing education, the academic administrator is critical given the multitude of challenges associated with program delivery (e.g., shortages of faculty, strict and changing regulations for program accreditation, and the sheer demand for more nurses). Unfortunately, with the focus on recruiting and retaining new novice faculty to teach students, academic nursing administrators have been overlooked in recent studies. As such, this study, which uses data from the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education, aims to explore the workplace satisfaction and intent to stay of academic nursing administrators by considering their relation to a variety of demographic and work related variables. Results indicate that several modifiable work factors positively relate to both job satisfaction and intent to stay.

Benchmark Best Practices: Appreciation & Recognition
(2014). Benchmark Best Practices: Appreciation & Recognition . The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education.
The COACHE surveys of college faculty produce data that are both salient to full-time college faculty and actionable by academic leaders. The survey items are aggregated into 20 benchmarks representing faculty satisfaction. This white paper examines appreciation and recognition for faculty teaching efforts, student advising, scholarly/creative work, service contributions, and outreach.
Focus group research conducted by COACHE showed that while many tenured faculty members feel valued by undergraduate and graduate students, they do not receive much recognition from other faculty and upper-level administrators. The degree to which appreciation/recognition themes appeared in our 2010 study of tenured faculty far surpassed their appearance in our pre-tenure faculty research. In our recent study, tenured faculty felt that extramural service that increases the reputation of their colleges, while expected of them, is not recognized and goes unrewarded. This gap between expectations and appreciation discouraged many faculty from serving their institutions in this way.

To stay or not to stay: retention of Asian international faculty in STEM fields
Lawrence, J. H., Celis, S., Kim, H. S., Lipson, S. K., & Tong, X. (2014). To stay or not to stay: retention of Asian international faculty in STEM fields. Higher Education , 67 (5), 511-531.
The present study identifies characteristics of individuals and work settings that influence Asian international faculty members' intentions to continue their employment in US research universities. Given the demand for researchers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (STEM), the higher rate of turnover among untenured faculty, and the replacement costs associated with turnover in STEM, the sample is limited to assistant professors employed in these areas. Multinomial regression analyses identified variables that "pull" and "push" uncertain faculty toward intentions to stay and leave their current institutions. The results suggest that faculty who are more satisfied with time available for research and those who express stronger organizational commitment are more likely to say they will stay. Those dissatisfied with the fairness of work evaluations and those who believe tenure decisions are not merit-based are more likely to say they will leave.

College nursing faculty job satisfaction and retention: A national perspective
Lee, P., Miller, M. T., Kippenbrock, T. A., Rosen, C., & Emory, J. (2017). College nursing faculty job satisfaction and retention: A national perspective. Journal of Professional Nursing , 33 (4), 261-266.
The need for registered nurses in the United States continues to grow. To meet this need for increased numbers of nurses, recruitment and retention of qualified nurse educators has become a priority, and job satisfaction and nursing faculties' intent to stay have emerged as important considerations for administrators.
The purpose of this study is to analyze variables of relationships with nurse faculty job satisfaction and intent to stay from data collected throughout the United States. The Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey was employed for the purposes of this study. Over 1,350 nurse educators were included in the survey. The findings support a variety of modifiable variables that are viewed as important by nursing faculty. The strongest relationship was found to be institutional leadership. The implications can inform academic administrators seeking to retain nursing faculty.
Beyond Teaching and Research: Faculty Perceptions of Service Roles at Research Universities
Mamiseishvili, K., Miller, M. T., & Lee, D. (2016). Beyond Teaching and Research: Faculty Perceptions of Service Roles at Research Universities. Innovative Higher Education , 41 (4), 273-285.
Faculty members in higher education institutions frequently have the responsibility of providing service activities to their institutions, professional societies, and external communities. This responsibility, however, generally carries little reward in the workplace and does not play a major role in promotion criteria. This study drew upon a sample of 4,400 research university faculty members surveyed through the Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey to explore their satisfaction with service roles by academic rank. Findings showed that mid-career faculty members at the associate professor rank were significantly less satisfied with their service functions, including workload, equity, work balance, recognition, and institutional support, when compared with both assistant and full professors.

Understanding the changing faculty workforce in higher education: A comparison of non-tenure track and tenure line experiences
Ott, M., & Cisneros, J. (2015). Understanding the changing faculty workforce in higher education: A comparison of non-tenure track and tenure line experiences. Education Policy Analysis Archives , 23 (90).
Non-tenure track faculty are a growing majority in American higher education, but research examining their work lives is limited. Moreover, the theoretical frameworks commonly used by scholars have been critiqued for reliance on ideologically charged assumptions. Using a conceptual model developed from Hackman and Oldham's (1980) Job Characteristics Model (JCM) and prior research on faculty workplace experiences, this study considers the extent to which full-time non-tenure track and tenure line faculty share a professionalized approach to their jobs, working conditions, and how this is associated with their organizational commitment.
Satisfaction with resources, rewards, autonomy and feedback had a significant positive relationship with odds of organizational commitment for all faculty groups. Overall, the results suggest being removed from the tenure track is not associated with faculty viewing their jobs in a substantially different way than those in tenure line positions, which underscores the importance of conceptualizing full-time faculty work as an integrated whole.

Is the Tenure Process Fair? What Faculty Think
Lawrence, J. H., Celis, S., & Ott, M. (2014). Is the Tenure Process Fair? What Faculty Think. The Journal of Higher Education , 85 (2), 155-188.
A conceptual framework grounded on procedural justice theory was created to explain how judgments about the fairness of tenure decision-making evolved among faculty who had not yet undergone the review. The framework posits that faculty beliefs about fairness are influenced directly by their workplace experiences and both directly and indirectly by their socio-demographic characteristics.
Structural equation modeling was used to assess the proposed effects with data from 2,247 pre-tenure assistant professors at 21 research universities. The results substantiate the importance of perceived campus and department conditions.
Equitable treatment of junior faculty at the department level and effectiveness of feedback have the strongest relationships with beliefs about the equity of tenure decision-making. An individual's sense of control during the process of constructing the tenure dossier predicts his or her judgments about the fairness of tenure reviews. Practical suggestions for campus leaders and implications for future research are discussed.

Personal and Institutional Predictors of Work-Life Balance among Women and Men Faculty of Color
Szelényi, K., & Denson, N. (2019). Personal and Institutional Predictors of Work-Life Balance among Women and Men Faculty of Color. The Review of Higher Education , 43 (2), 633-665.
This study examines predictors of perceived work-life balance among women and men faculty of color using data from the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE). Asian American men faculty report higher perceived work-life balance, while African American women faculty report lower perceived work-life balance as compared to other faculty members. Findings from multivariate analyses show that the strongest, most consistent positive predictor of perceived work-life balance was the faculty perception that the institution does what it can to make personal/family obligations and an academic career compatible. The findings offer important implications for institutional and departmental climate and policy.

Does the environment matter? Faculty satisfaction at 4-year colleges and universities in the USA
Webber, K. L. (2019). Does the environment matter? Faculty satisfaction at 4-year colleges and universities in the USA. Higher Education , 78 (2), 323-343.
Faculty members seek employment in an environment that offers good fit and work satisfaction. This study examined faculty satisfaction by institution type (baccalaureate, master's, doctoral, and research) for recent full-time faculty members in 100 4-year institutions in the United States.
Analysis of the Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey showed that respondents in baccalaureate colleges reported the highest satisfaction. Subsequent analyses to examine strength of difference across institutional type confirmed initial differences for some facets of satisfaction, but not for others. Results showed that faculty perceptions of the institutional environment firmly contribute to their satisfaction. The authors discuss the implications of their findings for policies and programs.

There is renewed interest in shared governance in American higher education. This evidence-based, exploratory study of faculty leadership identifies promising practices for shared stewardship and provides follow-up questions for senior leaders to assess the state of faculty leadership and shared governance on their own campuses. The findings are based on interviews with chief academic officers or faculty officers and chief elected faculty leaders at baccalaureate, masters, and research institutions identified as exemplars through the Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey. The author argues for an expansive view of faculty leadership as a key component of institutional resilience.

Is it possible? In the case of cameras, apparently it is.
A couple of weeks ago I was checking out the early (too early as it turned out) fall colors up one of the local Wasatch Mountain canyons. Coming down from the long hike I was not a little tired and fording a small stream slipped. I often hike with a tripod-mounted camera in one hand and, and, depending upon the scenery, an infrared camera in the other with the rest of the gear in my Lowe Pro back pack. This was not the first time I have fallen with no hands free to protect myself, so you'd think, to paraphrase my understanding wife, that I'd learn. Evidently, not so.
At any rate, down I went into the stream, my right hand holding aloft the tripod and my Pentax K-20 mounted with a Sigma 10-20mm. Approximately $2000 worth of non-water proof gear. I got wet but not that gear. Unfortunately I can't say the same for my infrared-converted Pentax DS: it flew out of my hand and into a pool of water. The pained squawking noise I was making had less to do with my bruised posterior than with the fact that I was watching my out-of-reach camera (mounted with a prime Pentax 20mm f/2.8 lens) slowly sink to the bottom of the shallow pool. I felt like the proverbial turtle on its back: in an awkward position, struggling to right myself and reach my submerged camera. It didn't help that the backpack and muscle cramp in my left calf was conspiring to keep me ground-bound and my camera submerged.
Finally I was able to pull myself up and grab the camera strap to lift my dripping camera out of the water. It seemed like it had been under for several minutes but in reality it was certainly no more than 10-20 seconds. Time enough! Even the weather seals on my K10 and K20 would have been hard-pressed to resist the cold, flowing stream water.
Once home I opened all the camera's doors and left the lens off in the hopes that our dry Utah climate would work its magic on the camera. The lens itself was fine. If I had had a cheap plastic lens perhaps I would not have fared so well, but this 20mm is a fine prime and apparently well-sealed.
After a couple of days, I dropped some batteries in and turned on the camera. All seemed well at first as I reset the date but then all of a sudden the LCD panel began displaying characters that looked to be a cross between Cyrillic and Klingon. Looking at the LCD monitor I could clearly see water behind the glass. I quickly pulled the batteries out and gave it another day. Returning to it a day later I popped the batteries in, set the date and Lo and Behold (imagine trumpets and angels), it lives!
Perhaps life after drowning is not as rare as I had imagined. I found several posts online discussing just this and also advanced some additional treatments such as the use of white rice (uncooked, to be sure) and silica packs to help absorb water. These would likely help in more humid environs than the Southwest. I'm a happy infrared camper once again and I swear that the dowsing even took care of three annoying spots on the sensor I could not seem to remove by more reasonable measures. Of course, I can't recommend to everyone sensor cleaning via drowning, but it seems to have worked for me!

Burt Lancaster plays Wyatt Earp and the late Kirk Douglas Doc Holliday in this classic telling of the legendary wild west shootout. Regarded by many as the definitive take on the story, it does a great line in gunslinging philosophy: "There's always a man faster on the draw than you are, and the more you use a gun, the sooner you're gonna run into that man." Interestingly, some Tombstone street scenes were shot on the same set as the TV series Bonanza. Director John Sturges went on to even greater western heights with The Magnificent Seven.

The Oscars 2022: How to Watch the 94th Annual Academy Awards
It's almost time to hand out those little gold statues.
The Oscars 2022 are almost upon us. On March 27, the 94th annual Academy Awards will be held at the Dolby Theatre, honoring the greatest films, performances, and behind-the-scenes movie magic of the year.
To be considered for Hollywood's greatest honor, a film must have been released between March 1 and December 31, 2021. Given how many films were placed on hold in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year's is sure to be filled with some heavy competition.
Some of the front-runners? Well, Kristen Stewart rustled up some early Oscar buzz for her stunning portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer, but the profound film was not the only biopic game in town and she may have some heavy competition from Nicole Kidman for Being the Ricardos. Then, of course, there is the Andrew Garfield of it all. Between The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Tick, Tick... Boom!, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, this just might be the year of Garfield. (Yes, we know he's not likely to be rewarded with a little gold man for his work as Peter Three, but we're including it here for reasons.)
No matter who wins, it's going to be a glorious evening full of gowns, Champagne, and drawn-out acceptance speeches. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch the Oscars 2022.
You can watch live on cable TV. If you are still someone who pays for cable, the Oscars will air on ABC at 8 p.m. E.T. on March 27, 2022.
It will also be available to stream. Aside from the ABC app, the Oscars will be available on Hulu with its Live TV subscription as well as on FuboTV, depending on where you live. Unfortunately, there is no way to stream the awards show at no cost unless you utilize a free trial.
Who is nominated? You can see the full list of Oscar 2022 nominees here. After you're caught up, don't forget to check out our guide to where to watch the Oscar nominated movies. There's still time to stream!

OperaScotland recently interviewed Stephanie Corley. At the time of writing, Stephanie is about to appear in the title role of Sir James MacMillan's opera, Inés de Castro. She is already well known to Scottish audiences, having appeared as Hanna Glawari, Musetta and most prominently as Mabel in Pirates of Penzance.
First clip features this promising young soprano talking about the early stages of her career. As the background sounds suggest, we managed to interview her in a -fairly quiet corner of a restaurant as she was preparing to perform at the Byre Theatre, St Andrews.

Moscow (AsiaNews) - Against the backdrop of the Ukrainian crisis, tensions are getting worse between local Catholics and the Orthodox Patriarchate of Moscow, which continues to denounce the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine for its alleged involvement with Western policy vis-à-vis Russia.
In making an appeal for reconciliation through AsiaNews, the Major Archbishop of Kyiv, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, wants Moscow recognises the dignity of the Ukrainian people and open a sincere dialogue based on truth.
"Do not believe propaganda! We are not your enemies, we are brothers; we want to be good neighbours, have friendly relations and close cooperation with you," the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church said as he directly addresses his "Russian brothers."
"We regret that [Russian] state propaganda is creating an image of the Ukraine as an enemy," he added in a telephone conversation with AsiaNews. "We do not want to do anything that harms or is likely to spurn the dignity or freedom of the Russian Orthodox Church. We just want an open and honest dialogue, which might eventually lead one day to reconciliation."
Recently, the two highest officials in the Moscow Patriarchate, the Orthodox Primate Kirill, and the head of the Department of Foreign Church Relations, Metropolitan Hilarion, attacked the commitment of Greek Catholics in the Ukraine in favour of Maidan protests.
"Greek Catholics have in fact launched a crusade against Orthodoxy," the Patriarchate's 'foreign minister' said in April, reiterating the old belief that 'Uniatism '(a term used in a derogatory manner to describe Greek Catholics in communion with the Pope) is a special project of the Catholic Church, aiming to convert the Orthodox to Catholicism.
"This language offends us," Shevchuk said. "They define us a human 'project' and not as the body of Christ. This means denying the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church the dignity of being a Church."
"We are sorry that our fellow Christians attack us, by using state propaganda-style tactics and not through a proper ecclesiastical message," the bishop noted.
"Moscow has the right to interpret social events in Ukraine in its own way, but we Christians must always tell the truth," he added.
In late March, Patriarch Kirill harshly attacked Greek Catholics, condemning "the direct involvement in political activities, with statements against the Russian Orthodox Church." This, he warned, casts "very sad shadow" on relations between the Patriarchate and the Vatican.
In reality, "Since the start of the year we have tried to open a direct dialogue with the representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate without much success," the major bishop of Kyiv explained.
"Card Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, offered to mediate between our Church and the Moscow Church," the bishop added. "In practice, this means between me and Metropolitan Hilarion, so that we can have in an open, ecclesiastical, and sincere way share our views and calm down tensions a bit. However, from Moscow we only got refusals, without a clear reason."
When asked to explain this rejection, Shevchuk can only speculate. "Perhaps they refuse dialogue because this would force them to listen to their interlocutor and thus would them to acknowledge his dignity. Perhaps this is what we are missing".
Still, the prelate noted that relations with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate are "excellent." Indeed, "In the Ukraine all Christian churches as well as Jews and Muslims have always agreed on every position on the current crisis."
"Recently, we came together with the regent Onufri at the swearing-in ceremony of the new president, Petro Poroshenko," the bishop of Kyiv said. "We all support his efforts for peace. There is absolutely no tension between the various confessions in Ukraine."
In the current situation, the Orthodox Church of Moscow is concerned that the Ukrainian Orthodox community (loyal to Moscow) might break away from the Moscow Patriarchate, becoming an autocephalous Church, or even join with the Kyiv-based Orthodox Church in (which already broke away from Moscow).
Whilst the Catholic bishop says he is sceptical about a possible schism within Russian Orthodoxy and the creation of a single Ukrainian Orthodox Church, independent of Moscow, does acknowledge the need for the Russian Orthodox Church to "rid itself of political ideology".


I have lookup file about 400 records and wanted to use the all rows as a global variables wherever needed to use them in transformation(in tMap component).
Is there any way to store the all lookup values in tSetGlobalVar component without typing each and every row(key & value) ? please help me in this case.
Please describe your requirement with more details, so we can give you more accurate answers.
I have input data as in column level and lookup as in row level, need to join both and get the respective Average to populate output.
my question is... in future i will have more data in lookup file about 400 rows, so is there any way to load the all values in tSetGlobalVar compoent (directly read the values from the lookup file and keep them in tSetGlobalVar component to use in downstream compoents) ?
OK. Are you sure that your globalMap variable key is "C1"? Because the globalMap is passing back null for that key. Java is case sensitive.
Here is the flow i have.
Where is globalMap.get("C1") being set? the globalMap is just a HashMap which will only hold what is put in there. You have to put the values in there using Java, a tSetGlobalMap or a tFlowToIterate (other Talend components use it as well). Where is "C1" being add to the globalMap and what is being put in there? For some reason, when you are trying to use the value corresponding to the "C1" key, it is not there.

Looking Up: Big Dipper points the way
Peter Becker
The next clear spring evening, note how the Big Dipper is at its highest in the northern sky. The Dipper's "bowl" appears to upside down as if it were emptying its celestial contents on the North Star below.
The front two stars of the bowl - on the left as seen from this perspective, act as a handy pointer to the North Star. If you trace an imaginary line the other way, up overhead and down again in the south, you come to the constellation Leo the Lion, with the bright blue-white star Regulus on the right.
Next, extend a line from the "handle" of the Big Dipper, continuing its sweeping arc to the east. This guides you to the brilliant, zero magnitude orange star Arcturus.
Going back to the Big Dipper's bowl, connect a diagonal line from the top right corner star to the bottom left corner star and keep on going. This line points you northwest, and to the bright, zero magnitude, yellow star Capella.
As you may recall from geometry class, a circle contains 360 degrees.
Imagine yourself sitting on a log raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a soccer ball called Wilson. While you await rescue, you enjoy the tremendous view at night. You are able to see that the truly flat horizon all the way around, 360 degrees. From anywhere on the horizon to straight overhead - the "zenith" - is 90 degrees. From due north to the zenith, to due south, is of course, 180 degrees.
You can picture smaller amounts of measure using the Big Dipper. The front stars of the bowl are very close to five degrees apart. The "mouth" of the bowl, as seen on Spring evenings facing down, is very close to 10 degrees from star to star.
From the North Star to the first of the front "pointer" stars is 28-1/2 degrees.
As you look further into studying the night sky, a knowledge of celestial measurements is essential. References will be given to how close a planet is from a star, or the angular width between two or three stars that orbit each other.
Each degree is further defined by 60 "minutes of arc" and noted by a single apostrophe ('). The apparent width of the Sun or the moon is close to a half degree, or 30'.
Telescope users will need to know even closer measurements. Each minute of arc is broken down to 60 seconds of arc ("). This is so small your eyes alone will not resolve it.
The apparent widths of the planets, for instance, require a telescope to see, and are measured in seconds of arc.
The middle star of the Big Dipper's handle, known as Mizar, has a fainter star very close to it known as Alcor. They are separated by 11.8' and can usually be resolved with out the aid of binoculars. Steady yourself and look very closely. The Arabs referred to this pair as the "Horse and Rider."
A small telescope magnifying about 60x will show that the brighter star, Mizar, is itself a close double star.
Be the first on the block to name all seven stars of the Big Dipper. Starting with the end star of the handle, Alkaid, next is Mizar, then Alioth and Megrez, the last being the where the handle and bowl come together. As on a spring evening with the bowl upside down, the next star up from Megrez is Phecda. Moving to the left along the "bottom of the bowl" (on top as seen at this time of night and year), you come to Merak. This, and the star Dubhe are the "front bow" stars, which point you to Polaris, the North Star.
Be sure to see bright planet Saturn, high in the east, the next clear evening. Over the next few weeks, early risers with a good, low view to the east, will see four planets in the growing light of dawn. Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter will be near one another. Binoculars will help, due to the twilight glow.
The moon is last quarter on April 24.

5 Tips To Start A Business During COVID
PM Modi, IBM CEO discuss work-from-home technologies
July 20, 2020 admin	0 Comments
Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with IBM CEO Arvind Krishna via video conferencing Monday and discussed the impact of Covid-19 on the company's culture and its work-from-home scenario, among other things.
Talking about the impact of COVID on business culture, Modi said that 'work from home' is being adopted in a big way and the government is constantly working towards providing infrastructure, connectivity and regulatory environment to ensure that this technological shift is smooth. He also discussed the technologies associated and challenges involved in the recent decision of IBM to make 75% of its employees to work from home.
Apart from that, the prime minister appreciated the role played by IBM, in association with CBSE, towards the launch of AI curriculum in 200 schools in India. He said that the government is working towards introducing students to concepts such as AI, machine learning etc at an early stage, to further the tech temperament in the country. IBM CEO said that teaching about technology and data should be in the category of basic skills like algebra, needs to be taught with passion and should be introduced early.
The IBM-AI curriculum is part of CBSE's Social Empowerment through Work Education and Action (SEWA) programme and will be introduced in about 200 schools across 13 states — Delhi-NCR, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Kerala, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab.
Apart from that, Arvind Krishna also briefed Modi IBM's investment plans in India and also expressed confidence in the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat to which Modi added that the country is welcoming and supporting investments taking place in the tech sector. During the interaction, Modi also noted that while the world is witnessing slowdown, FDI inflow in India is increasing, according to an official press release.
Modi also spoke explored the possibilities of creating AI-based tools in the healthcare sector and development of better models for disease prediction and analysis. He mentioned that the country is moving towards development of an integrated, tech and data driven healthcare system, which is affordable and hassle-free for the people. He noted that IBM can play an important role in taking forward the healthcare vision. IBM CEO appreciated Modi's vision for Ayushman Bharat and talked about using technology for early identification of diseases.
Other areas of discussion included the issues of data security, cyber attacks, concerns around privacy, and health benefits of Yoga.

Starbucks (SBUX) beat fiscal Q1 impressions for earnings, revenue and the same store, while lifting the full-year result guidance largely over consensus estimates.
.5% in China / Asia Pacific.
Results: EPS of 75 cents on revenue of 6.63 billion. Sales of the same store grew 4% in total. America and US comparable store sales increased 4%, with transactions flat. Overall, China / Asia-Pacific quotas grew by 3%, while China compensated by 1%, while EMEA comps died 1%.
Outlook : Whole year EPS is seen at $ 2.68- $ 2.73, up from a previous view of $ 2.61- $ 2.66, with the new midpoint over consensus for $ 2.64 . Revenue is seen growing 5% -7% and repeating previous views, and global comparable sales are seen 3% -4% against a previous outlook on growth near the lower end of a 3% -5% range.
"We are particularly pleased with the sequential improvement in quarterly comparable business transactions in the United States, supported by our digital initiatives and improved implementation of our store experience," said CEO Kevin Johnson.
2% too late after closing 2.5% at 65.74 on the stock market today, dropped back under its 50-day line and almost wiped out the week's gains after saying Tuesday that the delivery service will expand to six major American cities.
Still, Starbucks warehouse is in a flat base with a 69,08 point of sale as part of a base-on-base formation.
Starbucks warehouse has excellent fundamentals that have driven it on the IBD Leaderboard and reflected in its excellent composite rating of 97. The stock has excellent price e-performance, so it has a relatively strong rating of 93.
Earlier this month, Goldman Sachs analyst Karen Holthouse said she reduced the stock to neutral from purchase on because of "incremental China concerns and valuation." She also cut her price target to 68 from 75.
Holthouse pointed out both Apple (AAPL) and McDonald's (MCD) experience weakness in region.
"SBUX has more openly recognized the impact of local competition In the region, Luckin has been at the forefront of investor concerns, "the analyst said in a research note. "Press releases about Luckin's growth targets indicate a significantly accelerating threat in 2019 that SBUX's own efforts to deliver may be contrary to counteracting."

Do not exceed the bend radius = Minimum bend radius for 5/8" id hose is 11 inches and Minimum bend radius for 5/16" id hose is 8 inches.
Reduce binding by using hook and loop straps for securing instead of cable ties.
Suspend hoses and manual dispensing glue guns away from the floor to prevent tripping, crushing and chaffing.
Use braided style hoses in applications where handgun hoses may drag across edges.
Use high flex hoses where robotics are used.
Verify the hose length is appropriate for the area to prevent stretching and extra strain on the fittings and areas surrounding the fittings.
We manufacture a variety of adhesive hoses for all types of applications and for OEM melters, such as Nordson, Slautterback, Melton, ITW, Robatech, HMT and Meltex.
We also make the hoses made obsolete by Nordson.
We carry the fittings and the inline filter assemblies that are on the ends of the hoses. Please let me know if you need help with ordering.

All general terms and conditions and legal information of The Mobility House for reference
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AND DELIVERY
I. Scope and contractual partner
1. The customer's contractual partner within the meaning of these General Terms and Conditions of Business and Delivery is The Mobility House GmbH, St.-Cajetan-Straße 43, 81669, Munich, Germany, Managing director: Marcus Fendt, Daniel Heydenreich, Robert Hienz, Commercial register: Munich District Court, HRB 195965 (hereinafter referred to as TMH).
2. The business relationship between TMH and the customer is governed exclusively by the following General Terms and Conditions of Business and Delivery in their valid version at the time of the order/when a voucher is redeemed/at the time the offer is submitted. All contractual offers made by the customer with reference to its own Terms and Conditions are hereby rejected.
3. No verbal ancillary agreements have been made. Third parties who perform work for TMH but are not employees of TMH are not authorized to reach agreements that deviate from these contractual terms or to give warranties. This also applies in case of subsequent changes and amendments.
4. Under these Terms, customers can be either consumers (private customers) or companies (business customers). Consumers as defined by these Terms are natural persons with whom business relations are established without this involving commercial or independent professional activity. Companies as defined by these Terms are natural persons or legal partnerships with whom business relations are established and who are pursuing commercial or independent professional activities, as well as legal entities under public law.
II. General
1. Formation of contract
a. The presentation of products in the online shop along with software and hardware solutions and other services does not constitute a legally binding offer, but rather a non-binding online catalog.
The customer can place a selected article in the virtual shopping basket by clicking on "Add to shopping basket". The customer is then forwarded to the virtual shopping cart. There the customer can check the added item and, if needed, make corrections, e.g. changing the quantity of the added article from the shopping basket by clicking on "Empty shopping basket" and/or select further articles, if required. By clicking on "Update shopping basket", the number of articles will be changed and updated in the system.
Within the framework of the described process for submitting an offer, the customer can check his previously made input again by pressing the input button (on the confirmation page that then opens).
It is possible to make a correction by clicking on the "Back" button of the browser to return to the previous page of the article or by simply closing the browser window and aborting the whole process. The page of the article can then be accessed again. Any corrections can be made using the normal keyboard and mouse functions in the corresponding input fields.
b. By clicking on the button "Checkout", the customer can enter additional data needed for the conclusion of the contract, e.g. name, address, billing address and the details of the means of payment to be used. The customer can then make a binding order for the goods contained in the shopping basket by clicking on the "Buy now" button.
If the system has automatically sent a confirmation of receipt of the customer's order, this does not represent acceptance of the offer, but is only meant to inform the customer that the offer for the conclusion of a contract has been received by TMH. If a confirmation of receipt of the customer's order is provided together with the acceptance of the order directly after it has been sent by means of an automated e-mail, the sales contract is concluded upon this e-mail confirmation.
c. Prior to sending the order through the online shopping basket of the TMH shop, it is possible to print out the order data with the print function of the browser or to save it electronically. After receipt of the order by TMH, the order data, the required legal information for remote sales contracts and the General Terms and Conditions will be sent to the Customer again via e-mail. TMH will not provide any additional information about the contract. Insofar that the customer has created a customer account in the online shop prior to submitting the order, the customer can retrieve the order data free of charge and at any time via the password-protected customer account by entering the corresponding login data until deletion of the customer account. TMH will also retain the contract for the duration of the statutory retention periods.
d. If TMH submits a written offer to the customer for products and/or services, the contract is established if the customer accepts the order, preferably in writing, within the deadline and/or if the customer makes use of the services offered by TMH.
2. Scope of service
The content and scope of the service owed by TMH are based on the description of services provided by TMH in the order form, voucher, or offer. TMH or third parties engaged by TMH to perform services are not obliged to carry out work that exceeds the contractually owed service (e.g. passthroughs, adjustment work and/or extra work, particularly if the existing electric installation is insufficient and/or no utility-scale power connection is provided). The customer bears sole responsibility for such tasks.
3. Delivery, shipment
a. The goods will be shipped ex works to the curb at the delivery address indicated by the customer. For cross-border delivery or service, the customer must pay the customs duties, fees, and other charges incurred. The transfer of risk is determined by Clause 4 of these General Terms and Conditions for Delivery and Service.
b. The delivery period for goods and services will be agreed individually or indicated by TMH upon acceptance of the order. Unless a binding date is expressly agreed, TMH makes no guarantees for a delivery period. If the customer fails to be present on the delivery date despite prior announcement and the customer did not communicate this absence in advance with a notice period of 3 days, TMH is entitled to demand compensation for all extra costs incurred as a result, particularly for additional delivery attempts or storage costs.
c. The customer is entitled to withdraw from the purchase if TMH culpably fails to comply with a bindingly agreed deadline or if TMH enters into default for another reason and the customer subsequently sets an appropriate grace period for TMH to provide the service that elapses unsuccessfully.
d. TMH reserves the right to refrain from carrying out an installation service due to unanticipated reasons or reasons for which TMH is not responsible. TMH will communicate this to the customer by email without undue delay. Any payment already made will be refunded to the customer.
e. TMH is entitled to perform partial deliveries as long as this is reasonable for the customer.
a. If the customer is a company, the risk of accidental destruction or accidental deterioration of the goods is transferred to the business customer upon handover, or in case of purchase involving shipment, upon delivery of the goods to the forwarding company, freight carrier, or other person specified to carry out the shipment.
b. If the customer is a consumer, the risk of accidental destruction or accidental deterioration of the purchased goods, even in case of purchase involving shipment, is not transferred to the buyer until the handover of goods.
c. The transfer of risk is the same if the customer is in default of acceptance.
5. Performance of services by third parties
TMH is entitled to engage third parties to perform the services owed, either in part or in full.
6. Prices, payment and maturity
a. The definitive prices are the prices indicated in the order form at the time of ordering the goods, when purchasing the voucher or in the offer for goods (notwithstanding Clause III.). All listed prices are in Euros including VAT before the delivery and shipping costs also listed there, where available. Extra services or special services are billed separately.
b. The costs for ordered goods or services are invoiced to the customer after shipment of the goods or completion of the ordered service unless otherwise stipulated in III. or separately. If the payment method is credit card or PayPal, the costs for ordered services or goods will be collected immediately after completion of the order process. No option to deduct discounts is provided.
c. If the customer enters into default of payment by receiving a warning after the due date or otherwise automatically after three days have elapsed since receipt of the invoice, TMH reserves the right to claim default damages (e.g. collection fees, reminder fees (for companies, 40.00 Euros in accordance with the statutory regulations), default interest).
d. When using a voucher, redeeming a voucher is considered equivalent to settling an invoice amounting to the voucher value or for the service described on the voucher. Points 6b. and 6c. are not relevant.
7. Reservation of title
Until complete payment, the delivered goods remain the property of TMH. The customer is obliged to properly insure the reserved goods that are still the property of TMH (i.e. theft, fire, water and low-voltage insurance). On request, evidence of appropriate insurance must be submitted to TMH. In case of damages, the customer's insurance claim is transferred to TMH.
8. Cooperation obligation of the customer
a. The customer is individually responsible for obtaining all necessary public and private authorization for the assembly, connection and operation of the charging infrastructure.
b. If the agreement involves the assembly and connection of the charging infrastructure or an installation check/site check, the customer must
(1) ensure that a suitable cleared space is provided for the installation check/site check, the assembly and connection of the charging infrastructure,
(2) perform any adjustment work to enable the assembly and connection of the charging infrastructure as well as subsequent operation,
(3) personally attend the installation appointment at the agreed time or be represented by an authorized third party,
(4) provide TMH or the third party engaged by TMH with the necessary information about the location of concealed power, gas, water lines or similar facilities along with the required static data, if required.
(5) grant TMH or the third party engaged by TMH the required rights of use, access and manipulation for the affected properties, buildings and rooms,
(6) guarantee that, insofar as the customer is not the owner of the property, the customer has obtained all authorizations in order to ensure the assembly and connection of the charging infrastructure and will fully indemnify and hold harmless TMH or the third party engaged by TMH in this regard.
c. If the assembly and connection of the charging infrastructure with regard to the services outlined under III is carried out by an installer not engaged by TMH, the customer must ensure that the installation is carried out within 3 months after the delivery of goods and the handover certificate is sent to TMH according to the latest template.
d. If it is not possible to perform the services at the agreed time due to a breach of the customer's cooperation obligations or other reasons for which the customer is responsible, a new date and time will be agreed and TMH is entitled to separately charge the extra costs for the delay of services or interruption of services (e.g. additional travel required).
a. The customer's claims to compensation for damages are excluded. This does not apply for the customer's claims to compensation owing to the injury of life, body or health, or to liability for other damages that are owing to a willful or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of TMH, its legal representatives or agents. Furthermore, this does not affect liability for the breach of duties which are indispensable for the fulfillment of the contract, and for which the customer regularly relies and is entitled to rely on compliance, or for maliciously concealed defects. For merely negligent breaches of these contractual duties, TMH is only liable for foreseeable damages that are typical for this type of contract, unless customer's claims to compensation are due to the injury of life, body, or health.
b. Paragraph 1 also applies to the benefit of the legal representatives and agents of TMH if claims are asserted directly against these parties.
c. The regulations of product liability law remain unaffected.
d. Liability for indirect or consequential damages such as lost profits, unrealized savings, interruption of operation, third-party claims and damages owing to defects or loss of data are excluded as far as legally permissible.
e. Temporary disruptions, restrictions and/or interruptions of the ChargePilot web portal or TMH customer portal (e.g. due to maintenance work) are possible and are not considered a technical defect. They do not entitle the customer to claims for refunds and/or compensation.
f. The services owed by TMH under contract rely in part (see also Clause III.) on necessary communications infrastructure such as mobile or cable-based internet connections. TMH is not liable for damages that occur as a result of a disruption to the communications infrastructure and/or power supply. The same applies if the customer engages third parties to install and/or configure the components and/or the vehicle contains defects that make proper charging impossible at least temporarily. The Smart Charging Controllers acquired by TMH only work in conjunction with the software provided by TMH. The charging infrastructure acquired by the customer only works subject to the presence of additional conditions that TMH is unable to influence, in conjunction with the software provided by TMH.
g. In compliance with the applicable statutory regulations, TMH is only liable for damages for which a sufficient causal relationship can be identified.
h. In case of loss of data for which TMH is responsible, the liability of TMH is restricted to the expense required for data recovery.
i. No liability is accepted for consequences arising due to changes made by the customer or a third party to the software and/or charging infrastructure or due to improper handling or incorrect use of the software and/or charging infrastructure.
10. Claim for defects
a. The warranty is provided based on the statutory regulations.
b. Insofar as the customer is a company, the customer must inspect the goods promptly after delivery to the extent feasible in the ordinary course of business. If necessary, the goods must also be subjected to a functional test. If the inspection or functional test reveals defects, TMH must be informed in writing without undue delay. The customer, who is an entrepreneur, must handle the goods with the due care of a prudent enterprise. If defects are not reported, all liability for defective goods is excluded. The quality of the goods is deemed as approved if no defect report is received by TMH within 14 days after delivery of the goods. Concealed defects that cannot be discovered within the above period can only be asserted against TMH if the notice of defects is received within one year after the handover of the goods.
c. TMH does not assume responsibility for warranty promises of equipment manufacturers.
d. If the installation of a product is not carried out by TMH or a third party authorized by TMH, TMH is not liable for faulty installation or defects or damages that can be attributed to the faulty installation, in particular failure to comply with the applicable installation regulations.
e. The customer, in particular if the customer is an entrepreneur, must describe defects in as much detail as possible and report them to TMH in writing.
11. Limitation period for claims for defects
a. If the customer is a company, defect claims for the manufacture and delivery of new goods become time-barred after one year. If the business customer resells the goods delivered by TMH during the course of usual business, the customer's recourse claims under Section 478 BGB remain unaffected, by way of derogation from the limitation period mentioned in Sentence 1.
b. If the customer is a consumer, defect claims for the manufacture and delivery of new goods become time-barred after two years, and defect claims involving the delivery of used goods become time-barred after one year.
12. References
The business customer agrees to be mentioned as a reference by The Mobility House GmbH after placing an order. The Mobility House GmbH is also entitled to use the business customer's logo on its own website and in marketing documents. This agreement can be withdrawn at any time without indicating reasons.
13. Transfer of contract
TMH is entitled to transfer this contract along with all rights and obligations to a company of its choice. If this contract is transferred to another company, the user is entitled to a special right of termination that must be asserted vis-à-vis TMH within one week after written notification.
14. Service and support
Customer inquiries (e.g. questions about operation, reports of technical disruptions etc.) can be submitted by email and/or phone from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Inquiries are generally answered within two working days. Nevertheless, the customer is not entitled to receive an answer within 2 days. Regulations deviating from Clause II. 13. must be agreed separately in writing between TMH and the user.
In case of obstacles to performance that are caused by force majeure or similar unforeseen events for which neither party is responsible, either contracting party is entitled to suspend the services owed under this contract for the duration of the impediment for as long as fulfillment is impossible due to this situation, provided that one contracting party receives notification of these circumstances from the other contracting party within two weeks after the occurrence of the force majeure event. This does not apply for payments owed under the respective contractual relationship.
16. Right of cancellation
If the customer as a consumer has concluded a contract with TMH concerning the delivery of goods, the private customer has a right of cancellation in accordance with the following cancellation policy:
a. Cancellation policy for goods
(1) Right of cancellation: The private customer has the right to withdraw from the contract within fourteen days without indicating reasons. The cancellation period is fourteen days starting from the day on which the private customer or a third party named by the private customer who is not the freight carrier took the last goods into their possession. In order to exercise the right of cancellation, the private customer must inform TMH: The Mobility House GmbH, St.-Cajetan-Straße 43, 81669 Munich, Germany, [email protected], Fax: +49 89 4161430 80 by means of an unambiguous declaration (e.g. a mailed letter, faxed or email) regarding the customer's decision to withdraw from the contract. The private customer can use the Sample Cancellation Form for this purpose, though this is not required. To comply with the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient if the private customer sends the notification about exercising the cancellation right before the cancellation period has elapsed.
(2) Consequences of cancellation: If the private customer withdraws from a contract, TMH must reimburse all payments that TMH has received from the private customer including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs resulting because the private customer chose a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by TMH) without undue delay, no later than within fourteen days starting from the date on which TMH received the notification of withdrawal from the contract. For this reimbursement, TMH will use the same payment method that the private customer used for the original transaction unless otherwise expressly agreed with the private customer; the private customer will not be charged for fees due to this reimbursement under any circumstances. TMH can refuse reimbursement until the goods have been returned to TMH or until the private customer has provided proof that the goods were shipped back, depending on whichever date is earliest. The private customer must send back or hand over the goods to TMH without undue delay and no later than fourteen days after the date on which the customer informed TMH of its withdrawal from the contract. To observe the deadline, the private customer must send the goods before the period of fourteen days has elapsed. The private customer will bear the direct costs of return shipping for goods whether or not they can be shipped in parcels. The costs for return shipment of goods that cannot be shipped in parcels is estimated at no more than 30.00 Euros. The private customer only has to pay for a potential loss of value in the goods if this loss of value can be attributed to handling the goods in a manner other than as required to inspect their quality, characteristics, and functionality. The goods only need to be picked up by TMH or at the cost of TMH if this was separately agreed or if the goods cannot be sent back by mail according to the statutory regulations.
b. Cancellation policy for services
(1) Right of cancellation: The private customer has the right to withdraw from the contract within fourteen days without indicating reasons. The cancellation period is fourteen days starting from the date of contract conclusion. In order to exercise the right of cancellation, the private customer must inform TMH (at the contact address outlined under II. 16. a. (1)) by means of an unambiguous declaration (e.g. a mailed letter, faxed or email) regarding the customer's decision to withdraw from the contract. The private customer can use the Sample Cancellation Form for this purpose, though this is not required. To comply with the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient if the private customer sends the notification about exercising the cancellation right before the cancellation period has elapsed.
(2) Consequences of cancellation: If the private customer withdraws from the contract, TMH must reimburse the private customer for all payments that TMH has received from the private customer including delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs that are incurred because the private customer chose a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by TMH) without undue delay and no later than within fourteen days starting from the date on which TMH received the notification of withdrawal from the contract. For this reimbursement, TMH will use the same payment method that the private customer used for the original transaction unless otherwise expressly agreed with the private customer; the private customer will not be charged for fees due to this reimbursement under any circumstances. If the private customer has requested for the services to begin during the cancellation period, the private customer must pay TMH an appropriate amount corresponding to the part of the service already completed by the date on which the private customer informs TMH of his or her withdrawal from the contract, in proportion to the total scope of the services outlined in the contract.
(3) Special note: For a contract concerning the provision of a service, the right to cancellation lapses prematurely if the contract is fully performed by both parties at the express request of the private customer before the private customer exercises the right of cancellation.
17. Data protection/Confidentiality
TMH obliges its employees to comply with the provisions of data protection law. More information can be found at "www.mobilityhouse.com/int_en/privacy-policy".
Furthermore, the contracting parties will treat as confidential any business and trade secrets of the other contracting party of which they obtain knowledge during the business relationship and after the end of the business relationship, unless one party releases the other party in writing from this obligation of secrecy.
TMH is obliged, and commits to obliging its employees through appropriate contractual provisions, to maintain secrecy concerning all documents handed over by the client, information exchange and knowledge obtained concerning this contract and its performance, even if they were not expressly designated as secret or confidential. The confidentiality obligation for TMH and its employees continues to apply after the end of the contract. This does not apply for disclosure to a court or an authority insofar as this disclosure occurs due to statutory obligations or based on the order of a court or an authority. Nor does this apply for those documents, information and knowledge obtained if and insofar as the customer consented in writing to their publication.
This obligation does not apply to information
(a) that was demonstrably known to the recipient when concluding the contract or subsequently became known due to a third party without any breach of a confidentiality agreement, statutory regulations, or official orders; or
(b) that was public knowledge when concluding the contract or subsequently became public knowledge as long as this is not due to a breach of this contract.
18. Amendment of these General Terms and Conditions
Unless otherwise specifically provided, TMH is entitled to amend or supplement these Terms and Conditions for continuing contractual relationships in the following manner:
TMH will notify the customer of any amendments or additions in writing within four weeks prior to such amendments or additions taking effect. If the customer disagrees with the amendments or additions to the contractual terms and conditions, the customer may object to the amendments or additions with one week's notice to the date on which the amendments or additions are intended to take effect. The objection must be made in writing and must be sent either by post to The Mobility House GmbH, St.-Cajetan-Straße 43, 81669 Munich or by e-mail to [email protected] or by fax to +49 89 4161430 80. If the customer does not object, the amendments or additions to the contractual terms and conditions will be considered to have been approved by the customer. TMH is obliged to inform the customer of the changes or amendments to the contractual terms and conditions and of the consequences of the customer's conduct.
III. TMH Services
1. ChargePilot charging and energy management system
a. Scope of service, operation, use
(1) Based on a separate agreement, TMH also offers the customer the service ChargePilot – the charging and energy management system from TMH. This involves the sale of a service consisting of hardware and software.
(2) The contracting partner must protect the access rights granted to the customer - in particular the access details required for the use of ChargePilot - from access by third parties and must not pass this data on to unauthorised third parties. If the contracting partner incurs the risk of improper or unauthorised use of the certificate and/or access rights, e.g. due to staff turnover or organisational change, the contracting partner must inform TMH in writing without delay and ensure that the access rights are changed without delay.
(3) With the exception of the non-exclusive rights of use for the software granted to the customer during the term of the contractual relationship, the ownership and all rights including (to the extent existing under applicable law) industrial property rights and supplementary ancillary copyrights in ChargePilot will remain the property of TMH or the relevant rights holders. The contracting party is not entitled to provide third parties access to the ChargePilot services and/or to enable third parties to use ChargePilot without the prior written consent of TMH. In addition, any other use of ChargePilot, beyond non-exclusive rights of use, is not permitted.
(4) TMH is authorised to suspend the access of the customer to ChargePilot immediately, if
(a) the client breaches the data or information security safeguards and/or the confidentiality of access rights;
(b) the customer breaches the confidentiality agreed under (2);
(c) the customer unlawfully breaches the access rights granted under (3);
(d) the customer seeks to gain access to the intellectual property of TMH, such as the source code of ChargePilot;
(e) a risk of damage to or interference with the systems of TMH or a risk of injury to other project participants or the general public exists;
(f) the processes or data transmitted by the contracting party via shared IT interfaces are in breach of applicable legal provisions or violate the rights of third parties; or
(g) circumstances exist, which entitle TMH to terminate the contract without notice (cf. Section III. 1. b. (4)).
TMH will inform the customer about the suspension of access, specifying the reasons for such decision. TMH retains the right to assert a claim for damages in addition to this. The customer is obliged to continue paying the contractually agreed fee for the duration of the suspension.
b. Formation of contract, duration, default of payment, price adjustment, termination
(1) The following applies to business customers within the meaning of § 14 BGB:
(a) The contract for the services offered under Clause III. 1. can be concluded as a subscription for a period of 24 months, as an advance payment for several years or as a "lifetime" model with a one-off payment. The duration of the advance payment model is based on the contractually agreed term. In the case of contracts with an agreed one-time payment, including the "lifetime" offer, the contracts concluded are contracts with an indefinite term, for which ordinary termination with the consequence of a repayment obligation is excluded. Upon conclusion of the contract, the customer must effect a one-off payment to be agreed individually with TMH.
(b) Regardless of the contract in question, the contract commences from the time when the customer initially uses the service offered by TMH, but no later than 3 months following the delivery of the goods or if the commencement of the contract is delayed further after the expiry of these 3 months due to a breach of the customer's duty to cooperate or other reasons for which the customer is responsible, irrespective of the services not yet rendered by TMH. The above does not apply, if this has been agreed otherwise in writing between TMH and the user. Upon commencement of the contract term, the costs specified under Section III. 1. c.) apply in full.
(c) If the contract was concluded as a subscription, it shall be automatically renewed for another 24 months following the expiry of 24 months, subject to Section III. 1. b. (3), unless it was terminated before the end of the 23rd month. The contract shall thereafter be renewed for an indefinite period of time with a notice period of one month (cf. Section III. 1. b. (3)). If an advance payment model with a specific term has been agreed on, the contract terminates automatically after expiry of the agreed term without any further declarations on the part of either of the contracting parties being required. Contracts concluded with one-time payment (including "lifetime" offer) are open-ended and therefore do not terminate.
(d) If the customer defaults on payment, TMH is authorised to suspend the services agreed under the contract until the customer has complied with its payment obligations in full or until the parties have concluded a separate written agreement.
(e) TMH is entitled to adjust the applicable price list to changing market conditions, if there are significant changes in procurement costs, changes in value added tax or procurement prices, provided that the contract is extended. In the event of price changes, which substantially exceed the regular increase of the cost of living, the customer will be granted a special right of termination, which must be exercised by the customer within two weeks after written notification to TMH in writing (cf. Section III. 1. b. (3)). In this event, TMH will inform the customer of this in text form.
(2) The following applies to consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB:
(a) The contract can be concluded for the services offered under Section III. 1. as a subscription for the duration of 24 months.
(b) The contract starts on the date the customer first uses the service and no later than 3 months after the delivery of the goods, unless otherwise agreed in writing between TMH and the user. If the start of contract is further delayed for 3 months after the delivery of goods due to a breach of the customer's cooperation obligations or other reasons for which the customer is responsible, the contract term begins regardless of the services that TMH is not yet able to provide. At the start of the contract term, the costs outlined under III. 1. c.) are due in full.
(c) The contract shall be automatically renewed for another 24 months following the expiry of 24 months unless it was terminated before the end of the 23rd month. The contract shall thereafter be renewed for an indefinite period of time with a notice period of one month (cf. Section III. 1. b. (3)).
(3) An ordinary right of termination is not applicable for the prepayment scheme, the lifetime scheme and the initial contract term of the subscription scheme with a duration of 24 months. Both parties can terminate the contractual relationship for a subscription contract of twenty-four months by the end of the month preceding the last month of the initial contract term, I.e. by the end of the twenty-third month. If the contractual relationship has already been renewed, both contracting parties may terminate the contractual relationship in writing by email, with a notice period of one month to the end of the next quarter. The receipt of the written declaration by TMH is authoritative for termination. The same conditions apply for individual ChargePilot modules and packages designated as such.
Termination is declared in writing by sending an email to the email address [email protected] or by post to The Mobility House GmbH, St.-Cajetan-Straße 43, 81669 Munich, including the customer's name and customer address, postal code, place of residence or business, and desired date of termination. The right of both parties to terminate the contract without notice remains unaffected.
(4) Both TMH and the user are entitled to terminate the contractual relationship without notice for good cause. TMH is considered to have good cause for terminating the contract particularly if the customer is in default of payment for more than 14 business days or if collection of claims from the customer is not possible and TMH set a grace period of 8 business days for the customer to remedy the situation. Good cause is also considered to exist if TMH is not able to continue providing the service. In case termination without notice is due to the fault of the customer, TMH reserves the right to demand compensation for the damages caused to TMH as a result of prematurely ending the contractual relationship and not properly performing the contract up to the earliest possible ordinary date of termination.
c. Costs
The customer must pay TMH for the costs of the service offered under Clause III. 1. based on a separated agreement.
2. ChargePilot – Billing Portal
a. Scope of service and prices
(1) TMH offers the customer the service ChargePilot – the billing portal – together with a billing partner under a separate agreement. This is an online platform for the management of charging stations, charging processes and charging station users. The service is only available in connection with smart, OCPP-enabled charging stations.
The service of TMH in this respect is limited to the creation and administration of your account and sub-accounts, the charging stations under your name, the administration of the charging cards as well as all support services for the billing portal. The service is subject to a non-recurring set-up fee, which will be charged in accordance with a separate individual agreement. TMH can only provide services linked to the billing portal subject to acceptance by the customer or the fee-paying users of the terms of use and subscription of the billing partner (cf. Section III. 2.b).
(2) The billing portal allows companies and users to charge electric cars for a fee or free of charge at a charging station at the respective company's premises. The company issues RFID cards, with prior activation by TMH, for identifying users at the charging stations who are charged or not charged. TMH assumes no responsibility for the verification of whether the vehicle being charged is actually the intended user.
(3) In addition, the billing portal also allows companies to charge guests (unknown users), whose electric vehicle can be charged or not charged, at a charging station at the company's premises. The station can be advertised on the networks of supported charging card or charging app providers.
(4) The billing portal also allows users of company vehicles to be refunded automatically by the company when charging at the private charging station at home and when charging the electric vehicle used for business purposes.
To this end, the user of the company vehicle gives the company, TMH and its service providers permission to link the private charging station into the billing portal, if applicable, and to process the data supplied.
The user of the company vehicle must ensure that only vehicles approved by the company are charged at the charging station and, if necessary, provide written proof of this. TMH assumes no liability for the accuracy of the data provided by the user regarding the charged vehicles. TMH is not obliged to verify the data.
(5) The company and users of company vehicles, who are subject to a charge, can always access an overview of all charging processes in the billing portal. It is also possible to administer charging stations incl. rates, users and customer data.
(6) If TMH creates a new user or an RFID card as a service on behalf of the user or the company, TMH will bill either the company or the user in accordance with the offer/framework agreement.
(7) TMH does not accept any liability for the accuracy of the data provided. TMH is not required to provide any advance performance and accepts no liability for delays in payments. TMH is authorised to have individual services carried out by third parties.
b. Performance of the billing partner
(1) All services regarding the operation of the platform as well as station and card subscriptions and automated billing are directly agreed with the billing partner in accordance with the special terms of use and subscription terms.
(2) To this end, the billing partner concludes a contract with each customer according to the terms of use and subscription terms of the billing portal. The contract becomes effective upon acceptance of the offer by TMH or the initial registration of the user on the platform or the activation of the charging stations or charging cards by actively agreeing to the terms and conditions of subscription concluded.
(3) When charging the electric vehicles, the billing partner assumes responsibility for billing the electricity charges incurred by the users, who are charged, and the charging card or charging app providers, in accordance with the terms and conditions of their subscriptions. In addition, the billing partner will pay for the electricity used at home by users charging their company vehicles. Costs incurred by charging are reimbursed to the company by the billing partner according to the rate specified or invoiced.
(4) The company or the chargeable users will be invoiced on a monthly basis by the billing partner of TMH for the fee for station and card subscriptions and for the charging costs, respectively, in accordance with Section III. 2. e.
c. Cooperation obligation of the customer
(1) The customer must check that all data provided in the billing portal, in particular the bank details, are correct and updated. The customer data must be reviewed and, if necessary, updated or completed. The user is obliged to provide all data in a truthful manner.
(2) Regardless of whether the customer is a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB or an entrepreneur within the meaning of § 14 BGB, the customer must keep all access rights provided to him/her secure and protected from misuse. This data must not be transferred to third parties.
(3) The company is required to inform the users in writing of the rate per kilowatt hour (€/kWh) before billing or charging, if these charging stations are not available to the public. Any changes to the rate will take effect immediately after the change is made in the billing portal. The company is obliged to inform all users in writing before the new rate comes into effect.
(4) The company is reminded that in Germany the billing of charging processes may only occur at calibrated charging stations. TMH and the billing partner assume no liability if uncalibrated stations are used.
(5) The loss or theft of an RFID card must be immediately reported to TMH. Following notification of the loss or theft, TMH may block the RFID card by using the card's identification number. All transactions effected with the RFID card, before this card has been reported lost or stolen by the user and blocked by TMH, will be charged to the user.
(6) The customer will be provided with a new RFID card by TMH at an additional cost, if the RFID card is lost or stolen.
(7) The user is only authorised to activate one vehicle assigned to each RFID card. In the event of breach of contract and the activation of several vehicles/users using the same RFID card, TMH reserves the right to impose a contractual penalty on the user amounting to a surcharge of 100% of the acquisition costs for each breach, in addition to the expenses not incurred for the procurement of an additional RFID card. TMH reserves the right to claim further damages, in which case the contractual penalty incurred so far will be offset against the damages. Furthermore, TMH is entitled to temporarily block the RFID card.
d. Conclusion of contract, term, default of payment, price adjustment, termination
(1) Regarding the performance of TMH
(a) The contract for the services provided by TMH as specified in Section III. 2. a. is concluded for a period of 24 months. The contract comes into force when the customer makes use of the services for the first time, but not later than three months after the commissioning, unless otherwise agreed in writing between TMH and the user. The service is deemed to have been made use of as soon as at least one of the customer's charging stations is connected to the platform. The contract shall be automatically renewed for another 24 months following the expiry of 24 months unless it was terminated before the end of the 23rd month. The contract shall thereafter be renewed for an indefinite period of time with a notice period of one month (cf. Section III. 2. d. (1) (d)).
(b) If the customer is in default of payment, TMH is entitled to suspend the agreed services.
(c) TMH is entitled to adjust the relevant price list to any changes of the market conditions, , in particular in the event of significant changes in the procurement costs, changes in the value added tax or in the procurement prices, when extending the contract. In the event of price increases, which significantly exceed the regular increase of living costs, the customer has an extraordinary right of termination for a period of two weeks after notification of the intended price change, which he must assert in writing against TMH. This will be communicated to the customer by TMH in text form in such cases.
(d) Both parties may terminate the present contractual relationship by the end of the month preceding the last month of the initial contract term, in other words, by the end of the twenty-third month. If the contractual relationship has been extended, both contracting parties may terminate the contractual relationship in writing by e-mail subject to a notice period of one month to the end of the subsequent quarter. The date of receipt of the written notice of termination by TMH applies.
Termination must be made in writing by e-mail to the e-mail address [email protected] or by post to The Mobility House GmbH, St.-Cajetan-Straße 43, 81669 Munich, stating the customer name and address, postcode, place of residence or establishment and the desired date of termination. This does not affect the right of both parties to terminate without notice.
(e) TMH as well as the user are entitled to extraordinary termination of the contractual relationship due to good cause. Good cause exists for TMH for the termination of the contract in particular, if the customer is in default of payment for more than fourteen working days, or if it is not possible to recover the receivables from the customer and TMH has given the customer a period of eight working days to remedy the situation to no avail. Good cause also exists, if TMH is unable to continue to provide the service. In the event of reasons for extraordinary termination caused by the customer through fault, TMH reserves the right to demand compensation for damages incurred by TMH due to the premature termination of the contractual relationship and failure to perform it properly until the next possible termination date.
(2) With respect to the billing partner
The conclusion of the contract, the term, the event of default in payment, a price adjustment as well as the possibility of termination are agreed individually between the customer/user and the billing partner.
e. Costs
The customer must pay costs for the service provided under Section III. 2. to TMH or the billing partner in accordance with a separate agreement. The amount of the costs will be agreed with TMH on the basis of the offer.
Any additional users/charging stations added by the customer or by TMH on behalf of the customer will be billed for the entire month as of the moment of activation.
f. Deletion of the customer account
TMH reserves the right to delete or deactivate as well as terminate user accounts, which have been inactive for a period of twelve months or longer. This deletion period will only begin as of the thirteenth month after the contract was concluded and the account was set up. Consequently, deletion of the customer account is possible at the earliest as of the beginning of the twenty-fifth month after the contract was concluded and the account was set up. "Inactive" refers to the absence of any log-in on the site or on the platform provided by TMH within a period of 12 months. TMH will notify the customer 30 days prior to the expiry of this twelve-month period following the last log-in on the site using one of the contact channels specified during registration and opening of the customer account, and will inform the customer of the imminent closure/deletion of the customer's account in 30 days' time.
After deletion, all data stored in the customer account by the customer will be deleted so that the customer no longer has access to it.
TMH will provide the user/customer with updates for TMH software as needed during the contract term. These generally involve enhancements of the standard products and ensure contractual functionality. The customer/user will not be charged any additional fees for such updates.
4. Upgrades
Where relevant, TMH may offer upgrades of the originally acquired software to the customer/user during the contract term in exchange for a fee. These generally involve additional product modules and packages that can be separately ordered or acquired by the customer/user.
IV. Final provisions
1. These General Terms and Conditions are subject to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the exclusion of the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
2. English is the sole contract language.
3. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes concerning contractual relationships between the customer and TMH is Munich if the customer is a company, a legal entity under public law or a public-law special fund.
4. The remaining sections of the contract remain binding even if individual points are legally invalid.

As you know, we'll be rolling out the new Time Management Tools City-wide on Thursday, June 6th. As much as we'd like to believe that the roll out of the new tools will be painless and error free, we do expect some bumps. You, the timekeeper, should be the first person that an employee contacts if they have an issue. We hope that you keep the links to the cheat sheets and videos handy so you can direct your employee to the appropriate information. A description of specific changes can be found here.
Is your employee using Windows 7 or Windows XP?
Is your employee using Internet Explorer 8 or 9?
Which application was your employee using?
What isn't working as described in the user guides and other supporting materials?
What error message did your employee get? Can you provide a screen shot of the message?
Thank you for your help and patience as we all begin to teach City employees how to use these new tools!

It is going well, I still am in early days but counsellor is very good and professional.
Still working on the various sides to tackle in the treatment. I do see the various actions we are trying to do and what we are trying to achieve I understand the slow process to "unpeal" the layers in order to have a better balance Patience and trust in the process and therapist is key Very good therapist I have to admit after two months. We still have work to do but as mention there is a nice clear explanation of the steps, and techniques. The therapist is not just listening but able to adjust the relationship when required which is perfect. sometimes I need the soft empathy, sometimes I need to be told what I am thinking is wrong. Very flexible and accommodating as well which is important.
